When he heard the content of the attendant's report and saw the change in the expression on Ropeni Glen's face, Gao Wen immediately guessed what was going on.

As he knew and speculated - Patty Glen was the daughter of the lord of Glen, and the little girl must be in very good condition now. The reason why she connected to the spiritual network of the Eternal Sleeper was probably related to her physical condition.

Gao Wen concealed the fluctuations in his heart, with a simple curiosity on his face, "Ms. Glen, what happened?"

"Please don't worry, you can just wait here," Viscount Roppeni controlled the worrying expression on her face. She bent down slightly to apologize to Gao Wen, and said in a low tone, "I need to leave and will be back soon."

Gao Wen thought for a moment and nodded, "...Please feel free to deal with your business, don't care about us. But if there is any place you need help, I'll be happy to serve you at any time."

Viscount Roppeni quickly thanked him, and then hurriedly followed the servant out of the living room.

Gao Wen watched the other person disappear behind the door, but until the end he controlled the urge to ask further, and did not make any thoughts of meeting the other person's daughter - because it was too abrupt.

Patty Glen should be just a child about ten years old. He, Gao Wen, has just been resurrected not long ago. He is currently in the Great South. It is really suspicious to suddenly see the other party’s daughter in such a situation that he has no choice but to ask his single mother to say, “My fellow villager, I heard that your family has a daughter?”—If that is the case, his reputation will definitely be gone forever…

In order to prevent the arousing of Penny's vigilance and resistance, he had to make his words and deeds more natural, so Gao Wen just watched the Viscount leave the room silently, knowing that he could always find the opportunity to meet the "Patty Glen" side.

After waving his hand to calm the noisy harp and lyre, Gao Wen began to wander around the reception room with interest, observing the collections and creations from former Viscount Glen. While looking at those things with personal characteristics, he recalled the narratives and rumors about former Viscount Glen in his mind - those things are only a few years short and only a dozen years ago, but have become absurd by the chaotic habits of recording and some ulterior motives of this era, as if they were dark stories passed down hundreds of years ago.

Among the various versions of the circulating stories, former Viscount Glen is a mentally ill person who is deeply troubled by evil spirits or genetic diseases. He has both the characteristics of extraordinary wisdom and mental madness. He uses his wisdom to accumulate wealth, but he also squanders the wealth, corrupting the tradition and reputation of the family, and causing chaos in the territorial order. He was once the best among the younger generation of southern nobles and the ideal lover in the hearts of countless noble ladies, but he finally fell into the desire for taboo knowledge and could not extricate himself. He even died in the magic laboratory...

Gao Wen kept pieced together the real and fake stories in his mind. Most of those stories were the results of Amber's investigation. After he sorted out the stories again, he turned around and nodded at the half-elf who was licking the plate, "Are you full?"

"Eat enough, eat enough!" Amber patted her stomach in a particularly inexpensive way, "From your expression and tone... I must let me work again, right?"

"It's not a very troublesome thing," Gao Wen smiled, "You go to the gate of the castle and check out that door..."

...

Before the evening dance began, Roppenni Glen finally appeared in front of Gao Wen again - of course, Amber returned to Gao Wen one step earlier than her.

The viscount's face was a hint of fatigue, but his emotions had obviously calmed down. After seeing her, Gao Wen asked naturally, "I heard the words of the servant just now, Patty Gurang is..."

"It's my daughter," Viscount Penny Rowe smiled faintly, as if the smile on her face was softer and more natural when she mentioned her daughter. "Her health is not very good..."

"I hope she can get back to health soon," said Gao Wen. "If you have the chance, I want to see that child - there is a very good druid in my territory, which may help."

The expression on Ropeni's face was softer, and the tone he spoke to Gao Wen was a little more sincere than before. "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid there is no druid that can cure Patty's disease. Of course, you can go to see her. I think Patty should be very happy to know a legendary figure like you - she often listened to your stories when she was a child."

The dance party began as scheduled.

In the largest banquet hall in Granburg, food and wine are filled with the dining table. The players offered by the Gran family played soothing and graceful Ansu court music on a wooden platform in the corner of the hall. Gentlemen and ladies in costume walked into the banquet hall and carried out their aristocratic social interaction in this prosperous and luxurious place. These small and medium-sized nobles or noble descendants from around Granburg did not ignore the person sitting on the platform at the end of the hall. From time to time, some people turned their eyes to the place above the ground, looking at the Duke of Cecil and Viscount Glen who were talking on it, and guessing what they were talking about.

Gao Wen was actually just chatting with Penny Ro. After watching the specifications of the dance, the texture of the tableware used on site, the number of musicians and the costumes, he smiled and praised, "A good dance."

"It is my honor to be able to get your comments like this," replied the Viscountess, "I have done my best to make this dance worthy of you."

Gao Wen just nodded slightly, and at some point in the following moment, he noticed a change in his eyes when Roppenni Glen looked at the noble members in the hall.

It was deep hostility, contempt, and a flame of almost hatred.

This change in eyes was hidden very well. If Gao Wen had not just captured it, he might have ignored it with his observation.

A smile appeared on the corner of Gao Wen's mouth and said in a casual tone, "How many of whom appeared here today also appeared in the banquet hall of Karov's Earl Hosman ten days ago?"

Penny Ronald's expression seemed to be stiff for a moment, but all her strangeness was fleeting. In the next moment, she had already spoken calmly, "It seems that even if seven hundred years have passed, what happened on this land can't be hidden from your eyes."

"No, there are many things that can be done, but I happened to find out one or two of them afterwards."

"...Earl Hosman used disgraceful means to steal your wealth, but fortunately Glenn did not get involved." The Viscount said after two seconds of silence, and quietly avoided Gao Wen's initial problem, and did not direct the topic to the noble members who gathered here.

But Gao Wen himself did not pursue this matter. He just mentioned it casually, looked at the reaction of Penny Glen, and then pretended to forget the topic, and suddenly said, "Your husband is an amazing person in my opinion."

"...That amazing person only left me a mess."

Gao Wen smiled slightly, turned to look at the southern nobles who were dancing gracefully in the banquet hall, speaking gracefully, and holding the accent like a stage actor. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a vague shadow in the crack of the door of the banquet hall.

He couldn't see what it was, but he knew that there was indeed someone in the crack of the door - because Roppenni Glen next to him had already stood up and looked at the same place with a look of surprise and nervousness.

The viscount woman seemed a little helpless. "Please allow me to..."

Gao Wen had already stood up at this time, "Don't care, go."

The visceral woman left her position almost immediately. She quickly passed through the side of the hall and walked towards the door of the banquet hall, while Gao Wen naturally followed.

Someone in the banquet hall noticed this scene in surprise, but after Penny Roh, the music continued to sound, and the nobles attending the dance did not leave, but many people's attention had obviously reached the gate and followed the figures of Penny Roh and Gowen.

Penny Rodriguez pushed open the door of the banquet hall, and Gao Wen stood behind her and looked out.

A chair made of wood with wheels parked in the corridor outside the door, a slightly panicked maid stood behind the chair, and a small curled figure sat inside the chair.

The little figure was a girl, with white and specially cut "cloths". The clothes had only one sleeve and a large opening at the waist. Because the skin of the person wearing it was fragile and festered, he might not be able to touch any fabric. She sat in a chair in a crooked position, and several belts fixed her body there to prevent her from rolling down. Under her skirt, one leg had been cut off from her knees, and the shriveled and shriveled limbs were weakly placed on the chair; half of her torso seemed to be scorched by flames, her skin was charred and wrinkled, and cracked everywhere, and the layers of scars formed after the scabs, a twisted and weird flesh and blood sticking, growing on her charred and wrinkled half body, which was one of her former arm.

She was tied to a chair like a ragged doll, her head was struggling and kept shaking slightly, as if it was difficult to fix her neck at any angle.

But she still had bright eyes, those eyes staring at Gao Wen curiously.

One third of her face was covered with ugly and twisted purple-red scars, but she still laughed and looked very happy

"You are so tall!"

Then, she added, "It's just like what Dad told in the story!"

Gao Wen squatted down in front of the chair, so that the little girl would no longer have to raise her head. He looked at the other party's bright eyes, and only these eyes were exactly the same as the lively girl in Dream City.

"Hello, Patty."
