kiss the night

Nobody knew of Austin Lodgery's "Ruby," at least none of the humans who served the castle today had such a long lifespan going back so long ago.However, there was indeed a servant whose father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had spent their entire lives in the castle, and the maid's name was Clara.

Noah and Eden found her in the woodshed of the back kitchen. Even though modern kitchen utensils are developing more and more rapidly, the owner of Castle Lozheil still seems to prefer the old delicacies.

An off-white headscarf was wrapped around Clara's head. She was wearing a black flannel dress with some simple patterns on the corners. This maid had a typical Aryan face and looked ordinary. You won't find that kind in the crowd anymore.

"This is my friend, his name is Noah." Eden came to her, he took out a small pot of honey from his pocket, and put it in Clara's hand, "He brought it to you A gift, because I told him you like honey tea."

Noah carefully looked at the two people in front of him. In fact, he didn't know what this maid liked to eat, and he had never prepared honey—all of these were handled by Eden. It seemed that this guy should be good at dealing with people. veteran.

Noah began to feel guilty about what he said to Eden about "friends" just now.

"Hello, Noah." Clara straightened up, she accepted the honey pot, and smiled at Noah, "I know you, in fact, the story of you and those two adults has long been spread Laudrey."

Noah frowned: "Is there anything special about us?"

Clara nodded: "You are the only guests for so many years, which is special enough, after all, His Royal Highness Austin is not very temper... oh!"

She exclaimed in a low voice, "I shouldn't have said that."

There was a little smile on Noah's face. It seemed that this maid was better at talking than he had imagined, so it would be easy to handle. He didn't mind playing tricks, such as pretending to be pitiful, and asked himself want something.

Speaking of which, to be able to survive in this chaotic land, Noah has already practiced his special "skills" all his life. Take Yan Zhao's hand at the gate of the embassy as an example, he was already able to use It's an extreme time to judge who is better at speaking between Yan Zhao and Laurentine.

Noah didn't mind flaunting his poor background-if it would help him survive.

If he has studied Chinese, he should know that this is called "being able to bend and stretch". Although it is indeed a bit too tactful to learn this kind of thing at the age of less than ten years old, it is also impossible, isn't it?

So, after they chatted with Clara for a while, the maid looked at Noah with sympathy and pity. She defended him, saying that this messy world should have been cleared up long ago!He also said that Noah was able to be adopted by Yan Zhao and Laurentine, which is definitely the gospel given by God.

Oh she said God.

From the corner of his eye, Noah saw Eden twitching the corner of his mouth. Obviously, the two boys felt strange about linking vampires with the Gospel of God.

After Clara finished speaking, she also realized her slip of the tongue: "Forget it, let's talk about something else."

"His Highness Austin refuses to see us, so I can only wait here boredly every day." Noah shrugged his shoulders, he helped Carrera pack the firewood, and asked, "Maybe you can tell me Rumors in the castle, I heard that there are stories in this kind of old castle."

"Hey, most of them are gossip from servants, what do you want to hear?"

Eden answered at the right time: "I heard that His Highness has something very valuable. Mr. Gardener mentioned it once, but if I asked more, he said he didn't know about it."

"Hmm..." Clara fell into deep thought, with her hands resting on her waist, her index finger pointing rhythmically on her skirt, "There is indeed such a thing, and no one has mentioned it for a long time. , but I think I know something."

"What is it?" Noah restrained his excitement, lowered his head and stared at the ground.

"I don't know exactly what that is, but when my grandfather was still alive, he used to be the butler of the castle, and when I was young, I liked to run around in the castle, and then once, I walked along the flower wall fence The hole got into the backyard." Clara stopped talking suddenly, and frowned at the two children, "I don't think I should tell you about this."

"Then let's go to the backyard to see for ourselves at night." Noah showed a harmless smile.

"Hey! You kid," Clara cried, looking helpless, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if I tell you, because I really don't know what that baby is, but my grandfather told me that the one behind the castle Servants are not allowed to enter the small courtyard, he said that His Highness will take care of it himself."

"Well, it seems that the piece is just to satisfy His Royal Highness Austin's occasional gardening addiction." Noah pretended to be very disappointed, "I thought there was some big news."

The two boys ran out from the back kitchen, and they had already obtained the information they wanted. At this point, compared to the simple hope of doing something for Yan Zhao at the beginning, Noah's chest still ignited a little curiosity—— He's like a little explorer with a map in hand, eager to find hidden treasures.

"You shouldn't be so excited," Eden reminded.

However, even so, the two of them ran to the backyard of the castle without hesitation.

To be honest, the land area of ​​Lodje Castle is not small, especially when it is surrounded by endless wilderness and bushes, and there are few people. "Giveaway".

This castle has a large backyard, but only one is surrounded by flower walls and fences - it is very close to the tower where Austin is located, and it can even be said to be behind it, but due to the height of the person next to him The fence blocked people's view.

From the outside, only a leafy oak tree canopy can be seen, other than that, there are vines, there are vines everywhere, they stick out from the small courtyard, climb along the flower wall, climb to the top of the tower. On the rock wall, a brown-green plant wall is formed.

"I can hear the sound of water." Noah said, meeting Eden's curious gaze, he added again, "With my vampire ears."

"Oh, this really makes you proud." Eden couldn't hold back his sarcasm.

While arguing, the two approached there. They followed the position Clara had mentioned just now, trying to find the hole in the broken flower wall, but, unfortunately, after so many years, those thorny thorns grew wantonly, almost To seal that hole.

"It would be great if I could go in through the door." Eden said, he raised his chin towards a rusty iron door not far away.

"Damn it, we don't have a key." Noah replied.

In the end, the two decided not to take any more risks, but chose to use the most primitive method to solve the problem of falling into the entrance. They used garden scissors and hands to separate the plants bit by bit from the thin thorns where there were holes before. , until both of them were sweating profusely, there finally revealed a hole just enough for a child to crawl into.

Noah threw away the scissors in his hand, took a deep breath, and crawled in.
