Pasha, an old scholar, was leaning against the window, smoking a pipe. Originally, he had quit smoking a long time ago, but due to the refugee crisis some time ago, he was robbed of many things and was frightened every day.
I was too anxious, so I started smoking again.
Recently, the war has calmed down and the refugees have been repatriated. My mood has improved and I am no longer anxious, but I can't stop smoking.
In the past, his old friend Dim would ask him to quit smoking, but after the last time... after the magical light rain created by Master Pat, most of the people in Gru Town had their hidden illnesses dispelled, so Dim
Mu also started smoking again.
Therefore, they are not trying to persuade anyone now.
While feeling the warmth from the stove and blowing out a puff of thick smoke, Parsha showed a happy expression.
This is how cozy it should be in the middle of winter!
While Parsha was enjoying his happiness, his eyes suddenly looked out the window.
The house was filled with smoke, and outside the window there was wind, dust, and snow. What he saw was not very clear, but he seemed to vaguely see a group of people from the corner of his eye?
Pasha frowned in confusion: "George has warned me many times, why do people still come out at night? It's already dark, and the weather is cold. Who would wander on the street?"
With doubts, Pasha put down his cigarette, breathed out at the window, and then wiped the fogged glass with his old sleeves.
When he looked out through the relatively clear glass, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Three people passed by outside. All three of them carried a strange aura, filling the sky with a strong sense of presence in the snowy dust.
"Why does one of them look a bit like Master Pat?" Pasha stood up, opened the door, and looked out onto the street.
But when he stretched out his head to distinguish them carefully, he found that the three people had already reached the end of the street, leaving only vague afterimages in the wind and snow.
"Did I see it wrong?" Parsha rubbed his temples, looked back and picked up the oil lamp placed next to the bedside table, preparing to follow him out to take a look.
However, just when Pasha was about to go out, a tiny figure suddenly jumped down from the ceiling, stepped on the wall, and landed on the table on the other side with the force of the counter-shock.
"Old Parsha, you can just smoke in the house. Anyway, we have planted trees to absorb the smoke, but you open the door at night, do you want to freeze us to death?" A delicate voice said dissatisfied.
Parsha turned back angrily: "Jin Cancan, how many times have I told you, don't follow Dim's example. You have to call me grandpa, understand? It's really no big deal."
Although there was complaint in his words, Parsha looked at the girl on the table who was no bigger than a palm and wearing a flower skirt with tenderness in her eyes.
Pasha looked outside to make sure no one noticed what was going on inside, and then closed the door: "Hurry up to the attic. It's so cold down there, so you don't have to worry about catching a cold."
Faced with Parsha's concern, Jin Cancan was embarrassed to yell any more: "I'm not asking you, why are you opening the door and holding an oil lamp? Are you preparing to go out? The leader of the Kumiao Miao tribe has warned you not to do it at night.
Go out, there is danger outside, why don't you believe it?"
"I know, I know." Pasha locked the door and said, "You keep saying it's dangerous outside, but what danger is there?"
Kumiaomiao is the leader of this group of people who call themselves the Kulakuka tribe. He was brought here by the Viscount himself half a month ago, and he lives in two groups in the attic of the Sheriff George and the Pasha family.
In the past half month of getting along, Pasha also loved these "goblins in the attic" very much. He probably lived alone all his life. When he got old, Pasha was very happy to have someone to keep him company, even if it was just to talk.
What's more, these attic goblins are also very considerate and help with household affairs. They are very trustworthy friends.
However, Parsha has several doubts about this group of new friends. First, this group of Kulakuka tribe seems to have been brought back by Master Pat. Now, he doesn’t know why the Viscount sent them out of Pat’s Manor; second, the Viscount sent them out of Pat’s Manor.
Second, the Kumiaomiao chief often told him not to go out at night as it would be dangerous. Even Sheriff George patrolled the streets every day during this period and told the townspeople not to go out at night. Why?
Parsha has asked these questions several times, but has not received a reply.
Every time I asked, all the Kulakuka people showed frightened expressions and no one spoke.
Now, he asked again, and Jin Cancan was the same. There was a trance in his eyes, and he just said: "Don't worry about this matter, curiosity will kill the cat."
After saying that, Jin Cancan was about to turn around and go upstairs.
At this time, Pasha sighed and said, "Didn't you just ask what I was doing when I opened the door? I just looked out the window and seemed to see Master Pat coming back, so I wanted to go out and confirm."
"Master Pat?" Jin Cancan suddenly paused, suddenly turned his head to look at Parsha, and asked anxiously: "Are you sure it's Master Pat? Where did he, he, he go?"
"I'm not sure, but there were indeed three people passing by on the street outside. One of them looked a lot like Master Pat." Palsha recalled: "Looking at their direction, they seemed to be walking towards the manor.
Already."
"Master Pat, the manor, the night... is terrible!" Jin Cancan muttered a few times, jumped down from the stairs suddenly, and came to Parsha's shoulder: "Quickly, open the door quickly, go and get Master Pat
stop!"
Pasha looked confused: "What happened?"
Jin Cancan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's very unsafe in the manor now."
…
Angel and others stopped dozens of meters outside the manor. In front of them was the boundary of blood light. For mortals, this layer of blood light could not be seen, but they could clearly feel it.
"Is the destination ahead? It looks a bit bleak." After knowing that he was about to see his relatives, Bai Xiong felt much calmer than before.
From his field of vision, there seemed to be shadows of buildings in Pat's Manor, but there was no light. On the contrary, there were more lights in Gru Town behind him.
Angel was sure that, at least when he left, Pat Manor at night was the brightest place in the entire Gru Town. Because of the family motto "The fire in the heart of a lion will never go out", all the street lights in the manor,
It is lit all night long, and if it goes out anywhere, the servants will immediately go to rekindle it.
Nowadays, the manor is dark and obviously abnormal.
Angel looked at Sanders.
Sanders' expression was very calm at this time, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his deep eyes were looking ahead, as if staring at a giant beast lurking in the darkness.
"Teacher, have you noticed anything?" Angel asked.
Sanders did not answer immediately, but pressed the brim of his hat and looked somewhere ahead.
Angel's eyes followed. It was a small tree outside the manor. Now it was covered with heavy snow and it didn't look very eye-catching... However, a gust of wind blew off some snow dust on the tree, which could be seen clearly.
I saw that the tree trunk was completely dark.
"A dead tree burned by fire?" Angel felt it, and it seemed that it was not natural fire. There were still some fluctuations of flame energy on the dead tree.
Because the elements of the old continent have almost disappeared, the flame fluctuations on this tree are very obvious.
"Who would come here to burn trees?" Angel looked suspicious.
Sanders said at this time: "It's not about burning trees, it's because someone has fought here."
There was a faint gleam in Sanders' eyes, as if he saw a battle that happened here not long ago from the thick layer of snow.
Could it be that Huis couldn't suppress Eureka and a fight broke out here? When Angel was thinking this, Sanders said: "It was a fight between two apprentices, both of whom were probably third-level apprentices."
."
A third-level apprentice? Angel's eyes flashed with confusion, why would a third-level apprentice appear here?
When Angel was confused, Sanders suddenly turned around and looked back at the way he came from.
At this time, a man came running up the road, whistling. He was a little old man holding a pipe. His pace was very slow, and he was puffing away as he ran.
"Wait, wait! Is that Master Pat in front of you?" came the shout.
The next second, a clear and sweet female voice suddenly said: "Didn't I tell you not to shout? Are you planning to kill us all?"
After a while, someone stood in front of them.
"Parsha, and..." Angel looked at the little girl wearing a floral skirt on Parsha's shoulder and saluting him respectfully: "Golden?"
"How did you get together?" Angel asked doubtfully.
"Great, it's really Master Pat!" Jin Cancan's eyes flashed with happiness, but he suddenly realized something in the next second and said quickly: "Master Pat, do you want to go back to the manor? Don't go in now, it's very dangerous
Danger!"
Angel and Sanders looked at each other, and he looked at Jin Cancan: "The manor is dangerous? Do you know anything?"
Jin Cancan nodded quickly: "It's Lady Eureka. Just half a month ago, she suddenly went crazy...that night..."
Jin Cancan suddenly took a deep breath, fear flashing in his eyes.
"That night, I saw many servants lying in a pool of blood. I heard from other people that even the Viscount was almost killed by her... Fortunately, Lord Huys arrived in time and restrained her.
Living."
When Jin Cancan said that many servants were lying in a pool of blood, Angel's expression became serious. And when she said that Leon was almost attacked, Angel's face turned dark instantly.
"Then, how is Leon's situation now?" Angel asked hurriedly.
"The Viscount is fine. He sent us out of the manor the next day, and some servants were also placed nearby. Only a few people were left in the manor, including the Viscount." See Angel.
With an expression getting darker and darker, Jin Cancan quickly said: "Master Pat, the Viscount came out a few days ago. According to what he said, with the protection of Lord Huys, he should be safe."
Should? Temporarily safe?
Angel would not allow these vague words. He nodded to Jin Cancan: "I understand. Grandpa Parsha, please go back first with Jin Cancan."
Panic flashed in Jin Cancan's eyes: "Master Pat, are you still planning to go in? Never, the Viscount said, night is the most dangerous time!"
"Don't worry, I know it well." Angel smiled at Jin Cancan, then looked at Sanders and asked if he wanted to go in now.
Only then did Jin Cancan notice Sanders on the other side. When he saw Sanders, her expression was stunned. She didn't know about the others, but she had seen Sanders before, and...
Babaya once said that Sanders is known as the God of War in the South and is a super powerful wizard!
Thinking of this, the golden heart finally began to slowly fall.
If it were Mr. Sanders, maybe he could really solve the crisis in Pat Manor.
On the other side, Angel was still waiting for Sanders to explain, but suddenly, Sanders turned his head and looked in the direction of the manor.
"She is coming."
Angel followed Sanders' gaze and saw a red light suddenly flashing deep in the manor.
