Cloud Thinking

"I've lived here for a long time, and the rooms are arranged according to my habits. You can just make do with it tonight, and I'll ask someone to rearrange it for you tomorrow."

Carlisle and the others ultimately failed to stop Helia from "going deep into the tiger's den" and allowed Ansel to lead people to their room. The two stood aside and watched the servants coming in and out to carry things.

The bed, which was originally dominated by black and white, was soon replaced with light pink sheets, quilts and pillows, and even two or three cute dolls were placed at the head of the bed.

All the men's clothes in the closet were taken away and emptied, and instead a large pile of clothes of various colors were stuffed in, from summer to winter, from casual clothes to formal dresses, all were available, and each set of clothes had corresponding accessories, all stored in the multi-layer cabinet on the side.

He even set aside a special space for a dressing table, which was filled with a wide variety of cosmetics, showing how much Ansel cared about it.

However, the things on the desk have not been put away, as well as the shelf full of books behind the desk. I don’t know if Ansel really reads them or just puts them there to show off.

"How about it, are you satisfied with what you saw?"

Satisfied, how could she not be satisfied? It was far beyond her expectations!

In fact, Helia had been sleeping in the open air and was covered in dust all the way. Since she could ride a horse, she did not take a carriage this time. She simply packed some clothes and stuffed them into a box, and followed the others on horseback.

If they failed to reach a town or village before dark for two or three days, they would just find an open space to sleep in, using the sky as their bed and the ground as their blanket, not to mention taking a shower.

Before they arrived at Kenleka, they had expected to live in an old house that had been abandoned for many years. But now it was a blessing in disguise. Because the abandoned mansion of the Fitros family contained unknown traps, they had no choice but to find Ansel, and then...

Staying in a super luxurious castle! With a soft and comfortable bed, delicious hot food, and a rose petal bath! It's just too good!

"It's barely acceptable." Although Helia was extremely satisfied, she still had to pretend.

"Then you should have a good rest tonight. We can discuss anything important tomorrow morning. You are tired too."

Ansel clapped his hands, and soon, a group of young and beautiful maids filed in and stood in a row in front of Helia.

"These are the ones I chose to take care of you. Just tell them if you need anything."

Ansel was tactful enough not to disturb them too much. After arranging everything, he was about to leave, but before he walked out the door, he was stopped by Helia.

"and many more."

He turned around and looked at Helia with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there something missing?"

Helia pointed to a desk not far away that was piled with official documents. "Why don't you ask someone to move those things away? You're just leaving such important things here for me? Aren't you afraid that I'll just rummage through them?"

Ansel shrugged nonchalantly and said jokingly, "It doesn't matter. Princess, just take a look. As the future hostess, it's reasonable for you to learn about the family business in advance, isn't it?"

"Haha!" Helia just laughed twice without any emotion, then turned away and stopped looking at him.

She rested well tonight and didn't feel out of place at all. Perhaps it was because the incense in the room had a calming effect, or perhaps it was because she was really tired from the long journey.

(Xiao Si, have you found more detailed information about the Fitros family?)

Helia sat in front of the dressing table and let the pretty and soft maids dress her up. She drooped her eyelids and talked to the system in a daze in her mind.

[My Lord, you know that I only have information about the original novel. Not to mention you, the vicious female supporting character, even Camelin's information is pitifully scarce, not to mention the Fitros family, which was only mentioned in one sentence in the original novel.]

(Didn’t the Lord God Space give you any new information?)

[No. Even if I were to be given additional information, it would only be after a new limited scenario mission was triggered that I would be able to obtain information related to the mission.]

[I am just a small system. If I submit a report, it will be suppressed for several days before it can be seen. How can I have such great magical powers to obtain additional information...]

[If it is the Long Aotian branch next door, it is possible. After all, their department produces talents and can give back a lot of energy. They are just like the eldest son of the Lord God! ]

(What about you? What does your evil girl transformation division belong to?)

[Um... If I must say, our department is like our own name in the eyes of the Lord God. We are considered to be a bad woman who ruins the family...]

. . . . . .

[After all, our branch requires a lot of resources, but the returns are pitifully small. ]

[If I hadn't collected a large amount of readers' disgust and anger values, I'm afraid the transformation would not be possible. But the problem is that readers don't like to see how the villain is transformed. They just hope that the villain gets the punishment she deserves, that's cool! ]

(So, you guys are doing a thankless job, right?)

(Not only the Lord God dislikes you, but even the audience dislikes you?)

[Yes, Master! o(╥﹏╥)o]

(You are willing to continue this loss-making business? A department that cannot be self-sufficient and needs to continue to pay for itself, why haven’t you closed down yet?)

[Master! How can you curse my workplace to close down? If I lose my job, no one will serve you!]

Helia: I'm sorry, but I don't particularly need your help...

[That can’t be said of our department. If we only look at our department, we are indeed running out of money. But if we look at the overall work, our department is an indispensable part! ]

[Many times we work together with several departments. Our department often cooperates with the two main male and female departments of Long Aotian and Feng Aotian to carry out joint tasks.]

[Sometimes, there will be multiple hosts holding systems in a small world. Some will meet each other due to plot and mission requirements, but some may not know each other's existence until they leave the small world. This all depends on the mission issued by the Lord God.]

Xiao Si's words made Helia's thoughts clear up all of a sudden. An inspiration suddenly flashed through her mind, but it slipped away so quickly that she couldn't grasp anything. But vaguely, she felt that something was wrong.

(Xiao Si, your systems can sense each other's existence, right?)

[Yes, but not entirely. It depends on the authority and level. ]

[Some systems are high-level and have many permissions, so they can be unnoticed by other low-level systems. In addition, when there is no joint task between the systems, they all go their own way. In order to avoid unnecessary contact between hosts that affects the completion of the task, the system will turn on the shielding signal during the performance of its duties. ]

[We can determine the existence of other systems around us based on the shielding signal, but low-level systems cannot detect high-level systems.]

(What I mean is, in this small world, there may be more than just me as a host, there may be other travelers?)

【(o゜▽゜)o☆[BINGO!]】

(The system will not issue tasks that would cause hosts to harm each other, right?)

[Not necessarily. It depends on the mission. If there is a time traveler in this small world whose mission is to overthrow the empire and establish a new dynasty, then he may indeed kill you. Once the character dies, it means the mission has failed, and you will really die.]

So please be vigilant.

Helia's good mood early in the morning disappeared without a trace after Xiao Si said this. After finishing her breakfast with a cold face under everyone's hesitant gaze, she led her people to the residence of the Fitros family.

As soon as she entered the room, Helia kicked things everywhere in anger, either chairs blocking the way or other scattered bottles and jars. The people following her held their breath and dared not speak, for fear that they would be angered if they spoke out.

"So, Ansel, you don't know much about the Fitros family?" Helia looked at Ansel, who was dressed like a peacock. She felt uncomfortable with the sight of him spreading his feathers all the time. In addition, she was angry that morning, so her tone of voice was not very good.

"This family is very secretive. Whenever we confront them, they always choose to back down and give in. There is no conflict of interest between us. Many times, I need them as lords to cover up for us." Ansel explained, "For this kind of cooperation, there is no need to know everything. So why should I care about what they do? As long as they don't get in my way, it's fine."

"However, when their property was raided, I didn't mind kicking them back and making a fortune in the process."

"I have had people search this mansion before, about ten years ago. At that time, I had just taken the position of leader, and I wanted to take inventory of the assets under my name, and this mansion was among them."

"Wait, ten years ago?" Helia looked at him in shock, and took the liberty to look him up and down again. "How old are you?"

"Twenty-five, but I've taken good care of myself. I don't look much different from seventeen or eighteen, right?" Ansel generously showed off his youthful face, with a confident smile on his face. "Standing next to you, I'm a perfect match for you."

"I can't believe you're so much older than me..." Helia ignored the second half of his sentence and stared at his face as if she had seen something magical.

"Do you want to touch it?" Ansel gently took Helia's hand and brought it to his own face, touching it lightly, his eyes full of anticipation.

His handsome looks were really a plus, and Helia was a face lover. Besides, the man had his face in her hands, so she had no reason to refuse. She obediently touched his face and was shocked by his smooth and soft touch.

Holy shit??? How did you maintain it? It feels so good!

Moreover, I can't see any pores at all??? Did they do microdermabrasion only on his face? Also, his eyelashes are too long, as if they are spirits. Can I secretly pluck two of them?

Helia held Ansel's face and looked at it carefully with an unbelievable look on her face. Ansel just smiled and let her knead it, but this scene made the people behind them confused.

??? Wasn’t she still angry? ??? How did she calm down so quickly? ??? Why did she get started so quickly? ??? Did I miss something? ???

As she was touching, Helia suddenly remembered something. She seemed to have touched Euros' face in the same way before in the Duru Orphanage, in the small room where Jepas slept.

Why do I suddenly feel so guilty?

"It feels good, keep it up." Helia stopped the loss in time, patted Ansel's face twice with a joking look, and then withdrew her hand.

Ansel didn't feel humiliated at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's my pleasure."

After Helia and the others checked up and down, left and right, front and back, they temporarily determined that the lobby on the first floor was safe. In order to improve efficiency, they decided to split into two groups, one group going up and the other going down to check the basement.

"Ansel, you should go back. You don't know magic and it will be very dangerous if you encounter a magic circle." Helia brought Ansel with her at first just thinking that he might be more familiar with the situation here, but she didn't expect that this guy knew nothing and was of no use at all.
