Chapter 543 Christmas Eve

The white snow is endless.

For most people, this is just an ordinary Christmas, with everyone chatting in their rooms, drinking tea, and enjoying the happy holiday atmosphere.

But for Duanmu Huai... this is a hunting moment.

"Stop for me!"

Duanmuhuai's strong body flashed through the snowstorm, and Duanmuhuai rushed forward like an angry bull. The knee-deep snow could not stop Duanmuhuai's progress at all, and in front of him, a

The huge black shadow jumped rapidly in the forest. This thing didn't look like an ordinary wolf or dog at all. If I had to say it, it felt more like a chimpanzee trudging through the forest.

monster.

Duanmuhuai can be seen quickly grabbing the branches with its two front paws, swinging forward in the tree. But unlike ordinary chimpanzees and other primates, it is not grabbing the branches.

, but the tree trunk - this made Duanmu Huai very angry. He didn't have the flexibility of action. He could only chase after him, trying to hold on to this damn black shadow.

"Quack quack!!! quack quack!!!"

The cry sounded like a crow or some kind of strange monster, echoing in the forest. It sounded like this damn monster was laughing at himself——Duanmuhuai Nima couldn't bear it anymore.

"You're looking for fucking death, aren't you?"

Looking at the black figure swaying in front of him, Duanmu Huai was also angry and angry. He suddenly stopped, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then punched the front.

It came out and hit a huge, thick tree trunk directly in front of me.

"boom-------!!!"

With a loud noise, the tree trunk, which was thick enough for five people to hug each other, exploded and broke instantly. The tree trunk, which was dozens of meters high, flew forward and crashed straight towards the black figure.

“Gah————!!!”

The black figure obviously did not expect that Duanmuhuai would do this. It suddenly jumped up, trying to avoid this unexpected blow. But at the same time, the roaring tree trunk had fallen from the sky, carrying branches and snow.

Like a giant fly swatter, it swatted directly at the black figure.

"boom!!"

The thick tree fell heavily to the ground, smashing the black shadow into the ground. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, shook his fist, and then strode over.

"You're really looking for death. Why do you think I can't kill you?"

Although he didn't know why this thing fell to the ground and appeared in front of him, but now that it was here, Duanmu Huai would not let it run away like this.

Soon, Duanmu Huai came to the place where the black figure was thrown just now, but unfortunately, the guy did not seem to be killed by the tree. Although traces and blood stains could be seen on the ground, but the

The black shadow seemed to finally take the opportunity to escape.

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

Looking at the traces in front of him, Duanmuhuai snorted coldly, then continued to follow the traces and entered the depths of the forest.

"Let's go, Suzume, we must find this damn guy."

"Meow!"

While Duanmuhuai was angrily looking for the shadow monster in the forest, Charlie also came to Baskerville Manor with Mary and Ashelika.

"Thank you very much for inviting us to Christmas dinner, Baroness Baskerville."

Although Xia Li can move her body to some extent, she is still unable to walk freely, so this time she traveled in a wheelchair.

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

Facing Charlie, Baroness Baskerville also said with a smile.

"It's just an ordinary Christmas dinner. Please don't be restrained and just feel free to do it."

"Okay... Then it's better to be respectful than obey... Are you the only one?"

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

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

Sure enough, Miss Lorena is here... so that means Mr. Duanmu is also here?

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

"I'm Ashelika Dulles."

"Ah, hello, I'm Lorena, and Miss Mary, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you exercised hard recently?"

While speaking with a smile, Lorena also said hello to everyone. Of course, she did not forget to talk to Mary.

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

Faced with Lorena's greeting, Charlie and Asherika were obviously a little surprised. After all, they had never heard Mary mention Lorena.

"Ah, um... I do know Miss Lorena. It was when Charlie was in a coma, I received some care from her..."

Mary didn't think there was any problem and answered quickly. But...she raised her head and looked around.

"Miss Lorena? Mr. Duanmu, he...?"

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

"knight………?"

"……………grown ups??"

"……………………"

For some reason, Mary felt that the looks from Charlie and Ashelica coming from the side were so piercing... Uh, did she say something wrong?

After a few brief conversations, Baroness Baskerville and Lorena left temporarily. At this time, Charlie and Ashelika surrounded Mary.

"Uh...what's wrong? What happened?"

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

Ashelika folded her arms dissatisfied and stared at Mary. Although Charlie on the other side did not speak, her eyes also revealed the same emotion.

"Ah Xie doesn't know. Do you still know Miss Lorena? She's not a student of Master College, right?"

"I just met her by chance. She is a traveling priest...she said so herself."

"So you met at church?"

"That's not true, she just guided me to do some exercises..."

"exercise???"

"Um……………"

It has to be said that Mary instinctively felt shuddered when she recalled the Spartan exercise guided by Lorena. To be honest, it was definitely not a training that ordinary ladies could complete.

Why is a priest so keen on exercise...

"Then, who is that Lord Knight?"

At this time, Charlie also asked. Although she was not as aggressive as Ashelica, but for some reason, at this moment, Mary only felt that Charlie was more energetic than she was on the altar in the Dark City.

"That's Mr. Duanmu..."

Having said that, Xia Li should have seen Duanmu Huai in Antarctica at that time, but she had completely lost the memory of being at the Tartar Gate at that time, and I am afraid she did not remember it.

"Why did Miss Lorena call him Lord Knight? Could it be that that gentleman is a knight conferred by the Queen?"

"Oh...it doesn't seem to be the case. According to Miss Lorena, Mr. Duanmu seems to be an honorary knight awarded by their church. She is also serving as a priest, so she calls Mr. Duanmu the knight..."

"church?"

I have to say that Charlie and Aselika were both shocked when they heard this. It was unimaginable that the queen had been knighted. They had never heard of knights being knighted by the church.

After hearing this, Aselika's eyes suddenly lit up.

"In other words, that gentleman is a paladin? I haven't seen a real paladin yet. I don't know what kind of person he would be..."

"Well…………………"

Seeing Ashelica's eyes shining in concentration, Mary showed a bit of a wry smile. Indeed, if they have never seen Duanmu Huai, the first impression of the girls will definitely be when they think of the paladin named by the church.

He is the kind of knight who is blond, blue-eyed, divine, handsome, and full of gentlemanly demeanor.

But it’s a pity…………

"Although it's not a good idea to crush your illusions, Asie, I have to remind you that that gentleman must be completely different from what you imagined."

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

And... he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who has the spirit of chivalry at all.

Recalling the way Duanmu Huai smashed the heads of those shadow monsters without mercy, Mary also sighed silently deep in her heart.

A real knight wouldn't do that.

……………Shouldn’t it?

To be honest, Mary herself didn't have much confidence in this.

"Then how did you and that gentleman meet?"

"Huh? This..."

Wow, here we go again!

Seeing Charlie questioning Mary with a smile on her face, Ashelica next to her could not help but stick out her tongue. She had discovered long ago that Charlie would always push forward every step of the way when it came to Mary's male dating issues.

Ashelika still remembered that when the three of them traveled together, she would occasionally meet Mr. Zach, whom Mary knew. At that time, Zach only said a few words to Mary, and then Charlie calmly turned him away.

The topic was chased away.

Although Mary herself didn't seem to notice anything wrong... But Ashelika kept watching. She had long discovered that Charlie didn't seem to like letting boys get close to Mary. Every time a man approached Mary

, Charlie will become a little scary......

But from a certain perspective, Ashelika is not incomprehensible. After all, Mary has never even had her first love, so she must think about it very seriously and seriously. Not just anyone can become Mary.

For lovers, if possible, Ashelika also hopes that Mary can have a happy and happy relationship like herself...

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

Looking at Charlie who was smiling at this moment, Ashelika couldn't help but feel a little scared. Of course she could understand Charlie's thoughts. After all, even Ashelika herself had never heard about Lorena from Mary.

Regarding the matter between the lady and the knight, it means that the two parties should not have known each other for too long. Since even Charlie doesn't know about it, he is probably the man who met Mary when Charlie was in coma... Speaking of which,

Could it be that that man was the "mysterious man" who took the opportunity to play with Mary? If so, Ashay couldn't spare him!

Thinking of this, Ashelika also clenched her fists.

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

At this time, Baroness Baskerville and Lorena also came back again, so a group of people started drinking tea and chatting--Although Baroness Baskerville's name sounds very loud, in fact she is just

For girls who are not yet twenty years old, of course, for ordinary aristocratic ladies, unless they are students studying in master's colleges like Charlie, Mary and Ashelika, they will basically choose to get engaged after entering the social world.

, and then got married early.

This is the case with Baroness Baskerville, so although there is a difference in status between the two parties, the age difference is not too far apart. It is a good banquet for everyone to chat together and talk about the latest popular topics.

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

but………

"Won't Mr. Duanmu come to the banquet?"

With a bit of uneasiness, Baroness Baskerville looked at Lorena and asked, but the latter just showed a wry smile.

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

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door. When he heard the knock on the door, the old housekeeper who was standing by also hurriedly came over.

"Mr. Duanmu must be here, I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, the old housekeeper left the room. Although Charlie and Ashelika were also curious, as ladies, of course they would not run around impolitely. They just sat on the chairs and then heard something coming from outside.

There was a commotion.

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

"Oh, I just came back, and I just thought it was Christmas, so I would like to bring you a gift... How about it? Not bad, right?"

"No, this... please be careful and don't scare the lady and guests..."

"What happened?!"

Hearing this, Ashelika's eyes suddenly shone and she couldn't sit still in her chair. If Charlie and Mary hadn't grabbed her, she would have wanted to run out and have a look.

Fortunately, after a while, the old housekeeper 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, I really bothered him..."

"No, that...how should I put it...please don't panic."

"???"

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

That's right, a white deer!

And it’s still alive!

"This guy is just unlucky and has to block my way."

Duanmu Huai put down the white deer he was carrying on his shoulders. The latter struggled on the ground for a while, and then knelt down timidly. Duanmu Huai was furious when he looked at the white deer in front of him.

Before coming, he followed the bloodstains and traces left by the black figure. He was almost chasing him, but he didn't expect that he might have strayed into the white deer's territory. The latter actually dared to stand in front of him and look for him.

trouble?

Duanmuhuai couldn't bear it anymore.

How can I, a newly learned grappler, endure this injustice?

So facing the white deer that was charging towards him, Duanmu Huai grabbed it and turned it over, knocking him over.

“…………………………………”

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

This deer is very beautiful, all white, even the horns are white, and its body is extremely huge, even bigger than a horse. Because of this, this deer is probably considered a tyrant in the mountains - it's a pity that it

Unlucky enough, he blocked Duanmuhuai's path, and was captured by Duanmuhuai.

If you don't kill it, consider it lucky.

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

Looking at the white deer in front of her, Baroness Baskerville's eyes shone. Girls all like beautiful things, and she was no exception.

“Can I keep it on the property?”

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

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

Hearing this, Ashelika couldn't help shouting. Indeed, the white deer in front of her curled up at Duanmuhuai's feet, squatting on the ground, trembling, and looked very cute...

…

"If this guy hadn't been in the way, I might have caught that pretentious thing... Forget it, that's it for now."

Seeing the looks the girls were looking at him, Duanmu Huai decisively chose to give up. Sure enough, this world is all about appearance. If this thing doesn't look good... Hey, forget it, it's useless to say this now.

The housekeeper had the deer taken away, perhaps because Duanmuhuai had given him a good treatment. The deer looked very well-behaved, even a little pitiful for being so well-behaved, but it was very unpleasant for Duanmuhuai.

.Think about it carefully, in the game you are about to catch up to the final BOSS, and something suddenly appears blocking your way. When you turn around, the final BOSS has already run away. This can really piss you off.
