Hanniel happily took Jess's hand and followed her mother towards the side hall. And the others who followed Jess, besides Alice admiring the surrounding environment, were also trapped in a state of not believing that someone was one of the legendary figures they had long admired. Only three or two followers followed this team, but many people gathered in the corridor and various intersections. There are men and women, old and young, everyone is here to see the charm of the Seven Warriors.
Looking at the crowd around, Jess just felt uncomfortable all over. "Hey! Yanni, why are these people standing in line and looking at me like this? Take me for something," she complained, her eyes scanning around. The unpleasant expression was clearly reflected on Jess's face, but when he saw what he thought was a beautiful woman, that mesmerizing smile was scattered like no money. The response he received was always a flushed face lowered, and seeing this situation, Jess just felt amused in his heart.
"Don't you know? They all appeared to see the Seven Warriors. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in the hallway." As Yan Ni spoke, the two green armored knights wearing gilded cloaks following her showed a wary expression on their faces. Regardless of whether the other party is known to the Countess or not, extra caution must be exercised before ensuring that the other party is harmless.
"Isn't it that they watch the members of the Seven Samurai every day? It's just one more member, and their reaction is just so intense."
Hanniel, holding Jess's hand, felt strange. "Falcon Brother, this is your first time coming to our place. How could we see the Seven Warriors on a regular basis?"
Jess always couldn't resist the cute little girl's questions, especially when the other party invited him to eat, of course he wouldn't curse with a fierce face. He just smiled and approached Hannier, saying, "Miss, don't call me Falcon, that's how people don't know me. Everyone we know calls me Jess, and if you also call me Jess, our relationship will get closer."
"Hmm! Alright, Brother Jess. But you haven't answered my question yet."
The appearance of Hannelle nodding hard made Jess almost look at her as a very cute and delicious roasted Roast squab. Swallowing back the drool that was about to flow out, shaking his head, and pausing for a moment, he said, "Oh! I'm just talking about your mother! She's the 'princess' among the seven warriors you've been circulating."
The second shock hit everyone present, and even Alice couldn't escape this time. The only one who remained calm was the skeleton silently following behind them. And Jess didn't miss such a good opportunity, trying his best to see the reactions of those who heard his words. Even the two knights following Yan Ni opened their mouths wide and stared at the countess walking ahead.
Yan Ni just covered her mouth and smiled lightly, then flicked her hair and said, "Don't mention that ridiculous title anymore. It's just a romantic dream for an innocent twelve year old girl."
"Mother, are you also one of the Seven Samurai?" Hanniel tilted her head to look at a mature woman who had been living together for seven years.
"Yeah! Me too. Are you disappointed?"
Han Nier shook her head. "No! I'm glad."
Jess on one side asked in surprise, "Don't anyone else know?"
Yanni just nodded and said casually, "Yes! No one asked me, so I didn't say anything."
"Don't even know your man?"
"He didn't ask either!"
"Didn't anyone notice?" Jess kept asking Yanni.
Yanni just felt a bit annoyed. "Anyway, it's none of my business. I don't need to do anything, and everyone doesn't know. Are things ready?" Yan Ni led everyone into a small hall with a view of the courtyard.
A row of waiters stood by, with several cups and pastries placed on the long wooden dining table. The expression of Jess's eager to sit down, with his bright eyes, was just amused in Hanniel's eyes. She beckoned Jess to sit in one of the chairs and quickly sat on Jess's lap. Jess's strange expression flashed away. Just as she was about to ask, Hannelle had already forked a small piece of Dim sum and moved it to Jess. "Ah~"
People who don't know how to refuse food won't let go of things that are automatically delivered to their mouths, let alone long-awaited ones. Yanni just smiled and greeted others to take their seats. Watching other people make big and small moves, they are all dumbfounded and don't know what to say at this moment.
"Mmm hmm. Yan Ni... you..."
"It's polite to finish what's in your mouth before speaking."
"Gollum! Ah! Yanni, do you educate children like this?"
"No, maybe she's just learning from others! The relationship between me and my husband is very good."
"Is that a good idea? Ah~" As she spoke, Hanniel stuffed another piece of cake into Jess's mouth.
"Brother Jess, why are you called Jess?" Hanniel asked while feeding Jess.
Jess was busy eating small Dim sum one by one. It was not easy to empty his mouth and said, "That's because I liked eating bird food since I was young. In order to catch birds, I really had to practice shooting birds in the air to satisfy my appetite. Because some birds can't be caught by any means, but they will fly past you. The more I practice, the more accurate I can shoot. That's why my younger companions called me 'Jess'. I've been used to it for a long time."
At this moment, Alice on the side finally spoke. "Brother Jess, why is the Countess the Seven Warriors?"
"Oh!" Jess picked up the milk tea on the table and took a sip before slowly saying, "That originated from a disobedient runaway child!"
"Escape home?" Alice frowned.
Jess looked in the direction of Yanni. "That's the woman sitting over there, looking like a virtuous wife and mother."
"Don't talk nonsense, teach my child bad," Yan Ni protested with dissatisfaction.
Jess just touched Hanniel's head sitting in his arms. "Do you want to hear about Mom's past?"
"Mmm!" Positive voice and action.
Seeing Han Nier's statement, Jess ignored Yu Yanni's protest and just smiled. "Before! There was a disobedient little girl named Yanni. She left her parents, three or four brothers and sisters, and her family name 'Aifang, what?' to travel alone."
"Protest! What's the name of the family called 'Ai Fang'?" Yan Ni tried to make a voice of dissatisfaction again.
"The protest was ineffective. At that time, she, along with the great me and five other followers, gathered together and indulged in debauchery for a while!"
"Who's indulging in debauchery!"
"Otherwise, could you describe our actions at that time?"
Jess felt an inexplicable pleasure as he looked at Yan Ni, who had nothing to refute. He continued, "After defeating Black Sheep, we accompanied her back to 'Platinum City'. She only realized that her family was no longer there."
Speaking of which, Jess and Yanni both fell silent for a moment. Hannier looked at her mother in confusion. "Mother, where have all your family gone?"
"... a place far away that I will never find." Yan Ni's voice grew louder and louder, and everyone who heard her knew that her mood also sank with the tone.
Jess shook his head and drank the milk tea in front of him in one gulp. "Oh! It's delicious. Can we have another drink?" Jess smiled and lifted the cup to Yan Ni, as if trying to divert her sad thoughts to another place. Yan Ni also forced herself to respond with a smile and instructed the people behind her to fill up the drinks for the guests.
"At that time, your mother decided to stay and rebuild the territory left by the family, and I and the other five left," Jess simplified the matter. After thinking for a moment, he asked Yanni, "By the way! Where did your man jump out?"
Yanni frowned and replied, "Don't be so unpleasant! He was at least once a nobleman. He used to be a family of lords in a nearby abandoned small town, with deep ties to my family. Although they also left some members of their clan after the Black Sheep Cataclysm, the city has been completely destroyed. Under the marriage testimony of the elders in his family, he and I have been together, and he has inherited my family name and become an Count. The remaining people in his territory have also settled in the 'Platinum City', and we have focused on building it together. Now that he is in the city, The head of the family."
"Oh! What about him?" Jess asked with a very interested expression.
Yanni placed her index finger on her lips and thought for a moment. "Well, he may not be a good lover, but he is a good man."
"Hey! Can you say something that ordinary people can understand?" Jess deliberately complained.
"I used to speak like this before, how could I understand it then!"
"Hehe!"
"He's actually quite ordinary, maybe a bit boring, but he doesn't have any flaws. It's like a gray narrative poem."
"Hey! 'Grey Narrative Poetry'. Do you also like men like this?"
Yanni only smiled in response to Jess's words. "What's wrong, at least he can stay by my side well."
"What about others? Why don't we invite our old friends to come out and have them appraised?"
"He has some things to attend to and left the city to deal with." After taking a sip of milk tea, he remembered something and put down the cup in his hand, asking, "Is there anything you're doing here?"
Jess was eating a small Dim sum from Hannier's hand. After hearing Yanni's question, he was puzzled at first, then suddenly enlightened. "Oh! We're here for the skull thing."
"Skeleton?" Yanni looked towards the direction pointed by Jess, but the standing skeleton remained silent.
Jess briefly narrated the matter. After listening, Yanni walked towards the skull, looked left and right, and then touched the part of the skull. "Mmm~!" Jess looked at Yanni's every move and asked anxiously, "Is there anything strange?"
"It's not decaying!" Upon hearing Yanni's answer, Jess almost spat out his milk tea. Fortunately, he didn't make that disgusting move for the sake of the person sitting on his lap. Jess picked up a nearby handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "Can it be resurrected?"
"Mmm~Sure!"
"Oh! Really!" Jess excitedly lifted Hanniel aside and walked over to Yanni to look at the skeleton together. "When are you going to start?"
"Mmm~I can't start."
"Wait a moment! This seems different from what you just said."
Yanni ignored Caijie and returned to her seat to sit down. I closed my eyes and took a small sip of milk tea. "Mmm~! Jess, help me run to the 'Ancient Library'!"
Jess felt very strange. "What are you doing at the 'Ancient Library'?"
"From what you said, it should have been dead for a long time. It's not impossible to resurrect someone like this, but the procedures are more complicated. The first thing to do is to 'summon a soul'. Whether it's already in reincarnation or has become a lonely and wild ghost, to resurrect it, it must first summon its original soul. Otherwise, resurrection will only be a walking corpse. Moreover, the most important thing..."
Jess leaned forward slightly and asked, "What?"
"I forgot the resurrection spell."
Jess almost choked Yan Ni to death when he heard her say such a stunning thing with a serious expression. However, currently Jess has a request from others, and he is also unable to take action. He just asked helplessly and intermittently, "So... what exactly... should I do?"
"Help me go to the 'Ancient Library' to borrow books about 'Summoning Souls' and' Resurrection Spells'. Also, it would be helpful to find some information about that skull."
"Oh~! Is that enough, Miss?" Now Jess's expression was very hard to put on, twitching his eyebrows and forced smiling lips. As long as there was an introduction, this once Seven Warriors' powerhouse would definitely explode on the spot.
"Oh! Of course not only. Please help me return the book by the way. Here! This is the library card." Yan Ni took a card from his maid and gave it to Jess. She also took two books from the nearby table and placed them in front of Jess.
"Do you want to fight?" Jess stood up and clenched his fist.
Yanni looked at Jess with a nonchalant expression. "Aren't you proud to say you never hit women? Why is your fist clenched so tightly that it won't hurt?"
Jess brought his face closer to Yanni. "That's because as long as I take it seriously, women are no match. But if it were you, you might not have fought until the end, and I don't even know who is alive."
The knights on the side immediately grasped the hilt of the sword and guarded the Countess when they saw Jess's movements. Yan Ni stopped a group of people who had already started staring at Jess with big eyes. "Hey! If you can't beat him, step back!"
"Madam! Even if it's the opponent's Seven Warriors, we have an obligation to protect your safety."
"Even though I am stronger than you," said the lady, and the knights' faces turned as green as their armor. Yan Ni continued nonchalantly, "Step back! I don't need to take action against this guy yet."
"So confident!" Jess's expression changed to a smile. Relaxed and fully prepared to deal with troublesome opponents.
Yanni also looked at Jess with a similar smile, and she slowly extended a finger. The simple action caught the attention of everyone present, predicting the next situation. The little girls on the side also showed worried expressions, and Yan Ni's beautiful lips were slightly parted. "Do you want to eat the 'Dragon and Phoenix Feast'? With three whole chickens and three green snakes as the main dishes, and various delicacies added, that delicious dish is probably only tasted during the time of the Naxin Imperial Kitchen."
The momentum created by Jess was instantly destroyed in the saliva flowing out, and Yanni continued, "There's no way, who said I used to be spoiled by Sally's craftsmanship. It's right to leave all the affairs to my husband now. I only have a strong opinion on the choice of the chef. Now, this chef's craftsmanship is exquisite and he specializes in making some very luxurious dishes. Really..."
"Beautiful and generous Countess, it would be an honor for me to do something for you. I wonder if you have any other orders to give."
Looking at Jess's greatly transformed expression, Yanni just smiled. "Fighting him with force is the dumbest way! Drowning him with food is the best way, remember in the future." Yan Ni just laughed as she watched the knights' dull expressions. She turned to Jess, who was standing in place with a smile on his face, and said, "Stay here for dinner. I'll instruct the cook to prepare the 'Dragon and Phoenix Dinner'. Let's leave tomorrow without any rush!"
Jess shook his head excitedly. "You can have it today! Kind Countess, you're so kind! Of course we're not in a hurry, anyway it's not a big deal, it's okay to take a break."
"Hehehe!" Yanni turned her back to the crowd and chuckled softly.
Jess lifted his feet, and next to him sat the god of Luo. Behind him sat Alice, Eleanor, and Tiria and Mary who followed Eleanor out. A group of people were driving towards the Ancient Library in a car controlled by Mr. M. Jess is still savoring the food from last night's dinner, it's been a long time since he had such a great dish.
"Hello!" Luo Shen called out to the person sitting next to him.
"..."
"Hello!"
"..."
"Hello! Are you still alive, Jess?"
"..."
"Inertia shaking the tail!" Under the command of Luo Shen, the whole car quickly threw over at 180 degrees. People sitting in the back seat are mentally prepared because of their experience, but in fact, they are still very sad. But Jess still sat steadily in his seat, intoxicated in his own world.
Seeing Jess's calm demeanor, Luo Shen reluctantly leaned his head on the steering wheel and sighed.
"What's going on?" Jess seemed to have regained his senses. He raised his hands and stretched lazily, his bones making a clattering sound.
"The library is here."
"Oh!" Jess jumped out of the car and headed towards the library gate.
The second one to follow is Eleanor. Since learning about Jess's status as a Seven Warrior yesterday, Eleanor has not said a word, but she is more clingy to Jess's back than usual. Tiriya could only obediently follow Eleanor. And Mary moved with Jess just to accompany Tiria.
Their attitudes towards Jess were clearly different, although the parties involved could not prove that they were the Seven Samurai, others could not prove that they were not. Just like Jess himself said, to prove it, it would probably cost his life. And after asking Alice what the Seven Warriors were, Lord Luo seemed to have given up everything about himself and was tightly controlled by Jess, because it was obvious that the other party could not be forced by tough means.
Jess stood in front of the building in front of him and observed. A huge five story building stands in the middle of a vast grassland. Jess just looked up and felt very sour, and he also realized that standing too close couldn't see the full picture of the library clearly.
The open door emits a scent of books. Inside, people dressed as scholars walked back and forth. In addition to books, all you can see in the library are bookshelves, desks, and chairs. I can't see a person who cares about the door at all. Entering the library, there are two rows of large bookshelves directly on either side, and of course, there are piles of books piled up on top.
Jess entered the library and had no idea what to do. Even if asked, he is not interested in the old men or bookworms in the library. He just wandered aimlessly inside the library, but without interest in the book content, he only saw shelves full of books. He doesn't even care if the book title is the same.
Just as Jess was infinitely disappointed, he saw an acquaintance. "Ah! Sheris. Isn't it Sheris?" Jess shouted to his past companions. The gesture and sound of waving hands not only attracted the target's gaze, but also many scholars who were seriously reading and writing around cast unpleasant glances.
Sherice, who could clearly see who was coming, desperately gestured for Jess to be quiet. But unfortunately, I don't know if Jess didn't notice or if he didn't see it. He still spoke in that noisy voice, "Ah~! Sherry, it's been a long time. How have you been lately? Hmm~Where's Ninia? He's not with you anymore?"
Sherry seems to be angry. The clenching of his fist and the excited expression only amused Jess in his eyes. Sherry took out a booklet from his pocket and asked Jess, "Hey~Sherry, what kind of book is this?"
"The first rule of library rules is that no noise is allowed inside the library!"
Upon hearing Sherry's words, Jess only found it amusing. Just as he was about to start sarcastically, he realized that he couldn't make a sound. The closed mouth and increasingly anxious expression all showed his current panic.
He ran towards Sherry in a panic, and the sound of footsteps also made a lot of noise. I only heard Sherry lift up the booklet again and say, "The fifth rule of the library is that running is prohibited inside the library!" Jess's movements instantly slowed down, so slow that the people around couldn't believe it was a man who was once called a falcon.
Sherry nodded and apologized to the scholars reading around him, then slowly walked over to Jess's side. Seeing Jess grabbing his shoulder and slowly pointing at his own mouth, Sherry couldn't help but find it amusing. "Long time no see, Jess." The same greeting was whispered in Sherry's mouth, barely enough for the people around to hear.
"Let's go to the side hall first before we talk," Sherry led the crowd to the lounge where the bookshelves were rarely visible.
Sherry clicked on Jess's head with a booklet, and Jess's movements returned to normal.
"Sound test. One, two, three, four, five, six. Sound test. Hey! What exactly happened just now, Sherry?" Jess looked at his past companion puzzled.
"Now I am the acting director of the 'Ancient Library', and this is the management manual," said Sherry with a smile as he handed out the booklet in his hand
