Chapter 275 Feeding Experience
"Oh, I thought I was seeing things. It seems I'm not that old yet."
A voice came from behind the two of them. Lilith turned around and found that it was also an old acquaintance.
"You are... Mr. Grantham?" Lilith looked at the people walking slowly towards her. The tall, thin and handsome man walking in front was the sheriff who had asked her to sign the letter of responsibility before. At the same time, she immediately understood why the sheriff appeared here.
"Have you learned any tips on breeding, Miss Lilith?" Grantham walked closer, looked up at the dark shadow on the roof, his eyes full of amazement.
"Well... my experience is that they may have the habits of pigeons, and are used to living in groups. If you raise one, many will fly over..."
Lilith herself was confused and started talking nonsense.
"How interesting!" He took out the notebook and made it float in the air, then picked up the pen and started writing things down, actually taking Lilith's words seriously.
"The security team's reaction is so reassuringly quick..." Today was the first time she saw this group of gargoyles. As soon as they met, the security team rushed over.
"We always have night air patrols, and they were spotted immediately!"
Behind Grantham, there was a very young lady standing with one hand on her waist. She was wearing trousers that were tightly tied around the legs. She had a slender figure, like a nimble sparrow. She was looking at Lilith with a smile.
"Ah... has it always been like this?" Lilith's brain froze for a moment.
"That's right!" The lady smiled and nodded quickly. She spoke quickly and lightly. "So if there are any naughty ghosts running around outside at night, we can see them clearly!"
Lilith: She's pointing at me? She's pointing at me, right? So every time I climb over the wall to leave school at night, there's someone watching me from above?
"Haha, don't worry. Our security team doesn't care about your little games. Who hasn't been young?" When Grantham saw Lilith's guilty look, he knew that his colleague was teasing the child again.
"It's just that the High Court has been in turmoil recently and the public security is unstable. As a result, the number of people coming in and out of Goletia every day has become strange, so we have to keep a closer eye on them." Grantham explained.
Unrest in Highgarden? Lilith turned her head in confusion and glanced at Catherine beside her, but she seemed distracted and did not respond to her gaze.
"Well, Miss Lilith." Grantham looked up and counted with his hands for a long time, then pulled out a stack of thick scrolls from his arms, "There are eleven new ones in total. Just like before, please sign the Large Magic Pet Responsibility Form."
Lilith:? ? ?
"Is this my responsibility? They flew here on their own, so they can't be considered wild?" Lilith was dumbfounded. Does that mean if these guys break something, they have to pay for it? !
"I thought you were a responsible owner. Since they are already gregarious, you are of course responsible for them." Grantham said in a surprised tone, and pushed a stack of responsibility letters over without question. Just want to keep the animals but not take responsibility? That won't work.
In the end, Lilith failed in the negotiations and signed the agreement in tears.
"See you next time, Miss Lilith. Next time you go out to play, you can look up. Maybe I'm right above your head!" The lady snapped her fingers handsomely, and then sat on the broom that appeared out of thin air, and flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"...It's indeed a wonderful holiday adventure." After a while, Catherine suddenly praised.
Although her tone was flat, Lilith felt that she could hear a hint of gloating. Why was this guy becoming more and more sinister?! But it was not important. She was more concerned about something else.
"What's going on in High Court?" Lilith still remembered what the security team had just said.
Catherine blinked and looked at the girl opposite her with concerned eyes. The moonlight brushed against her golden hair and shone on her face, as if it was coated with a layer of smooth white glaze. Her eyelashes flickered, casting fine shadows on her face. She looked pure and beautiful, making people want to tell her everything they knew.
In High Court...
"Nothing." Catherine tried to control her tone and spoke slowly, "It's just that His Majesty the King suddenly fainted in front of the crowd. His condition was urgent and serious, so it was inevitable that some people would be scared..."
Lilith has helped her enough, she shouldn't be involved in human life inexplicably - Catherine thought so and swallowed the truth silently.
"Ah, will it affect you?" Lilith immediately became concerned about her friend and began to imagine the drama of the succession struggle in the TV series.
"...No." Catherine shook her head. "It's just that I have more work than before, and I may have to travel back and forth between Highgarden and Gloria more often on weekends."
After King George had to give up power again, she was assigned more work and had a lot more lessons to learn.
It seemed that everyone was getting anxious.
"Haha! You have to make up lessons too!" Lilith immediately laughed with glee.
She waved forward, and the gargoyle flew down and landed in front of her.
"In order to support you in studying hard, I'll lend you my car, beautiful girl?" Lilith leaned on the gargoyle and flicked her hair, looking like a domineering female president.
"What car?" Catherine looked confused. Where did the car come from?
"Tsk, that's the guy!!" Lilith patted the gargoyle in front of her, "If you leave at night, let this guy pick you up. It will definitely save time than taking a carriage."
A warm current flowed through Catherine's heart, and she was speechless for a moment. Compared with her own considerations and scruples, Lily's unreserved frankness and enthusiasm always shocked her from time to time and made her feel ashamed.
"Gulu."
The gargoyle was called out from the team by Lilith, but did not receive any instructions and made a dull cry, seeming a little confused.
"What's your name? I haven't asked you a question yet." As soon as the poor gargoyle spoke, Lilith grabbed him and taught him a lesson.
"Are you a gargoyle or a succubus? How did you abduct others? It was you, right? You must have told them something secretly. I've already told you, so don't show off even if you meet a good master!"
Catherine:…
"Do you think they came to Gloria because of it?" Catherine raised her hand and touched the gargoyle that was squatting obediently in front of her. Its skin was cold and hard, and it felt very comfortable to touch on a summer night.
"if not?"
"So many of you went to the Thousand Needles Bridge together..." Catherine said, slowly raising her head to look at the row of gargoyles on the roof.
Under the moonlight, their shadows were huge and hideous, giving off a very oppressive feeling. If a child saw them, they would surely be frightened to tears. But Catherine knew that they were just a group of simple and honest fellows who could only make gurgling sounds, and they were despised by Lilith all day long for not even being able to hit a mosquito.
"But they only fell on this dormitory building, Lilith." Catherine looked at the girl in front of her steadily. Wherever she was, there would always be surprises.
Lilith was startled when she heard this, and then her eyes became brighter and brighter as she looked at Catherine——
"I see!"
Catherine smiled.
"——Because you are the heroine! Of course they would appear near the heroine by accident! They are coming for you!" Lilith suddenly realized.
Catherine's smile froze on her face, she rolled her eyes, turned and left.
