The male servant who walked in interrupted their conversation:

"Sir, Mr. Jude asked you to go upstairs and help him get some things. He doesn't want us to touch those precious antiques, so I take the liberty of asking you to get them for him."

He said to Shade very respectfully.

"I?"

Shade pointed at himself doubtfully, then turned to look at Lesia. When she saw the latter shaking her head slightly, she refused directly:

"Sorry, I can't leave this lady."

He said it very straightforwardly:

"Before going out this time, the editor-in-chief asked me to stay with Miss Princes. Can we go upstairs together?"

"Why don't I go too?"

The young scholar Lim Scott suggested, probably because he wanted to show off in front of the young girl with outstanding temperament. So Professor Katja also nodded:

"Then let's go upstairs together. The same goes for us going upstairs to see Mr. Jude's collection."

"this......"

The manservant lowered his head and hid his face in the shadows:

"Sorry, I want to ask sir for permission. Strangers are not allowed to approach the area upstairs."

The servant quickly left the room, and the four guests in the room frowned. There was a strong wind outside and heavy rain pouring down, and the light of the only gas lamp in the room seemed to be much weaker because of this.

Mr. Jude, the ring warlock, was in front of him just now, so Shade did not use thaumaturgy in this room. Now that the owner here left, he blinked, and then saw that the broken-arm statue was actually full of red halo

Then I listened carefully, and the echoes of the past made the voice from the other side of time appear in my ears:

"...So, don't abduct ordinary people anymore recently. The Sea Return Ceremony has begun, and we have transformed enough of the same kind over the years to be able to deal with various situations. In addition to the environment caused by the news I released,

Except for warlocks, no more..."

It seems that this visit did not go very smoothly.
