Chapter 839 Beware of Yellow Hair
Chapter 839 Beware of Yellow Hair
Earnshaw served the floral tea and biscuits produced on the estate to the traveling group, and also cut some extra lavender for the girls.
A group of people chatted around the small round table, and Earnshaw seemed to casually ask about the identity and relationship of the traveler team.
Paimon: "We are indeed not from Fontaine. We are a group of adventurers traveling to Fontaine."
"Adventurer?" Earnshaw looked at the black-haired girl. "Although you do have magical abilities, won't your family be worried about you going on such a long journey?"
Su: "What are you worried about? Aunt Xianyun is very confident in our strength."
"Is that so..." En Xiao seemed relieved, but his eyes were still observing the interaction between the group of young people, with a focus on Kong.
Sora, who has more social experience, guesses Earnshaw's real doubts and concerns.
null:……
He's really not some guy who tricks young girls into eloping abroad...
Sure enough, in the following conversation, Enxiao started talking about topics such as "Home is the warmest place", "The harm of immature decisions", "Girls shouldn't be too infatuated", etc.
Seeing the girl's confusion and absent-mindedness, Earnshaw was silent for a long time and told a lesson from the past, "My silly child..."
Earnshaw has a daughter. After his wife passed away, he devoted himself to his career to create better conditions for his child, but neglected the care and companionship that are more important than money.
Later, Earnshaw's daughter was deceived into falling in love with a yellow-haired man who was "good for nothing but sweet talk and flattery!" Even though Earnshaw threatened to break off relations with her, his daughter still chose the yellow-haired man.
The daughter ran away from home and eloped with Huangmao, and was eventually led astray by Huangmao and ended up in Melo Petersburg.
"She's been sentenced to ten years," murmured Earnshaw, looking at the puppies playing in the flower field. "I wonder if the warriors can hold out until she comes home."
He also didn't know if his daughter was still willing to come home. A few years ago, the letters she sent back from prison were filled with anger and resentment. Later, he didn't dare to open her letters. Now, his daughter hasn't sent a letter to him in a long time.
Paimon looked at the depressed old father with sympathy, feeling that there were problems on both sides of the relationship, but he didn't know what to say.
Earnshaw looked at the black-haired girl and advised, "Beautiful girls are destined to face more temptations and dangers in this society. You must stay sober and think more about yourself and your family."
Sue was confused, "Oh, okay, thanks for the advice."
Sora couldn't bear it any longer, "Mr. Earnshaw, I really am not..."
Earnshaw nodded at Sora, "I know, young man, I know. I can sense that you're a kind and steady gentleman. I just..." He was just easily filled with worry about girls who were too young and too pretty.
"I'm sorry to make you uncomfortable. Please forgive the rudeness of an old man who hasn't communicated with others in a long time."
As the sun set, the group of travelers waved goodbye to Earnshaw, carrying extra cookies and lavender oil.
——*——*——
Soon the agreed time to go to jail arrived, and Villette personally escorted the traveler group.
The group of travelers followed Villette across the bridge behind the Oprykle Opera House and into the deep shaft elevator.
First, I took the elevator, which took more than ten minutes to descend even at a very fast speed.
The elevator opened onto an underwater dock with a thick metal floor that smelled of damp.
Next, the traveler team needs to take a submarine and pass through a dedicated tunnel to reach Mello Petersburg.
Navilette: "Although I have indirectly warned Leosli...ah, he is the manager of Melo Petersburg, and although I have told him to look after you, the situation in Melo Petersburg is complicated, so everyone must be extra careful."
Sue: "Okay, okay, then Villette will wait for us to return victorious!"
After Navrette left, Melo Petersburg's receptionist Maretti brought her men to conduct a prison check on the Traveler Team.
"You're so lucky to have Master Villette personally deliver it here! It seems you're not just any criminal."
"Please hand over the Eye of God, your weapons, and anything else you have. We will keep them safely and return them upon your release."
Paimon panicked, "What?! You can't bring supplies with you while you're in jail?"
Sora: "Of course." They were in jail, not on vacation.
In order to facilitate management and reduce riots, prisons will certainly not allow prisoners to carry supplies or even dangerous goods.
"So we're just going to have prison food from now on?!" Paimon said, breaking his guard. "Hurry up and bring out all the delicious food. Let's eat it right now!"
Paimon rubbed his bulging belly after devouring a hearty meal. "I feel so full! Now I have no regrets. I can go on my journey."
Su:……
null:……
Maretti, who had been serious, couldn't help but laugh. "Mello Petersburg may not be a good place, but it's not hell either. You're still young, don't give up on your future."
Paimon finally realized, "That's not what I meant!"
Maretti returned to the point and asked the Traveler Team to unload their equipment and supplies.
Sora looked at the boxes they brought and reminded them, "We have a lot of stuff, so we should prepare a warehouse."
Maretti, who was originally unmoved, looked at the items on the ground that were gradually piling up into a small mountain, and her eyes widened. She quickly gestured for a pause and asked her subordinates to find the key to the empty warehouse.
Maretti: "Young man, your "a bit much" is still too modest."
If Kong's things are just "a little too much", then Su's things are "terribly too much".
The prison receptionists showed expressions of despair as they looked at the supplies filling the three large warehouses.
One warehouse has enough food to feed the entire Melo Petersburg - it has to be kept away from moisture.
A warehouse full of priceless gems, antiques, and artworks—this requires top-notch anti-theft measures!
The last warehouse is filled with… bombs! That’s enough to fight a war!
If this place is not properly kept and someone throws a small match in it... I'm afraid it will explode from the bottom of the sea to the Oprykle Opera House in an instant!
Who are these young men sent by the Supreme Judge?
Navelette, who was called back by the emergency telegram, couldn't help showing a speechless expression after seeing the supplies of the traveler team.
But what concerned him most was...
That Villette withdrew his gaze from the rock dragon held by the girl, and temporarily stopped trying to guess the other party's situation.
Navril: "Let me keep these for safekeeping. I will return them to you in full later."
Not only did the Traveler Team feel relieved that Villette was in charge of the safekeeping, but the prison receptionists also breathed a sigh of relief.
But during the final detection scan, the instrument facing the girl still issued a serious alarm.
Maretti looked at the gold bracelet on the girl's wrist and the rock dragon in her arms, then looked at Villette, her meaning was very straightforward -
Please give us a set of rules and regulations for this magical creature you have obtained.
