Chapter 282 The old slave is coming~

When Chris looked at him again

Jian Yue reacted a little late, and said, "Do you need me to serve you personally?"

Chris didn't think so. In fact, he just wanted to go to the Flower Festival with his little servant, but Jian Yue didn't seem to want to invite him, so the noble prince just gritted his teeth and said, "Is it not possible?"

Jian Yue actually wanted to go to the flower festival with Chris.

But the problem is, he wants to investigate that flower. He said, "But when you go out to participate in activities, it would be better to have a senior male servant with you. My etiquette and other aspects are obviously not up to the standard. Today, the butler told me that the two senior male servants around you have recovered their mobility. Maybe it would be more suitable for you to accompany you."

Chris knew it, but he still looked at Jian Yue and said, "What about you?"

Jian Yue said: "I will also participate in this festival tomorrow. Since it is considered a holiday, I may go around for a walk. I haven't had a day off since I came to this town."

After hearing this, Chris's expression remained cold.

Jian Yue noticed his unhappiness and asked hesitantly, "Perhaps you have other instructions?"

"No." Chris said with a straight face.

The noble prince would never admit that he did not want to accept the invitations of those nobles. He just wanted to celebrate the festival with his little boy servant. However, he could not say such words. It seemed a bit abrupt, inappropriate and out of place.

After Jian Yue had talked to the prince, he helped him wash up before leaving.

He returned to his bedroom.

In fact, he hadn't been back for a few days. When he came back this time, Brother Crop, Boss Zhao and Ji Xingle were all there. When they heard him come in, they both looked up at him.

When the guy with the buzz cut saw Jian Yue, he was a little surprised and said, "You actually came back to live here?"

Jian Yue said: "I am also a servant, why don't I come back to live here?"

The guy with the crew cut was silent for a while. Of course, he also knew about Jian Yue's transfer. It was precisely because he knew that he was surprised why Jian Yue came back since he already had the opportunity to leave the dormitory.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Boss Zhao, who was not far away, was sitting at the table in a daze. After just a few days of not seeing him, Jian Yue felt that the boss seemed to have lost weight.

Jian Yue said: "What happened in the past two days?"

Ji Xingle, who was lying on the bed not far away, said, "Last night, another person died next door to us. It was said that he heard that you could serve the nobleman and thought that this would be an opportunity to improve your strength and get clues faster, so he took the initiative to approach Miss Lida. Miss Lida sent him to the church to get something, but he died when he came back."

Jian Yue frowned and asked, "What do you want to take?"

When he went there, he didn't meet anyone.

Ji Xingle shook his head: "I don't know, he did it without telling the rest of us."

Jian Yue suddenly remembered that two nights ago, Lida gave him a bouquet of flowers, saying it was for the prince. Could it be that he took that bouquet of flowers, and that bouquet of flowers would kill people?

Sudden.

He remembered that on the night he gave the flowers to the prince, he was chased by a group of monsters in the corridor. At that time, he thought that the difficulty of this copy had increased and the killing conditions of the monsters had been relaxed, which led to the appearance of so many monsters. Now, it seems that there is another hidden story!

Ji Xingle's face turned pale as he said, "This one died even more tragically. There wasn't much flesh left on his body, only a few bones. He was found in a corner of the castle when he came back. We thought he had run away, but we didn't expect he was dead."

Jian Yue said: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Ji Xingle nodded and said, "There are a total of twelve of us in this dungeon, and four of us have died. We haven't even been in the dungeon for half a month."

Too many people died too quickly.

Everyone is afraid and worried that the shadow of death will fall on them next.

This seemed to have irritated Boss Zhao who was sitting next to the table. Boss Zhao said nervously, "This dungeon, this manor is full of demons and devils! We will die if we stay here. Why don't we kill them first and leave this town? I don't believe the dungeon can do anything to us!"

He is crazy.

Jian Yue had such a feeling.

The most dangerous thing in the dungeon is not just the torture from the monsters, but also the anxiety that the taskers feel every day. The high-pressure environment can drive people crazy.

The guy with the short hair said, "You absolutely cannot do that. If the ghost NPCs die directly, they might evolve into more difficult monsters. And once you leave the system town, it might be even more dangerous outside. Don't you understand the meaning of the nightmare world? As long as you can't break the nightmare of this world, this world will definitely be devoured by monsters, and everyone will be trapped in this nightmare in the end."

Boss Zhao's face turned pale. He said, "Well, what should we do? Are we just going to wait for death? You useless bastard, you better think of a solution. I don't pay you so much salary and money for you to take for nothing!"

Without anyone telling him, Jian Yue could see the impatience and gloom in the man with the crew cut's eyes. It seemed that Boss Zhao didn't understand the rules of tomorrow's world.

Ji Xingle glanced at Jian Yue.

Jian Yue said to Boss Zhao, "You can go back after completing the main task assigned by the system. Instead of thinking about those unnecessary things, it is better to look for clues."

Boss Zhao looked at Jian Yue with some embarrassment and annoyance. He wanted to say something, but Jian Yue had already sat on the bed and fell asleep. He had no intention of saying more to him. He had done his best by saying these two sentences. As for the rest, it all depended on luck.

Perhaps because people had died in the past two days, this night was spent peacefully.

Early the next morning, the manor was very lively.

There are people everywhere.

The Flower Festival is to decorate the manor, with colorful lights and flowers everywhere.

The whole manor was filled with the fragrance of flowers. When Jian Yue woke up early in the morning, she heard the maid and housekeeper say outside: "Some of the flowers this year are not fresh enough. We need to ask the servants to go to the flower garden and pick some more."

When I heard her say this.

Many servants outside had ugly expressions on their faces. These words meant nothing to the people in the small town, but to those from outside the town, it was like a nightmare curse. No one wanted to go to the flower field, a place that could sometimes cost lives.

Seeing that no one came back, the maid narrowed her eyes dangerously and asked, "Don't want to?"

Others dared not speak.

Until someone's voice sounded: "I can go."

Everyone looked at Jian Yue in surprise. Jian Yue said, "Please let me go. I am willing to go."

The maid was a little surprised and asked, "You're going?"

To be honest, it wasn't that she didn't want Jian Yue to go. She hated Jian Yue as much as anyone else, but Jian Yue was too cunning. Every time he did something, people would always wonder if he had another trick up his sleeve.

Jian Yue said very seriously: "Of course I will not miss this kind of activity that can bring good luck and blessing to people. If you are willing to give this job to me, then I will be honored."

Maid: “…”

If she could speak, she would definitely say that Jian Yue was not a lunatic.

But the maid didn't say anything. After all, it was great that someone was willing to take on this task. So the maid smiled and said, "Very good, you are such a good child. I believe the Lord God will bless you."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "That couldn't be better."

After completing this errand, he boarded a carriage and headed for the flower fields.

The manservant who was in charge of driving him there was Sari. Sari still looked gloomy. When he saw Jian Yue coming, he couldn't help but mutter, "Oh my God, this is really not a good idea."

Jian Yue said: "Someone has to do it anyway."

It actually didn't take much time to get from here to the flower fields planted by the Duke, about an hour's journey. When Jian Yue was still far away from the flower fields, he could smell that fragrance, an abnormal fragrance.

Sarri frowned when he smelled it and said, "What an unpleasant fragrance. Go by yourselves. I'm leaving."

That's right.

Ji Xingle also came with Jian Yue. Ji Xingle was actually very afraid of the flower field, but this kid seemed to have figured it out. It was useless to keep running away. Since he couldn't escape this nightmare world no matter where he went, he might as well come here directly!

The two of them were responsible for picking flowers and taking them back.

The person in charge of the manor had been waiting for a long time. He was a short old man with cloudy eyes, and there was a sharp feeling when he looked at people.

"I'm coming." His voice was a little hoarse and rough: "Go in, don't stay too long and come out."

Jian Yue and Ji Xingle nodded.

When the two of them went in, Jian Yue saw the flowers in the entire flower field. The flowers were very interesting. This was a variety that Jian Yue had never seen before. It was a flower that looked like a knife scroll. The entire petals were rolled inward. The colors of the petals were colorful and they were slowly blooming.

Jian Yue said, "I heard from Sari before that this sunflower only blooms at night, why is it blooming during the day now?"

Ji Xingle whispered, "It is said that the Flower Festival is a day given by God, so the sunflowers bloom in the daytime. To be honest, I really think the scent of these flowers is very fragrant at first, but if you smell it too much, you will feel dizzy and want to vomit..."

Jian Yue squatted down. They came to pick flowers, so of course they could get closer to the flower fields. Jian Yue poked the soil and said, "This soil is very new, which means it is often turned over."

Ji Xingle also squatted down and took a careful look. The fragrance of the flowers here was so strong that most people would be attracted by the flowers and few would pay attention to the soil.

"This flower is very interesting." Jian Yue said, "Look, its stem is so thin, but the flower bud is so big. This proves that most of its roots are underground. There must be something underground, and it must be quite large. It is absorbing nutrients from that thing."

The Devil's Notes says that sunflowers have the effect of exorcising demons and evil spirits, but this flower doesn't look very easy to get along with.

Ji Xingle suggested: "Then let's dig and see?"

Two people were talking.

An angry roar came from behind: "Those of you who want to pick flowers, pick flowers, only flowers, not the roots, otherwise, the Duke will not forgive you!"

When Jian Yue and Ji Xingle turned around, they saw the old man not far away staring at them fiercely.

Got caught on the scene.

Jian Yue smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course, we will follow the Duke's orders. You can rest assured that we will pick the flowers carefully and do our job well."

The old man then left with peace of mind.

Ji Xingle whispered, "Are we really not going to move the roots?"

Jian Yue said: "I will follow the order of the Duke, but the person who asked me to pick flowers was the housekeeper's maid. What does that have to do with the Duke?"

Ji Xingle: “…”

It has to be you.

The old man left. When Jian Yue was picking flowers, he walked to the most remote part of the flower garden. He exchanged a shovel from the mall and then dug it with the shovel. Sure enough, the branches under the soil were intricate and the roots were very hard.

As he was digging, Jian Yue stopped.

Ji Xingle, who was guarding him, looked back with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jian Yue stopped what he was doing. His expression became more serious. He looked at the flowers in the field and was silent for a moment before saying, "All the flowers here have no roots."

Ji Xingle was surprised and asked, "How is that possible?"

"Do you know the big tree?" Jian Yue put the shovel aside and said, "The branches and vines of the big tree spread out and grew branches. The same principle applies to these flowers. These flowers are actually like branches. The branches and leaves below are intricate. In fact, each flower looks independent, but they are just branches of the big tree. Even if you continue to dig, you can't dig up the roots of this flower."

Ji Xingle was a little surprised and asked, "Then where is this big tree?"

Jian Yue looked at the endless sea of ​​flowers, and then his eyes fell on a small town not far away. He said, "What is that building at the edge of the flower garden?"

Ji Xingle followed his gaze and after identifying it for a moment, he said, "It seems to be... a church."

An expected answer.

Jian Yue said: "It seems that this big tree is in the church."

Ji Xingle looked at the flowers he and Jian Yue had picked and said, "You said that anyone who touches the flowers will be chased by the devil. If we pick the flowers now, then at night, won't it be..."

Jian Yue looked at the sea of ​​flowers and said, "Nothing is absolute. If this is true, then how come the people who have been guarding this sea of ​​flowers are fine? How come those who use flowers to make honey are fine?"

The two of them were talking.

Jian Yue suddenly looked down at the place where the soil was dug, then narrowed his eyes. Then, he said to Ji Xingle: "Did you find anything?"

Ji Xingle said, "What?"

Jian Yue said, "Don't you feel strange? We have been digging for so long. Have you ever seen an ant, an earthworm, or even a bug?"

Ji Xingle fell silent, his eyes gradually filled with fear, because he also realized that there was nothing, even if there were no ants or earthworms in normal land, there would at least be some life, because the soil is alive, and these flowers are also alive. Moreover, it is midsummer now, and the flowers are blooming so lushly, but there is not a single bee or butterfly within a hundred miles.

Jian Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, and just when he wanted to continue looking under the soil.

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away. The voice was very angry and sharp: "What are you doing? These are the Duke's flowers. They are the sacred sunflowers that he cultivated most carefully. Normally, these flowers can't even withstand wind and rain. How dare you dig the soil? Wait, I will write a letter to inform the Duke and let him punish you two audacious slaves!"

It was the old man who was guarding the manor who came over, expressing his dissatisfaction as if he was breathing fire.

Ji Xingle was terrified when he saw this scene. He was very scared when he thought that the Duke might punish them. If they were really executed, there would be no need to wait for the ghosts in the copy to attack them. The Duke alone would definitely kill them!

The old man said angrily: "Speak up, you two, why don't you speak? Don't you dare to admit it?"

In the old man's opinion, these two people would soon kneel down and beg for mercy.

But what he never expected was that Jian Yue, who was next to Ji Xingle, came up and said with a smile, "We didn't dig the soil."

The old man was shocked and started to lie. He said, "You still want to quibble, I saw it all!"

Jian Yue said: "Because this is a sacred flower, the flower told us that we want to come out of the soil and breathe some fresh air. We did this under the guidance of the flower, am I right?"

Ji Xingle was standing next to them, and he didn't expect Jian Yue to start asking him questions.

There is actually a play about him!

After Ji Xingle realized what was happening, he stammered, "Yes, ah, yes, that's right!"

Jian Yue then smiled and said to the old man: "Look, I told you."

Old man: “…”

The audience in the live broadcast room: “…”

Seeing the old man sobbing and looking so angry that his face turned purple, the audience almost laughed like crazy:

"Ahahahaha oh my god who can come up with an excuse like that."

“It seems to make sense.”

“Sunflower: Speak for me.”

"The key is that it's hard to refute. Are you going to say that flowers are not sacred?"

The old man gasped for a few times in anger. Just when everyone thought he could accept this outrageous excuse, the old man looked at Jian Yue and his eyes gradually twisted. He whispered, "Even if it was the intention of the Divine Flower, we should ask the Bishop for permission and let him do it. You two weak boys, I will definitely punish you!"

As he spoke, he suddenly drew out a sword from behind him and slashed at them!

Although he looks old, he moves very fast!

Fortunately, Jian Yue was prepared. He said to Ji Xingle, "Get out of the way!"

Ji Xingle was pulled away by Jian Yue and if Jian Yue hadn't pulled him in time, he might have been cut in half. It was only now that Ji Xingle began to understand why there was only such a old man guarding such a large flower field. This crazy old man was really not to be messed with!

It seemed that the old man was about to chop at me again.

Ji Xingle shouted loudly: "Qiyaya!"

The little maid appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Jian Yue and Ji Xingle by the collars the moment the old man chopped them down, then disappeared from the spot. The next second, she appeared on the side of the road a hundred meters away.

The old man shouted in the flower field: "Where are the people? Come out, you two boys, wait for me!"

Qiyaya said to the two people, "Run!"

For an elf that can move in space, carrying two people at a time is still a huge cost. In the past, Qiyaya could only carry Ji Xingle alone, because card elves can only carry their masters. But since discovering that Jian Yue can also be carried, Qiyaya’s main focus has been loyalty and righteousness, which is a very easy thing to do.

Jian Yue started driving directly, but both of them underestimated the old man's speed. After he took the machete, he seemed to suddenly realize something and rushed over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

At another corner.

It was discovered that Ji Xingle in the carriage had turned pale, probably because his original heart disease was about to flare up again.

Jian Yue stopped the carriage on a hillside and said to Ji Xingle, "You hide in the house at the bottom of this hillside. I will lure him away with the carriage. When he leaves, you go back to the castle by yourself. No matter what the Duke asks you, you insist that it was Hua who did it. Do you understand?"

Ji Xingle felt dizzy after listening to this and could only nod.

Jian Yue quickly said to Qiyaya: "Take your master away."

Qiyaya did not hesitate at all. She would not hesitate since human life was at stake. When the old man was about to catch up with her, Jian Yue drove the carriage towards the small road again. This was the road leading to the small town.

The town is very lively today as it is hosting a flower festival.

Under the trees in the center of the square, there was a crowd of people. This was the center of the flower festival. After rejecting another person who invited him to dance, His Royal Highness Chris stood there with a stern face. He did not like such lively occasions. People were obviously afraid of his hair and identity, but they still invited him anyway. Their eyes were full of fear of him, and they said all kinds of nice words, but they were very reluctant.

Chris simply walked to the chair behind the hot spring alone. Most of the time, even in the royal city, when there were group activities like this, he would find a secluded corner to be alone and feel most comfortable. No one would really want to stay with him anyway, not even his little servant, who had already left to attend the Flower Festival.

How ridiculous.

He clearly acted like he liked me so much, but when he was free, he didn't want to stay with me. Yes, with my ominous identity, how could anyone really like me...

Just thinking about it.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away, and then the carriage stopped not far away. Chris looked up and saw a tall and agile figure jumping down from the carriage. He rushed all the way and finally stopped by the fountain.

Eyes met.

The panting man in uniform came face to face with the noble and elegant prince sitting on the chair. Then, Jian Yue suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness, meeting you here is the luckiest thing for me today. I heard that the grand ceremony of the Flower Festival is here, so I wanted to try my luck and come here. I didn't expect that God would really bless me and let me meet you. I wonder if you are willing to come with me?"

On a midsummer afternoon, the fountain was flowing, the sky was filled with the petals and fragrance of flowers, and the surroundings were bustling with people. Only the person in front of him had bright eyes. He was panting, and even those who came to see him had to run.

Chris felt as if the only person left in the world was the person in front of him. All the resentment from last night and this morning seemed to have dissipated in an instant. The noble prince snorted lightly, then stood up and walked to the side.

Jian Yue was stunned and a little hesitant. In fact, it was normal for His Royal Highness to refuse. After all, he was just a little male servant with a low status. Maybe Chris would not look down on him...

Chris looked back at him and said, "Come on, why are you just standing there?"

Jian Yue laughed, and he ran over to the man and said, "Your Highness, wait for me, I am here~"
