After the three of Uriah returned to the hotel, they saw Adair at the door of the hotel.

Adair's eyes lit up when he saw Uriah and the others coming back, but then he was a little nervous and said embarrassedly: "Sir, can you lend me some money?"

He looked at Ulea eagerly: "I will return it to you!" He took out the crumpled contract in his arms, which was written by someone he entrusted, and handed it to Ulea: "We A contract can be made."

Uriah picked up the contract, which wrote the gold coins she wanted to borrow and the time limit for Adair to repay the money. If Adair couldn't repay the borrowed gold coins on time, he would be sold as a slave to pay back the money.

Uriah was a little curious about what a child would do with so much money. Logically speaking, Adair doing some odd jobs in Sakathrin alone was enough to support himself.

"My sister is seriously ill." Adair was a little anxious. If it wasn't because Vivienne's illness could not be delayed any longer, he would not have spoken to Ulea and the others.

Ulea took out the gold coins for him, and Adair hesitated for a while thinking of the gangsters who occasionally appeared near the poor houses: "Can I come and get them tomorrow?"

Ulea nodded: "Before six o'clock tomorrow morning or after eight o'clock in the evening."

Adair bowed to them: "Thank you!"

Uriah didn't take this matter very seriously at first, but the next morning, when Adair didn't show up, Xie Ning frequently looked at the door and asked Uriah, "Is something wrong with him?"

After all, Adair also fits the characteristics of those missing children. He is between five and ten years old, and has no elders. Even if he disappears, not many people will notice.

"It may be delayed by other things." Ulea said, "wait and see."

However, there was no sign of Adair when the three of Uriah returned from the temple at night.

"Go and see where he lives?" Jaccard suggested.

Uriah agrees.

Xie Ning said: "I know where he lives." A few days ago, Adair mentioned it when chatting with Xie Ning.

"123 Selfridge Street." The three of Uriah stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden house.

Ulea and the others did not restrain their footsteps, and Vivian in the house also heard the movement stopped at the door.

The sound outside the door was different from Adair's footsteps coming back.

She lifted her heart, held back the tickle in her throat, and raised her voice, although it was still elusive to Uriah and the others: "Who is outside?"

Uriah responded, "We're coming to Adair."

Vivian hesitated for a moment, and said, "You guys push the door and come in."

Ulea opened the door and went in, and saw the girl lying on the bed at a glance. Her skin was fair, and her fingers exposed the quilt were smooth and free of calluses. The collar of the shirt showed embroidery patterns, which was out of tune with the surrounding environment, and she looked more like a The troubled noble lady.

She and Adair don't look like siblings, but they seem to have a good relationship.

"Adair?" Hearing what Ulea and the others said, Vivienne was a little nervous, "What's wrong with him?"

"Did he come back yesterday?" Uriah asked her.

Adair came back yesterday, and Vivian remembered that he was very happy when he came back yesterday, and he went out early this morning. It was not the time when Adair usually came back, so Vivian didn't think much about it.

"He made an appointment with us this morning, but he never showed up."

"Is that so?" Vivian's eyes changed slightly, remembering something.

Uriah noticed the look in her eyes and thought she should know something.

Uriah and Jaccard looked at each other, and Jaccard stepped forward and asked her, "We want to find him, do you have any clues?"

"He was..." Vivienne lowered her eyes and swallowed back what she wanted to say.

"By whom?" Jaccard asked.

"No one." Vivian avoided answering.

"You can go to Vilvia Manor to have a look." Vivienne said, "He should be fine for the time being."

Ulea wanted to ask something else, Vivian coughed, her face was pale, and there was a trace of dead silence in her eyes, she covered her lips, red blood leaked through her fingers: "I'm tired."

Seeing that she didn't want to speak anymore, the three of Ulea could only leave, and Vivian suddenly said behind her: "Adair and the others will leave you alone."

they?

Ulea noticed what she said, so there are other children in the Vilvia Manor?

Uriah and Jekaard planned to take a look at it at night, maybe they could get some clues from it, and Uriah wanted to send Xie Ning back to the hotel before going there.

Although he was very curious about the secrets of the Wilvia Manor, Xie Ning knew that he couldn't help, so he didn't have any objections.

After sending Xie Nin back, Uriah and Jaccard took advantage of the darkness to head towards Wilvia Manor.

Vilvia Manor is close to the suburbs. This area is all private manors, and there are not many people in the middle of the night.

Ulea and Xie Nin carefully hid not far from the manor. There were guards patrolling around the manor all the time, not letting go of any corners. Compared with the looseness and tightness of the temple, it was much tighter.

Ulea just heard it before, it is said that the Vilvia manor has recently lost something, so the patrol has been stepped up.

Uriah and Jekaard stared at the time when the guards exchanged, and prepared to take advantage of that time to enter from a blind spot.

Ulea, who was looking at the Vilvia manor, suddenly smelled a familiar aura. Ulea followed the aura and saw a person walking towards the manor.

He was wearing a black cloak, covering his whole body tightly, but the monsters could tell different people more by their smells. Both Ulea and Jacard recognized that the man was Caesar, the priest of the temple.

He covered up so tightly in the middle of the night to prove that there is a secret here.

Caesar stopped at the gate of the manor, and after revealing a token, the guards at the gate quickly let it go. After Caesar entered the manor, Uriah and Jekaard carefully followed after hiding their tracks.

Caesar finally stopped in a room, Yulea heard the sound of mechanism movement coming from the room, and a damp and dull breath leaked out.There was no accident in the room, and a barrier was set up. In order not to startle the snake, Uriah and Jaccard hid on the nearby roof and watched Caesar's movements.

After a while, there was a slight movement in the room. Yulia saw Caesar open the door and find a guard: "Help me find a doctor to go to the next room."

Afterwards, Nishizawa came out of the room with a little girl about eight or nine years old in his arms. She fell asleep drowsily, the clothes on her body were made of rough fabric, and her body was thin and skinny.

The doctor arrived soon, and there was a blond man who came with him. Uriah looked familiar to him, and he looked a bit like Teresi who was making his own ideas on the snowy field.

The doctor quickly entered the room to treat the little girl, while the blond man and Caesar stayed outside.

"Do you know what you're doing?" Levi was dissatisfied.

"It's almost the festival, I don't want to make a mistake."

Levi was a little disdainful: "It's just one person, can't you find another one after you die?"

Levi still wanted to say something, but the doctor in the room had already prescribed the medicine, and Caesar walked into the room and took the child out: "I'll send her back."

Levi glanced at her dirty clothes and waved his hands: "Go."

Uriah and Jekaard hid and listened to the whole process, Uriah guessed from the conversation between the two, could the festival they were talking about be a human sacrifice?

After leaving the Vilvia manor, Uriah was still thinking about the festival they were talking about, wondering if Caesar and the others were referring to the upcoming Saccathrin festival.

After Ulea returned to the hotel, she met a pair of curious eyes as soon as she opened the door of the room.

Xie Ning, who had changed into pajamas, was like a fluffy bear. Ulea lifted him up, put him on the bed, and covered him with the quilt: "Still sleeping?"

Xie Ning lifted the quilt from his body: "I'm not sleepy."

He looked at Ulea: "What's there in Vilvia Manor?"

"curious?"

"Yeah." Xie Ning nodded.

Ulea hesitated for a moment, and hid part of what she saw in the Vilvia manor, without mentioning the content related to the festival and her own guesses.

Xie Ning was puzzled: "Why does the temple need so many children?"

Uriah casually found an excuse to perfuse him, Xie Ning always felt that something was wrong, and stared at Uriah with wide eyes: "Are you lying to me?"

Ulea nodded: "I'm just lying to you." He covered back the quilt that Xie Ning had lifted, and covered his eyes with one hand: "Go to sleep."

After pushing Xie Ning on the bed, Yulia changed her clothes, and when she came out, she saw Xie Ning who was already lying on the bed stepping on the slippers and got out of bed again.

Seeing Ulea looking at him, Xie Ning pointed to the window sill: "There is a sound there."

There was a rhythmic "tuk-tuk" knocking sound outside the window, Yulea opened the window, and standing by the window was a mechanical bird, with its wings folded, its beak was pecking at the window, and there was a rolled up paper on its chest. strip.

After Ulea took out the note, the mechanical bird stopped moving and stood motionless.

Uriah unfolded the note, Xie Ning tugged at Uriah's clothes, with "Let me see" written on his face.

Yulea squatted down, Xie Ning leaned his head over, and together with Yulea, read the contents of the note.

There are two sentences written on it.

The previous sentence is the address "Vilvia Manor."

Below it says "Looking forward to working with you."

Not signed.

Uriah and the others didn't deliberately avoid others when they were together with Adair before, and it's not surprising that someone noticed it, but Uriah didn't know what the letter writer meant by cooperation.

Ulea put away the note and picked up the mechanical bird on the window sill. This kind of bird seemed to be disposable, with a delicate structure, but it could no longer be driven after it was delivered.

The person who wrote the letter was trying his best to conceal himself, but the trace of breath left on the letter paper revealed his identity, and he was another acquaintance.

-

On the other side, Caesar, who returned to the temple, happened to meet Joshua who also came back at this time.

Both of them were wearing black cloaks, Joshua took off the hat to reveal his face, raised his eyebrows: "What a coincidence."

Joshua casually talked about what he had just seen: "Candice went to the Orcas' house." He didn't intend to go to her with her, but he accidentally saw Candice on the street who looked back suspiciously while walking. Tess followed up out of curiosity, just in time to see her knocking on the door of Orcas' house.

Caesar looked up at him, so what?

"What do you want to do?"

Joshua looked at him: "You told her to go to the Orcas family?"

"The Orcas family has always been known for their fairness. Is there any problem if I let her go to the Orcas family?" Caesar asked back.

"Then did you look for it?" Joshua asked him, "The Orcas family also knows the truth?"

"You, or you and the Orcas family, what are you going to do?"

Before today's information was sent, Joshua didn't believe that Caesar did it.

Joshua asked Caesar: "That little princess, she knew she would find out the truth, did you make it happen?"
