I weave my destiny in parallel time and space
Chapter 8 Burgundy page 12)
The imperial capital tonight is destined to be unstable.
Dark clouds covered the night sky, and there were no stars or moon. The dark night made the city shrouded in fog even more hazy. Only the lights of kerosene street lamps illuminated the streets, swaying in the breeze.
Living across the street, the young Albus curiously looked through the window at the villa across the street. The two- to three-meter-high wall spread to both sides with the gate as the center.
The surrounding area, including the house he lives in, is the property of the owner of the villa, and his mother works inside the villa as a maid.
From this angle of Albus's room, you can see inside the wall.
Of course, there was a vast lawn behind the wall, and the real villa was far away from him, but here, he could still vaguely see the banquet in the courtyard.
According to his mother, it was a hundred-day banquet for the son of Duke Panacea, and many nobles would be present.
He had just seen it. He had never seen so many beautiful clothes and gorgeous carriages.
"Tick~"
The rain that had stopped falling fell again, and the previous rest seemed to be to accumulate strength for the next time.
Big raindrops fell from the sky, spreading like black blood droplets. In the rain, the presence of a person attracted his attention.
He was slender, wearing a black coat and a black umbrella, walking slowly on the sidewalk. The umbrella obscured his face, which looked so unreal in the hazy fog and darkness.
There were very few people outside in the Imperial Capital of Britannia late at night, and it was even more strange on Duke Panacea's private street.
"Dudududu!"
The piercing sirens were blaring, and a group of secret police officers wearing special uniforms and carrying long guns on their backs were trotting over in an orderly manner from the other end of the street. It seemed that something had happened.
They passed by the man and ran straight into the villa behind them.
It seemed that there was no one else there at all.
Albus frowned. Even as young as him, he noticed something was wrong at this moment.
But then, when he came back from the secret police and looked at the man in black, he met his eyes.
He was standing across the street, facing him. The black umbrella was slightly raised, revealing the face covered by the umbrella. It was an East Asian man with short black hair, but under the darkness and fog, his appearance was very hazy. .
What impressed him most was the pair of brown-black eyes, which were still bright even in the dark night.
Under Albus' gaze, the corners of his mouth curved in an imperceptible arc, then he raised his index finger and placed it on his lips, making a hissing gesture.
An unreasonable fear suddenly spread into his heart, and he shouted excitedly.
"Dad! Daddy!"
Not long after, the door was quickly opened and a man walked in.
"What's wrong? Albus."
"just."
Albus turned around, only to find that the man in black had completely disappeared. He just wanted to recall the appearance of that man, but his mind was blank, without any details.
"What's wrong?" the man asked softly.
Albus was about to say something, but his silence movement came to mind.
"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."
During their exchange, Xia Ya stood on the roof of the house where they were, holding an umbrella and quietly overlooking the villa not far away.
"This child has a strong spiritual sense," Calcifer said.
Xia Ya could not deny it, his eyes were lowered, "Although it is just a blindfold that does not consume magic power, but being able to see through it does have some talent."
After a pause, he said, "But unfortunately, I was born in the wrong era."
"You can teach him."
Xia Ya did not answer, but looked around. Not only the police, but also some troops were also rushing here.
In this era, the Marquis was the governor of the frontier and was responsible for guarding the country. Compared with the other four titles among the Dukes and Princes, the number of Marquises was the smallest, so there was no doubt about their importance. This was mainly because they were suspected of being an enemy country. There is another purpose.
Soon, the entire imperial capital should be sealed off.
And all this has nothing to do with Char. Anyway, it was not his face that he used at the banquet, and the fire could not burn him. Besides, it was not him who took away the Marquis of Os.
He silently raised his feet and flew a few hundred meters north, landing in a more hidden alley, and then stood in front of an old wooden house.
The alley is so narrow that only a carriage can fit into it, and the rainwater flows down the brick eaves, forming a rain curtain.
This is not the front door, but the back door. Xia Ya walked to the carved wooden door of this building that was blackened by old moisture. The wooden door was locked and could not be opened from the outside.
He waved his hand gently, and with a click, the wooden door opened towards him, revealing the downward stairs at the back. As Char entered, the door also closed.
This should lead to the basement.
Heilang had just entered here with the Marquis of Os. He should have studied in university in the imperial capital, so he naturally had a place to live in the imperial capital.
The basement is supposed to be a place for storing potatoes, so the decoration is average and surrounded by stone bricks, giving it a dungeon-like feel.
Since the place where potatoes are stored needs to be dry, the drainage here is good. Even if it rains heavily outside, it is not very humid except for the cold.
"Where is my sister!!?"
Heilang's suppressed angry roar came from the bottom of the stairs.
Char walked slowly to the door of the storage room, and the dim light of the burning torch became the only illumination of the storage room.
The storage room is not big, and there are only two people. Heilang, who is wearing a sneak suit, is grabbing the collar of the Marquis of Os. At this moment, the Marquis has lost his former glory, with a gray face, bruises on his face, and blood on the corners of his mouth. .
Neither of them noticed Char's arrival.
There was not much fear in the Duke of Os's eyes, and he grinned.
"I remember, you are Heilang Monique, the second son of the Monique family. You are studying in the imperial capital. When I sent someone to find you, you had already left for the snowfield.
We really should have sent some more people to avoid future troubles. "
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Hei Lang said angrily, "Tell me, where is he!?"
"Do you think I'm the same as those idiots?" Marquis Aos grinned, "I killed your whole family and told your sister's location, will you keep me?"
Heilang suddenly calmed down. He let go of the hand holding his collar and walked around the storage room anxiously.
Marquis Aos calmly tidied up his messy collar and continued, "I can responsibly tell you that in this world, I am the only person who knows your sister's whereabouts.
I was kidnapped at a grand banquet in the imperial capital. This is no small matter. The entire imperial capital will be in turmoil. All the secret police and even the army will be dispatched to search for me.
Your place is not considered hidden, so it is only a matter of time before you are found.
