Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

Since they had only known each other for a short time, why did Aisha bring him back?

There is something fishy going on, but it's not time to be completely at ease.

"It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance, You Ling~"

"Sister, your voice is still shaking. Do you want to rest for a while?"

You have the best ears.

"I'm fine. Aisha, you guys should take a good rest before dinner after sitting on the magic train for such a long time."

"What about sister?"

"Of course I am..."

Alice rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender, white arms.

"I've prepared dinner for you. Look forward to it~"

Alice's plan - some things are easier to ask at the dinner table than to interrogate them when you first meet.

"Ya☆Da☆Ze, I can taste Sister Alice's cooking skills on my first visit."

This Irena was just in the mood for fun and had forgotten the most important goal at all.

The Witch of Trash forgot, but You Ling and Aixia never forgot.

Now that they had gained precious free time before dinner, under Aisha's leadership, everyone could freely enter and leave the Carlos family's mansion.

This includes the study room of the Carlos family’s successive patriarchs, which is likely to contain information about their ancestor Youna.

This is the study room that Alice is currently using.

"Um, is it really okay for anyone to come in?"

Although she had prepared herself mentally in advance, Irena still felt a little bothered by this kind of intrusion into her privacy at the critical moment.

"Don't worry, although my sister has been using it recently, this was my father's study room. I used to play in it when I was a kid."

"Hey, the door is not locked?" You Ling pushed the door open first and walked in: "Then don't blame me. As a "guest", I can treat this open room as something I can visit at will."

The interior is filled with classical decoration style. On the solid wooden desk in the center are placed the documents that Alice is half-processing, and several rows of bookshelves are neatly displayed with a variety of slightly dusty books.

It can be seen that although Alice works in the study, she seldom touches the books on the bookshelf.

Judging from the thin layer of dust, it is probably cleaned only occasionally, but not very frequently.

Aixia touched the summer vacation, then looked at the dust on her fingertips: "Since we are here, let's clean it up."

Irena was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that you, Aisha, would be so diligent at home?"

It is not difficult to tell from Aixia's tidy dormitory that she has a slight obsession with cleanliness.

But it is hard to say whether one is diligent or not.

The elf's eyes flickered, and Aisha drew out a card and summoned it.

"It's decided to be you, the living memory of the feathered spirit."

Can using Duel Elves to help with cleaning really be considered diligent?

"(￣ー￣) It's my mental energy that's being consumed anyway, so what's the big deal?"

The feathered spirit in front was holding a broom and cleaning the bookshelf with gentle steps.

You Ling and the other two at the back were selecting books that might be related to the records of Carlos family ancestors from the cleaned bookshelves.

You Ling looked to the side and scanned the titles of the books again and again.

Postpartum Care of Duel Elves

"On the legality of the 100-year-old Elf Loli"

The Complete Criminal Code

"The head of your Carlos family has learned a lot of different knowledge?" You Ling couldn't help but complain.

"(?Д?)ノStop messing around, Mr. Yu Ling, and look for it seriously."

"I want to be serious, but these books make it impossible for me to be serious!"

"Found it!" Irena exclaimed.

"Irena, did you find anything?"

It was worth bringing her here. It seems that Irena's so-called sensitivity to book records is not just a simple boast of knowledge.

"It's the Family Album! Maybe there are photos of Aisha when she was a child~"

Who brought this garbage here?

"Aren't you interested, Yu Ling? Little Aisha, ah, so cute! Sister Alice was also cute when she was a child~"

"Senior, please be serious too!"

"I'm serious about this." Irena continued to flip through the album. "The so-called 'family album' might contain photos from a long time ago. Who knows?"

"Hmm?" At this moment, You Ling actually felt that what Irena said made some sense, so he also leaned his head over.

In the photo album, in addition to the mini versions of Aisha and Alice when they were little, there are also the parents of the two whom You Ling has never seen before.

It seems that Aisha and Alice's white hair was completely inherited from their mother.

Aisha's father was a typical aristocratic man who was a bit handsome and had a rather ordinary hairstyle.

However, since the two elders are not duelists, there is no need to worry about the issue of the hairstyle of the strong.

Continuing to flip through the album, the photos showed the person who even Aisha had never seen before, the previous head of the Carlos family, Aisha's grandparents, and great-grandparents...

Looking back at the photos of generations engraved with the history of Carlos, although the photos do not have clear names and times marked, it is not difficult to see from the increasingly luxurious clothing that Carlos, as a member of an old family, did have a glorious era.

Aixia said in embarrassment: "Well, I can't tell who is who. I can't confirm who is Youna even if I keep flipping forward like this."

It would be fine if the names were marked next to the albums, but most of these old photos have faded over the years, and it is very difficult to preserve them.

"It won't hurt to take a look. Maybe we can find clues from the photo itself... This is it!"

Before he could even finish his words, a "clue" that shocked You Ling immensely appeared.

I flipped through so many photos, and couldn't count how many generations ago Aisha's great-great-great-grandmother it was.

In the old and blurry photo, only a young girl and the strange jewelry she was wearing appeared unusually clear.

"This is, the Millennium Brick!?" the three said in unison.

In the blurry photo, the clear inverted triangle pyramid is extremely eye-catching and its presence is extremely strong.

You Ling was surprised and asked, "The Carlos family, it turns out that there was a holder of the Millennium Building Block a long time ago?"

Aixia asked: "So this person is our ancestor Youna?"

Irena said: "The photo is not clear..."

Because the photo is so old, and with the yellowing creases from improper storage, the faded areas just cover the girl's face...making the whole picture look even a little weird.

"I don't feel well." Aixia's face suddenly became uncomfortable: "Mr. You Ling, Senior Irena, should we stop staring at this photo?"

Perhaps the strange image of the girl's missing face frightened Aisha, and Irena closed the album in time.

Anyway, even if we could see clearly what the girl looked like, we couldn't be sure if it was our ancestor You Na.

But at least a major discovery was made from the photo album, which is that the Carlos family had a connection with the Millennium Bricks a long time ago.

However, apart from this one clue, everyone searched the study further but found no other useful information.

"Isn't the family tree or something like that placed in the study?"

You Ling confirmed several times, but there was nothing like it.

Aixia said: "Then it seems that I can only ask my sister. Maybe my sister knows where the family tree is."

"Sniff!" Irena's delicate nose twitched a few times: "Do you smell it? I've been smelling the delicious smell of food since just now."

"It looks like my sister's cooking should be done."

Aisha looked at the clock on the wall and estimated that it was time for dinner.

Gu~!

The two girls' stomachs growled at the right time, and the aroma of the food aroused their appetite, and they smiled at each other.

"As the saying goes, you can't fight a war on an empty stomach. Let's eat first, Aisha, Youling."

"I agree, Senior~"

The two of them hit it off immediately, rushed out of the study and ran towards the restaurant downstairs.

As for You Ling, although this body makes efficient use of energy, he rarely feels hungry.

However, after finally regaining a body and being able to eat, You Ling was very willing to taste more delicious food while replenishing his energy.

He was the last one to leave the study. However, when You Ling passed by the solid wooden desk in the center, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Alice working on two documents placed on the desk.

Originally, You Ling should not have looked at these documents, which were considered family privacy, for both moral and logical reasons.

However, one of the documents seemed to be related to "Aisha Carlos", forcing You Ling to pick it up again.

The first document is about the "Investigation Report on the Secret Movements of the Karl Family"

The Karl family is the family currently competing with the Carlos family for the position of Marquis.

The report mentioned that the Carl family, whose hope of being promoted to the position of marquis was becoming increasingly slim, seemed to have united with other families that had previously been dissatisfied with the rise of the Carlos family. They hired powerful dark duelists from the black market and would launch a revenge operation in the near future.

The second document...it's more like an invitation than a document.

《The Saint Varian Empire sincerely invites the Carlos family and the distinguished Rivaldon Royal Knight Aisha Youna Carlos to attend the birthday party of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire》

The time is exactly next week.

Chapter 498: Sister and You Ling 2 in 1

As the sun sets, it has moved deeper into the dim alley, and the light of the pub sign flickers intermittently.

Outside the tavern, there were traces of battles with swords, claws, and artillery fire. There were even a few people who did not look like they were drunk at all, convulsing and foaming at the mouth, and fainted on the ground.

If a normal person sees this kind of scene, let alone going in to drink, they will definitely stay away from this bar that exudes a dangerous atmosphere from head to toe.

However, this pub is filled with unparalleled popularity.

Tobacco, alcohol, and beautiful women.

In stark contrast to the shabby exterior with the lights on the sign about to go out, the interior of the pub is filled with scenes of indulgence and luxury.

And if you observe carefully, you will find that except for the ladies who are responsible for serving drinks and are dressed sexy and cool, basically everyone who consumes in the tavern has Elf Eyes hanging on their arms, and they are all duelists.

However, this group of duelists is very different from the duelists you meet in daily life.

They are dark duelists who live in darkness, walk in darkness, and cannot stand the sunlight.

In other words, this shabby-looking tavern deep in the dim alley is an illegal gathering place for dark duelists.

"Mr. Bryce will pay for all the expenses tonight!"

"Ohhhhhh!"

"Give me a bottle of the best wine!"

"I just love your money, Bryce!"

The tavern, which is usually lively enough, is even more noisy today.

The man who was the biggest customer of the pub today, surrounded by the crowd, was a strong man with a stubble beard. He was lying on the sofa with his arms on the shoulders of the hostess, and he would rub her from time to time.

A well-known and powerful figure in the world of dark duelists, the bounty hunter Bryce.

Leaning in Bryce's arms, the charming hostess handed the wine glass to the man.

"I heard that Lord Blaise received a big order a few days ago, so is that why he is so generous today?"

Another hostess was not to be outdone and came up to him.

"Tell me about it, Lord Blaise. Which noble family is this that wants to secretly eliminate some important person?"

It is an ironic fact that the biggest and main source of income for duelists who live in darkness, walk in darkness, and bow to darkness is those seemingly glamorous nobles.

Become a pawn and a minion, do some shady things for those wealthy nobles, or use dark duels to hunt rare cards and earn a lot of gold coins.
