【Adele】

Although Leicester had chased after him first, my heart was still pounding. Just my first reaction to his sentence, I thought he might be unreliable this time.What's more, he has always preferred to watch the excitement, lest the world will not be chaotic, rather than personally resolve conflicts.

"It's a bit far away." Jean came to this conclusion with a frown after confirming the location. He felt that "a bit far away", so Eric must have taken Jane quite far away.

We had to spend a lot of money to rent two skinny horses used for performances, and rushed over.

I don't know if the timing of our arrival is just right.

When they were about to arrive, they heard fierce quarrels, dominated by Eric's most distinctive voice and Jane's sharp rebuttals, while Lester's tone was lazy, interjecting from time to time without any effort at all.

The moon is very good tonight. After leaving the brightly lit Laverton Gathering, I feel that the woods illuminated by the moonlight are like a mysterious palace covered with silver frost.

Eric's horse stopped aside, grazing quietly with its tail flicking.

Jane lay on the grass, eyes wide open, looking at the man who forcibly pressed her shoulder.

Half of the broken mask slid down, and Eric's face was completely exposed to the moonlight, in front of Jane's eyes.

"Look, this is the real Eric." Eric laughed lowly. On such a face that looked like a skeleton scorched by fire, his smile looked particularly ferocious, and even his voice was as cold as A cold wind from Siberia.

Jane didn't speak, Lester didn't speak, all of us didn't speak, the surrounding was as dead silent, Lester looked towards me, spread his hands innocently, indicating that the matter of these two people couldn't get involved, he said he couldn't help .

Jane raised her arms suddenly.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound echoed in the silent woods. Her slap was so unceremonious that we were all shocked, maybe including Eric.

"Let me go." She pursed her lips tightly, obviously extremely angry.

"I've always been curious about what's behind this mask, and I admit that I was really scared, but I'm not scared because of it." I have to say that Jane is a brave girl, and being suppressed by Eric like this doesn't hurt her "I just feel disappointed, disappointed and angry. It turns out that Eric is just such an ugly guy. From body to soul, everything is useless."

"Eric!" I rushed forward and pushed him away with the momentum of my run-up. Jane's provocation continued to escalate. No one could predict what Eric would do in the next second. He might really kill her.

Eric looked down at me, his golden eyes and protruding eye sockets were indeed a little scary in the moonlight.

Then he stroked the top of my hair lightly.

"Yes, this is Eric." Of course, his words were not addressed to me, but to Jane.

"He was an ugly devil from birth, but he still yearned for heaven, how sad."

After Eric left this sentence, he left the woods before any of us, and the chaotic night finally ended, but it didn't seem to end.I lifted Jane off the grass, and the angle was just right enough for me to glare at Lester.

"He'll be fine," Lester said, but under my gaze, he finally shrugged and resigned, "OK, I'll go and see, I hope this guy doesn't go back to Paris in a fit of rage."

Nobody was in the mood for any more merry Laverton meetings.It would have been a very light-hearted evening, but this turn of events ruined everything.

Jean accompanied me and was responsible for sending Jane home safely. Jane was silent all the way, even though I tried to start the conversation several times, wanting to say something light-hearted to relieve the solemn atmosphere, so that Jane would forget about it quickly. But it didn't work, she didn't answer the call at all.

"why?"

It was not until she could see the spiers of Austin's house that Jane spoke the first word of the journey so far.

Sadly I had no idea what she was asking.

Jane pursed her lips lightly, and she asked me again: "Why is Eric's face..."

"Well... it seems to be born," I knew that the people talking behind my back were not good, so I tried to answer briefly, "Eric's mother gave him the first and only gift, which was a simple mask."

"Jane, what you said to him today is not unreasonable, but it will be a bit too much for him. Eric is very concerned about his face, and he has no way not to care."

"I'm sorry, Adele," she said as she lowered her head and covered her face in a helpless position I'd never seen Jane do before, "I was terrified, I guess after his mask There are secrets, but that face is beyond my imagination, but I'm not afraid, really! But he took me on the horse, and we ran all the way, through the woods, across the river, no one around, dead silence, only The whirring sound of the wind, it hurts like hitting my face. I screamed desperately to stop him, but he kept laughing, clamping my waist like a devil, making me unable to move. I didn’t really feel scared until this time , I thought he would lead me to the end of the world, or the abyss of hell. And I will never be able to return to Steventon."

"I can't understand...why Eric had to go through this horrible experience, and me, oh my god...what nasty things did I say to him then..."

"I understand, you are frightened, anyone will be frightened by tonight's experience," I held her hand to comfort her, "sleep well, forget about it, and treat everything tonight as a dream. When the sun rises tomorrow, everything will be fine."

【Jean Grenouille】

Everything will be better the next day?

I don't think so.

"Hey, Grenouille, good morning!" Lester greeted me holding up something thin and white, and the smell of ink, paper, and wax made me realize that it was a long-distance letter.

I don't think it's good at all, as long as Lester is around in the daytime, he will definitely draw the curtains, make the whole house dark, and put on a thick black cloak, haunt like a ghost, let Everywhere I passed was tainted by his stench.

"Where's Adele? Haven't woken up yet? Oh no, she's having breakfast, and I can smell her fresh blood!" He came over and put his arms around my shoulders, as if he had a good relationship with me, but that's not the case at all. .

"It's strange, she's in the restaurant, but you're here, and you're arguing again?" Lester squinted his eyes and looked me up and down: "Or are you... something wrong?"

This...he guessed right...I do have something to do.

But I don't want to ask him that question.

"I'm looking for Eric."

"Eric?" Lester laughed: "He locked himself in the studio and didn't see anyone. I already had a bad nose when I came back yesterday. Believe me, things won't be any better this morning. ! So tell me buddy, what's up with you?"

It seems that the timing is not right. Now I really can't find anyone else. Let Lester be Lester. Although he is annoying, he can still give some useful suggestions sometimes.

"I have a question."

"The issue is?"

"I'm too thin and not strong enough."

Lester nodded: "That's right, it's true, don't you think you're like a bean sprout? So I really can't understand why Adele would take a fancy to it... Wait a minute, wait a minute... What do you mean? He looked me up and down suspiciously: "You want to change?"

Of course, I nodded and said, "Adele said she likes that."

"Pfft," Lester covered his mouth inexplicably and let out a laugh, "Oh, yes, then how do you plan to change?"

Well, that's the point: "Lester, I need advice."

Lester's smile widened: "ok, ok, this is a good thing. As a friend, I am obliged to help. But I think the vampire's suggestion may not be very effective for you. It seems that I have to recall decades Looking for valuable advice on your previous human career. I heard that you have worked as a leather worker? That is physical work. Your strength is undoubted, but you need some skills to exercise your muscles. But at present, given your body Without a few taels of meat, it is even more difficult to build muscle, and eating more meat will definitely help."

He suggested to me swearingly, and it sounded like that, but I doubted that he was lying, right?

But anyway, Adele also said that I am too thin, maybe I should eat more meat?

"About your body shape, we can talk about it later, I think we should go to the restaurant to find Adele first, because I received an interesting letter, I guess you will be interested." Lester raised his hand white envelope and licked his lips excitedly.

My gut tells me that's not a good thing.

"I have a Nordic friend. He works as a butler in Arendelle's Kingdom Castle. He's doing well, right?"

"Vampire?" Adele asked, putting down her knife and fork.

"No, it's an old man, he's too old, I don't like to drink the blood of such a man," Lester pouted, and then unfolded the letter for us to read, "On the day of the coronation, their queen left suddenly! And she turned the whole of Arendelle into a world of ice and snow, you know it's still summer!"

"Oh, of course, their princess—a woman who is said to be unreliable has gone to find her sister. But my old friend obviously thinks that asking me for help is more useful than asking their highness the princess for help."

"Did you see it, Adele? Grenouille? This queen knows ice and snow magic, maybe she was born with it," Lester said with great interest. "You must know that there has been no real magician in this world for many years."

Adele raised her eyebrows, stared at Lester, and said a word meaningfully: "And..."

"And that guy upstairs needs to stay away from Steventon right now, am I right?" Lester rubbed his chest and used his annoying aria again: "Look, look! How considerate and gentle Lester! I have everyone's feelings in mind!"

"Hmm... well, let me take a closer look at the contents of this letter." Adele rubbed the center of her brows, murmured a few words over and over again, as if she had encountered some troublesome problem again, "Northern Europe, Norway, Arendelle, Your Majesty, ice and snow magic...it's a bit like Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale..."

Andersen's Fairytales?what is that?

Are we leaving here again?Not bad, I have never been to Northern Europe, I heard that the winter there is covered with snow, all good and bad smells are covered up, and the world becomes extremely pure, no matter in terms of sight or smell.

I think I'll like it there.

The author has something to say: Thank you Qingbenjiaren for mine~(≧▽≦)/~

In view of the endless troubles here in Steventon, I decided to let the handsome, brave and invincible Lester go to Arendelle alone, and the rest of the friends will follow up after finishing the funeral (fog)!
