Chapter 160 Confused Pan
They had a pleasant conversation in the afternoon, but that didn't stop Samuel from smilingly seeing the guests off with his butler as he had said, and he really didn't keep the relatives for dinner.
"It's getting late, aunt, cousin... everyone, hurry back home. Be careful on the road and don't run into the living dead."
As soon as the meat was cut, the relatives who had wanted to make some fun immediately lost their mood and got into the carriage one after another. The wheels rolled faster than a dog biting a ball.
Samuel was in a good mood.
"Paine." Samuel clapped his hands, trying to shake off the perfume that the ladies had left on his clothes. He turned to the butler and said, "Go pick up a bottle of wine. I want to celebrate our mansion's huge fortune this evening."
It’s more than just making a fortune, the housekeeper thought.
"Okay, I'll go right away." He responded respectfully.
Samuel played with Chuan Chuan in the garden for a long time. As the sun set and the gloomy atmosphere became increasingly heavy, he leisurely went to the small restaurant on the second floor to eat.
This was where he had previously had dinner with Bishop Cassius, and it was much more private than the main dining room on the first floor.
On the table was a richer meal than usual, and a bottle of wine half-decanted in a crystal glass.
There was no one to serve him, and the thoughtful butler guessed that he wanted to enjoy this joyful moment alone.
——Samuel took over ten tons of gold from his relatives.
How much is ten tons of gold? It's ten medium-sized suitcases, or a mountain of gold that takes up half a room.
According to the agreement, as a reward for keeping the gold, Samuel could get one thousandth of the total amount, or ten kilograms.
Ten kilograms of gold. If Samuel wanted to use them to enchant magic, the magic gold jewelry he made would be enough for him to buy ten more manors similar to the Governor's Palace.
The butler thought Samuel was in a good mood because of his generous reward.
He didn't know that Samuel didn't even care about the ten kilograms of gold.
He wanted to rob the robbers and embezzled ten tons of gold.
These ten tons of gold were enough for Samuel to live well anywhere, and also enough for him to try every possible way to cure his half-human, half-ghost appearance.
Samuel couldn't be happier when he thought that ten tons of gold would be delivered right under his nose tomorrow morning.
Compared to when he first arrived, the situation where his relatives threatened him in various ways and wanted to divide the mansion was completely reversed - now Samuel was going to swallow up all their wealth without making a fuss.
It started from hell and the operation was amazing, nothing more than this.
Samuel drank half a bottle of red wine happily, then carried the remaining half back to the bedroom.
When he met the butler on the way, Samuel gave an impromptu performance.
He told the butler that if Bishop Cassius came to ask him to go on patrol, he should tell him that he was in a bad mood because Mr. Hermann was seriously ill and needed to take a day off.
The housekeeper was silent for a few seconds and asked him, "Will your illness get better?"
Samuel said, "I don't know. It depends on the situation and whether everyone wants him to recover."
Then I went upstairs.
After returning to the room and placing the bottle of wine on the flower table, Samuel's expression immediately returned to normal. His slightly flushed face did not show any sign of drunkenness.
He had used his drunkenness to tell the butler and Bishop Cassius about Mr. Hermann. Firstly, he wanted to paralyze the butler, making him think he was a layman who wanted to rise to power, so that he would follow him obediently. Secondly, he wanted to fulfill his agreement with Bishop Cassius and give him some information about Mr. Hermann, urging him to quickly find someone to intervene in the investigation.
Samuel hoped that there would be chaos in the governor's palace so that he could find an opportunity to escape with the puppy.
But before that, he had to make everyone think that he would not leave and that he had ambitions for power and other things, so that they would let down their guard.
As soon as I sat down on the sofa, Arnold followed me eagerly.
"Mother, I've been waiting for you for a whole day." The puppy hugged Samuel's waist aggrievedly.
It just so happened that Samuel was reviewing his brain and found this kid.
Samuel discovered that the so-called genius alchemist, who followed him around, went in and out with him, and fed him, actually made no contribution to their small team and did nothing serious.
Day after day, all he does is drink milk.
From the beginning in hell to everything under control, it was all Samuel's hard work alone.
Thinking of this, Samuel was not very happy.
He broke free from Arnold's embrace and sat down next to him.
"Don't get close to me," he said.
Arnold didn't understand why his mother treated him like this and ignored him even though he had been so well behaved the whole day.
The puppy felt wronged and wanted to bark.
"I was very good today." Arnold emphasized.
"Oh." Samuel said indifferently.
If you make no substantial contribution and can't even be a good boy, why should I support you?
Perhaps because he had already included Arnold in his own group, Samuel's attitude towards him changed from trying to win him over in the beginning to being natural and casual now.
He showed his true character to Arnold.
The same fate, insanity, and obsession with himself... these constitute Samuel's indulgence and favoritism towards Arnold.
I want to take the puppy away from this man-eating place.
"Arnold," Samuel asked him, "Do you have anything important? You can move it to my room soon and take it with you when the time comes."
"No," Arnold said, "My mother is the most important thing to me."
Samuel smiled.
The puppy is stupid, but that's just the right thing to please him.
He was the only one Samuel could trust here, the only one he could relax in front of...
"Arnold." Samuel's face suddenly darkened. "Do you think I can't feel you biting my button?"
Is this kid stealing milk?
Samuel was speechless. He pushed Arnold away, stood up, hid in the bathroom and locked the door.
Arnold was left alone on the sofa, pouting in grievance.
"I don't……"
Arnold actually wanted to tell Samuel that the most important thing to him was in Samuel's body, and he had given his heart to his mother for safekeeping a long time ago.
That was Arnold's most precious thing.
Arnold had never heard the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", otherwise he would know that puppies like him with many criminal records were Samuel's main targets of prevention.
Whenever he glanced at Samuel's chest, Samuel would suspect that he was trying to steal milk again.
…
Today, Samuel asked the butler to reject Bishop Cassius's invitation to patrol on his behalf. After thinking about it carefully, he still felt that it was not appropriate.
He sat down at his writing desk, dipped his quill into ink, and wrote a letter to Bishop Cassius.
Dear Cassius,
Good luck with your letter.
Please forgive me for not going on patrol with you tonight. I am really busy with many things and have to stay at home to deal with them.
Now, I can tell you for sure that I think Mr. Herman is most likely dead, because there has been no movement in the basement these days, especially no magical reaction.
As for Mr. Hermann's relatives, I guess they must know how the previous eleven matrons (excluding Arnold's biological mother) were murdered, because they have hinted so to me.
There is even a high probability that they are Mr. Herman's accomplices.
Also, do you know anything about Arnold? If you can, please tell me. I found that my relatives are very afraid of Arnold. They think Arnold is the mastermind behind this zombie incident.
I had to spend a lot of time to appease them.
But don't worry, my situation has improved recently, and I think I can collect more clues for you as soon as possible.
I will spend the whole night reading the tome and going to Arnold's room to look at things related to alchemy, trying to find a way to restrict the actions of the living dead.
Please be careful and safe when patrolling.
My heart is with you all the time.
Beloved
Samuel
"Arnold, please help me get the perfume from the bathroom cabinet. It's in the orange glass bottle." Samuel said.
"Oh." The puppy ran errands obediently.
The crystal bottle contains eau de parfum, which has an oily texture and a rich floral scent. One drop is enough.
Samuel dropped a drop on the desk, and a minute later the letter paper became fragrant.
It's as if the fragrance of a person has inadvertently seeped into the paper.
"Mother, what are you writing?" Arnold asked.
"Children shouldn't ask about adults' affairs," Samuel replied.
I almost forgot, Arnold can read.
But I guess you can't understand the content of the letter?
Samuel originally wanted to go and deliver the letter to the Vatican in person, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea - he didn't want to go out and be contaminated by the smell of death.
He folded the letter into a paper airplane, used a directional magic that he had just learned tonight, opened the window, and threw the paper airplane out, letting it go to find Bishop Cassius who was still patrolling the street.
Samuel turned around and saw Arnold's curious look, so he teased him, "Do you like paper airplanes? I'll teach you how to fold one when you have one."
"Yeah!" Arnold nodded.
Low-IQ puppies are quite easy to raise.
·
At midnight, the god Pan descends.
Because of the misunderstanding that happened to Mei Yang, he had to travel back and forth in the past, but he could not find a way to open the passage.
To no avail, he could only return to the present.
A few days ago, I met Amber in the Holy Mountain and was told that there were time travelers again, and this time there were several of them.
Pan Shen always felt that now was the opportunity he had been waiting for - it was his misjudgment against Mei Yang before.
Amber told him the news but did not allow him to go to the East Continent, so Pan had to find a way out on his own.
Excluding the three in the East Continent, the one in the holy mountain guarded by a giant dragon, and the one in the nightmare fog, Mei Yang was taken back to three thousand years ago by him and is still hunting now.
The only one left is this one in Golden Town.
Thinking that it was the Golden Town, Pan thought about it and decided to solve the orc issue at the same time in order to repay the information Amber gave him.
Otherwise, if she really came back and saw the three brothers fighting, she would definitely be angry.
Pan drives the living dead in the golden town to collect gold for him.
It’s been three days, it’s almost time to wrap up.
So at midnight, Pan appeared in the sky above the golden town.
Frequent time travel would make his memory unstable occasionally. It was not until he arrived here that Pan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a very talented little apprentice who had asked for leave from him some time ago to go home and visit his father - his father had found a new stepmother for him.
Pan planned to take this opportunity to visit his little apprentice.
But according to the coordinates left on the little apprentice, Pan's face darkened. How could he have been gone for so many years? How could the little apprentice be dead?
Searching for the past is even more incredible——
The words "Eat, eat, eat, you suck your father's milk, get out of here!" scared Pan so much that he fell from mid-air into the flowers.
What era is it now?
Why does my little apprentice want to drink milk?
