Chapter 61 The conversation between the guests

"Although I really want to help her, but..."

Karl said regretfully with an apology on his face.

"All right."

Olivia looked at the head maid who was still helpless, then sighed and pointed outside.

"If we want to talk next, it's better to change places. I don't really like talking to people in this kind of environment."

Seeing her actions, Karl immediately said: "Celiel, open the door."

That's fine.

After revealing her extraordinary power, Olivia changed her previous tough attitude. This not only proved that she knew the mysterious side, but also meant that the initiative in the subsequent conversation would be transferred to Karl.

After hearing Karl's instructions, Cyril immediately walked over.

"Please give way."

Looking at Olivia blocking the dungeon door, she said in an indifferent tone.

Olivia obediently moved two steps aside, and then suggested: "You don't need to destroy the cell door. I can call the guards..."

While she was speaking, Cyril's right hand began to transform, and then she pressed it on the cell door. At the same time, her appearance also changed back to her girlish form.

Then there was a click, and the door lock opened, interrupting what Olivia wanted to say.

"In that case, let's go."

Looking at the opened cell door, Olivia blinked.

Then he decisively opened the cell door and walked out first.

"Come with me."

Seeing Olivia's actions, Karl and Ceryl looked at each other and walked out.

"Don't worry about the maid anymore?"

After taking only two steps, Karl remembered the head maid Laurel who was still in the dungeon. He wouldn't just leave her there like this, would he?

"You two, go take care of Laurel."

After hearing Karl's words, Olivia, who happened to walk to the exit, pointed at the guard at the exit without any intention of stopping.

"I released the last two people, so you don't have to worry about them."

Sure enough, the two guards ignored Karl and the others and went straight to the back to look after the head maid.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Olivia, they came to a certain room on the third floor of the castle.

It looks like this is a reception room specially used to receive people.

Three finely crafted sofas are placed in the house in a Z-shaped pattern. At first glance, they look like exquisite furniture made in Italy.

In the middle of the sofa is a small wooden coffee table, with some seasonal fresh fruits placed on it.

Under Karl's gaze, Olivia walked over and sat elegantly on the sofa, then raised her right hand habitually, preparing to open her folding fan.

Not good!

Only then did she realize that the fan had been thrown into the dungeon and she had forgotten to take it with her.

There was no fan in her hand, so Olivia raised her right hand upwards and lightly flipped her hair.

After completely sitting down, she looked at Karl and the others with her green eyes, and then pointed at the sofas around her.

"Please take a seat."

Pulling Ceryl, Karl sat down.

This level of comfort is really unmatched by his own home. Feeling the softness under his buttocks, Karl said, "If you have any questions, please tell me and I will answer your questions properly."

Olivia looked at Karl carefully from top to bottom, and then suddenly chuckled as if thinking of something.

"I do have questions, but I wonder if you are willing to answer them."

Seeing Olivia looking at him, Karl crossed his hands in front of him, showing a confident look.

"Please tell me. Since I have taken the initiative to expose my identity to you, I naturally won't hide anything anymore."

"So……"

Olivia retracted her gaze from sizing him up, looked at the still-dark sky outside the window, and then turned her gaze to Karl again.

"Let's talk about the theater's compensation first."

After finishing speaking, a bright smile appeared on this woman's face, feeling that she had already convinced Karl.

It is indeed the topic I hate the most.

Carl, a poor man, really couldn't afford a penny. He couldn't be allowed to use a little more than one pound of property to pay off his debts, right?

I had to change the topic.

Thinking this, Karl spoke.

"I was also a victim in the theater incident. Your close friend Miss Marianne treated me as a ritual sacrifice."

Hearing this, Olivia raised her eyes, and her original smile turned into an expression that was almost looking down.

Faced with Olivia's appearance, Karl did not show any weakness at all and hit her back hard with serious eyes.

"And there are probably some things you don't know about Marianne, right?"

Olivia's attention was indeed attracted by this sentence. When she heard the news about Marianne, her eyes were immediately filled with curiosity, but she still maintained her image and did not look too anxious.

"I don't know which one you are talking about, but the two of us are quite close."

"If we have such a good relationship, you should know about her magic book, right?"

Olivia was really tempted when she heard Karl mention the magic book.

Her emerald eyes stared at Karl closely, and she couldn't wait to ask: "I know that thing, Marianne usually hides it and doesn't let anyone touch it at all."

"Do you know anything?"

Just be willing to take the bait, and don't ask me for compensation again.

Karl breathed a sigh of relief before continuing the conversation.

"Marian's extraordinary power was obtained using the method recorded in the magic book."

After hearing Karl's explanation, Olivia looked as if this was indeed the case, and it seemed that she had expected it.

She stretched out her hand and knocked on the coffee table, and then said slowly.

"My people didn't find the magic book in the charred ruins. Could it be that you took it away?"

Olivia stared into Karl's eyes, trying to see something from his eyes.

For this item that records the knowledge that can make people become extraordinary, she is bound to get it!

But unfortunately, she didn't find what she expected to see in Karl's eyes.

"That magic book has been destroyed by my own hands."

"Why bring it up after it was destroyed?"

The shrewd Olivia immediately realized that there was no way that Karl would mention this thing without any reason.

"Because it's dangerous, this thing is actually a bait."

"Bait?"

Looking at Olivia, who was gradually being guided by him and becoming curious, Karl knew that it was done.

Then he explained to her the true function of the grimoire, and also described the existence of the Eidolon Lord and the consequences of the success of this ritual.

Sure enough, after learning about the dangers of Lord Eidolon, Olivia frowned and her eyes were filled with lingering doubts.

While she was deep in thought, Ceryl, who had not disturbed the two of them, spoke.

"Lord Eidolon doesn't need living people as servants. It doesn't matter whether you have money or not."

Then she paused and continued.

"After completing the ritual, he will have no human appeal."

No wonder the judges are so concerned about this matter.

Olivia was curious about the serious attitude of the judges before. Generally speaking, they did not like to have contact with businessmen like them at all.

It was because of the judge's attitude that she immediately rushed back to London from Windermere.

After learning about Lord Eidolon from Karl, she truly understood the seriousness of the situation!
