Creator's Steam Fairy

But under the surface, there are always many differences.

If you want to say the most terrifying thing in this world, then nothing can compare to Sasha's iron fist. Look, just thinking about it, her little head starts to ache. If this is not a supernatural phenomenon, what else is it? paranormal phenomenon.

The movement of Loria frowning and rubbing her head attracted the attention of the two girls, and Zooey asked with some expectation: "Loria, you should have been to many places and met many people, right? Ever seen a real ghost... paranormal?"

She didn't even dare to mention that word, but her little face was blushing, obviously looking forward to it... Loria was very curious about this young lady wearing the ultra-saving swimsuit her cousin prepared for her, and then being thrown into the sea by herself In the end, will it be the same as the one who obviously likes it but just refuses to admit it.

"I received an entrustment to go to Sheppey Island. It was an afternoon in spring. After several days of light rain, I finally saw the long-lost sun... At dusk, the small ferry I took arrived. On the island, I was trying to find something to eat, but the weather suddenly turned cloudy, as if it was night, and then it rained again."

"The heavy rain in spring? I have the impression that the river on the side of the big ship lock is still flooding. I heard that many places in the east have been flooded."

Ulea interjected, smiled apologetically, and offered a cup of tea with honey in a fawning manner.

"Yulia, shut your mouth and let Sister Loria tell the story."

Zoe's eyes are bright, and she is looking forward to the story of Loria. You must know that the weak and slender girl (pink hair who can make ghosts cry) went to a remote island alone (actually with her hairspray assistant) (Just at the mouth of the Isis River, less than two hours by boat) There was a sudden heavy rain, and it seemed that something terrifying was about to happen!

"After I got off the boat, I had to hide in the only restaurant near the pier. It was a place to entertain passing travelers and tourists. I heard from the people on the boat that it was the best restaurant on Sheppey Island...of course it is not as good as Long There are only two or three customers in Tinion’s high-end restaurants, but the signature pea pudding and scones with raisins are really worth trying...the thick puff pastry on the outside is delicious.”

Loria picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. Seeing that Uriah and Zoe wanted to eat right away, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and talked about where there was good food near Rondinium. With considerable experience and knowledge, I tried to write a review of cafes near Enfield and sent it to the Isis newspaper when I was fishing last month. I also earned my first draft fee in my life.

Hum, Miss Loria, a big step forward on the road to becoming a trendy food columnist.

"In short, I was eating scones and watching the rain by the window. Although it was dark and windy and windy outside, I felt happier in the warm room... I slowly finished a small plate of snacks but the rain did not stop. When I was worrying that I might spend the night on this island, I saw a figure approaching unsteadily outside the window."

Both listeners held their breaths, knowing that the climax of the story was coming.

"He walked in, soaked by the torrential rain, looking haggard with his gray hair plastered across his forehead. He ordered scones from the shopkeeper. . . . I ordered some scones, and then sat in the corner. I didn’t pay attention at first, but suddenly remembered that when he came in, the owner was not as enthusiastic as others, and even the other guests gradually realized that something was wrong... He sat In the corner, I was in a mess, but there was a warm smile on my face, I didn’t move at all, I just kept looking at the opposite place where there was no one and kept talking to myself.”

Zooey stared and asked, "No one?"

"No one, he comes in alone, sits alone, and talks to himself alone." Luria continued: "Maybe some people may suspect that he is crazy, or playing a prank or something, but judging from his words and Behaviorally, I feel like we can actually see what we can’t see.”

"Afterwards, he laughed and said that he had promised to go to sea today, and he had prepared a boat and learned how to sail."

"Later, he smiled and left in the storm."

Loria lightly raised her teacup, signaling that her story was over.

Zooey wrung her hands and muttered softly, "Is it true, sister Luria, that person really saw a ghost, right?"

And Yulea asked: "Actually, there is a follow-up, right?"

Loria nodded, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I was curious to ask the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper told me that the poor gentleman lost his daughter many years ago when a storm hit the island. , Whenever the weather is bad, he will come to the store to buy a snack that he would not even want to eat, and he will not move at all, and then go out to sea by himself...Will he come back again? Who knows. "

Ulea sighed softly: "It's really heartbreaking, actually...there are no ghosts in the story at all."

"do not have it?"

Zooey was still a little dazed, so Loria couldn't help touching her head and said, "There are no ghosts and ghosts in this world."

Zoe asked unwillingly: "Is there really no? What about abnormalities other than ghosts, such as demons, such as unknown monsters?"

"No, cutie, you have to believe in the light of reason and the power of science."

Loria smiled apologetically at Zoe who was pouting.

There are no demons in this world, only gas explosions.

The invisible daughter never existed from the beginning to the end, and the man who came to buy snacks every rainy day.

In fact, he died in the sea a few years ago.

Chapter 181 The Rainbow Potion That No Idiot Can Mistake

The three good friends chatted for a while, and finally dragged the time until it was close to dinner time. Zoe, who had long been impatient, urged Uriah to change her clothes for going out, and said that she would go to her aunt, and she could let her go tonight. Take the three of them to the theater to play.

According to the customary rules, underage Luria and Zoe should not run around when they are not accompanied by adult relatives and friends, especially for many public places.

It's just that Loria doesn't obey the rules like Zoe (the degree of abiding by the rules is inversely proportional to the distance from the headquarters of the Natural History Society), but whenever someone asks her age, she will hold her head high and say confidently. 'What's wrong with me just looking younger'.

No one would really embarrass her because of this.

When everything was ready, Uriah was planning to ask the butler to call the maids of Loria and Zoe who were resting elsewhere, but she couldn't find the butler until she saw her father, the current Earl of Luton, bringing People hurried out.

Didn't even notice the three of them.

Now even Zooey wisely stopped urging her, but stayed quietly with Luria, waiting for Uriah to ask about the situation.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Uriah walked back quickly, dragging the hem of her skirt, and said before stopping, "The Duke of Wellington has passed away."

Miss Zoe, who lived in Xihai since she was a child, tilted her head with a puzzled expression, and her hat almost fell to the ground.She didn't remember that there was a Duke relative in her family, and she was trying to recall the interpersonal knowledge she had learned not long ago.

Loria did know who the Duke of Wellington was and what he had done, but it was only a theoretical knowledge. She had never met him, and she couldn't really appreciate the impact of his death.

"He's a nasty old man, but he's also an out-and-out hero of the Empire."

Seeing Zoe's puzzled face, Uriah had no choice but to explain, from Duke Wellington's battles when he was young, to the glorious moment when he led the coalition forces of all countries to defeat Emperor Gallia; , until he became Prime Minister of the Conservative Party, but he angered everyone, including the Queen, by being ultra-conservative.From the carriage to the dining-room, from unloading the bread-basket to the waiter bringing the after-dinner refreshments.

Love, fear or loathe him, there is no denying the legendary sound of the Duke of Wellington.

In the end, Uriah glanced at Loria and said, "Your Excellency, the Duke, suffered a stroke ten years ago, and it seems to be on the verge of death. The reason why he can survive until today is all due to the potions bought with a lot of money from the Natural History Society."

"Eh? What magic potion!"

Zoe, who was eating mechanically the whole time, finally heard an interesting sentence, and thought of Luria's background, she immediately blinked her big eyes and stared at Luria without moving.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Loria put down her teacup, looked left and right and saw that no one was paying attention to their table, so she reached out and groped for a moment in the pocket of her remodeled petticoat—it’s best to put life-saving things close to her body...Since Mr. Wallace was infected with Since the sequelae of turning green all over when you get emotional, the 'doctor' specially improved the formula of the healing potion, the effect is not much different from the original one, but...

"found it!"

Luria took out two round glass bottles the size of jujubes, and the liquid inside swayed, blooming dazzling pure gold.

If you shake it hard, it will show a rainbow-like gorgeous light!

Now even if Miss Fen Mao loses her memory, she should know which bottle can save her life.

"As long as the life expectancy is not approaching, as long as there is still a breath, people can be saved."

While explaining, Loria gave the medicine to the two stunned girls.

"It's too precious."

They spoke in unison, but they didn't let go of their hands holding the bottle.

"This is a trial pack. If you need it next time, you will be charged. By the way, the second bottle is half price."

Luo Liya waved her hand and didn't care much. Hearing from the 'doctor', this thing is considered precious, but it's not to the extent that it can't be given as a gift. If it's not enough, you can ask him for it. One or two bottles a month can still be easily supplied. for her.

If you really introduce the used fat sheep, you can also give her a commission.

"By the way, the more you drink, the less effective the medicine will be. After three bottles, it will be almost useless."

That's why she didn't use it as a drink, and successfully stopped Zoe who was sticking out her little tongue and trying to lick it.

They chatted and laughed, and the topic changed quickly, and they no longer cared about the topic of the Duke of Wellington.

After all, the successive wars decades ago are too far away from them.

……

The silver-haired girl woke up on a dark, moonless night. The old and dark room gave her a vaguely familiar feeling...familiar, but absolutely disliked. She couldn't remember who she was, and where she was. It was just a faint pain in the chest and abdomen, like the pain caused by being penetrated and torn by a foreign body. After careful inspection, the pain scattered again, as if everything was just her illusion.

She straightened her white nightgown and tried to get out of bed, only to find that her body was abnormally stiff, as if she hadn't moved for a long time, as if she had been lying on this bed for a long, long time.

With the dim light of the candlestick, she saw her own face in the mirror, it was a young, bloodless, beautiful face, especially the brown pupils, which were strangely clear, and the long silver hair reflected the light, making this old The moon in the room.

long hair?

When did her hair grow so long?

The girl gestured to the mirror, she seemed very unaccustomed to having long hair that stretched to her waist, which made her look more slender and soft... It seemed that she was different from the past. kind of look.

The windows were sealed, and the door couldn't be opened. There was no food or weapons in the small room...weapons?Why would she think about those horrible things?

Pushing hard on the door and knocking on the window, although the silver-haired girl failed to leave the room, she quickly regained some strength.

She retreated into the corner by the bed, forcing herself not to find any weapons to defend herself, wrapping her hands around her knees, trying to shrink her body as much as possible, as if this would make her feel more secure.

If only I was like her, she could be folded into a small ball and easily stuffed into a suitcase or a cupboard... But who is she?A vague figure flashed across the girl's memory, and she had no clue when she wanted to think about it.

The sound of her activities finally attracted people, the overly thick door was opened from the outside, and in the dim candlelight, a man with a serious face, gray temples, and deep wrinkles on both sides of his nose appeared outside her room .

"who are you?"

"Friedrich Hoffmann, your adoptive father."

"who am I?"

"Alice Sulei, the child I picked up."

"This is where?"

"A resident of the True God Religion."

Chapter 182 No matter how dyed it is, it can't change the fact that it is pink hair

Who is this beautiful girl with light blonde hair?

There is no one in the world who can perfectly combine cute appearance, noble temperament and intellectual gaze!

Yes, it turned out to be me with dyed hair.

Early in the morning, Miss Loria held her face and fell into a deep state of intoxication.

After eating a lot of Hesse last night, Uriah took her and Zoe to a barbershop in Westminster that catered to ladies and wives.

The owner, Mrs. Muller, is said to be tired of running around after traveling around the world, and has nothing to do, so she decided to share her life's understanding of aesthetics with the ladies and wives of Londinian.

Of course, the price of sharing is a bit expensive.

But worth the money.

As a regular customer, Uriah simply trimmed her smooth long brown hair, and she looked as if... nothing had changed; according to the theory that Mrs. Being overcorrected, her hairstyle became too pioneering, as if she had a pineapple on her head, so that Luria decided not to be in the same frame with her as much as possible in the near future... Zoe liked the look very much.

As for herself.

Mrs. Muller said, "Miss Countess is already perfect, why not change her hair color to change her mood." '

There is no vain person under the reputation!

Miss Loria felt that this lady was indeed worthy of being a master of contemporary aesthetics!

If the hair color becomes less conspicuous, why not try some other collocations.

Facing the vanity mirror, Luo Liya skillfully rolled up her long hair and began to toss it. It didn't take long for her hairstyle and many accessories to be changed several times.

Sure enough, should blonde hair be paired with double ponytails?

The new personal maid, the little girl Paula stood behind Loria, she was dazzled, her mood was unavoidably depressed, and she blamed herself to some extent... The clumsy she was far from meeting the young lady's needs.

Even if she got up an hour earlier than usual, there was still not enough time. In the end, Luria, who was wearing a black seersucker dress, put a simple top hat with a dark blue ribbon on her head. Especially radiant.

All the way to the train and coach, when I arrived at the Natural History Society, I found that Miss Dorothy was standing at the door with Ugarte, the gatekeeper cat, waiting for her.

Before Loria could open her mouth to ask, Miss Dorothy, who was always showing the gentlest smile, took her into her arms and rubbed her, praising her: "Today is so cute, let me take a good look. "

Loria breathed a sigh of relief, she thought something big had happened.

Miss Dorothy let go of Loria when she was satisfied enough, and after arranging her dress a little, she said, "The president asked you to go to her office, all right, go quickly."

Luria's heart was raised again... Surely dyed hair won't be beaten, right?

It's not that she dyed herself to stand out from the crowd, to be different, to be colorful... It might be better to say that she became less conspicuous than before.

On the way to the clock tower, she found that many people who used to be familiar with her and greeted her now had to look at her a few more times, and it took a moment to realize who she was... These people are too much, they were all based on hair color before Can you tell her?

After a while, Luria tremblingly approached the president's office with her tail between her legs, which didn't exist at the moment. Sasha glanced up at her and said lightly, "It's cute, sit down."

How could he just let her go?It's incredible.

When she was seated, Sasha rummaged through a pile of documents and said, "You should know the news of the Duke of Wellington's death."

Loria nodded to show that she did know, and didn't think about how Sasha knew that she already knew.

The little dwarf in Loria's eyes continued absently: "The Queen plans to hold a state funeral for the Duke that is far beyond the previous specifications... Leaving aside the red tape, as a theoretical dominion, Earl Fries must personally attend the public funeral. memorial service."

Luo Liya nodded, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, but if Earl Fries attends in person, doesn't it mean that she will meet her wonderful mother whom she has never met before?

Sasha frowned, remained silent for a while, and then sighed softly. She looked a little weird and didn't look at Loria. She just looked down at the document in her hand and said, "So...Earl Fries has decided to retire. Don't worry about the formalities. , we'll take care of it."

"what?"
