Chapter 1020 – Chapter 110: Strange Castle
“Master, you have gone to the Bourne family. Where am I going?”Peder and Dudian walked out of the recruitment association. They saw that Dudian didn’t want them to join the Bourne family.
Dudian glanced at him: “You should find a job near the Bourne family. You should be ready to be dispatched at any time. It is best if you don’t leave the range of the Bourne family. You should understand the consequences if I can’t sense you.”
Peder was shocked. Range of perception of 30 miles? He was also a person with excellent perception. He could sense movement from 30 miles away in the wilderness or even further. However he couldn’t sense clearly. In the crowded Phoenix city, it was extremely difficult to lock onto people from ten miles away. After all, it wasn’t something that could be done simply by relying on smell and hearing.
“Sir, Pidel is loyal to you. I hope you don’t doubt me. I will never betray you. We are on the same boat.”Although Pidel was shocked but his reaction wasn’t slow, he replied with a respectful smile.
Dudian indifferently said: “It’s best if you are a smart person. Even if my identity is leaked, it will be very difficult for the people here to keep me. If I can escape then you should know how terrifying an Abyss Avenger is hiding in the dark.”
Peder bitterly smiled in his heart. He naturally knew this. It was because he knew that he didn’t want to betray Dudian and secretly inform on him. After all, if Dudian survived then his situation would be dangerous, it would be a thankless task. Moreover he couldn’t explain to Red Lotus. He couldn’t say that he had deliberately used a scheme to lure them over. Red Lotus might not believe him but would think that he was afraid of death.
After hiring the carriage, the two came to the outside of the Bourne family.
Dudian told Peder to wait by the street. He held the recruitment certificate issued by the Recruitment Association and came to the gate of the manor. The eight knights looked over. Apparently they still remembered Dudian, when they saw the recruitment certificate in Dudian’s hand, they slightly raised their eyebrows. There was a faint sneer on their lips. It seemed that there was another meaning behind it.
Dudian ignored it and calmly said, “I’m here to apply for the position of Chef. This is the certificate issued by the Recruitment Association.”He handed over the certificate.
The giant python coiled around the knight’s shoulder slightly raised its head. Its vertical pupils were staring at Dudian. It seemed that it would bite at any time.
The Knight was worried that the giant python on his shoulder would suddenly attack Dudian. He touched the head of the giant Python and comforted it. He took the certificate from Dudian and looked at dudian. He was a bit surprised, as a civilian, Dudian’s face was fearless. If it was an ordinary person who saw their pets, they would be scared to death.
He didn’t think too much. His eyes fell on the certificate. He looked at the seal and saw that it was from the recruitment association. He nodded and said: “Come with me. I will take you to see the Butler.”
He opened the door and led the way.
Dudian followed him into the gate. He looked back and saw that the gate was closed by the Knights on both sides. He looked through the iron fence and saw Peder. Both of them knew what each other meant.
Peder nodded slightly and left.
Dudian retracted his eyes and followed the knight. He casually looked at the scenery in the manor.
There weren’t many servants in the manor. Along the way he saw two old gardeners trimming the landscape trees. Some of the sprinklers were still sprinkling on the lawn while others had cut off the water, it was obvious that there was a malfunction in the equipment. It couldn’t be compared to the previous standing family. There was a bleak and dilapidated feeling. It seemed that they were a declining aristocrat.
Dudian climbed over the hillside and saw several towering buildings in front of the forest. They were hundreds of meters tall. The architectural style was more Gothic. There was a strange and gloomy feeling which gave people a very quiet feeling.
When he came to the edge of the forest, Dudian saw a fat little boy squatting on the grass. He was about five or six years old. He squatted on the grass and kept drawing something, he looked like an ordinary child playing with stones on the roadside.
The Knight saw the fat boy and respectfully bowed: “Master Leo.”
The fat boy was slightly stunned. He turned back and stood up from the ground. At this time, Dudian saw that both of his hands were covered in blood. It was extremely sticky and looked like red fruit juice. He looked at the rabbit lying on the ground, the head of the rabbit was twisted one hundred and eighty degrees.
Dudian slightly frowned as he looked at the Fatty.
The fatty stared at the knight and Dudian. He didn’t say anything but his eyes were very strange.
The knight forced a smile: “Master, this is the new cook. I will cook some delicious food for you. I will take him to report to the Butler.”
He stepped forward.
Fatty had been watching them leave for a long time. Dudian looked back and saw that fatty was still staring at their back.
“We are here.”The voice of the knight came from the front.
Dudian looked up and saw that they had come to a towering building along the gravel path. The building was covered in moss. It looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time. There was a huge bat pattern on the door, it was baring its fangs and claws.
There were two expressionless knights guarding the door. They opened the door for the two of them after the Knight explained the purpose of their visit.
The inside of the door was dark and cold. Dudian felt that the temperature around him had dropped a bit. He saw that the Knight’s face was stiff and unnatural, but he still raised his feet and walked inside.
The light in the cold building was dim. There was only one lamp lit. The flickering light was lonely and cold.
Dudian’s vision was not affected by the darkness. He saw an empty throne above the building. There were knights in black armor standing on both sides of the stone pillars. Their bodies were almost one with the darkness. It was difficult to see them clearly, moreover their bodies stood motionless like stone sculptures.
At this time, a young woman who was dressed as a maid came over from the darkness. Her face was white and there was a soul-stirring beauty. She smiled at the Knight who was leading the way: “Who is this person?”
The knight who was leading the way saw him and hurriedly bowed his head: “This is the candidate recommended by the Recruitment Association. He is a chef.”He handed over Dudian’s certificate.
The young woman didn’t take it. She glanced at dudian and nodded: “Wait here. I will call the Butler.”
Her body seemed to float away as she walked quietly.
Dudian saw that her feet landed on the ground. Her steps were very strange. There was a good technique hidden in her steps.
