Chapter 426 Elaine

Due to the sudden arrival of the new owner, Mr. Harvey, the housekeeper, was not prepared enough, but Abner still saw his dedication and hospitality at the welcome dinner.

This is actually not surprising. The housekeepers and servants in the manor are relatively respectable, and their salaries are not low. Of course, they don't want to lose this precious job, and they naturally want to please Abner.

And Abner, after roughly "reading" their superficial thoughts, found that the left-behind personnel that Karen had selected before were actually quite good. Although they were somewhat selfish, they were also human. Instead, Na did not dare to use it.

Therefore, after a few mouthfuls of appetizers, Abner announced that all the original staff members in the manor could stay in their posts temporarily, with the same salary as before.

Hearing his words, the housekeeper, Mr. Harvey, and the ordinary maids all heaved a sigh of relief, and the smiles on their faces became more sincere. Then they added soup, side dishes, main dishes, staple foods, vegetables, fruits, desserts, etc. A total of more than ten or twenty ways came up one by one.

This made Wen Te, a guide who hadn't seen much in the world, couldn't help swallowing, deeply shocked and envious of his employer's luxury.

But he didn't know that Abner actually didn't want to talk about such ostentation. After all, it was all his money... But now that he's new here, it's special after all. Rather than letting the housekeeper arrange a reception banquet, it's better to use this to comfort the staff in the manor. The heart is more important.

Fortunately, this "fragrant manor" has planted many spices, and the annual production is sold, which is also a good income.

Just when Abner finished his staple food and was about to eat some fruit and dessert to deal with it, his spirituality was suddenly touched, which made him put down his knife and fork unconsciously.

Abner, who was not confident about his "accident" physique because he heard that there was going to be a dinner party in the manor, just took advantage of the opportunity of visiting the manor to arrange some simple "magic traps" in every corner.

Those "magic traps" have no lethality, except for being relatively concealed, they can only serve as a warning to oneself.

Speaking of this arrangement, Abner learned from Emma when he met Emma in the Backlund University library.

But now, he felt that his "trap" near the study on the third floor had been touched! And now is not the time for cleaning, theoretically the servants will not approach the study.

Seeing the "new owner" of the manor put down the tableware, Mr. Harvey, the housekeeper, asked nervously, "Is 'Teana' not to your liking? I can ask the chef to make some other fruit platters."

"Tyana" is a giant local specialty fruit that tastes good. After all, the future "Angel Ringing the Bell" drank the juice squeezed from this fruit before listening to Mister Fool's scripture.

"'Tyana' tastes very good, there is no need to change it again..." Abner shook his head, and after instructing the butler to arrange a room for the guide Winter, he found a reason to leave the restaurant and refused. Followed by the servant, he walked to the study on the third floor alone.

Along the way, he opened his "pure white eyes" to "backtrack", and easily discovered who the unexpected guest was.

"Brilliant red hair... emerald green eyes like jewels... the complexion is not fair, but it gives people a healthy feeling...

"The movement is very agile, and it can be determined that it is a Beyonder, or a Beyonder with enhanced physique...

"Combined with her hair color... Hunter?

"Wait... I just met the 'Vice Admiral of Disease' in Bayam... Could this be the incident that caused Elaine to escape?

"But shouldn't she have fled to the Intis Consulate? Why did she come to me?

"The most important thing is... Did Tracy catch up? If I did, how should I deal with it? Although I don't want to cause trouble as a 'hero detective' and expose too much strength, but the other party is a pirate, can't I Will really talk to me..."

With this in mind, Abner didn't want to waste any more time, and first sealed off the surrounding space with spirituality,

Then he directly opened the door and walked into the study room, and simulated "Longwei"!

It was Elaine who was hiding in the study room. She ran towards the suburbs after escaping from the Saide Chamber of Commerce.

Because she didn't dare to walk on the big road, she could only shuttle through some woods and trails. Fortunately, she is a Beyonder of the "Hunter" path and is no stranger to this kind of environment. The flowers made of ribbons around her waist were too cumbersome and cumbersome, and were a bit broken by the branches in the woods, which made her almost in a coma when she walked out of the woods.

The strong sense of shame forced Elaine to stop her escape, and sneaked into a nearby manor, intending to change into light clothes before continuing her escape.

Since a banquet was being held in the manor she sneaked into, there were many servants coming and going between the first and second floors. Elaine, who was afraid of being bumped, climbed up to the third floor with agility and stayed in a study.

What made her even more happy was that a suit of men's formal clothes happened to be placed in this study.

Yi Lian didn't care whether it fit or not, and immediately took off her half-torn skirt.

But just when she was fully dressed, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and after an invisible wave swept past, her body trembled uncontrollably, and a large area of ​​her formal pants was wet due to incontinence.

Immediately afterwards, Elaine's legs went limp, and she slumped to the ground.

Seeing this, Abner simulated the "Whip of Pain" again, held up a whip that seemed to be carrying lightning on Elaine's soul, and asked directly, "Has Tracy chased me?"

While speaking, he also carried out a certain degree of "psychological suggestion".

Under the joint influence of these three abilities, Elaine almost lost all will to resist. She didn't even think about why the other party knew that she had escaped from Tracy, so she told everything she knew.

After hearing that "Vice Admiral Illness" Tracy went out to negotiate and would not be able to return until early in the morning, Abner breathed a sigh of relief. He pondered for a moment and asked again:

"In other words, the only ones chasing you now should be the left-behind members of the chamber of commerce... and the leader is likely to be 'Smart Talker' Mithor?"

"Yes..." Feeling the "long whip" hanging high in her spirit, Elaine replied tremblingly.

"That would be much easier..." Abner squinted his eyes, and instantly had a simple but practical plan in his mind: He wanted to kill all possible pursuers, and then kill Tracy who hadn't heard of it yet. Drive out of Bayam... In this way, no one will know that "Eileen" has escaped to his manor, and the true strength of "Detective Hero" will not be exposed...at least not in a short time.

As for Elaine? In order for people not to associate "Doctor Strange" with "Heroic Detective", I can only wrong her to stay here temporarily until my "Educated" potion is completely digested.

Having made up his mind, Abner set up a guardian ritual learned from the "Book of Astrology" in the study, and "locked" Elaine inside.

Then he made a prayer and recited the honorable name of Mister Fool in a low voice:

"The fool who is not of this age;

"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;

"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck.

"I beg you to tell Mister Hanged Man that Vice Admiral Tracy is currently in Bayam's Said Chamber of Commerce, please report to the Church of Storms as soon as possible...

"I can pay for it accordingly..."

For example, the bounty of Mithor the Wise Talker!

If he really came to pursue it!
