At a banquet, human wizards and high-grade living corpses add up to 40 or 50. Some living corpses are really not small, which crowded the long table. In this case, one more person and one less person are obviously insignificant. In addition, John has found a good reason before leaving the table. At present, everyone basically has their own worries. Really, not many people care whether he is present or not.
Well, that's probably what John wanted... Well, at least he must have thought before he left.
However, after a trip to the backyard, the low-key and clumsy psychology that had only hoped not to be paid too much attention to by the corpse owner no longer exists.
"Master."
John was led back to the restaurant by the "splicer" of the corpse lady. When the two appeared at the door of the side hall, the latter did not take care of the male human behind him. He stepped up his pace, came to the side of the long table, and respectfully greeted the master who sat steadily on the master's seat.
Not far away, the Lord of the corpse glanced at John, who was still walking slowly to his original seat, and then waved his hand and said:
"Come? Sit down! You are the favorite food in the family. There are a lot of good things today. Let's have something to eat!"
"Yes."
She answered. Then she went to the end of the long table, found a seat where no one was sitting, and sat down silently.
In fact, the long table is still not very lively, or in fact, it has not been lively since John left. Just after a while, Ginny and others' mood has also recovered a little, and everyone has started chatting in a low voice again.
Unfortunately, John was not familiar with them, and now he was full of things in his heart. Of course, it was impossible to talk with others. A moment later, he seemed to have made some decisions, and suddenly turned his head and looked at the Lord of the living corpse he was most reluctant to face.
"Squeak -"
The movement of the chair feet sliding across the floor sounded a little harsh, which also led Hermione and others to stop the conversation between them again, and turned to John who stood up again.
"Sir, as far as I know these days, you are obviously the leader of the living corpse family - I almost died in Colchester a few days ago. Thanks to miss white night who saved my life, so... Anyway, I want to use this glass of wine to express my gratitude to miss white night and you."
John took up his goblet and said these words with a sullen face and very seriously. Then, before waiting for the reaction of the Lord of the corpse or the day and night, he leaned to his mouth and drank.
During the banquet, the white night subconsciously looked at the host first. Seeing that the other party had no action, her fingers that had reached next to the cup also retracted.
John, who had put down his glass but still stood there, seemed to have expected all this and showed no surprise.
In addition, Hermione and other people here have naturally noticed the motionless and noncommittal posture of the tall figure, but neither the Lord of the corpse nor John Stewart himself seems to care. They naturally choose to wait and see the change before the topic is revealed.
So everyone saw that John really spoke again.
"Sir, please forgive me for wandering around the palace without authorization these days... Including just now. Although I have never found anyone watching, I believe you can still know my actions these days. But since you allow my actions, I don't know if you can help me Answer it? "
The voice gradually settled, but there was still no voice other than John in the quiet restaurant. John, standing at the table, waited for a moment. Seeing that the other party still didn't speak, he quietly clenched his teeth and simply continued:
"Since you don't speak, I have the courage to agree with you... In fact, I have only one question now - who is missing in the new cemetery in the backyard?"
After John asked this, there was another silence of more than ten seconds. John didn't move, so he looked straight at the strong figure at one end of the long table, and his lips gradually turned white because of his strength.
Finally, he waited for the opening of the Lord of the living corpse on the throne.
"I thought you would ask me for the debt of more than 20 lives first!" said the tall figure faintly.
On the other side, John shook his head when he heard the speech.
"Every one of them was ready to die here before they set foot on this land. Although this is not suitable for me, it doesn't seem to be an accident to die in the hands of a living corpse - although I am sad and... Hate, before that, I would like to know the current situation of the teammate who was lucky to survive like me 。”
Should they die? Of course not. John's words had clearly expressed his thoughts, and he wanted to be able to confirm where the companion who might still be alive was now? And whether everything is all right.
The family task is naturally important, but he still wants to see another team member other than himself or appear in front of him rather than whether he can complete the task and return to the "workshop".
But before long, John saw that the Lord of the corpse raised his hand slightly and motioned to one side of the long table.
"The first half of this question, let her answer you!"
Following each other's arms, John slowly looked at Sarah, who looked just like a little girl, sitting in the seat diagonally opposite him.
To tell you the truth, Sarah's appearance is really special. If she was put outside, John probably wouldn't pay attention to such a girl in her early teens at most. But here, on the contrary, it is the most eye-catching existence except those living corpses with different descriptions.
How could anyone sitting on this long table be just an ordinary little girl?
"Little... Sister?"
"My name is Sarah, Sarah von hornheim, maybe you know me." Sarah looked at the Lord of the living corpse, looked at Hermione, Harry and others who looked at her head, and finally looked at John opposite, "As for those people in your 'stonemason workshop', I did confirm their identity once before. Of course, I can't name all your companions. I only know that a male wizard with blonde hair, brown pupils, medium build, wearing an old windbreaker and a gold chain that seems to be a pocket watch on his chest seems to have left the place where you were confronted at the last moment In the street of fighting, I retreated into an alley - I didn't see where he went after seeing him in the memory clips of your companions, so I don't know more. "
