The white horse descended into the land of nothingness with supreme power.
Arthur did not want to go into the church to hide, because he did not know the words that were sung inside, "I saw the white horse, and hell followed."
Was it reminding him that the devil was coming, or was the devil summoned by them?
Arthur didn't dare to gamble, but silently thought about the door of the wardrobe at home. The next moment, when he raised the lantern again, the door appeared in front of him.
This was the way he found to go back when he first came here.
Weirdness and chaos are synonymous with this void space. Only a strong and unquestioning will can find the direction of home.
The moment Arthur entered the door, the white horse demon was also looking at him.
Arthur hurriedly passed through the door, returned to his room, and immediately closed the cupboard door tightly with all his strength.
"Arthur, are you up? Breakfast is ready."
In the early morning, the maid Faith stood outside the door urging him to get up.
Opening his heavy eyes, Arthur felt that he was extremely tired today, even more tired than when he was exorcising demons in Rose Manor.
Faith looked at his face and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Arthur came to the bathroom and saw his two big black eye sockets in the mirror. He couldn't help but said: "Maybe it's a nightmare!"
At the dinner table, Jabi had finished a sausage and half a piece of bread.
"My dear, you look so bad, is it because you didn't sleep well last night?"
Seeing Arthur's haggard face, Mary couldn't help asking with the same worry.
"Nothing mom, maybe it's because I had a strange dream last night."
"What strange dream?"
Jabby asked curiously as he spread butter on the remaining half-slice of bread.
Arthur rolled his eyes at him, "I dreamed of a donkey, and its snoring was like thunder."
"This is impossible. I slept very well last night, and we live in the same dormitory at school."
Arthur shrugged his shoulders and stopped arguing with him, but Mary was a little worried about her son's state. "You are going to a cocktail party today. Isn't it too rude to look like this?"
At this time, Jabi hurriedly comforted Mary: "Don't worry, Mommy, I have a lot of cosmetics here, I can guarantee that he will be the most handsome person at the reception."
In this era, men's cosmetics were no less than women's, especially in the palace, the main product was a powdery face with oily hair.
Arthur actually hated men wearing makeup, so he couldn't help patting Jabi on the shoulder, "You'd better not lose Mummy Mary's son, or else you'll have to pay the Doyle family."
"If so, I would be honored."
Mary looked at the two young people laughing and playing, and the room that had been silent was suddenly filled with vitality.
After the meal, she personally arranged the clothes for the two of them, while Faith clapped her hands excitedly and shouted: "They are two handsome young men. You must be careful on the road, don't be snatched by those beautiful girls." Let’s go.”
Jabi was thick-skinned and said eloquently: "This is exactly what we expected."
At this moment the carriage also came to the door.
Mary stood at the door, watching the two people go away. For some reason, Jabi's eyes were a little red, and he said sourly: "It's great to have a mother!"
Arthur patted him on the shoulder, "Just in time, I have something to tell you. In fact, I have asked Sher to investigate your life experience."
"Did you find anything else?"
Jabi knew that Arthur would not investigate his life experience without any reason.
Arthur rubbed his brows and said, "It's hard to say this matter now. We'd better wait for the results of Sher's investigation!"
"I have never seen my parents since I can remember. Before I was 10 years old, I was fostered in an elderly British family in Africa."
At this moment, there was an indescribable loneliness on Jabi's face.
Arthur actually admired Jabi quite a bit. It was not easy for him to still have such an optimistic character in the face of so many troubles in his life.
Sure enough, Jabi jumped out again after a while.
But at the gate of Edinburgh University, Professor Bell got on the carriage and drove him off.
He could only grimace and get into another carriage.
Professor Bell had some criticisms about Arthur and Jabi being together. He felt that people like Arthur, who were destined to be famous in the future, had better stay away from playboys like Jabi.
In the carriage, Professor Bell took out two cigars, handed one to Arthur, and asked him: "How much do you know about the Challis Hotel?"
Professor Bell was talking about the place where the reception was held today.
Arthur replied honestly: "I don't know much."
But he immediately remembered the director of pharmacy at the University of Edinburgh, also named Chaklis.
He couldn't help but ask: "Does it have anything to do with Director Matthew Chaklis?"
This is what Professor Bell wants to say. He knows that some time ago, the director of medicine, Matthew Chakris, wanted to cooperate with Arthur on the patent of antibiotics.
But Arthur decisively rejected it and donated the patent for free, which made the entire Chaklis family very dissatisfied with him.
It is hard to say that it was not their deliberate design to arrange the reception here this time.
"Arthur, you have to be careful. The Challis family has a long history in Scotland. Many people in their family hold important positions within the government. So it's best not to offend them. I don't want to see your talents ruined in these..." In the hands of a villain.”
Arthur was very moved when he heard the professor's sincere persuasion, but for him, he didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't want to be attached to those powerful people.
In his previous life, he was just a commoner and had a natural dislike for these nobles.
The carriage finally arrived at the hotel square. The tall and majestic high-rise buildings made the entire hotel look more like a splendid castle.
Of course, it's still a little worse than Rose Castle, but the surface decoration is more novel and luxurious.
A brand new red carpet was laid all the way to where they got off the car. This cocktail party would probably cost a lot of money.
Arthur hated such meaningless attention, but it was an indispensable pomp in the communication of nobles. In fact, he also knew that many nobles were pretending to be fat.
In the hall, Lord Diberio Appiah, the Chief Home Secretary, was surrounded by a group of people. At this time, he heard the attendant standing at the door shout: "Professor Joseph Bell of Edinburgh and his student Arthur Conan Dow. Mr. Er has arrived.”
The attendant's voice was not loud, but it attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Lord Diberio, the Home Secretary, came over first.
Although Arthur didn't like powerful people, he didn't dare to let the Scottish Prime Minister come to greet him. He hurriedly stepped forward, put his left hand on his right chest, bowed to DiBerio and said: "My lord, it is a great honor to meet you here. To you!"
