Chapter 559 [Are you here to kill me?] (New Year's Day, New Year's greetings to everyone)

Chapter 559 [Is it here to kill me?]

The same corridor, the same yard, and the same easily bypass the magic circles hidden in the dark.?

Chen Daolin seemed to have experienced the old story of having a night break with that guy Chishuiduan last time.

Like Chishuiduo, Dean Carmen is also very familiar with the layout and location of the Tulip House castle. He does not need Chen Daolin to remind him that Carmen just walked in front casually without saying a word, but he was walking in the back garden of the Magic Academy.

Chen Daolin was a little surprised at first, and then felt relieved. After all, this beautiful dean was from the Tulips family. He could take charge of Hogwarts Academy and naturally had a deep relationship with the Tulips family. And I heard that when she was young, she had some unclear scandals with her previous duke. I think she must have been to this Tulips castle more than once...

Go up the side ladder of the wing of the castle, then pass through a sky corridor connecting the main castle and the flanking building, and you can easily enter the main castle building of the castle.

What surprised Chen Daolin was that he had never walked this road last time, and... along the way, there were no guards on the road here?!

"There have never been guards here." Carmen seemed to see Chen Daolin's face surprised and said casually: "The door we entered before has a magic circle, which I wore... A token he gave me back then could pass through the magic circle without triggering an alarm. In fact... In this castle, more than a certain number of layers, ordinary guards will not come in to patrol. Unless there is something summoned by the head of the family, the guards will only patrol outside and below. The people of the Tulip family are very confident. Every generation of dukes is a top master, and there are no guards to protect them. Some forbidden areas in the family also have powerful magic circles. Even if someone can break in, they will not get any benefits."

Chen Daolin nodded, then frowned and said, "Then we..."

"At this time, if you guess correctly, as a duke, you must be in the study. Well, it should be on the top floor."

Chen Daolin noticed that although Carmen's face seemed to be light and light, his fingers were already tightened!

The spiraling stairs went up, looking like the road was endless and could not reach the end. However, as Carmen's steps became slower and slower, his breathing became heavier, and a trace of solemnity and slowly accumulated in his eyes. It became thicker and thicker!

...

"Okay, go out."

Du Weiwei looked at the food sent by the servant, and only glanced at it and waved her hand.

The food was her personal maid. She was probably the old man who had been following Du Weiwei for a long time. She looked about in her forties and had long been no longer in appearance, but her demeanor was very calm. Although she saw Du Weiwei waved her hand, she did not retreat. Instead, she took a step forward and said slowly in a very gentle but calm voice: "Miss. You have always eaten so little these days. Today I only ate one meal, and now it is midnight..."

Du Weiwei raised her head, glanced at the middle-aged maid, and suddenly smiled: "Now, you are the only one in the family who can call me Miss. Even the Chief Guard is used to calling me Duke."

"You are a duke in front of millions of people, but at home, you are always a lady. If you do a duke too much and too long, people will be very tired." The middle-aged maid smiled: "The master once said this."

"My father... is right." Du Wei sighed slightly. She looked at the food on the table again, then picked up a bowl of soup, blew the heat, and slowly drank it.

A smile appeared in the middle-aged maid's eyes and said with a smile: "If you still like to drink, I'll go..."

"No need, just a bowl of soup is enough to warm your stomach. I don't have much appetite now." Du Wei smiled, looked at the middle-aged maid again, and suddenly frowned: "Actually... you really don't have to serve me again. This time I brought you back because I thought it was too messy outside and safer at home. You have served our family for the rest of your life, and it's time to enjoy it."

"It's already very comfortable now." The middle-aged maid smiled: "I've been living here all these days, but I've always been a little uncomfortable with it at first, but I just let me do these things and let me serve you, so I feel more at ease."

"Ah... With your age and qualifications at home, it's always more than enough to be a manager. I don't think the housekeeper would mind asking you to do something for him. Why do you have to put on the maid's clothes again?"

"Just be at ease." The middle-aged maid shook her head: "Actually, even if I wear this outfit, no one in the family dares to really treat me as an ordinary maid. Only in front of you can I feel that when I was serving the master at home like I did back then... All the family treat me as a noble person. Only in front of you can I regain my duty to serve others."

"Well, just like I'm in front of you, I've always been that young lady?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Forget it, people always want to keep things from before. This is also great."

"It's just a peace of mind." The middle-aged maid: "I have been living elsewhere. This time the grassland people rushed in. You sent someone to pick me up as soon as possible. I heard that the place where I live was burned by the grassland people. I know that you are nostalgic and care about us old people. But I always feel uneasy."

Du Weiwei's gentle face suddenly became sharp. She narrowed her eyes: "Is it...what has someone said to you?"

"There is nothing bad." The middle-aged maid shook her head: "I know... my husband and son are all there, and I heard that I have defected to a new master and done a lot of things, which have caused trouble to the family. I am always a little nervous."

"There's nothing uneasy." Du Wei shook his head: "In theory, you are already the Baroness. Although Baron Pierre is helping Darling Chen, Darling Chen is not the enemy of the family after all... Some people below like to spread messages randomly. It seems that the rules are a bit lax, and they must be rectified."

The middle-aged maid hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "If you need it, I...I can go there. Although the old guy is a little confused, I can still listen to my words. If I go and talk to him, maybe he can join the family..."

"There is no need for this." Du Wei smiled: "They did a good job there. I heard that even your son Boromil is much more progressive than before. Don't worry, they are not enemies of the family. The current situation is always a bit complicated, so I won't say much to you."

After a pause, Du Weiwei said slowly: "You have served my father, the elderly in the family. The Tulip family never treats the elderly unfairly. This tradition of the family will never be forgotten. Relax, don't take some rumors to heart. Well... I will let you take responsibility for my daily life in the future. I remember my father said that the soup you made is delicious, and I hope I have the blessing of my father."

The middle-aged maid bowed and saluted, then packed up the things on the table, and slowly stepped out.

Du Weiwei sat for a while, as if thinking for a while, then she gently shook a rope bell on the table. Soon, a well-dressed butler knocked on the door and walked in.

"Some servants in the family need to teach the rules well. It is not a tradition of the Tulip family to spread messages and gossip. Although the family has broadband, it is not enough to be honest but not powerful. You can deal with it." Du Weiwei looked at a document on the table and said quickly without raising her head. Then she paused: "From today, let Baroness Pierre take charge of my daily life and diet."

"yes."

The housekeeper with a calm expression bowed and retreated. Before leaving, a hint of awe of awe appeared in his eyes.

Du Weiwei stood up and walked slowly to the wall, then gently pulled a rope, and a huge sheepskin scroll originally curled on the wall fell down, with a huge picture on it.

If you look at this picture carefully, you will find that it is a bird's-eye floor plan of the Tulips Castle!

There are many light spots on it, some are deep and shallow, some are still and some are moving slowly...

Suddenly, Du Weiwei's eyes sterned, staring at one of the places above, and a strange sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

...

"I know you have a lot to say, but now is not the time to speak." Carmen warned Chen Daolin as he walked: "After tonight, if I have the chance, I will satisfy your curiosity, but...Darling Chen, you promised me! Since you are following me, I hope you don't let me down in a while!"

Chen Daolin looked a little helpless.

Suddenly, the lights on both sides of the stairs suddenly lit up, and then, as if they were controlled by some force, the candles on both sides went up step by step as the two of them went up step by step!

This change made Chen Daolin's eyes change, but Carmen next to him sneered: "What amazed...we were discovered."

"Well?"

"What's so strange about this?" Carmen shook his head: "This is the Tulip House. Even if we are the holy level, there are profound magic circles here that can see our infiltration. Otherwise, what do you think? You won't really naively think that we can walk all the way to her without being noticed. Being able to walk here before being discovered is beyond my expectations."

At this moment, on the wall next to it, there was originally an oil painting. The content of the oil painting was a noble lady who was outing. The noble lady in the painting was originally a side image, but now she suddenly opened her mouth, as if she had come alive and spoke a sound.

"Who are you visiting late at night? Darling Chen, are you here?"

This is Du Weiwei's voice!

Chen Daolin's face suddenly changed - it wasn't because he was afraid, but when he heard Du Weiwei's voice, he felt a little uncontrollable... guilty.

Carmen's expression remained unchanged and he slowly said, "Well, Darlingchen, and me."

The noble lady in the painting was silent for a while, and then Du Weiwei's voice came again: "It's the dean who is here. Since they are all here... then please come up and I'll wait in the study. Do you know where it is."

Carmen smiled faintly and stepped forward.

There were no guards blocking the stairs all the way up.

Not to mention what Chen Daolin thought: a large number of guards from the Tulip family armed to the teeth were flocking to...

The stairs and corridors were quiet, with thick carpets under your feet, and they walked up almost silently.

Even when he arrived in the corridor, there was an old housekeeper in a dress standing beside him. He walked past the two of them, as if he was blinded. However, when the corner of his eyes swept to Carmen, the old housekeeper sighed softly, but walked down the stairs without looking back.

"Can he... see you?" Chen Daolin was a little surprised.

"Do you think that the one who can be the steward of the Tulips family would be an ordinary person?" Carmen said lightly: "I know him. With his ability, it is more than enough to be a professor in the academy. In some magic fields, even the other branch deans may not be stronger than him."

At the end of the corridor, of course, the study room was there. Before the two of them could walk in front of them, the two thick doors would open automatically.

The study room is naturally huge, but as the door opens, everything inside is exposed to Chen Daolin's eyes.

In the deepest part of the study, in front of a window, Du Weiwei sat quietly behind a huge desk, playing with a thin dagger in her hand, and smiling on her beautiful face. As they walked in, a hint of undetectable gloom flashed in Du Weiwei's eyes.

Behind me, the thick door closed silently.

Du Weiwei did not stand up, but continued to sit there, gently closed the file in front of him in her hand, sighed a long time before saying slowly:

"Do you... are you here to be lobbyists... or to kill me?"
