Matthew's departure from the South District cannot be made public. Nord claimed that he was a distant relative in his own country, and had to move to the North District because of some incidents.

As for where it can be more barren than the North District, it is not a matter of careful study.

Because of the blood hunting token, the carriage has not been inspected, and Matthew and Manda have not really shown their faces until they entered Nord's house.

Nord is a suspicious and experienced hunter. Many civilians in the blood hunt are politicians from the southern district to make a living. Matthew cannot appear in the blood hunt.

Heidi and Bella were very happy to receive such two guests. Heidi had heard about Matthew many times from Nord, and had met several times, but Manda was the one who was more acquainted.

As soon as Manda got off the carriage, she gave Heidi an affectionate face-to-face gift. The two women with similar families and somewhat similar personalities formed a friendship during the war.

"Long time no see, Mr. Matthew." Heidi took Manda's hand, saluted Matthew, and brought the group into the house.

It was a lively night tonight, with Heidi and Manda preparing dinner in the kitchen and some awkwardness among the men in the living room.

Andre and Lyons didn't want to stay at Nord's house, but they couldn't talk about Matthew in Bloodhunt, so they had to take this opportunity to explain clearly.

Heidi made black tea and served some handmade desserts to the guests.

A thin light leaked from the cubicle next to the living room, and Heidi put tea and snacks and called out to the shivering light, "Bella?"

The small wooden door shook a few times and opened a little.

Heidi stepped forward, held onto the door frame, looked at the bulging eyes inside the door, and asked softly, "Bella, your favorite Uncle Matthew is here, do you want to come out and take a look?"

Through Heidi's eyes, the little girl looked at the strange guest from the gap, and then pushed open the wooden door after hesitation.

Heidi was very happy with Bella's initiative, and pulled the girl towards the living room.Bella held her mother's hand tightly, her eyes shrank, and she tilted her head to look at Matthew like a kitten, as if she didn't recognize him.

"Bella." Matthew squatted down and looked at the girl, "Long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Heidi: "Uncle Matthew gave you a lot of toys, remember?"

Bella blinked, and rushed forward to hug Matthew like an oriole, showing an unskilled smile: "Uncle Matthew."

"She has always liked you very much. When she mentioned traveling to the South District, she would ask me if I could meet Uncle Matthew." Heidi said with a smile.

Matthew simply supported Bella and picked her up to sit back on the sofa.Bella was very quiet, lying next to his ear and whispering softly: "I like your gift, thank you Uncle Matthew."

When Nord came back, he was very surprised to see the clingy daughter. After saying hello to Matthew, he squatted beside Bella and Matthew, like a wronged tiger, and even delayed the discussion until after dinner.

Manda also has good craftsmanship. She and Heidi have not seen each other for a long time, and there are too many things to talk about, which are finally displayed by delicious dishes.

The portion of black bread that belonged to Andre in the morning finally filled Lyons' stomach.Humble feta toast is no match for rosemary baked potatoes and seared lamb shank, tossed in creamy butter.

Andre, who entered the human family again, is still a little uncomfortable. In this gathering, everyone except him has common memories and topics. Even Bella will be teased by Matthew and Manda. smile.

As a vampire with no position and no interest, he had no choice but to enjoy his relatively high-class craft in silence and observe everyone's demeanor and movements.

Both Heidi and Bella welcome the news that Matthew and Manda will be staying at home for a while.Andre cut off the fat inside the leg of lamb, and ate the crispy skin and tender lean meat alone, thinking about this harmonious picture.

The men at the dinner table tacitly avoided dangerous topics, and kept everything in the narrow and dark attic.

About this matter, Lioness probably already informed Nord in a letter, and Nord is not clear about the next step.According to the usual practice, if there is a problem with the blood hunter, it will be reported to the church, and Nord has the same attitude as Matthew when it comes to the backtracking formation.

Human nature cannot stand the test of interests.

Nord believed it.

In the end, several people reached a consensus that Nord would pay attention to the movements of the royal family, and would find a secret residence for Matthew in a few days, and the banned books would be secretly transported to the blood hunting warehouse.

This information was relayed to Andre later by Lions.

During the discussion in the attic, Andre sat firmly on the sofa, showing no intention of participating.After the hunters disappeared up the stairs, Andre avoided Heidi and Manda and pushed open the small wooden door at the edge of the living room.

Bella's room was very dark, and the light was scattered on a small wooden table from the dormer window covered by thick leaves.There are all kinds of wooden ornaments piled up in the room, and there are many fragmented parts piled up on the wooden table.

The girl sits cross-legged at the wooden table with her back to the door, fiddling with loose parts.The "squeak" sound of the wooden door opening caught her attention. Bella turned her head and stared at the "uninvited guest" with bright eyes. Without crying or fear, she blinked and said, "Uncle, are you A vampire?"

Andre closed the wooden door, blocking the dazzling living room lights from the door: "Nord told you?"

Bella shook her head: "Mom said so. Mom said you are Uncle Lyons' friend, so don't worry about it."

"Did I scare you?" Andre squatted down and sat beside Bella. His skin was paler than the girls who stayed in the house all year round.

"No, you're pretty." Bella turned the blond hair that fell on her fingertips, and pointed to the doll on the bed, "Better than her."

Andre followed the girl's fingers and saw that the doll on the bed had light golden hair and was made of coarse cloth with a reddish-brown dress, which was extremely cute.

"..." Andre spent two seconds thinking about the similarities between him and this fat baby, and then gave up understanding the little girl's world.

"You are much cuter than Nord." Andre looked at Bella and raised the corners of his mouth.

The blood race has an exquisite appearance, neither too soft nor too rough.

Bella lives in a dark hut, and the most beautiful person she has ever seen is the young Heidi. She can't understand the danger hidden under Andre's tall nose and cheekbones, but feels a little bit of pity for the praise happy.

Andre smelled a shy sweetness in the dull and lonely air, and he looked down at Bella, shaking his doubts.

"What gift did Matthew give you?" Andre asked.

"How do you know?" The girl frowned, looking at Andre seriously.

Andre pointed to his ears: "The vampire's ears are very useful."

Bella looked at Andre's looming ears hidden under the blond hair. The earlobes were smileier than humans, and the auricles were pointed, like wolves.

"Same as Jim." Bella muttered and held up the toy in her hand, "This is my gift, and these are all mine."

The things Matthew gave Bella were all small things made of wood, and the parts were complicated, and it took a lot of time to put them together.

Although the room is dark, the smell is very pure.

He was like a monster who broke into the princess's room, the coldness on his body was incompatible with the faint smell of blood.

The parts on Bella's table are much more complicated than a few assembled pieces. Andre picked up a piece of wood and asked, "Mind if I help?"

After talking about the matter, Nord noticed the empty living room and the closed wooden door. He immediately looked serious and asked where Heidi Bella was.

Heidi, who had a good chat with Manda, turned pale after hearing the idea, knocked on the wooden door with trembling hands, and called Bella's name cautiously.

Lyons was arranged on the sofa by Nord, and his opinions were not accepted.Lyons pressed Nord's edged silver gun down and said, "Don't be so nervous, Nord. Andre won't hurt Bella."

Nord swept over Liones sharply, and finally pinned the gun to his side for easy access.

Several pairs of eyes stared at the wooden door with vigilance or worry.

Amid the knocking and shouting that gradually became more urgent, the wooden door creaked open.

Bella's pure and beautiful eyes were revealed, and Heidi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bella, come out." Nodra opened the wooden door, trying to drag her daughter out, but the rescued girl glanced at him and closed the wooden door with a "bang".

The atmosphere became tense.

Heidi took out the key and hurriedly opened the wooden door. No violent and cruel scenes as expected appeared. The hut was still the same, full of wooden toys. The only difference was that only a small pile of parts remained on the wooden table. Next to it stands an elaborate model of a chapel.

Bella grabbed Andre's clothes, with a lock of blond hair on her fingertips, and hid her body behind him, with only half of her eyes exposed.

Andre held up the parts at his fingertips, and said hello to Nord with a stiff expression: "Your daughter is very smart, President Nord."

Andre set the parts on the church and straightened up under Nord's defensive eyes.

There is almost inaudible grievance and fear in the air.

Andre looked at Bella, the girl turned her back with the chapel in her arms, and returned to her previous appearance.

The girl looked like the bat that the Vijorel family was asked to control their weight, and it was an eyesore.

Andre frowned, turned around and picked up a part and put it on the chapel: "There is only a little left, the president won't be so stingy, right?"

Lions pulled out the loaded gun from Nord's pocket, and Matthew pushed the ugly-faced Nord, smiled at Bella and said, "Uncle Bella and Dad can fight, Andre is going back, we Don't bother the guests."

Bella nodded, and Andre tactfully left space for Nord, and narrowed his eyes when he saw the silver gun in Lyons' hand, and said, "President Nord is really not a person worthy of liking."

Facts have proved that the blood race's understanding of humans is accurate enough.

A few days after this dinner, Nord's face darkened even more.Lions asked, but the other party kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.It wasn't until I met Heidi later that I learned that Nord made Bella cry that night.

Andre was not surprised by this.

Matthew and Manda lived in Nord's house for only a few days before moving to a remote area.

Dry wood was burning in the fireplace in the castle, and the gentle fire light illuminated half of the sofa.

Mi Sa nestled in the arms of his master and licked his fur, and then indulged in finding a comfortable place to step on the milk.

Andre scratched the back of Mass's neck, thought for a long time and chose to give up tearing it apart.

"squeak--"

There was an abrupt and sharp cry mixed with the crackling sparks.

Andre looked at the window, and a bat squeezed in through the gap with a letter in its claws.

He had an agreement with Lyons that if things progressed, he would send them by letter, but...

Andre looked at the dark green envelope with a faint fragrance, and tore apart the mass that was in the midst of his excitement.

This is not the envelope a hunter would use.

The handwriting on the letter paper is beautiful, and the writing is rigid and polite.

[Mr. Andre, I think I found information about the backtracking formation.Matthew has stayed away from things related to the royal family and forbidden arts. I don't want these to disturb our lives.I am willing to tell you the information, if you are willing, please come to me the day after tomorrow.
