Mantis easily changed the course of the current situation with just a few words, which would be detrimental to the quick resolution of the situation.

Decisive and fierce.

Looking at his former companions who died in horrible ways, Foley felt very uncomfortable and immediately expressed his opinion.

"I will cooperate, and I am willing to cooperate. The information I have collected is all related to the successor ceremony. It is said that all members of the Inset family who are qualified to become successors must participate. This is a rule set by the ancestor."

Foley glanced furtively at the boy across from him.

"So... so when you said you wouldn't attend the ceremony, I didn't believe you. No! It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe this rule can be broken. I'm afraid that the position of successor is not something you can give up just because you want to."

Although Xiao Qianchuan had anticipated that he would be forced to participate in the ceremony, he still felt a little unhappy when it was confirmed.

This means a change of plans for tonight.

Looking at Dr. Newt, who was still shielded from the situation by Luo Xie and was unaware of anything, Xiao Qianchuan shook his head.

The task is indeed not that easy to complete!

Seeing that Billy and the powerful butler ignored him, Foley continued.

"No one knows what the specific sacrifice is. The key words I found out are fresh and delicious, so I went to the woods this afternoon to dig out a beehive. There is honey and new larvae in it, which should meet the requirements."

Having said that, Foley swallowed subconsciously.

"After entering the underground palace with the offerings, the heirs need to go to different rooms to pray. At that time, the heroic spirit of the ancestor will descend, personally select the next head of the family, and bless him. Oh, by the way! This side quest should not be dangerous. I heard that those who are not selected just need to leave the castle and never come back."

Foley's account was particularly detailed, and he should have made public all the information he had.

Xiao Qianchuan smiled and nodded at him, then spoke with satisfaction.

"Very good, very comprehensive! Then who do you think is most likely to be the key NPC?"

After thinking for a while, Foley looked embarrassed.

"I really can't tell. Lizard tried to test Dr. Newt before, but he said there was no progress. After listening to Mantis' analysis, I think Wood is more likely."

Hearing this, Xiao Qianchuan clapped his hands and happily agreed, "Ah! I also think that Wood is the key NPC."

Lanbo originally wanted to say that he thought Wood and Newt were both bad people.

If he had to compare, he felt that Newt had a little sense of justice, but not much.

However, after hearing Xiao Qianchuan's conclusion, Lan Bo didn't think any more about it and stated.

"I found some information about Newt. This person's reputation is very polarized. The servants in the castle like this approachable doctor very much. They say he is kind and enthusiastic, and a helpful gentleman."

"But the farmers who came to the town to deliver vegetables said that Newt was very cold. He has a single-building clinic in the town, but he rarely opens the door. He often turns a blind eye to patients who come to him for help. There are also some strange noises coming from the basement at night. I suspect this doctor is doing some secret experiments."

Fu Lai scoffed at this useless information, but Xiao Qianchuan was very interested.

"Do you know what kind of treatment Dr. Newt specializes in?"

Lanbo thought about it and felt a little embarrassed to speak.

"Well... I heard it's reproductive... internal medicine."

After this was said, everyone was stunned. What is the field of reproductive medicine?

Specializing in infertility treatment?

The corners of Xiao Qianchuan's mouth twitched slightly. He lowered his head and drank a sip of soup, ending the topic.

The butler stood behind him with a fierce look in his eyes. Xiao Qianchuan said nothing and no one dared to ask him what clues he had found.

All players can only accept that this round of intelligence sharing is over.

The meal left people with mixed feelings, and there was a dead body lying on the ground with no one paying attention to it.

Dinner was over, but the dispute between Wood and Newt over sweet and salty food still had no conclusion.

The two left one after another, and the NPCs came in one after another to clean up, but they never found Lizard's body in the corner.

Players have a deep understanding of the butler's terrifying power.

This person shows two completely different sides at night and during the day.

One is black and the other is white, both good and evil, making it difficult to tell which one is the real him.

But no one dared to explore.

Mantis and Foley left quickly after the conversation without even looking back.

Lan Bo carefully observed the demon butler's expression and walked forward to ask in a flattering manner.

"Master, if there is anything you need from me, just tell me."

Luo Xie didn't even glance at the man. He bent down with his head down, carefully wiped the greasy corners of the boy's mouth, and spoke slowly.

"roll!"

Hearing that he was not needed, Lan Bo smiled happily. He nodded repeatedly and backed away, but as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by someone.

"and many more."

Xiao Qianchuan snatched the napkin from Luo Xie's hand, turned his head and wiped his lips hard twice, then looked at Lan Bo.

"You go find Newt and tell him that there's a change of plans. We can set off the fireworks after I finish the Successor Ceremony."

"Plan? What plan?"

As soon as the question came out, Lanbo immediately covered his mouth wisely and nodded to indicate that he would do as he was asked and he would never ask about things he shouldn't know.

Before leaving, he thought about it and couldn't help but remind him.

"Well, Mantis, it's dangerous to work with her. Do you know what sacrifice that woman has prepared?"

Not expecting the other party to answer, Lanbo spoke on his own, his voice unconsciously trembling a little.

"Live!"

"She prepared a human sacrifice. Mantis cut off the hands and feet of her personal maid and pickled them in a jar. She gave her medicine and kept her alive, saying that she was fresh only if she was alive. How cruel! She...she is not a human being at all."

Even though there was an evil god following him, Xiao Qianchuan had never seen or heard of such a bloody and cruel thing.

He responded with a sullen face, "Got it."

Hearing the other party's indifferent tone, Lan Bo was still a little worried, but in the end he said nothing more and turned away.
