Saint?Just a bad woman

The housekeeper finally gave in.

She was probably because she really couldn't find anyone else. The Graham family's predicament was probably well-known in aristocratic circles.

Those real magicians who are arrogant and self-proclaimed as noble will not help a family that is about to decline.

"Thank you, Melville."

Seeing that the housekeeper, who had taken care of her since childhood and felt like a mother, finally relented, Miss Graham finally smiled.

Then, she gave a concise and relatively detailed explanation of the appearance of the Graham family crest, its importance and symbolic meaning, the fact that the gems inlaid were all precious magic gems, and so on.

What she said was consistent with the information the housekeeper had revealed before, and was more detailed.However, one detail caught Santa Karina's attention... and that was about the lady's own curse, which she didn't say a word about.

"You must find my things before the moon gets angry tomorrow. Otherwise...my family, my marriage, everything will be too late...all the efforts will be in vain."

"I understand, Miss Graham. We will do our best to live up to your hopes."

Santa Karina nodded and left with Curtis.

They walked out of the Graham family's territory first.It's actually quite big here, with a very large mansion, a large garden and courtyard, and some precious handicrafts that seem to have a sense of age.The antique oil paintings and gemstone jewelry in the mansion are all valuable items.

If you use these to pay off debts, they are indeed worth a lot of money.

"Curtis, let's go collect some information with me first."

"What information?"

"You must have felt it, too. There are a lot of doubts about this commission to find something."

"Okay... I can't deny that as a member of the royal family, I know that marriage is important. However, no matter how valuable the family crest is, it is just a decoration. Regardless of whether it can be found or not, it should not affect the progress of the wedding. But...that Miss Graham talks about it as pessimistically as if she couldn't get married without it and everything was ruined."

If the heirs of nobles did not marry because of love, then the symbol and political purpose of their union would be more important.

"Compared with the delay of the wedding, I think she is more concerned about the things she accidentally lost..."

"Also, the wedding is next week. So it should be before next week. It's only Tuesday, why does it have to be within two days? We can provide more time."

232. People get stolen goods together

After that, Santa Carolina took Curtis to the streets to find out information.In addition to the passers-by near the mansion, there are also some dealers who sell information. Many people know about this matter, but after asking, not even one person knows the key points or the suspicious points point to a certain area.

Therefore, it is even more impossible to target a certain person based on intelligence summary.

Thanks to Miss Graham's high price and the Dryden family's request for the manservant to come forward to stop it, many people nearby knew about this matter.

"There is no useful information at all, these useless materials..."

Curtis was obviously not the kind of patient person, so she found the time for dinner. As night fell, she knew that all her previous efforts were in vain.

"No, on the contrary, this matter will probably be over soon."

Santa Karina smiled mysteriously.

"What do you say?"

"You and I will go to the Dryden family later and visit Miss Graham's fiancé. The truth will come to light."

"Okay. Santa Carolina, sometimes you are just like my father, you like to tell lies and the Riddler."

Curtis sighed, knowing that the answer would not be revealed until the end.

As for dinner, she is not interested in eating it now. She now wants to know the truth behind this commission.

The two paid the coachman on the roadside to take them to the Dryden family's mansion.

The city of Faroe is not small. Santa Karina is here for the first time after more than 500 years. Curtis is not interested in the position of a noble family. She has no ambitions and does not need to understand the families and influence distribution of each noble family. .

In front of the mansion is a metal door painted black. The door is a double-door design. There are carvings on the door, and the metal is made into beautiful patterns.Next to the door is a high wall made of silver-gray stone bricks.

"Who are you? This is the residence of the Dryden family. Have you received an invitation from the master or the young master?"

When the footman at the door saw the two people coming down, he first showed contempt, as if he looked down on people who knew how to use a rental carriage.Then, after seeing the appearance of Santa Carolina and Curtis, and the clothes they wore that looked like noble ladies, the tough attitude softened slightly.

He felt that maybe the two noble ladies secretly sneaked out to play in the rental carriage, although this was very inconsistent with etiquette and tradition.However, if it was a guest invited by the Dryden family, he could not make any judgment.

He even felt that the two aristocratic ladies might not be the aristocratic ladies of Faroe. Otherwise, why had he never heard of such beauty.

"It's like this. I am an adventurer who accepted Miss Graham's commission. Her family crest fell off. I want to come over and ask Miss Graham's fiancé about some details about that night."

Santa Karina's lips curled up with a hint of mockery, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, making Curtis think she did this on purpose.

Because, in order to do something consistent with her status as an adventurer, she didn't even show noble courtesy.

"Isn't she a noble lady...an adventurer? Ha, adventurer, what a funny word."

After hearing Santa Karina's self-introduction, the servant's originally polite smile turned stiff and weird for a moment, and then he completed the change of expression very naturally.His face was pulled down, and he looked very angry.

It was as if he was a bad guy who was deceived by two liars.

"I'm very sorry……"

His tone was deliberately long, but there was no apology in his apology.

"This is the residence of the Dryden family. It is the territory of noble masters and young masters. It is not a place where one or two so-called adventurers can come in at will."

"Adventurers, what are they? Dirty pariahs? The Dryden family has been an extremely noble noble in Faroe for generations. They have noble blood. Interacting with some pariahs who call themselves adventurers will dirty their blood."

He used his nose to snort harshly with disdain.

It's really embarrassing for him, with such rich body language and facial expressions.

"What did you say?"

Curtis was the first to lose his temper.

She has always thought of herself as noble, but now her bloodline is looked down upon by others.Oh, God, Curtis felt her fist harden.

"Of course I am saying that you untouchables are not qualified to see my master. No matter you are the master or the young master of the Dryden family, just letting you stand at the door of the mansion is already a gift from the Dryden family. Let alone go in. , even if I say a few more words, I feel like I am wasting air."

Of course, if he knew that the person in front of him was Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess of the Tolan Empire, who was deeply loved by His Majesty the Emperor, his face would definitely be different.

He would be so flattering that he could not wait to lower his head to lick the ground where the soles of Her Royal Highness the Princess's shoes stepped on, and brag about today's conversation to others for the rest of his life.

"Curtis, stop talking, let me do it."

"It doesn't matter who comes."

The manservant's nose was almost higher than his eyes, and he raised his head high to look down upon the two of them.

He probably heard the exchange between the two and heard the name Curtis, but he did not remember who the name belonged to.Or, he simply didn't bother to think that a princess would pretend to be an adventurer, choose to stand at the door, be stopped outside, and come to see his master without an invitation.

For a person of Her Royal Highness's level, if the master knows that she is coming, he will probably start preparations early in the morning, and then start laying out a red carpet, scattering flower petals, and firing a gun salute one kilometer outside the gate to welcome her.

That's the difference between the royal family and the Dryden family.

"You really don't know how to live or die. However, seeing your attitude, my guess has completely changed from a 90.00% success rate to [-]%."

Santa Karina showed a kind smile and looked at the contemptuous male servant.Her voice sounded like gold and iron, showing an edge like steel.

"As the saying goes, if you stay with dogs, you will also get fleas. I think your master should have been ready to terminate the engagement with Miss Graham."

"Who are you calling a dog? A pariah!"

"It keeps barking, it's not a dog."

Santa Karina's sarcasm made Curtis couldn't help laughing.After all, she had no intention of giving any face to a watchdog who dared to insult her.

And this laughter completely angered the male servant.

He has rolled up his sleeves and is no longer merciful.He intended to resort to violence, but with magic.

"Very good! You can say whatever you want to me, but you will regret today that you dared to insult the Dryden family's manservant, a decent gentleman. First of all, I am not using violence, but It is to protect. As a male servant, it is my duty to prevent untouchables from entering and desecrating every plant and tree of the Dryden family."

As he spoke high-sounding words, flames began to gather in his palms.

It was just a small flame at first, but soon it grew into a fireball the size of a basketball.

"combustion!"

Like an executioner who wanted to carry out the execution and serve as kindling for the fire, he hurled the fireball at Santa Carolina and Curtis.

"呲-"

"Zi-"

However, he didn't see the scene he longed for, in which the two of them were attacked by fireballs, burned until they were injured or suffered a worse punishment.

Before the fireball landed on Curtis, Santa Karina had already taken a step forward and stood in front of Curtis.

As a result, the fireball just fell in front of Santa Karina, and then, the two fireballs were like hot oil being doused, making the sound of cooling and extinguishing.

In the curls of white smoke, there was Santa Karina's contemptuous expression.

"Is this all you have? Then, it's my turn to show you. Holy Flame - Judgment."

When Santa Karina is at her strongest, it can cause the entire sky of Faroe and the city to rain down with flames, burning into carmine red clouds.

It is very easy to ignite a human being with just a finger and reveal the smell of barbecued bacon.

As a result, the manservant who blocked him was shot dead.

Next, Santa Karina teleported and took Curtis to the young master of the Dryden family.

He was hiding in his room. For this kind of information, it was very simple to just ask a servant casually, and under the threat of life and use the power of power to judge the authenticity of the information, it was very simple to find a young master with no abilities.

"You... who are you?"

A hugely transformed person came into the room, which startled the young master of the Dryden family.

It is said that the master of the Dryden family only gave birth to a son like him and had no other heirs.The old man had a son from old age, and he had long since left his affairs to his son to take care of everything. Therefore, it is almost as if he is the current head of the Dryden family.

Although the footman said that his master was noble, in fact, when the two came in, he was sitting on a chair at the center table.There are two murals hanging on one wall, one should be of his father or grandfather, and the other should be of the head of the Dryden family.

The mural framed in a glass frame is an oil painting painted by an artist.The painting was well preserved. The man in the painting had blond hair and blue eyes, deep eyes, and a beard. He was dressed very energetically and had a white bow tie around his neck.

Compared with the young master, he is more mature.

If you look closely, you will find similarities in their facial features.

The young master was indeed sitting on a chair at first, at least before Santa Karina and the others came in.Just now, because Santa Karina almost teleported and appeared in the blink of an eye, the young master with the same blond hair and blue eyes had already jumped in fright.

After seeing clearly that the visitors were two young ladies, they might also be incredible magicians.He cleared his throat without showing the arrogance of the male servant. He knew that if he took action, he would never be a match for these two young ladies who looked younger than him.

Take the hand's ability to transfer space and teleport as an example. Even a teacher from the Tolan Empire Magic Academy can do this with such ease, I'm afraid he can count them on one hand.

"Um, you two ladies... ahem, or rather the respected magician. May I ask if you have anything to do with me when you come to my mansion?"

His title was very modest.

In fact, he looks very handsome and young.However, Santa Karina has no interest in male sex. Moreover, his habit of squinting his eyes subconsciously even if he pretends to be respectful, as if he is calculating others, makes Santa Karina and Ke Teece didn't like it.

Looking at the decoration style of this room, the whole thing has a bright yellow or golden feel. The walls are painted in gold, the oil painting frame is gold, the table is pure gold, the edges of the chairs are also gold, and the leather parts are red. , the curtain fabric is the same red, but the curtain tie is made of gold.

Even the floor is made of golden floor tiles.

Santa Karina believes that if they were not worried about the taste of the Dryden family being said to be nouveau riche, they would be happy to use gold bricks to build walls and pave the floor instead of this noble and luxurious decoration style.

"Actually, we are adventurers called by Miss Graham."

When he heard the adventurer, the corner of his mouth twitched, obviously not wanting to believe that his respect was given to a mere adventurer.

And, Miss Graham, that name rubbed him the wrong way.

"You... couldn't be the helpers invited by that little girl, right? You used magic and violence to invade my home. Do you know what will happen if civilians invade a noble's mansion and threaten the male owner of the mansion? You guys Will be wanted.”

His brows furrowed and he began to assume a condescending and lecturing attitude.

"Before I plan to hold you accountable, you leave now. I can forgive you. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise? Do you still plan to threaten us? What are you going to do? You don't look like a swordsman, nor do you look like someone who is good at fighting. You don't look like an excellent magician. You can't even see through our magic.

In my opinion, you are just a spoiled aristocratic son-in-law. You are complacent when you have just obtained the power. You are addicted to your aristocratic status. When you want to get something, you only dare to pick pure and innocent girls and take advantage of others. , and also pretended to be arrogant, not wanting to get his hands dirty. "

Santa Karina talks eloquently, and she is gradually revealing an answer to the mystery, exposing the hypocrisy of this young master.

Underneath, there was absolutely no trace of the nobility and nobleness that he himself said, only a black heart like ink.

"What on earth are you talking about? I asked her to be my fiancée because of pity for Miss Graham. We are both nobles. Her parents died when she was very young. I did it out of sympathy. I saw that her family was in trouble, so I wanted to help. You should understand me how difficult it was for me to make this decision...

Think about it carefully, I plan to marry her.Miss Graham and I are well matched. Although she is in some financial difficulties now, my family is very wealthy, so it is nothing to me to help her pay off her debt.

She is quieter with me.Although she is a bit timid and speaks in a soft voice, that's what I like in women. I don't like women who have a loud voice like a shrew and talk non-stop.I think quiet women are attractive. "

When he said this, it was as if he really thought so in his heart, and he was standing on the moral high ground.

His expression was radiant and full of satisfaction, as if helping a young lady in trouble gave him a sense of accomplishment.
