The rise of new forces of elves

The black car drove smoothly into a manor in the southern suburbs of Dark City and stopped near a beautiful fountain.

"This is Akita House."

The old housekeeper who got out of the car first helped open the door and introduced to Kazumi and Lichuan who had just got off the car.

Lichuan, who had just gotten out of the car, raised his head and his eyes fell on the towering building nearly a hundred meters away. Kazumi next to him had already expressed his feelings on his behalf, "The castle is too exaggerated!"

With white walls and blue vaults, what the old butler calls the 'Akita Residence' is a castle that occupies a large area!

"This is a castle built on the order of the third head of the Akita family. It has a history of 226 years since its completion." A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes introduced in a gentle voice. Behind him, dozens of servants Queues lined up on both sides of the white marble road, waiting.

"This is the new head of our Akita family." The old housekeeper whispered the person's identity. After hearing this, Kazumi, who had already made some guesses in his mind, quickly took Lichuan to greet him.

While Kazumi was chatting with the middle-aged man, Lichuan looked around absentmindedly.

Carikawa believes that a wealthy family like the Akita family is unlikely not to ask professionals to confirm the situation after discovering the situation at home.

Since he finally chose to find Kazumi, the old butler, who was considered an insider, also tended to be haunted by ghosts, which probably proved that there was indeed something beyond his understanding in this castle.

The attentive behavior of the Akita family leader who came to greet him with many servants also proved this from the side.

If I didn't really feel uneasy in my heart and had strong expectations for Kazumi's arrival, for a simple commission, such a standard greeting would obviously be unnecessary.

Scanning the majestic castle casually, Lichuan secretly made his own little calculation.

The reason why he didn't use the excuse of 'staying to look at the store' to remove himself from this incident, naturally had his own considerations.

While listening to the conversation between Kazumi and the old butler in the store, Lichuan, who had been considering the choice of the second elf, suddenly felt that if possible, buying a ghost elf seemed to be a good choice.

He was able to win 29 times in a row. In addition to the opponent's not being too strong, the trumpet bud can attack and defend, and the flexible vine whip is also a very important reason.

Just imagine, if Horn Bud can only be like other people's Bobo and Rattata, effective attacks are basically based on close-to-face output. With Horn Bud's low level (weak physical fitness), it may be difficult to even win!

Having tasted the sweetness brought by the uniqueness of the skills, Lichuan certainly wanted the second elf that was still in the plan to have a certain advantage in skills.

The weird abilities of ghost elves will definitely give most people a headache!

After having this idea, Lichuan paid attention to Kazumi.

Just like what the old butler said, the harmonious Heiluga has quite an advantage when facing ghost-type elves.

When Carikawa himself was helpless against the ghost-type elf, relying on Kazumi's help to subdue a ghost-type elf was his only way in a short period of time.

In addition, the strange incident that happened at Akita's house did not actually cause the death of anyone. Lichuan felt that he could go on this trip with Kazumi.

As for how to persuade Kazumi to help, Lichuan already had preliminary ideas, but now was the wrong time, so there was no need to rush to speak.

"Now let's see if these things in the Akita family were caused by ghost elves..." Looking at the castle under the setting sun, Li Chuan's eyes flashed.

……

"Miss Hemei came here in a hurry. She must not have had dinner yet, right? I have already asked people to prepare food. Please move to the castle~" After talking for a while, the middle-aged man changed the topic and invited her gently.

Kazumi kept smiling, but her mind automatically added the voiceover of the middle-aged man's words.

Hurry and finish your meal and get to work!

Nodding, Kazumi greeted Lichuan and followed the middle-aged man towards the castle.

Following Kazumi through the castle gate and walking in the arcade leading to the castle hall, the candles lit on both sides extended to the end of the line of sight like a long dragon.

The smooth mirror-like ground reflects the candlelight, and walking there makes you feel like you are in the starry sky.

"It's so beautiful!" Kazumi exclaimed sincerely.

Lichuan nodded subconsciously, but looking at the sculptures whose faces on both sides were not realistic, the thought that came to Lichuan's mind was, if you live in this environment for a long time, won't your eyes become myopic?

Just when Lichuan was secretly amused by his sudden idea, Lichuan suddenly saw a pair of twinkling eyes appearing in the darkness in front of the arcade.

The hairs all over his body stood up instantly. Lichuan quickly patted Kazumi's arm to wake him up from his intoxication, "Sister Kazumi, there's something going on!"

Kazumi's professionalism is still very high. After hearing Li Chuan's reminder, he took out the elf ball as soon as possible.

Just as he was about to throw the elf ball, the middle-aged man extended his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, this is just a misunderstanding!"

The old housekeeper, who was a step slower to react, also noticed the approaching eyes at this time, and explained on behalf of the middle-aged man, "This is the owl in charge of changing the candles at home, and it is not an enemy~"

Having said this, the old housekeeper glanced at Li Chuan, as if he was complaining about Li Chuan's fuss.

"Owl?" Looking at the big brown bird that gradually flew into the light and was almost as tall as Carikawa, Kazumi looked curiously at the bamboo basket under the owl's talons.

"Because the lighting in the castle basically relies on candles, and some candlesticks are located very high, making it difficult for servants to change them, so our family has always had the tradition of training nighthawks to serve as 'candle changers.'"

"This nighthawk was tamed and trained by my father when he was young, and I grew up watching it... Alas, so much time has passed in the blink of an eye~"

The middle-aged man stroked the old-looking owl and explained sadly.

"Please have my condolences~" Kazumi, who knew that the bamboo basket was full of candles, comforted the middle-aged man and put away the elf ball at the same time.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go have a meal first." The middle-aged man patted the owl and signaled the owl to leave, thus dismissing the topic.

Everyone set off again, and Kazumi quietly came to Lichuan, patted Lichuan on the shoulder and said softly, "Thank you for reminding me just now~"

Seeing Kazumi's serious expression, Lichuan's favorable impression of Kazumi increased.

He didn't complain about his reminder because he later found out it was a misunderstanding. Instead, he was sincerely grateful. Judging from this point alone, Kazumi's vigilance still existed.

In this situation where the enemy is unknown, the main combat force on one's side can maintain a cautious attitude, which will undoubtedly ensure their own safety with a higher probability.

"After all, I am your assistant!" He replied with a smile. Finally, Lichuan turned his head and glanced at the slow-flying owl, and followed Kazumi to the restaurant.
