Magus Tech Chapter 496: That night
Night many days ago.
On the vast land, there are remote villages and ancient castles standing alone. In the boundless night, they are like a small wooden boat floating on the sea, with dim lights occasionally shining through the windows.
On the second floor of the castle, in a shady room, the cat slave girl Heidi was sitting on the bed with her knees hugged, staring at the night sky outside the window in a daze. She has been doing this for a long time, and it seems that she will continue to do so. The reason for this is that she doesn't know what to do—no matter what she does, she will be denied by the master here, and she can only stay in this room forever In the middle, spend time with the cat obediently.
"Meow!"
With a meow, the black cat lying on the bed yawned and opened its mouth to meow.
Heidi tilted her head slightly, reached out to touch the black cat, scratched the black cat's stomach, and let the black cat sleep lazily. Then turned around, sighed, continued to look at the starry sky, and said to himself in a very low voice: "When will I be able to go out... Will Mr. Li Cha come..."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Da da da..."
Heidi turned her head to look at the door. The black cat beside her seemed to sense some danger, and suddenly woke up from her sleep. Her body's fine hair was blown out, her waist was arched high, her tail was raised upright, and she was staring at the cat. There was a low growl at the door.
"Woo-woo-"
"Da da da..."
The sound outside the door is not affected, continue to approach.
Heidi pursed her lips, looked at the black cat beside her, and reached out to comfort her. Who knew that the black cat shrank suddenly, and hid under the quilt of the bed.
Heidi was taken aback for a moment, when a figure appeared outside the door.
It was an old man with a hunchbacked body and wrinkled face. He looked seventy or eighty years old. Because he was too thin, the skin was almost wrapped around the bones. At first glance, he looked like a skeleton.
The other party exudes a cold aura, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they see it, but Heidi still bites the bullet and asks: "Hi Eugene, what's the matter?" The other party was Eugene, an old servant in this castle who was specially assigned by the owner of the castle to take care of her.
"Uh, that's right." Hearing Heidi's voice, the old man Eugene standing outside the door opened his mouth, looked over and made a hoarse voice, "Mrs. Mary wants to see you, Miss Heidi. "
"Aunt Mary wants to see me?" Heidi's eyes flashed, "Why?"
"I don't know." The old man shook his head, without revealing any information, but said, "Mrs. Mary is waiting for you in the lobby on the first floor now, I hope you can hurry up."
Leaving this sentence behind, the old man turned around and left.
Heidi frowned, not quite understanding why she was suddenly called at night. Lifting the quilt, looking at the black cat hidden under the quilt, he said, "Mickey, do you want to go with me?"
"Meow—" the black cat let out a slightly aggrieved cry, and hid itself deeper under the quilt.
"Okay, then I'll go by myself." Heidi sighed, jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, sorted out the slightly messy clothes, walked out, and walked to the lobby on the first floor.
When he arrived at the hall, Heidi saw that there were many logs piled up in the fireplace in the hall, burning blazingly, as if to dispel the coolness of the night.
But I don't know why, the closer the fireplace is, the more bitterly cold Heidi feels, without any warmth, so she can't help but move away, turning her head to look at a woman sitting on a brown high-back leather chair in the hall .
It seemed difficult for the other party to distinguish between indefinite ages—he had a thirty-year-old appearance, a forty-year-old mature look, and an expression that could only be possessed by a fifty-year-old.
The other party's skin is fair, as white as snowflakes, even Heidi feels ashamed. The other party's lips were as red as blood, the eyes were like a pair of sapphires, and the hair was made of gold. In addition, the other party was wearing a gorgeous blue coat and a large string of pearl necklaces around his neck, making him extremely glamorous.
Heidi looked at it and shouted honestly: "Aunt Mary, hello."
"Yeah." Hearing Heidi's voice, the other party turned to look over, looked at Heidi, and asked aloud, "I heard from Eugene that you want to go out of the castle?"
Heidi's expression tightened: "Well... Aunt Mary, I did say that I wanted to go out of the castle for a while, but Eugene told me that it was not safe outside, so I gave up. And... that is already a lot It happened a few days ago."
The woman Mary nodded and said, "It was indeed a matter of many days ago. Don't blame me, you just brought it up now. The reason for this is that the outside was really chaotic during the previous period.
You don't understand even if I say it, but you just need to know that there is a place called White Stone Tower. Something big happened there that affected the entire East Coast. You are my kin, and I must take care of you, so I cannot let you leave the castle in danger. "
"Uh——" Heidi hesitated for a while, and said, "Aunt Mary, you forgot, actually... I came from the White Stone Tower."
"Are you from the White Stone Tower?" The woman Mary was taken aback, and then continued, "Occasionally, I remembered, you are indeed from the White Stone Tower. This is better, I think you can really See what I mean."
"Yes." Heidi whispered.
"So, now that I'm taking you out of here, you should understand, right?" asked the woman Mary.
"Ah?" Heidi was surprised, "Leave here? For... why? Do you have to leave? When will you leave? Can... can you wait for a few days?"
"You have a lot of questions, Heidi!" The woman Mary said slightly displeased, "But I'm in a good mood today, so I can answer these questions for you.
First of all, you must leave if you leave. I'm not discussing with you, I'm just informing you. As for the time, it is tonight. The reason for this is very simple, because it is more chaotic outside now. "
Heidi was puzzled: "It's even more chaotic? Why is it even more chaotic ~IndoMTL.com~ must leave?"
"Stupid child, don't you understand?" The woman Mary shook her head and said slightly disappointed, "If there is only a little chaos, we can naturally hide in this castle, but if there is a certain degree of chaos, we This castle is unstoppable, we must go to a safer place."
"Then...where are you going?"
Woman Mary did not answer directly: "You will know in due time."
"Then I..." Heidi hesitated to speak.
"Just be obedient and obedient, my little baby." The woman Mary said, "You understand the situation now, go and pack your luggage right away, we will leave in ten minutes."
"Ten minutes?"
"Yes, let's go." The woman Mary waved her hand and said nothing more.
Heidi nodded helplessly, bit her lip, and quickly ran to the second floor of the castle and entered the room. ()
