He placed his hand on the railing, the cold and smooth wooden railing had a delicate texture, and quickly softened under the warmth of his fingers. It was rare for him to be completely relaxed, Garon stood on the railing, and fell into silence.
After some time.
"Lucian, why are you here?" The balcony on the first floor was facing the second floor, and a clear voice of a young man came from below.
"I want to be alone for a while." Another cold and indifferent male voice sounded. The tone of the voice was not cold, but it gave people a sense of indifference and distance.
"Baiers and the others are here, and Violet Orchid and Corning, why don't you go out and meet them?" The clear young man asked in a low voice.
The other party did not answer.
"Don't be so afraid of strangers?"
“.....”
"It's rare to see so much good food, it's hard to even get a portion normally, if you didn't bring us here, we probably wouldn't have seen so much good food, hurry up, give us some face." The clear young man seemed to be dragging his feet.
"Good food? You guys can't really be eating with open bellies … "This time, the cold young man seemed to be a little emotional. "You think I spent so much effort to get four invitations just to let you guys in to eat?"
"Don't be so petty, we're all comrades who have gone through thick and thin together." The clear young man patted his shoulder, "Compared to the important people on the second floor who can't go up, isn't the good food on the table more practical?"
"Lucian, your father is calling you up to the second floor." Suddenly, a clear voice came from the noisy hall on the first floor, it was a young girl with a clear voice.
Then, Lucian on the first floor covered his face. The hall on the first floor was silent for a moment, and then laughter could be heard. Those who were able to attend this banquet were either well-mannered nobles, or merchants with powerful backgrounds, or scholars. But under Garen's Black Swamp Palace's aura, everyone behaved properly. In a banquet for high-ranking nobles like this, Lucern instantly became famous.
His father was also an upper-level noble and had a strong influence. Lucian was the role model among the noble children of the original Kovitan Empire. He was handsome, elegant and had outstanding abilities. Because his skin was as white as snow, he was known as the Noble Prince of Snow. When he was escaping from the territory to the Kingdom, he got to know some commoners from the countryside. This incident had always been a hot topic in the circle of nobles in the Kingdom.
He didn't expect that he would dare to bring these country bumpkins to such a high class banquet. His father actually allowed him to do as he pleased.
Garon couldn't help but smile as he listened to the commotion in the hall below. These people reminded him of his life back in the Vanderman Manor. Although his life back then was short, it was unprecedentedly peaceful, just like in the Secret Technique World.
"Why are you here alone?" The gentle voice of a young girl came from behind.
Garon didn't answer. He just continued to look at the scenery at the foot of the mountain at night, enjoying a rare bit of peace.
The girl behind him walked to his side and made the same gesture of holding the railing.
"Could it be that a powerful person like Lord Garon also has troubles that he can't deal with?" The girl stood to the right of Garon. She wore a pure white dress, showing off her slender waist, full breasts, slender legs, faint body fragrance, a head of fiery red waist-length hair spread out behind her, with a white hair band hanging in the middle.
This was a very beautiful and confident young girl. She looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and was at the peak of her youth.
"I'm human too. I have normal troubles and worries too. Is that strange?" Garon said calmly.
He turned his face and glanced at the girl.
"Your heart is beating very fast."
The girl's expression was slightly stiff. She tried her best to make a natural smile.
"I'm just a little excited to see my idol."
She was confident that she had the purest appearance in the entire banquet. She had done her research and found that Garon liked this type the most. Pure, pleasant, considerate.
This was an opportunity for her to make a huge leap. As long as she could grab hold of this opportunity, her family, which had been in dire straits, would instantly rise from the dead. She was an ambitious woman. As long as she could get close to the Black Swamp Palace Master, she was mentally prepared to pay any price.
But Garon's clear and calm expression made her wonder if there was something wrong with her attractiveness.
"You're still young. There are many paths in life. Don't put everything on the line before you see everything clearly." Garon looked at the girl in front of him. For some reason, he suddenly thought of his sister Ying Er in the Secret Technique World. He suddenly realized that other than the difference in hair color and personality, the two of them were surprisingly similar in appearance and temperament.
I'll go back.
He made a decision in his heart. It had only been three years since he transmigrated to this world. He still had a chance. As long as he could find the secret of the Black Smoke Pot.
If he could solve the threat of Hellgate, then after that, it would be time to truly find the secret of the Black Smoke Pot.
Garon reached out his hand and patted the girl's hair.
"Go back."
A gentle force gently pushed the girl away, making her unable to speak.
The girl's face was slightly pale. Looking at Garon's back, she finally turned around and returned to the hall.
After a while, a familiar figure walked into the balcony. She was wearing a black corset evening gown. It was a beautiful and delicate girl with long legs. This girl's long legs were unusually eye-catching. Her proportions were much larger than the average girl's. Her long brown hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked quite heroic.
"Master." The girl stood behind Garon and said softly.
"Sylvia, how are things on Sophie's side? Is Jenny okay? "Garon turned around and asked softly.
Ever since Sylvia was gifted to Garon by the First Princess and had the parasite in her body removed, she was arranged by Garon to stay by his cousin Hathaway's side. She returned to her original life, but her position was changed to being under Garon in the palace area. She was the source for Garon to collect information on his cousin's safety.
"Everything is fine on Miss Sophie's side. Miss Jenny has entered the White Phoenix Forest Academy and is much more restrained now." Sylvia was now living next to Hathaway and could be considered her neighbor.
"That's good. As for the First Princess …"
"The First Princess has completely cut off all contact with her subordinates." Sylvia was originally sold to the First Princess as a slave. Now that she was transferred to Garon, she became Garon's female slave. Fortunately, Garon did not have any bad requests for her. After not seeing each other for a while, if not for Manager Lala's sudden summons, she would have almost forgotten her identity as a female slave.
"Alright, you may leave." Garon nodded to show his understanding. "Oh right, call Lala in."
Sylvia bowed and left. Soon, Lala, who was wearing a long white dress with silver edges, walked into the balcony.
"Have you found the person I asked you to find?"
"Still not …" Lala frowned and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Master. Based on Master Leila's behavior when he left, it doesn't seem like he returned to the Obscuro Society."
Garon pondered for a while. "Continue to arrange people. Inform me immediately when you find him."
"Understood."
"Also, get Kid to come to me."
"Kid?" Lala was slightly confused. She immediately reacted and smiled bitterly. "Understood." Kid always appeared and disappeared mysteriously. It was not easy to find him in a short period of time. However, since the boss had spoken, the subordinates naturally had to work harder.
When Garon returned this time, he handed over the mission of exchanging Glittering Water with the Cthulhu King's Cthulhu's Origin to the subordinates of the Black Swamp Palace. Lala sent someone to secretly contact the Cthulhuism Society's stronghold. He did not have to do this himself. The remaining time was to re-study the mysterious Kid and the little girl in red beside Cody.
When he thought of the strange little girl with a snake-like tongue, Garon did not know why but he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
After Lala left, the hall behind him gradually quieted down without him noticing.
Time passed by slowly. After an unknown amount of time, Garon suddenly frowned and slowly turned around.
At this moment, at the entrance of the hall, a little black cat with red eyes appeared on the ground. It sat on the ground and licked its lips occasionally. A pair of big red eyes stared curiously at Garon.
"How did you get in?" Garon stared at the red-eyed black cat and frowned as he asked.
Meow ~ ~
The black cat meowed cutely.
"Trying to be mysterious!" Garon frowned even more. A gust of black wind moved without any wind and blew onto the black cat's body with a whoosh.
In the midst of the dripping sound of water, the black cat's body suddenly stiffened. Then, within a few seconds, its entire body started to melt rapidly, like a candle being baked in high temperature. It instantly turned into a puddle of black water on the ground.
"It hurts …" A clear little girl's voice came from the black water.
Garon narrowed his eyes. He saw that in the middle of the black water, a bright red little mouth had formed without him noticing. The voice was coming from there.
Starting from the little mouth, the black water seemed to have reversed time. Step by step, the black water turned back into flesh and bones, and then reformed into a naked little girl.
The little girl was completely naked. Her light red hair draped over her shoulders. She was only half as tall as Garon. Her slightly developed body was unusually tender and attractive. But she did not seem shy at all. She only stared curiously at Garon with her blood-red eyes.
"Your existence makes me feel very uncomfortable." Garon grabbed with his right hand.
Bam!
The little girl instantly exploded into countless pieces of flesh and blood, splattering all over the ground.
Strangely, the countless pieces of flesh gathered together and formed the little girl's body again. She walked step by step towards Garon.
Garon's eyes faintly flashed with the brutal killing intent of the Nine-Headed Dragon. A faint black fog appeared around him.
He did not know how this little girl found him, but it was very likely related to his encounter with Cody during the day. Now, it seemed like she wanted to give him a warning? Or was she here to test his strength and attitude?
The surrounding environment seemed to have entered an illusion, but it did not feel like an illusion at all. Rather than calling it an illusion, it would be better to call it a kind of isolation, a spatial isolation.
"Why?" The little girl looked at him strangely. "Why don't you like my body? Aren't all of you like this? "
"Did Cody ask you to come?" Garon asked in a low voice. "You do seem a little strange. But why did you come here?"
"Have you seen the Door to Heaven?" The little girl did not answer his question. Instead, she asked a strange question.
"Door to Heaven?"
