Chapter 199 VIP

In their lifetime, except for occasionally crawling out of the ground to look for food, most of the time they live in the depths of the dark strata.

The degenerated eyeballs are very sensitive to light, and the moment they are exposed to strong light, they immediately shrink back in pain.

Joan took the opportunity to remotely control the "Electric Light Blade" and chased after it, aimed at the burrower and stabbed the worm in the back of the neck!

Miss Martha also ran over with a shotgun in her arms, and fired twice before the burrower burrowed back into the burrow.

boom! boom!

The two large lead bullets seemed to have eyes, penetrated into the carapace on the back of the neck pierced by the "electric light blade", and burst in the tender flesh and blood.

The back of the digger's neck was stabbed first and then shot twice, leaving only a trace of fascia connected to the body, its head hanging limply, lying on the entrance of the cave, wriggling in despair.

Joan remote-controlled the "Electric Blade" to make up the last knife, completely beheading the giant worm's head, and the headless corpse twitched for a while before completely stiffening.

Joan wiped off his sweat, remembering that there was another burrower scared away by Tata, hiding in the depths of the burrow and not daring to come out.

Of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to go into a hole in the ground to hunt down the diggers, that would be no different from committing suicide.

Opened the storage bag, took out a bundle of smoked mosquito grass, and was about to ignite this herb that can emit a strong pungent smell, to smoke out the diggers hidden in the depths of the cave, but the weather was not good, a gust of wind blew past In a blink of an eye, the sky over the garden was overcast, and it started to rain.

"Mr. Vader, let's take a rest first, and after lunch, we will deal with the remaining diggers after the weather clears up." Miss Martha said softly.

Joan, of course, had to follow the master's arrangement and follow her back to the living room.

Miss Martha called a young manservant who was about the same age as Joan, and told him to help Joan take off the clothes soaked in sweat and blood, take a hot bath before going to the restaurant for the banquet.

Joan soaked in the warm oak bathtub for half an hour, washed off his exhaustion, got up and wiped clean, and asked the servant for his clothes.

The little manservant told him apologetically that the clothes had been washed but not dried.

"It's okay, I'll dry it myself."

Joan picked up a wet towel and used a "magic trick" to make the towel lose its moisture and become fluffy and dry.

"Okay, Mr. Master." The little servant exited the bathroom with full of awe, and quickly brought Joan freshly washed clothes.

Joan cast a spell to dry his clothes and trousers. After getting dressed, he followed the little manservant to the restaurant on the second floor.

The old butler Philip, wearing neat white gloves, was setting the table meticulously. Seeing Joan's student attire, he couldn't help frowning.

Miss Martha sat at the dining table making tea with her own hands. She had already taken off her chain mail and changed back into elegant and gorgeous formal clothes. Looking up at Joan, she asked him with a smile: "The dress the servant prepared for you doesn't fit?"

Joan saw the unusually solemn scene in the restaurant, especially the exquisite and beautiful sterling silver tableware on the table. Only then did he realize that this lunch was not a casual meal as he thought, but a formal banquet. No wonder the valet suggested that he put on The suit consisted of a tuxedo, shirt, bow tie and brand new shoes.

"Sorry, I'm still used to wearing my own clothes." Joan answered bravely.

The old butler frowned, showing displeasure.

Miss Martha smiled tolerantly: "That's pretty good."

At first, Joann thought that the Custis family's luncheon was just for her, and felt both flattered and guilty for not being well-dressed.

However, he soon discovered that there were three sets of cutlery on the table, and it seemed that he might be being self-indulgent.

"Miss Martha, do you have any other guests?" Joan couldn't help asking curiously.

"A gentleman will come to visit at noon. His home is in Mount Vernon, not far from here. However, he has rarely been home since he joined the army. Recently, he finally got a chance to take a vacation. He came here for lunch. We have already I haven't seen him for almost a year, I hope he is doing well..."

Miss Martha glanced at the grandfather clock placed in the corner of the dining room, and smiled at Joan.

"This man is as strict as a clock. Let's wait a moment. He should be here soon."

Joan noticed that when she mentioned the upcoming distinguished guest, her tone was very intimate. It seemed that if the other party was not her lover, she was a very familiar friend.

After the two met, there must be a lot of intimate things to say, but I am a pure outsider, and I really shouldn't be mixed in this kind of occasion.

However, already sitting in the restaurant, Joan couldn't find a reason to leave, so he could only bite the bullet and chat with Miss Martha.

While waiting for the guests, Miss Martha casually asked about the situation at Joan's house. When he learned that he was from Delin Town, his eyes immediately overflowed with surprise.

"So you're from Delin Town, that's great. I'm looking for someone to inquire about Delin Town!"

"I was born and raised in Delin Town, so I have a fairly good understanding of the local situation. What kind of news do you want to know?"

"I heard that Delin town encountered a big crisis half a month ago. The lizard tribe from the southern swamp and the goblin tribe in the jungle besieged your hometown. Is this true?" Miss Martha asked nervously. .

"It's absolutely true."

Joan nodded seriously.

"If it weren't for Major George Vasa who was stationed in the Delin Valley in time to lead the Knights to support Delin Town and help the Delin Town militia repel the Lizardman and Goblin coalition forces, my hometown would have been in ruins long ago, and I don't know how many people would have died tragically Under the butcher's knife of the bandits."

"Since you know Major Vassar, you must also know Captain Daniel, his good friend. How is he doing now?" Miss Martha said anxiously.

Hearing the name Daniel, Joan couldn't help but change his face.

After pondering for a long time, he tentatively asked: "Miss Martha, are you referring to Captain Daniel Fairfax, a young paladin?"

"Of course! My lord Timothy, besides him, there is no other Captain Daniel!"

Miss Martha stood up excitedly.

"To tell you the truth, Daniel is my fiancé, and our relationship has always been very good, but for some reason, Daniel has suddenly become very cold to me... To be exact, Daniel has not given any love to me for two whole weeks. I wrote back, and in his last letter to me, he said that he was about to go to Delin Town to perform a combat mission, and since then there has been no news, as if he disappeared from this world!"

Miss Martha was pacing back and forth in the dining room excitedly, and suddenly turned to look at Joan, her eyes were full of anxiety.

"Mr. Vader, you are a witness to the crisis in Delin Town. No one knows what happened on the battlefield better than you. I beg you to tell me how Daniel Fairfax is doing? The war in Delin Town It's already over, but why he still refuses to reply to me?"
