Early the next morning, Mist and Soren arrived outside the marshal's villa in their aircraft.
"Let me tell you in advance." Mist held up the frame of his glasses and curled up the corner of his mouth with an unquestionable look, "I don't have a problem with you wanting to come and see the new butler, but you'll have to continue to deal with those documents left at the base headquarters when you get back."
"Hm."
Soren glanced at his brother, acquiescing that the work that should have belonged to the other party fell on his head.
More than these trivial matters, Soren wanted to observe with his own eyes whether the new butler really liked it here as Mist had said.
The marshal's villa was decorated in a bizarre style and was situated at the top of a deserted and unpopulated mountain. When those butlers first came here, they didn't even dare to enter the front door of the villa.
Mist lowered his head and sent a message to Ya Xiao that he was at the door. He casually said, "I kept my eyes on the optical brain yesterday. I didn't even sleep much for fear that I would miss the message from the new butler asking for help."
Soren glanced towards the side and then heard Mist say emotionally, "As a result, there was not a single message on the optical brain."
The previous few butlers had sent him messages asking for help. It wasn't that those butlers were too timid. After all, this was a dangerous border base. The butlers had always lived in the safety of the central city, so it was normal for them to feel fearful when they first arrived and lived alone on a desolate and remote mountaintop.
But this new butler was different.
Mist recalled the young man's slender and thin figure. He couldn't really see that the other party was actually so bold.
Just as he was thinking, the door of the villa suddenly opened.
The young man wearing a black tuxedo walked out from inside. He wore white gloves, his back was straight, and it seemed that he was in a good mood. The young man's eyebrows and eyes were overflowing with smiles, and his silver ear studs made his entire body look a lot brighter.
Mist and Soren looked at each other.
It seemed like the new butler should have slept well last night.
This was good news for them.
At least the new butler wouldn't offer to resign because of this villa.
Ya Xiao was not sure what the two adjutants were thinking. If he knew, he would seriously tell the two that yesterday was one of the best nights he had slept in this world.
After all, the villa was so cozy and beautiful.
"Good morning, two adjutants."
The pale, delicate young man said with an arched brow.
Soren nodded and returned the words good morning, while Mist greeted warmly, "Ya Xiao, have you eaten in the morning? I don't know if the food made by the nanny robot is to your liking."
The marshal rarely ate on weekdays, living on nutritional supplements, but most people still had normal meals.
"I made myself some random stuff."
Thinking of the skeleton omelette in the morning, Ya Xiao mentally complimented himself. There were some differences between demon and human recipes, and Ya Xiao felt that his was much tastier.

Mist was more or less surprised by the fact that Ya Xiao could cook.
"I know a little bit."
Ya Xiao humbly said, "Next time I have a chance, I'll make some treats for you to try."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Mist quite appreciated the new butler's personality. He was cheerful and sunny, easy to approach, and very likeable.
After chatting, Mist let Soren go to drive the car, while he himself pulled Ya Xiao to introduce the banquet, "This time, it's a wedding banquet for the Fourth Base's transportation officer, Aibo, and our base's dispatching officer, Nayes."
"The Fourth Base will also be sending people over."
Mist said, changing the topic. The corner of his mouth curved, but there was not a smile in his eyes, "They should all be very curious about your existence, Ya Xiao."
"Oh." Ya Xiao thought of something. He paused for a moment, purposely emphasizing to the villain's adjutant, "I'm just an ordinary human, nothing special. It should be disappointing to them."
Butoh was an ordinary human.
[Ya Xiao], who replaced [Butoh]'s identity, should also be a weak human with no force and in need of protection.
Mist didn't realize the deeper meaning hidden in those words and thought that Ya Xiao was just echoing what he had just said. He joked rather lightheartedly, "Ya Xiao, you've got more guts than most ordinary humans. They won't be disappointed."
"I hope so."
Ya Xiao curved his eyes.
As the hovercar sped forward, Ya Xiao slightly tilted his head sideways, as if he were observing the surrounding scenery, but in reality, he was thinking about the upcoming riot at the banquet.
In the plot, Butoh was seriously injured at the banquet, and the villain almost didn't make it to the spring meeting because of his butler's delayed healing.
Ya Xiao wasn't quite sure what exactly the spring meeting was going to be about, which, as he understood it, meant that the marshals of the seven bases would travel to the central city to discuss matters.
The taboos were the heroes of Blue Star.
But the taboo that could easily get out of control was equally feared by ordinary people.
As long as they were judged to be high-risk taboos, even the top leaders of the bases who wanted to enter the central city needed to undergo professional testing and be accompanied by a professional butler who had been with them for more than three months.
After Butoh was injured, the villain who was a high-risk taboo bearer had a hard time finding a suitable candidate. After all, a professional butler was not chosen arbitrarily but had to be certified by various organizations.
According to the book, it seemed that the spring meeting can be attended online, but the villain insisted on going to the site, even at the cost of his body, forcibly lowering the TH value.
The person attending the banquet today was Ya Xiao.
Ya Xiao pondered to stay away from the crowd when the time came. His current status as an ordinary human couldn't strike at will. If he was accidentally injured, he would have to be separated from the villain during the spring meeting, and there would be no way to draw on the demon value for a long time.
The system agreed with this.
The hovercar quickly arrived at the venue parking lot.
After getting out of the car, the aura of the two adjutants walking next to Ya Xiao seemed to have changed slightly.
Soren was still silent. It was just that the atmosphere of being unapproachable around him was a little stronger. Mist, who wore gold-framed glasses, had a smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were detached and cold as if one would be pitted against him if they were not careful.
Ya Xiao glanced at them thoughtfully.
At this time, the two of them were pretty much as described in the plot. The two had been so friendly to him earlier that Ya Xiao had nearly forgotten that they were the villain's right-hand men, the ruthless accomplices who helped the villain in the eyes of the protagonist's group.
The three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the venue. The waiter handed each of them a number plate, which was said to be for a raffle at the end of the ceremony.
Ya Xiao glanced at the number plate. The white letters on a red background were ugly. Ya Xiao was a little disgusted, and after thinking about it, he casually stuffed the number plate into his pocket.
The officials of the two bases were joined in marriage, and the number of guests invited was large. At a glance, at least half of the people were wearing black military uniforms. These were the members of the Sixth Base, and quite a few of them were taboos wearing special protective equipment.
The group of people in white uniforms on the left side were guests invited from the Fourth Base, and there were also a few taboo bearers inside.
The people from the two bases were clearly separated as if there was an invisible line between them.
The two of them, Mist and Soren, did not hesitate to lead Ya Xiao in the direction of the Sixth Base.
Ya Xiao could still hear Mist whispering in a lowered voice, "The Fourth Base are a bunch of brainless fools. If they come to chat with you, just smile and ignore them."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao didn't care about any of this.
Mist liked that about Ya Xiao. When the people from the base had gathered around, he introduced the new butler to his companions.
This hadn't been done before.
After all, the first few butlers were eager to quit their jobs and flee the base. Mist had to be bothered with counseling the butler, so he didn't have the time to introduce them to the people of the base.
Ya Xiao was also very talkative, and he chatted with them in no time at all. He remembered that there was danger at the banquet. Although he was not sure which taboo person was the one who had the accident, it would never go wrong to distance himself from taboos.
Meanwhile, two officers from the Fourth Base gathered together and looked over at the dark-haired young man in the tuxedo with a bit of sympathy in their eyes.
"That's him?"
"Yeah, he's Marshal Qin's new butler."
"It's really hard for him to work with those crazy dogs."
There were certain rumors that Marshal Qin had killed three butlers. They all knew between their bases that it was false, but there was one piece of news that they all knew for sure was true, and that was that no butler could stand Marshal Qin.
"He's on good terms with those mad dogs though."
The officer of the Fourth Base watched from afar as Ya Xiao smiled and said something to Mist, "I don't know how long this butler can stay in that base."
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to stay for a day."
The few people on the side heard this and laughed. The marshals of the two bases were not on good terms, and they were very happy to see the jokes of the other base.
Zhang Cheng was originally laughing along with everyone, but he found it strange when he noticed Runico's unusual silence beside him.
"'Runico, what's wrong with you?"
"A little dizzy."
Runico muttered, perhaps because he hadn't slept well yesterday that he was a bit uncomfortable and had even developed a crazy idea of wanting to take off his goggles.
"Then, why don't you go out and get some fresh air?"
Zhang Cheng suggested. The wedding march slowly sounded, completely covering his voice. Zhang Cheng could only come close to his companion's ear and said, "There are a lot of people here, so be careful. Don't mess up the goggles."
"Got it."
Zhang Cheng watched as Runico staggered up and left. After thinking about it, he was still a bit uneasy. He explained to his companion next to him and was about to get up to go to find Runico when he suddenly heard a rattling sound.
His gaze froze a little.
Two or three meters away, a silver goggle was lying alone on the ground, the style and color were familiar.
Zhang Cheng was horrified. He subconsciously looked over in the direction Runico was heading and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Taboo No. BFE06 is out of control!"
As soon as the words fell, the skinny middle-aged man a few meters away suddenly disappeared into thin air.
The sound of music covered everything.
Soren, Mist, and the others sensed that something seemed to be being shouted over at the Fourth Base and got up.
"I'll go find Ya Xiao first!"
Mist remembered that Ya Xiao had gone to the dessert section a while ago.
"Mist, what happened?"
Not far away, Ya Xiao looked a bit confused. He was holding two plates of treats in his hands. He seemed to be trying to make a quick reunion and started to jog after taking a couple of steps.
Seeing that Ya Xiao was fine, Mist was instantly relieved and was about to rush to the other's side when he saw that the jogging Ya Xiao had tripped over his feet because he was too flustered and had actually fallen!
"Ya Xiao..."
Mist felt somewhat speechless. Before he had time to finish his words, his gaze suddenly turned serious. There was a sharp table knife stuck right on the floor.
If he hadn't just happened to fall, the knife would have been stuck right in Ya Xiao's backbone.
Mist: ...... f*ck
