Beside the bed, Lale was carefully arranging the blanket for Oga. He had already fallen asleep.
When there was a soft knock on the door, Miss Maid pushed the door open and walked in. At the same time, she put down some clothes.
Lale took a look and opened her mouth.
This woman … changed another set of clothes. How many clothes does she have to change in one night?
After Miss Maid put down the clothes, she nodded with a smile and turned around to leave. She didn't say anything … Lale hesitated for a moment and quickly chased after her.
"Wait a minute …"
In front of the door, Lale gently closed the door and lowered her voice at the same time.
"What's the matter, Miss Lale?" You Ye asked indifferently.
"That … uh …" Lale stuttered for a moment and then said in a low voice, "That … thank you for letting us stay for the night …"
"If you want to thank us, shouldn't you thank us in person?"
Lale opened his mouth and looked up, only to see the servant girl's faint smile.
…
In the room, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Luoqiu's legs were covered with a thin blanket. There was only a light for reading beside him.
The book he was reading was prepared in the study room of the suite. It was a book about British folklore.
When You Ye brought Lale in, Boss Luo happened to see the story of Mordred's rebellion.
"Miss Lale, what's the matter?" Luoqiu closed the book and stood up. He casually put down the blanket.
"Miss Lale said that she wants to thank you in person, Master." You Ye came to Luoqiu's side and said softly.
He looked at the orc girl and found that the beast ears on her head were slightly trembling. She seemed to be very nervous, so he said, "Do you like to drink tea, Miss Lale?"
"Ah?"
Luoqiu smiled and said, "The tea made by Miss Maid is very delicious … You Ye."
As he said, Luoqiu casually snapped his fingers. On the small round table in the corner of the study room, a tea set quietly appeared … Lale was slightly surprised. What was more surprising was that she was familiar with this tea set — this was the tea set commonly used in the country where she was born.
"Fruit tea or black tea?" Miss Maid looked at Lale and asked with a smile, "There are many fresh fruits in the kitchen. There are also some freshly picked cherries."
"I … Black tea is fine!" Lale quickly waved her hand, "You don't need to trouble yourself, actually!"
"Please sit down, Miss Lale." Luo Qiu came to the table, pulled out a chair, and then made an inviting gesture.
Lale's steps a little bit … She had never been treated like this before. In other words, the people who took care of her and Oga on the farm were all casual and carefree people.
They would sing and dance in front of the bonfire. They would also drink heartily during the harvest season. The smell of hops would always spread in the night wind along with the fragrance of tulips.
"Are you … thinking of your family?"
Lale couldn't remember how she sat down and how she suddenly fell into her memories … But such a question brought her back to reality from her beautiful memories.
"I don't have a family." Lale said subconsciously, but then she bit her lips lightly, "I have no family except Oga."
As she said, she didn't forget to look at the beautiful woman who claimed to be a maid's way of making tea … It was really the way of her country.
"How many spoons of white sugar?"
"Four …"
Miss Maid clearly received such a request. She gently lifted the lace on her sleeve with her left hand and started to make sugar with her right hand … She suddenly felt that she was like an ugly duckling in a story in front of these two people.
"Have you thought about how to leave?"
Luoqiu's question temporarily interrupted Lale's wild thoughts. She quickly said, "Tomorrow morning, I will take Oga and leave here. I will definitely not give you any more trouble …"
"I have said that I have already received the reward for finding your brother." Luoqiu had always been very patient. He patiently said, "Do you still remember the contract you signed? It has already returned to me. And your lifespan has also been reduced by one month … Of course, you are still young, so you don't feel anything. I heard that orcs have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, so you probably don't feel anything. "
Lale subconsciously said, "I am a mixed-blood. My lifespan is about the same as ordinary people …"
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it … Would the other party be curious and ask about her background? How was she supposed to answer him?
"If you want to leave, it seems to be a little troublesome for Miss Lale." Luoqiu didn't ask further. Instead, he thought and said, "You were caught by orc traffickers. You don't have any identification with you, so you might not be able to use normal means of transportation."
Lale immediately heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said, "It's okay. We can sneak into the carriage of the train to load goods. This way, we don't have to go through so many troublesome checks. We used to … Mm."
She quickly pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Luoqiu thought for a while. He opened his palm and a document appeared. There was also a mobile phone — he pushed these things in front of Lale. "This is the schedule of the train going through the undersea tunnel tomorrow. In addition, this mobile phone has a translation software. I hope it will be of some help to Miss Lale on your return journey. "
Lale had already experienced the pain of not being able to speak — She knew about the modern technology and also thought about the translation problem of the mobile phone. However, she was penniless. If she really wanted to get these things in this strange foreign country, she would probably have to resort to illegal means or robbing.
The information and the mobile phone had undoubtedly helped her a lot. She was already used to the mysterious magician's ability to make things appear out of thin air. Anyway, she had heard rumors about magicians since she was a child. They were all magicians who had various magical powers.
"Why …"
Luoqiu said, "You can take it as … a little self-satisfaction."
…
She didn't remember how she walked out of the study room. She only remembered that the magician's smile was very gentle and the maid's black tea was very fragrant.
In the room, Ojia was still sleeping soundly.
Lale sat at the bedside. Although she was exhausted to the extreme, she still cheered up. She began to look at the documents and mobile phone in her hands, planning to leave tomorrow.
…
In the study room, Luoqiu returned to the place where he started to read. Miss Maid sat on his lap on the carpet like a cat, lying on his lap.
The skirt was loose and round, like a rose.
"Master, are we just going to let them go like this?" Miss Maid raised her head.
Luoqiu looked down and touched her face with his fingers, "Before leaving, I wrote a sentence to myself … I'm thinking, in a short period of time, if it's not irresistible, I'll try my best to … do something that may be unprofitable to pass this stage temporarily."
As he said, he raised his left hand … There was a string of agarwood Buddha beads on his wrist.
"Similar to relief?"
Luoqiu smiled and raised Miss Maid's chin, "Don't enterprises also do charity?"
"Self-satisfaction?" Miss Maid's eyes were full of tears.
"Self-realization." Luoqiu lowered his head. He started to like the feeling of touching this pair of lips.
After a long time, when they separated, Luoqiu said softly, "When I'm ready … I'll help you get your body back in heaven."
"Okay …"
…
…
On the island, an armed helicopter slowly landed.
The wind blew the people who were directing the landing, their clothes fluttered … Finally, the helicopter landed and the cabin door opened. A charming woman wearing a purple dress walked down.
She was only one person … the Spirit Witch, Ji Lian.
At the same time, more than ten men with guns came from all directions — The muzzles of these guns were undoubtedly pointed at the Spirit Witch.
"I'm just a visitor, can't I be treated with courtesy?" Ji Lian let out a soft sigh.
At this moment, a brown-haired man in a white suit and sunglasses slowly walked over from behind the gun-wielding man. "We're facing a Soul Witch ranked fifth on the Magician Association's Witch Wanted List. I think we're being polite enough … Madam Ji Lian."
"Can I say that this ranking is so high because I was falsely accused?" The witch covered her mouth and chuckled.
The man in white said indifferently, "Ms. Ji Lian, according to Sir Hopkins's instructions, you only have 20 minutes of visiting time … After 20 minutes, no matter if you come out or not, we will close the entrance of the prison. Please watch the time."
The witch smiled and said, "He is known as the most powerful Grand Knight below the Twelve Knights, and he was also born blind. It can be said that he is my nemesis. Am I really that unpopular with Mister Lino?"
"Please." The man in white … Lino moved to the side.
At this time, the men with guns also separated into two rows to let the lady pass … She raised her head and looked in front of her. On the small hill of the island, there was a castle built with ancient stone.
Ji Lian walked gracefully like a Persian cat, a violet perfume smell was carried by the wind. She wanted to walk to the castle on the hill and whispered:
— The spacious gate stood majestically,
— The pillars of solid stone pierced the sky,
— Heavenly power was as insignificant as human strength,
— How could a huge building be regarded as a collapsed nest?
— The fortress of steel was majestic and lofty.
"What are you talking about?" Among the men with guns, one of them seemed to be in a state of extreme tension. At this time, he shouted loudly and his finger on the trigger was almost pressed down.
Mr. Lino stretched out his hand and pressed it down. Although he was born blind, in contrast, his other senses were far superior to ordinary people.
"This is one of the passages in 'Edinburgh Prison'. The character Butler chanted at the prison gate when he was rejected for visiting." Lino said indifferently, "It's not a spell."
"Hmm … Mr. Lino is also a sentimental person."
The witch looked back and smiled. As she smiled, the man who shouted at her to stop suddenly screamed in horror. He even dropped the weapon in his hand in panic and screamed, "Snake!! Snake!! "
Not only was he shocked, but at this moment, he seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing, and his whole person was in a state of uncontrollable state.
Great Knight Lino frowned and hit the back of the man's neck with his hand, knocking him out on the ground. At the same time, he looked at the witch and said indifferently, "Madam Ji Lian, I don't mind including your travel time into the visiting time … if you like to stay here."
"I want to take back my compliment."
The witch turned and set off again, but this time, her pace was slightly faster.
From the helipad to the castle on the hill, it only took them about half an hour to walk to the castle.
At this moment, Lino took out a key from a necklace around his neck. He walked to the castle gate and inserted the key into the hole in the center of the gate.
The ancient gate then slowly descended … at the entrance, it was pitch black.
"Remember, you only have twenty minutes. That person, at this time, if there are no accidents, he should be on the east wing of the tower … go. "
"I strongly request that these twenty minutes start from the moment we meet, and not from the moment I step in here." Madam Ji Lian's voice suddenly became calm.
Lino acted as if he did not hear her. He waved his hand, and a subordinate took out an electronic timer. After Lino said 'start', he pressed the timer button.
"What a boring and heartless man." The witch looked at him bitterly, then lifted her skirt and walked into the castle gate.
Lino closed the gate of the castle once again and stood in front of the gate.
He took a deep breath and clenched his fists … as if he was holding a sword. He stood there with a serious expression on his face.
"This is the first time I've seen Mister Lino so serious …"
The subordinates whispered to each other.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, the person locked inside is the one who paralyzed almost all the Round Table mechanisms in Great Britain a hundred years ago. He even killed five of the twelve Round Table members. He's the fiercest and most evil knight in history …"
"Can someone really live for so long?"
"I want to say that he's cursed …"
…
On the spiral staircase, Madam Ji Lian held an oil lamp in her hand and walked up step by step … this spiral staircase had no end and no one could see behind her. Only the light of the lamp shone in the darkness.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, Madam Witch reached the top of the tower … the door in front of her was ajar and was not locked.
She pushed it open.
In the room, there was only the orange light of the candle … the light and shadow swayed along with the flickering of the candle. On the bluestone wall, there was a shadow.
Ji Lian took a deep breath and looked at the shadow on the wall. She was stunned for a moment before she turned to look at the shadow's body.
At the only window of the room in the tower.
She saw a black-haired man sitting on the windowsill. His hair was long and black, almost reaching the ground. His hands and feet were shackled at the same time.
He was holding a small book in his hand. Apparently, before Madam Witch came, he was reading under the light and was still immersed in the world of the book.
He heard the sound, so he raised his head … it seemed.
Under the candlelight and moonlight, a pale face that was as thin as a patient with terminal anorexia appeared in front of Madam Witch.
She opened her mouth and called out softly, "Mordred."
