Shadow Apostle

Horst now felt sympathy for Miss Jessica Berndt.

The Burnt family is really in decline.

The eldest daughter of a count family would actually gnash her teeth for twenty luka, and even want to use thermal weapons to attack others.

What a tragedy for a noble family.

And didn’t I return the money to you? Why are you still staring at me secretly?

This girl is still so vindictive.

The two were sitting opposite each other in the Berndt family's carriage, and Jessica's personal maid was also accompanying them.

The rules of aristocrats are always very complicated. There are strict rules on when you can be alone and on what occasions you must be accompanied by a maid. A slight mistake may cause a huge scandal.

But it must be admitted that nobles do enjoy it. Just the clothes they wear are enough to say it all.

Horst felt that they looked no different from the cheap ones he had used before, but when he put them on, he realized that they looked upright and stiff on the surface, but they didn't feel tight at all. It was just like wearing loose pajamas. Just as comfortable.

And he seems to be quite handsome. I don’t even recognize such a handsome young man myself.

Horst looked at himself in the mirror with a satisfied smile, but when he looked up, he saw Jessica covering her mouth and snickering.

"Master Christian's skills are absolutely fine, don't worry, Mr. Horst."

Jessica bit her lip and chuckled, her eyes roamed Horst's body repeatedly, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"It's really amazing. How much money this outfit costs is definitely not something Luka can handle."

"You don't need to know this. Please let the Berndt family keep a little secret." Jessica thought for a while, wrinkled her nose and added, "Anyway, it's a price you can't get back even if you deceive people ten times. You Do you still want to return the money to me after asking so clearly?"

"That's not true." Horst raised his eyebrows and said deeply, "But if you ask the price clearly, you can have a greater sense of accomplishment when you feel proud in the future."

Creak, creak, creak~

Just when Miss Burnt was struggling with her teeth and handkerchief, the carriage gradually slowed down.

Lifting the curtains and looking out the car window, the environment in the Iris District is still so beautiful.

Under the two-color moonlight, crimson and silver, there was an endless stream of gorgeous carriages, heading towards the same goal.

A huge foreign-style mansion nearly a hundred meters long.

Outside the flower bed in front of the mansion, just as the Berndt family's carriage slowly stopped, other visitors around saw a man and a woman jumping out of the carriage.

Everyone recognizes the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Burnt family, but this man doesn't look like an ordinary attendant...

Miss Berndt supported the maid's arm and also got out of the car. As soon as she landed, the man immediately leaned over and blocked Miss Berndt with his body. In the movement, his coat flowed up, revealing the shining silver revolver inside.

With a gun?

The man looked around quickly, then removed his hand from the handle of the pistol and stood next to Miss Burnt. Miss Burnt smiled gratefully at him and walked towards the main house with her skirt in hand. .

"bodyguard?"

"Did she find someone from the church to protect her? I heard that she is still a formal member of the church."

"It's possible. I heard that something happened to the Berndt family recently. It seems that a housekeeper died."

"Oh, you have to bring bodyguards with you when you go out. The Earl's family is just different from small families like ours."

"That's right, the lord may not always bring bodyguards with him when traveling."

For a time, whispers that were indistinguishable from good intentions and malicious intentions were heard all over the garden in front of the door, making Horst feel that they were as ubiquitous as the mysterious voices coming from the fantasy world.

Out of sight of the crowd, Horst and Jessica exchanged glances.

"Mr. Bodyguard, the safety of Carmen and I depends on you." Miss Berndt's long eyelashes swayed, and there was cunning hidden in her eyes.

"The terrain here is complicated, the people are chaotic, and unexpected situations may happen at any time. It is really difficult to protect the safety of you two..."

"Then I won't give you any extra money."

"Tsk, then I'll go back to the car and take a nap."

Speaking casually, Horst half-blocked Miss Berndt and quickly looked around like a real bodyguard.

No abnormalities were found.

In addition to appearing extremely rich.

The majestic building was brightly lit, and the vast courtyard was as far as the eye could see. Gorgeously dressed men and women stood or sat in groups in the courtyard, talking softly.

No one was pointing fingers, but from time to time someone turned their attention to the two of them.

After just a few glances, the two servants responsible for welcoming guests were already running down the long stairs of the mansion.

"At Earl Burnt's residence, Miss Jessica Burnt has arrived."

Amidst the sound of registration, someone quickly came out from the main house to welcome him.

The person who came out with several servants was wearing a gray tuxedo. He was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, with neatly combed hair and beard, and a serious expression.

"The eldest daughter of the Burnt family is here, and everyone in this house is deeply honored."

Before the person arrived, the voice had already arrived. A few meters away, the middle-aged man took off his hat, put it on his chest and bowed deeply. His voice was loud and full of energy:

"Miss Burnt, please come in and take a rest. Mrs. Rose from Earl Tristan's family and Miss Casey from Viscount Morlett's family have arrived and are creating in the art room."

"Your Excellency, Viscount, don't bother." Miss Bernt said with a faint smile, "Something happened at home recently. My mother was worried about my safety and asked me to have security personnel around me. I will not disturb Mrs. Rose and Mrs. Rose. Kathy and the others are here, I can just go to the library to rest for a while, and then I’ll say hello to them in the restaurant later.”

After saying that, the two of them nodded to each other, and Viscount Star made a gesture of invitation and bowed.

Miss Berndt smiled gratefully and walked past the Viscount under the escort of Horst. She seemed to have lost her footing and tilted to the side.

Horst quickly stretched out his hand to support him, but accidentally moved a little too much and touched the Viscount's outstretched hand.

A long-planned encounter.

In other words, half of the purpose of this trip is for this contact.

At the time of contact, Horst's will was entirely devoted to spiritual induction.

Try your best to sense the mystery surrounding the other person.

So, at the moment of contact, he seemed to see an extremely strange existence in front of his eyes.

The broad head and big eyes look like a giant frog.

Its shadow was squatting behind Viscount Star, motionless.

It's like falling asleep.

But the moment Horst sensed him, the shadow suddenly opened its eyes.

A pair of huge protruding eyes looked over from the void with emotionless eyes.

At the moment when their eyes were about to meet, the feeling was cut off.
