Chapter 749: Chapter 543 Foggy Shadow_1 Chapter 749: Chapter 543 Foggy Shadow_1 “Huff………”
After finishing dinner, Duanmu Huai leaned back in his chair, letting out a sigh.
“Sir Knight, have you not found that hellhound yet?”
Lorena came over at this moment, curiously asking.
“It escaped. Speaking of which, this game of waiting for the dog isn't really suitable for me, I hate hide and seek the most.”
Duanmu Huai waved his hand in a bored manner, looking speechless.
“I hope it doesn't go attacking other townfolk.”
“That's hard to say … After all, why it has targeted the Baskerville family is also a mystery.”
After all, fairy tales are just fairy tales. In the end, only the ancestors from back then knew what had really happened. Although some players would use magic like necromancy to summon souls and ask them about the situation, unfortunately, Duanmu Huai didn't have such abilities or skills——after all, he was the God of Destruction.
If it was about crushing souls into pieces, that was his forte.
“How's Baroness faring?”
“Her spirits have been somewhat better lately, but her health isn't so good … um, how should I put this ……”
Upon saying this, Lorena fell into contemplation.
“From my point of view, Baroness may be pregnant.”
“Oh? Really, did she get a doctor to check?”
“It seems like she has her suspicions. She originally planned to invite a doctor to examine her after Christmas, but from my perspective, it is probably the case. After all, as a priest, we also have to handle these sorts of things; her condition seems similar to the women I've seen at the church.”
“Then you need to watch her closely, I suspect that dog might have stayed because of this.”
At least from the current situation, the people of the Baskerville family have all been attacked by the Hellhound. Although the Baroness Baskerville is married into the Baskerville family and strictly speaking does not have a blood relationship with the Baskerville clan, if she is bearing a child of the Baskerville clan, that'll be another matter.
“Understood, Sir Knight.”
Lorena nodded earnestly.
“Then I'll go out for another round.”
After dinner, Duanmu Huai felt bored and got up for a stretch.
“You're going out at this hour?”
“Like you said, perhaps that creature could go attacking the townfolk, you just need to protect the lady here, I'll take a round around town.”
Duanmu Huai wasn't being unreasonable, as the fact was that he lost track of the creature's whereabouts after reaching the hill bottom. In other words, that monster could very likely have infiltrated the town. Of course, it would have been fine if it was another time or if it wasn't injured, but it had been hurt by Duanmu Huai earlier, and injured animals are always dangerous. Although it's Christmas day and most people would be at their homes, just to be safe, Duanmu Huai decided to go check it out.
Duanmu Huai left the restaurant and arrived at the entrance, just as he was about to leave, Mary came over.
“Oh? Mr. Duanmu, where are you going so late at night??”
“I'm planning to check out the town.”
“Can I go with you?”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's reply, Mary's eyes brightened, and she quickly asked.
“You? Aren't you chatting with your friends?”
“Ahahaha……um……”
At this, Mary involuntarily gave a bitter smile. This was precisely the reason she wanted to go out with Duanmu Huai. Asherica and Shirley had been grilling her about her relationship with Mr. Duanmu. Although Mary felt there was nothing between them, they appeared to have determined that there must be some secret——of course there are secrets, but they can't be told.
She certainly can't bring up the incident in the Antarctic, the Ancient One, Shoggs, the monster, etc… with Shirley.
As a result, the more Mary tried to hide, the more it seemed to Shirley and Asherica that she had something to hide, it made Mary almost want to cry. Asherica was one thing, but Shirley, you're the root of all these problems … of course, Mary couldn't say this to Shirley.
So upon hearing Duanmu Huai planned to go out, she eagerly tried to find an excuse to leave.
Otherwise, she didn't know what would happen if those two kept questioning her.
“Alright, make sure to dress warmly to avoid catching a cold.”
Duanmu Huai didn't object. On the one hand, he was just idling around, on the other hand…… he wanted to see if the Golden Pupil had any attraction to the hellhound.
This can be considered the Western version of Monk Tang's flesh. The hellhound might like it too?
If so, things would be much simpler when facing similar situations in the future. He could just let Monk Tang out to lure the monsters.
Just like in Journey to the West, demons try to capture Monk Tang to eat his flesh, and then they get beaten to death by Sun Wukong, how convenient.
Hmm, so speaking in this way, Mary is Monk Tang, he is Sun Wukong, and Lorena is Tsar Monk?
Then who is Zhu Bajie?
……… It doesn't matter if there isn't one, after all, this isn't a real Pigrimage.
After changing his clothes, Duanmu Huai and Mary left Baskerville Manor together, walking towards the town along the street.
