Monster [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 73 Octopus

Daisy's face was full of bewilderment, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Yuxiu had already run away with the wind like a butterfly.

"Master!" The helpless Daisy had no choice but to follow up with her skirt, "Master, wait for me!"

Yuxiu couldn't wait a long time ago, and ran into the garden under Daisy's reminder.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Holmes who was patrolling as soon as he entered.

Holmes reached out his hand to block Yuxiu's way, he still looked like a fool, but spoke in a serious tone: "Young master, did you go to the wrong place?"

"No, I didn't go to the wrong place." Yuxiu suppressed the anxiety between her brows and said calmly, "I want to see that big octopus."

Hearing this, Holmes shook his head and refused without thinking, "No."

"Please, Lord Holmes." Yuxiu said, "I just want to confirm one thing."

"what's up?"

"I want to make sure that the thing that attacked Cousin Leo last night was the big octopus."

"Oh young master, if you are really curious about that matter, I can tell you the answer now." Holmes looked down at Yuxiu, raised his index finger and said in an unquestionable tone, "Yesterday That big octopus attacked Leo that night, and although I haven't found out why it attacked Leo, I'm sure it was the culprit."

Yuxiu suddenly remembered what the queen said not long ago that she wanted to kill the big octopus, her eyelids twitched, and her nerves tensed up: "Master Holmes, if this is the case, then how do you plan to deal with that big octopus? "

"I don't know." Holmes rubbed his forehead, showing a headache expression, "The king and queen ordered me to get rid of that big octopus as soon as possible, but you also saw that we have nothing to do with that big octopus." Way, unless you try to move to the fort again, but Leo is still lying on the bed, he wants to save the big octopus for your wedding ceremony, so I don't know whether to listen to the king and queen or wait until Leo Let's think about it in the long run when it gets better."

Holmes grew more and more annoyed.

He really regretted it. He should have insisted on preventing Leo from bringing that big octopus back. They were mere human beings. How could they have such great power to control the life and death of marine life?

If it weren't for that damned vanity, they wouldn't have made such a fuss.

Holmes took a deep breath, trying not to show his bad side in front of this ignorant young master. He asked, "Master, what about you? Do you support the idea of ​​the king and queen or Leo's idea?"

Yuxiu shook her head: "I don't know either."

Now he wasn't sure if Jiang Enlin had turned into that big octopus.

If not, it would be better to do it according to the king and queen's ideas, but if it is...

He thought he should find a way to take Jiang Enlin out of here as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, Yuxiu changed the topic back: "Master Holmes, I still want to go and see that big octopus first."

It's a pity that Holmes still shook his head and refused without thinking, and even raised his hand to call for several soldiers waiting behind him.

"Young master, don't blame me for not agreeing to your request. I also have my own considerations. The first is that I can't put you in danger. The second is that Leo specifically ordered me not to let you get close to that big octopus. It's so hot , you'd better go back and rest." After Holmes finished speaking, he turned to the soldiers and said, "Send the young master back."

Those soldiers responded in unison: "Yes."

So Yuxiu was brought back to the room by those soldiers. The soldiers on the way were afraid that he would run away, so they immediately surrounded him, and even Daisy could only follow behind.

Yuxiu returned to his new room.

He stood at the window and looked out. Because a big tree was planted outside the window, the dense canopy covered the Alice Fountain not far away. He could only see a corner of the Alice Fountain and the sudden increase of patrolling soldiers in the garden.

Yuxiu looked at the corner of Alice's fountain, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and walked out.

Daisy was making tea for Yuxiu at the table, she was still holding the teapot in her hand, when she saw Yuxiu rushing out of the room, the bewilderment on her face never disappeared: "Master, where are you going?"

"You are busy with your work, don't worry about me." Yuxiu quickly finished speaking, and then ran back to his previous room.

He walked to the window, and sure enough, he saw a looming red shadow in the Alice Fountain.

The big octopus neither sank to the bottom nor floated on the surface of the water, it seemed to be floating with the water very boringly, only the soft and spread out tentacles popped up on the surface of the water from time to time.

Did it really go back?

And he stayed in the Alice Fountain honestly.

However, the soldiers guarding the Alice Fountain are obviously more afraid of it than before. Not only are they fully armed, but they are also much more vigilant than before.

Originally, Yuxiu was still a little hesitant to take such a risk, but after seeing the red shadow in the fountain pool, he instantly strengthened his determination.

He cleared his throat, raised his voice and asked the soldiers below, "Is Lord Holmes there?"

As soon as the words came out, the soldiers immediately looked up.

At the same time, the big octopus that was hiding in the water was also moving. It was even faster than the soldiers. Before the soldiers raised their heads, it had already burst out of the water.

The big octopus showed half of its red head on the water surface, its black and white eyes stared at Yuxiu without blinking.

Even though its eight tentacles are all hidden in the water, Yuxiu can see clearly through the shadow reflected on the water surface—the eight tentacles are dancing wildly, dancing with great joy.

Soon, a soldier's answer brought back Yuxiu's thoughts: "Young master, Master Holmes is still on patrol, and he won't be going this way for a while."

Yuxiu snorted and smiled: "Thank you."

The soldier asked, "Do you have any business with Lord Holmes?"

"It's okay." Yuxiu waved her hand, "I'm just asking casually."

After finishing speaking, Yuxiu didn't speak any more, and the soldiers continued to focus on guarding the big octopus.

Yuxiu didn't really want to find Holmes, but just wanted to make some noise to attract the attention of that big octopus.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

The big octopus attracted all his attention, and it was frozen in the Alice Fountain like a sculpture.

It seems to like looking at Yuxiu like this, even if it sees Yuxiu grow old, it doesn't feel tired.

But Yuxiu couldn't stand it after being watched by it for a few minutes.

There is no other reason, just because the feeling of being stared at by an octopus is too weird. Thinking that the big octopus might be Jiang Enlin, the weirdness is mixed with a bit of ambivalence.

He thought he could accept Jiang Enlin's transformation into any form, but the premise was that those changes were within the scope of human beings.

Why is it cross-species now?

It's too much to be a big octopus!

Yuxiu sighed secretly, regained consciousness and noticed that the big octopus actually swam silently to the edge of the fountain pool while he was not paying attention, and protruded two tentacles from the water to cling tightly to the rocks on the edge.

Yuxiu hooked her fingers to it.

The big octopus became visibly excited, jumped out of the water with a bang, and made a gesture to crawl out of the fountain pool.

Seeing this, the guarding soldiers panicked immediately, gathered together and pointed their swords at the big octopus.

One of the soldiers shouted, "Go to Lord Holmes!"

"Okay!" The soldier next to him ran away in an instant.

The rest of the soldiers were driven back by the giant octopus that climbed out of the fountain.

"Damn it, go back, or we will be impolite."

"We put you back in the fountain!"

"What's going on? Wasn't it fine just now? Was it suddenly stimulated by something?"

Yuxiu who stimulated the big octopus was also flustered, he didn't expect the big octopus to understand what he meant immediately, but he absolutely couldn't let the big octopus climb up.

There were many rumors among the soldiers that the big octopus liked him. If they knew that the big octopus could understand his gestures, they might cause unnecessary trouble.

Yuxiu's face turned pale, she quickly waved her hand to the big octopus, and exaggeratedly said, "Go back, go back."

After saying it twice, the big octopus stopped.

It seemed to be stunned for a while, then turned around and returned to the Alice Fountain. It poked out half of its head at the edge of the fountain, and looked at Yuxiu without blinking as before.

Yuxiu and the big octopus looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't hold back a burst of laughter.

After laughing, he shook his head helplessly.

He thought about it, even if Jiang Enlin turned into a big octopus, it's okay, at least Jiang Enlin still likes him wholeheartedly, that's enough.

At the same time, the soldiers below also breathed a sigh of relief, wondering why the big octopus suddenly returned to the fountain pool?Obviously they yelled so loudly just now but failed to drive it back.

The soldiers thought for a long time but couldn't think of a reason, so they simply gave up.

They are human, how can they guess what an octopus thinks?

In order not to be suspected by Holmes and the soldiers, Yuxiu suppressed the desire to look at that big octopus that came up from time to time.

Although it is now the beginning of autumn, the weather outside is still unbearably hot, and if you go out for a while, you will sweat all over your body.

Yuxiu didn't want to go out to bask in the sun, and she had nothing to do in the room, so she asked Daisy to bring the maps of the castle and the entire Uca County, and concentrate on studying the escape route.

In the afternoon, Daisy suddenly brought a message.

She found a few more people with the characteristics that Yuxiu said, and also inquired about the recent itineraries of those people, if Yuxiu wanted to meet those people, she could help arrange it.

In fact, like Yuxiu, most of the nobles living in the castle have nothing serious to do all day long, and they will hold various large and small banquets whenever they have time.

And the tea party is held the most. There is no threshold for that kind of small banquet, and anyone with any status can participate.

Of course, Yuxiu bears the title of Prince Leo's fiancé, no matter which banquet he attends, he is always a guest.

Yuxiu wanted to forget it at first, but on second thought, he had nothing to do all day long, so it's better to do both, trying to contact the big octopus while continuing to search in the castle.
