Georgenie quickly packed up everything, burned the envelope in her hand, took the badge and the bag of things, and rushed towards Deton Manor.

Chapter 90: The collapsed body and the acceptance blood formation.

"You've been driving all day and are so tired you go to sleep. You've earned four shillings more today than yesterday. You buy some wine and drink it at home, then sleep until tomorrow and forget everything that happened today..."

"Yes...I've been driving for a whole day..."

On Jewel Avenue, across from a jewelry store, Charles got off the carriage, and the coachman quickly turned the carriage around and headed home.

Before getting off the bus, Ciel's saved transformation was just released. At this moment, she was standing in the morning sun, looking through the busy street at the jewelry store opposite.

In the jewelry store called "Crystal", a woman wearing a gorgeous jewelry mask and a uniform dress is carefully cleaning every speck of dust in the store with a rag in her hand, working attentively and seriously.

A woman dressed somewhat simply walked into the store. The woman wearing a jewelry mask came to greet her. She didn't seem to mind her attire and began to introduce the jewelry in the store.

Ciel just stood there, smiling at the figure in the jewelry store opposite, until her body swayed slightly unconsciously, then she lowered the brim of her round-brimmed straw hat, walked to the right side of the street, and blended into the crowd.

Almost twenty minutes later, Charles appeared at the door of Russell Manor.

She skillfully pushed open the iron gate and closed it, then walked into the interior of the manor.

A reflection from the study window made Charles look up in the direction of the study on the second floor, and he saw a figure in armor staring at him by the window.

Charles waved gently at the armor, then walked directly into the manor house.

She could have chosen to return to her house in Clocktower Lane to rest, but she was too weak at the moment.

Previously in the simulation, Charles had experienced sleeping for the entire simulation without waking up. This time, Charles decided to come to Avina and Adele's side, so that if he overslept because he was too weak, someone would wake him up.

He couldn't drag his sister into this, nor could he involve Amy, an ordinary noble. Now, even for such a small matter, Charles could only ask Avina and Adele for help.

It seemed that Nia had discovered Charles's return in advance and reported it. Avina and Adele ran out of the study and saw Charles going upstairs on the steps of the main hall.

"Ciel!"

When Adele saw Charles, she quickly walked over to him and said with a sad face, "I woke up and you were gone. If you don't come back, I'm going to go out with Avina to look for you..."

Adele originally planned to hold Charles' hand, but when she got closer and smelled the strong smell of blood on Charles' body, she couldn't hide her emotions and just stayed where she was. After a long while, she quietly moved back a little.

Ciel's situation seems a little strange...

Avina also walked to Charles' side at this time. After smelling the blood, her expression did not change. She just said: "There is hot water in the bathroom of my room. Do you want to go take a shower?"

"Thanks."

Ciel nodded.

Avina didn't ask any more questions, but just said: "Is everything going well?"

"It went pretty smoothly."

After answering, Ciel swayed up the stairs until he disappeared from the sight of the three people.

"Avina..."

When she could no longer hear Charles' footsteps, Adele asked cautiously, "What...was Charles...doing outside?"

Adele is a "doctor". In order to reproduce the ritual, she also sees patients and performs surgery like a normal doctor. She is very sensitive to the smell of blood.

This strong smell of blood obviously could not be explained by the blood splattered on the bodies of one or two people.

It was like rolling in a sea of ​​blood.

Coupled with Charles's calm expression as if nothing had happened, Adele, who originally had a very positive impression of Charles, also felt a little scared.

"I do not know either."

Avina shook her head.

Although I don't know what happened to Ciel just now, the fatigue in her eyes cannot be concealed at all.

It must have been a big battle...

But where will the fighting take place?

It can't be that he went to Deton Manor and killed people.

This is impossible. There is a second-level transcendent guarding Deton Manor.

This situation made Avina feel a little worried.

Obviously, all three of them were in danger of being discovered by the cultists, but Charles took it all on his own, which made Avina feel a little frustrated.

I felt like I had become a burden. If I didn't work harder, I might not even be able to catch up with Charles.

At this time, Charles was in Avina's bathroom, soaking in the bathtub, and her canvas bag was hanging at the door.

The pure copper bathtub was rocking gently on the gold-plated cast iron frame. It was Charles' first time using a bathtub with a rocking function, so he felt a little uncomfortable.

She was almost buried in the bathtub. After a while, she slowly raised her head and emerged from the water.

Charles looked down and saw that the originally clean water in the bathtub had been stained slightly pink with himself as the center.

This tank of water cannot be used.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

There was a knock at the bathroom door, and after a while, Avina's voice came from behind the door.

"Charles, can I come in?"

"Please come in."

The bathroom door was opened, and Avina walked up to Charles with a dress in her left hand and a bottle of light green potion in her right hand and handed it to her.

"Adele gave it to you. She said it can wash away blood stains without leaving any smell."

After saying that, Avina put the clothes aside, turned around and left, and helped Charles close the door.

Charles opened the cork, put the bottle mouth to his nose and sniffed. A faint mint fragrance wafted from the light green liquid in the bottle.

As expected, it still tastes like mint...

After washing my body with the potion given by Adele, there was indeed no smell on my body, only a faint mint scent remained.

If this continues, Adele will have to get the Fengyoujing out sooner or later... maybe she has already done it.

After changing into the slightly larger black and white dress that Avina gave her, Charles picked up his bag and walked out of the bathroom, where he saw Avina and Adele sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"I need to go get some rest."

Charles looked at Avina and said, "Study or here?"

"This is it."

Avina fetched a clean towel and handed it to Charles, "Dry your hair first."

Charles put down his canvas bag, took the towel and began to wipe his hair.

After washing off the bloody smell on his body and changing into clean clothes, Charles felt a little better, but it also made the fatigue in his mind even more intense.

After drying his hair a little, Charles walked to the bed in a daze, took off his shoes and socks, rested his head on his pillow, and pulled the quilt over himself.

"Avina..."

Charles' voice came from the bed. Avina looked in Charles' direction and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Can you do me a favor?"

Charles' eyes were closed, and she didn't even notice that when she asked Avina for help, it was no longer an exchange of interests.

"can."

Avina nodded without even asking what it was.

"When the invitation arrives, wake me up..."

"What invitation?"

"Deton... Manor..."

Avina's pupils shrank slightly.

Deton Manor? An invitation?

Weren't the cultists at Deton Manor trying to investigate Adele? Had the news of Adele's presence leaked out?

As the highest-level Black Gold member of Deton Manor, Avina often receives invitations from Deton Manor, usually to newly started gambling games or newly arrived goods.

But the invitation letter sent at this time made Avina think more.

And…how did Ciel know that an invitation was coming?

Before Avina could ask, she found that Charles had fallen into a deep sleep.

Although curiosity was ripping through Avina's heart, she couldn't bear to wake up Charles, who looked exhausted, so she swallowed back the questions she wanted to ask.

Adele was also full of doubts at this time, but when she saw that Avina did not continue asking, she did not dare to ask. She had to pick up the spiritual notes of "Physician" and "Plague Doctor" from Avina's bookshelf and began to read them.

Time passed by minute by minute...

……

"Miss."

"Miss, wake up."

"Miss Avina."

In a daze, Avina felt the touch of cold armor on her face. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Nia half-kneeling beside her.

Avina lifted the blanket covering her body and sat up from the sofa. Through the dim candlelight, she saw Adele lying on another sofa.

Adele's blanket had been kicked onto the carpet, and she was now curled up on the sofa, shivering while sleeping.

Charles's condition looked particularly bad before. In order not to wake him up, they did not choose to go to bed, but left Charles alone.

"What's the matter, Nia..."

Avina spoke softly.

"Someone sent a letter."

Nia handed Avina a black letter with the chip emblem of Deton Manor embossed on it in gold wax.

In an instant, Avina's mind became clear. She sat down on the sofa, took a deep breath, and stretched her right hand to her neck.

She placed the "Sacred Relic of the Dead" on her palm, and gently ran her index finger across the cage surrounding the relic. Blood dripped into the relic, igniting a purple spiritual flame.

Avina's body instantly collapsed, leaning against the sofa behind her. After a few seconds, she slowly supported herself and sat up. She looked at the envelope in her hand.

She took the letter opener handed to her by Nia, cut the sealing wax on it, and unfolded the letter inside.

This... is just an ordinary invitation letter.

In addition to several new games rotating into Deton Manor, there is also an event…

自22号正午12点起,一直到24号晚上10点,德顿庄园兑换筹码的手续费减少到5%,回收物品的抽成也降到了10%。

In other words, if you exchange chips now, 100 Soviet pounds can be exchanged for 95 chips, and something that was originally worth 100 and recycled for 80 will now be recycled for 90 pounds.

The intensity of this activity... is a bit strong, but there are such activities for a few days every quarter, so it is normal.

In the past, when such activities occurred, Avina would choose to go shopping and see if there was anything she wanted to buy. After all, at this time, she could always recycle some interesting things at Deton Manor.

But why is the event launched during this time period?

Isn’t the 23rd the day when the bishop of the Holy Advent sect arrives?

And Charles... seemed to have known all this in advance. Before the event started, Charles said that an invitation letter would be sent.

It was almost like watching someone else write the invitation.

Avina looked in Charles' direction with a complicated look in her eyes.

She reached into her pocket and took out a delicate little wallet. She opened the golden clasp and inside was a golden pocket watch.

Avina took out her pocket watch and looked at the time, frowning slightly.

This...it's already twelve o'clock noon on the 22nd.

How did Ciel sleep for so long?

"Niya, please turn on the light for me."
