Chapter 36 The Earl's Wedding (6)
After repeatedly confirming that it was not a joke, Li Lian became autistic.
He felt that it was a mistake to start with huge profits from participating in that bet, otherwise at least there would be a chance to transition slowly.
This is the case when you get out of the dragon pond and enter the tiger's den.
Time passed slowly, and Li Lian looked at Qi Tianhe who was flirting with his boredness: "Do you mind sharing it?"
Qi Tianhe learns and sells it now: "Notebooks may be the medium for passing curses."
As soon as Li Lian's eyes rose, he had a trace of admiration for his experience, he heard him say, "What Liu Tianming said."
“…”
He put down his notebook temporarily, Qi Tianhe's eyes darkened and he suddenly looked at the door.
Li Lian also heard a little sound.
At this time, Qi Tianhe suddenly got up and opened the door, which scared Li Lian: "You can't go out tonight."
Qi Tianhe: "I have some time before I really get into the night, so I should be the butler."
The figure who disappeared at the corner outside the door was very thin, with a hunchback slightly. It was indeed the housekeeper. When Qi Tianhe opened the door, he had only time to see the other party's fading back.
Li Lian was still a little scared of the door being opened, and this action was too rash and bold.
However, when he saw Qi Tianhe holding something in his hand, it seemed to be a corner of the talisman paper, this concern was quickly dispelled.
Qi Tianhe turned his head: "Candle."
Li Lian walked up with a wax table: "What's wrong."
Qi Tianhe didn't say anything.
With the light of the candlelight, it was still very difficult to see the nails drowned in the velvet of the carpet. Li Lian instantly recalled his previous experience when he ran away, and the soles of his feet were painful.
"It's not there just now, it seems that the butler specially put it on," Li Lian said in a bad tone: "Look at how capable he is to use such vulgar means to harm people."
Qi Tianhe picked up the nails and found that there was a small hole at the top of each nail and connected them with thin lines, which was probably convenient for recycling.
"The purpose is not to harm people, otherwise you will not survive now if you apply some poison," Qi Tianhe stood up, walked forward in the direction of the nails, and finally stopped outside the count's house, where there were particularly many nails.
"Train?" Li Lian also saw the trick: "It seems to be preventing something from going to the count at night."
Pray that things in the sky return to their original position: "What do you think are you guarding against?"
Lian Li was stopped.
If it is a ghost, the damage effect of the nails can be ignored, but if you are guarding against people, the castle belongs to the earls, and it is easy to deal with an ordinary person. How can you do more effort to do these things?
Qi Tianhe sat by the bed and continued to look through the notes, which recorded in detail the reactions of the old earl after using his body for experiments. He was photophobic, his body temperature decreased, and his dizziness from time to time... The occurrence of these situations made Roster once believe that the experiment was about to be successful.
It is worth noting that the opportunity for the old Count to start using himself to make experimental products was that a bat resurrected from the dead and became a mutant bat. He wanted to continue to use his servant's body to do experiments, but he had a new concern.
...What if the servants perfectly merge into powerful vampires and in turn suppress themselves?
Seeing this, Qi Tianhe closed the notes and was about to ask the butler tomorrow how to deal with the corpse of the steward.
Li Lian: "Do you want to burn it?"
This notebook can cause disaster at first glance.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Qi Tianhe personally experimented. When the candlelight touched the edge of the cover, the candle began to melt automatically. If Qi Tianhe had not withdrawn quickly, it would have been splashed by hot oil.
He actually didn't want to ruin this notebook, and he always felt that he could find more clues from it. Notes were the only thing that could find connections with the old Count so far, and it might not be useful in the later period.
Li Lian could feel some of Qi Tianhe’s thoughts, reminding him: “The benefits and risks are often proportional.”
Qi Tianhe thought about it, opened the door and threw the notebook on the blanket outside, and said goodbye to himself: "The housekeeper said he can't go out tonight, I wish you good luck."
Finally, I felt too heartbroken and hurriedly closed the door and added: "See you tomorrow."
With a bang, Qi Tianhe made sure to put the lock on, and turned around and said to Li Lian: "There should be no problem now."
“…”
There is always a full moon in a month, and the moon is particularly round that night. Although the moon is full when Qi Tianhe enters the dungeon, it is not as perfect as it is now.
Li Lian still had a strong shadow on the bed, but a small iron bed could not accommodate the placement of two adult men. Qi Tianhe specially pulled out a layer of blanket, so he wrapped himself in a chair and sat on a rest, and soon became sleepy.
However, Qi Tianhe was unable to fall asleep because the moonlight was too bright and he was almost straight in his face.
After turning over, his eyes stagnated... the notebook actually came back and lay flat on the windowsill.
Qi Tianhe's eyelids twitched, thinking that climbing windows is a bad habit.
He did not touch the notebook and continued to lie on the bed. The thing during the day might bring a key message that makes people shine. At night, it was a hot potato.
...The kind of potato that you will find on your own way home.
To be on the safe side, Qi Tianhe took out a small shovel and slept with him. If there is an accident, he could take out a handy weapon in time.
It was different from the calm that had been the last two days. He slept until midnight and was awakened by a strange sound. When he opened his eyes, Li Lian had already woken up first, leaning straight on the back of the chair, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, looking at it, looking even more scarier than a ghost.
"Listen, what's the sound?"
Qi Tianhe couldn't explain it clearly, and his first reaction was to find the source of sound. He stood on the bed first, confirming that it was not the ceiling, and he vaguely felt like it was coming from the wall behind, but when he got closer and prepared to listen, the sound moved directly in front of him.
There seemed to be an unknown existence wandering in the room.
At this time, it is naturally safer to get together. Li Lian instantly began to approach Qitianhe, but the latter held the small shovel tightly, obviously thinking that the shovel should be more trustworthy.
I don't know how long it took, but the room suddenly became quiet again. Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, the bed suddenly moved.
Qi Tianhe jumped down as fast as possible, without even wearing any shoes, the sealed bats under the bed were struggling violently, and the nails nailed on them began to loosen.
Qi Tianhe frowned when he checked last night and confirmed that the bat was dead.
Li Lian looked around and found a chair that could temporarily block the danger. He swallowed his saliva and said, "It's coming out soon."
The snake tail that grew after the mutation was the first to escape. When the nail was thrown to one side and the wings could not be broken free, the snake tail flapped the bed board crazily, with extremely strong force.
Dong! Dong!
Someone knocked outside the door.
The two sounds were superimposed, and the sound that could not be found before appeared again, which made people confused and could not restrain themselves. As the sound wave became more and more exaggerated, the rational string was about to break, and the two of them had only one thought: escape!
The only remaining reason tells them that they cannot open the door, and they are prone to being killed by opening the door. The second floor of the castle is completely different from the ordinary residential building. If you really jump down, you will be disabled even if you don’t die.
Li Lian resisted the severe headache and made the final confirmation: "Do you want to go out?"
Even though the butler said that he could not go out at night, the room was not safe when the seal under the bed was unbuttoned.
Qi Tianhe half-covered his ears to stop the sound waves from attacking, and said hoarsely: "Listen to someone's advice to have a full meal."
NPC said that you should not go out, it would be better to go out.
Seeing that the bat was about to escape, Qi Tianhe calmed down completely, and the afterglow caught a glimpse of the notebook on the windowsill.
This thing seems to be associated with the old earl's remnant thoughts during his lifetime. Bats are listed as the lowest vampire. Since that's the case, one thing should be reduced to another.
Without hesitation, Qi Tianhe rushed over quickly, raised the notebook that was lying there peacefully, leaned over and crawled under the bed and smashed the bat.
The snake's tail was hit several times in the middle, and the arm suddenly swelled, but the effect was better than expected. The bat's abdomen was smashed and the sticky brown liquid dripped off, and its movements became smaller and smaller. The final result was that the notebook was intact, while the bat completely lost movement and the snake's tail was pulled down.
Qi Tianhe sat on the ground in a long breath. The coldness on the ground stimulated the skin, bringing a rare soberness.
He turned his head and looked out the window, and suddenly said, "This moonlight seems a bit weird."
Confirm that the bat would not be moved anymore, he and Lian Li worked together to lift the bed to a place where the moonlight could not be shined at all, and then made a simple curtain with the bed sheet. For a moment, the room fell into complete darkness.
Qi Tianhe was much more at ease than before. In this case, he climbed into bed and fell asleep quickly.
Because of a temporary curtain, I didn't know it was dawn the next day, so it was a little later than usual when I went downstairs to have breakfast.
The housekeeper didn't send anyone to call him. At this moment, Liu Tianming and Chen Dianshui had eaten almost the same food.
Liu Tianming swallowed his last bite of the cake: "The quality of sleep is good."
Qi Tianhe pulled out the chair and sat down: "I had some minor problems and I slept a little late."
I guess I had trouble last night. Liu Tianming didn't mention it verbally, but he was very particular about the neatness of the clothes. Now one cuff is broken, and the sleeves are loose and the straddle is pulled up.
As for Chen Dianshui, it was slightly blue and purple at the moment, and the long eyelashes drooped and cast a shadow, which did not completely cover this fatigue.
After the meal, there was a thunderous letter writing session. Just as everyone was waiting for what they wanted to do today, the housekeeper came back after sending the letter and said to Chen Dianshui: "The Earl wants to see you."
Chen Dianshui was not surprised by this and followed the butler upstairs.
Li Lian asked: "Where are we?"
The butler glanced at him and responded coldly: "Enable for free."
“…”
Li Lian turned his head to look at Qi Tianhe, but he didn't see any concern.
After Qi Tianhe wiped the cake residue from the corner of his mouth, he went to find the crazy old woman.
“…”
I almost forgot that the other person had the support of his elders. At the critical moment, the old woman was willing to break into the wedding hall for him and expressed her opinion, "I don't agree with this marriage."
Liu Tianming sat quietly in place.
Li Lian: "Did you give up?"
Liu Tianming said lightly: "The count will meet me later."
His judgment rarely makes mistakes, and not long after, the butler really came downstairs to invite him.
Qi Tianhe stayed with the old lady until the evening. When he came back, he seemed to have mastered some new news and kept a meditative state when he was having dinner.
While the butler left, Liu Tianming put down his knife and fork and said, "The Earl tactfully reminds me to keep a distance from you."
While Chen Dianshui was still eating slowly, he nodded slightly when he heard this, indicating that he had received the same warning.
Qi Tianhe not only wasn't nervous, but also asked curiously: "I remember never offending the Count."
Liu Tianming: "She probably had some misunderstanding."
Qi Tianhe recalled the complicated eyes of the butler yesterday, especially the conversation between the two parties before dancing the social dance, and what he vaguely captured: "Will you doubt my sexual orientation?"
Liu Tianming nodded: "Probably."
Qi Tianhe thought for a while, and then whispered to Li Lian, who hadn't spoken much during the meal, "Ten Game Coins, I'll play a play with you."
Li Lian raised his head, made sure that the maid was far enough away from them, and asked in an equally low voice: "What drama?"
Qi Tianhe: "The scene of turning against you is a grudge. I will deliberately pester those two people after I break up with you."
Liu Tianming and Chen Dianshui seemed to have not heard it, and allowed him to speak verbally.
Li Lian was confused and could not send himself to the forefront with such clumsy means alone.
"But you can save your life." Qi Tianhe saw what he was thinking and said, "The Count will inevitably have a little worry. It is very likely that you will leave your spare tire in case of emergency."
After taking a sip of tea, she sighed: "The world is unpredictable. If I kidnap the groom before getting engaged, or both of them will die in love, she will have a choice."
At this time, Chen Dianshui suddenly got up and looked at Qi Tianhe with complicated ease before leaving. The latter waved his hand friendly: "Be careful of the stairs."
After a long time, Li Lian came back to his senses from the shock brought by Qi Tianhe, and was frightened to find that he had actually tasted some truth from the other party's words.
Qi Tianhe strikes while the iron is hot: "Support to do things first, then pay the full amount, and the deposit is only one gold coin."
“…”
