Long Du sat under a rock outside the monastery.
The young man in white had entered the monastery for longer than he had expected. So far, he hadn't heard anything … But he wasn't worried. He was worried about something else.
A few ants appeared on his body.
The ant had drilled out from a crack in the ground and slowly crawled all the way until it finally crawled onto his body … and crawled onto his cheek.
He was guessing when these ants would open their sharp teeth and bite down.
When they bit him, he would have a reason to slap them down … More importantly, it would be enough to trample them to death.
A slight prickling sensation came out of nowhere. Without saying a word, Langdo slapped himself in the face. At that moment, the door of the monastery slowly opened.
Slap —!
The ants weren't hit. They fell to the ground. Long Du didn't have time to care about the ants. He hurried forward to welcome the young man in white.
Only the young man in white walked out of the door … The one in the monastery didn't seem to want to show up.
"Don't look," the young man in white said indifferently, "She can't leave this place easily."
Long Du nodded. He knew some things, but he didn't know why they were like this … It wasn't something he could handle.
When he was about to leave, he saw a figure in the attic of the monastery.
Long Du turned around instinctively and saw the nun standing in the attic, waving a handkerchief in her hand as if she was saying, "Come here often."
Long Du shook his head, trying to get rid of this scene from his mind. He looked at the young man in white and asked in a low voice, "My Lord, you've done what you asked."
"You can say yes or no." The young man in white shook his head and said, "Let's go to the City of Dawn now."
Long Du nodded. He didn't forget the purpose of this trip — to find out the truth behind the production of the illegal drugs.
The young man in white stroked his chest. The words of the nun before he left still rang in his ears.
— Mi 'er, I'll give you a mark of the Goddess. It should be able to expel the strange power hidden in you!
— If it still can't be expelled … then you deserve to vomit blood.
— — But I can't make up for the blood you spat out. You have to eat more to replenish your blood!
Also, don't try to influence other people's wives and daughters again!
'You have to influence her husband first. You've already influenced the head of the family, so how far are you from influencing the entire family?' The most important thing for a family was to be complete!
What a nagging fellow!
The white-clothed youth thought.
However, the loss of thirty percent of the Origin Source due to the second round of coughing up blood was not something that could be easily replenished. At the very least, the World Sources of ten sub-worlds would have to be extracted before it could be barely replenished.
Could it be … that something had happened to Dongremi Village?
His heart suddenly stirred. This was a thought that came to him on a whim.
…
…
…
…
Shortly after dawn, Nan Xiaonan and Mr. Assaches returned with the news of Levi's disappearance. This directly dampened Mr. Assaches' joy when he saw Boss Luo return safely.
"Good news and bad news come one after another. I can't rest."
"By the way, Mr. Jacques invited us to stay in his house temporarily. When we meet later, I'm afraid that Mr. Jacques will have to add Leval's name to the search list … Hmm, what I mean is, shouldn't we bring something when we visit him? It would be more appropriate."
"Mr. Assaches, what do you think is suitable?" Nan Xiaonan asked casually.
Although she was asking, she secretly and suspiciously glanced at Boss Luo and Miss Assaches … She wondered if these two guys did anything strange before she and Mr. Assaches came back.
It was totally possible.
After all, Ludic and the male assistant were unconscious … As for the maid, K er Lili.
"K er Lili! The sun is shining on your butt. Wake up! "Nan Xiaonan directly pushed the maid who was lying on her stomach and snoring.
"Ah? It's dawn! Oh no! Oh no! I'm going to wipe the signboard! I don't want to have my salary deducted … Eh? "The maid woke up and looked around in a daze.
She was surrounded by people who looked at her.
Mr. Arthashis rolled his eyes and pointed at his own lips … Only then did Ke Lili awkwardly wipe away the traces of water at the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the guest house.
A young man with super short hair pushed the door and entered, "Hello, my name is Bertrand. I'm Mr. Jacques' subordinate. I came here according to Mr. Jacques' order to take you to his house … If you have any luggage, I can do it for you!"
"Bertrand, sir."
Miss Servant Girl suddenly shouted.
The young man was a little surprised at this time. He didn't know why this beautiful lady called his name directly … He calmed down and said calmly, "Yes, I'm Bertrand. Miss, how can I help you? "
"Nothing." Miss Maid chuckled, "I just want to remember Mr. Bertrand's name to strengthen my memory."
"I see …" Although the young Bertrand was a little confused, he quickly nodded. He looked at everyone and said, "Well, it's getting late. Please follow me. Mr. Jacques has already asked someone to start preparing lunch. He will personally receive all of you."
"We have two patients here," Mr. Assaches suddenly said.
Bertrand said, "This must be Mr. Assaches! Please rest assured, Mr. Jacques has already ordered, so I also brought a few people and transportation tools. "
"Mr. Bertrand is very careful," Miss Maid said with a smile.
Bertrand just smiled politely as a response.
Soon, after some packing, Ludic and the male assistant were moved to a wooden cart used for transporting goods — it was pushed by people.
Boss Luo and others, led by the young Bertrand, walked to Mr. Jacques' residence in the village.
"So … Although Mr. Jacques is the owner of a farm, the farm doesn't look big? He's not a noble, so how can he have so much wealth? Not only did he build a big house in the village, but he also built the [Rose Mansion] on the other side of the forest? "
Nan Xiaonan suddenly lowered her voice at this time so that her voice could be heard by everyone.
In fact, the strangest thing was the [Rose Mansion].
[Rose Mansion] was in the [Free City]. After coming to Remi's village, it still existed — but it was built by Mr. Jacques.
Moreover, everyone in the village knew about this.
"You don't know?" Bertrand turned around and looked at everyone curiously.
Nan Xiaonan blinked as if she didn't care that Bertrand heard her words. She said, "Mr. Bertrand, as foreigners, what do you think we know?"
"You're right." Bertrand nodded and then said, "Actually, this is because …"
Bertrand's voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at the road outside the village. Then, he frowned slightly.
Everyone looked over because of Bertrand's action.
Not far away, dust rose, and they saw a group of cavalrymen riding their horses quickly!
"What's going on … Are the Burgundian cavalrymen here again?" K Er Lili subconsciously grabbed Assaches's arm.
"It's not the Burgundian cavalrymen!" Bertrand's serious expression suddenly disappeared, and then he showed a touch of joy. "Do you see the flag they are holding high? That's the flag of the royal family. I can't be wrong. That's the royal emblem! "
You can't be wrong … How can a villager in a remote village recognize the royal family's flag?
Nan Xiaonan immediately narrowed her eyes, but seeing that the boss and the servant girl didn't change their expressions, she didn't mention it. She just thought for a while and said, "This group of cavalrymen seems to be heading towards … Mr. Jacques' big house?"
"Yes, that's the direction to Mr. Jacques' house." Bertrand nodded, and then he said quickly, "Maybe something big happened. Everyone … Let's speed up!"
For the rest of the journey, Bertrand looked anxious and didn't say anything. He took a short time to finish the rest of the journey and led the group to Mr. Jacques' big house.
At this time, the group of cavalrymen holding the royal flag had already stopped in front of Mr. Jacques's mansion … When Bertrand led everyone in, they saw that Mr. Jacques had already led people to greet this group of cavalrymen in front of the door.
…
…
Mr. Jacques noticed that Bertrand brought a few foreigners back, and he also saw the brave young man who saved him in the house. After giving Boss Luo a kind look, Mr. Jacques waved his hand quietly to let Bertrand take the guests to rest first.
"Who are those people?"
A man in his thirties in the cavalrymen asked in a deep voice. The man was the leader of the cavalrymen, and he called himself York. In the Kingdom, he had the title of Baron.
Mr. Jacques said calmly, "They are the workers of my family's farm. I called them to come and do some groceries."
Baron York nodded casually and didn't care too much. Then he walked into the big house under Mr. Jacques' greeting.
Baron York only brought two cavalrymen with him as his personal guards. The rest of the cavalrymen were standing outside the mansion. These cavalrymen were scattered around the mansion as if they were standing guard.
In the hall, the maid served tea and then left with her head bowed. The maid just closed the door of the room where Mr. Jacques received guests, and suddenly she was shocked.
"Miss … Miss, what's wrong with you?!"
"Shh! Don't talk! The kitchen seems to be calling you. Go and see … Here, I'll take care of it. "
"… Okay." The maid sighed and said, "Miss, it's up to you. I can't take care of it this time."
"You're too naggy!" The girl stared at the maid, and then said, "Remember to let the kitchen make lunch more sumptuous … We have to entertain guests at noon."
The maid nodded and said, "I know, I won't neglect these cavalrymen … Baron, there is a Baron here! Why would he come to such a remote place like ours! Really, will he take a fancy to our food here? I'm so worried! "
"Who said to prepare food for these cavalrymen!" The girl snorted.
The maid was startled and said suspiciously, "Not these cavalrymen … Oh, I know, miss, you mean those foreigners?"
"Go and do your work!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go now." The maid rolled her eyes, and then directly put the tray of tea in the girl's hand, "Then, I'll leave this place to you, Miss Jenna."
Who's the master here?
The girl couldn't help but roll her eyes at this time … If it weren't for the fact that she had been taking care of Zhang Da since he was young, her salary would be deducted!
Watching the maid leave, the girl's eyes suddenly turned. She suddenly thought of a good idea. She hurriedly ran to the servant's room and changed into a set of maid's clothes.
…
In the reception room, Mr. Jacques was sitting upright … … Baron York was a bit more casual. As for the two cavalrymen who followed him into the room, they were standing behind Baron York, looking straight ahead.
"Although this is a remote place, the decoration here is quite elegant." Baron York chuckled, "As expected of a man from the capital, after so many years, your taste hasn't been left behind by these rural people."
"I don't know why Baron York is here this time." Mr. Jacques said indifferently, "If it's for business, I think I should recommend you to see our village chief, Mr. Charles."
"I'm here to see you." Baron York said directly, "I'm here on His Majesty's order. Just this morning, the Royal Family's urgent document was sent to me through the church's channel in the shortest time possible. Then, it took me six hours to travel through the night and come here."
"The Royal Family?" Mr. Jacques frowned, as if he had fallen into a huge question because of this news, "Why is the Royal Family … looking for me?"
Baron York said, "Last night, the kingdom's Grand Priest, Tianqi, prophesied that a [Saint] would appear in the distant village of Domremi. At first, I didn't believe it, but I could see the pillar of light soaring into the sky and the strange phenomenon in the sky at night, so I believed it."
"Grand Priest!" Mr. Jacques took a deep breath, "Did he really say that?"
"Of course I can't hear it from the Grand Priest himself." Baron York said indifferently, "But this was written in His Majesty's urgent document, do you think it's fake?"
Mr. Jacques shook his head and asked tentatively, "If that's the case, Mr. Baron, you can go to the village chief. The village chief obviously knows more about the affairs in the village than I do. "
"I can't help it." Baron York crossed his arms and leaned back. He looked at Mr. Jacques and said with a faint smile, "In the Grand Priest's words, the new [Saint] came from your family … If I don't look for you, who else can I look for?"
"How is this possible?" Mr. Jacques was shocked, "How can a person like me be favored by the Royal Family?"
Baron York said, "Mr. Jacques, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I'm here to bring the new [Saint] back. This is the Royal Family's order. I don't think you'll disobey the Royal Family's order … The one who abducted Princess Isabelle is a sinful man, Jacques Darc."
Clang.
In front of the reception room, a short-haired maid knocked over the tea and snacks … The short-haired maid opened her mouth slightly and looked at Baron York in disbelief.
Seeing this, Mr. Jacques immediately shouted angrily, "Who let you in! You have no manners at all! Is this how I usually teach you? From now on, you don't have to work here anymore. Get out! "
"I …" The short-haired maid seemed to be scared silly and froze.
"Didn't you hear me? I told you to get out! "Mr. Jacques roared," What a trash! I should've watched you being taken away by the Burgundians instead of redeeming you. What a waste of my food … Get out! Don't let me see your face again! "
The short-haired maid was terrified. She opened her mouth, lowered her head, and rushed out while covering her face.
"She's just an insensible maid. Mr. Jacques, do you have to be angry?" Baron York smiled amusedly, "Or, Mr. Jacques lost his composure because of what I said just now … You don't have to worry. This matter has passed for a long time, and no one mentioned it. Probably no one can remember the name Jacques Darc. "
Mr. Jacques sighed slowly at this time, then smiled and said, "So, Baron York … I actually don't know what you're talking about."
