It's almost like I'm a fairy

Qi Tianhe was very distressed.

When Liu Tianming handed in the task to the gardener, he knew that he had entered into a misunderstanding.

At that time, the gardener was very satisfied with the cake Liu Tianming brought, and after taking a bite, he directly gave him a pearl.

"The other day after their quarrel, I went to take care of the trampled rose, and found this blood-colored pearl by accident. I thought it looked good and hid it privately."

Qi Tianhe watched this scene and couldn't help but ask, "How many did you pick up in total?"

The gardener fell silent.

On the premise of not being able to lie, his silence is worthy of scrutiny, and the gardener's previous sentence itself is ambiguous. He can indeed point out the place where the earl and the old woman quarreled, but he is not responsible for after-sales. Key issues such as pearls cannot be dug out.

And the other player...Chen Dianshui got the pearl from the earl. According to the case analysis of the gardener, the three pearls are probably in different places.

Chen Dianshui has already hit a wall with the maid, and now there is only one butler left.Earlier, Chen Dianshui asked him to lead him to find the earl, so he must have dealt with him before. In addition, the housekeeper seemed to be loyal to the earl, so it was unlikely that he would hide the pearls.

Where did the last pearl go?

While Qi Tianhe was thinking, two slender figures came from a distance, Chen Dianshui and Liu Tianming stood in front of him one after the other.

Chen Dianshui got straight to the point: "It is obviously impractical to search for such a large area of ​​roses simply by chance, and the clues must be obtained from other people."

Since he entered the game, he has basically never communicated with anyone. Now he said a lot at once, but he helped analyze the plot: "The poor relationship between mother and daughter is a starting point. Why do you think the earl wants to hide the blood pearl?"

Qi Tianhe is very smart, but in terms of game experience, he is not as good as a real advanced player. Chen Dianshui's understatement immediately made him enlightened.

"Because she thought the old lady would go pick up the bracelet, so she intentionally left a pearl when she threw it away, which made her feel uncomfortable."

Compared to not being able to find it, being able to restore it by only one pearl is obviously more tormenting.

Liu Tianming added lightly from the side: "That woman is very face-saving at first glance. It is impossible to come to find her at that time. Most likely, she will wait until there is no one around, such as after nightfall."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the gardener: "I didn't expect to be cut off by another person in advance."

The gardener looked unnatural.

Liu Tianming continued: "If you didn't find the two pearls, you would definitely be suspicious, so you only took one."

Until now, how can Qi Tianhe not understand that the last pearl is in the hands of the old woman.

"Go." Chen Dianshui turned his head to look in the direction of the old woman: "If it was someone else, she might still make it difficult for her, but she would be more tolerant of you."

Yu Bi suddenly walked behind the wall and grabbed Li Lian who was eavesdropping there.

Originally planning to do a [-]-meter sprint and go to the old woman to hand in the task first, but now he was caught in the face, Li Lian laughed awkwardly.

Qi Tianhe was startled when he saw this, Chen Dianshui said: "Don't waste time."

Li Lian also raised his hand in a gesture of surrender, and nodded at Qi Tianhe: "Don't worry about me."

When Qi Tianhe was walking towards the old woman, he couldn't grasp the direction of the situation. It's incredible that there is such a friendly mutual help in the dungeon.

In fact, Liu Tianming and Chen Dianshui were hinted by the old woman, although in Liu Tianming's view, Qi Tianhe was not troubled at this level, but because of Chen Dianshui's actions, it was difficult for him to stand still and do nothing. Said, to avoid dissatisfaction with the old woman.

As for Li Lian, eavesdropping and copying the answers didn't make sense at first, and he couldn't move even if he was stopped by Chen Dianshui. Considering that he might have to buy flower petals from Qi Tianhe in the future, he naturally wouldn't give up because of this kind of thing.

The old lady smiled kindly when she saw Qi Tianhe approaching.

Qi Tianhe's eyes were a little strange: "Do you have a pearl here?"

The old woman nodded cheerfully, took out a small pearl from her pocket which was skillfully concealed by lace, and said generously, "A gift for the future son-in-law."

Qi Tianhe deeply realized that not telling a lie does not mean that he cannot pass on the lie. The behavior of the old lady seemed to indicate that this pearl was collected only as a gift for meeting, and she did not mention that she used words just now to make them fall into misunderstandings.

The moment his finger touched the pearl, a line of prompts appeared in his mind:

[Blood Pearl: Mrs. Rost's dowry, after wearing it, you can identify the authenticity of a sentence from an NPC.

Skill cooling time: two days. 】

"Thank you."

Having benefited, Qi Tianhe felt extremely beautiful when he saw the wrinkles at the corners of the old woman's eyes.

Seeing his posture of collecting things and the slightly raised corners of his mouth, the players behind him didn't know what happened.

Li Lian's throat twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "Are you sure this isn't the illegitimate child of an NPC living outside?"

Salary will soon catch up with the default.

Chen put the sailor in his pocket and glanced at him: "You should worry about yourself now."

Hearing this, Li Lian's complexion changed slightly. According to the housekeeper's words in the morning, the losers will be expelled.

Just as he was thinking about it, a venomous gaze stabbed at him, and the old woman got up and walked in this direction, with an aggressive aura, Li Lian subconsciously took a step back.

"Only you failed." The old woman's eyes seemed to pierce him.

The next moment, he went crazy and pinched Li Lian's neck with his skinny fingers.

Due to the huge age difference, Li Lian could break free under normal circumstances, but the old woman was so strong that her nails were growing little by little, piercing directly into the flesh.

Li Lian was in pain, and was about to bend his knees to attack the opponent's abdomen, but the housekeeper suddenly appeared to stop him, regardless of his age, he easily opened the old woman's fingers.

"what are you doing?"

The old woman sneered.

Regardless of what they said, Li Lian coughed violently several times, his face still red and purple from holding his breath, resisting the discomfort in his body, and immediately groped in his pocket, and sure enough, another rose petal was missing.

The butler walked up to him: "Sorry, you failed the test."

Li Lian frowned. He still had a rose petal, so there might be room for maneuver.

At this time, the butler said again: "Unfortunately, the letter in the morning failed to impress the Earl, so you must leave before dinner."

Li Lian gritted his teeth and said firmly, "I will not marry unless I am an earl. What do I need to do to stay?"

The butler stared at him without saying a word, and when Li Lian's scalp was numb, he finally said, "Sincerely, just offer your sincerity."

There was a moment of silence between the two parties.

The smile on the butler's face gradually faded. Li Lian subconsciously looked at Liu Tianming who was nearby. The latter was not unfeeling, so he mouthed to remind him not to hesitate.

There is no better way to go right now, Li Lian finally nodded.

The butler only wanted a promise from him, and did not perform a bloody heart-cutting ceremony on the spot.

For the rest of the time, the player was still forced to follow the old woman, listening to the old man complaining and scolding her daughter for several hours, and it was very difficult to intervene.

When the sun was about to set, the roses suddenly began to sway, creating a magical flower wave.

The beautiful scenery is the easiest way to attract people to stop, but the old lady seems to have seen some disgusting scene, no longer complains, and suddenly pushes away the players around her, and walks into the castle as if fleeing.

Qi Tianhe stared at the sea of ​​flowers for a while, and found that the direction of the waves of flowers rolling was not in line with the direction of the wind, or even deviated from it.

He was not the only one who discovered the anomaly. Liu Tianming got a pair of leather gloves from nowhere. There was an eye embroidered on the surface, which was very realistic. It seemed that he even blinked. Qi Tianhe judged that it might be a prop.

His idea was correct, Liu Tianming didn't use much force after putting it on, and easily pulled out a whole rose plant with complete roots.

Qi Tianhe thought that the mutated snake-tailed bats he saw earlier would be pulled out. The shovels were all ready for emergencies, but it was just a big lump of soil, which was shaking violently.

Liu Tianming gave a hint with his eyes, and Qi Tianhe found a wrung-out rag to wipe the soil.

The process was not pleasant, this thing was like an inflated ball, as if it would explode if you accidentally applied more force.The first thing to be exposed was a small piece of slightly purplish red skin on the top, and the inside was the spreading veins. At first, he thought it was like raw meat hanging on the grill. After wiping it all off, the true face of this mysterious creature finally appeared.

...a heart that is beating alive.

"Look here." Liu Tianming pointed to the circle in the middle.

Qi Tianhe looked intently and found a bat's face, and the veins around the heart were disguised by the bat's slender tail.

Liu Tianming reinserted the rhizomes into the soil, and the roses quickly merged with the soil automatically.

"So it's not the flowers that are moving," Qi Tianhe said gazing, "It's the things underneath."

When the two walked towards the castle side by side, Qi Tianhe looked up at the iron window above, which was close to the earl's room in terms of structure: "I hope this is not an interracial marriage."

He didn't have any demands on the earl, just an individual.

"An ancient castle, a countess, a bat..." Liu Tianming said calmly, "In general horror story dungeons, it is usually a standard configuration for vampires."

His words opened up a new layer of thinking for Qi Tianhe. After thinking about those mutated bats, he said, "Why do vampires keep talking about the Bible as their belief?"

Have times changed?

Liu Tianming didn't answer, and couldn't answer.

·

Dinner was ready, a steak medium rare, fondant cake, and broccoli.

Qi Tianhe himself doesn't like steak very much, and the heart-like cake is also unappetizing. The only thing he can eat is broccoli.

After the meal, the maid brought three more cups of fruit drinks, which looked like watermelon juice at first glance, without Li Lian's share.

"This is done by the Earl himself," the butler introduced, "Everyone's letters this morning made her feel sincere, and you can continue to communicate with the Earl tomorrow."

His tone sounded like the player had won some special honor.

Liu Tianming was the first to finish the cup, frowned and said, 'It's too sweet. '

Qi Tianhe didn't hesitate either, anyway, this was a reward for the morning letter, and the benefits of drinking it outweighed the disadvantages.

Li Lianyou, who could only watch others drink, complained, "I even specially drew a cartoon doll on the letter, but it didn't impress the Earl."

Qi Tianhe almost choked.

In a world without information networks, the only recreational activity after dinner is to take a walk and read a book.Both of these are not applicable in the ancient castle. Qi Tianhe sat in the room and waited for a while, but did not wait for the maid to bring the 'soothing water' before going to bed.

After another 10 minutes, he gave up waiting and lay down on the bed.I fell asleep in a daze after drinking water last night. At the moment, my mind is quite clear, and it is difficult to fall asleep in this state.

Qi Tianhe turned over several times and felt uncomfortable.

The iron bed feels as if it is suspended in the air, and the hands and feet are obviously resting on the bed, but it seems to be falling in mid-air.He tried changing to a curled up position, but it didn't help much, as there was always a part of his body that felt unsteady from beginning to end.

Parrot: "You can check out of bed."

Qi Tianhe got up when he heard the words, because it was a very ordinary iron bed, he didn't pay much attention to it before.

Carefully looked under the bed, there was nothing there, then lifted the sheet, also nothing.

He didn't know what to think, he lit a candle and went down to the bed again, but this time he raised his face and looked at the bed board above, without warning... met a pair of cold and straight eyes.

The space under the bed is limited, and there is no room to hide, so Qi Tianhe reflexively wanted to get out from under the bed.Afterwards, he took a deep breath, resisted the strong discomfort and continued to look.

The eyes belonged to a bat, which was now lifeless and had dimmed pupils.

Wings, snake tail, head... There is a rusty nail nailed in each of the three places, and what seals it is a cross.

The length and width of the cross were exactly the same as the length and width of the bed, Qi Tianhe's face changed slightly, no wonder no matter how he slept, he felt suspended.To be exact, the body beyond the scope of the cross will have the illusion of floating in mid-air.

The strong sense of disobedience came again. It was really necessary to describe everyone in the castle as a devil, but they kept emphasizing that they should not lie.

He lifted the candle up a little and saw a name plated in silver on the end of the cross: ANGIE.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, a faint cry for help suddenly sounded in his ears. Qi Tianhe pricked up his ears to listen. The source of the sound came from outside the door. After being blocked by the solid door, he could only faintly hear it.

It was Li Lian who had the accident.

He was almost sure of that.

Qi Tianhe thought for a while, holding the talisman in one hand, carefully opened the door a gap, and saw a figure stumbling and running.Li Lian's feet kept bleeding, and he was stabbed by nails in the blanket from time to time. There was nothing behind him, but he ran forward with a frightened face.

Seeing Qi Tianhe open the door, he was so surprised that he forgot the pain for a moment.

Hearing the call for help in the middle of the night to open the door, except for novices, is definitely one of the most impossible operations for ordinary players.

Qi Tianhe waved at him, signaling to come over.

Li Lian rushed into the room in one breath, and Qi Tianhe quickly closed the door.

"My rose petals are broken." Li Lian said out of breath.

Qi Tianhe gave him a petal, and Li Lian transferred fifty game coins on the spot.

"Thank you." Li Lian sat on the ground near the door to treat the wound.

He has healing items, but the effect has not reached the point of immediate effect.

After spraying the medicine mist, Li Lian took a deep look at Qi Tianhe: "Thank you."

Qi Tianhe said truthfully, "It's more beneficial to me if you survive."

Firstly, Li Lian made a lot of game currency not long ago, and the situation allows him to sell some petals to get some wool; secondly, once Li Lian dies, Qi Tianhe has a premonition that he will be targeted.

The earl didn't seem to have a good impression of him. Liu Tianming said that the 'watermelon juice' tonight was sweet, but his own was slightly bitter.

"It's getting late, let's rest first." Qi Tianhe gave him time to relax, without directly asking what happened.

Unexpectedly, the moment Li Lian saw the bed, panic and resistance flashed in his eyes.

Qi Tianhe had a certain guess, and tried to say: "Bat?"

Li Lian nodded heavily: "I was lying on the bed just now, and suddenly felt numb in my limbs, as if something was crawling up from the bed board. It was soon confirmed that it was not a hallucination at all. The thing dug a hole in the middle of the bedding and started to eat my flesh back."

As he spoke, he turned around, revealing his back, which was still grimly wounded even after being sprayed with medicine.

Qi Tianhe fixed his eyes, and the injured part was right on the heart.

Li Lian: "I managed to regain a little mobility by biting the tip of my tongue. I jumped out of bed and found it was a long-billed bat."

Qi Tianhe nodded: "There are also here, but they are nailed to the cross."

"Cross?" Li Lian didn't pay much attention to that at the time, and his first reaction was to run outside.

Qi Tianhe pondered for a while: "It seems that yours is just a loose seal."

One night, Li Lian never dared to approach the bed again, and sat on the cold floor to take a nap. The sky was just getting a little brighter, and he opened his eyes immediately, seeing a little hazy outline of the sun, and he was completely relieved.

The difficult night finally came to an end.

The two went downstairs together. Liu Tianming and Chen Dianshui didn't know what time they got up every day, and they always sat at the long table one step ahead of them.

Li Lian transferred another [-] game coins to Qi Tianhe this morning. As a high-quality cooperative customer, Qi Tianhe gently handed him honey water: "Drinking will make you feel much more comfortable."

During the breakfast, it can be said that he was meticulous. Qi Tianhe also took over the work of the maid, helping Liu Tianming and Chen to order water and pour scented tea, and occasionally told one or two folk stories to enliven the atmosphere.

He is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Yesterday these two people helped to complete the task of finding pearls, and Qi Tianhe accidentally received a gift from the old lady, so he was naturally grateful from the bottom of his heart.

The housekeeper saw all this in his eyes.

Soon it was time to write a letter to the Earl, and Li Lian's hand holding the quill pen trembled slightly because of nervousness.

Qi Tianhe patted his shoulder lightly, giving silent comfort.

Li Lian's mood gradually calmed down, and he twitched the corners of his mouth.

The butler took the envelope and went upstairs to the count.

The earl's room is like a small plantation. There are big roses blooming in the cracks in the wall. Because the place where they grow is very dark and humid, the shape of the roses is a bit deformed, and the color of some unbloomed buds is dark, like A vigorous mushroom.

The earl watered the rose and cared for it carefully.

Before leaving, the housekeeper hesitated to speak.

The count put down the kettle, and his voice floated softly: "What's wrong?"

The steward hesitated for a moment and said, "I suspect that a warrior is raising fish."

"fish culture?"

The butler nodded: "He takes great care of all the competitors. Last night, he risked his life to save another warrior and let him live in his room."

Hearing that the earl stretched out his fingers to caress the rosebuds, and said after a while, "You mean the man who can't do what he wants?"

The housekeeper modified the sentence a little: "Maybe he just can't do what he wants with women."

In fact, what the other party was really interested in was not the Earl, but the Earl's suitors, and even took advantage of the time when the Earl was concentrating on growing flowers, he began to spread the net among the warriors, waiting to see if he could catch one or two in the end.

When the slender fingers exerted a little force, the rosebud trembled, and his head was almost twisted off.

The count moved his gaze to the envelope: "Which one was written by him?"

The butler picked out the yellow envelope.

The count said lightly, "Read it to me."

The butler obeyed her orders—

Beautiful Earl:

Another day of missing you.

I was deeply attracted by that mystery, and I just want to witness your happiness.Even if I can't achieve a positive result, please allow me to participate in the final engagement banquet.

I think other people feel the same way, please believe that you will always be the moon goddess in everyone's mind.

Sincerely pray to Tianhe.

The nasty words did not make the butler's heart like an ancient well flutter, but said: "On the first day he came, he also euphemistically called you the moon, and I don't mind if everyone bathes in the moonlight together."

That's a decent way to say it.

A more straightforward translation is that everyone will love each other and live together regardless of you and me.

Speaking of this, the loyal housekeeper was worried: "If you choose a husband, but he elopes with the target person in the end, the wedding banquet will not be held as scheduled."

The air was eerily quiet for a moment.

After a long time, the count turned his head to look at the butler, his eyes were unfathomable.

The housekeeper looked a little uneasy.

The count suddenly asked, "Did the other warriors respond?"

The housekeeper said truthfully: "Two warriors volunteered to help each other find the lady's pearl yesterday, and one...you know, he has already spent the night in his room."

The author has something to say: old lady: prospective son-in-law.

Housekeeper: Yulang.

Maid: Neptune.

Qi Tianhe: Can you treat me fairly and fairly?

A bit late, but successfully caught the tail of the weekend, thick and long!
