Chapter 2 Temporary Preservation of Lives
"Si!" Xie Liang got up from the red carpet, touched his red and swollen forehead and looked around: "...... What's going on? Where is this?"
Xie Liang felt as if someone had tripped over him just now, and then Xie Liang found himself inexplicably appearing on the red carpet.
There were silver candlesticks hanging on the four corners of the wall, the bright candle flame emitted a strong light, looking at the oil paintings on the wall, Xie Liang almost understood where he was.
"That invitation is actually not a prank?" Xie Liang's mouth opened slightly, and his eyes revealed surprise.
If, according to the invitation, the banquet before 12 o'clock at midnight will be at your own risk, what if the invitation is crumpled?
Thinking of this, Xie Liang's eyelids jumped unconsciously, in the face of this supernatural phenomenon, it was difficult for him to think of any good consequences.
"Da, da, da......"
The sound of fingers tapping on the table came from a distance, and Xie Liang followed the sound to look.
At the end of the red carpet, an old dining table sits in the middle of the castle, a silver candlestick sits on it, three white candles are slowly burning, and a creature wrapped in black mist sits at the end of the table and taps on the table.
"You're the first creature to dare destroy the invitation to Fort Gusnot. Two scarlet streamers lit up in the black mist, and the voice was full of majesty and thick questioning, "How do you want to die?
The creature in the black mist raised its head, two scarlet streamers stared at Xie Liang deadly, a strong sense of oppression came to his face, his heartbeat continued to accelerate, his chest tightness and shortness of breath, Xie Liang felt a sense of breathlessness.
"Oh, Mr. Twilight, please put away your coercion, I think you have something wrong!" a guy in a white mask and a tuxedo walked out of the aisle behind Mr. Twilight, his demeanor was elegant, rigorous, and his hair was unkempt and his perpetual upright body gave him a special feeling.
"Boglie, or Ruschuf?" Mr. Twilight raised an eyebrow, two scarlet streamers fluttering up and down, as he surveyed the tuxedo-clad man.
"Borglie, sir. With one hand in front and one behind the other, Bogret bowed slightly to Mr. Twilight, "You know, I'm not the same as Rushuv, a treacherous fellow. ”
"Whatever, it doesn't make a difference to me anyway. Mr. Twilight shrugged, full of unconcernedness, "I just want to know what the hell I'm wrong?"
Bogree didn't answer Mr. Dusk's question immediately, he slowly walked to Xie Liang's side, stretched out two hands to help him straighten his collar: "Sir, we are deeply sorry for the shock you received. ”
A pair of hands in white gloves carefully smoothed the folds on his clothes, Xie Liang looked at everything in front of him, his mood was like a roller coaster, just now he thought he was going to be killed.
"Mr. Twilight, there's no reason for you to kill him right now. Bogli straightened his body, and took out the invitation letter that was kneaded by Xie Liang from his trouser pocket with his right hand: "This gentleman is right to destroy the invitation, but the invitation tells me that he doesn't know the rules of the dinner at Castle Gusnott, and even the dinner party is comparable to this gentleman's purchase list!"
"That's right," Mr. Twilight nodded, waving his hand to pull Xie Liang over, "But Berglie, I think you know the first rules of Gusnott Castle, right?"
"The first rule of Gusnoth Castle is that the invitation sent out must be intact, and if it is damaged, the damaged person will be executed!" As the steward of Gusnott Castle, of course Bogre knows all the rules, "But Mr. Twilight, you need to be clear that the second rule of Gusnoth Castle is that you must not harm creatures who do not know the rules of the invitation. ”
"I know this, but I'm just an executor, and Justice Tuzhi has gone out to do business, so I only judge according to the first rule. Mr. Twilight left his seat, and on his left hand side, a circle of black mist tied Xie Liang and floated in the air.
I saw Mr. Twilight's right hand stretched out to him, and a hideous giant scythe slowly pulled out of the black mist, the narrow blade was cold and cold, and the black luster flashed on the sickle handle, coupled with Mr. Twilight's black misty body, he seemed to be a god of death walking in the world at this time!
"Hey, I don't know anything!" Xie Liang struggled frantically, and under the threat of death, he looked at Bogree in panic, "Help me! Mr. Bogree, I really didn't mean to destroy the invitation, really! ”
"I'm sorry sir, I'm just the steward of Gusnott Castle, I can't ask Mr. Twilight to do anything, and I can't interfere once the rules are enforced. Bo Gelie bowed slightly to Xie Liang, and he also said that he couldn't help.
"All right, four-legged creatures. Mr. Twilight raised the hideous black scythe in his hand high, and his words were full of indifference: "Life and death are just ordinary life, nothing is eternal, death is a fixed ending for everyone, and I am just helping you advance now." ”
Mr. Twilight's words echoed in the empty castle, and above Xie Liang's head was a black scythe raised high, no matter how Xie Liang struggled and shouted, Mr. Twilight's scarlet eyes were still unfazed.
He looked at Xie Liang coldly, his left hand pulled to the right in the air, and a black book stained with flames appeared out of thin air.
"According to the first rule of the castle of Gusnott: any creature who destroys the invitation shall be punished accordingly......! Punishment?" Mr. Twilight's last two words were heavily pronounced, and he frowned, as the enforcer of Gusnott Castle, he had to follow any rules written in the castle's law book meticulously.
However, Mr. Twilight clearly remembers the first rule in the Book of Castle Law that every creature that destroys the invitation to the castle must die...... It's strange how it turned out to be handed over to the judge of Tuzhi first!
"Congratulations! Closing the castle law book in his hand, Mr. Twilight put away the black scythe, and he turned to sit back in his place, "The newly adapted rules of the castle law book have delayed your death. When the dinner begins, it's almost time for Justice Tuzhi to return, and then we'll judge you again. ”
After explaining to Xie Liang, Mr. Twilight leaned back in his chair, his scarlet eyes gradually dissipating into the misty black mist, and he looked like he was asleep.
"Whew...... Huh...... Xie Liang breathed a sigh of relief, cold sweat wet his back, just now he almost thought he was going to be killed.
All this illusory plot like a fantasy movie is actually true, and he is just crumpling that strange invitation into a ball, and he will be executed by some strange rules!
The black mist tied Xie Liang and floated in the air, except for two legs that could kick twice, he didn't even have a chance to escape, and now Xie Liang could only hope that the judge could be kind, not like that Mr. Dusk.
"The dinner party started at twelve o'clock, and when I was brought into the castle, it seemed to be about half past six, which means that it was about seven o'clock, and it was only five hours before the dinner began. Xie Liang's mind was racing, and he wanted to seize everything that was beneficial to him.
Then, Xie Liang observed everything in front of him, and finally fixed his eyes on Bogree's body: "Mr. Bogree, can you come over for a moment?
"Yes, sir!" Bogre agreed to Xie Liang's request, and he walked slowly towards Xie Liang, his shiny black leather shoes stepping on the black marble slab, and a crisp sound echoed in the ancient castle.
"Mr. Borglie, who is the owner of this castle, and what kind of person is the Lord Chancellor?"
"You're asking an interesting question! There was a hint of a sly smile in his eyes, and Bogli was silent for a while, and it took about two or three seconds before he answered Xie Liang's question: "The castle has no master now, but I don't know if there was a master before that." But one thing you can rest assured is that Justice Tuzhi is very empathetic, and the probability of you being killed is lower than that of Mr. Twilight. ”
"Okay, understood, thank you, Mr. Boglie!" Xie Liang carefully remembered Boglie's answer.
From Bo Gelie's words just now, Xie Liang came to these conclusions: First, this ancient castle has existed for longer than Bo Gelie, and at present, who created the ancient castle Bo Gelie does not know.
Second, the Lord Chancellor of the Figure, which Mr. Boeglie and Mr. Twilight are talking about, is a talkative creature.
Thirdly, the rights of the castle are divided into three parts: Mr. Twilight, who enforces the rules of the castle's law, the chief justice who adjudicates whether the crime is guilty or not, and Boglie, who manages the castle.
Of course, the conclusion of all this is based on the fact that Boeglie did not lie to himself, and if Boeglie lied to himself, then all the conclusions would be different.
"Oh, that's right!" Xie Liang raised his head, as if he remembered something: "Mr. Boglie, who was Mr. Twilight talking about at the beginning?"
"Rushuv?" As soon as he mentioned this name, Boglie's voice couldn't help but raise a few decibels, his eyes narrowed slightly, and even looking at Xie Liang's eyes was not as friendly as just now, "Sir, you have too many questions, you better care about your own life first! It's better to ask fewer of such irrelevant questions." ”
With that, he turned and walked down the aisle from which he came, and his decisive action meant no turning back.
"It seems that Rushuv is a taboo for Bogree......" Looking at Bogree's figure disappearing into the darkness of the aisle, Xie Liang knew another piece of useful information, although this was based on Bogree's bad mood.
Yes, and one more offended......
Sighing, Xie Liang turned his head to look at Mr. Dusk, he was still the same old look, if it weren't for those two scarlet streamers, Xie Liang would even think that what he was leaning on the chair was a black mist.
"Now there is no one to talk to......" Feeling the quiet atmosphere around him, Xie Liang now regretted asking Bergrerushuv a question.
