224 The Strongest Organism (1/2)
The incense wood burned in the incense burner and emitted a faint fragrance.
Apple was a professional Slime Butler. He stood at the side of the incense burner and used his sticky hands to stain some incense ash before putting it into his body.
”Hmm, this incense wood is pretty good. Buy more today,” Apple said to a Gnome servant at the side.
A Succubus servant ran in and shouted to Apple, ”Butler, Butler!”
”Lower your voice! Don't make a big fuss in Lady Lilo's manor. You have to speak softly in all circumstances!”
The Succubus servant was stunned. She knelt down and tried finding his ear.
Before the Succubus servant found his ear, there was a commotion coming from outside.
A group of Devils were at the entrance of the beautiful manor.
Mana-simulated sunshine illuminated the surroundings, and a shield hemisphere engulfed the manor. Apple, who was in a black Tuxedo, shifted his wavy body before the Devils.
”Welcome, Devil Lords, what can I do for you?”
”We're here to look for the Fallen Angel, Miss Lilo.”
”No, you're not. I'm looking for Miss Lilo.”
”Don't argue. Miss Lilo will only meet me.”
The group of Devils began arguing and almost started fighting.
Apple was about to break up the commotion when the cantering of horses was heard.
The cantering of the horses pervaded the manor as the carriage rang with the crisp tolling of bells. The carriage had the grandiose and complexity of the Rococo style. The black appearance of the carriage had the Gothic darkness and decadence.
Four strong black Hades Horses were pulling a black pumpkin carriage.
Apple left the Devils and hurried over to the carriage.
Apple wore his white gloves and opened the doors of the strange-looking carriage.
A silver stiletto stepped on a metal ledge by the carriage door. The tall and sharp stiletto emitted a thud sound as a pair of fair-skinned and slender legs, which were covered with white swan stockings, were seen coming out before a thick black Victorian skirt covered them.
The porcelain face was framed by golden hair rolls, which were covered partially by a slanted black round hat.
On the round hat was a black floral accessory that covered the slanted side.
A pair of large black wings were folded behind her back as she walked down the carriage.
A Succubus servant went forward to the carriage as three Hamsters ran down the carriage and followed behind Lilo.
”Miss Lilo, I'm the Baron of the Merchant Alliance…”
A Devil walked politely forward, but before he finished speaking, Lilo had entered the manor without turning her head.
The Devils at the side wanted to strike up a conversation, but nobody was able to speak because the Fallen Angel's dominant aura made them unable to breathe.
When Lilo walked into the manor, they were finally able to recover.
”Misters, our Lady has no intention to meet all of you. Please go back.”
After Apple finished speaking, he let the Gnome at his side shut the metal gate of the manor.
The Devils looked at each other, but they were too shocked to say anything.
More and more Devils who heard of the Fallen Angel made their way in a continuous stream to the manor…

AgedWhiteGin Teahouse was located at a crossing of the Commerce Area in Winterfell.
For the Underworld inhabitants, drinking tea was an essential past time.
”Drink the most aromatic tea, Ride the strongest Beetlemon.” Underneath AgedWhiteGin's shop sign were these bold words.
Sherlock, who was in black ceremonial clothing, walked to the entrance of the teahouse and heard the rowdy noises coming from inside.
Sherlock adjusted his dome-shaped Western hat and pushed open the door.
