But Colin did not rush to open the door, but turned to look at Renee who was not far away.
Renee nodded and walked towards the door understandingly.
Colin, on the other hand, walked slowly to the pavilion in the garden of the courtyard.
With a creak, Renee opened the door.
A middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman appeared behind the door.
He has an ordinary face, but is well-dressed, and even the two black beards on his lips are neatly groomed.
The aura of wealth is palpable, and he seems to be from a good family.
"Good morning, madam." The man took off his black hat and greeted Renee.
As for Colin's figure, he cannot see it from his angle.
"Good morning, Mr. Hawthorne." Renee greeted politely.
This is the owner of the villa here and also their landlord, a big real estate developer.
The man smiled, put back his hat and said: "I passed by here by chance this morning, and I thought that after you checked in, I never came to visit you.
So I came over to take a look on the spur of the moment, I hope I won’t disturb you.”
As he said that, Hawthorn naturally stepped forward, wanting to pass Renee and walk into the yard.
But the next moment, Renee took a step calmly, stopped Hawthorne, and said apologetically:
"The master is feeling a little unwell due to the long journey... I'm afraid it won't be convenient for him to receive visits these days."
Hawthorne made a movement, and his eyes shrank undetectably.
The seemingly ordinary maid in front of him was so fast that he didn't even react!
You know he is a senior knight!
"Are you feeling unwell..."
After a moment, Hawthorn raised his head in "surprise" and said slowly in a tone that could not find any fault.
"I feel extremely sorry for this and hope your master can recover soon."
He looked at Renee, smiled again, and said goodbye:
"Forgive me for your abrupt visit today. When I have time in the future, I will pay you a visit in person."
Renee watched Hawthorn go away and closed the door.
On the other side, Hawthorne's expression suddenly became complicated as he walked out of the door.
There was surprise and excitement in his blue eyes.
"Lord Hawthorne."
Walking to the river, a tall figure appeared next to Hawthorn at some point.
"The tenants of Villa No. 5 will be treated with special emphasis," Hawthorn said softly while walking slowly.
"Yes!" The tall figure responded in a deep voice.
"But remember, don't try to disturb, let alone pry."
Hawthorn paused for a moment, then said solemnly.
He looked at the Lepo River on his right, feeling a little confused.
Somewhere in the dark, Hawthorn had a strong premonition——
I decisively gave up most of my interests two years ago, stopped expanding my power, and was waiting for the opportunity——
This time, I'm afraid it's really coming.
"Wizard..." He murmured and clenched his fists slightly.
As a well-known real estate developer in Nanao, he is most proud of his self-made experience.
From an ordinary civilian family to his current status step by step, he made unimaginable efforts. It was a glorious period.
However, his biggest regret...is also the same.
In other words - one's own origin.
The essence of this world is that power comes first.
The power he possesses, in the face of real violence, is just a fragile sand tower piled up by children on the beach. When the wave comes, it will dissipate without a trace like foam...
Hawthorn was silent for a moment, then turned and left.
The water of the Lepo River behind him was rippling, and green fish jumped out of the water, splashing in all directions.
Then it slowly falls down under the influence of gravity.
thump--
Somewhere in the sea.
In mid-air, the blue fish monster let out a miserable howl, clutching its chest that was pierced by thorn vines, and fell into the sea water, losing its voice.
The pale red blood spread slowly in the blue water, attracting several bloodthirsty sharks, which silently swam beside the boat.
The beautiful girl on the boat put away the vines, her graceful figure gradually shrank, and after a moment she transformed into an exquisite girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
Hua Hua Hua——
The movement of the sharks tearing at the fish monster stirred up the seawater and hit the ship wall, breaking into pieces of water.
Lillian withdrew her gaze, not paying attention to these sharks, and passed through the corpses of sailors who were brutally killed by fish monsters scattered on the deck, and came to the bow of the ship.
'I don't know how long it has been since I entered that space...'
She looked at the vast sea in front of her, worry rising in her heart.
Stretching out her arms, golden light emerged from Lilian's palms.
A strange pressure suddenly spread.
Wherever the pressure is shrouded, the water seems to become silent.
Hua Hua Hua——!
Those sharp sharks swung their powerful tails quickly, dived into the water quickly, and left in the distance.
"Mom..." Lilian murmured in a low voice.
In the Elf Kingdom, after crossing the treasure house arch, what she came to was not a treasure house.
In other words, it is not an ordinary treasure house.
But - the secret vault!
It is a secret vault unique to the high elves.
The full name of the Secret Vault is - The Secret Vault of Blood and Treasures.
This is a place only elves with the blood of high elves and those who have made outstanding contributions can go.
As the name suggests, the high elves who go to the secret vault can not only obtain an improvement in their bloodline, but those who make outstanding contributions can also obtain an extremely precious treasure.
Lillian retracted her palm.
The golden light suddenly extinguished, and the surrounding sounds became vivid again.
The sea breeze blew by, lifting her golden hair...
It also exposed her pink ears that were a little different from before.
Those are the pointed ears unique to high elves.
"Bobby!"
The elf Poppy stood on her shoulder, curiously looking at the pointed ears that were very similar to her own.
Lillian moved her hair a little uncomfortably, covering her pointed ears perfectly.
Turning around, she walked towards the captain's cabin.
After coming out of the secret vault, she did not return to the Elf Kingdom or that hall.
Instead, he came directly to this sea area.
This fishing boat was drifting not far in front of us.
So she flew over almost subconsciously.
It's a pity...the ship is already in a purgatory-like scene.
The sailors encountered monsters and were slaughtered, while the fish-shaped monsters were having a party and enjoying the spoils on the deck...
As she walked, Lilian cleaned up the blood stains and corpses... If there were no accidents, this fishing boat would be with her for a while.
Arriving at the captain's cabin, Lilian glanced around and quickly walked to the chart on the captain's desk.
"Cape Tege...Fewadi Fishing Port..."
After a moment, Lillian breathed a sigh of relief.
This place is not far from the Siya continent.
If everything goes well, it won't take long before she can successfully return to the Siya continent... and return to the city of Neuinstadt.
'I don't know how my grandfather is doing...'
Lilian looked at the sparkling sea outside the porthole with a worried look on her face.
