Chapter 272: There are only two words in Butler Wang's dictionary
Jian Yue and the maid looked at each other.
There was a deathly silence in the whole house at that time.
Under such gaze, the maid took the booklet handed over by Jian Yue. The rule in this copy is that whoever is invited to read this booklet cannot refuse, otherwise he will be punished by the devil.
Obviously.
Jian Yue has already used the excuse of illiteracy, but since the maid is literate, she cannot use this excuse.
The maid's hands were trembling, and even her knuckles were turning white. Her eyes were dark and wide, with some fear in them. From the threat to Jian Yue in the beginning to her own confusion now, all these operations took less than a minute.
The audience in the live broadcast room were very interested. After all, many people had seen that most of the taskers in this room were used to being bullied. This was the first time they saw someone giving the ghosts a warning as soon as they arrived!
Just when everyone thought Jian Yue was going to give someone a warning.
Jian Yue yawned and said, "Forget it. It's so late now. I think the Lord God should also rest. How about we sing praises to his merits tomorrow?"
The maid's pale face turned bright, and she even stuttered a little: "Oh, this is a really good idea, isn't it?"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Of course, then you want to go back and rest, right?"
The maid nodded quickly, and then left the room at lightning speed. She walked so fast that the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned. Jian Yue sat on the bed and yawned, looking at the bed not far away. The other people there were sleeping soundly, but one person's eyelids moved. Jian Yue knew very well what the eyes of a person who was really asleep looked like.
I don’t know when the guy with the crew cut woke up.
Maybe it was when I was talking to the maid, or maybe even earlier.
But why did the maid only look for me?
A normal person would not want to leave his beloved bed after experiencing the fear of someone standing at the bedside in the middle of the night. However, Jian Yue was different. After experiencing the zombie copy, there was even a zombie octopus sleeping outside the window in the middle of the night. His psychological threshold was raised a lot.
He sat up and lit an oil lamp on the table. The warm yellow light instantly filled the entire room.
Jian Yue began to observe this windowless bedroom carefully. He focused more on his bed. After observing for a while, he didn't feel anything wrong.
Just as he was about to put down the oil lamp.
Jian Yue squatted down and looked under his bed. As expected, he saw a white rope. He had no idea when the rope was tied under his bed. But unless there was a rope on the bed originally, or someone in the same room had tied it...
Retracting his gaze, Jian Yue looked back into the room. In the dim light, everyone's sight and facial expressions seemed to be hidden.
Jian Yue bent down, took the rope off and threw it on the table.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also discussing:
"Who is this? He is so wicked."
“That’s too bad!”
“Isn’t this harming people?”
"This is only Steward Wang. Aren't the others dead?"
Just when everyone thought that Jian Yue would wake everyone up in the middle of the night, Jian Yue actually threw the white rope on the table, turned around and went to sleep.
Audience: “…”
When everyone thought he was trying to confuse people, they saw -
He started snoring!!
Really asleep!
The audience was stunned, but Jian Yue slept soundly. Until the next day, when a bell rang outside and everyone got up, he sat up.
The white rope is still on the table.
Jian Yue's eyes swept over everyone, and he said slowly: "Why is there one rope missing from my rope?"
The expression on the guy's face froze and he said, "What?"
Jian Yue looked up at him and said, "I said, I'm missing a rope."
The guy with the buzz cut said excitedly, "There's only one, what are you talking about?!"
Jian Yue smiled softly and said, "I haven't told you how many there are, how do you know there was only one?"
The guy with the buzz cut was visibly flustered. He said in a panic, "What do you mean? When I woke up this morning, I saw only one on the table. I must have thought there was only one!"
Jian Yue said: "I didn't say you took it, why are you so excited?"
The guy with the crew cut might have realized that he was a little too excited. He looked at Jian Yue with some annoyance, but he couldn't refute.
Boss Zhao also stood up and said, "What are you talking about? What rope? It's just a rope. When we get out, I'll give you hundreds of them!"
The boy on the upper bunk of Jian Yue asked in confusion: "What happened?"
Everyone in the room had a different look on their face.
Jian Yue retracted his gaze and smiled: "Nothing, actually the rope is not mine, I just want to find its owner and return it to him, if you know anything, please tell me."
Everyone's expression changed.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard screams outside.
The sound was quite loud, so everyone came out in a hurry and found that many people were gathered outside the gate of the manor. They saw a man whose body was pierced at the waist by the iron railing of the manor's iron gate. Blood was dripping from his whole body, and he looked extremely horrifying. The most important thing was that his face and skin were gone. The whole person had no skin, only bright red flesh outside, as if he had been peeled off alive by someone.
The first person who went out in the morning started vomiting after seeing this.
The room of Jian Yue and others was quite far away, so they were slow to leave. When they arrived, there was already a circle of people gathered outside.
The maid was still wearing the same black and white shirt dress as yesterday. Her expressionless eyes moved grimly across everyone's faces before she slowly spoke, "Last night, I told you not to go out casually at night. Someone disobeyed the manor's orders and angered the Lord God. This is the price."
Some people are still vomiting.
Jian Yue noticed that the person next to him gasped.
It was the boy on the upper bunk who was feeling very unwell. His face turned pale. After meeting Jian Yue's gaze, he whispered, "I remember this dead man. He seemed to be a newcomer. On his way here yesterday, he kept saying he wanted to go back. He must have sneaked out of the room by himself last night, and then..."
Jian Yue said: "He has no skin, how can you recognize him?"
The boy replied, "His shoes are on the ground. I remember the style."
Jian Yue saw the pair of blood-stained shoes and became thoughtful.
"Where the hell is this?" Someone in front of us said in a panic, "Why are people dying? Is there any law here?"
The maid said, "This is Duke Chuck's manor. The area within a hundred miles is his territory. You are his slaves. Going out without permission without following the master's orders is a serious crime. The Lord God does not like disobedient believers. I think if you have any objections, we should send you to the Bishop."
Everyone was stunned and some people didn't dare to cry anymore.
In fact, by now, most people have already understood that this copy world is completely different from the world they were in before, and they must learn to adapt here, otherwise there is only one way out, and that is death. Their companions have paid the price of their lives, and they must learn to accept it.
Jian Yue stayed behind and didn't say anything.
His experience from many dungeons told him that only by listening more at this time could he accumulate more clues. What was even more interesting was that the main quest of this dungeon had not been released yet, so he had to be more careful.
The maid said, "Now you will split into two groups. One group will clean the garden and rooms in the north, and the other group will follow me to clean the south and prepare to welcome the bedroom of the Lord Prince!"
Everyone was randomly divided into groups, and Jian Yue stood randomly as well. The maid called their group to go over together.
When we arrived at the south garden, the sunlight was pouring in from outside. This place was facing the sun and should be the best room and place in the manor. When we arrived there, the Duke and his wife were even there.
The Duke's face was thin and dry. He said, "These places must be cleaned. The Duke hates dirt the most. His coming this time is the most important thing for our entire manor. Oh my God, Lida hasn't come yet? Didn't I ask her to go to art class early in the next two days? Why hasn't she come in such a long time!"
The Duchess said, "Lida has been learning horse riding these days. She accidentally fell yesterday and is resting now. The prince will not come until tomorrow, so let her have a good rest."
The Duke's expression improved a little, and he said, "As long as Lida can marry the prince...we don't have to worry."
The Duchess also nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Lydia is so beautiful. The prince will definitely like her."
While speaking.
The Duchess said to the maid, "Send someone to the town to get the freshest honey water for Lida, so that she can take good care of her skin. This is the most important opportunity for us to get close to the prince!"
The maid nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am."
After giving these instructions, the Duke and Lady left.
Jian Yue and the others were listening in the back. It seemed that the prince must be very important to the Duke and the other two. Just as they were thinking about it, the maid came over and said to Jian Yue, "You, go to the south of the city and get some honey water!"
To be honest, Jian Yue didn't expect that this thing would fall on him.
The maid glanced at him. This man wanted to kill her last night, but today he seemed to be fine. She glanced at Jian Yue, who thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
In fact, he didn't even know where to get honey water in the south of the city.
Fortunately, the maid did not let him go alone. A thin man accompanied him. This man was originally a slave of the manor. He was a low-level servant named Sari.
Sari was a very taciturn man. If he hadn't made noises when he walked, Jian Yue would have thought he was dead.
When they were leaving the manor, a carriage happened to pass by outside, splashing some water. Jian Yue reached out and pulled Sari. Sari then looked at Jian Yue and said, "Thank you."
Jian Yue said: "No need, we will all work in the same manor in the future, and it is only natural for us to help each other."
Sarri showed a somewhat ironic smile, which looked ugly on his thin face. He said: "Maybe, if we could live longer, we should have helped each other."
Jian Yue grasped the key point sharply and asked, "What does this mean?"
Sari said: "The slaves in the manor are replaced every month, and each batch is bought from outside towns. Do you know why?"
Jian Yue felt a chill on his back. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Because of this town..." Sari stared at Jian Yue. It was dark, reflecting the figure of a man. He laughed softly, his voice a little creepy: "There are demons here, and they eat people."
Most people would be scared to death by now.
Jian Yue asked, "Then why are you still alive?"
Sari's expression froze, his thin face was covered with wrinkles. He looked at Jian Yue with an ugly face and said, "In this world, some people have to pay a lot to survive. I bet you won't live to see this batch of slaves."
Jian Yue didn't expect someone to say such an impolite thing as soon as they met. If it were a normal person, they would have been angry, but he said, "Are you reminding me that I have to pay some price to live?"
Sarri said nothing more.
The audience in the live broadcast room had some feelings:
“He’s so smart!”
“You can actually react so quickly!”
"But this is the first time I've seen Sarri actually take the initiative to help someone."
"Isn't this NPC always just killing people?"
The two men arrived at the town.
Sari ran straight to the place where the honey water was sold. The owner of the store looked young, only about 40 or 50 years old. When he saw Sari coming, he said, "Is this what the Duke wants to use? Wait, I have reserved the best honey!"
Two people were waiting outside.
There are many people on the surrounding streets, coming and going.
Moreover, Jian Yue discovered that the honey water here was selling in great quantities. There were many shops selling honey water on the whole street, and the owners of the shops selling honey water had sad looks on their faces.
Sarri asked: "What's wrong, you don't look well."
The honey seller said to Sari, "Oh my God, my daughter is ill. She had an attack last night and ulcers started appearing all over her body. I don't know how she is going to get through this!"
Sari whispered, "This is not good. If her condition continues, she will probably be executed by the bishops!"
The boss looked worried and said, "I hope she can get through this..."
Jian Yue was confused when he heard this. After he got the honey water, he lowered his head and asked Sari, "What does this mean? What disease is this?"
"It's a curse on this town." A solemn expression emerged on Sari's face. He said, "The young girls in this town are all cursed. They will suddenly become ill at a certain age, with festering all over their bodies and the roar of demons. In the end, they will start to eat people and die. They must be redeemed by the bishop before they can be saved..."
Jian Yue was shocked: "So scary!"
This is what really surprised him.
Jian Yue's eyes swept back and forth over the people walking on the street, and he soon discovered a very serious problem, that is, there were indeed very few girls on this street. Even if there were some, they were all sitting in carriages. Occasionally, some got off the carriages, and they were very beautiful only when viewed from the side.
"Isn't this town very dangerous?" Jian Yue asked, "Why would anyone be willing to come here?"
Sari smiled softly and said, "The Duke's territory is famous for being the most beautiful place. The honey water here has the effect of nourishing the skin and skin. Even the princes in the palace come here occasionally. With such a good thing, how could no one be willing to come?"
Jian Yue felt very strange. Every one of these things was strange.
Next second.
The system panel popped up, and the system's mechanical voice sounded:
[Dungeon name: "Rose Style: The Noble Prince's Beloved"]
[Player Identity: Manor Slave]
[Main Quest: Correct the world plot, find the secret of the devil town, and save the people cursed by the devil]
Jian Yue:?
No, what pet?
But the main quest finally appeared.
Find the secret of the devil town and save the people cursed by the devil. Who are these people cursed by the devil? Are they the seriously ill girls?
Jian Yue was a little hesitant. This main mission was not easy to accomplish. Firstly, he was just a low-level slave and had almost no chance to come into contact with these people. Secondly, this demon curse inexplicably gave him a chilling feeling, and he always felt that the secret behind it must be quite big.
Just thinking about it.
The two people were about to go back with the honey water when they saw a line of carriages in front of a clothing store not far away.
Jian Yue said: "Business here is pretty good."
Sari chuckled and said, "The noble Lord is coming. The Duke will definitely hold the most grand ball in the manor. The ladies and gentlemen in the town want to present themselves in the best manner. If they can win the favor of the Lord, they can be said to soar to the sky from now on."
Jian Yue had heard the title of Lord Wang Jue countless times today. He asked, "Is Lord Wang Jue very powerful?"
Sari looked at Jian Yue with an expression that said, "Do you know what you are talking about?" He said sarcastically, "You are just an ignorant low-level servant from some remote place. Don't you even know the prince? The prince is the first heir to the royal family. His mother only has two children, him and Princess Daya. In the future, our entire country will belong to him."
Jian Yue was shocked. Doesn't this mean he is a prince?
The mouth of the pit is turbulent√８
That's so authoritative.
Seeing Jian Yue's expression, Sari said, "I advise you not to even think about it. Only high-ranking male servants can serve the prince. Low-ranking servants like us may not even be able to see the prince."
Jian Yue said: "It doesn't matter to me whether I meet him or not. I have no interest in you, Lord Prince. I just want to survive well in the manor."
The way Sari looked at him changed. He didn't know whether he thought Jian Yue was too tactful or he thought he was a loser. This complicated feeling prompted him to remain silent for a short while.
It was already afternoon when the two returned to the manor.
The manor seemed particularly quiet in the afternoon.
It was too quiet. When he came back with Sari, he could still see the iron pillar where someone had been stabbed to death that morning, but the bloodstains were gone. It must have been cleaned up by someone. It looked as if nothing had ever happened. Only people with a very sensitive nose like Jian Yue could smell the faint smell of blood.
They returned to the manor.
The maid was already standing at the door. As if she knew the two would come back, she took the honey with a cold face and said, "It's too late."
Sarri explained: "The boss's daughter was sick, so she had to wait a little longer."
The maid showed a bit of fear when she heard the word "outbreak". Her dark and gloomy eyes swept across Sari and Jian Yue's faces, as if to confirm the truth of this sentence. After a long time, she said: "I know, since you have been in contact with the boss, go and wash up. You don't need to come in the afternoon. Miss Lida doesn't like these."
Sari nodded.
Jian Yue was just thinking about going back to his room to sort out the information he had obtained today.
The maid glanced at him with some displeasure and said, "You go to the stable with Sari and let him teach you how to raise a horse this afternoon. The Duke doesn't like slaves who are too clever, so you'd better not think about being lazy!"
Jian Yue said: "Okay."
Wait until she leaves.
Sari said to Jian Yue: "Oh, she likes you very much."
Jian Yue was a little surprised: "How did you know that?"
You know, yesterday this man was standing at the head of his bed with a machete and wanted to kill him. Wouldn't you be furious when I tell you this?
But later he did not let her continue reading the book, mainly because he did not want something to really happen and someone to really die in front of his bed, which would prevent him from sleeping well. Could it be that because of this incident, the maid treated him better?
Surrey said with that thin face: "You will understand in the future that being in the stable is actually a kind of happiness. Although being in the stable means that you are destined to be a low-level servant and stay away from the Duke, and you will never have the opportunity to meet a noble person like the Prince, but sometimes it is not a bad thing if you don't want much, especially when you are so handsome."
Jian Yue immediately said: "I don't want to marry a noble, Sally, I have never had such an idea. Those powerful people have no meaning to me. Whether it is a duke or a prince, I am not interested..."
The two of them were talking at the door.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.
The two men turned around and saw a long procession slowly approaching from the distance. In the front was a very large carriage, which was magnificent. There was a coachman in the front and several men in suits who were obviously high-ranking butlers following behind. The carriage slowly stopped at the door. It was a very grand scene, and there were even some guards behind it.
The maid at the door was stunned.
The leading senior male servant said, "Inform the Duke that our master has arrived and have him come out to greet him."
The maid was obviously stunned, then hurried to the back to call for help.
Then, Jian Yue heard a deep and powerful male voice coming from the carriage: "If you can't cure her, I will make you buried with her!"
The sound shocked everyone.
After a while, the curtain was opened, and a very tall man in a gold and blue suit came down from the carriage. The servants around the man immediately came over to take off his outer robe, and some even knelt down to tidy up his clothes. Everything was in order. The senior male servants surrounded the man in the middle. The man in the middle looked noble and had a very strong aura.
From a distance, Jian Yue looked over and happened to meet her gaze. He was stunned for a moment and then looked away.
He paused and said to Sari, "But the words come out again. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Do you know how to serve the prince?"
Sari: ?
His expression was so shocked that the audience in the live broadcast room laughed out loud:
“Hahahahahahaha!”
"Not you buddy?"
"There are only two words in Butler Wang's dictionary: forget your roots!!!"
