The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Accompanied by music that has never been heard before, the mansion suddenly appeared.

Is there a more suspicious and dangerous place than this kind of place?

Even the beautiful music sounds like the temptation from the devil.

"What are you afraid of? Aren't you here? Hurry up, and I'll go by myself."

"Little miss..."

The helpless William finally turned the carriage around.

Not long after, the Ross family's luxurious carriage stopped around the suspicious mansion.

With William's support, he got off the carriage, Brenda glanced roughly at the mansion, and his eyes lit up.

The mansion itself is naturally "shabby" compared to the mansion of the Ross family.However, the atmosphere of this mansion is unique.

The indifferent mist surrounds the mansion, and the afterglow of the sunset at dusk complements the mist, making the whole mansion seem to emit a strange light.

Unlike his own lady who was excited, William naturally seemed more embarrassed.

"According to the rumors, there will be a girl dressed as a housekeeper to welcome you at the gate of the mansion..."

Seeing that his young lady really wanted to go in, William inevitably went on and on again.But still can't stop the opponent.

In desperation, William had no choice but to hold an umbrella and hurriedly followed behind Brenda.

The gate of the mansion leading to the courtyard is open.

Not long after stepping in, the two saw an elderly gentleman in a housekeeper's uniform, using a silver watering can to water the shrubs on the edge of the courtyard.

Brenda poked her dull butler, and William bit the bullet and stepped forward to talk.

"Excuse me, here is..."

William walked up to the elderly gentleman, and just as he opened his mouth, he saw the elderly gentleman slowly raised his hand that was not holding the water bottle, and gently pressed it to his mouth, signaling to keep silent.

The elderly gentleman's movements seemed to have a magical power that one couldn't resist.

As a result, not only William immediately stopped talking, but even Brenda didn't willfully urge him again.

The two just imitated the behavior of the elderly gentleman, raised their chins slightly, closed their eyes as if they were intoxicated by the melodious music coming from the mansion.

Really nice tune.

William, who was not very interested in music before, listened to the clearer melody seriously, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

Although William didn't have any musical accomplishments, he had served as the housekeeper of the Viscount's family for more than [-] years, so he was well-informed.

He believes that a piece of music only needs to have an amazing melody that makes people want to continue listening to it. After listening to it, the impression is deep, and one of the three items is the first excellent work.

And the piece of music he heard now not only achieved all three items.It also gave William the idea of ​​wanting to continue listening like this.

But unfortunately, the short piece of music ended soon, and William and Brenda quickly returned from their immersion.

Listening to the sound of the last note gradually dissipating, the two subconsciously wanted to applaud.But they immediately realized that the pianist was not in front of them at all.So they showed the embarrassing situation of raising their arms halfway and not knowing where to put them.

On the other side, as the music ended, the elderly gentleman faced the two of them with a gentle smile.

"You two are welcome."

"Uh, ahem... Excuse me, is this a restaurant?"

William then asked the previous question.

Then, he saw the elderly gentleman, first showed some surprise, then put on a look of helplessness, and finally said,

"The restaurant...? It really has become a strange rumor. However, it doesn't matter if you both regard this place as a restaurant. After all, coming here is the young master's guest, and we will entertain you both wholeheartedly."

The elderly gentleman bowed slightly, first made a gesture similar to saluting, and then made a gesture of invitation to the two of them.

Is it a restaurant?Can you make it clear?

William looked at the elderly gentleman with some dissatisfaction, and really wanted to ask a question.

However, after seeing his young lady's eyes sparkle and she was completely addicted to this kind of mysterious feeling, she didn't speak in embarrassment.

Looking at the elderly gentleman who was already leading the way in front of him, William felt inexplicably disgusted with him.

He didn't say much, and after being secretly kicked twice on the calf by Brenda, William had no choice but to follow the elderly gentleman to the direction of the main building.

After walking a few steps, the music suddenly sounded again.

Although it is a completely different type of music from the previous ones, this one also firmly grasped the hearts of the listeners from the very beginning.

It was also at the same time as the music was resounding, accompanied by bursts of light "swish" sounds like the sound of the wind, from among the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, a large number of fluorescent butterfly-like things flew out at the same time.

"Are these... all phantom beasts?"

When William's vigilant guard was about to encounter any attack, Brenda rushed in front of him, and approached the elderly gentleman to initiate a conversation.

"Yes."

"There are, there are hundreds of them here... May I ask why there are so many phantom beasts gathered here."

Colorful, gorgeous but elegant fluorescence, and neat flight paths that seem to be dancing with the music.

Brenda was looking at the dreamlike scene being played out in the entire front yard of the mansion at this time, and completely forgot the vocabulary of noble etiquette, ladies and so on.

"Probably, it's because this is a city where people and magical beasts dance together."

The old gentleman not only didn't answer anything, but also answered deliberately, which naturally caused William to curl his lips again.

But on Brenda's side, her eyes were even more fiery.

Obviously, the other party's answer was poking her heart.

"Sir, are you the steward of this mansion?"

"Do not."

The elderly gentleman shook his head calmly,

"I'm just the master's gardener."

"!"

Facing the elderly gentleman's answer, Brenda showed a look of incomparable surprise.

Such an old man with the demeanor and temperament of a gentleman and aristocrat in the old days, even when he was old, he could still see his handsome face when he was young. , an old man who is like a model of aristocratic etiquette.

It turned out that he was just a gardener!

Brenda turned her head and stared fiercely like a ball, panting heavily, and occasionally took a look at William, who was wiping his sweat with a yellowish handkerchief.

It's like saying silently,

"Look at others, and then at you!"

...

...

Accompanied by the music, Brenda and William followed the elderly gentleman into the main building of the mansion.

Until now, because of the Riddler gardener, the two still haven't figured out whether this is a restaurant or not.

If they say no, the kanban at the entrance of the main building and the tables and chairs inside seem to tell them that they guessed wrong.But if it is said, there is no word on the signboard, and the restaurant is empty, with no customers or waiters at all.

The unique sound of the new instruments fills the restaurant with an indescribable tranquility.

Under the gesture of the elderly gardener, Brenda found a place she liked and sat down.Butler William stood behind Brenda's seat.

At this moment, Brenda could feel that she was very close to the nightingale player.The sound of the piano seems to be ringing in my ears.

However, there is a very low transparency curtain between the hall and the stage-like location.

Through the curtain, she could barely see a figure, as if sitting in front of a musical instrument and swaying gently.

This situation made Brenda even more itchy.

If she followed her past temper, she would definitely step forward and lift the curtain to see if it was the Earl whom she had admired for a long time.

But as mentioned above, the other party is very likely to be the Earl.

Brenda is very clear about the difference between willfulness and death.

After Brenda was seated, she was left to hang out for a few more minutes.However, she herself did not have the slightest awareness of this.Because, she has been listening to the music, and also thinks that this is the time specially reserved for her to listen to the music.

Soon after.

Following that, the second piece of music also came to an end, and Brenda once again fell into a state of not knowing whether to applaud or not.

Fortunately, the elderly gentleman gardener appeared by her side again at the right time.

"Please, two guests. Here is our menu."

The old gardener handed Brenda a small cardboard with an exquisite appearance.

After Brenda took a cursory glance at the cardboard, she froze.Because there is no word written on it.

"This is..."

Just when Brenda looked at the old gardener full of doubts, she saw the old gardener blink his right eye playfully.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, showing a dazed expression.

"Then I'll order, this dish and this dish."

Following the blank cardboard, Brenda tapped twice in a serious manner.

The old gardener was also very cooperative, making a gesture as if he was taking an order, and then said "please wait".

After the old gardener left, Brenda communicated with her housekeeper softly and cheerfully.

"The rumors are completely wrong! This is not a restaurant at all. In other words, those who entered this mansion by mistake before did it because the people in the mansion did not want to make them feel worried, so they carried out certain procedures like today. It is really hard to imagine how gentle the people in this mansion are. Not only did they not blame the intruders, but they also entertained them with heart. It is also hard to believe that people who have been here before, actually Would be stupid enough to spread rumors that this is a restaurant!"

Brenda said angrily.She thought that those rumors made her almost make a fool of herself in this mansion.

"Since it's not a restaurant, what kind of place is this place? Miss."

William asked a very pointed question.

then,

Then...he was ignored by his own lady.

Brenda leaned her arms on the table and continued to listen to the music with a smile on her chin.

She thought it would be nice if this was really a restaurant.

Because, in the past, when she was in another restaurant, she would always feel extremely bored during the period from ordering to cooking.But here, she couldn't feel the passage of time at all.

After a while, another piece of music ended.

And it was also during this interval that the gardener appeared again.

This time, he pushed a small dining cart over.

The old gardener brought only one dish, but this dish was so huge that it could occupy more than half of the table.

When the cover on the cooking plate was taken away by the gardener, accompanied by the heat, what Brenda saw was a dish that was golden yellow and looked like a crusty pie.It's just that the center of the "pie" bulges substantially, as if something is hidden inside the dish.

Just as William was routinely warning, and had a brief dispute with Brenda on the matter of "whether or not to test the drug".

Another piece of music began to play.

At the same moment, there was only a sudden "snap" sound. The center of the "pie" unexpectedly broke out of the "shell" at the same time, and three small birds exuding indifferent fluorescence, obviously Eudemons, hovered gracefully above the dining table.

Unlike William, whose heart almost stopped suddenly after being frightened by this sudden incident, Brenda couldn't hold back her excitement immediately after being startled, and clapped happily.

For the old aristocrats who are a little tired of meals, she really likes this "creative" dish.

With the third piece of music, there are not only birds and phantoms that break out of their shells.

The other Eudemons, who were already in various positions in the restaurant hall, also gradually appeared.

One of them looks like a squirrel, but its body is silver without losing the classic fluorescent phantom, which stirs Brenda's girlish heart.

She tried to call out to the phantom beast, and also tried to open her heart, but the squirrel phantom beast just refused to approach her for a long time.

Just when Brenda was slightly depressed, the considerate old gardener offered Brenda the second dish.

It looks like a simple dish like a half-peeled nut, but it unexpectedly has a great attraction to the phantom beasts in the field.

Brenda took the "cooking" in her hands, and then the phantom beasts, almost all in the shape of small furry animals, gathered over.

"Yes, can I touch them?"
