"Then can I continue to disturb you for a while, Mr. Earl?" Ren Li smiled gently, as if he was greeting the boy next door, and asked the question naturally, if it was a real neighbor, no one would refuse Such an invitation.

But this is obviously not a good proposal for the Patriarch Phantomhive, who is busy with everything.On the contrary, such a rash move could have been considered an insult to the young earl.The sea-blue eyes were suddenly covered with ice, and the cold around him made it difficult to approach, lonely and noble.

The earl naturally has the earl's benefits, and it would be a shame for the earl to personally refuse at such a moment.The deacon in a black tuxedo bent slightly, showing off his slender body more and more. His soft and glossy hair covered half of his eyes, and his left eye was as bright as a blood moon, accompanied by the bewitching ghosts and threatening red intruding into the cells. The elegant and calm answer came in time, "Does this gentleman have an appointment?"

Ren shook the goosebumps on his body without leaving any traces. He shifted his eyes from observing the demon deacon as if nothing had happened, and looked at the only child in the store sincerely and innocently. His friendly smile never faded, "I'm sorry , I really don’t have time to make an appointment. It’s just some trivial matters, can Mr. Earl spare a little time? I think it’s time for afternoon tea.”

"I'm sorry, this...unknown gentleman," the voice of the deacon in the tuxedo was already cold, and the sarcasm in the words also followed, but judging from the appearance and behavior, every movement is still perfect, elegant and impeccable , "The Earl's itinerary is already full today."

It's not a direct refusal, but there is room to explain the reasons, so that people can't find the slightest place to find fault.Ren Li sighed secretly, but he didn't intend to give up at this point, he finally started contacting the characters, how could he not be fully prepared?

Since a lot of points have been invested in this mission, Ren Li strives for a quick solution and saves time as much as possible.He is tired of traveling, tired of constantly shaping all kinds of fetters in different worlds, and even more tired of constant betrayal and lies.Now pranks can no longer provide him with any spiritual comfort, and taking care of the scenery and being familiar with London can't give him any new interest.

Ren Li has seen too much filth among nobles, and he doesn't want to participate in it anymore.Perhaps people who have experienced a lot will involuntarily like clean and pure people.Ren Li is in such a state now, although he can't say he hates this kind of hypocrisy among nobles, but he still prefers simple people.London is definitely not a place rich in such people, not to mention that in order to complete the task as soon as possible this time, the identity he chose was destined not to meet such people.

Ren Li is just a businessman and wants to be a businessman.Dealing with the nobles was too tiring, he didn't want to force himself to put on a hypocritical smirk, he just wanted to sell his own things as he wanted and earn his own points.It's a pity that everything is just a mirror image now that I didn't get it in the store.The current Ren Li can only do what he doesn't like, and continue to work hard for the future.

As for those struggling, those floating in the dark, Ren Li lost the idea of ​​helping him for the first time.Overwhelmed by himself, he didn't have much energy to take care of other people's affairs.Since he has chosen this path, he must be responsible for his own actions. Ren Li is responsible for his own choices, so why should he interfere with the path of others being responsible for his own actions?

Even though he had made up his mind a long time ago, Ren Li still sighed a little when he saw this young Earl.Charles Phantomhive, 12 years old, as one of the people who knew the huge pressure of this simple number, Ren Li couldn't help feeling sympathetic and wanting to help others Thoughts poured out irresistibly.

The task is on.Ren Li kept chanting these four words in his heart, suppressing the distracting thoughts that flashed in an instant, and then made a very cheeky request in the eyes of those present.

"Is the queue already full? It's such a pity." Ren Li's smiling face showed no regrets, but instead showed the tolerance of pampering a child, "Then what is the Earl planning to do next? If not Take me with you if it's a very secret matter, my matter is easy to solve."

Ren Li ignored the store manager's open mouth, raised his hand and took out the watch from his chest pocket, opened it to look at the time, and did not wait for the deacon to refuse again, and then said with certainty, "If it is the Earl, I can definitely do it." Is that right?" The smile burst out in an instant, and the lingering fog in London seemed to suddenly shine into a ray of sunshine, warm and pure, and the elegant and delicate face was not inferior to that of the deacon guarding the boy, dazzling and unmovable. open your eyes.

The shopkeeper blinked before burying the shock brought by that smile in his heart.He doesn't think this strange customer can achieve his goal. The young master can become the president of a large-scale company that manufactures candy and toys at a young age. Mu Haiwei himself is a talented entrepreneur, with a cold personality and a reputation for being cruel and resolute.Maybe, this young man's rash actions have already annoyed this indifferent young master, and I don't know how he will be punished.

To the surprise of the owner of the toy store, the slender boy didn't immediately furiously order his subordinates to drive the rude person out, but frowned and thought about something.

Ren Li was not in a hurry at all, he felt a stare full of interest on him, which made him a little uncomfortable.Peeling off the candy and throwing it into his mouth as if no one else was around, Ren Li got a response from the Earl.

"Not today. Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, the castle of Phantomhive will welcome guests." The boy named Shire made a decision calmly, not like a child.

"I'm really sorry." This time, Ren Li refused the proposal without hesitation, and repeated the request just now, "It's not a very troublesome matter. It's rare that I have time. I really want to meet Phantom Highway. The strength of the family, I hope the Earl can give me this opportunity."

This offends the bottom line.Ren Li seemed completely unaware of how offensive and impolite these words were, and casually left the problem to the other party to struggle with.

This time the child struggled for a long time, the demon deacon bent over and whispered in the boy's ear, and after the deacon straightened up again, the boy finally made a new decision.

The young man stretched out his thin and fair hand, with a serious expression and meticulous, "I hope you can forgive us for our poor hospitality, this...?"

"Just call me Porter." Ren Li stretched out his hand and held it without any airs. The hand that had just peeled off the sugar wrapper was still inevitably covered with sweet and greasy sugar residue. The sticky touch immediately made the pampered The young master's face froze.

Ren Li withdrew his hand with a smile on his face, then filled his mouth with candy without realizing it, and did not forget to praise the producer in front of him, "The apple-flavored candy tastes great, sweet and sour, kind of... green and astringent feeling, just like the young Earl."

The frivolous words made the shopkeeper standing next to the three of them twitch his eyebrows, and almost collapsed on the ground.Won't the young master be angry?The shopkeeper carefully and secretly observed the expression of the young man—it was scary!This time the shopkeeper completely lost his strength and barely stood against the pillar.

Unexpectedly, although the anger had already appeared on his face, the young earl did not take any action to vent his anger, and he patiently followed the procedure to complete the inspection.

The owner of the store was frightened throughout the whole process, fearing that what he did wrong would offend the angry boss, but fortunately, the boss's age and business experience did not seem to be on the same level, and he did not make any irrational actions, leaving behind the usual The evaluation was sent out by the shopkeeper respectfully.

From the beginning to the end, Ren Li stood aside and watched quietly, and occasionally ate candy and smiled politely at the deacon who came over - this politeness was so important that even children passing by could see it.It was hard for them to continue their actions under such blatant surveillance, Ren Li praised Charles' endurance in his heart, and then challenged the lower limit of his endurance.

From the toy store in the downtown area of ​​London, to the candy store in the suburbs, and then to the factory production site in the outer suburbs, Ren Li really did exactly what he said, and accompanied the owner of Phantom Highway to complete an inspection.On the way, Ren Li unceremoniously followed into the owner's carriage and enjoyed the afternoon tea provided by the deacon. His rude behavior - limited to the standard of nobles - was outrageous.

As expected, Charles endured one by one, without asking or reprimanding, and followed Ren Li to make a fuss.The boss's attitude had a good guiding effect on the subordinates, and Deacon Sebastian didn't have any trouble with Ren Li. He gave a formulaic welcome and followed by a perfunctory surveillance.Fortunately, Ren Li knew how to measure and didn't disturb the other party's work. He just took advantage of the convenience and stuffed a lot of things that could be exchanged for points in the space. After the trip, he made a lot of money.

The night sky is like water, the twinkling stars are completely hidden here, and the thick fog that covers the sky and the sun hangs around this ancient city all year round, covering it with a veil of mystery.The sound of horseshoes clattering, the wheels turning rumbling, the quiet environment became more and more profound.

It is not close to the center of London. The gorgeous old castle has been deepened for a long time, and the cold wind and shadowy shadows of the trees create a lonely atmosphere.Ren Li looked at the majestic castle standing in front of him. Time has passed and the situation has changed. Two years ago, he could not see the fire that he had experienced. The current Phantom Heive has long since regained its former glory, even under the leadership of the wise Patriarch. The next is even better.

"Welcome to the castle of Phantomhive."

120 Noble Banquet III

The majestic and magnificent castle is more and more quiet against the backdrop of the night. The unique architectural style and the stained glass inlaid in it reflect a beautiful picture under the light of the rising moon. From the perspective of visual effects alone, the atmosphere of horror is [-]% ——With a perfect score of eighty.

Ren Li briskly jumped out of the carriage, leaned on the carriage board and knocked his unfamiliar boots, the hardness of the ground made him feel inexplicably shocked.Looking at the earl with a straight face from the beginning to the end and the elegant deacon who was smiling from the beginning to the end, Ren Li understood the term "kicking to the iron plate" thoroughly.

No matter how unhappy you are in your heart, there is no reason to back down when you get to the place.Ren Li took a deep breath, opened his arms freely and felt the gentleness of the night wind, and responded with a smile, "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Your Excellency Earl's castle is much more gorgeous than I imagined." Before the night completely fell, It was very cold, Ren Li immediately shivered, folded his arms and straightened his sleeves, "I can't see the shadow of the magnificent fire two years ago just from the outside."

Ciel's face turned pale immediately, and then the uncontrollable anger rushed to the surface first. Ren Li's provocation all day long was not as lethal as this sentence.He bit his lips tightly and tried his best to endure. He could raise one hand at any time to give the person on the opposite side who disrespected his parents a loud slap, and the other arm holding the cane trembled slightly. The rapid and low sound of the cane hitting the ground can be heard.

One hand stopped the continuation of the incident, and the clean white glove stopped in front of the thin body of the young man, stopping right next to the guests, pointing out a way for the unreasonable guests to participate in the meeting, polite but not abrupt, showing the tolerance of the nobility and generosity. "This way please, it's time for dinner soon, I hope you won't be annoyed by our poor hospitality." With an elegant voice, Sebastian handed the host a little goodbye The calm look in the eyes calmed down another provocation, which was not big or small.

Ren Xinzhi sighed again, and he was almost able to complete the touch, although the method was not his favorite type.The three of them kept a weird atmosphere and walked all the way to the front of the castle.The quaint door is wide open, like a black hole silently opening its mouth, swallowing everything that enters.Ren Li observed from himself, smiled and ate candy in silence, and the group arrived at the reception room safe and sound.

After Ren Li stepped into the reception room, Charles turned around without hesitation, and threw the "honorable guest" in the room.Fortunately, in addition to the master who played with his temper, the castle also had a well-educated deacon, who properly arranged the itinerary of the guests and had a perfect curtain call.

Ren Li heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was gone, and couldn't wait to start the destruction, oh no, it was a trip of theft.It is indeed the Phantomhive family with a profound heritage. Although it has experienced a devastating blow, the remaining part is still shocking.

Exquisite carvings, lifelike paintings, and exquisite ornaments, Ren Li is like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, touching every item with his own hands, and after getting the prompt that "can be exchanged for points" and "related to the task person", Ren Li has nothing to do with it. Without hesitation, he communicated with the main god and snatched into his own space.

Of course, Ren Li did not dare to go too far. After scanning the small objects that were not easy to attract attention, Ren Li regretfully gave up the big objects that were worth more points, and started a "night tour of the castle" without the owner's consent. .This is a big obstacle for Ren Li, mainly psychological. It is not easy for Ren Li, a self-confessed good-natured young man, to take the initiative to break the law. If it is not taught by a law enforcer, Ren Li would not be so blatant.

It's just not to the extent of being blatant, and Ren Li has become very proficient in the petty theft of the task characters for so many years.This is considered half a professional skill, Ren Li persisted.

It is not a good idea to explore the castle at night. The complex and delicate carvings show strange patterns under the flickering oil lamp, and the cold and hard buildings invade the senses under the addition of darkness. This must not be a good idea.Fortunately, Ren Li, who had experienced Hogwarts castle tour, had developed a high level of adaptability in this area, and started the sweeping tour as if no one else was there—in fact, there was no one there.

After getting the "candlestick used by the earl", "the pendant cleaned by the deacon", "the toy discarded by the earl", "the bent fork", and "origami with strange shapes", Ren Li bumped into someone at the corner of the next room. with a full heart.

"Ten, I'm very sorry." The girl who knocked to the ground stammered, fumbled for something on the ground in a panic, and didn't even have time to stand up, "Glasses, glasses..."

Ren Li handed over the glasses that fell beside him, "Is this it?"

"Ah, thank you, thank you so much." The girl quickly put on her glasses to cover her sharp eyes in surprise, and when she bowed and raised her head, she suddenly shouted in surprise, "You, you are the young master's guest!"

Ren Li smiled.

"I actually bumped into the young master's guest, and Mei Lin will definitely be hated by the young master. What if the young master doesn't want me? Oh, bad, bad, ah, clean up! Mei Lin, who has not finished her work and made mistakes, will definitely be hated by Sebastian." Stian will punish you!" The girl murmured to herself in a panic for a while, picked up the broom that fell on the ground and ran away in a hurry, then ran back with a sudden brake and bowed to Ren Li again, "Really I'm very sorry, distinguished guest, please wait in the reception room for dinner, you will be satisfied, please forgive Mei Lin's mistake, then please enjoy a pleasant evening." He disappeared in a hurry.

Ren Li stood there in a daze, and it took him a while to realize what happened.Flipping through the pockets, everything was still there, in exactly the same order as when they were put in.However, there are always differences.The master god who cheated clearly reminded, "The paper touched by Mei Lin", Ren Li raised the corners of his lips.Can't hold back anymore?The temptation had just begun, and there was still some time before dinner, so he had time to play with these people slowly.

The defeat of the first place did not affect the fighting spirit of the castle guards. The thieves who were stealing things from the castle must be sanctioned by the guards.But before that, they need enough evidence.

Facing the doubts from her fellow campmates, Meilin repeated her results again, "Nothing really. I searched almost everything on him, and I didn't see any missing items in the castle."

"If you can't even see Mei Lin's eyes, it's really weird. Obviously Sebastian said that this guest is a thief, and we did lose a little thing--speaking of which, what do I say?" I used to have a gray wristband, why don't I remember?" A sunny boy wearing a straw hat said in confusion.

"If you rely on your memory, you won't even know that everything has been stolen." The girl, Mei Lin said sharply, she was still immersed in the frustration of the battle.

"Maybe he didn't put it on me." The uncle with a cigarette in his mouth calmly returned to the topic, "Think about it, the things Sebastian said added up, there must be... so many things. With his small body, how much can he carry?" He said in a disdainful tone, and then lowered his voice, "I wonder if Sebastian deliberately punished us to make us less..."

The butler took a sip of his tea and calmly concluded, "Sebastian's ability is obvious to all. Since he said that the guest has a problem, he should be right. Let's try again. Whose turn is it this time?"

So Ren Li's castle tour became lively.Either when he was "appreciating" the oil painting, he was "almost" hit by a servant wearing a straw hat who was "excessively" moving the cabinet, or he "nearly" avoided the flames sprayed out by the chef "cooking" when he "passed by" the kitchen.Ren Li responded calmly, and his proficiency in stealing skills rose steadily.

The three members of the guard team took turns to go into battle, and because they had nothing to gain, a group drama was staged after the discussion.

The three people who had expressed apologies to Ren Li to varying degrees appeared in the corridor one after another, and Ren Li lifted his spirits.Sure enough, the tray in Mei Lin's arms, who had fallen on the ground, slammed over, and Ren Li could only back away from the dishes all over the sky, but happened to hit the boy in the straw hat who was holding the table crookedly behind him, and the table hit the table unsurprisingly. The place where Ren Li retreats.

Ren Li's skills are all kinds of scum, not to mention that in order to save points for this mission, he used an ordinary body without any special abilities.With a plate in front and a table in the back, Ren Li had no choice but to fall sideways on the carpet. Fortunately, the convenient casual clothes have a smooth movement bonus.

The smoking chef, who seemed extremely surprised, came to make a movement to stabilize the table, and he moved his legs and feet, and his foothold, which seemed to be immortal, happened to be positioned on Ren Li's arm.

The situation was changing rapidly, at the critical moment, Ren Li said in surprise, "Lord Earl?"

The falling feet paused, and Ren Li hurriedly moved his arms away. The next second, his shoes stuck to his sleeves and stepped on the carpet, and the thick and soft carpet was stepped out of a hole.Ren Li squinted, sweating profusely.

Everyone was talking about packing up their things, and Ren Li got up with a guilty conscience and patted the non-existent dust—the environment of Phantomhive's house was really not built.The apology that should be apologized, the hypocrisy that should be hypocritical, the trio who failed in another battle are full of ambitions and plan the next offensive and defensive battle that will definitely be successful, and the thief who almost paid the price of his arm pulls out the time list.

"What are you doing?"

The immature but majestic scolding sound came as expected, and with the ever-lasting ice on Charles' face, he walked unhurriedly, making the trio bow their heads every time they took a step.This kind of majesty was brought to the extreme when he walked in front of everyone, the air was solidified like substance, and it became difficult to breathe.Ren Li smiled awkwardly, he just rolled on the ground once, and escaped by borrowing the other party's name, the boss who came faster than expected caught him off guard.

"You're laughing at the lax discipline of the servants." Charles apologized sternly in the etiquette of aristocrats, and the frightened trio hurriedly wanted to refute, but Nuonuo was speechless.

Ren Li smiled cheekily, "It's a very interesting show."

Turning a deaf ear to the insinuation in the language, Charles solemnly invited, "Dinner is about to start, please come with me." The young man turned around neatly, and the three of them, whose eyes were pressed to defend, fell silent instantly, and said coldly, " Sebastian, I leave the aftermath to you, don't let me down."

The tuxedo deacon who came out of nowhere and bowed slightly, "yes, my10rd."

Ren Li followed Shire's footsteps to the restaurant. When he turned the corner, he couldn't help but glance at the place where the "accident" took place, and met a pair of smiling scarlet eyes.The elegant and perfect smirk was blocked by the wall, Ren Li pressed his beating heart, and played the role of "incompetent guest" wholeheartedly.
