Chapter 2255: Comparison and Crow's Nest

~10 min read 1,810 words

And Tifa only met Miss Ilayse for the first time when she came to ask Xia De about the requirements for the quilt.

When the two girls, both with quite good figures, stood together, Angelina noticed that everyone present seemed to be comparing who was more "powerful."

Even the black-haired maid and the blue-eyed girl themselves realized the thoughts of the people around them. They also looked at each other, but in the end, it was clear that Tifa Servet, who was an ordinary human, was slightly better.

So before resting that night, Angelina pulled the embarrassed Amelia and found Tifa in the corridor who was pushing the dining car with the maids, preparing to send a midnight snack to Xia De's room. Of course, this naturally included Little Mia's portion.

"Miss Servet, can we talk alone?"

"Of course, Your Highness."

The gentle maid-in-chief greeted softly, then signaled the others to leave first.

After confirming that the dining car had gone far, Angelina asked embarrassedly:

"Um... Miss Servet, what is the secret to having a good figure?"

Amelia on the side also listened with pricked ears, so the gentle maid-in-chief said with a smile:

"Of course it's enough sleep. Your Highness, and Miss Sianode, it's so late, you should go to bed and rest."

Angelina was obviously dissatisfied with this answer:

"Enough sleep, drink more milk, pay attention to exercise... My sister also said this to me, but this is obviously not enough."

She shook her head in disappointment, pulled the embarrassed Amelia and prepared to go back to rest. Their rooms were very close. Amelia thanked Tifa very politely, and the little unicorn that ran over from the corner to find Amelia also noticed Tifa at this time.

The gentle maid smiled gently and waved at it, so the ignorant little beast actually walked toward her, and didn't dodge at all when touched by her.

Not only Little Mia, but Tifa's affinity was obviously also useful for unicorns. Angelina envied this ability, but according to Lei Qianya:

"This is probably something you can't learn."

The little unicorn also quickly left with Amelia and Angelina. Tifa originally wanted to chase the dining car, but just after turning the corridor corner, she saw someone waiting for her.

Also wearing a black and white maid dress, but in fact, the attire of the Northern maids and the Southern maids was still somewhat different. Although Xia De called the blonde maid-in-chief of the manor "Miss Matilda," it was clear that Xia De, who didn't understand the Southern naming rules very well, hadn't realized that "Matilda" was a name, not a surname.

It was just that neither Miss Belindell nor Matilda herself had corrected him, but Tifa knew that the full name of the girl waiting for her at this moment was Matilda Ellington.

"Good evening, Miss Ellington."

The black-haired maid greeted actively, and the latter stood at the corner, holding her left arm with her right hand and pursing her lips:

"Good evening... You are guests, just let us do some chores."

Tifa tilted her head and blinked:

"We are indeed guests, but he lives here tonight, and he will definitely marry Duchess Jia Jia Lin Na in the future, so we are his maids. You define your maid job authority by the house, and I define my maid job authority by the master's position."

The two maid-in-chiefs stared at each other, and the black-haired maid bowed her head slightly:

"Of course, we are guests here after all. I will pay attention to this aspect later. If it is not particularly necessary, we will not intervene in the maid's work again."

Seeing her say this, the blonde maid also bowed her head and said:

"I didn't mean to blame you. You are guests, I can't let you do these things."

"I understand, then good night, Miss Ellington."

"Good night, Miss Servet."

It was just that when the two passed each other and were about to walk away, Tifa said again:

"Speaking of which, Countess Belindell's meaning to Xia De seems to be similar to my master's. Then if Xia De becomes the master of the Belindell family in the future, Miss Ellington, how will you view your responsibilities?"

After speaking, she left, leaving only the blonde maid looking at her back in surprise, and it took a long time before she turned and continued to her destination.

(Little Mia is running...)

Wednesday morning began in a hazy drizzle. Mr. Armand Bernhardt, holding a black umbrella, walked alone on the street in the factory area in the north of Moon Bay City, and finally stopped in front of "Chandler Textile Factory Third Branch."

The "riot" of the workers last night ignited the second branch, so it was safe here. Mr. Bernhardt wore a pair of black gloves and looked at the sign hanging at the door very seriously before entering the factory. There were guards who came to check at the door, but the black gloves shook, and the ordinary person fell into the rain.

The sound of rain covered Mr. Bernhardt's footsteps, and also covered the strange sounds that appeared inside the factory next.

Not long after Mr. Bernhardt entered the factory, more than twenty blood mists poured into the factory together. It seemed that the roar of a giant beast came, and it seemed that there were explosions and the sound of heavy objects falling.

Everything was hidden in the rain, but ten minutes later, a large group of bats flew away from the sky above the factory. Mr. Bernhardt held an umbrella in one hand and dragged Baron Chandler, who had almost become a bloody man, out of the factory.

The blood flowing from the vampire left a clear bloodstain on the ground soaked by rain. And at this time, the carriage had stopped at the factory gate, and Xia De and the coroner were waiting for him.

"You still came."

Mr. Bernhardt said helplessly to Xia De, and Xia De smiled:

"Always have to find something to do for yourself early in the morning. But I went to the wrong place and went to his house first."

Saying this, Xia De and Mr. Albert, who was wearing a hood, reached out their hands to let that incomplete "corpse" rise from the ground and enter the carriage.

"Just now Mr. Watson was asking me about those heart attack corpses."

The coroner explained softly, and then asked:

"It seems the operation went very smoothly."

"It's okay. There was a batch of vampire monsters ambushing inside the factory, but clearly he didn't expect our attack to come so quickly."

Mr. Bernhardt said, and then explained to Xia De who was holding the cat:

"We didn't see the cultists of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 just now. It's unclear whether the other party didn't react or if there were other reasons."

"I think Baron Chandler must know something, leave it to you."

Xia De said to him, and the vampire viscount nodded:

"I will take him back to the morgue with Ptolemy. We have plenty of ways to make him open his mouth. Oh, please don't go there recently for a day or two, to prevent you from not being able to eat after that. I will write to you before next Monday to tell you the interrogation results. This time it is impossible to have no harvest."

Xia De nodded, jumped off the carriage and watched him and Mr. Albert board the seat in front of the carriage, and then drove the carriage into the rain in the early morning.

【You seem to have some doubts?】

"She" asked in Xia De's ear, and Xia De nodded, putting the restless cat into his pocket:

"Too smooth, this Baron Chandler is simply like a smoke bomb deliberately thrown out."

He also turned and left, but walked in another direction:

"It's time to let Megan and Audrey contact their cousin."

【Are you so sure that Nadia Follen is willing to betray the Dragon Feast Sect to help you?】

Xia De smiled:

"I didn't ask her to help me, I just wanted to ask some questions. Besides, although Laplace Howard is dead, the Edwards family is still there, and Green Lake and 'Paradise Island' are still there.

Believe me, although I don't know what kind of influence that diviner who surpassed thirteen rings has exerted on her own bloodline, the Edwards' emphasis on family is stronger than we think."

【Are you treating yourself as the new head of the Edwards family?】

"She" asked lightly.

"Of course not, Megan and Audrey are."

Miss Ilayse entered the council with

The black feather he gave to Xia De had already been burned in the brazier before Xia De left the manor. In the next 12 hours, a black beam of light rising in the distance would continue to mark the location of the Crow's Nest for Xia De.

Therefore, after parting ways with the two vampires, Xia De set off by carriage. Although the coachman was puzzled by Xia De's request to "keep heading northwest," seeing that Xia De didn't seem to be joking, he didn't ask any more questions.

So, as expected, Xia De traveled all the way to the edge of the city. After paying the fare, he continued to walk towards the countryside on his own feet. Fortunately, the rain had come to an end when he reached the outskirts of the city. Although he didn't need an umbrella, the dirt road in the countryside was very muddy.

The countryside after the rain had a unique smell of soil, but it was not particularly unpleasant. Xia De walked until 12:30 at noon. Fortunately, he met a kind person on the way, who let him and Little Mia ride in an empty cart returning to the city with grain for a while.

The black beam of light finally appeared on the top of Crow Mountain in the "Black Forest." Xia De was too lazy to ridicule the naming methods of various areas in the Moon Bay region. In short, he had a simple lunch with Little Mia in the forest, and then climbed up the low hill.

He used the 【Night Watchman】 he carried with him to pierce into the mountain, destroyed the illusion set up by the demon feather, and successfully found the Crow's Nest on the top floor of the dilapidated stone castle on the top of the mountain.

The appearance of a stone castle in such a remote forest hill probably had something to do with stories from the past, but this was not the purpose of Xia De's trip. When the illusion was broken and the fluctuation of the spirit caused the air to twist, the huge crow's nest made of straw and branches appeared on the roof of the castle built of gray stone.
