Chapter 546 The Magical Heir 40
The housekeeper held the broken rope and looked at everyone: "Corrupted."
Even the doorbell cord is broken. How long has it been since no one came to this place?
James looked around and said uncertainly: "How about...let's go, maybe there's nothing inside."
Nicholas was very serious: "Then who stole my money? You are also magicians after all. Could it be that the money has been stolen and you have no intention of finding the thief?"
He is the devil, the devil! If the money is stolen, wouldn't it be a joke if word spread?
Actually, Demon King, you are worrying too much. There are not many demon kings now, and I can't even care about it. Who cares if a silver coin is stolen from you?
Xi Ning's mouth twisted slightly: "I don't have much awareness. It's not easy for thieves. Maybe the family is in trouble, so let's help the poor." Her mission is not to catch the thief, but to return to the manor to inherit the property and magic book.
In this case, you still have to go in. Even if there is no one inside, for the dignity of the devil and the dignity of the magician, you must go in once.
The door was closed, I pushed it with my hand, but it was still closed.
Nicholas looked at the pile of thorn balls following behind him and had an idea.
"Boom~" The door was knocked open, and on the door panel that fell to the ground and stirred up dust, a lot of black roots stepped inside.
Nicholas was outside, covering his nose with a handkerchief. When the dust settled slightly and he could clearly see the hall inside, he said with satisfaction: "This is called making the best use of everything."
A group of people walked in, and the thorn balls were already running around inside, just like the huge black thorny rattan balls, rushing around the dusty castle. When the door was closed, he broke in directly.
They are so powerful that one impact can knock the door panel to the ground.
Xining looked around. As for people, there seemed to be no one here. Not to mention the sleeping princess, there wasn't even a ghost.
And Brad looked around, where was the money, where was the silver coin, where was the promised treasure? He walked to the side and looked at a table lamp covered with spider webs. He picked it up and looked at it with disappointment: "Brass coated with gold."
This kind of price is not high. If it is silver, it is necessary to take away the money to sell it.
The place seems to be quite large, and things are arranged neatly, but there is not a single gold or silverware, either made of iron or copper. It looks like a declining noble, struggling to maintain the prosperity of the past, and using all kinds of cheap products to frame the vanity.
There are no servants anymore, and nothing is left, leaving only the huge castle and a bunch of worthless supplies and decorations.
This is quite a strange thing!
Suddenly Nicholas stepped on his foot, and a sharp cry came from the ground: "Ah~, it hurts!"
He saw a hand under Nikolai's feet. The hand was very small, about the same size as an ordinary seven or eight-year-old child's hand, but at a glance it was clear that it was not a human hand. The hands are hairy and have sharp black nails.
Nicholas stepped on it mercilessly: "Hmph, can you use the same method on me twice?"
"Ah, it hurts, let me go." The voice from underground was sharp and thin, but it didn't sound like a child's voice. It sounded well-behaved anyway.
"Catch it out!" Nicholas ordered, and the housekeeper stepped forward and squatted down.
While squatting down, he punched the ground with his fist, making a hole. Pull out the "person" inside.
With such great strength, James stuck out his tongue.
And Xi Ning was already used to strange things. The Demon King's slaves were definitely not normal people. If his guess was correct, they should be demons or something like that. Otherwise, given the long life of the Demon King, if humans are used as servants, the frequency of changing servants will be very high.
Just like humans raising pets, except for turtles and the like, it is possible that the pet does not die but the owner dies first. Generally, cats, dogs, and even hamsters and rabbits have life spans. Humans don't realize how long their lifespan is, but these pets will definitely think that their owners' lifespans are so long. What the housekeeper caught was a "dwarf" who was less than a normal person's waist, only about fifty centimeters tall. Not only his hands, but his whole body was covered with hair, and his face was almost covered by a thick beard and curly hair. Only a pair of sly black eyes and a bright red rosy nose were revealed on the entire face, and not even a mouth could be seen.
Wearing a hat with two rabbit-like ears on each side of the hat.
He was covering his little furry hand that had been stepped on, and gasped: "It hurts, it hurts so much, can't you be gentler?"
"Elf?" Xining looked curiously.
Nicholas sneered: "They are elves. There are many stories about them in human legends, such as shoe elves and dwarfs!"
The elf covered his hands and shouted: "I don't know how to make shoes. We never know how to make shoes. Didn't you see that my feet are bare?"
Sure enough, the feet were bare. He was a small man, but he had a pair of big feet, thick and big, with sharp black nails. It looked less like a human and more like a mole.
It seems that this race is good at digging holes. They often dig holes and steal money bags without anyone noticing.
That's not right! Xining asked curiously: "How did you steal the money?" If you dug a hole, ripped off the money bag and stole it, then how did the money bag come back on its own?
"That's very simple. You can recite the incantation when you get close to it, transfer the money bag to your hand, and recite the incantation after taking the money to return it." Nicholas glanced at her: "I can't blame you, after all, you are still young."< br>
Uh, does this count as being looked down upon?
"I don't care what you are, if you stole my money, you have to pay the price!" Nicholas said politely.
"No, don't kill me!" the elf shouted, with a high-pitched voice and his feet still kicking in the air. He really looked like a big furry mole: "I will give you back the money, twice."< br>
Seeing no response, he added: "Three times, four times..."
After talking about ten times, Nicholas said: "A hundred times!"
"A hundred times!" The elf almost stopped crying, but there were no tears in his dark eyes, only cunning: "You want me to go bankrupt!"
"A thousand times!" Nicholas sneered: "A thousand times is only a thousand silver coins. You can make it back in two years. If you talk nonsense, it's ten thousand times."
"Okay, a thousand times, a thousand times, that's it." The elf quickly agreed.
Brad rolled his eyes: "There are a thousand times more than me."
Xining also said: "I also want a thousand times."
Anyway, don’t give it up for free, James: “Then give me a thousand times the compensation.”
Everyone looked at the housekeeper. The housekeeper looked at everyone as if he was a bit belated and said, "It's no use asking for money."
"What a good man!" The elf was so moved that he almost cried.
The butler leisurely said: "This guy is quite heavy. I don't know if it tastes good or not."
The elf was stunned for a moment, then swung his feet back and forth, and now he was really crying: "Don't eat me, I don't taste good, really, I don't taste good. If you give me money, I will definitely give you money, don't eat me!"
