MTL - Summoning the Holy Sword-v3 Chapter 640 The Secluded Garden (middle)
Although the contrast of Xiluosi is so close to the end of the world, Rhodes, who has experienced the inner world of four people, can be regarded as having antibodies. Although his heart is mad, he will be so quiet and elegant that it is not scientific, but On the surface, Rhodes still walked up the steps following the invitation of the other party, then came to the garden next to him and sat opposite to Xi Luosi. It seemed that the young lady was drinking tea (or supper?), And there were sweet and delicious cakes and steaming black tea on the table. I just don't know why, Rhodes always thinks that what looks normal in front of him doesn't seem to be very normal. Maybe this is because the Helox in front of himself is too abnormal? No, it might be because this Helox is too normal?
"Need some more?"
When he noticed Rhode's gaze, Helosi smiled slightly at him, and when he heard the inquiry of Rhodes, Rhode waved his hand quickly.
"No, Miss Helos, I don't really like sweets."
Rhode is not talking nonsense, because the "trauma" suffered in Celia's spiritual world, he now feels nauseous and nauseous when he sees sweets. So even though this cake looks so delicious in front of him, Rhodes still can't eat a little bit --- To be honest, he suspects that even if he goes out of the spiritual world, I am afraid he has no interest in sweets in this life. This is really funny, the spiritual world Rhodes of Celestina, Grace Hill and Madaras broke through, and the result is the deepest psychological shadow left in Celia's spiritual world, really not Just know what to say.
"So ..."
Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Helosi smiled slightly, but did not say much, but reached out to open it gracefully, and soon followed the action of Helothe. A teacup appeared in front of Rhodes, and immediately she picked up the teapot at hand and poured a cup of sweet black tea for Rhodes. Faced with the invitation from Rhodes, Rhodes never refused, but picked up the tea cup in front of him and motioned to Siloso. Then he took a sip.
The black tea at the entrance is not as delicious as Rod ’s usual drink. Among the black teas Rod has drank, the best drink is the tea made by Lydia, of course, although her own maid captain and Malin are here The craftsmanship is pretty good, but only Litia's black tea gives people a delicious taste that seems to be ascending to the sky with a sip. But now the black tea of Xiluosi gave Rhodes a very strange feeling. It wasn't delicious, it wasn't difficult to drink, and it was a little bit sour in the heat. Suddenly it felt a little like the expiration of tea leaves. But in addition Rhodes felt a weird weirdness, all in all ...... inexplicable.
But even so, Rhodes didn't say much, he just took a sip and dropped the glass in front of him. Then stared at the girl in front of her. Facing Rhode's gaze, there was no change in the smile on Xi Luosi's face. Instead, she blinked and stared curiously at Rhode in front of her.
"I'm the first time I've seen a foreign traveler. I wonder if you have any interesting stories to share with me? Mr. Rhodes, I think you have been traveling all the time. There must be many wonderful and interesting things, I don't know Is it convenient to tell me? "
"This……………"
Looking at the quiet yet rude manner in front of him, and at the same time flashing curious eyes and staring at his own Helox, Rhodes didn't know what to say. Since Rhodes got Helox, he has never communicated well with Helox, which is not what Rhodes does not expect. It was basically nonsense on the side of Xiluosi, and he could not get any valuable information at all, so Rhodes had no choice but to follow Xiluosi. Because of this, when encountering such a "sane" Helox, he kept Rhodes dumb. I don't know how to communicate with her. But when she noticed Rhodes' hesitant expression, Xi Luosi smiled.
"By the way, I have forgotten that you must be very tired to travel here to travel long distances. So, you have a rest here tonight, and we will have a good chat tomorrow, what do you think?"
"Of course there is no problem."
When Hearoth spoke, Rhode nodded without hesitation. He was also thinking about how to communicate with Xiluosi. After all, suddenly seeing such a woman made Rhodes a bit flustered. And if you can take a good rest, then it can also help Rod to straighten out his thinking and consider how to deal with this Greek silk. And ... According to Rhodes' previous experience, I am afraid there should be more than one Helox here. After all, she's not Calles Duying, it's impossible to have only a broken character like Grace Hill and Madaras.
"Pap."
After hearing Rhode's answer, Hilose raised her lips again, and then she reached out her hand and patted it twice. Soon, a ghostly figure in a maid costume floated to two like ghosts. People around. Unsurprisingly, Rhode expected that the maid in front of her was also Xiluosi, but she was completely different from the main body. I saw that Xiluosi was expressionless in front of her, calm and almost like a dead person. So she came to the noble lady Xi Luosi, and saluted to her.
"Miss, what do you tell me?"
"Get a good room for this guest and give him a good rest."
"Yes."
When hearing the noble lady Xi Luosi, the maid Xi Luosi nodded to the other side first, and then she turned around. The pair of emotionless, glass-like eyes looked at the man in front of her. The figure, then the maid Heloth looked at Rhode, and said softly.
"Guest, please follow me."
Led by the maid Helos, Rhode entered the three-story building in the center of the lake in front of him. However, what unexpected to Rhodes is that the small building in front of it not only looks gorgeous and elegant on the outside, but also has luxurious decoration on the inside, dark red carpet, velvet curtains covering the windows, and display. The statues and plants in the corner, and the lights on the ceiling, everything looks soft. Comfortable and luxurious. It is simply a model of an ancient aristocracy. This made Rhodes quite surprised. He originally thought that this small building was just a piece of golden jade outside it. For example, would there be broken limbs and bones everywhere in the building, or would it be a spider web and a rotten pair, which was full? The dust looks like a haunted house. But I didn't expect it to look like this.
The maid did not speak. She didn't even look back to look at Rhodes. She was like a robot that had been instructed, so she walked directly to a room on the left side of the second floor, and then opened the door of the room. Gestured a gesture to Rhodes, and immediately after Rhodes entered the room, she bent down to salute the other person, and then quickly retreated. There wasn't even a word in the middle, and there was even a smile on that dead face, sure. She must be unqualified if she is going to apply for a restaurant waiter ...
"call……………"
Falling on the soft bed, Rod couldn't help exhaling. After experiencing four spiritual worlds, he was finally able to rest and relax a little. Although strictly speaking, there is no physical fatigue in the spiritual world, so Rhodes can go all the way to sleep and sleep without eating and drinking. But even if he was not physically tired, Rod's spirit would be tired. Not to mention that in the weird spiritual world of Celestina and Grace Hill and Madaras, Rhodes was just as tired as a dead dog. And now here, although he can be sure that the spiritual world of Helos is certainly not very safe, but fortunately in the current environment. I'm still relaxed ... then ... let me take a good rest.
Thinking of this, Rhodes closed his eyes. Soon into the deep dreamland.
"Dang — — Dang — — Dang — —”
I don't know how long, the low bell sounded and pulled Rod back from his sleep. He opened his eyes and saw that the room was still illuminated by warm and soft lights. And he was still lying on the soft bed, and nothing changed. to be frank. Rhodes is ready for heart, for example, after waking up, he is actually lying in the cemetery or even buried in the coffin. Or everything in front of me is an illusion, and the whole house will change back to a haunted house or something. But now it looks like everything is normal and nothing has changed. On the contrary, Rhodes had thought too much ... Maybe it really is?
Anyway. It's a good thing that nothing happened. Thinking of this, Rhodes got up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked out. I saw that there was still a deep night outside, and it seemed as if it hadn't changed much. The only difference was that the moon that had been hanging in the sky had disappeared. See the dark shadows in the distance to determine where the lake is, where the 6 places and the forest are. I don't know how long I slept, but Rhodes can feel very clear-headed. It seems that this sleep makes my spirit better a lot ......... Then, next ...
Thinking of this, Rhodes turned around and looked around. He didn't know how long he had slept or what time it was, but Rhodes guessed that there would be no such thing as "daytime" here. Because Xiluosi was originally a person of the kingdom of night, the kingdom of night is always the night, and never had the sun. I am afraid that since the birth of Xiluosi, she has no impression of the "daytime" stuff.
Well, go out and get better.
With this in mind, Rhode turned and left the room.
Everything was very normal, and when Rhodes left the room, nothing happened to keep him locked out of the room like Serestina did. Rhode easily left his guest room, and then turned around in the house. He also hopes to use this time to take a good look at the inner world of Helos, after all, Rhodes, the idea of this crazy necromantic puppet, has no way to think about it. Therefore, he can only dig out any clues from the spiritual world of Helosi as much as possible, as if the detective finds the murderer and motive by reasoning in the closed room that has lost external contact.
It's just a pity that after Rod walked around most of the house, he still didn't get any particularly helpful clues. Everything here is simple, ordinary, and very ordinary. On the surface, this is the home of a nobleman. Just this way, no matter from the decoration of the furniture, the placement of plants or the oil paintings hanging on those walls, Rhodes can't see any abnormalities or violations. This makes Rhodes a bit frustrated, but it's no wonder, how easy is it to detect a case in reality?
Anyway, this is not dead yet! Where's the case?
But Rhodes isn't completely absent. For example, he searched for so long, but never saw the noble lady Xi Luosi and the maid before him. Originally Rhodes thought they should rest in their own room, but after Rhodes opened the doors that could be opened, he couldn't find two people. As for the unopened doors, Rhodes knocked them one by one, but still got no response. Even Rhodes thought that there would be a mystery underground in all the stories, and went to turn the basement of this western building upside down, but still nothing. There he only saw mountains of wine barrels, as well as food storage rooms and kitchens. Everything is normal, there is no secret room, no hidden bones, and no strange existence.
Except that the young lady and the maid could not be found.
But when Rhode returned to the living room, his last question was resolved. At this moment, the noble lady was sitting elegantly on the sand in the living room, drinking black tea, and the maid was standing quietly behind her as always. Seeing Rhode's arrival, a gentle smile appeared on the face of the noble lady Xi Luosi, and then she stood up. He smiled at Rhodes.
"Hello, Mr. Rhodes. It looks like you have a good dream. You look very good. Where did you go just now? I just went to the maid to find you, but you were not in the room ..."
"I just went around."
Rhode quickly responded to the noble lady's speech, and he carefully stared at the two in front of him, then pretended to speak at will.
"Speaking of which, I originally wanted to see both of them. But I didn't find you ..."
"Perhaps because time didn't match."
Regarding Rhode's temptation, the aristocratic lady Heloth did not seem to notice the same, and still spoke with a soft smile. Hearing her words, Rhodes frowned, and instinctively realized that there seemed to be something wrong with it. But he hasn't waited for his consideration. Seeing that Heloth smiled again at Rhodes and continued to speak.
"Fortunately, you did not go out, Mr. Rhodes. Now it's starting to rain outside. If you go for a walk in the garden, you will be drowned."
"rain?"
When he heard this, Rhodes moved inwardly, then he instinctively turned his head and looked out. Sure enough, you can hear the faint “Ra La La” rain coming out of the dark window. What's going on? Rhodes can be sure that when he woke up just now, there was no rain outside. Otherwise he wouldn't have felt it at all. But it is clearly raining now, and it is raining heavily. But you didn't notice it at all?
This is just a small episode. After that, Rhodes started chatting with Helox. Of course, Rhodes also told Heloth about his past. The lady of the nobility seemed very interested. The two sides can be said to have had a lively and happy day. And this time Helos also invited Rod to dine together. Rhodes did not refuse this time, just like the black tea before, although the food in front of Rhodes looks delicious, Rhodes always feels weird after eating it, it seems to be Has the same sour taste. So he was not very interested in these foods, just took a few bites of politeness, and Xi Luosi obviously did not seem to care about this. So, another day passed, Rhode was sent back to the room to rest again by the maid. But this time, he didn't choose to take a good rest.
"It's almost time."
After confirming that the maid turned and left, Rhode reached out to open the door, then quietly walked out of the room. He didn't come here for a holiday. If you can't figure it out at the moment and find clues to communicate in the spiritual world of Siros, then everything is over. Rhodes had searched for nothing before, so Rhodes decided to follow others this time, maybe there would be unexpected gains. After all, the strangest thing to say is probably the place where the young lady Xiluosi and the maid Xiluosi belonged. If Rod remembered correctly, he knocked every door here in the morning, but there was no shadow of two people at all. And they seem to know nothing about themselves. From this point of view, the only problem at present is probably here. Either they have another secret room, or there is something else that they haven't noticed yet.
"Okay, let's get started."
Looking at the figure of the maid walking across the corner, Rhode also flashed, and then he merged into the shadow like this and followed silently. (To be continued ...)
