"Is this Miss Vivian's first time in Huodian City?" Butler Robert chatted with the girl next to him, laughing.
The little girl hesitated at first, but then nodded quickly. After all, the time when she went to the city alone to report the news... shouldn't be counted, right?
On the other side, since he left the refugee camp outside the city and was escorted by the city guards, the moment he stepped onto the main road in Huodian City, Robert felt as if he had returned home, relieved of the last bit of tension in his body and completely relaxed. down.
It was even said that even though the disaster was not over yet, he had already started to feel relaxed and relaxed, acting as a tour guide to introduce Vivian to Huodian City.
Because they had already said hello, the Thistle family's aristocratic carriage arrived quickly. After a few people got on the carriage, Robert lifted the curtain of the carriage and pointed out the building outside to the little girl.
"Miss Vivian, look, we are in the outer city area now. There are the most shops and hawkers here. If you buy daily necessities on weekdays, it will be cheaper here. Oh, but on the other hand, the security in the outer city area is not that good. , I heard there are a lot of gangsters and the like."
"Then a few streets further inside are mostly pubs and entertainment venues...The tallest building in the distance is the Vulcan Tower, which is the center of the Vulcan Cult, the largest sect in Huodian City, and the Royal Law Tower next to it. The academy trains a large number of outstanding mages for Huodian City every year, as well as the Huodian Great Library...the most famous Vulcan statue..."
Under Robert's enthusiastic introduction, Vivian was a little confused and dizzy, but her young brother Andy, who was holding her hand, was extremely excited, lying next to the window on the other side of the carriage, full of thoughts and feelings. The novelty of a big city.
As for Vivian's father Anru, let alone him. He never dreamed in his life that one day he would be able to ride in a carriage and drive on the main road of Huodian City like the master.
Mage Lake, who was also sitting in the carriage with him, saw the behavior of this family of country bumpkins. Although he didn't show much on the surface, his contempt in his heart became a little stronger.
However, this state did not last long. After a while, the carriage gradually slowed down and finally stopped at the entrance of a luxurious manor in the inner city.
What is more inside the manor is an extremely majestic castle mansion. One of the ancient nobles of Huodian City, the Sisir family, has arrived.
"Lord Robert, you've had a hard journey." The rows of maids who had been waiting at the door to greet the housekeeper bowed in unison when they saw the housekeeper getting off the carriage.
Robert ordered a few maids to take Vivian's father and brother away first and take them to settle down elsewhere. Then, together with the mage Lake, he led Vivian into the mansion officially.
At the same time, in the dark.
Chris, who followed all the way to the entrance of the manor, frowned when he saw the girl's figure disappearing from the entrance of the castle.
"She... shouldn't she be just a little village girl from a rural village? How could she be related to a noble like this?"
"Wait, could it be that..." Chris suddenly thought that some big nobles had the habit of buying servants from the countryside, and the Thistle family was one of the nobles who was most enthusiastic about this.
Although Vivian has a shriveled figure, she still has good looks, so it seems quite normal for her to be bought as a maid.
only...
Chris muttered the words "Sisile" under his breath, but in his mind, he recalled the rumors he had heard within the treasure thief group.
There are rumors that the servants of the Thistle family always disappear inexplicably every year and disappear from the world. It is precisely because of this that they buy more servants from outside than other families every year.
It is even said that the city was semi-locked down some time ago, and other nobles have given up on purchasing servants this year, but the Sissel family still wants to recruit servants even though they spend a lot of money to buy connections.
"You...you, hey! Why is this stupid girl so unwilling to let people stop wherever she goes!" Chris cursed at the bottom of his mouth.
It was the same the last time they met. Not long after Vivian entered the checkpoint, something terrible seemed to happen inside. Although Chris didn't dare to go in, he witnessed the guard being beaten out with his own eyes. .
Later, when the Kristo people inquired, they found out that there was a very powerful mage who was said to be destroying the Vulcan Cult. In the end, even the legendary Damir, the number one genius mage in Huodian City, was alerted and came. Support, this comes to an end.
But after everything was over, Chris wanted to find out how Vivian was doing and whether she had been affected by the incident, but the little girl seemed to have disappeared from the world and lost all news.
Therefore, this is why Chris was so surprised and curious after seeing Vivian again today. He couldn't help but put aside the big business outside the city and wanted to follow her.
In the end, curiosity really kills people. It doesn't matter, now Chris is extremely confused.
Because, no matter whether the rumors are true or not, Chris feels that it is better to believe that they are true than to believe that they are not true. If there is really any problem in the Thistle family, then the girl now is simply a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
After struggling internally several times, Chris wanted to turn around and leave.
But in the end he gritted his teeth and stayed.
"This is for the travel expenses that I gave to that silly girl, so that the bag of money will not be wasted! If something happens to her, wouldn't it mean that my money has been wasted!"
Chris old sunk costs.
After forcibly finding a reason and excuse to convince himself, now that he had made up his mind to sneak into Thistle's house and remind Vivian, who knew nothing about it, Chris' whole aura suddenly changed.
The original look of a little gangster disappeared, replaced by a slightly bowed body. After a deep breath, a magical scene appeared. Chris' figure gradually blurred, and finally, he even merged with the surrounding environment. , if you hadn't looked carefully, you wouldn't have discovered that there was someone here.
The signature skill that symbolizes the second-level thief profession, stealth.
If Chris can become the boss of this neighborhood, he must have real abilities.
With the help of stealth, he bypassed the guards and easily sneaked into the Thistle family's manor. After observing for a while, Chris started to curse in his heart.
Because in the entire huge manor house, especially the servants who can enter and leave the castle, there are not many male servants! They are all maids!
There is no other way. It would be okay to sneak into the manor, but if you really enter the castle, a big noble like the Thisle family must have defenses that can detect the thieves' stealth. So in desperation, it has reached this point, and Chris also Don’t want to give up halfway.
I must blackmail that little village girl severely when I go back, otherwise I won't be sorry for his sacrifice today!
With extreme reluctance, Chris secretly knocked out a maid in the castle, then dragged him to a deserted corner, quickly exchanged his clothes with the maid's, humiliatingly, he put on a skirt for the first time in his life, and finally used The thief's skills also changed his face and figure.
Just like that, after coming out again, the brand new maid Cross began to move quickly in the castle after sensing Vivian's breath.
