Elf Tree Fruit Dessert Chef

Chapter 22 Suspicion of the Castle

Lian scratched his head and looked at Seer who hurriedly walked out. This guy had already paid for everything. How could he escape the bill?

The half-open door was a little shaky, and it was pitch black outside. There seemed to be no lighting facilities such as street lights outside the manor. The manor was extremely dark at night.

Lian sighed. Anyway, he was here to make dessert for Seul's father, so it didn't matter if Seul went out.

However, it was really unsettling to rush out without even closing the door.

Lian slapped her cheek, trying to relax a little. The first priority was to deliver the dessert to Seer's father.

The Green Onion Duck poked its head out of the kitchen curiously. It and Carp King had also heard the ear-piercing howl just now, and King Carp King was so frightened that he jumped up from the water basin.

It finally helped throw the King Carp back into the basin, and then hurriedly ran out of the kitchen. The howl was indeed very captivating. At least it had never heard such a roar in the back hills of Zhenxin Town.

"Don't panic, it's not a big problem."

Lian walked to the door and closed the half-open door. After all, it was half-open and wobbling, as if it was about to be blown shut by the wind, but it couldn't be closed. Lian simply reached out and closed it directly to save the trouble. It made him panic.

The Green Onion Duck was looking around in the old castle. It was the first time for it to come to such a mansion, so it couldn't help but be curious.

Lian was holding a big plate and looking around the hall of the castle. There was no one at all. Where was his father?

Thinking of this, Lian had the idea of ​​going out to look for Seer directly, but he immediately rejected it. There were no street lights in this manor, and it was pitch black. He, a person who was not familiar with the route at all, would probably have gotten lost if he went out.

Therefore, he just gave the desserts to the customers honestly and didn't mind other business.

However, there seemed to be no one on the first floor. The empty castle hall had only a huge carpet in the middle and no other furniture. The more it looked, the more it looked like the vampire castle in the movie.

Outside the window, the bright moonlight shone into the castle, adding a little more light.

Good guy, the moon is out, what is this guy Seer doing out at night?

There was probably no one on the first floor, so I had to go up to the second floor to have a look.

Lian carried the plate and walked to the stairwell in the middle of the first floor, ready to go upstairs directly. Since there was no one on the first floor, his father should be upstairs or something like that.

However, there was no light in this place. Although he could barely see things clearly, the cold walls, the white moonlight, and the looming strange voices outside made him scared.

"What about the green onion duck? Let's go up together." Lian turned to look at the green onion duck who was looking around with the green onions on her side, and said coquettishly.

Step by step with Green Onion Duck, we walked up the stairs made of ancient bricks. This old castle was quite restored. Maybe it was the ancestral home where Seer and his family had lived for generations.

I'm afraid, it's not just the third generation of rich people.

Slowly walking up to the second floor, I saw a long corridor. At the end of the corridor, there seemed to be a rooftop. I could see the moonlight floating on the opposite side, and the gloomy feeling suddenly became a bit more intense.

Lian looked at this corridor, and there was still no light.

It's really strange. For such a large family, there is no reason to save so much electricity or gas. Why don't you turn on the lights or light an oil lamp or something at night?

"ga"

Green Onion Duck carried the green onions and walked straight towards the end of the corridor.

It seems that it doesn't think there is anything suspicious at all, and even if there are any ghost-type Pokémon, it has seen enough, and if it can't defeat it, it will just run away.

With this thought in mind, Green Onion Duck carried the green onions and continued to move forward, pattering towards the listening terrace at the end of the corridor.

Lian saw that the green onion duck had already left. He couldn't just stand there, so he immediately followed with a plate.

At least what is certain now is that he is indeed the only one in this castle. Seer and his so-called father are not in this castle at all.

Lian shuddered, recalling the scene where Seul hurriedly left before. Could it be that he was involved in some family infighting? Seul killed his father for property.

It makes no sense. If you want to kill his father, why would you go all the way to Kanto to find him, a pastry chef, to make desserts for your father?

So, why did Seer go out in a hurry?

Lian was lost in thought, and he recalled the strange attitudes of the young man and the old captain on the previous ship. Is there really something wrong with this Affok Manor?

There was also that weird howling. He was certain that it was definitely not Rattata. There must be other Pokémon in the manor besides Rattata.

And maybe it had something to do with Seer walking out of the house in a hurry.

Unknowingly, Lian had walked to the rooftop, and the moonlight shone on him, but he had no time to admire the moon. It was so strange. There must be some secret between the father and son.

Lian overlooked the entire manor from the rooftop. There was a large forest in the manor itself. He didn't pay attention to it during the day. Now it seemed that choosing not to chase him out was definitely a wise choice.

This forest was deeper than he thought. If he entered hastily, he would definitely get lost. There was no other possibility.

Under the moonlight, the entire forest looked even darker, like a sticky swamp, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.

In Lian's eyes, those tree trunks of different shapes looked like twisted ghosts of injustice, looking particularly ferocious.

There were too many doubts. He stood on the rooftop and felt the breeze blowing. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the wind always gave him a cold feeling and made him shudder.

The green onion duck still has an indifferent expression on its face. Maybe it doesn’t think so much at all. For it, it’s best for Seer to go out. Seer’s father can’t find a better one. Maybe Lian will do it after a while. Give it good desserts.

Thinking of this good thing, the green onion duck couldn't help but dance again. Inadvertently, it seemed to feel something

"quack quack quack quack"

The abnormality of the green onion duck made Lian panic a little. The green onion duck fluttered in his footsteps and pointed the green onion behind Lian's back.

Lian looked behind him in confusion and saw a small hill not far away, a peak just emerging from the deep forest.

Of course, this was not the reason for the green onion duck to panic. On the top of the hill, a man stood there, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

The man stood there blankly, motionless. Lian understood that he was definitely not a normal person.
