After leaving Momang Palace, Paimon finally couldn't hold it in anymore and called out to Alechino: "Servant, what were you talking about with Violet just now?

There are lakes and rivers, could it be that... you are discussing some water-related project?"

"Are you two curious? Now doesn't seem to be the time to care about this." Alechino did not explain, but just said it lightly and planned to take the patrol ship.

Paimon and Ying looked at each other and followed helplessly. They knew that they had to find a way now. If they didn't try to stop Alechino, they would have to go back to Baisong Town and discover everything Linnie had done.

Alechino has already said that as long as Linny "destroys the evidence", she will let bygones be bygones, but Ying thinks that this is a kind of self-confidence.

Alechino was confident that Linnie couldn't do it all.

Paimon urged from the side: "Ying, are you trying to find a solution? Come on!"

Ying frowned and looked at the back of Alechino in front of her.

She could feel the murderous intent emanating from Alechino, which was a completely different feeling from Saphir. In Saphir's hands, the murderous intent seemed to have become a weapon that could easily destroy a person's will and make the other person surrender. Even if it could not be done when facing certain strong people, it could be used to suppress the other party. This could be considered a means.

But Arlecino’s murderous intent... is purer, or rather, in Ying’s perception, such murderous intent does not match Arlecino. It is a very strange feeling.

The intensity of murderous intent is not determined by strength. In other words, the stronger the person, the less likely they are to release their murderous intent. Ying had seen Saphir kill someone, and at that time, she didn't detect any murderous intent at all, and that person died.

So Ying felt that this was what a master would do, hiding his murderous intent and delivering a fatal blow at the right time.

Releasing murderous intent at will is what a rookie would do, but Alechino is obviously not a rookie, so why did she do this?

Ying felt a flash of inspiration in her mind, but she couldn't catch it.

She tried hard to think and come up with a reasonable explanation, but she didn't notice that a person who was just running was running straight towards her.

The man was only looking in other directions and didn't notice someone walking in front of him, and the two people bumped into each other.

Ying was knocked back and staggered, while the man who knocked her fell to the ground with a thud, obviously he was hit hard.

"Hiss... It hurts, it hurts..." The man covered his head and felt like he had hit a wall. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the person he had hit and was stunned. It was a little girl?

Without having time to think about why a little girl could be so strong, he quickly asked, "Are you okay?" After asking, he struggled to get up, "It's all my fault. I was so busy selling newspapers that I didn't look at the road ahead."

Ying shook her head and looked at the man who got up from the ground: "It's okay, I was just thinking about something."

She felt that the man in front of her looked familiar, especially the horizontal scar on his face. She must have seen him somewhere recently, but she couldn't remember where at the moment.

"Please accept this newspaper as compensation." The man said to himself and took out a newspaper from his bag.

Ying took the newspaper and continued to stare at the man's face. The more she looked, the more familiar he looked.

Little Paimeng didn't think too much about it and declined politely: "No, I'm so embarrassed."

"It's okay, I still have a lot on hand. If I put off delivering newspapers until tomorrow, I won't be able to deliver them all." The man smiled gently, "It's all my fault. I wanted to make more money to supplement the family expenses, so I bought too much at once. As a result, not many people read newspapers today, and they haven't been sold out yet."

The commotion here quickly attracted Alechino's attention. She glanced at the man selling newspapers and walked over: "What are you talking about?"

"It's okay! I just accidentally bumped into this friend. I'll leave now." Perhaps seeing that Alecino was a little scared, the man quickly apologized and prepared to leave.

This is also normal. Alechino does not have the harmless appearance like Saphir. She has always been a person who keeps strangers away since she was a child.

It was only after she became an executive that she started trying to soften herself because she had to deal with a group of children. Otherwise, no one would be willing to talk to her wherever she went.

This is also the reason why Saphir can get together with her. After all, that girl likes to stick to her since she entered the Hearth House, and she is the type that cannot be driven away.

At that time, Saphir still had memories of the present world and knew some of the game's plot. He was a fan of Alechino, who played fools in the winter night, so he wanted to build a good relationship with the other party and hold the executive's thigh.

Later, the two really became very good sisters, and the original desire to curry favor had disappeared, or rather, it was no longer important.

As the man turned to leave, Alechino suddenly called him.

The man who was stopped was a little panicked. He was afraid of Alechino and was also worried that the other party would use this to blackmail him for money. He was very poor and had no ability to compensate.

"Well...if compensation is required, I don't have any cash." The man gritted his teeth and told his predicament.

It is foolish to reveal your wounds when facing difficulties. If the person has bad intentions, he will only add insult to injury and deal with you in more despicable ways. But he really has no other choice, so he can only pray for mercy from the superior in this way.

Alechino did not disappoint him, she took out a handful of Mora and handed it over: "Take three newspapers, this is Mora."

Looking at the bright and golden Mora, the man smiled and said, "Ah? Thank you for your patronage! God bless you to make a fortune!"

He took Mora at lightning speed and gave three newspapers to Alechino, sighing sincerely: "It would be great if I could meet a generous person like you every day..."

Then he felt that this was not appropriate, as if he was taking advantage of the other party, so he quickly said, "I was just kidding. I'd better buy fewer newspapers tomorrow. I can't be anxious just because I'm getting married soon. Goodbye, everyone!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away, his steps were very fast, and he was jumping up and down, and it was obvious that he was very happy.

This person doesn't have any ulterior motives. He just says what he thinks and reveals all his secrets.

Ying felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of life. Whatever she had was acceptable. It was plain and satisfying. Unlike herself, she was still scheming against others, which was really tiring.

"Now that we're done, let's take a boat back to Baisong Town. We can also read the newspaper to kill time on the way." After saying this, Alechino planned to take a boat.

Little Paimeng quickly pulled Ying's clothes, asking her to say something.

But Ying just kept looking at the newspaper seller who had walked away and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, little Paimeng realized that Ying could not be counted on, so he blurted out, "Wait a minute, let's go shopping again, shall we? Oh, by the way, I'm hungry, and I have to eat before I can go back!"

She looked very determined and didn't care about anything else. Anyway, she could seek refuge in Saphir if anything went wrong, so she really wasn't afraid of Alechino anymore.

Alechino didn't react to Paimon's rude behavior, but thought it was funny: "How dare you talk to me like that. It seems that Aurora has really spoiled you.

You still have some beautiful fantasies that the situation may turn around if you delay for a while.

It's a pity that this struggle is meaningless.

However, I am willing to give Linny and the others a little more time, provided that you are willing to agree to one of my conditions.

In addition, I will also answer your questions. For example, who is Krewei, and what is her relationship with me and Aurora..."

"You... why are you so generous all of a sudden? You don't want us to do anything bad, do you?" As expected, although she was not afraid, Arlecino still seemed to be considered a bad woman in Paimon's eyes.

Alechino shook his head: "Don't overestimate yourself. You don't have the talent to do bad things."

How can someone who can’t even lie do anything bad?

Looking at the two innocent little guys, Alechino was actually quite relieved. Fortunately, these two guys did not learn Saphir's skill of lying without blinking.

That girl could lie with her eyes open, calling black white, and even sell people and let them count the money for her.

"In negotiations, the most important thing is the exchange of interests. Simply demanding or threatening will not get the desired results." Alecino did not answer directly, but said this.

This would be fine if they viewed their relationship from a normal, transactional perspective.

Ying was also relieved about this, and most importantly, she remembered it.

She remembered who the man was just now. Because of this, Ying was very confident now: "Okay, I promise you."

"Are you so confident? Don't you even ask about the conditions?" Alechino was a little surprised.

Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “I believe in Saphir’s judgment of people. Although she always calls herself a bad person, I think she is a good person who has tarnished her own reputation.

Her bad reputation is just to make it easier for her to do many things. If that's the case, I think the person she likes and loves the most can't be that bad.

Besides, I can almost guess your conditions. In the morning, Safir told me, let me think about what a guest should do when parents are educating their children.

My first reaction was to find an excuse to leave, which was the standard answer, but it was not the right answer. ”

"Oh?" Alecino was a little interested. She raised her eyebrows. "So, what is your answer?"

Ying looked at Alechino, observing her micro-expressions, and did not see any anger on her face, so she realized that she probably already knew the answer: "My answer is..."

"It's almost time. I have to go first. I have to go see my friend for the last time before he leaves." At the Beaumont Workshop, Saphir took a look at the sky and estimated that it was almost time, so he said to the people who were discussing on the side.

When Fushe saw what Saphir was wearing, he knew she would have similar arrangements today, so he nodded.

Thinking of his brothers and sisters, he said again: "Don't miss them too much. Leaving is inevitable."

"I have experienced many separations, and this time is no more painful than the others. It is just that she is the first flower to wither in my short life, so it is more sad.

If I weren't there, she would be the only light in someone's life, so special. I... admit this specialness, but also feel upset about my incompetence.

It is not easy to reverse life and death. I could have done it, or should have done it, but I failed to catch up. Missing it is a deeper despair than parting. Haha... I don't mind savoring it carefully. "Sapphire left, leaving everyone in silence.

In the southern part of the eastern foothills of Mount Mansos, at a ruin that had long collapsed, when Alecino and his companions arrived, Saphir was already standing there, looking like he was reminiscing about something.

"This is..." Little Paimon didn't understand why she was brought here, but she was sharp-eyed and soon found Saphir, "Huh? That person... is it Saphir? Why is she..."

"She was wearing a dress that she would wear to a funeral, with a white flower pinned to her chest." Alecino walked over and explained, "This is an inconspicuous ruin. It used to be a magnificent building, but now... only these broken walls are left."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Saphir turned around and looked at the three people who had arrived late: "More than ten years ago, a battle took place here. It was me and Sister Lei fighting against the servants of the previous generation. You should be able to guess the final result."

"The previous servant died, and Alechino took over." Ying spoke softly, stating the fact that was right in front of them and there was no need to guess.

Alechino nodded and said, "Yes, I was the one who killed the previous servant. I personally stabbed a spear into her heart.

This is also what Tartaglia said about my betrayal of Hearth House. Killing the 'mother' of Hearth House was naturally a betrayal.

Besides, before I killed her, I killed her daughter, a girl named Krevy. "

"What!" Paimon and Ying's eyes widened instantly, and little Paimon even exclaimed, "You killed Klevi!"

Ying did not yell, but asked calmly: "Why do you do this?"

"Don't be anxious. This is a...slightly long story. Let me tell it from the beginning from Krevy's perspective." Alechino's voice was very soft, and the breeze blew her hair, making her look a little sad.

...

From Alechino's narration, Ying learned about the past stories of the Hearth House, the previous servants Kugavina, Krevi, Peruvian, and the little follower named Saphir who always followed Peruvian.

The Hearth House's policy of raising Gu was also thoroughly revealed, but as for the whereabouts of those so-called unqualified children, Alechino simply said "I'm not sure either."

But she looked at Safire, and it was obvious that this matter required Safire to explain.

In response, Safir shrugged: "That was the matter of the previous second executive officer. It has nothing to do with today's matter. Let's not discuss it."

"Saphir, did you kill the second seat later? So that's why you became the second seat?" Paimon had already started to imagine.

Saphir nodded: "That's true."

Ying narrowed her eyes. She remembered Dotore and knew that he was keen on human experiments. Saphir and him were sworn enemies. The reason was obvious now. This was a hatred that had been formed when she was very young. It was not something that was formed overnight.

"What happened to Klevi after that?" Little Paimon asked, "You just said that Klevi is Kugavina's biological daughter. If Klevi goes to dissuade her mother, Kugavina... should listen to her, right?"

Hearing this, Saphir suddenly laughed out loud: "Blood? Mother? How can someone who doesn't understand love be subject to this?"

"That's right. Although Krevy is Kugavina's biological daughter, Kugavina has no feelings for her. She let her join Hearth House just to prove her mother's fairness to others." Alechino said calmly, "After persuasion failed, Krevy wanted to stand up and resist.

But unfortunately, the other children were immersed in the beautiful dreams woven by Kujavina, embracing false happiness.

Of course, there are two exceptions here. One is a person who is the same age as Klevi, her name is Peruvian.

The other one is a younger child who always pesters Peruvian. Her name is Saphir. "

Ying looked at Saphir on the side: "Saphir is here, then Peruvili..."

"The Pepe that Klevy mentioned is Peluviri, right? She mentioned that Pepe is her friend!" Little Paimon didn't think too much about it, but just associated it with what Klevy said.

Alechino watched the light in Saphir's eyes gradually dim, and slowly turned his face away: "Friend... Let's call him that for now."

"But if that's what you said, why did Krevy never mention Saphir? Isn't that strange?" Ying asked the blind spot.

It was Safire who answered her: "Because, she doesn't know me."
