A bony and slender hand reached out from behind the curtain and parted it from the middle. As the curtain was opened, the appearance of the person inside was also revealed.
It was a tall and cold man, with a thin and slender figure. He was wearing a tuxedo, and the style was similar to the staff outside. However, the tuxedo he wore was white and looked very low-key. However, if one looked closely, they would find that there were a lot of fine dark silver embroidery patterns on the cold white knitted fabric.
Although he looked low-key, that was not the case.
Coupled with his handsome face and short silver hair, he gave off a sense of elegance.
Of course, the premise of all this was that one had to ignore the drooping dog ears on top of its head and the fluffy tail that drooped behind it.
After he lifted the curtain, he subconsciously lowered his head to look at Lil 'Red. After confirming that Lil 'Red was fine, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief and raised his head to look at the figures behind Lil' Red.
When he saw the people behind Lil 'Red clearly, he was stunned.
During those few seconds, Angor clearly saw the man's eyes slowly turning from scrutinizing to surprise, eagerness, surprise, and sadness.
"Long time no see … Meatball," Laplace spoke in a soft voice. "Meatball."
He quickly regained his senses and nodded to Laplace in a fluster. "I-I didn't think you'd come, mister. Long time no see. Meatball. "
When he saw Laplace, he even stuttered a little. Lil 'Red also looked at Laplace curiously.
She already sensed Laplace's aura similar to her doggy brother's. She felt that the two of them had some sort of connection. This was why she decided to bring Laplace and the others here. Now, it seemed that she was right.
However, she was still surprised by her doggy brother's excited expression. What was the relationship between the red-haired lady and the doggy brother?
Could it be … the relationship between the prince and the princess in the sketchbook? Thinking about the sketchbook she had hidden under her pillow, Little Red's cheeks couldn't help but blush.
No one noticed Little Red's expression. The dog deacon sensed Little Red's inner thoughts, but it was too lazy to care about Little Red's sketchbook. All its attention was on Laplace.
In a way, Laplace was not only its savior, but also its only relative in this world. The dog deacon knew Laplace did not like crowds, so it did not dare to disturb him too much. However, the dog never stopped thinking about Laplace.
Because of this, when it saw Laplace appear in front of it, its heart was instantly filled with excitement.
Its hands were trembling. It did not know where to put them.
Angor also noticed the dog deacon's excitement. Originally, he was still wondering if this person was the Dog Deacon, but from Laplace's greeting and his excitement, he was certain that this person was the Dog Deacon.
The Canine Deacon's excitement was not only shown by its trembling body, but also by its ears that suddenly stood up and its tail that swayed like a windmill behind it.
Angor felt that the dog's tail would fly to the sky if it wagged its tail any faster.
"Hey, hey, you can't just wag your tail. We have something to talk to you about. Shouldn't you invite us in? Luigi saw that the dog deacon did not respond, so he decided to step forward and interrupt the dog deacon's excitement.
The dog deacon knew who Luigi was, and it calmed down a little after hearing Luigi's words. It originally thought that Laplace was here to see it, but … it seemed that it was wrong.
However, the thought only lasted for a second or two before it disappeared.
It did not matter why Laplace came. As long as the dog deacon could see Laplace again, it would be a pleasant surprise. "Excuse me, sir. Please come with me." Deacon Canine gently lifted the curtain and spoke respectfully to Laplace.
However, Laplace didn't enter immediately. Instead, he silently lowered his head and looked at the dog deacon's tail that was dancing so fast that it was almost a shadow.
If the dog deacon's tail was only wagging, it would not affect anything. But now, it was spinning so fast that it almost took up half of the door.
The canine deacon didn't understand what Laplace meant at first, but when it lowered its head, it realized that its tail was wagging unconsciously.
The dog blushed and stammered, "I-I didn't notice …" Laplace remained silent for a moment and said slowly, "It's not your fault." "…"
The dog deacon tried its best to control its tail, but no matter how hard it tried, it would not stop wagging.
It was an instinctive action.
After thinking for a while, the dog deacon took a step back. A silver light appeared in its eyes. The moment the light appeared, it enveloped the dog deacon's body.
In the next second, the dog deacon's tall body started to shrink slowly. After a while, it turned from a two-meter-tall human into a one-meter-tall puppy.
It was hard to tell what kind of dog it was, but it looked like a bean dog.
The cold white tuxedo also shrank. It did not look out of place on the dog deacon's body. Instead, it looked cute.
The only thing missing was the pair of shiny leather shoes. At this moment, the Dog Deacon was no longer walking on the floor with a dull thud, but a rhythmic "Da Da Da".
The dog deacon's tail was still wagging unconsciously, but it did not block the way anymore. Everyone walked into the dog deacon's office.
… ….
The layout of the Deacon's House was very simple. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was plain. The floor was made of solid wood, and there were several pieces of wooden furniture.
Only the guest room was covered with a white carpet and some simple decorations. The dog deacon was currently sitting on the second seat at the long table in the guest room.
The main seat was empty.
The dog deacon wanted Laplace to take the main seat, but Laplace did not intend to do so. Instead, he sat across from the dog deacon and took the second seat as well.
Angor and Luigi each took a seat beside Laplace.
Little Red, who had brought them here before, had been ordered by the dog deacon to temporarily become a servant girl. She was busily holding the teacups.
The simple greeting did not stop the dog deacon's excitement. However, it knew that Laplace had something to say, so it held back its urge to express its longing and asked, "Sir, may I know why you're here today? I'll do my best to help. " "Alright."
Laplace didn't even have to say what the problem was, but the dog deacon had already offered to help. It was obvious how important Laplace was to the dog deacon.
Laplace said, "I do have some matters that I hope you can help me with. But it's not about me. It's about this … "Laplace looked at Angor.
Angor quickly took the initiative to introduce himself.
For the first time, Canine Deacon finally looked at Angor. The boy was wearing cat ears, but the dog deacon could tell that the boy was a human.
Instinctively, the dog deacon tried to use its talent to see through Angor's mind. However, before it could do so, Laplace suddenly looked at the dog deacon.
Laplace knew about the dog deacon's ability. He even studied the origin of the deacon's ability and knew how to use it.
During the time he was being studied, Laplace only needed to glance at him, and Canine Deacon knew what to do. Now, Laplace's gaze was telling the dog to stop it.
The canine deacon didn't know who Angor was, nor did it know the relationship between Laplace and Angor. Still, it obeyed Laplace's request and listened to Angor's words carefully.
Of course, Angor's request had something to do with Shibolov.
At first, Angor only wanted to ask about Shibolov's location. However, Glepnir suggested that he tell the dog deacon everything, including why he was looking for Shibolov.
He also didn't hide the fact that he was interested in Heart Fire.
According to Glepnir, Shibolov could only help you.
It will give you a chance to come into contact with the person behind him and use this to get closer to the Heart Fire Palace. But Shibolov can't help you if you want to gain Heart Fire's approval.
The Omniscient House knew about all the races in the White Sun Mirror Domain, including the secrets of various energy systems. Perhaps they also studied the Heart Fire of Ingit.
Therefore, Gleipnir suggested that Angor should not hide his desire for the Heart Fire. Perhaps the canine deacon would be able to help him.
Angor's explanation was thorough and detailed. The dog deacon did not reply right away. Instead, it fell into deep thought.
To outsiders, it looked like the dog deacon was thinking about Angor's story. In fact, the dog deacon was not thinking about Shibolov or Heart Fire of Ingit. It was thinking about the relationship between Laplace and Angor.
As far as the dog deacon was concerned, neither Shibolov nor Heart Fire was a big deal. They did not even need to fight. They could solve the problem by talking. That was why the dog deacon was confused.
Why would Laplace send out his avatar for something like this? Luigi and Glepnir could solve it?
Who exactly was Angor that Laplace was so interested in him?
According to Angor, he came from the southern wizardry region and was an alchemist. The dog deacon had to admit that alchemists were rare talents. Even the Omniscient House treated them as VIPs.
But was that really enough to attract Laplace's attention? Would Laplace really care about alchemy in the southern wizardry region?
Or did this human have something to do with Nether City?
The dog deacon knew about the Wise Lord and how Laplace was indebted to the Wise Lord. If Angor had something to do with the Wise Lord, it would explain a lot of things.
But was that really the answer?
The dog deacon remained silent for a while, so Laplace figured out what was on the dog deacon's mind. She considered and spoke first. "Whatever you want to ask, you can ask now. Alright. "
Since Laplace was giving the dog a way out, the dog deacon accepted it. The dog deacon nodded and put on a serious expression.
In the dog deacon's eyes, the dog deacon looked very serious. However, Dou Hound was now a dog, and no matter how solemn Dou Hound was, it still looked honest.
Angor did not want to look into the dog deacon's eyes, so he looked away.
Luckily, the dog deacon did not notice Angor's expression. It only had eyes for Laplace. "I do have a question for you, sir. Why are you helping Angor? " "Alright."
It was a little rude to ask such a question in front of Angor. However, the dog deacon did not care about Angor's manners. Laplace's answer would determine how much it would help Angor.
"Angor is my most important business partner," Laplace said. "Alright."
Laplace deliberately emphasized the word "most" to express his attitude. The dog deacon considered for a moment and nodded. "I see." "Alright."
The dog deacon still did not know what happened between Laplace and Angor, but it did remember that Laplace never said "most" when it asked about the relationship between Laplace and the Wise Lord.
This showed how important Laplace was to Angor.
Since Laplace valued Angor so much, the dog deacon decided to help Angor until the end. "I can help you find Shibolov's location first." "Alright."
As he spoke, the dog deacon summoned Lil 'Red.
The dog deacon untied the small bell around its neck and handed it to Little Red. This was a token that represented the dog deacon's authority. It was enough to find Shibolov's location.
After Little Red skipped away, Luigi could not help but ask the question in his heart, "This Little Red is your direct investigator? "Yes."
The dog deacon nodded. "Yes."
Luigi asked, "Does she have some special abilities like you? "Hmm?"
Dog Deacon pondered for a moment and said, "On the way here, did Little Red say something strange?" "Not really …"
Luigi briefly recounted what had happened on the road.
"You're right. Little Red has a special sense of smell. She can pick up some special information. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a deeper scent. It's something that can only be interpreted by Little Red herself. " "Hmm?"
Lil 'Red smelled different scents on different people, or rather, the information it received was actually different. The stronger or more mysterious someone was, the harder it would be to interpret their scent.
She could smell something similar to the dog deacon's scent on Luigi and Laplace, but that was all. She couldn't pick up anything more complicated.
Angor's scent was the same as the one produced by the Wicked Witch's Blessing not long ago. Little Red also couldn't pick up anything more ancient.
Due to the limitations and the random nature of the information, Little Red's ability wasn't as powerful as Luigi thought. However, it was still very useful in certain aspects.
For example, she could analyze the Hollow Men and decipher their corpses.
After being washed away by the Sea of Mirrors, many things about the Hollow Men were lost, including their memories and consciousness. Little Red, on the other hand, could use her special ability to pick up strange scents that ordinary people couldn't. By deciphering these scents, she might be able to find information about the Hollow Men.
