Chapter 1010 Adoption
Is Viscount Field really the leader of the Holy Communion? The mentor that Bill mentioned?
Dorothy had not expected this at all. To be honest, she was not willing to believe that Viscount Field, an aristocrat who donated so much to charity every year, was such a double-dealer.
Dorothy had doubts about Viscount Field before, such as his practice of adopting a child a year, the secret songs the children sang, and his return to Egwynte six years ago. Clifford once told Dorothy that it was six years ago that he encountered the feeling he was looking for.
But it was not until Dorothy saw Bill, who had just discovered the problem, go straight to Viscount Field's private room that she was basically certain that Viscount Field should be the master of the Holy Communion.
In fact, Dorothy could have relied on divination to verify the mentor's position a long time ago, but when she was about to divine, the system reminded her that the information she was going to retrieve was shielded, which meant that the other party also used the "shadow" and "inspiration" spiritual combination to form an anti-divination prop, so Dorothy did not enter the divination.
Although she could force herself to conduct multiple divinations to compete with the opponent to see who has more divination resources, Dorothy was not sure if she could win with her limited resources. If she couldn't win, all her resources would be wasted. She could get the "Start" back, but the "Light" would be used less and less.
Moreover, even if she won, the opponent would become alert because the divination resources were consumed. Since the opponent knew that she was being divined, Dorothy did not start divination against her mentor because she did not want to alert the enemy.
However, after this wave of love tonight, Dorothy could probably confirm it without divination.
"It seems that we have to continue to take action against the Holy Communion... But now, let's listen to what they are talking about..."
Thinking of this, Dorothy controlled the gecko to crawl towards Field's private room, and found that the gap in the door of the private room was very small, and the gecko could not climb in by herself. Just when Dorothy was about to control the gecko to try from the windowsill of the private room, the door suddenly opened again, and Bill walked out.
"Damn, is the report finished already? So fast."
Seeing Bill approaching, Dorothy didn't think much about it. She controlled the gecko to continue crawling to the window of the private room to eavesdrop and monitor.
However, to her disappointment, Viscount Field was just watching the show while chatting and laughing with two children, and the butler was serving them. Dorothy did not obtain any valuable information.
Time passed, and soon the party came to an end. At this time, in the private room, the old butler standing behind Field poured half a cup of tea for Viscount Field, then leaned over and whispered.
"Master, it's almost over. It's your turn."
"Oh, I see, Luer."
After agreeing, Field drank the half cup of tea on the table, said goodbye to the two children beside him, stood up and left the private room. Accompanied by the butler, he walked to the backstage of the stage. Seeing this scene, Dorothy couldn't help but think.
"Is the party about to end? What a pity, I didn't collect any useful information..."
Not long after, the last show on the stage was finally finished, and the host continued to walk to the center of the stage.
“Wonderful moments always slip away so easily. Ladies and gentlemen, this wonderful moment has finally come to the final stage, which is the fundraising stage where you can show your love.
"First, we invite our respected Lord Viscount Field to come up as usual. He will adopt his seventh child from this year's performing children and will start by raising funds! Please give us a round of applause!"
Amidst warm applause, Viscount Field walked onto the stage with the help of his butler. Also on the stage were the children from the orphanage who had performed before, and they all stood behind Viscount Field.
“First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming again. Thanks to the grace of Our Lady, we are gathered together again…”
Then Viscount Field began to say some very polite words. After he finished, he turned around and began to walk slowly in front of countless children under their expectant gazes, examining them one by one.
Finally, Viscount Field stopped in front of a little girl and asked her with a smile.
"Cute lamb, what's your name?"
"My name is Anna! Your Excellency the Viscount!"
Anna, who was called, held up her pink skirt while trying to suppress her surprise. Viscount Field smiled and took Anna's hand, then walked to the front of the stage amid the envious gazes of the children. At the same time, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
Anna, who was holding the hand of Viscount Field, had a flushed face with excitement. She waved her other hand towards the audience in front of her and looked in the direction where Dorothy was.
In the audience, Dorothy and the other audience members were laughing and applauding, but at this moment she felt extremely heavy in her heart.
"Looks like we need to act quickly..."
…
After the adoption phase, the donation phase followed. Soon, under the leadership of Viscount Field, people from all walks of life present donated generously to the best of their ability. Dorothy also followed the crowd and donated 10 pounds.
Finally, Viscount Field gave his last emotional speech, at the end of which he said that he would go to the Charity Orphanage to pick up his seventh adopted child, Anna, the next day. Finally, the organizer excitedly announced the end of the charity, and this year's Igwynte Charity ended.
When the meeting was over, Dorothy left her seat immediately. In order to avoid Bill blocking the door and smelling the smell, she climbed out from an unmanned window on the first floor and walked all the way to her carriage.
Dorothy got on the carriage and released the crow doll to circle in the sky, watching the entrance of the theater. After a while, she saw Viscount Field walking out of the door, supported by his butler, among the crowd at the door.
Then, Dorothy saw Viscount Field and the butler walk onto a luxurious three-horse carriage on the roadside, and then drive forward. Dorothy followed all the way behind, using the vision of crows in the sky to start long-distance tracking.
This time the tracking went smoothly at first, but gradually, Dorothy discovered problems.
That is, the carriage he was riding in was a single-horse carriage, while Viscount Field's luxury carriage was pulled by three horses, and he moved much faster than himself!
"Ah... this car's horsepower isn't as high as the other side's!"
To track, at least both sides had to have the same speed, and Field's carriage was a bit advanced, and Dorothy's ordinary carriage was gradually being left behind.
The horsepower was insufficient, and there was nothing she could do. She couldn't just ride her Puma at full speed on the street, as that would make her look too arrogant and easily exposed, and the police would stop her first. When Dorothy bought the car, it was just for the convenience of moving around in the city. A one-horse carriage was enough for her at the time, but she never expected that this situation would occur now.
"Next time I must buy a high-powered car..."
Dorothy thought helplessly in her heart. Just like that, due to the difference in horsepower, Dorothy was left further and further behind until the distance between the two sides exceeded three miles, which was the control radius of Dorothy's corpse.
Finally, because Dorothy's signal tower moved too slowly, her remote-controlled crow puppet could no longer track the carriage, and could only watch Viscount Field's luxurious carriage drive north out of the city and towards the mountains north of Igwynte.
Rumor has it that the mansion and several villas built by Viscount Field are located in the forest on the northern mountain of Igwinter. Viscount Field rarely invites people to his mansion, and this old nobleman always maintains a sense of mystery to the citizens of Igwind.
The pursuit failed. Dorothy stopped the carriage, leaned back on the seat and took a deep breath. Then she began to sort out the information, thinking
"Huh... Is it time to adopt someone tomorrow? This might be an opportunity... Looks like I have to send some money to my brother again."
