Devil's Journey

Chapter 196 The Kitchen Thief
In addition to the physical defense, Modo Castle also has a triple array defense inside and outside. The outer layer is mainly a defensive array for war, the inner layer is a magic array for both war and infiltration, and the innermost layer is completely for infiltration and the like. circle.

The magic circle was arranged by Julian, Ya'er, and Alice. It was a powerful magic circle built by mixing magic, this world and even mutant magic. Even a legendary wanderer would find it difficult to sneak in unknowingly.

But for a demigod-level demon lord, such a magic circle is really not enough. Don't look at Satania as a waste in other places, but for lurking, escaping, danger perception, etc., Satania is very good. As expected of a lord-level demon.

Well, although it is still very embarrassing, it is still a skill.

But Satania doesn't feel ashamed, or she's used to it for a long time. After sneaking into the castle, she originally just wanted to steal some bread and taste it, but somehow she foolishly abducted In the inner city, he unconsciously slipped into the kitchen of the lord's mansion.

As night falls, after dinner time is over.

"Eh? Noelle, haven't you resigned yet?" Several resigned girls curiously asked the girl who was still practicing swordsmanship.

"Um, no, I...I want to practice for a while." The girl who spoke was wearing a combat maid outfit, with a pair of rosettes on both sides of her pink short hair, and her pretty cheeks were sweaty and jerky.

After several companions left, the somewhat nervous Noelle breathed a sigh of relief, then raised the epee in his hand, and continued to practice swordsmanship.

"Don't slack off, Noelle, it's not so easy to become an official maid of the Maid Order, come on!"

It wasn't until midnight that Noelle put away the great sword, but she didn't immediately return to the dormitory of the maids, but turned to the kitchen not far away.

There are a total of three kitchens in the Lord's Mansion, namely the first-class kitchen serving the master and wives, the second-class kitchen providing catering for official maids, and the third-class kitchen providing food for the preparatory maids. Naturally, the grades are different.

Oh, by the way, in Modo Castle, a maid is equal to a witch, and also equal to a saint. Even the Patriarch often wears various beautiful maid outfits to serve his master, so in Modo Castle, a maid means status.

This also caused the servants in other families not to dare to be called maids, and they all became maids and other titles. Although they are similar, if anyone dares to call their own servants as maids, it is undoubtedly overstep.

Before the Maid Order, no, it should be the Holy Maiden, before the Holy Maiden Order makes a move, Director Ron of the Modo Statistics and Investigation Bureau will come to the door.

The residents of Modo City have all experienced great turmoil, and then saved their lives by actively converting to the great Holy Lord, and even became rich. Except for the bureaucrats, they are the people who serve the Holy Lord, religious groups, bureaucrats, etc. , of course not so stupid.

Noelle's experience was also somewhat bumpy. Her parents died in the turmoil. She followed the villagers to avoid the invasion of demons. A wandering knight rescued them and told them that there was a human shelter here.

Although I didn't know until I came here that this place was actually a territory established by an evil Holy Master, but it was impossible to leave. The entire team of refugees was forcibly recruited, and then several high-spirited preparatory saintesses came from Noelle was selected from the refugee team.

However, because Noelle later passed the assessment to prepare for the saintess and was able to stay in the saintess congregation, her vagrant team was quickly promoted from slaves to householders, which means it was included in the ten thousand household system.

That's why Noelle attaches great importance to her identity, and she is meticulous about her work. After leaving the job, she will practice diligently. The goal is to be promoted to an official maid as soon as possible, oh, an official saint, but it's almost the same.

Modo is officially called a saint, privately called a maid, and those who hold hatred call them a witch, the minion of the devil.

Noelle really likes the title of maid, and also likes to work and take care of people. It's a pity that the preparatory maids belong to the stage of training and learning. Except for some chores, they seldom serve the master directly. The big people who usually contact the most are the four Among the head maids, Senia is the most numerous.

Although the tall giant cat head maid looks more like a robber girl, she is quite bold and ready to be loved by the maids, followed by the gentle Sylvia, then the somewhat indifferent Sharna, and finally the stern one. Shirley.

But what Noelle admires the most is Shirley, the head maid. Shirley is meticulous in her work and handles all kinds of internal affairs in an orderly manner. She can be said to be the most perfect head maid in Noelle's eyes.

Back to the second-class back kitchen where he works, Noelle plans to check carefully again to see if everything is cleaned up, whether the ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast are properly prepared, whether the storage is
"Eh?" Noelle stopped to check with some doubts, it seemed that something was missing, no, she only checked seriously when she left the job.

Noelle, who noticed something was wrong, hurriedly counted it again. Under the dim oil lamp, Noelle's face was serious. It was indeed wrong, and a lot of food was missing.

"Thirteen pieces of white bread are missing, five pieces of big sausage are missing, three pieces of roast chicken are missing, two pieces of bacon are missing, uh, carrots, cucumbers, cabbage? What about peppers? There is also one jar of honey and one bottle of ketchup."

Noelle, who became more and more confused, even thought for a moment that this was the consumption of today's dinner, rather than entering the thief, but the problem is
Where would thieves steal these things? !
Of course, there are no kitchen thieves, but how could such thieves enter the lord's mansion? Could it be that one of the maids guards and steals?

Noelle's expression became serious, no, such acts of damaging the reputation of maids must be stopped, the holy maid order was established to serve the Supreme Lord of Destiny, and such acts are absolutely not allowed to exist.

Then Noelle held the oil lamp and held the big sword in her back hand, and began to search for clues. Not long after, she followed the traces left by the thieves from the back kitchen to the depths of the storage room, and then stared at a The drunken red-haired girl hugged a half-gnawed pumpkin and fell asleep soundly and sweetly.

At the girl's feet, there were still several bottles of wine used as seasonings, and the jars containing honey, tomato sauce, and salad dressing were all empty, so she was really not picky about food.

As for the leftovers of food, they were also thrown everywhere, and a lot of food in the storage room was also destroyed, and the bones of pickled fish were all piled up. The scene looked dumbfounding.

Noelle, who hung the oil lamp on the wall next to her, was a little confused for a moment, not knowing what to do with it. Such a thing was too strange, and how could a smaller girl eat so much.

Some couldn't believe it and looked at the red-haired girl's belly, um, it was a little swollen, if it wasn't for pregnancy, it could only be full of food.

Noelle scratched her cheek, hesitantly thinking whether to subdue the sleeping girl first, or to notify her instructor first.
