The winter night quickly turned dark after sunset, and the bustling and noisy on the streets gradually fell into a deserted state. The dim street lights were lit up, and the hurried footsteps of pedestrians seemed to be avoiding the cold wind, and they seemed to be busy returning to their own warm home.

The falling snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and the eaves of the roof were covered with silver. Looking at the quiet night outside the window, Pandillia saw a blurred figure slowly coming from afar. She turned around because she didn't want to see the other person, as if the other person had a disgusting smell that made people want to stay away.

Lying on the soft and warm bed, Pandillia closed her eyes tiredly. She was not sleepy at all, but simply seemed to be escaping from something, curling up, as if she was alone in the whole world.

For a long time, for a long time.

The door knocked gently.

"Miss, the master told you to come and have dinner."

The maid's respectful and polite voice sounded outside the door.

Pandilia subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly she remembered something, and the resistance in her heart collapsed instantly. She stood up from the bed, and she decided to accept his invitation.

Because Xia Lan rarely pays attention to Pandelia in normal times, and even does not care about her diet and schedule at all, this time the other party's notification for no reason made her feel a bad premonition, probably something important happened.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Xia Lan and Winnie had been waiting for a long time on the dining table. After walking to the farthest chair from Xia Lan with expressionless faces, she turned a blind eye to the dazzling array of delicious food on the dining table. There was only one person in her beautiful blue eyes.

Xia Lan waved her hand and scolded the maids serving around her. The knife and fork she picked up in her hand were like a signal. Dinner began.

The atmosphere of the dinner was silent and bizarre. No one spoke, only the sound of knife and fork colliding with silver plates and chewing food.

Pandillia casually ate a bite of golden and crispy fried fish cubes, chewing them carefully as if they were chewing wax. On the contrary, Winnie's hungry look was swallowed up, her charming little face was full of greasiness, and her feast completely destroyed her cute image.

Unlike Pandillia who is very worried, since Xia Lan recommended her to Count Heather's alchemy workshop, she has been consuming a lot of mental experiments every day. Count Heather's alchemy workshop is undoubtedly much better than Viscount Frant's alchemy workshop. There is Winnie who can gain more valuable knowledge and experiments. She doesn't know when she will leave in a hurry like last time, so she is trying her best to squeeze her energy every day. The consequences lead to her extremely hungry body every day after finishing her research experiment. For her, diet is just a simple supplement to her physical energy. If it weren't for Xia Lan's notice, she might still be fighting in the alchemy workshop.

When a person has his own pursuits and dreams, they will emit infinite energy. Just like Winnie, no external objects can interfere with them after devoted to something.

Winnie was the first to finish her dinner. After drinking a glass of honey water, she gently stroked her bulging belly, and her sweet face was full of satisfaction.

After glanced at the quiet Xia Lan and Pandillia, Winnie sighed in her heart. She could understand Pandillia's betrayal, but with Xia Lan's personality, he would definitely not do this for no reason. The different ideas and ideas caused the freezing point between the two.

If Xia Lan was willing to explain her behavior, it might be able to untie Pandilia's knot. Unfortunately, this is just a beautiful fantasy. People who are a little familiar with Xia Lan know that this is impossible.

After putting down the knife and fork, wiped the food stains on his mouth with a napkin, Xia Lan opened her mouth.

"I will follow Earl Heather to Cantland in three days."

"What about us?"

When Winnie heard this, she immediately asked with concern.

Pandillia was also concerned about her. At this time, she was so tasteless that she had already finished her dinner, and her mind was focused on the other party.

"You will stay in Ebranro as hostages for the time being." Xialan replied calmly.

Winnie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that she would not have to wander again. There were still many unfinished experiments in the alchemist room waiting for her to continue research.

"I can still go to the alchemy workshop as before, right?"

"Yes, Count Heather will not restrict your freedom in Ebranron." Xialan said.

"In other words, we are only free in Ebranro?!" Pandilia suddenly said coldly.

"Yes." Xia Lan glanced at Pandillia.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can continue to stay in the alchemy room, I'll be satisfied." Winnie jerked at the right time. "But, there's no problem with our safety?!"

"Don't worry, Earl Heather will not hurt you, and he will even take your life with great caution!" Xia Lan said.

"Because he doesn't want to offend you, especially the snow is coming." Pandilia seemed to guess something and snorted coldly.

"First snow?! Yes, it seems that it has snowed today, but what does it have to do with it?!" Winnie was confused.

"Because Viscount Frant will take advantage of the situation to launch a war against Count Heather when the first snow falls." Pandillia directly revealed the secret.

"What?! Why haven't I heard of this?" Winnie couldn't help but feel surprised.

"This is not something you care about." Xia Lan looked at Winnie coldly and said, "I will give you a list at that time. All you need to do is to complete the work on the list."

"Do you want me to make research potions for you again?" Winnie frowned slightly.

"Don't forget, this is the only place where you are worthy to me." Xia Lan said.

"So you can treat everyone as your target?!" Pandillia pointed at him with a sneer.

"This is her wish." Xia Lan said expressionlessly.

"But have you ever asked me about my intention?!"

Pandilia could no longer bear the anger in her heart, and reached out to slap the dining table hard and stood up angrily.

"Stop quarrel!" Winnie yelled, covering her ears, "Can you all calm down!"

"I've always been calm."

Xia Lan looked at Pandillia who looked like a furry cat and said.

"I just want to need an explanation." Pandilia glared with a beautiful eyes.

"What explanation do you need?" Xia Lan asked.

"Selling the explanation of betraying me!" Pandillia said.

"Because I need stronger strength to protect your safety." Xia Lan said in silence.

"Strong? Is this just your excuse?" Pandillia sneered.

"If you meet an enemy as powerful as Baixize again, you will not have the good luck of the last time to escape, because I have no ability to stop it." Xia Lan said. "To be precise, my strength can no longer protect you and take into account your safety."

"So you need stronger strength? So you can sell me to Earl Heather with peace of mind as a bargaining chip for the transaction." Pandilia said coldly.

"Yes." Xia Lan did not deny it.

"Please forgive me for saying goodbye first."

Pandilia breathed heavily, and for a moment, she pulled open the chair and left straight outside the door.

After her figure disappeared in the restaurant, the atmosphere fell silent again. Xia Lan took out a piece of paper from the Xu Ring and threw it in front of Winnie and said, "I need to see the finished product on the list the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, Xia Lan also left.

Only Winnie was left alone in the deserted restaurant. She picked up the paper on the table and looked thin. It turned out that many of the potions on the list were gentle potions such as physical conditioning and calming the gods.
