Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 141 You don't want me to be laughed at, do you?

"Ah, wait a minute!"

Under Susie's pitiful gaze, Audrey exclaimed and ran out of the room in the blink of an eye.When she came back after a while, she was still holding a pile of clothes in her hands, and said, "Susie, please close the door."

Susie stared at Audrey resentfully, but obediently stretched out her hind legs and closed the door.Watching the girl put the dress she was holding on the sofa, and casually grabbed a little loli beside her, and began to help her dress with bright eyes.

And the little Lolita who was caught did not resist, and let Audrey dress up like a doll.

Audrey explained while raising and lowering her hands:

"Well, these are my childhood clothes. I only wore them once, at the New Year's dinner in previous years. Ah, yes,"

Audrey's thoughts suddenly diverged, and she said with a serious expression:

"You have to prepare a dress, Ember!"

"why?"

Ember looked down at her clothes, and asked puzzled, "Can't I wear these clothes?"

With a straight face, Audrey said seriously:

"No problem at ordinary times, but no nobleman would wear the same set of clothes twice on a formal occasion! That would definitely make people wonder if your family is in financial crisis. If so, it's okay, but it's even worse. What's worse is that this might be considered disrespectful to the party host!"

Audrey solemnly repeated what she had been taught by the personal maid Anne, and finally added, "Greint told me that he complained several times, because you wear the same clothes every time you attend a party, and he still I specifically asked you if you had any opinions on him. This made him feel lost for a while, so he never dared to ask you to buy potion formulas."

"what?"

Ember asked puzzledly, "Didn't Fors wear the same set of clothes? Every time it was the beige one..."

"Different."

Audrey explained earnestly, "Miss Forsi simply likes beige, but the lace decoration of the dress is different. It's like the first time she wore a ruffled dress with a stand-up collar, and the second time It's a court-style dress, and the third..."

"stop."

Ember interrupted Audrey's chatter, and said calmly, "Then I am the same."

"Well?"

Audrey looked at him suspiciously, "Has your clothes changed in any way?"

Ember argued calmly:
"No, I just prepared many sets of the same clothes. It looks exactly the same, but every day it's a brand new set."

Audrey gave him a blank look, and she knew that Ember was talking nonsense without guessing. Could it be that someone would prepare many sets of the same clothes?No way no way?

Audrey's attitude was extremely firm, and she said without giving in:

"I don't have any objections if it's Grellint's party, but if you attend the New Year's party, you must wear a new dress!"

"alright."

Ember clicked her tongue and said casually, "I'll go buy a set in two days."

"No."

Audrey raised her light-white index finger and said seriously, "The dresses for formal occasions must be custom-made, because many of the clothes sold in the store are of the same style, and many middle-class people wear such clothes. If you wear such If you go to the New Year's party with your clothes, you will definitely be looked down upon."

After a pause, it seemed that Ember was not afraid of this, and added, "And I, who is walking with you, will also be implicated by you, and you don't want me to be laughed at because of you, do you?"

"alright."

Ember shrugged, "Then I'll find someone to customize a set in two days."

"No need."

Audrey blinked, smiled and said:

"There are several tailors in the Hall family, just like Mrs. Genia designed dresses for me and my mother when I was very young. This suit on me was designed by Mrs. Genia for my 17th birthday. Dad and Each of the brothers has a tailor. After all, they are the Hall family's external signs, and the external image is very important. Well, he wants to use the tailors of Dad and Hibbert, but Alfred is not in Backlund now, you Use his tailor."

Ember touched his chin, and asked thoughtfully:

"Is this true of every nobleman?"

"of course."

Audrey said seriously, "For any nobleman, face is very important. If a nobleman wears a piece of clothing several times in multiple banquets, it can only show that the nobleman does not respect the host of the banquet. , and nearly bankrupt."

"This will not only seriously affect the face and reputation of the proof noble, but also affect the judgment of other nobles. If everyone thinks that he is close to bankruptcy, no matter what he does, he will not succeed, and it will be difficult to get the approval of other nobles. support."

"I don't doubt that the Hall family has such financial resources, but can other nobles really do it?"

Facing Ember's inquiry, Audrey just shook her head and explained softly:

"Gowns can only be worn once, but they can be resold! Such clothes are quite popular among the middle class and those wealthy businessmen, because they are only worn once, and they are worn by nobles, so sometimes they can even be sold. It was auctioned for a higher price than the original price."

"Well, of course, if this kind of thing is discovered, it will also affect the reputation of the nobles. But for those nobles with not very good finances, it is indeed a quite feasible path. Alright!"

While explaining to Ember, Audrey didn't stop moving her hands, and skillfully dressed Sister Kulala.At this time, she was lovingly stroking the heads of the two little lolis beside her, and her green eyes were shining brightly.Ember followed the prestige and saw that the Kulala sisters who had successfully 'transformed' had delicate faces like twins, and bright silver long hair that almost reached to the heels.

The difference is that Audrey may have deliberately distinguished them, and they were wearing black and white princess dresses respectively.

Until this moment, Audrey suddenly remembered an important question and asked curiously:
"What are their names?"

"Kurala and Kuraris."

Ember said softly, "They are a pair of sisters, even after they die, their graves will still be next to each other."

"Don't say such spoiling words!"

Audrey gave him an annoyed look. Although she knew that the ashes of their sisters were in your hands, saying such things at this time would be a little too unpleasant!Moreover, although Extraordinary people also have the extraordinary ability to manipulate corpses and spirit bodies.But using ashes to summon a spirit body is a bit too evil, right?

However, transforming~
Audrey turned her eyes to Susie, who was looking at her eagerly, and suddenly felt a little regretful.The Audience Path doesn't seem to have the ability to do this. If Susie hadn't accidentally taken the Audience Potion by stealing it, she could have prepared the Assassin Path Potion for Susie.

Susie seemed to understand Audrey's eyes, and wagged her tail a little wronged and innocent.

Audrey sighed softly in her heart, looked at Ember with some excitement, and asked excitedly:

"Ember, can I take them to the garden to play for a while?"

"of course."

Ember smiled and nodded, "If Kulala and the others have no objections."

"Kurala, Kuraris."

With a look of anticipation in Audrey's green eyes, she reached out to the pink and jade-carved twin sisters, "Can you go to the garden with me?"

The two little lolis looked at each other, and stretched out their little hands to put on Audrey's palm.

The corners of Audrey's mouth curled up a little bit, showing an elegant and bright smile, and she left the room holding the hands of the two little girls with a little excitement.Only embers and Susie, who was lying on the ground with her head bowed and sad, were left behind.

"Susie, follow up!"

Susie's eyes lit up, she immediately glowed with vitality, and followed her with a wagging tail.

"Miss Audrey, ah! Who are they?"

"Wow~ so cute!"

"Miss Audrey, can I touch them?!"

As soon as Audrey left the room, she was surrounded by maids in the corridor, and they all looked at Sister Kulala with little stars in their eyes.But the maids obviously know how to measure. Although surrounded, they didn't stop or slow down Audrey's pace, and they didn't attack rashly. They just watched eagerly from the side - just like the current one. Susie, she was blocked by the excited maids outside the human wall, unable to squeeze in at all, and could only watch helplessly.

In order to avoid the crowd, it took a while for Ember to leave the living room. When he went downstairs to the living room, Hibbert, who was reading the newspaper, was looking at him strangely, hesitant to speak. appearance.

Ember walked over and sat down on the sofa beside him, and asked proactively:
"what do you wish to ask?"

Hibbert asked curiously, "Is that your daughter?"

"No."

"I don't look like it either."

Hibbert nodded knowingly. After all, a noble boy at Ember's age may be merciful, and may even have illegitimate children, but it is impossible to have two eleven or twelve-year-old daughters.

Hibbert looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "Are they Extraordinary?"

Ember nodded slightly.

Hibbert immediately understood, no wonder he didn't see these two little girls coming in just now, if they were Extraordinary, it would totally make sense.

Hibbert immediately corrected his expression, put on the appearance of the first comer, and asked seriously:
"Which path are they? What sequence?"

Although he is an older brother, when it comes to the matter of 'Extraordinary', he is just a 'younger brother' in front of Audrey's younger sister.He didn't understand many things, so he could only ask Audrey or Ember.Although it wasn't embarrassing, it still made Hibbert a little depressed—how could he be the 'younger brother' even though he was the oldest?

And now that he finally saw the two little girls, this immediately made him feel like showing off and comparing himself.

Ember took a deep look at him, immediately saw through his thoughts, and said unhurriedly:

"Assassin path, Sequence 7."

"..."

Hibbert's expression froze, and he immediately froze. Why is his personal sequence higher than him!Ember and Audrey can't compare, why can't he even compare with two eleven or twelve-year-old little loli?
I thought it was great to be an Extraordinary, but it turns out that everyone is an Extraordinary.Are Extraordinary people so worthless?Moreover, these are still two Sequence 7s, and the Beyonder materials needed to purchase potions alone cost upwards of [-] pounds.He does not lack money, but it is not so easy to cultivate a Beyonder of this level.

"How is your potion digested?"

Seeing Hibbert's appearance, Ember took the initiative to change the subject.

"almost!"

Hibbert immediately cheered up, and said happily, "In another week, at most half a month, my potion will be completely digested."

Ember asked thoughtfully, "Where's your pharmacist?"

Hibbert sighed softly:

"Poor Laurent didn't make it through. I gave his family a thousand pounds as compensation. However, Alvin succeeded. After I had done dozens of divinations, I chose a zodiac that Emperor Roselle said On an auspicious day, he successfully became a Extraordinary, a pharmacist."

Ember nodded without any trace, and said:

"You have to be careful, if he says he heard the so-called oracle..."

"rest assured."

Hibbert said without hesitation, "Irwin is a faithful believer of the goddess. If he really heard the so-called oracle, I will take him directly to St. Samuel's Cathedral and let him be baptized."

As he spoke, Hibbert had a teasing look in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Audrey told me when she came downstairs just now, asking me to lend you Alfred's tailor to prepare a dress for you. It's about time, let's go."

"In such a hurry?"

Ember looked at Hibbert in surprise, "Don't you have to work today?"

Hibbert shrugged and said helplessly:

"Of course there is work, but the people below will take care of it. I'm just a secretary, and I'm only responsible for the final summary and reporting. And I'm more afraid that Audrey will express my slack to me than being reprimanded for making mistakes in my work. Dissatisfied, I'm just such a younger sister. And, "

After a pause, Hibbert added, "There is only less than half a month left for the New Year's party, and the time is a bit tight. If it is delayed for another day or two, no matter how good the tailor's dress is, it will be too late."

"Okay." Ember sighed, and stood up from the sofa that hadn't been heated yet.

"Wait a moment."

Hibbert shook his head with a serious face, his eyes darkened, his gaze retracted, he took out a coin with his right hand, and flicked it into the air with a bang.

"It's time to go out today."

"It's time to go out today."

"Snapped!"

Hibbert quickly repeated this statement, reached out to catch the falling copper coin, and saw that George III's head was facing upwards.

"Very well, let's go."

Hibbert nodded in satisfaction, stood up from the sofa, and at the same time took off the coat on the hanger next to him.

"Want to go out?"

Seeing this scene, Ember couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly.

"of course."

Hibbert shrugged and said frankly, "The villa is so big that it can't accommodate so many people, so there are only dozens of servants here. Most of them are in suburban manors. Tailors are not usually used, so they are naturally arranged. At the manor."

After a pause, Hibbert said with some distress, "Wait a minute, let me think about where is Alfred's manor? Well, it seems to be next to my manor. Huh? Where is my manor? ?”

Ember shook her head helplessly, should it be said that she is worthy of being the nobleman who is the largest banker in the country?

Queens is an aristocratic area, but it is also a villa area.With Sodlac Palace as the center, circles of villas spread out to the periphery.But for the nobles, it is not enough to have a villa in the urban area. They must at least have their own family territory and a manor located in the outskirts of Backlund.

Villas are used for living, while manors are only occasionally used for large gatherings.Although most aristocrats may not be able to use their manors in the suburbs, having and not having them are completely different things.

Because only when these three things are complete, can one be considered a real nobleman.Otherwise, it is the same as wearing the same dress twice, and it will be seriously doubted about its financial health.And when a nobleman is suspected of his financial situation, it often means that he will be kicked out of that circle, and this blow will be devastating.

So even though Hibbert has not yet inherited the title, and Audrey is even underage, the three brothers and sisters all have their own manors, even though they often don’t visit them even once a year—this is why Hibbert even owns his own manor. I can't remember where the manor is located.

Finally, after Hibbert finally remembered that his driver should remember the location.The two drove through the streets in a carriage, detoured from the area with the artificial lake to the northwest, and after spending more than an hour, they finally arrived at a very large manor located in the northern outskirts of Queens.
-
West End, Edward Street, 6.

Ikanser Bernard pressed his black top hat, pointed to the gate of the house behind the fountain pool, and said to Klein, Essinger and Kaslana:

"We checked in reverse the various channels through which the news and data were leaked, combined with the profile of the drawn profile, and, with the additional help of the magic mirror, initially locked down a suspect."

When you mentioned the magic mirror, you obviously paused, and you didn't know what price to pay to get the answer you wanted... Klein sensed the problem with Ikanser's tone, and somehow sympathized with him.

The reason why Ikanser called these wild Extraordinary people to investigate the case together was because all three of them were involved in this case.At first it was because of the serial murder case, but halfway through Klein guessed that the murderer might not be human.

But before the official Extraordinary could react, the demon dog was found dead at another murder scene—it was said that it was another dog who killed the demon dog in a "be brave" manner.

This case should have ended here, but because of Klein's outstanding performance, the official Extraordinary asked him to analyze it again.As a result, Patrick Jason, the owner of the house, was involved, and even the detectives received death threats for this.

Asking them to investigate the case, on the one hand, really needs their professional ability.On the other hand, there are also considerations to protect their personal safety.

"It's really unlucky enough."

While listening to Ikanser's introduction, Klein thought silently in his heart, "If I didn't want to keep this identity just in case, I probably would have just run away."

While investigating the villa, Klein suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

He turned his head almost subconsciously, and saw Ikanser, and at the same time, he was a little surprised to find a familiar face beside him.But now he can easily control his expression, just greeted with a smile:

"Good morning sir."

Ikanser took the initiative to introduce:

"This is Mr. Sherlock Moriarty, an excellent detective. He helped us find Patrick Jason. This is Dunn Smith, the Nighthawk of the Church of Evernight."

"Hello, Detective Sherlock."

Dunn reached out his hand and took the initiative to shake Klein symbolically, with a hint of surprise and confusion on his expression.
