Because returning home is like an arrow, so I am living like a year now.

I originally wanted to go to the East to see if there was a way to return to the original world, but after going to the kitchen to talk to the cook from the East, I learned that the East is still in the era of long robes and jackets, even if I try to get past it , and there is no way back to modern times.

Right now, it seems that the only way to go is Sterling and the sacred object.

On this day, when I was idle and bored, I planned to go for a walk in the yard, and I happened to meet Buck who was looking for Sterling at the door of the bedroom.

He smiled at me and said, "I was going to look for you, but I met you here. Donnie, are you free? Can I take a step to talk?"

I couldn't figure out why he was looking for me, but I had no reason to refuse, so I nodded and agreed.

He took me to a secluded place in the courtyard, looked around, and seeing no one approaching, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that you and Eddie have had a bad fight recently..."

Well, it seems that this is trying to trick me.

"That's right," I said frankly, also wanting to see what he was going to know.

"You..." He hesitated for a moment, "Did you find that thing?"

I couldn't help but startled.But after a while, I realized that what he was talking about should be the mirror in my hand.

"What?" I asked, pretending not to know.

He smiled meaningfully, and after taking a deep look at me, he said, "I never imagined that Eddie would trust and spoil you so much that he would let you hold that thing."

Hearing his tone, he must have known about me holding the bronze mirror. In this way, not only is his eyeliner in the lord's mansion, but he is also an important person who can get close to me and Sterling. Otherwise, such an important person How would he know things.

As for how he knew, I don't care, I just want to know what his real purpose is.

"If you're talking about a mirror, I have it." I continued to be candid.

"I think we can cooperate." He suddenly said seriously, "Do you have a wish that you want to realize, right? I do too, so I think we can cooperate."

"Oh?" I couldn't help being surprised, "What exciting conditions can you offer?"

I wouldn't let him see that mirror for no reason.

"Don't forget," his smile deepened, "my last name is Sterling, too."

Oh yes!

He didn't say I almost forgot about it!He is Sterling's half-brother, so naturally his surname is also Sterling, but we always call him Buck Buck, completely ignoring his last name.

"You mean..." I hesitated.

"If it takes someone from the Sterling family to use it, I think I can."

From what he meant, he didn't have a deep understanding of holy objects, but the conditions he proposed were indeed very attractive.If he can use that mirror, then I can take the opportunity to go back, if not, I have not lost much.If he wants to keep the mirror, then let Sterling take care of him. Whether the two brothers will argue is not up to me.

"Have you thought about the time and place of cooperation?" I decided to give it a try, "I don't think I can easily leave the house now."

"It's okay, I will let someone pick you up then."

After he finished speaking, he looked around, then waved at me and turned to leave.

Looking at his back, I couldn't help thinking about whether my decision was correct.

If Sterling knew that I was looking for Buck with a mirror, he would be very angry, right?But who cares about him, who made him play tricks on me all the time, and firmly refused to let me go!

Two days after parting with Buck, I was walking downstairs when a maid on the second floor suddenly stopped me.

This maid was newly recruited by Talis at the beginning of the year, and her name is Rita. After Haili left, she took over Haili's job and cleaned the second floor.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Mr. Buck asked me to come to you." She whispered to me, and then motioned me to follow her with her eyes.

Following her to a guest room on the second floor, she took out a maid outfit and a wig and handed them to me, saying, "You change into this, and then I'll take you out."

After hesitating for a moment, I changed into the maid outfit and put on a brown wig as she said.Then, she led me out of the bedroom and towards the side door in the yard.

The guards stopped us and asked where we were going, and Rita answered very naturally: "Tales gave us half a day off and allowed us to go shopping on the street."

The guard looked at us carefully and asked again: "Name?"

"Rita."

After Rita finished answering, she glanced at me.

I replied according to her previous instructions: "Sandra."

Sandra is also one of the new maids. It is estimated that Rita and Sandra asked Talis for leave at the same time, and then I will replace Sandra to leave the house.

After hearing this, the guards immediately let us go, and Rita and I successfully walked out of the Lord's Mansion.

Rita led me to the corner of the street and whispered to me: "I can't take you to Mr. Buck's mansion, someone will come to pick you up later."

As soon as she finished speaking, a carriage drove up just in time, and then stopped in front of us.

Rita said, "Go up, Mr. Barker is waiting for you."

Looking at the carriage, I couldn't help but hesitate.I don't have a good impression of Buck, so I'm afraid that if I go this time, I'll become just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.

Seeing that I was standing still, Rita urged: "Hurry up! Otherwise, when the lord finds out and chases me, you won't be able to leave!"

Her words reminded me that in order to leave this unlucky world, I am willing to take any danger!

After making up my mind, I immediately got into the carriage and let the carriage drive me forward.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and the coachman called out in a low voice, "Miss, we're here."

After I got off the car, what I saw was a simple and well-regulated western-style building. The courtyard door was wide open, and a servant was waiting there.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Downey?" the servant bowed and saluted.

"Yes, I am." I nodded.

"Please follow me." After he finished speaking, he led the way.

I followed the servant into the courtyard gate, walked into the western-style building, and stopped until I reached a door on the second floor.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then there was a voice of "please come in" from inside, and the voice was Buck's.

"Please come in." The servant said, stretched out his hand to gesture forward, then turned and left.

I settled my thoughts and emotions, and then pushed the door open.

"Welcome, Donnie!" Buck was sitting behind the desk. When he saw me coming in, he got up and greeted me immediately. "May I ask, have you brought anything?" His smiling eyes were filled with eagerness. .

"If you don't bring it, we won't be able to cooperate, right?" I smiled slightly, and patted my underwear pocket.

Since I decided to cooperate with Buck, I have carried the mirror with me in case I was suddenly taken out of the house like today.

"Can I take a look?" His eyes looked eagerly at the place where I patted, as if he wanted to see through the fabric.

"Of course." I reached into my clothes and took out the bronze mirror.

When he saw the mirror, his pupils shrank obviously, and he took the mirror directly without asking, and then looked at it over and over again, rubbing it.

"It should be it, it should be it!" His voice was a little excited, "The engraving on the back is the family emblem of the Sterling family!"

At first, I suspected that the mirror was just an ordinary thing, but now that Buck is so excited, I also think it must be a sacred object.Unexpectedly, Sterling would put such an important thing with me.

"Since it's confirmed, shall we try it now?" I didn't want this matter to drag on for too long, so I had to remind myself.

He glanced at me and didn't mean to return the mirror, but what he said was still reliable: "Okay, you just want to make a wish, so let's try it."

He returned to stand behind the desk, and I walked to the front of the desk to face him. He put the mirror on the desk and said, "Let's start."

I nodded and said my wish in the mirror - "I want to go home."

After hearing what I said, Buck immediately replied: "In the name of the Sterling people, I agree to fulfill your wish."

The room was quiet, and we both stared at the bronze mirror with wide eyes, waiting for the magical scene to happen.The pendulum of the grandfather clock makes a slight rhythmic sound, reminding us that the time is passing by every minute and every second.

A few minutes later, both of us had to face reality - the experiment failed.

Buck sat back in the chair, sighed and said, "It seems that there is something we haven't figured out yet."

I was also very disappointed. I didn't expect that after running so hard to come here, it was completely ineffective.

"Since it doesn't work, return the mirror to me first, or the lord will be exposed when I go back." Now that the matter has come to this point, I decided to go back first.

Buck smiled softly, then put the mirror in the desk drawer and quickly locked it.

I:"……"

Fuck, this is not going to be given to me, is it?

"Donnie, I finally got it, how could I return it to you?"

"Buck, don't go too far!" I said angrily, "If I don't want to come back, but your brother can! Instead of letting him come to you, why don't you give it back to me now!"

"What you said sounds right, but the point is," he stood up and looked at me leisurely, "Eddie doesn't know that the things are here? Even if he finds out that you have been here, I can say You left with your stuff again."

That last sentence gave me chills.

"You mean, I don't want to go back to the Lord's Mansion again, do you?"

"If I let you go back, wouldn't it be revealed that the mirror is in my hands?"

"So," I clenched my fists secretly, "are you going to kill someone to silence me?"

Before I finished speaking, I quickly lifted the hem of my skirt, took out a table knife hidden in my lap, and pointed it at Buck's neck.

"You won't be as fast as I am, Donnie." After he finished speaking, he motioned me to look down with his eyes.

I glanced down and saw that he was holding a gun in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at my stomach.

Not to mention that it is difficult for me to stab him across the table, even if there is nothing between us, my knife may not be as fast as a bullet.
