The butler was an old onmyoji, and sometimes she couldn’t tell whether what he said was true or ironic.

……

A few hours later.

District 6 of Parrieu, St. Silver Vine Arena.

In this area close to Posen’s Demonic Realm, warning signs of the Senate’s execution force have been hung, and patrols are often guarding the one-kilometer circular border.

Since the platinum-level card maker exam is a large-scale international project, the Poisson Kingdom has invested great security protection. At the same time, during the exam time at the end of August, there will often be powerful dignitaries from Parrieux and even the Duke of the Senate. Hou came to watch, so the further back, the nearby protective power will become more important.

Many executioners on the south bank came to the north bank.

Of course, some people from Parry who work in government agencies have heard about the recent news. The patrol troops at the border of the Posen Demon Realm may not only be for security. The deeper reason may be the mysterious case of the ancient madness curse of the demons that is about to break out some time ago. There are new changes.

In the past few days, there have been no madness incidents. It seems that the suspected culprit spreading the curse in the Posen Kingdom has temporarily hidden due to the Senate’s thunderous search.

But while things were calm in the platinum-level card maker exam, which seemed like the calm before the storm, some people speculated that the culprit of the curse incident was brewing something even more terrifying at the moment.

despite this.

Small gossips and rumors cannot stop the vast majority of life-loving Parry people from looking forward to large-scale events!

The afternoon sun penetrated the huge dome that slowly opened, and shone brightly on the ancient Holy Silver Vine Arena.

Audiences from all over the Posen Kingdom and even countries in the eastern region have already gathered here, looking forward to this annual event of magic engineering.

“Is there any card maker who hopes to be promoted to platinum level this year?”

“I think it’s very difficult. Except for Eskar, a super magic craftsman from a small country, and Valastine, Katrina, a top gold-level card maker who is taking the exam for the second time, the rest of the contestants this year are There are so many mysterious newcomers that I don’t know. Do I want to look at an old master like Balkan, or Kallen, the rising star of the Aloran Kingdom this year?”

“But one of the highlights this time is mainly the examiner. I didn’t expect that a platinum-level card maker would take over Mi Gaiya’s job.”

Crowds of people could be seen everywhere in the venue, noisy discussions and laughter filled the air.

The interior of the ultra-ancient Colosseum has been modernly renovated and repainted. It is surrounded by high stands dotted around, and the audience stands are layered like a winding mountain range like a giant white conch.

In the Tianyu Hall, which is exclusive to the powerful and powerful.

The seats are very spacious, and even the entourage can sit on the sofa nearby.

However, the vast majority of the servants stood at the back very politely and did not sit with their masters.

Only those with a lot of money would buy the high-priced tickets here, and the purchase permission also requires the family to have extremely high points in the Holy Silver Vine Arena, so it has become almost the most luxurious area.

“Please be quiet later and don’t disturb other people.”

Christina brought her younger brothers and sisters to their seats early and gave instructions to them.

Her cousins, cousins, and younger sister couldn’t sit still, and they looked even more excited than she was.

However, her brother Kyle lost interest after hearing that Rocky was not coming today. He returned to the study to continue studying and said that he would consider whether to come over after the last round of assessments.

So she was the only one to take care of the children.

“Inoan, help me look after my younger brothers and sisters.”

Christina could only ask for help from Inoan.

“I……”

Ian sat next to Christina, feeling very uncomfortable.

Because when she looked at other people’s houses, most of the attendants stood aside.

She doesn’t even know how to get along with children.

She has been studying during this period, and she also discovered that there are some things that she already knows, and some things that she does not know at all. However, she is completely lacking in the basic skill of “taking care of and treating children well”, which makes her She increasingly suspected that she had been a bad person before.

“It’s okay. You are very smart and can learn it in no time.”

Christina seemed to notice Inoan’s hesitation, took her hands and said to her.

“It’s all because that guy Rocky was a deserter, otherwise the younger brothers and sisters would be quiet as soon as he asked about their homework.”

Christina couldn’t help complaining angrily.

Coaxing children was supposed to be Rocky’s specialty.

“No, I don’t blame Mr. Lodge, it’s my lack of ability.”

Inoan whispered.

As if she didn’t want Christina to blame Butler Lodge, she tentatively looked at the children and boldly touched their heads one by one.

The three little ones all looked at Ino’an in confusion, which made Ino’an a little worried that he had done something wrong.

She was simply imitating the natural behavior of Lodge’s housekeeper.

She remembered that every time this time, Rocky would say “Children, I’m back.”

But obviously the scene at this moment is inappropriate.

“Hey, Ino’an, you are actually willing to play with us!”

However, the three children soon showed smiles and began to talk to Ino’an, the taciturn and mysterious maid, making Ino’an not sure what to say next.

“Wouldn’t it be enough to imitate it a little bit?”

Christina smiled easily and breathed a sigh of relief.

The housekeeper has some other uses, as it can motivate Inoan to make up for his work.

The platinum level card maker exam has actually started for some time, and the screen in the Tianyu Hall is also synchronized with the interior of the artificial world.

Now it’s time to prepare for the break halfway through.

Because the first round of seminars for the platinum level card maker exam is quite long.

Experts watch the door, laymen watch the excitement, few people can watch the whole process.

So even in the live Holy Silver Vine Arena, there are always spectators coming in and out.

Every time two candidates alternate between each other, the screen in the arena will change to the examiner and staff discussing, preparing to lead the new candidates to the entrance after the countdown is over.

At this time, the audience was almost all talking about their own things.

Just as Christina was leaning on the back of the sofa and looking up at the clear blue sky of Parrieux, she suddenly heard something moving in the distance, as if the dignitaries in the area were saluting someone.

She tilted her head and looked over, and immediately sat upright.

The person who came was the real person in charge of the Posen Kingdom Senate – Duke Tiffany.

She was wearing a luxurious silk dress, the skirt fell on the seat, the dark red texture reflected the shimmer, and a mink velvet cloak hung on her shoulders, fluttering gently with her movements.

Tiffany straightened her back, raised her head slightly, and her bright eyes seemed to be happy to wander around the screen. She tapped the armrest with her seal ring, methodically fanned the feather folding fan in her hand, and occasionally raised her head. Smiling and whispering a few words to the black-clad officer behind him.

“I heard that you almost accidentally chopped him down that day?”

She pointed at a certain examiner figure in the corner of the screen with her folding fan, then lightly covered her mouth with the fan and asked.

“……terribly sorry.”

The officer in black lowered his head and said solemnly.

“I don’t blame you. I gave you the authorization at that time, and I am responsible for anything that goes wrong.”

Mr. Tiffany was nonchalant and patted the officer in black on the waist with a fan, as if to tell him to hold his head high and not blame himself.

“Mr. Nigel!”

Christina on the other side noticed the figure of the black-clad officer and accidentally called out his name, so she simply waved to him.

The last time she and housekeeper Rocky went to the Posen Demon Realm, they met the executioner, and it was he who handed Inoan over to them both.

Nigel, who was standing behind the Duke, noticed the seats at Count Baptiste’s house, glanced at Christina, and nodded slightly in greeting.

“Inoan, it was Mr. Nigel who saved you that day.”

Christina reminded Enoch next to her.

In the Posen Demon Realm, if Nigel hadn’t arrived to stop the mad leader of the Diamond Gang, Inoan might have been beaten to death by the mad and cursed demons.

Hearing this, Inoan also leaned slightly toward Nigel.

Nigel also responded to Inoan.

He found out that it was the Baptiste family who took in the human being he rescued.

“Look, Ino’an, it’s not so dangerous outside, and there are still many people with good intentions.”

Christina taught Enoch.

“That’s what you said.”

Inoan nodded with some relief.

Before she could say anything else.

“!”

She stood up as if she suddenly realized the danger, stood in front of Christina, and protected Christina behind her with her hands to prevent her from moving.

They saw a tall figure appearing in front of them at some point, almost blocking the sunlight.

“Miss, may I ask if your housekeeper has brown hair and green eyes?”

The dark red eyes of the figure in front of the sofa shone with a playful light. He ignored Inoan and only asked Christina.

He was wearing a black satin coat, with his long black hair hanging freely, and his pale and delicate face with some wild beauty.

It is none other than the demon lord of Parrie 7, Astros.

“…”

Christina looked away.

She remembered that it was Butler Rocky who gave the demon lord a black elbow that day, causing him to be defeated by Master Chief Nigel.

Although she was standing far away that day and should not have been noticed by the demon lord Astros, Rocky is now well-known in the Holy Silver Vine Arena. After a little inquiry about the strong man with brown hair and green eyes wearing a butler uniform, It didn’t take long to find out that he was the butler of their Baptiste family.

“I don’t know where he went.”

Christina replied with sweat on her forehead and a look on her face pretending to be stupid.

“Really? I was careless last time. Let me see him next time…”

Just saying that, veins popped up on Astros’ forehead.
