Vol 2 Chapter 496: That night

The night before many days.
On the vast ground, the remote villages are sporadic, and the ancient castle stands alone. In the endless night, it is like a small wooden boat floating on the sea, and occasionally dim lights from the windows.
On the second floor of the castle, in the shaded room, the cat slave girl Heidi was sitting on her knees on the bed, staring at the night sky outside the window. She has been keeping this movement for a long time, and it seems that she will continue to maintain it. The reason for this is because she doesn’t know what to do. No matter what she does, she will be denied by the host here and can only stay in this room. In the middle, obediently killing time with cats.
"Meow!"
There was a meow, and the black cat lying on the bed yawned and opened his mouth to bark.
Heidi tilted his head slightly, reached out and touched the black cat, scratched the stomach of the black cat, and let the black cat sleep lazily. Then he turned back, sighed, and continued to look at the starry sky, muttering to himself in a very low voice: "When can I go out... and will Mr. Richard come again..."
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Da da da……"
Heidi turned her head to look at the door, and the black cat beside her seemed to feel something dangerous. She suddenly awakened from her sleep, her whole body was blown up, her waist was arched high, her tail was raised upright, staring at the door and growling Out loud.
"Woo--Woo--"
"Da da da……"
The sound outside the door was not affected, and continued to approach.
Heidi pursed her lips and looked at the black cat beside her. She reached out and wanted to appease. Who knows that the black cat suddenly shrank, and hid under the quilt of the bed.
Heidi froze for a moment, when a figure appeared outside the door.
It was an old man, rickety, with wrinkles on his face, and looked seventy or eighty years old. Because he was too thin, his skin was almost wrapped around the bones, which looked like a skeleton at first glance.
The other person exudes a cold air around him, which makes people feel uncomfortable, but Heidi still asks with a stern whisper: "Hello Eugene, what's the matter?" In the castle, the old master of the castle, Eugene, was specially assigned to take care of her.
"Uh, that's it." Hearing Heidi's voice, the old man standing outside the door opened his mouth and looked over, making 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 just said, "Mrs. Mary is now waiting for you in the lobby on the first floor. I hope you can hurry up."
Leaving this sentence, the old man turned and left.
Heidi frowned, and some didn't quite understand why she suddenly called her in the big night. Lifted the quilt, looked at the black cat hidden in the quilt, and said, "Mickey, would you like to go with me?"
"Meow--" The black cat groaned slightly, and hid deeper into the quilt.
"Well, then I'll go by myself." Heidi sighed, jumped off the bed, put on his shoes, sorted out the slightly messy clothes, and walked out to the first floor of the hall.
When he arrived at the lobby, Heidi saw a large number of logs piled in the fireplace in the lobby, which was burning, like to dispel the coolness of the night.
But I don't know why. The closer the fireplace was, the more bitterly cold Heidi felt. Without a little warmth, he couldn't help but stay away, turning his head to look at a woman sitting in a brown high-back leather chair in the hall.
It seems difficult for the other party to distinguish inexact ages-both a thirty-year-old appearance, a forty-year-old mature taste, and a look that can only be possessed by people over fifty.
The other party's skin was fair, the white was like snowflakes, and Rao was Heidi. The other party's lips are red as blood, their eyes are like a pair of sapphires, and their hair is made of gold. In addition, the other party is wearing a gorgeous blue coat and a large string of pearl necklaces on the neck.
Heidi looked at it and shouted honestly: "Aunt Mary, hello."
"Hmm." Heidi's voice turned, and the other party turned to look at him, and looked at Heidi, and asked aloud, "I heard Eugene say, do you want to go out of the castle?"
Heidi's expression tightened: "That... Aunt Mary, I did say that I wanted to get out of the castle, but Eugene told me that it was not safe outside, so I gave up. And... that was many days ago It's something."
The woman Mary nodded. "That was indeed a lot of days ago. Don't blame me, just mention it now. The reason for this is that the time before was really messy.
You don’t know what you said, in short, you know there is a place called Baishi High Tower. Something big happened there, affecting the entire east coast. You are my loved one, and I must care about you, so I cannot let you leave the castle in danger. "
"Uh--" Heidi hesitated and said, "Aunt Mary, you forgot, actually...I came from the Shiraishi Tower."
"Are you from the Shiraishi High Tower?" Mary, the woman, froze, and then said, "Even, I remember, you did come from the Shiraishi High Tower. It's better, I think you can really understand me meaning."
"Yes." Heidi whispered.
"So now I am going to take you out of here, should you understand?" Mary the woman asked.
"Ah?" Heidi was surprised. "Leave here? Why... why? Do I have to leave? When should I leave? Can... Can I wait a few days?"
"You have a lot of questions, Heidi!" said Mary, a little displeased. "But I'm in a good mood today, and I can answer these questions.
First of all, leaving is a must. I did not discuss it with you, I just informed you. As for the time, it is tonight. Why this is so simple, because it is even more chaotic outside now. "
Heidi puzzled: "It's more chaotic? Why is it more chaotic~EbookFREE.me~ Must I leave?"
"Stupid boy, don't you understand?" Mary woman shook her head, slightly disappointed. "If there is only a little chaos, we can hide in this castle naturally, but to a certain extent, our castle is If you can’t stop it, you must go to a safer place."
"Then... where to go?"
The woman Mary did not answer directly: "You will know by then."
"Then I..." Heidi stopped talking.
"You are just obedient, my little baby." Mary, the woman, said, "You know the situation now, go and pack your bags now, and we will leave in ten minutes."
"ten minutes?"
"Yes, go." Mary, the woman, waved her hand and said nothing more.
Heidi nodded helplessly, bit his lip, and quickly ran towards the second floor of the castle, and entered the room. ()
