Earl of Thistle's Castle.

In a magnificent restaurant.

Now on the long and slender aristocratic dining table, there are only the Earl who is sitting at the main seat, and the eldest lady, Liz, who is a little further away.

Of course, as well as the sumptuous food placed on the dining table, as well as the number of maids on call on both sides of the wall.

Liz had never thought of such a dining scene before, after all, it was already a daily habit.

But only in the past few days, for the first time in Liz's heart, an emotion called "desertion" has arisen.

The eldest lady subconsciously looked towards the seat opposite her at the aristocratic table.

A woman whose dress was incompatible with Earl's Castle, even with a smile on her face, could still tell from her hands that she didn't know where to put, her feet that sometimes came together and sometimes spread apart under the dining table, or every three or four seconds,

He would purse his lips slightly, and every six or seven seconds, his eyes would look for the little black wolf lying next to him, and he would gently stroke it with his hand.

Many small details such as these clearly exposed her cautious and nervous mood at the moment. It can be said that one of Liz's greatest pleasures every time she dines is to observe the nervous look of the little girl opposite and see how she behaves.

Only then can we make progress and no longer be so weak and weak.

On the contrary, the little wolf cub mentioned before, who was almost never away from the little girl's side as a summoned beast, was much stronger than his summoner.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s a monster with a higher bloodline, but in short, this summoned beast named “Xiao Hei” is not afraid of humans at all. In fact, it makes Liz feel more like it is dismissive of humans.

, even for myself and my father.

By the way, I’m not allowed to tell outsiders, especially Vivian, but Liz feels that even though she is a flat-chested summoner, the little wolf cub always likes to dig into her big sister. This must be why Vivian

Maybe that’s why An always cares so much about that kind of thing.

What an unserious little monster!

Although the time she spent with Vivian was not long, just one meal scene brought up beautiful memories in Liz's mind one after another.

It can be said that it is more than what Liz has experienced in the more than ten years here. No, it is just a blank piece of paper. How can there be any experience at all?

Yes, it may be a bit unbelievable to say, but Vivian is indeed the first person that Liz can use the word "friend" to describe her since she was a child.

How does that sentence come about? People are not afraid of the dark until they see the first ray of sunshine.

This is what Liz is like now.

When the good memories faded away, what appeared opposite her was no longer the simple little girl from the country, and naturally there was no more likely to be the cute and sleepy little black wolf cub.

Now, all Lisi could see was a luxurious and exquisite chair with an aristocratic appearance, but the person on the chair had long since disappeared.

"What's wrong Liz, are you worried about something? Can you talk to your father? I'm very willing to listen to my precious daughter's troubles."

Earl Thistle's voice sounded at this time, bringing Liz back to reality from some unspeakable negative emotion.

"I'm fine, dad, I made dad worried." Liz replied quickly, using a very standard aristocratic speaking style.

But under his daughter's words, the count's eyes flashed with a cold look, which fleetingly disappeared.

Because, the original Liz was not like this with him.

But since returning from the fund-raising dinner that day, even though Liz pretended to be inadvertent and asked herself some details about that day, Earl Thistle was so keen that he immediately noticed something unusual about his daughter. At least he was the first to do so.

Once, Liz felt a sense of...doubt about herself.

Although it is very light, Count Thistle knows that when the egg has cracks, no matter how small it is, it will become bigger and bigger as time goes by.

but...

snort...

"Liz, I've already said that we don't need to be so polite among our families. No matter what, you must believe that your father will always be your strongest support!"

The count smiled, walked to his daughter's seat, and stroked Liz's long golden hair.

"Well, father..."

Feeling her father's warm and strong hands, the familiar feeling of family quickly filled the void in Liz's heart.

She nodded, her tone obviously becoming a bit more intimate.

"Oh, one more thing."

"Liz, don't go out and leave the manor for a while." Before leaving the restaurant, the earl finally turned to Liz and said.

Although the tone was a discussion, it still had an unquestionable flavor.

"Eh? Why, father?"

"Didn't you read today's newspaper? Liz, the commercial street where the explosion occurred was burned down again last night. Hey, I understand that the city guard has just experienced such a big disaster. It must have been recently."

There will be a shortage of manpower, and even the security in the inner city has deteriorated, so Liz, you should stay in the castle in a down-to-earth manner during this period."

After a brief explanation, the count left the restaurant without giving Liz a chance to speak again.

Where did you come from before?

Oh, yes, the chick in the egg will one day break out of the crack and see the outside world.

But what the chick doesn't know is that there is a cage stronger than an egg shell waiting for her before she can truly see the outside world.

And the name of this cage is, the breeding ground.

After the count finished his meal, Liz soon had no intention of eating anymore. She had no appetite and hurriedly returned to her room.

After asking for a newspaper from the servant, Liz glanced around and quickly read the "exploding" news her father mentioned during breakfast.

If it were in the past, Liz would look at it twice and put it aside if she was exhausted, instead of focusing on reading word by word like she does now, for fear of missing some information.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You want to ask why?

Very simple.

As a participant in the "first explosion" in the commercial street, Liz knew that the explosion and that bastard young man... Well, forget it, it's too troublesome to call him four words every time, so let's just call him...

.Call his name, it’s all in vain.

Just because of the trouble, definitely not because of anything else!

Liz's thinking was actually the same as Teddy's. They both subconsciously believed that since the two explosions were at the same place, there was a high probability that they were caused by the same person.

"Bai...what are you doing again?" A muttering came from the eldest lady's boudoir.

And when Liz saw it, in the news in the newspaper, it was mentioned that the City Guards officially stated that the "Treasure Thief Group" was involved in this incident, while the other side, the forces that conflicted with it, were still investigating.

This made the eldest lady a little uneasy.

Treasure stealing group?

Could it be... could it be that after Bai saved him, he had a grudge against the stolen treasure group, so he wanted to take revenge on him?

The more I think about it, the more I think it is possible.

Liz knows that Bai may be a very powerful mage, but no matter how powerful he is, he is just one person. Can he still compare with the largest underground black force in Huodian City, the Treasure Thief Group?

No, nothing will happen, right?

What is the outcome of the incident?

Are there any casualties?

Bai, Bai, how is he?

The things that Liz was most concerned about were definitely not found in ordinary newspaper news, which immediately made the young lady feel a little restless.

It can even be said that in Liz's mind, an idea began to expand more and more.

She wants to go out.

Go to the place where the incident occurred and take a look.

Trying to find more clues, or... to be more direct, didn't Bai say that as long as she touches the contract between two people's souls, it is equivalent to a summons. No matter where she is, Bai will come first.

appeared in front of her for a moment.

Although she seemed to have said harsh words, saying that she would never take the initiative to find Bai.

But, this... this is an emergency, um, yes, that's right! Harsh words don't count!

The more I think about it, the more determined it becomes.

Even though her father warned her once during breakfast, Liz still decided that she wanted to go out!

The worst thing is that I can explain and apologize to my father later.

In Liz's impression, no matter what mistakes she made, her father would tolerate her and never scold or beat her.

Just do it!

Miss Liz has always been an activist.

But just as she was about to leave the room, Liz stood in front of the dressing mirror in the room, looking at her very boring home clothes. After hesitating for a moment, the eldest lady ran to the closet.

then.

An hour and a half later.

Hair accessories, gloves, a dress, and sleeves that vaguely expose the shoulders.
