Chapter 544 Christmas Eve


    The snow is long.


    For most people, this is just an ordinary Christmas, where everyone chats in the room, drinks tea and enjoys the happy holiday atmosphere.


    But for Duanmuhuai... this is a hunting moment.


    "Stop for me!"


    The strong body flashed through the blizzard, and Duanmuhuai rushed forward like an angry bull. The knee-deep snow was completely unable to stop Duanmuhuai from moving forward, and in front of him, a huge black shadow jumped rapidly in the forest. This thing doesn''t look like an ordinary wolf or dog at all. If you have to say it, it gives Duanmu Huai a more like a monster like a chimpanzee trekking in the forest.


    Duanmuhuai can see its two front paws quickly grasping the branches, swinging and moving forward quickly in the tree. But unlike ordinary chimpanzees and other primates, it is not holding on to the branches, but the trunk - this makes Duanmu Huai so angry that he doesn''t have the flexible way of action as the other party. He could only chase him tightly from behind and try to bite the **** black shadow.


    "Quaqa!!Quaqa!!"


    Like a crow, or as if some strange monster screamed, echoing in the forest, it sounded like this **** monster was mocking him - Duanmu Huai Nima couldn''t bear it in an instant.


    "You are looking for death, are you?"


    Looking at the black shadow that was swaying in front, Duanmu Huai also became angry and became angry from his heart and brave. He suddenly stopped, then clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then Duanmu Huai punched the front and directly hit a huge, thick trunk in front of him.


    “Boom———!!”


    With a loud bang, the thick tree trunk that was enough for the five people to embrace exploded and broke in an instant. The trunk that was dozens of meters high flew forward and smashed straight towards the black shadow.


    “Ga——!!”


    The black shadow obviously didn''t expect Duanmuhuai to do this, but he suddenly jumped up and tried to avoid this unexpected blow. But at the same time, the whistling trunks had fallen from the sky, with branches and snow like a huge fly swatter, and directly slapped at the black shadow.


    “Bang!”


    The heavy trees fell heavily, smashing the shadows into the ground. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, shook his fist, and then walked over with big strides.


    "I''m really looking for death. What''s wrong with me not killing you?"


    Although I don’t know why this thing fell to the ground and appeared in front of me, since it came, Duanmu Huai would not let it run away like that.


    Soon, Duanmuhuai came to the place where the black shadow was pounced on, but unfortunately, the guy didn''t seem to be killed by the trees. Although the marks and blood that were smashed could be seen on the ground, the black shadow seemed to have taken the opportunity to escape.


    But... Since you are injured, where can you escape?


    Looking at the traces in front of him, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, then continued to track the traces and entered the depths of the forest.


    "Let''s go, Ling Nu, be sure to find this **** guy."


    "Meow!"


    Just as Duanmuhuai was angrily looking for the shadow monster in the forest, Charlie also came to Baskerville Manor with Mari and Asherika.


    “Thank you very much for inviting us to the Christmas dinner, Baroness Basqueville.”


    Although Charlie''s body is already moving, she still cannot walk at will, so this time she travels in a wheelchair.


    "You''re welcome, welcome to Baskerville Manor. Thank you for accepting my invitation. After all, on this special day, if I were the only one, it would be too lonely."


    Facing Charlie, the Baroness of Baskerville also spoke with a smile on her face.


    "It''s just an ordinary Christmas dinner. Please don''t be restrained, just be as easy as you go."


    "Okay... Then it''s better to obey your orders than respect... Are you the only one?"


    "Of course not, there is also a Miss Lorena...ah, she is here."


    As they were talking, everyone saw a girl with pink hair and very petite and cute looking walked out. After seeing her, Mary breathed a sigh of relief.


    Sure enough, Miss Lorena is here... So is Mr. Duanmu here too?


    "Miss Lorena, this is the daughter of the Bronte family, Miss Charlotte Bronte, and her friends..."


    "I''m Asherika Dulles."


    "Ah, hello, I am Lorena and Miss Marie. It''s been a long time since I saw you. Have you exercised hard recently?"


    As she said with a smile, Lorena also greeted everyone. Of course, she did not forget to talk to Mary.


    "Hey? Marie, do you know Miss Lorena?"


    Facing Lorena''s greeting, Charlie and Asherica were obviously a little surprised. After all, they had never heard Marie mention Lorena.


    "Ah, um... I do know Miss Lorena. That was when Charlie, you were unconscious, and I was taken care of by her..."


    Mary didn''t think there was any problem and gave an answer soon. But… she looked up and looked around.


    "Miss Lorena? Mr. Duanmu...?"


    "Ah, Lord Knight is not here. I think he should come to the dinner? Maybe not?"


    "Knight...?"


    "………grown ups??"


    “………………”


    For some reason, Mary felt that the eyes of Charlie and Asherika coming from the side were so stingy... Uh, did she say something wrong?


    After a few simple conversations, the Baroness of Baskerville and Lorena temporarily left, and at this time Charlie and Asherika surrounded Marie.


    "Uh...what happened? What happened?"


    "It seems that Mary is hiding a lot of things from us."


    Ashelica hugged her arms in dissatisfaction and stared at Mary. Although Charlie on the other side did not speak, her eyes also revealed the same emotion.


    "Why don''t you know that Ah Xie doesn''t know. Do you still know that Miss Lorena? She is not a student from Master''s College, right?"


    "I met by chance. She is a tour priest... she said so herself."


    “So did you meet in the church?”


    "That''s not true. She just guided me to do some exercise..."


    "exercise???"


    "Um………"


    I have to say that when recalling the Spartan exercise guided by Lorena, Marie also felt instinctively trembling. To be honest, that is definitely not a training that an ordinary lady can complete.


    Why is a priest so keen on training...


    "So, who is that knight?"


    At this moment, Charlie also asked. Although she was not as aggressive as Asherika, for some reason, Mary only felt that Charlie seemed to be more courageous than on the altar of the Dark City.


    "That''s Mr. Duanmu..."


    Having said that, Shali should have seen Duanmu Huai in Antarctica at that time, but she had completely lost her memory at the Tatar Gate, and I''m afraid she didn''t remember this.


    "Why did that Miss Lorena call the other party the Knight? Could it be that gentleman is the Knight who was named by the Queen?"


    "Woo... It seems not. According to Miss Lorena, Mr. Duanmu seems to be the honorary knight of their church. She is also a priest, so she calls Mr. Duanmu the Knight..."


    “Church?”


    I have to say that when they heard this, Shari and Asherika were both shocked. The Queen''s Knights were unimaginable. They had never heard of such things as the knights who were granted by the church. When Ashelica heard this, her eyes glowed.


    "In other words, that gentleman is a Paladin? I have never seen a real Paladin. I don''t know what kind of person he will be..."


    "Well…………"


    Looking at Asherika''s eyes glowing, Mary smiled bitterly. Indeed, if you had never seen Duanmu Huai, when you think of the Paladins who were conferred by the church, the girls'' first impression must be that kind of knight with blonde hair and blue eyes, sacred and handsome, full of gentlemanly demeanor.


    But unfortunately...


    "Although it is not good to defeat your fantasy, Ah Xie, I have to remind you that gentleman must be completely different from what you imagined."


    To be honest, even Mary never thought of connecting the word Duanmuhuai and the knight.


    And... he is not like a chivalrous person at all. Recalling the way Duanmuhuai smashed the heads of those shadow monsters mercilessly, Mary also sighed silently in her heart.


    The real knight probably won''t do that.


    …………It shouldn’t be possible?


    To be honest, Mary herself has no confidence in this.


    "So how did you and that gentleman know each other?"


    "Hey? This..."


    Wow, here it’s again!


    Looking at Charlie and asked Mary with a smile, Asherika next to her couldn''t help but stick out her tongue. She had long discovered that Charlie always pressed her step by step when facing Mary''s male dating issues. Ashelika still remembers that when the three of them were traveling together, they would occasionally meet Mr. Zach, whom Mary knew. At that time, Zach just said a few words to Mary, but was driven away by Charlie quietly.


    Although Mari herself didn''t seem to find any problem... But Asherika kept watching. She had long discovered that Charlie didn''t seem to like to let boys get close to Mary. Every time a man approached Mary, Charlie would become a little scary...


    But from a certain perspective, Asherika is not incomprehensible. After all, Mary has never even had her first love, so she must be very serious and consider it very seriously. Not everyone can become Mary''s lover. If so, Asherika also hopes that Mary can have a happy and happy relationship like herself...


    But... Xia Li seems to be a little too tight.


    Looking at Charlie with a smile on her face at this moment, Asherika couldn''t help but feel a little scared. Of course, she could understand Charlie''s thoughts. After all, even Asherika herself had never heard of Miss Lorena and that Mr. Knight from Mary. In other words, both parties should not have known each other for too long. Since even Charlie doesn''t know, it is probably the man who met Mary during Charlie''s coma... Then again, that man is the "mysterious man" who took the opportunity to play with Mary. If that''s the case, Asheri can''t forgive him!


    Thinking of this, Asherika also clenched her fists.


    When the other party comes, she must take a good look at what kind of man she is!


    At this time, Baroness Basqueville and Lorena also came back again, so the group started drinking tea and chatting - although Baroness Basqueville sounded very loud, in fact, she was just a girl under twenty years old. Of course, for ordinary noble ladies, unless students like Charlie, Mary and Asherika who were studying in master''s colleges basically chose to get engaged after entering the social circle and got married early.


    Like the Baroness of Baskerville, this is true. Although the identities of both parties are different, their age is not too different. We chat together and talk about the latest popular topics, which is a good banquet.


    In this way, until late at night, the Baroness of Baskerville invited everyone to stay, and everyone naturally agreed.


    but……


    “Will Mr. Duanmu not come to the banquet?”


    With a little uneasy, the Baroness of Baskerville looked at Lorena and asked, who only smiled bitterly.


    "For Lord Knight, maybe commissioning is more important. When I went to find him today, he was not in the cottage. Maybe he found some clues..."


    “Dongdongdongdongdongdong.”


    At this moment, suddenly, a knock on the door came from outside. When I heard the knock on the door, the old housekeeper who was beside me hurriedly walked over.


    "I guess Mr. Duanmu is here, I''ll go and have a look."


    As they said, the old housekeeper left the room. Although Charlie and Asherika were also very curious, as ladies, of course, they would not run around rudely, just sitting on chairs, and then they heard a mess of noise outside.


    "Welcome...Wow, Mr. Duanmu, what is this?"


    "Oh, I just came back and happened to think that this is Christmas. I will bring you a gift... How about it? Isn''t it not bad?"


    "No, this... please be careful not to scare the wife and guests..."


    "What''s wrong?!"


    Hearing this, Asherika''s eyes suddenly shone and she couldn''t even sit on the chair. If Charlie and Mary hadn''t grabbed her, she would have wanted to run out to take a look.


    Fortunately, after a while, the old butler walked into the room again, but this time his expression was a little subtle.


    "Madam, that...Mr. Duanmu has prepared a gift for you."


    "Oh, it''s really a painstaking effort..."


    "No, what...why... please don''t panic."


    “???”


    Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they saw a huge figure walking in from outside the door, and a deer was resisting on his shoulder? !


    That''s right, a white deer!


    And it''s still alive!


    "It''s also considered that this guy is not lucky and he has to block my way."


    Duanmuhuai put down the white deer carried on her shoulder. The latter struggled on the ground for a while, then knelt down timidly. Looking at the white deer in front of her, Duanmuhuai was furious. He followed the blood and traces left by the black shadow and was almost chasing him, but he didn''t expect that he might have mistakenly entered the territory of this white deer. The latter dared to come in front of him to cause trouble for him?


    This Duanmu Huai can’t bear it anymore.


    I just learned how to capture, can I suffer this grievance?


    So when facing the Bai Lu rushing towards him, Duanmu Huai also grabbed and flipped his hands and smashed the other party directly.


    “……………………………”


    At this moment, everyone in the room was shocked when they saw the white deer in front of them.


    This deer is very beautiful, with snow-white all over, even its horns are white, and its body is very large, even bigger than a horse. Because of this, this guy is probably a domineering person in the mountains - unfortunately he was unlucky and blocked Duanmuhuai''s path, and then he was captured by Duanmuhuai.


    It''s lucky if it didn''t kill it.


    "This is really...an unimaginable gift, Mr. Duanmu..."


    Looking at the white deer in front of her, the Baroness Baskerville also had her eyes glowing. Girls like beautiful things, so she is no exception.


    “Can I keep it in the manor?”


    "Whatever, it''s for you anyway. If you don''t want me, I will kill it and eat barbecue."


    "How can this be done? It''s so beautiful and cute!"


    Hearing this, Asherika couldn''t help but scream. Indeed, the white deer in front of her was curled up at Duanmuhuai''s feet, squatting on the ground, looking trembling, and she looked very cute...


    "If this guy hadn''t been in the way, I might have caught the thing that pretended to be a fool... Forget it, let''s just do it for the time being."


    Seeing the girls'' gazes at them, Duanmu Huai decisively chose to give up. As expected, this world depends on appearance. If this thing is not good-looking... Alas, forget it, it is useless to say these things now.


    The housekeeper took the deer away. Perhaps because Duanmu Huai was dealt with, the deer looked very well-behaved, and even a little pitiful, but it was very unhappy for Duanmu Huai. Think about it carefully, the final boss is about to be chased in the game, and something suddenly appears blocking your way. When you turn around, the boss has finally run away. This is really angering people to death.


    Originally, the reason why Duanmuhuai came back with the living was that she wanted to kill and bleed the bloodshot ones were more delicious!


    Duanmuhuai was taken to dinner by the housekeeper, and then several girls got together again.


    "Wow, that gentleman is really fierce..."


    Ashelica was the first to express her opinion quietly.


    "Ah Xie, it''s impolite for you to say this?"


    Although Xia Li looked like she was dissuading her, looking at her expression... she didn''t seem to object.


    "Mr. Duanmu does look a bit fierce, but he is still a very easy-to-talk person."


    Mary didn''t care about this and spoke to comfort the two of them. In fact, she had expected her friend''s reaction.


    However, what Mari didn''t expect was that when she heard this, Charlie and Asherika looked at her together.


    "Mary, do you seem to be familiar with this gentleman?"


    "Hey? This...isn''t it, okay?"


    "You won''t like him!"


    "Hey? No, this..."


    Hearing Asherika''s inquiry, Mary suddenly turned red and she waved her hand quickly.


    "I didn''t..."


    “Woo……”


    Although Mary desperately denied it, looking at her expression, Charlie and Asherika couldn''t help but feel sank.


    Could it be that someone really took advantage of their inattention and cheated Mary away?


    Such a thing is absolutely unforgivable!
