278 Family Quests
"Slavery naturally..." The man was stunned, "This is against the entire magical community... How did Flynn teach her? How could he do..."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, this has nothing to do with Flinda! She has been trying to lead Blanche back to the right path, but the little girl's stubborn personality is printed on the same mold as her. In the end, she ran away in anger and refused to bow her head! Flinda originally thought that she was desperate and would return to the mage tower if she couldn't continue to live, but there was no news yet... Only the magical blood lamp in the sea of pine forests can prove that she is still alive..."
"Damn..." The man grabbed the collar uneasy, as if he was a little breathless, "Please tell me where she finally appeared, and I will send someone to investigate! After all, I am also an envoy representing the king. Even if I arrest everyone for interrogation, I will find her whereabouts as soon as possible."
After a while, the human figure in the brazier turned into thick smoke and dissipated.
Far away in Jumo City, in a room in the Lord's Castle, Maritime Minister Steve summoned many people overnight and arranged a secret mission. Most of these people were family warriors loyal to the Hesel family, but Steve gave each of them a token of the royal mission so that they could do things cheaply.

The next morning, at the entrance of the Sand Arena.
Viscount Helen Tozel personally carried a tray made of precious mahogany and delivered it to the mysterious girl in a cloak. She lifted the covered cloth in a corner so that she could see the few things on it.
"You won ten consecutive games on the first day of yesterday, and my strength convinced me." Viscount Helen's voice was extremely respectful and said in a low voice, "This is the equipment I sent to collect and send Jumo City overnight. A top-quality staff made of pear wood, a high-purity crystal ball that can store a large amount of magic, and some magic recovery potions, are all very high-quality, and the combined value is close to the 4,000-kind tower! It is already the limit of the current financial resources of the Tozell family!"
"Please accept them. With them, you will be more wings today and you will be more confident in fighting!"
Blanche pulled up a little hood in confusion and looked straight into the middle-aged man in the dark circles: "Why do you want to help me at all costs?"
"The Tozeel family will always be your vassal! If you win the first place in this competition, you will almost be destined to become a sub-legacy in the future, and the Tozeel family can also benefit from the rich and re-glorious!" Viscount Helen did not hide his purpose, and his expression could not hide his excitement.
"But what if I lose?" Blanche asked again, "What if I fail to win the first place, or even enter the top eight? Wouldn't you lose all your money?"
"That's okay, it's only a matter of time before you become a strong man, not a matter of being able or not, I have no doubt about this." Viscount Helen's face was full of confidence.
"Okay...I'll accept it." Blanche finally nodded.
The gray-haired girl quickly took several exquisite equipment in her hand, felt it secretly, and found that it was indeed of high quality. Then she nodded to Viscount, rebuilt her cloak and hood, and walked into the arena from the contestant's passage.
But when her back disappeared, Helen Tozel did not immediately walk to the VIP area.
A man dressed in a house servant came over and whispered in his ear.
"All the evidence is erased? That's good..." Viscount breathed a sigh of relief, and a gloomy look appeared on his face. "Eugene was silly this time! When you go back, you must remind others that you must act in a low-key manner during this period. The old woman from the Holy See stayed in Jumo City. I don't want to cause trouble."
The servant quickly left with respect.
Viscount Helen took a deep breath, the haze on his face disappeared, he changed into a flattering smile again, and strode towards the VIP area stands.

Far south of the Kingdom of Carl, in a dilapidated cottage built among poisonous marshes and the woods, a blue-eyed girl with many patches on her clothes and pants was concentrating on sewing her shoes.
The cottage has been disrepaired and the windows are broken and exposed to wind.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened with a bang and more dust blew in!
The girl quickly blocked the wind and sand with the back of her hands and looked at the door through her fingers.
"Mum Jenny? Why are you here?" When she saw clearly, there was an obese old woman dressed in a palace nun standing at the door. The girl immediately stood up in surprise, put down the needlework in her hand, and rushed over like a milk swallow returning to the nest, burying her little head directly into the other party's surging arms!
"Haha, my good child." The old woman kindly stroked the girl's hair, "I came from the city and came to see you. I also brought you your favorite lard pastry."
The old woman said as she took out a shiny paper bag, tied it in dark red twine, and handed it to the girl.
"Ah!" The girl was overjoyed and took it with her hands tremblingly, but she didn't want to take it apart. Instead, she tiptoed to put it on the top of the old storage rack next to her. When she withdrew her hand, she put her fingers with a little oil in her mouth and sucked reluctantly, revealing a hint of happiness.
"Why not eat one?" the old woman suggested.
"Let's eat it later. I'll be satisfied if I taste some oil fragrance today."
Seeing this, the fat old woman hugged her tightly with some distress: "Poor child, you must have a hard life here."
"It's okay." The girl was very sensible. She murmured while enjoying the old woman's touch, "The family's medicine garden here always needs someone to take care of, and I will definitely complete the tasks given to me by the family. In recent years, the herbs have grown very well, and I have also captured the pests regularly."
"No, silly kid, you can rest." The old woman shook her body gently, like shaking the baby's cradle, and even hummed a song, "Someone will come to take over your job, you don't have to worry anymore..."
"Really..." The girl's voice in her arms gradually weakened.
After that, there was no sound, as if I was asleep.
However, if you look down, you will find that her eyes are still wide open. A thick white film appears in her blue eyes like a lake. Two lines of bright red blood flow slowly from her nostrils. Her body is stiff, her hands and feet are cold, and she has no breath at all.
"Jane, I watched you grow up. You have always been an obedient child. You have completed the family tasks very well. Viscount Tozel is also very satisfied with you." The fat woman still shook her body, "So he gave you a more important task, that is, to give your identity to another person, a person who is particularly important to the family."
"The dead will not reveal secrets, so you can sleep here forever. With these herbs you have taken care of for many years, you won't be too lonely..."
"In that far away, there is a sea of flowers..."
The old woman finished humming a song, then slowly lowered the girl named Jane Tozel to the ground, sighed, and got up and left the shabby wooded cottage.
The pack of shiny lard pastry was still placed quietly on the tallest rack.
