Chapter 177 Visitors from Another World
Chapter 177 Visitors from Another World
On the second floor of Cuiliu Lane, the study was quiet.
At the desk, the blonde girl was concentrating on writing a letter. The pen in her hand moved slowly on the paper, making a slight rustling sound.
But she seemed to be easily distracted today. Every time she wrote for a while, she would stop and look at the sky outside the window.
When she finally finished writing the two letters home, she lit a candle, picked up the wax spoon, put in the wax block, and burned it slowly and patiently.
The bright red sealing wax slowly melted under the candlelight and was poured onto the seal of the envelope. The girl then picked up the seal and pressed it accurately. After pressing hard for a few seconds, Lilith picked up the seal and smiled with satisfaction when she saw the clear pattern on the sealing wax.
In the past, she would just use sealing wax to seal it casually, but now she has her own sealing wax seal. The vines covered with shelley fruits carefully coil around the words "Shelley Wine Industry", which looks fresh and delicate. This is the new trademark that Lilith has set for her own business.
After she sealed both letters and stood at the window to watch the sunset for a while, she finally turned her head to look at the huge thing in the room that she had been deliberately ignoring, and muttered softly -
"Is it still not possible? It's almost dark now."
Lilith recalled her afternoon conversation with Mr. Grantham.
……
"It seems like a shy guy, doesn't it, Miss Lilith?" Mr. Grantham looked at the gargoyle with admiration.
"I don't remember seeing this thing in the textbook, sir." Lilith walked into the cell and took a closer look at the motionless giant.
"I asked this question to my teacher when I was in school." Grantham smiled and mentioned the things he was interested in. "It's not that the professors who compiled the textbooks made a mistake, but... our textbooks record the native organisms of this continent."
"...What do you mean?" Lilith's brain was almost running out.
"These are not ordinary magical creatures, Lilith. It is completely appropriate for us to call them heroes. They participated in the holy war throughout the entire process and made outstanding contributions." Grantham's tone was full of respect.
"Gargoyles are nocturnal magical creatures. They patrol the battlefield at night, giving the warriors time to breathe. They turn into stone and stand still during the day. Therefore, they were once revered as night-wandering gods, not the stone demons that the Church of Light refers to today! A few unofficial historical records also say that they have very gentle personalities and do not like to fight."
"However, after the holy war, their mission seemed to have been completed. No one has ever seen active gargoyles again, so much so that many historical schools have expressed doubts about whether they really existed."
Lilith blinked when she heard that.
"Oh, I've gone off topic, haven't I? Sorry, I always do that." Mr. Grantham smiled apologetically, "There is no knowledge about gargoyles in the books because rigorous teachers have discovered that records about it have only appeared since the Holy War."
"So, a large number of scholars believe that they may not be creatures from this world. Perhaps they followed the void beasts into the world through the same crack. Therefore, as visitors from another world, they are not suitable to be recorded as magical creatures in textbooks."
"A visitor from another world..." Lilith turned her back to Grantham, her blue eyes trembling, and her heart seemed to be poured with a barrel of wine, shaking constantly. Lilith quickly leaned on the gargoyle to relieve the sudden dizziness.
Is this why you chose me? Lilith looked at the silent stone statue in front of her.
Because we are all visitors from another world...
"Click."
With a slight sound, Lilith finally came back to her senses from her memories of the afternoon.
That was the sound of a wooden stake rubbing against the floor. She looked up and saw the familiar red mailbox held in front of her. She had added a smiley face to the pink sign that read "Lilithbella's House" at the bottom, and it was now facing her.
—It moved! Lilith took a deep breath.
It seemed that because Lilith did not react, the sharp black claw holding the mailbox stretched forward and was about to hit her face.
Lilith quickly took a step back and looked at the guy behind the mailbox.
It was still sitting there without moving, just stretching out its arms. Before, it was curled up and couldn't be seen clearly. Only now did Lilith realize that its arms were incredibly long. It stretched the mailbox so far, and its body still maintained the previous crouching posture without moving.
"...Are you going to give this to me?" Lilith took a breath and tried to communicate with it.
"Gurgle..." A dull sound came from its throat, as if a stone was rolling in it a few times, and then it stretched out its claws again.
Lilith quickly took the mailbox, and then stretched out its long nails and stabbed her face!
The gargoyle finally got rid of the heavy baggage and slowly withdrew its hand, returning to the position in Lilith's memory.
"You..." Lilith unconsciously held the mailbox in front of her as a defensive gear, looking at the guy in front of her with an indescribable expression.
"So you broke it, right?" Lilith finally figured out that the neighbor she had never met was the one who took the blame.
"Gulu..." The gargoyle buried its head even lower.
"It seems that you can understand what people say..." Lilith began to pace around the gargoyle. When she walked behind it, she couldn't help but pull its wings out of curiosity. The gargoyle cooperated and spread its wings. The huge bat wings instantly took up most of the space in the study.
Lilith quickly patted it and asked it to retract.
"Do you bite?" Lilith went back to the front.
The gargoyle shook his head honestly.
"Eat something?"
The gargoyle shook his head again.
"Then don't excrete..."
The gargoyle blinked.
"Dismantling the house? Oh, it looks like it!" She was holding her own mailbox in her hand!
"Never again!" She banged the mailbox on the floor.
"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle." The gargoyle nodded repeatedly and made a long series of gurgling sounds.
Lilith looked at the huge creature in front of her, which was curled up in a ball and looked honest and simple. She should be afraid of it because of its size, but seeing it like this, she always felt that it was like a docile big stone dog.
Lilith recalled the appearance of the ideal pet she had wished for at the Red Maple Leaf Tavern, and could not help but let out a weird laugh.
Who would have thought that after going around in circles, I would actually find it for her?
She is really lucky!
……
"You said this thing is extremely rare, a holy war hero from thousands of years ago?!"
Inside the Rose Building, Lucas's face twisted and he pointed at the big guy in front of him with shaking fingers.
"It is said that this is the case." Lilith kept some of the pecans she had picked up in the Aver Valley and stuffed them into the gargoyle's hands. It crushed the nuts silently and then handed the kernels to Lilith.
"...Then is it very valuable?" Lucas was shaky and felt like it was about to break.
