Chapter 39 The Earl's Wedding (9)
Because the parrot is mysterious and hides it in the game, Qi Tianhe habitually cares about it. Recently, he found that the parrot was inexplicably depressed, and he thought this might be a precursor to its weakness and even faced some unknown danger.
Now……
Oh.
All the worries turned into a sneer on my lips.
"I'm not interested in eating soft food." Qi Tianhe held his hand on the window ridge and looked at the outside world through the narrow gaps in the iron window.
The parrot raised one paw and put it on the back of his hand: "Don't be so disgusting."
I looked at the distant scenery without saying anything, and after a while, I seemed to have realized something.
"The housekeeper said that the old earl fascinated many young girls when he prayed. I wonder if he later married his wife."
When Mr. Roster first gave up on studying vampires, he was already middle-aged. The rich and mature men were fascinated by young and beautiful girls. There were too many such stories.
The proposal of the parrot to fight was rejected. At this moment, he felt perfunctory and suddenly felt a little playful: "Maybe he is the special one."
"No." Qi Tianhe shook his head after thinking: "Mr. Roster wants to become a vampire to delay aging and have a longer life."
This pursuit is destined to make it difficult for him to be attracted by older women.
"The idea is quite clear." After the parrot evaluated, he disappeared and re-attached and entered the dormant state.
Qi Tianhe suddenly envied it a little. Every time he arrived at a copy, he would go out to visit a tour, eat some snacks on weekdays, and sleep when he had no food... As a bird, its happiness index exceeded about 40% of humans.
"It's off topic." Qi Tianhe pressed his temple and turned his attention back to the old earl.
According to the inference just now, if Mr. Roster had married a young girl at that time, it would be different from the current situation.
The Count is a young girl, and the old woman looks like she is sixty years old, and she may be more than yet.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the old woman grows older faster because she is too hit.
Qi Tianhe was thinking about how to talk from the butler, and the maid knocked on the door to deliver the clothes for changing. The clothes were white in general, and at first glance they looked like mourning clothes. He frowned and lifted them up, and shook them to see that they were loose white robe.
This style has been seen in art books and murals before, and it is definitely inappropriate to wear it on your body.
"The water has been reheated, so it is recommended to wash it now." The maid said expressionlessly.
Qi Tianhe followed the maid out and asked the old woman on the way: "How old is the count's mother this year?"
The maid looked at him coldly, as if she was looking at some dead object, speeding up her pace and moving forward.
Qi Tianhe's mouth is raised... It's good to be silent, silence means something is a trick.
The bath pools are very modern, all of which are separated small ponds, which look like hot springs for recuperation.
Qi Tianhe chose a crescent-shaped pond. When he came, Chen Dianshui happened to take a bath and left with a wooden basin.
The maid put a glass of water next to her and left.
There were still many rose petals floating in the pond. Qi Tianhe was about to repel roses in the past two days, but this method of soaking in a hot spring was really comfortable. He leaned back on the stone platform and sighed with his neck.
White mist floated in the air, blurring people's vision.
In this kind of fog-like environment, Qi Tianhe closed his eyes and had a much sharper hearing than usual. When he was sure that there was an abnormal movement at the door, he changed his white robe as quickly as possible, packed up important things, and looked over there vigilantly.
Under the layers of fog, the most vivid thing is the pair of legs.
Even with the blessing of heat, the skin color of the legs is still wrong, it is purple, and it is not known whether it is a patch or bruise on the calves due to pigmentation.
Qi Tianhe carefully walked around the other side with less fog, and a stiff and pale face suddenly appeared in front of him.
The other party saw him too.
"Li Lian?"
Li Lian approached here, almost with the same hands and feet, and his movements were very slow.
At least he had made two game coins for himself, but before the show was performed, there was a problem with him. Qi Tianhe thought about it and handed over a dried rose petal.
Multiple petals and multiple lives.
Li Lian was not as excited as a few days ago. When the already dry rose petals were touched by his fingers, they were instantly broken.
Seeing this, Qi Tianhe clenched his fists without hesitation, saved the remaining fragments, and sighed: "It seems that there is no help."
Put away the petals and patted Li Lian on the shoulder: "Sad to mourn."
Then I thought about it and said this sentence to myself.
Qi Tianhe stared at this bloodless face, and was a little embarrassed to see his current state. He deliberately grabbed his untemperature wrist and walked towards a pool, saying that the water temperature was the most suitable.
The underhands were cold, and the pulse touched by the fingers could hardly be beating.
"You can soak slowly."
Qi Tianhe got the information he wanted to know and was ready to leave.
"Hungry..." A hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat.
Qi Tianhe turned around.
Unlike the parrot who shouted hunger, Li Lian's eyes looked like a giant python that had not eaten for a long time in the jungle, and he wished he could swallow his prey on the spot.
"Hungry..." He looked at Qi Tianhe, repeating the same words back and forth, staring at the carotid artery under his fair skin.
While looking at each other, Li Lian suddenly opened his mouth and rushed over.
Qi Tianhe was about to run away, but noticed that his attack ability was not as ferocious as it showed outside, and it was no different from the newly unearthed zombies. He behaved slowly, but he was very resistant to beating.
He kicked the person back into the pool, and Li Lian was like a ok person and soon stood up again.
Qi Tianhe's eyes sank. Ordinary people will cover their wounds as soon as they are hurt. He has lost his basic conditioned reflex.
Withdrew his gaze, Qi Tianhe shook his head and walked out quickly.
Without going back to his room, he went directly to Li Lian's room, wanting to know what the man had encountered last night. The door was not locked, and when he pushed it open, there was still a figure standing inside.
Liu Tianming turned his head when he heard the voice, and the two of them met, and he nodded slightly.
Qi Tianhe went straight to the edge of the bed and was about to bend down when he heard Liu Tianming say, "I have checked, and the bat sealed under the bed board is gone."
He winked at Qi Tianhe, and the two sides worked together to turn the iron bed over. A few crooked nails were scattered on the ground. Liu Tianming pointed to the few extra holes on the cross: "Obviously, Lian Li took protective measures in advance and used the nails in the corridor to nail them again."
The nails were buried very deeply and almost penetrated the cross. Even if the bats attacked, they could at least gain some time to escape.
Qi Tianhe: "I didn't sleep last night and kept leaning against the door."
If Li Lian ran out to call for help at that time, there was no reason why he wouldn't hear it.
As he said that, he walked to the wall next to the bedside table and checked the ash on the ground. The distribution was roughly even and there were no unnecessary traces.
"It was not the old earl who used the secret room."
There are additional benefits after winning the team. Qi Tianhe does not hide it particularly, and says everything that happened when he saw Mr. Roster.
Liu Tianming narrowed his eyes and looked at one place.
Qi Tianhe pulled out the bed sheet and bedding hard, and a piece of cotton wool in the middle was almost penetrated by blood, but there was no obvious wound on Li Lian's body. He suddenly thought of something and ran towards the bathroom. At this moment, Li Lian was still soaking in the pool, and his body looked a little swollen in the waves.
Qi Tianhe quietly walked around him and whispered to Liu Tianming who followed him: "Look at his back."
Because Li Lian's body is covered with large areas of dark patches, his back is not conspicuous, and the degree is even light. He can barely see clearly through the mist, and there is a rose pattern on his skin with uneven skin tone.
Qi Tianhe carefully withdrew and asked, "What did you think of?"
Liu Tianming glanced outside.
Qi Tianhe nodded, obviously thinking of a place to go...the roses in the yard.
Each rhizome is connected to a mutant bat. It curls into the shape of a heart when it is not rumored, and nests in the soil.
Recalling Li Lian's words in the morning, he felt empty in his heart, Qi Tianhe's expression was a little subtle: "The bat that was originally sealed under the bed may be in his body now."
Gnawed the heart, and then replaced the heart.
Liu Tianming suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Who do you think is relatively normal in the castle?"
"The Count's Mother." Qi Tianhe said without thinking.
Liu Tianming nodded and his views were consistent.
Qi Tianhe: "But based on the age of getting married and having children in her twenties, her daughter should be close to forty now."
From a psychological perspective, the old earl's orientation is a young girl. Moreover, even if the old woman was in her early thirties at that time, the earl should not be like this girl now.
Hearing this, Liu Tianming's eyes moved and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I actually ignored this."
This is actually very normal. Qi Tianhe also noticed that no one among them had seen the Earl before, and it was an accident last night. At that time, except for him who had come into contact with the Earl close, the rest of the players were separated by a distance, so they could only look at it.
Appearance can be created by makeup, but the corners of the eyes, neck... these places where you are most likely to stop in these years will inevitably leave traces. Therefore, Qi Tianhe can be sure that the count's appearance is definitely not mixed with moisture.
"Does the mother and daughter look like each other?" Liu Tianming asked.
Qi Tianhe nodded. He had seen the old earl, how could he say... The earl was obviously the child of the couple.
The eyebrows and eyes look so similar.
Liu Tianming: "So the actual age of the count may have to be twice."
"Youth forever..." Qi Tianhe raised his eyebrows: "This seems to be one of the characteristics of vampires."
The Count mentioned that Mr. Roster started to study vampires again before his death, thinking that he could save himself and his daughter. According to the current clues, it is very likely that he had actually studied something, causing genetic mutation.
In this way, there are two vampires that can be confirmed in the castle, one is the earl and the other is the earl's father. The former is definitely weaker than the latter, otherwise they would not use nails, rattle bells, etc. to prevent their father.
After a change of topic, Qi Tianhe said: "But the count's psychological age is indeed a girl."
Trapped in the castle for a long time, he still retains his fantasy desire for love and family.
The maid came over and the two stopped communicating automatically.
"It's time for afternoon tea." She reminded.
The two followed the maid, deliberately slowing down and stretching a distance. Qi Tianhe continued to discuss the count: "I have a genetic disease, and my biological father was half a human and half a ghost. My mother hated the house and the black ones. It was really pitiful."
Liu Tianming nodded in agreement: "If she marrys you again, she will be misfortune for a lifetime."
“…”
Liu Tianming actually endured it for a long time. He was not a good person and was usually very serious. When he talked about this, he couldn't help but stop and glanced at him, and finally asked: "So, young, why can't you do it?"
“…”
Chen Dianshui was led by another maid from the side. When he heard their conversation, the taciturn man actually approached and joined the discussion: "At least one question was solved."
Not only him, many people suspect that the so-called Qi Tianhejin game is to deal with the witch general. The players do not say that they are selfish, but in the process of leaving the dungeon, they are absolutely egoists. How could they take risks again for the safety of others and the stability of the game?
So at the beginning, Chen Dianshui was more inclined to Qi Tianhe to seize control of the game.
"Now, I've misunderstood you." He said to himself.
The purpose of this person entering the game was to treat it.
Liu Tianming turned his head and frowned at Qi Tianhe: "Is it so serious that modern medical technology cannot save it?"
"..." Qi Tianhe understood the hint between the lines, which marked the reason why he entered the game as a physiological level.
Qi Tianhe didn't want to explain that he actually chose to become a player because he realized his life worry. So far, he didn't know who was secretly trying to attack him, so he simply let them misunderstand and nodded stiffly.
Chapter completed!
