Chapter 374: Calling the Master for Support

Wollibear thought that Catherine was going to play there again, but she didn't.

She asked the coachman about a place called Shebir Manor and asked him to take her there.

As a result, the coachman drove the carriage directly out of the city and headed for the southern suburbs.

At an unknown narrow pass, he put Catherine down and said that they had arrived.

But Catherine looked around and saw nothing around, so she asked in confusion: "Where is the manor?"

"Sir, this is private territory, and public carriages are not allowed to enter.

So I can only take you here, and you need to walk the rest of the way by yourself.

You just need to go straight along this path and you will see the manor." The coachman replied.

Then, the coachman asked again: "There are no carriages around here, do you need me to wait for you here?"

Catherine looked around and found that this place was indeed very remote, so she asked the coachman to find an open place on the side of the road to wait for her.

After paying some deposits, she walked forward by herself.

Volibear was a little confused about Catherine's thoughts, so he asked, "Why are you here?"

Catherine pursed her lips and said, "This is the home of Simmons who was trapped in the secret room. He said he left a diary.

Let someone who can understand his code help him take out the notes and make them public. He said the truth inside is related to everyone.

I am very curious about the truth, so I came to see it."

"I see! Did he say where the notes were placed?"

"Yes, he said he felt something was going to happen, so he hid it in a grid on the top floor of the pigeon house."

...

While the two were talking, Catherine passed through the pass unknowingly.

Suddenly, a small valley appeared in front of her. There was a large lush forest in the valley, and in front of the forest was a small crescent-shaped lake.

Along the side of the long arc of the crescent lake, there were dozens of wooden houses of different sizes, but all very exquisite.

Catherine stood at the pass, looked around, and finally locked on the bullet-shaped building on the far right.

Generally speaking, pigeon houses look like this.

Although there were no pigeons flying there, Catherine was still sure that was the place she was looking for.

Just as she was about to sneak in, Volibear suddenly shouted: "Stop, then pretend to take the wrong road, turn around and leave as if nothing happened."

"What happened?" Catherine asked puzzledly.

"Don't ask!" Volibear shouted anxiously: "Hurry up and do what I say."

Although Catherine didn't know what happened, she still did it obediently when she saw Volibear's nervous tone.

But when she turned around to leave, she suddenly found that a woman had been standing behind her.

Catherine was startled by the sudden appearance of the woman and took a step back.

When she saw the woman's appearance clearly, her eyes were about to pop out.

"You..."

Catherine pointed at the woman with one hand, and was so scared that she couldn't even speak.

The woman looked at the big man in front of her with a smile on her face and asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Catherine didn't answer, but stared at the woman's face carefully, stunned.

Seeing Catherine in a daze, Volibear was anxious and quickly telepathically said, "Don't be in a daze, this woman is not Miss Sofia."

That's right, the reason why Catherine's eyes were about to pop out was because the woman in front of her looked exactly like Sofia.

But how could Sofia appear here?

"If she is not Sofia, then who is she?"

Seeing that Catherine still had time to ask questions, Volibear was so anxious that he was about to get angry: "Don't ask yet, answer quickly, make things round first, don't reveal any flaws."

"Oh! Oh!"

Catherine responded in her heart, then took a deep breath and said to the woman, "Is this the Shebisel Manor? I am here to deliver a letter on the orders of the master."

"Shebisel?" The woman was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what happened.

So she replied, "No, you found the wrong place?"

"Wrong place?" Catherine frowned, "How could you find the wrong place?"

As she spoke, Catherine pointed to the public carriage parked on the roadside not far away, and then said, "The driver clearly said that this is Shebisel Manor, and I confirmed it several times."

The woman had seen the public carriage a long time ago, and after hearing the big man's foreign accent, she probably guessed that the man was deceived by the driver.

In order to make money, the current driver dares to do anything, such as taking a long detour, or pretending to mishear the place name and deliberately taking people to other places.

And the main target is these outsiders.

After understanding everything, the woman said, "This is Shebir Manor, not Shebisel. Do you understand what I mean?"

Catherine opened her eyes wide when she heard it, and then turned to look at the driver not far away, with an angry expression on her face.

However, she immediately closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if to calm down.

Then she slowly opened her eyes and sighed heavily.

In just a short moment, a few facial expressions and movements fully expressed the shock, anger, and helplessness of a foreigner after knowing that he was cheated.

Catherine felt that she had acted enough, and tried to force a smile, and said to the woman: "I'm sorry to bother you, I'll leave now."

The woman nodded: "Please feel free!"

Catherine apologized to the woman again, and then walked towards the public carriage angrily.

The woman looked at the big man's back, shook her head with disgust, and murmured to herself: "Dirty human!"

Then she turned and walked towards the manor, but halfway through, she frowned and turned back to stare.

Catherine felt that the eyes that had been staring at her had finally withdrawn, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the cold feeling came again.

She could only pretend to be calm and walked towards the coachman as if nothing had happened.

"Sir, you finished the business so quickly? Now you have to..."

As soon as Catherine came back, the coachman immediately came forward to greet her.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Catherine: "Shut up, take me back to the city."

After that, Catherine got on the carriage angrily.

The coachman didn't know where he offended the guest, and he was given a cold face for nothing.

However, he didn't care. People in their line of work have seen all kinds of people.

People who shit in the carriage, crazy about love,... In short, there are all kinds of people in this world.

The service industry is like this. If you want to make money, you have to be able to bear it.

Therefore, no matter what the reason, he bowed his head and apologized first, then sat on the driver's seat and slowly started the carriage.

When the woman saw the driver bowed his head and apologized, the doubts on her face disappeared, and then she walked towards the manor peacefully.

After the car started, Catherine hurriedly asked: "What happened? Why are you so anxious? And who is that woman?"

After three questions in a row, Volibear didn't know which one to answer, so he simply didn't answer any of them.

"Don't ask first, you quickly notify the master to come here!"

"Ah... Master? What happened?"

"This may be the nest of the [Fraudster]!"

"Ah..."

...
