Qi Tianhe was very distressed.

When Liu Tianming came to the gardener to hand in the task, he knew that he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thought.

At that time, the gardener was very satisfied with the cake brought by Liu Tianming, so he took a bite and gave the other party a pearl directly.

"After they quarreled that day, I went to take care of the trampled rose. I accidentally discovered this blood-colored pearl. I thought it was beautiful and hid it privately."

Qi Tianhe watched the scene and couldn't help asking: "How many have you picked up in total?"

The gardener stopped talking.

If his silence cannot be said to be panic, his silence is worth pondering. The gardener's previous sentence itself is ambiguity. He can indeed point out the place where the count and the old woman quarreled, but he is not responsible for the after-sales service, such as whether pearls can be dug out there.

Another player... Chen Dianshui got the pearls from the count. According to the case analysis of the gardener, the three pearls were mostly in different places.

Chen Dianshui had already touched the wall at the maid, and now there was only one housekeeper left. Chen Dianshui asked him to take him to find the count, but he must have had a deal. In addition, the housekeeper seemed to be loyal to the count, so there was little possibility of privately hiding the pearls.

Where did the last pearl go?

Just as Qi Tianhe was thinking, two slender figures came from afar, Chen Dianshui and Liu Tianming stood in front of him one after another.

Chen Dianshui was straightforward: "Simply relying on searching for luck, such a large piece of roses is obviously unrealistic, and clues must be obtained from other people."

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

Qi Tianhe is very smart, but his experience in gaming is not as good as a real high-level player. Chen Dianshui's understatement immediately made him suddenly realize.

"Because she thought the old woman would pick up the bracelet, she deliberately left a pearl when throwing it, which made her feel uncomfortable."

It is obviously more tormenting than not being able to find it, just one pearl is missing to recover.

Liu Tianming made a light addition: "The woman looked very proud of her face. She couldn't come to see her at that time. She probably had to wait until there was no one, for example, after nightfall."

After saying that, he looked at the gardener: "I didn't expect that another person would intercept him in advance."

The gardener's expression is not very natural.

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

Now that the matter is, Qi Tianhe can still understand, the last pearl is in the old woman's hands.

"Go." Chen Dianshui turned his head and looked in the direction of the old woman: "If it were someone else, she might be embarrassed, but she would be a little tolerant of you."

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

He was originally planning to go to the old woman to hand in the mission with a hundred-meter sprint, but now he was caught and Li Lian laughed awkwardly twice.

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

Li Lian also posed for surrender, nodded at Qi Tianhe: "Don't worry about me."

When Qi Tianhe walked towards the old woman, he couldn't grasp the direction of the development of the situation. There was such friendly mutual help in the copy, which was simply incredible.

In fact, Liu Tianming and Chen Dianshui were implied by the old woman. Although in Liu Tianming's opinion, this level was not difficult for Qi Tianhe. Due to Chen Dianshui's actions, he could not stand in place and say nothing to avoid causing the old woman's dissatisfaction.

As for Li Lian, he was unreasonable to eavesdrop on the answers, and he was stopped by Chen Dianshui and could not act. Considering that he might have to buy petals from Qi Tianhe in the future, he naturally would not fight to the death because of this.

The old woman smiled kindly when she saw Qi Tianhe coming.

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

The old woman nodded happily, took out a small pearl from her pocket skillfully covered by lace, and said generously: "A gift to her future son-in-law."

Qi Tianhe deeply realized that not lying does not mean that lies cannot be conveyed. The old woman's actions seemed to indicate that this pearl was collected just for a meeting gift, and she did not mention that she used her words to make them fall into misunderstandings.

The moment the finger touches the pearl, a line of prompts appears in my mind:

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

Skill cooldown time: two days.]

"thank you."

With the benefit, Qi Tianhe felt extremely beautiful when he looked at the wrinkles at the corners of the old woman's eyes.

Seeing his posture of collecting things and slightly raised corners of his mouth, the players behind him were still unclear what was going on.

Li Lian's throat moved and couldn't help but say, "I'm sure this is not an illegitimate child who is living outside?"

The treatment is about to reach the internal settlement.

Chen Dian sailor inserted it in his pocket and glanced at him: "You should worry about yourself now."

Hearing this, Li Lian's expression changed slightly. He took care of the butler's words in the morning and the loser would be expelled.

Just as he was thinking, a vicious gaze pierced, the old woman actually got up and walked in this direction, with an aggressive aura, and Li Lian subconsciously took a step back.

"You are the only one who failed." The old woman's eyes seemed to pierce him.

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

The age difference is huge, and under normal circumstances, Li Lian can completely break free. However, the old woman is extremely strong and her nails are growing little by little, poking directly into the flesh.

Li Lian was in pain and was about to bend his knees to attack the other party's abdomen, but the housekeeper suddenly appeared to stop him. Although he was old, he could easily break the old woman's fingers.

“What are you doing?”

The old woman sneered.

Without caring about what they said, Li Lian coughed violently several times, and his face still had the red purple left behind when he held his breath. He endured the discomfort in his body and immediately groped into his pocket. Sure enough, there was a missing rose petal.

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

Li Lian frowned. He still had a rose petal, and perhaps there was room for maneuver.

Then the butler said again: "Sorry, the letters in the morning did not impress the count, so you must leave before dinner."

Li Lian gritted his teeth and said extremely firmly: "I am not a count, so what do I need to do to stay?"

The butler stared at him and didn't say anything. Just when Li Lian's scalp was numb because of his sight, he finally spoke: "Sincere, just give your sincerity."

There was nothing to say between the two sides for a while.

The smile on the butler's face gradually became dull. Li Lian subconsciously looked at Liu Tianming nearby. The latter was not heartless and reminded him not to hesitate with his mouth.

There is no better way to go at the moment, Li Lian finally nodded.

The butler only had a promise and did not have a bloody heart-cutting ceremony on the spot.

The player was still forced to follow the old woman in the following time. After listening to the old man’s complaints and scoldings to his daughter for several hours, it was difficult to make a statement.

As the sun sets, the roses suddenly begin to sway, making a magical wave of flowers.

The beautiful scenery is the easiest to attract people to stop, but the old lady seemed to have seen some disgusting scene. She no longer complained, and she pushed the players around her away and walked into the castle like she was escaping.

Qi Tianhe stared at the sea of ​​flowers for a while and found that the direction of the rolling waves and the direction of the wind was not consistent, or even diverged.

He was not the only one who discovered that Liu Tianming got a pair of leather gloves from somewhere, with an eye embroidered on the surface, which was very realistic, as if he blinked, Qi Tianhe judged that it might be a prop.

His idea was right. After putting it on, Liu Tianming didn't use much force and easily pulled out a whole rose with the complete root.

Qi Tianhe thought that what he pulled out would be the mutated snake-tailed bat I saw before, and the shovel was ready for emergencies, but it was just a large lump of soil, but the soil was shaking violently.

Liu Tianming gave a hint of his eyes, and Qi Tianhe knew how to find a wrung rag to wipe the soil.

The process was not good. This thing was like a ball filled with air, as if it would explode if it was accidentally used for more effort. The first thing exposed was a small piece of slightly purple red skin on the top, with spreading tendons inside. At first, he felt like raw meat hanging on the grill. After all, the true face of this mysterious creature finally appeared.

...A heart that is beating vigorously.

"Look at this place." Liu Tianming pointed at the circle in the middle.

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

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

"It turns out that it's not the flowers moving," Qi Tianhe said with a glance: "It's something below."

As the two walked side by side towards the castle, Qi Tianhe looked up at the iron window above, and from the structure that it was close to the Earl's room: "I hope this is not an interracial marriage."

He had no requirements for the count, he could be a person.

"Castle, Countess, Bat..." Liu Tianming said lightly: "In general horror story copies, they are usually standard for vampires."

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

Have the times changed?

Liu Tianming did not answer, nor could he answer.

Dinner is ready, a 70-cent cooked steak, fondant cake, and broccoli.

Qi Tianhe himself doesn’t like eating steak very much, and the cake that imitates the heart is also unpleasant. The only thing that can be eaten is broccoli.

After the meal, the maid brought three more fruit drinks. At first glance, it looked like watermelon juice, without the portion of Li Lian.

"This is done by the count himself," the housekeeper introduced it in particular: "The letters from the morning made her feel sincere. You can continue to communicate with the count tomorrow."

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

Liu Tianming first picked up the cup and finished drinking it, frowned and said, "It's too sweet."

Qi Tianhe did not hesitate either. In any case, this was a reward for letters in the morning. Drinking more benefits than disadvantages.

Li Lian could only look at the drinking of others and said resentfully: "I even drew a cartoon doll on the letter, but it didn't even impress the count."

Qi Tianhe almost choked.

In a world without information networks, the only entertainment activity after a meal is walking and reading. These two things are not applicable in the castle. Qi Tianhe sat in the room and waited for a while, but did not wait for the maid to send the "Sunshen Water" before going to bed.

Ten minutes later, he gave up waiting and lay down on the bed. Last night, he fell asleep in a daze after drinking water. At this moment, he was quite awake and it was difficult to fall asleep in this state.

Qi Tianhe felt uncomfortable after turning over several times.

The iron bed gives people the feeling of hanging in the air, and his hands and feet are clearly placed on the bed, but they are like falling in the air. He tried to change his curled position, which is not very useful, and there is always a part of his body from beginning to end.

Parrot: "You can check the bed."

Qi Tianhe got up after hearing this. Because it was a very ordinary iron bed, he didn't pay much attention to it before.

I looked carefully at the bed, there was nothing, and I lifted the sheets, and there was nothing else.

Not knowing what he thought of, he lit the candle and leaned down toward the bed again, but this time he looked up at the bed board on it, and without warning... he met a pair of cold and straight eyes.

The location under the bed was limited, and there was no extra space to hide. Qi Tianhe reflexively wanted to pull out from the bottom of the bed. After that, he took a deep breath and resisted the strong discomfort and continued to look.

These eyes belong to a bat. It has lost its vitality and its pupils are dull.

The wings, snake tail, head... were nailed with a rusty nail in each place. The one sealed it was a cross.

The length and width of the cross are exactly the same as the length and width of the bed. Qi Tianhe's face changed slightly. No wonder no matter how he sleeps, he feels hanging in the air. To be precise, the body beyond the range of the cross will have the illusion of floating in the air.

That strong sense of incongruity came again, and it really meant that the people in the castle were all like demons, but they kept emphasizing that they could not lie.

He raised the candle a little and saw a name plated with silver at the end of the cross: Angel.

Just as I was about to take a closer look, a faint call for help suddenly rang in my ears. Qi Tianhe pricked up his ears to argue. The source of the sound came from outside the door. After being blocked by the strong door, I could only vaguely hear a little.

The one who happened to Li Lian.

He was almost certain of this.

Qi Tianhe thought about it, pinched the talisman with one hand, carefully opened a gap in the door, and saw a figure stumble and running. Li Lian's feet kept bleeding and would be stabbed by nails in the blanket from time to time. Although there was nothing behind him, he ran forward with a look of horror.

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

When I heard a call for help in the middle of the night, the door opened. Except for novices, it is definitely one of the most unlikely operations for ordinary players.

Qi Tianhe waved at him and signaled 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 panting.

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

"Thank you." Li Lian sat on the ground against the door and treated the wound.

He has healing props, but the effect has not reached an immediate effect.

After spraying the medicine mist, Li Lian looked at Qi Tianhe deeply: "Thank you."

Qi Tianhe told the truth: "It will be more beneficial for me to survive."

First, Li Lian made a lot of game coins not long ago, and the situation allowed him to use some wool by selling flower petals; furthermore, once Li Lian dies, Qi Tianhe has a premonition that he will be targeted.

The count didn't seem to have a good impression of him. Tonight's "watermelon juice" Liu Tianming said that the taste was sweet, but his own part was slightly bitter.

"It's not too early, let's take a break first." Qi Tianhe gave him time to relieve himself and did not directly ask what happened.

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

Qi Tianhe had some speculation and tried to say: "Bat?"

Li Lian focused his attention: "Just now, I was lying on the bed, and suddenly I felt paralyzed in my limbs. It seemed that something was drilling up from the bed board. I quickly confirmed that it was not an illusion at all. The thing dug a hole in the middle of the bedding and started gnawing on my back."

As he said that, he turned around, revealing his ferocious back, which was still wounded even after spraying the medicine.

Qi Tianhe's eyes were fixed, and the injured position was aimed at the heart.

Li Lian: "I barely recovered a little bit of my movement by biting my tongue. I jumped out of bed and found that it was a bat with a long mouth."

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

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

Qi Tianhe pondered for a moment: "It seems that your seal is just loosening."

One night, Li Lian never dared to get close to the bed and sat on the cold floor to take a nap. The sky was just a little brighter, and he immediately opened his eyes and saw a little hazy outline of the sun, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The difficult night finally came to an end.

The two went downstairs together. Liu Tianming and Chen Dianshui got up at a long table every day, and they would always sit at the long table earlier.

Li Lian transferred thirty game coins to Qi Tianhe this morning. As a high-quality cooperative customer, Qi Tianhe gently handed him honey water: "It will be much more comfortable to drink."

During breakfast, he was even more meticulous. Qi Tianhe also took on the maid's work and helped pour flower tea for Liu Tianming and Chen Dianshui. Occasionally, he also told one or two stories circulating among the people to liven up the atmosphere.

He is a kind-hearted person. Yesterday, these two men helped complete the task of finding pearls. Qi Tianhe unexpectedly received gifts from the old woman, so he was naturally grateful.

The butler saw all this in his eyes.

It was time to write a letter to the count again soon. Li Lian's hand holding the quill was trembling slightly because of his nervousness.

Qi Tianhe gently patted his shoulder and gave silent comfort.

Li Lian's mood gradually calmed down and pulled the corners of his mouth.

The housekeeper took the envelope and went upstairs to hand over the things to the count.

The Count's room was like a small plantation, with large roses blooming in the cracks of the walls. Because the growing positions were dark and damp, the shape of the roses was somewhat deformed, and some of the unbloomed buds were darker in color, like mushrooms with strong vitality.

The Count watered the roses and carefully maintained them.

Before leaving, the butler wanted to speak but stopped.

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

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

"fish culture?"

The housekeeper nodded: "He cared for all his competitors and risked his life to save another warrior last night and allowed him to live in his room."

Hearing this, the count stretched out his fingers and stroked the rose buds, and after a while, he said, "Are you referring to the man who is unable to do anything?"

The butler slightly modified this sentence: "Maybe he is just powerless to women."

In fact, what the other party is really interested in is not the earl, but the earl's suitor. Even while the earl was concentrating on growing flowers, they began to cast nets among the warriors, just waiting to see if one or two could be taken away in the end.

The slender fingers exerted a little force, and the rose buds trembled, and almost twisted their heads off.

The count's eyes moved to the envelope: "Which letter was written by him?"

The housekeeper picked out the yellow envelope.

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

The housekeeper obeyed her instructions—

Beautiful Earl:

Another day I miss you.

I am deeply attracted by that mystery and just want to witness your happiness. Even if I cannot achieve the right result, please allow me to attend the final engagement banquet.

I think other people think so too. Please believe that you will always be the moonlight goddess in everyone's mind.

Pray piously to the river of heaven.

The stingy wording did not make the butler's heart like an ancient well feel a slight turbulent, but instead said: "On the first day he came, he also called you the moon in a tactful way, and he didn't mind everyone bathing in the moonlight together."

This is a decent statement.

A more straightforward translation is that everyone will never distinguish between you and me, and will love each other and live together.

Speaking of this, the loyal butler was worried: "If you choose your husband, he ended up elopement with the target candidate, and the wedding banquet could not be held as scheduled."

The air was so quiet that it was terrible.

After a long time, the count turned his head and looked at the housekeeper, his eyes unfathomable.

The butler was a little nervous when he was looked at.

The Count suddenly asked: "Did the other warriors respond?"
Chapter completed!
