Chapter 280 I just need a personal servant
That feeling is amazing.
It was as if I was in a closed world of jelly. It was very quiet around me, so quiet that there was no sound at all. The walls and pictures around me were all white and unreal.
There seems to be no breath, no years, no time here.
There is only silence.
Everything is quiet and it seems like two different worlds when you look outside from here.
A woman's figure appeared outside, walking around in the narrow attic with a machete in her hand. From the angle of the mirror, only the hem of her skirt could be seen. The two people in the mirror space held their breath nervously.
Suddenly!
The woman turned around and looked in the mirror.
She walked over slowly and asked softly, "Huh?"
The woman slowly approached, and her face slowly enlarged in front of the mirror. The two people in the mirror froze, because when the woman approached, they saw that her body was covered with feathers, and her face was also covered with hair. Her eyes were scarlet, and she looked like a bird. Her hands were sharp claws, so sharp that they seemed to be able to tear a person to pieces in an instant.
When she approached, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
Qiyaya was also very scared and was shaking all over. Jian Yue was much calmer. After all, after experiencing the loss copy, he had even seen zombies with several heads, which was just an appetizer for him.
The moment the woman came closer, Jian Yue's breathing slowed down a lot.
Those scarlet eyes stared at the glass.
After a while, she snorted and slowly turned around and walked away. As she left, she muttered, "Where are you going? Don't let me catch you..."
As her figure disappeared into the attic.
Qiyaya breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Jian Yue, "I was really afraid that she would smell your scent. I didn't expect that the space would not reject you and wrap you up inside and hide you very well!"
Two people came out from the space reflected by the mirror.
Jian Yue felt like he was on a magical journey. He asked, "What's going on? Didn't they say I can't go in?"
Qiyaya said: "I don't know either. When she came in, I wanted to hide in the space, but I could feel that the door of the space was open to you, so I tried to pull you in. I didn't expect that you could really get in. You know, no one can enter the card spirit space except the card spirit and the owner of the card spirit. You are the first outsider!"
Jian Yue felt strange and asked, "Has it never happened before?"
Chiaya said: "I am sure there is no one, because when the master wanted to save others before, I tried to pull others in, but they couldn't get in."
Jian Yue said: "But I am not your master, and I don't have a card spirit."
Qiyaya sniffed Jian Yue's body again and said, "You know, little brother, I always feel that there is a strange smell on you, the smell of a card spirit. Only card spirits have this smell. The stronger the strength and level of the card spirit, the stronger the smell. But the smell on you is very strange. I can feel that it is very strong, very strong, the kind of smell that scares me, but I can't feel it specifically, it's very ethereal... Oh, I don't know what I'm talking about..."
Jian Yue also laughed and said, "But I am a living person. I am not a card. I have my own card."
Qiyaya said, "Maybe you have a card-passing spirit."
Jian Yue said: "How is this possible? I only drew it once after entering the dungeon world..."
As he said this, he suddenly paused.
There seemed to be some fragmented images in his mind that did not belong to his memory. Those images were fragmentary, and when he wanted to look at them carefully, he could no longer see them clearly.
Two people were talking.
Qiyaya said, "Let's go and take the mirror back quickly. The master is in danger."
Jian Yue immediately put his thoughts aside, and together with Qiyaya, he picked up the mirror and teleported back to the room. Almost as soon as they returned, the door was pushed open.
The woman still held the knife in her hand. She looked at the people in the house and asked slowly, "Where were you just now?"
Jian Yue said: "We are here."
The woman said, "He wasn't here just now."
"Oh, you must be too worried about your daughter." Jian Yue said, "I think poor Maria would be very sad if she knew that her mother cared about her so much and worked so hard for her."
When she mentioned her daughter, the gloom on the woman's face faded a lot.
"Oh, my poor Maria," the woman cried, "I have always wanted to go and see her."
Jian Yue said: "I'm going to the church now. Is there anything I can bring to you?"
The woman said quickly: "Oh, there is nothing left at home to give her. I can only pray every night for the blessing of the Lord God to be bestowed upon Maria. Oh, poor child..."
Her tears kept falling and she looked very heartbroken.
When she turned her head to the side, Jian Yue saw a red mark on her neck. She always felt that she must have seen such a red mark somewhere, like a birthmark. Jian Yue just secretly remembered it in her heart.
After two people came out of the house.
After Ji Xingle got on the carriage, he said faintly, "My entire back is covered in cold sweat."
Jian Yue was very calm and rational. Ji Xingle could only see him get on the carriage and drive it away. Just when Ji Xingle was about to praise him for being fearless and brave, Jian Yue began to mutter: "Finally out, finally out, damn, so scary..."
My hands are shaking.
Ji Xingle: “…”
So all this calmness and composure is just an act!!!
The carriage finally stopped at the corner. They were going to have lunch nearby before going to church. They were very tired this morning and would be very hungry if they didn't eat something, because they left the manor very early in the morning and didn't have breakfast.
Jian Yue and Ji Xingle found a tavern nearby. The cost of living there was not high. They pooled their money to buy two pieces of bread and ate on chairs outside. The servants actually had salaries, especially since the Duke's estate was naturally not too stingy. However, Jian Yue's money was used to pay the guards, and Ji Xingle's money was used to buy medicine, so they could only eat dry bread.
Fortunately, the store provided free water, so their lunch was not too miserable.
Ji Xingle said, "Qiyaya, you should eat some too."
Qiyaya came out of the card. Ji Xingle had to share half of his own bread with Qiyaya. Jian Yue looked at him curiously: "Do card spirits need to eat too?"
Ji Xingle said: "It depends on their personality. In fact, most card spirits don't need to eat. They come out of the cards and move around, absorbing the power of their masters to survive."
Qiyaya nodded and said, "Yes, but Xiaole likes to give me food, and I like to eat too. Human food is so delicious. Xiaole likes me, and I like Xiaole too!"
Ji Xingle began to cough violently. His face turned red from coughing. He said to Qiyaya, "Don't joke around."
Jian Yue rubbed his back, and seeing that he was coughing pitifully, he asked, "You used the power of the master to survive. Is this why you are like this now?"
Ji Xingle shook his head gently and said, "I have been in poor health since I was young. It has nothing to do with Qiyaya. I have been weak since I was young and cannot do strenuous exercise due to heart problems. In order to protect me, my parents did not let me go out too much. I have no friends since I was young and I don't have anyone to talk to. I am very lonely. It was the appearance of Qiyaya that made me the happiest."
Jian Yue was surprised: "You and Qiyaya have been together since childhood. Isn't she a card spirit?"
Card spirits only exist in the nightmare world.
Ji Xingle also knew that what he said was ambiguous, so he quickly said: "Qiyaya... Actually, it's the rag doll that has been with me since I was a child. I regard her as my only friend. I fantasize... that it can hear me talking, and I imagine that she can play with me. When I was sick, I also hugged her. I thought I was going to die, but who knew that I was pulled into the nightmare world. I drew the summoning card, and then Qiya appeared."
Jian Yue was very surprised.
Qiyaya smiled and said to Jian Yue: "It's amazing, isn't it, little brother? My life was given by Xiaole."
Jian Yue said: "It's amazing."
"Most of the time I appear, I use my own power." Qiyaya said: "The card spirits also have their own power, but they are divided into strong and weak. Some card spirits have been absorbing the spiritual energy of the copy world. If the master feeds them some rare treasures, they can upgrade very quickly. So I have my own power and can appear by myself."
Jian Yue said with emotion: "So that's how it is."
Ji Xingle said: "But I usually don't let her do that, because it would hurt her a lot. I hope she can be nicer to herself."
Qiyaya glared at him and said coquettishly, "I'm very powerful!"
Ji Xingle smiled and said, "I know."
Jian Yue was watching from the side, and the audience in the live broadcast room were also watching, and many of them started discussing:
"This card spirit is at least a gold card."
"The teleportation ability is indeed very strong."
"It's considered a relatively powerful summoning card in recent years, right?"
"It's a pity that the master is too weak, otherwise he would definitely be stronger."
"The strongest card is definitely the legendary top 1 card."
"There is no comparison. The combat power of that card rejects all the bells and whistles."
"A card spirit that is too strong will kill its master, and that person will not have a good ending, right?"
"How dare you discuss such things..."
The audience in the live broadcast room started discussing enthusiastically.
Jian Yue was completely unaware of this. He just treated Ji Xingle's story as a story. Everyone who could survive in the nightmare world until now had a story of their own, and he was only responsible for listening.
After dinner.
Ji Xingle said, "Are we going to church now?"
Jian Yue nodded, and the two of them drove the carriage to the church. There were many people coming and going in front of the church, and the thing that was never lacking here was believers.
This time the guard at the door recognized him: "Are you here to deliver a letter to the Bishop?"
Jian Yue said: "Yes."
"The bishop is in the church today." The guard said, "Follow me."
Ji Xingle could not go upstairs because he did not have an invitation token, so he could only listen to the leader, the person standing in the middle, and the others, teaching them how to show respect and pray for the Lord God's blessing to come.
Jian Yue followed the person in front of him upstairs.
The entire floor where the bishop was located was the one with the least guards. The man arrived in front of a door and said, "This is it."
Jian Yue said: "Thank you."
He thought of many possible appearances of the bishop, perhaps a white-bearded old man, or a serious middle-aged uncle, but he never imagined that Bishop Anthony was actually a very fat man who looked very kind and easy to talk to.
When I saw him.
Jian Yue said, "Hello, respected Bishop Anthony, I am here to bring you a letter on behalf of my master's sister, Princess Daya. Because this letter is very important, she asked me to give it to you personally."
Bishop Anthony said: "Oh, that's great. In fact, I have been waiting for your visit since I heard about this yesterday. How is your Royal Highness?"
Jian Yue answered honestly: "To be honest, it's not very good. Her illness is coming on fiercely, and she hasn't left the house in the past few days."
Bishop Anthony made a gesture and said with emotion: "Poor Highness, may the Lord bless her."
Jian Yue watched what he did.
The bishop opened the letter in his hand, read the contents of the letter and said, "I believe I can cure her. I should visit her in person tomorrow, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is the Flower Festival, which is the most important festival in the town. I am afraid I cannot miss it. This is really difficult..."
Jian Yue did his duty conscientiously: "If you have anything you want me to pass on to Her Royal Highness, you can write a letter and I will pass it on to her for you. I believe Her Royal Highness will understand."
"That's a great idea." Anthony put down the letter in his hand and said to Jian Yue with a smile, "You are a kind servant. I heard that you came here yesterday and visited the sick people in the church. Logically, outsiders cannot participate in the Flower Festival. I thought maybe I could mention it to your master, the Duke, and ask you to come as well. Have you seen the flowers in our town? They are very beautiful, aren't they?"
He was obviously smiling, but Jian Yue felt a chill behind him.
at the same time.
The system panel pops up:
"Trigger limited-time mission: [The Secret of Flowers]
Mission details: Where do the beautiful flowers in Devil Town come from? What secrets do they hold? Find out at the Flower Festival!
Mission time limit: 72 hours. "
Jian Yue had actually wanted to investigate this so-called flower for a long time. During the Flower Festival, people had to go out to the streets, and servants generally did not have this opportunity. The bishop took the initiative to invite him, and Jian Yue thought that either he was trying to curry favor with the prince and princess, or there must be a death condition at the Flower Festival, and he just wanted to kill himself to silence him.
Jian Yue met the protagonist's eyes, then smiled and said, "My pleasure, sir."
It was almost dusk when we came out of the church.
Jian Yue had been thinking all the way about how he was going to find out the secret of these flowers. When he passed by the center of the church's royal court, he saw some people from the church sitting by the garden reading in the distance. This immediately sparked Jian Yue's thoughts.
Since this flower is only found in this small town, it must have a long history and be recorded.
He might as well go to the library to check, maybe he can find the record of this kind of flowers. Anyway, Miss Lydia also gave flowers to Chris yesterday, and he has memorized the appearance of the flowers. If he really tries to find them, it should be relatively easy.
Ji Xingle was waiting for Jian Yue after listening to the teaching not far away. He quickly whispered, "Here."
Jian Yue walked over to him and said, "Have you finished listening to the sermon?"
Ji Xingle nodded, his face pale as he smiled: "It's mainly about promoting the greatness of the Lord God, nothing else. To me it feels like a class. If it were someone else, they would have brainwashed me. I've been alone since I was a child, and I've heard a lot of chatter. I can basically immerse myself in my own world without being disturbed."
Jian Yue couldn't help but praise this talent. He said, "Do you know where there is a larger library nearby?"
Ji Xingle said quickly: "It's in the church. When I was preaching just now, most of the believers in the church could borrow books from the library. This demon town probably only has such a library."
What he said makes a lot of sense.
Jian Yue didn't know when he would be able to come here next time, so he said, "I want to go to the library to see if I can find some clues. Can you take me there?"
Ji Xingle said: "It should be this side."
The two walked towards the library.
There were quite a few people along the way. The church actually occupies a very large area. Part of it was for the church members to live in, and another part was for the residents of the town, as well as some scholars and literati who came here because of its reputation.
Jian Yue and Ji Xingle walked for a while and saw the towering tall castle in the distance. It was so big, but it was just a library.
They were almost there.
Ji Xingle started coughing softly again because of the breeze.
A lady who was about to go into the library not far away covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. She said in annoyance, "Oh, whose slave is this? How could he be so rude?"
Ji Xingle was so scared.
She was a very noble and beautiful woman. She lowered her eyes and glanced at Ji Xingle with some disgust.
"Mrs. Anthony, what's going on?" Sheriff Carl's voice sounded from the side. He asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Mrs. Anthony said to the sheriff, "Where did these people come from? I wonder if servants can go into the church library now?"
Before Karl could see who was who, he scolded: "You can't enter the church at will. Only members of our church can enter the library. How can you come in without permission? No rude slaves, come here!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Xingle and was about to scold him, but then he saw Jian Yue next to him.
Jian Yue smiled at him slightly.
Carl: “…”
The air was silent for a moment.
Jian Yue continued to laugh.
Carl: “…”
Mrs. Anthony asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Karl suddenly stuttered when he spoke. He thought about it and decided that the money he embezzled was not as important as offending the person in front of him. The most important thing was not to offend the lady in front of him.
then.
He looked at Jian Yue a few more times.
The audience in the live broadcast room all felt that something was wrong:
"I don't think Karl will necessarily protect anyone this time."
"Mrs. Anthony has more power."
“Yeah, it feels like the anchor is going to be in trouble this time.”
"If you get kicked out, it will be unlikely that you will be able to enter the library in the future."
Sure enough, after Karl thought about it, he said sternly: “Dear Madam, it’s okay, you two are not invited and cannot enter the library, now as soon as possible…”
Because he hadn't finished speaking yet.
A golden card has been refreshed:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Gossip: Mrs. Anthony did not go to the library to borrow books, it was all an excuse. She actually came to see Carl. There was a love letter from Carl in her bag. Sheriff Carl was originally a servant in the Anthony family. Who knows how this sheriff got his position? It's hard to guess~]
【Cooling time 12 hours】
“…”
After this piece of gossip was updated, the scene became quiet again.
Jian Yue spent some time digesting this news. First of all, Mrs. Anthony should be the bishop's wife. The bishop is Anthony, and Sheriff Carl was a servant of the bishop's family...
Thinking of this, Jian Yue's eyes swept back and forth between the two people.
So hard to guess...
Bishop, you have a really bad reputation. First, Carl embezzled your money, and then he put a hat on you. Carl is really a character!
This thought just came to my mind.
Karl's face was also green. He had never expected that Jian Yue even knew this. If he told anyone about it, he would be dead! !
Not far away, church guards came.
The guard asked loudly: "Mr. Sheriff, what do you want from us? Do you want to kick these two servants out?"
Karl’s face turned a little more colorful, he simply didn’t dare to look back at Jian Yue’s expression, and said to the guard with a stammer: “When did I say such a thing?”
The guard said innocently, "Didn't you just say that someone would come to catch the rude slaves..."
Karl said quickly: "What if I said that? But then again, they just want to read books, what's wrong with that? Everyone has the right to read books, don't you understand? Go and copy the scriptures a hundred times yourself!"
guard:"……"
It's such a sin to have such a boss.
The guard looked at the lady again and said, "Madam, you need..."
The lady who had been so domineering just now now looked a little weak. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I think Karl is right. Oh, I mean, it's great that you like reading. Come on, come in together. I love reading together!"
guard:"……"
The audience in the live broadcast room also laughed crazily when they saw this scene:
"The guard's life is so hard."
“Working life is also life.”
"The guards are probably trying to exorcise these two by now."
"The more I listen to gossip about the ghost circle, the more exciting it gets!"
Everyone entered the library together.
This place is very big. Mrs. Anthony, who was walking in front, was still a little uneasy. She didn't expect that such a thing would be known to others. Now she hated and feared Jian Yue in her heart.
She thought that it would be best to let people come to her.
So I walked along.
When Jian Yue was thinking about how to find the book, Mrs. Anthony asked, "Which house are you on duty at now?"
"Hmm?" Jian Yue replied, "It's the manor of Duke Black."
Mrs. Anthony said, "How about you come to my side? I just happen to be in need of a personal male servant."
Jian Yue replied politely: "I'm afraid I need to ask my current master's opinion."
Karl quickly winked at Mrs. Anthony, the current owner was a prince, who was not someone they could afford to offend!
Mrs. Anthony smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Your master will definitely give me this favor. I'll send someone to write a letter to him. You can follow me from now on, okay?"
