"Oh..." the Duke nodded.

Although he looked young, his behavior did not look like a young man. Perhaps it was because of his aura that he was used to being a superior person.

"Not late..." The Duke repeated softly.

He smiled again and said, "Then sit down, the wine has been poured, don't be restrained."

The food on the table is extremely tempting.

As the cup was shaken, clear tears of wine hung on the wall, which were illuminated by the lights. The outer skin of the roasted chicken was brown, full and shiny, and exuded a hot fragrance...

These are in stark contrast to the dry bread provided on the carriage.

All the candidates couldn't stand it.

But they don't dare to eat it.

After several exams, they were very alert.

However, after sitting down, Yu "Huo" picked up the wine glass without hesitation and took a sip.

Zhou Qi said "oh" and didn't stop him.

"You really drink?" she glanced at the Duke and whispered.

You "Huo" said: "If you are thirsty, drink, what's the problem?"

The food this time is much better than the previous exam room, and the skills are not worse than those of 922, so of course he can't speak.

"but……"

Zhou Qi felt that he was not a friend and could not stop him, so he turned around and wanted to ask Qin Jue for help.

As a result, Qin Jue drank a little more than You's "confused".

Zhou Qi: "…"

The Duke laughed and said, "I like such a guest..."

He turned to Douglas again and said, "I like it, I don't mind giving them more rest."

Douglas nodded and said, "Okay, sir."

The candidate closest to the Duke vaguely heard this, hesitated for a few seconds, and started to move.

This is how people are. As long as two or three take the lead, others will quickly join.

In the blink of an eye, those who held the wine glass and only swayed and did not touch each other tried to take a sip. It didn't feel like it, and then started to move the knife and fork one after another.

At this moment, the door opened again.

A man and a woman hurried in, and the man's dress collar was tied in the wrong way, making him look anxious and embarrassed.

The woman's big skirt was not well organized, and she hugged behind the man, holding the other person's hand a little nervously.

You "Huo" looked at them, and the thought system was not purebred animals. At least "couples" were not all forced to get together, and some should be real couples.

Even if you are not a couple, you have some suspension bridge effect when you are in such a life-and-death exam.

The Duke put down his cup and turned to ask the butler: "Douglas, should this couple be late?"

Douglas nodded and said, "Yes, Master."

His old eyes looked at the candidates, and said to the duke without hesitation: "I'm a little late."

The Duke nodded and said, "I understand."

His voice is not high.

But the hall was very quiet, and everyone else was silent and didn't interrupt, so it seemed extremely clear.

The candidates immediately started trembling and their faces turned pale.

The duke raised his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid. I'm just asking questions on a routine basis, come and sit here, and leave a seat for you. The wine has been poured."

The man patted the woman's hand, took a deep breath, and plucked the courage to walk to the other end of the long table.

There are indeed two spaces left by the Duke, as if specially prepared for late guests.

Zhou Qi was still staring at the duke, and after a moment, he whispered to You Huo: "I know the candidates. In the first round, we were in the same exam room. The man was called Zhang Pengyi and the woman was called He Jiajia. He was originally a couple and had a good relationship..."

She said, looking at the Duke again muttered: "My boyfriend was there too, but unfortunately we got separated in the second game."

You "Huo" asked her: "Which game is this?"

Zhou Qi said: "The fourth game."

Her grades were barely OK, so she held a little hope that her boyfriend was a little better than her. As long as she didn't encounter too strange test questions, she would probably get better than her. Then the five games ended... Maybe they could go out together.

As she spoke, she looked at the Duke for a long time again.

You "Huo" asked: "Are you afraid of him?"

Zhou Qi was stunned, shook his head and nodded again: "I must be afraid of it. He is a problem. Who knows what he will do? But I always see him because... his mouth looks a bit like my boyfriend. I miss him very much."

She drank a little wine with grievance, glanced at You Huo, and then glanced at Qin Jue.

He sighed and said, "I think about it even more."

You 『回』: "…”

After half of the meal, the Duke knocked on the wall of the cup and said, "Thank you all for coming from afar and missing me by Alisa and Colin. I believe... I believe that if they know, they will definitely be very moved. I heard from Douglas that you promise to treat the villagers here."

He paused and said in a gentle voice: "I thank you for those poor people."

"Douglas will arrange a carriage to take you to the town during the day, but please be sure to come back before evening. I can't do anything, but please give me a chance to provide you with delicious meals and warm beds."

He said, suddenly tilting his head and coughing a few times.

He was depressed, but his whole body was shaking, as if he was trying to suppress his cough in his chest.

Douglas held him.

He wiped the corner of his mouth with a cloth towel, and his lips turned red when he turned his head.

The person on the dining table exclaimed softly.

The Duke said: "I feel a little uncomfortable these two days, I have a minor illness, so don't worry."

"By the way, you live here, don't take off your mask." The Duke suddenly added: "It's so neat and beautiful."

“…”

Who wants to be neat?

This duke is afraid that it is not obsessive-compulsive disorder.

But given that everyone was mentally prepared in advance, they knew that the Duke would have some quirks, so they didn't take it too seriously.

Then the Duke said, "My house is a little big and it is easy to get lost at night, so drink more wine and have a good night's sleep so you don't have to get up at night."

He chuckled twice: "There is another request. I just said that I am not very comfortable and have poor sleep at night. I don't want to be disturbed. So if you have friends who like to get up at night, please don't go to the first floor of the West Tower. I have a bad temper when I can't sleep and I'm afraid of offending you all."

Everyone nodded, and felt a little scared.

But the wine and the meal are really attractive, and the Duke always acts very gentle. Soon, the candidates buried their heads in their vocation again.

The child's chanting is as the background, light and makes people feel a little sleepy.

But everyone is trying to stay awake and chat inside.

This time the test questions are a bit strange. Something happened on the first day before, or some hidden questions were given.

Or there may be some punishments that will rank last.

But this time it was strange and nothing was mentioned.

Gao Qi and Zhao Jiatong muttered a few words, grabbed the bread in their hands and turned to ask You "Muo": "...a, what do you think?"

"What?"

"I'm discussing Zhao Jiatong. Should we go to the town to explore the situation tomorrow? Or to explore the situation of the castle while the person is away. The Duke is probably annoyed with the *blocking keyword, so don't provoke him for the time being." He told Zhao Jiatong about his dream and was resentful of that dream.

He felt that something was wrong with this castle.

"Zhao Jiatong supports going to the town, which is safer. I support exploring the castle, who do you vote for?"

You "Huo" said: "I want to go to Tantan's Invigilator Office first."

Zhao Jiatong: "?"

Gao Qi: "???"

"No... the invigilator's office recruits you and provokes you, why do they do first?" Gao Qi didn't understand.

He turned to look at Qin Jue again, pinched his nose and asked in a nice voice: "Where are you? Now Zhao Jiatong supports going to the town to explore, I support exploring the castle first. This person is going to visit the invigilator. It depends on you if you are one person, one vote?"

"Me?" Qin Jue said: "I want to provoke the Duke."

Gao Qi: "..."

Why did he take the exam with these two perverts?

Not far away, beside the head of the table, the duke pressed against the corner of his mouth and coughed a few more times, turned to the late candidate Zhang Pengyi, and He Jiajia said softly: "Are you free tonight?" 161
