Chapter 78.
Tang En observed Conaway carefully. He said to Tang Yu in confusion, "I didn't notice any negative effects."
Tang Yu nodded and said, "There is no positive effect either."
Conaway's appearance didn't change at all, it seemed as if he had just had a meal.
"Hiss, this shouldn't be the case!" Tang En was puzzled.
"You guys go to the front hall quickly, leave this to me." Seeing that the two were still in the kitchen, Conaway impatiently urged them to leave.
Tang Yu was worried that Conaway would eat all the food here and didn't want to leave it alone in the kitchen.
She pointed at Conaway's dirty collar and said, "Sir, your clothes are dirty. It would be rude if you don't change them."
Conaway was reminded by her and noticed the stains on his clothes, and he hesitated for a moment.
Seeing that it didn't leave, Tang Yu couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with you?"
Conaway said casually: "I was going to put poison in the food, but my clothes are dirty and the dinner is about to start. It's too late now!"
Tang Yu and the others: "......"
Are all the weirdness in this copy so outspoken?
Is it really okay to just say this kind of thing?
Tang Yu was silent for a while and finally asked: "Why did you poison the food?"
She asked this question somewhat emotionally, after all, Conaway's behavior was an insult to her work.
Her food can be poisonous, but it would be too much if someone else poisoned it.
Conaway continued to speak the truth without realizing it: "Mr. Edward wants all the guests tonight to die here."
Tang Yu's eyes flickered, and he asked, "For Clarence?"
"Yes, it's all because they killed Lord Clarence. Mr. Edward must avenge his master!"
Tang En wanted to say that this was all Clarence's fault, and it was a bit too much for Edward to blame everything on the townspeople.
But seeing Conaway's firm attitude, he also knew that such a stubborn guy could not be persuaded.
Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "If you believe me, you can give me the poison and I'll do it for you. How about you go back and change your clothes?"
This proposal made Connerway very excited. He stared at Tang Yu with his cloudy eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"
Tang Yu nodded to indicate that it was more real than real gold.
Then Conaway confidently took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Tang Yu.
Tang En watched Conaway's departing back, and gradually came to his senses. He said hesitantly, "Is this the effect of the dish?"
Tang Yu nodded: "Very likely."
Otherwise it would be really hard to explain Conaway's sudden decline in intelligence.
However, she doesn’t know whether this effect is unique or random, and more experimental data is needed.
"Then what should we do with the poison?" Tang En pointed at the small medicine bottle in Tang Yu's hand.
It was a dark brown translucent glass bottle, half filled with white unknown medicine powder.
Tang Yu put the medicine bottle into his space backpack and said, "We cook conscientious dishes without adding those messy things."
Tang En nodded blankly: "Then I'll listen to Sister Tang Yu."
As the sun sets over the horizon, the gates of the castle open to welcome guests to the banquet.
At Edward's request, Tang Yu and the other four people who were distributing invitations were arranged to the door again. They needed to give each guest attending the banquet a copy of paper and pen.
Every guest who came to the dinner received a piece of paper and a pen. They accepted the items with a smile and behaved very politely.
Compared to the disgust he showed towards the castle a few days ago, he was like a completely different person now.
When it was completely dark, most of the guests at the banquet had arrived, and Tian Xun only had the last five pieces of paper and pens left to distribute.
They stood at the gate and waited for a while, but no guests came. They looked at each other with serious expressions.
The owners of the remaining five pieces of paper and pen are the five townspeople buried in the woods!
"What should we do? Will they not come?" Tian Xun asked his friends while holding the five pieces of paper.
Li Jia turned around and looked at the hall behind him, and whispered: "Those five townspeople are already dead. They can't come even if they receive an invitation."
Ning Xuanqing shook his head with a gloomy face and said, "The higher the difficulty of the dungeon, the more confusing the logic. If they really weren't going to come, Edward wouldn't have let us send the invitation."
Tang Yu looked outside the courtyard. The wilderness was pitch black at night. She said, "The dinner is about to start, but the five of them haven't arrived yet."
She didn't finish her words, but everyone knew that there must be something wrong.
Ning Xuanqing sensed it carefully, and her sixth sense skill did not give any warning.
"I don't know what the situation is at the moment, but everyone should be prepared and deal with unexpected situations at any time."
Several people were talking in low voices when a gentle and laughing voice sounded behind them.
"Are all the guests here?"
Everyone turned around suddenly and saw Edward appear at the door, looking at them with a smile.
This was their second time meeting Edward, apart from Tian Xun.
The new owner of this castle is most likely the ultimate boss of this C-level multiplayer copy!
Edward, who was standing in front of several people, did not show any aggressiveness except that his face was pale and he did not look like a living person.
It is handsome and young, with soft features, exquisite dress and very elegant manners. Apart from the fact that it is not a human, Edward is still quite mysterious and charming.
However, the more gentle and harmless such a being is, the more vigilant it makes several people subconsciously.
As Tian Xun was the personal male servant who had the most contact with it, it was natural for him to deal with it.
He swallowed and said, "Sir, there are still five copies that have not been delivered."
He did not explain why five pieces of paper and pens had not been sent out, and Edward did not ask any further questions.
It nodded and smiled, "I see. There are five of you, so I'll give one to each of you."
"Ah?" Tian Xun didn't quite understand what he meant.
Edward smiled again and said, "Don't you want to attend my dinner party?"
This means that it actually invited five people as dinner guests? !
Several people felt that something was wrong, but under Edward's gaze, they were unable to say no.
The long period of sleeplessness has made several people mentally dull to a very serious level. It is really difficult for them to do any deep thinking.
Can I accept this invitation?
Tian Xun subconsciously looked at Ning Xuanqing.
Ning Xuanqing's sixth sense still did not give any warning, and she boldly guessed that there might be no danger in accepting Edward's invitation here.
So she nodded at Tian Xun.
Tian Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and moved his left hand behind his back from the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Five pieces of paper and pens were distributed to five people in turn. Edward was very satisfied with this scene and invited them to the hall to attend today's dinner.
As the owner of the castle, Edward's ideas were implemented most quickly.
When the butler learned that the five people had become guests of the dinner, it no longer assigned them any work.
The other servants in the castle seemed to agree with this and treated them as guests at the dinner party.
Led by a maid, the five people went directly to the reception hall and mixed in with the townspeople.
The huge reception hall was decorated in an extremely luxurious style, with a dazzling crystal chandelier hanging overhead, a thick red velvet carpet spread underfoot, and exquisite tapestries on the walls.
A long banquet table was lined up against the wall, and the maids brought out the dishes and placed them on the table.
But the banquet hadn't officially started yet, so the plates were covered with silver lids.
Li Jia glanced at the scene on the dining table, poked Tang Yu's arm, and asked, "Boss, did you do all this?"
Tang Yu nodded. She looked at her work with enthusiasm in her eyes, and then looked at the townspeople who were in the reception room with love in her eyes.
They are all her dear diners!
Seeing Tang Yu's reaction, Li Jia felt that she was more eager to kill these people than Edward.
The process of the banquet was that the owner of the castle would first give a speech on stage, and then there would be a dance, accompanied by a sumptuous dinner.
The finale of the dinner was the election of the mayor.
The castle's former owner, Clarence, wanted to be elected mayor, but someone died and the election was aborted.
Now Edward wants to follow in his father's footsteps, but he is even more cruel than Clarence and actually asks the butler to poison the food.
Tang Yu also told this to his friends. They guessed that Edward's desire to become the mayor was fake, and his real intention was to avenge his father.
Otherwise, if all the townspeople were really poisoned to death, what would be the point of being a commander without any troops?
When Tang Yu and the other four had gathered the 100 guests, Edward walked to the center of the hall and prepared to give a speech.
The guests who were originally talking to each other all looked at Edward, waiting for him to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen..."
Edward's voice suddenly stopped. Tang Yu noticed that his gaze shifted a little. After realizing something, he turned around.
At this time, five figures appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall. Tang Yu recognized them at a glance. They were the five people in the woods!
The five Oliers killed by Clarence!
At the same time, everyone in the banquet hall noticed the five people who suddenly appeared at the door, but their strange reactions were very weird.
When Tang Yu and his companions went to the town to deliver the invitations, according to the stories told by these people, the four people including O'Neill had already died.
But at this time, the five dead people appeared in the banquet hall, and this group of people didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
Their expressions are too calm, even a little stiff and dull.
Li Jia was standing next to Tang Yu. She whispered, "Aren't these weirdos afraid of ghosts?"
Tang Yu: “…”
Butler Conaway walked over and said to the five people, "Gentlemen, do you have an invitation?"
It would be extremely rude to barge into the host's home without an invitation.
Oriel, whose wife was humiliated, Dave, who was bribed, and Willy, who was murdered, stood in the front, staring at Edward with resentful and fierce eyes.
"How dare you not send us an invitation?!"
Faced with the questioning, Edward was silent for a moment, and the bright hall became dim as the coldness continued to spread from the five people.
It seemed that Edward was being suppressed in terms of momentum.
Just as the atmosphere became increasingly depressing and gloomy, Edward suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Tang Yu and the others.
It said: "Your invitation was sent by these five people. If you have any questions, you can ask them."
This is clearly passing the buck!
