"What?"
Bai Ling behind him was startled by him.
Cheng Shi said excitedly:
“Bai Ling, he mentioned the broker!
So is it possible that the guards didn't know who the dwarves were, but just recognized the ring?"
Bailing is not stupid and immediately understood what Cheng Shi meant.
If the guard hired the dwarves through a broker, he shouldn't know what the dwarves look like and who they are, at least, not all the details.
The dwarf in the servant's room obviously had no logical errors.
They even knew to kill the invading players to silence them.
Bai Ling's eyes widened suddenly, and she said in disbelief: "But...but the answer has clearly appeared..."
Fang Shiqing also echoed:
"Cheng Shi, there is never a second answer to the mystery of memory."
Haha, forbidden techniques have never appeared in the trial of [War], but didn’t we encounter them last time?
"I remember that the number cast by the clamp was... 5?"
When Xu Lu heard Cheng Shi calling her a clamp, she was extremely angry, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Fang Shiqing thought for a moment, "Yes."
“So this prophecy could be telling us that we still have another 50% of options.”
Cheng Shi looked at Xu Lu and said word by word:
"She scored 1600 points. The dice has 10 sides, and there are 5 points, which is exactly half."
"!!!"
Everyone was stunned, but no one objected because what Cheng Shi said made sense.
Moreover, as for the prophecy of [Destiny], no one knows what it means until the very end.
"But we don't have any other evidence or clues to find a second answer. Cheng Shi, there are too many people in the manor, and too many people have died. We are in a very passive situation."
"But at least we have time, don't we?"
Cheng Shi smiled, took a step forward and said:
"I thought of someone. Maybe she is one of the answers."
"who?"
Bailing followed closely, Fang Shiqing hesitated for a moment, and then pulled Xu Lu to follow.
Xu Lu was very reluctant to go with them, but Fang Shiqing held her tightly and she couldn't break free.
Obviously, Fang Shiqing still believed in Cheng Shi, and she didn't want Xu Lu to die.
But Xu Lu obviously didn't think so. There was also anger and sarcasm in her eyes when she looked at Fang Shiqing.
The once-tall thigh seems to have lost its mind.
The believers of [Time] are misleading people!
Cheng Shi led everyone away from the second floor and quickly began searching the manor.
The guests at the banquet did not leave and were still talking and laughing as usual, as if the Duke's lateness was a routine.
He ignored these brainless nobles and led everyone to quickly leave the banquet center and come to the original servants' room.
Just when everyone was confused about why he came back again, Cheng Shi looked at the ground at the door and laughed.
Fang Shiqing followed his gaze and found some fine sand under the threshold, with a shallow footprint left by someone.
"This is?"
Cheng Shi pointed at the ground and said with a smile:
“The dirt in the yard.
I had long thought that no matter who invited these dwarves and for what reason, when they found that they failed to show up at the right time and place, they would definitely come to check out what happened to these dwarves.
So I sprinkled a handful of fine sand at the door.
And now, you have also seen the footprints of a noble lady’s high-heeled shoes.”
Bai Ling finally got the idea this time. I don't know if she was just trying to cooperate or if she really didn't understand. She asked:
"What does this mean? Uh, the Duchess was here? The Duchess has something to do with that broker?"
Cheng Shi looked at her as if she were a fool. Before he could speak, Fang Shiqing beside him said thoughtfully:
“It shows that the Duchess is not as simple as we thought.
Cheng Shi said that she reacted strongly to the Duke's death, but since these dwarves were hired to assassinate the Duke, she should not be here.
If I have to say anything, it's that she knew the dwarves would come!"
"good!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said, "As a duchess, you have recently shown great interest in the dwarf circus from the refugees. This speaks volumes."
"What's the problem?"
"I have a guess, but I dare not make a firm statement until I find the Duchess."
Fang Shiqing nodded immediately and said, "Separately search!"
She quickly left with Xu Lu, who looked angry. Bailing came over secretly and whispered:
"Boss, you really won't hide this time?"
Cheng Shi smacked his lips and said with disdain:
"I can't hide anymore. I can't rely on you!"
Bailing smiled embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm too weak."
This sentence sounds so familiar.
Cheng Shi was suddenly stunned, and looking at Bailing's slightly apologetic face, his eyes softened a lot.
"It's okay, I'm the boss, I can help you win."
As he said this, he strode out of the room and began to look for the Duchess.
Bailing followed quickly, holding up her skirt.
It was not until half an hour later that they found the Duchess who was "out" on the path behind the manor.
Seeing the Duchess trying to leave in a hurry, the players decisively knocked down the guards around her and stopped her.
The Duchess looked at these strangers and asked angrily:
"Who are you? What do you want to do?
Are you crazy to attempt to attack the Duke's wife on Brooks' land, on the outskirts of the Duke's estate?"
Cheng Shi walked up to the Duchess and asked with a smile:
