Parxia, an old scholar, was leaning against the window, smoking with a cigarette gun. Originally, he quit smoking very early, but he was robbed of a lot of things because of the refugee crisis some time ago. He was afraid and anxious every day, so he smoked again.
Recently, the war has subsided. The refugees were repatriated, and their mood cleared up. They were not anxious, but they couldn't quit smoking.
In the past, his old friend Tim would ask him to quit smoking, but after the magical light and rain created by master pat last time, most of the people in Gru town had been dispelled, so Tim started smoking again.
So they don't persuade anyone now.
While feeling the warmth from the fire stove and spitting out a thick smoke, parxia showed a comfortable expression.
In winter, it should be so pleasant!
While parxia was enjoying himself, his eyes suddenly looked out of the window.
Smoke swirled in the house and wind, dust and snow rolled out the window. He didn't really see it, but he seemed to see a group of people in the afterlight?
Parxia frowned suspiciously: "George has warned many times. Why do people come out at night? And it's late at night and the weather is cold. Who will wander in the street?"
With doubt, parxia put down his cigarette gun, took a breath at the window, and then wiped the foggy glass with his old sleeve.
When he looked out through the relatively clear glass, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Three people passed by outside, all with a strange aura, full of a strong sense of existence in the snow and dust.
"Why does one of them look a little like master pat?" Parxia got up, pushed open the gate and looked out of the street.
But when he stretched out his head and wanted to identify it carefully, he found that the three had reached the end of the street, leaving only a faint shadow in the wind and snow.
"Am I wrong?" Parxia rubbed his temples, looked back, picked up the oil lamp beside the bed cabinet, and was ready to go out with him.
However, just as parxia was about to go out, a tiny figure suddenly jumped down from the ceiling, trampled on the wall, and fell on the table on the other side by the force of anti earthquake.
"Old man parxia, you just smoke in the house. Anyway, we planted smoke absorbing trees, but do you want to freeze us when you open the door at night?" A charming voice complained.
Parxia turned back unhappily: "Jin cancan, how many times have I said, don't follow Tim. Call me Grandpa, okay? It's really not big or small."
Although there was a complaint in his words, parxia looked at the table with tenderness in his eyes, a girl less than the size of a palm and wearing a flower skirt.
Parxia looked out and made sure that no one had noticed the situation inside. Then he closed the door: "hurry to the attic. It's so cold below. I'm not afraid of catching a cold."
In the face of parxia's concern, Jin cancan is embarrassed to yell again: "I'm not asking you why you open the door and hold an oil lamp. You're ready to go out? The head of the Miao and Miao nationality has warned you not to go out at night. There's danger outside. Why don't you believe it."
"I know, I know." Parxia locked the door by the way. "You always say it's dangerous outside. What's the danger?"
Kumiaomiao is the patriarch of this group of people who call themselves kulakuka people. Half a month ago, he was personally brought by the viscount and lived in the attics of Sheriff George and parxia in two batches.
After half a month together, parxia also loved these "goblins in the attic". He probably lived alone all his life. He was old and could be accompanied. Even if he just talked, parxia was very happy. What's more, these attic goblins are also very considerate and help deal with family affairs. They are very trustworthy friends.
However, parxia had several doubts about this group of new friends. First, it seems that this group of kulakuka people were brought back by master pat. Now, he doesn't know why the Viscount sent them out of Pat's manor; Second, the head of kumiao often told him not to go out at night, which would be dangerous. Even the security officer George also patrolled the streets every day during this period, telling the villagers not to go out at night. Why?
Parxia had asked these questions several times, but he didn't get a reply.
When asked, all the kulakuka people showed frightened expressions and did not speak.
Now, he asks again, and Jin cancan is the same. With a trance in his eyes, he just said, "leave it alone. Curiosity will kill the cat."
After that, Jin cancan is ready to turn and go upstairs.
At this time, parxia sighed and said, "didn't you ask what I did when I opened the door? I looked out of the window just now. It seemed that I saw master pat coming back. I wanted to go out and confirm."
"Master pat?" Jin cancan suddenly stops, suddenly turns his head to parxia and asks anxiously, "are you sure it's master pat? He, where is he going?"
"I'm not sure, but there are three people passing through the street outside. One of them looks like master pat." Parxia recalled, "looking at their direction, it seems that they are walking in the direction of the manor."
"Master pat, manor, night... Terrible!" Jin cancan said a few words, jumped down the stairs and came to parxia's shoulder: "come on, open the door and stop master pat!"
Parxia looked puzzled: "what happened?"
Jin cancan hesitated for a moment and said, "in the manor, it's very unsafe now."
……
Angel and others stopped dozens of meters outside the manor, with the boundary of blood light in front. For ordinary people, they can't see the blood light, but they can feel it clearly.
"Is the destination ahead? It looks a little dim." When the white bear knew that he was about to see his relatives, he was much calmer than before.
From his perspective, there seemed to be architectural shadows in pat manor, but there was no light. On the contrary, the town of gro behind him was more brightly lit.
Angel can be sure that at least when he leaves, pat manor under the night is the brightest place in the whole Gru town. Because of the national motto "the fire of the lion heart will never go out", all the street lights in the manor are bright all night. If there is any going out, the servants will go to burn it up at the first time.
Now the manor is dark, which is obviously abnormal.
Angel looked at Sanders.
Sanders' expression was very calm at this time, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his deep pupils looked ahead, as if staring at the giant beast hidden in the dark.
"Mentor, have you found anything?" Asked angel.
Instead of answering immediately, Sanders pressed the brim of his hat and looked somewhere ahead.
Angel's eyes then saw that it was a small tree outside the manor. Now it was covered with heavy snow and looked insignificant... However, a gust of wind blew down some snow dust on the tree, and it was clear that the trunk was dark.
"Dead trees burned by fire?" Angel felt it. It seemed that it was not the fire of nature. There were still some fluctuations of flame energy on the dead tree.
Because the old earth elements almost disappeared, it made the flame fluctuation on the tree very obvious.
"Who will burn trees here?" Angel looked suspicious.
Sanders said, "it's not burning trees, it's someone who fought here."
There was a faint clear light in Sanders' eyes. It seemed that from the thick snow layer, he saw a battle here not long ago.
Could it be that xiuys could not suppress Eureka and there was a battle here? When Angel thought so, Sanders said, "it's the battle of two apprentices, probably the strength of level three apprentices."
Tertiary apprenticeship? Angel's eyes flashed confused. How could there be a level three apprentice here?
When angel was wondering, Sanders suddenly turned around and looked at the way behind him.
At this time, a man was running along the way. It was a little old man with a cigarette gun. His pace was very slow. He was still breathing white gas while running.
"Wait, wait! Is master pat ahead?" A cry came.
The next second, a crisp and pleasant female voice suddenly said, "didn't you say, don't shout? Are you going to kill us all?"
After a while, someone stood in front of them.
"Parxia, and..." angel looked at the little spot on parxia's shoulder wearing a flower skirt and saluting him respectfully: "Jin cancan?"
"How did you come together?" Angel wondered.
"Great, it's really master pat!" Jin cancan's eyes flashed with happiness, but the next second he suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, "master pat, are you going back to the manor? Don't go in now, it's dangerous!"
Angel and Sanders glanced at each other. He looked at Jin cancan: "the manor is very dangerous? Do you know anything?"
Jin cancan quickly nods: "it's Lord Eureka. Just half a month ago, she suddenly went crazy... That night..."
Jin cancan suddenly takes a deep breath, and her eyes flicker with fear.
"That night, I saw many servants lying in a pool of blood. I heard others say that even the Viscount was almost killed by her... Fortunately, Lord xiuis arrived in time to control her."
When Jin cancan said that many servants were lying in a pool of blood, angel's expression became serious. When she said that Leon was almost attacked, angel's face turned black.
"And what about Lyon?" Angel asked hurriedly.
"The Viscount is fine. He sent us out of the manor the next day, and some servants were placed nearby. There were only some people left in the manor, including the viscount." Seeing angel's expression getting darker and darker, Jin cancan hurriedly said, "master pat, Lord Viscount came out a few days ago. According to him, it should be safe to be sheltered by Lord xiuis."
should? Temporarily safe?
Angel would not allow these vague words. He nodded to Jin cancan: "I see. Grandpa parxia, take Jin cancan back first."
Jin cancan's eyes flashed panic: "master pat, are you still going in? Don't, Lord Viscount said that night is the most dangerous time!"
"Don't worry, I know." Angel smiled at Jin cancan, then looked at sanders and asked if he wanted to go in now.
Jin cancan also noticed that Sanders on the other side. When he saw Sanders, her expression was stunned. She didn't know other people, but she had seen Sanders. Moreover, Barbara once said that Sanders was known as the God of war in the southern region and was a super powerful wizard!
Thinking of this, jincancan's heart finally began to slow down.
If it were Lord Sanders, perhaps it could really solve the crisis of Pat manor.
On the other hand, angel was still waiting for sanders to say, but suddenly Sanders turned and looked in the direction of the manor.
"Here she is."
Angel looked with Sanders, but saw a red light in the depths of the manor.
