(4.3 Second Update)

The stormy world has washed away, the raindrops on the eaves have not yet dried, and the noisy performance in the biosphere has arrived. Occasionally, you can hear the noise of crows cleaning up the battlefield and gnawing on the corpses, sucking the delicious taste of bone marrow, and then leaving carefree after a full meal.

In the busy kitchen of the Duke's Palace, Si Qi is skillfully preparing dinner, delicate knife work, exquisite carving, color matching, wearing the chef's pure white dress, almost reaching the level of fakeness.

Bai and Truss, as laymen in cooking, are drinking high-quality black tea at the table on the grounds of injury, competing in chess games and their respective interpretations of rules.

And I, in the duke's study, found an unsigned book: "Criminal Minds". Leaning on the sofa with a comfortable fur back, but absentmindedly flipping through it, when I focused my eyes on the book again, I found that the pages had been accidentally browsed into the one hundred and twenty-three pages of broken sentences, but there was no memory of the first half of the sentence.

The dismissed Duke's Court Guards, all of whom had happily chosen their favorite gifts, may now be reuniting with their families, telling stories that may never be forgotten, and even the embarrassment of being exposed and advocacy can be easily resolved in the shyness of drunkenness; Those who are already lying in bed may not be able to sleep for a long time because of the unexpected surprise. Pedestrians who were still on the way home were clinging to valuable antiques for fear of being snatched away, and they stumbled in a hurry and almost fell.

"Oooo

A sudden knock at the door interrupted my thoughts, and the figure who visited the Duke late at night made me a little curious, and the other three who were busy seemed to ignore it, so they could only jump off the sofa and unravel the mystery in their hearts.

"Hello, Count!"

The moment I opened the door, I was held high in the sky, and I struggled to maintain my balance in the space without a fulcrum, and the 'Queen of the Desert' after the rain was even clearer, exuding a dazzling light.

"Bowen!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got carried away when I saw the Earl, and I ask the Count not to be surprised."

After the warm scolding, I was put back in place, but it was a scary moment, but there was no sense of joy. All other procedures have not been disturbed and are still going on in an orderly manner.

"Mr. and Mrs. Serena, you really have a keen sense of smell, if it was Duke Duolu who pushed this door open, I think he would crush you Bowen!"

Bowen glanced at the duke's self-portrait in the banquet hall, and after being deceived by the beautification appearance, he said confidently: "It's okay, I'm very powerful!" ”

"If it's just to distinguish the earl's unique aura, we don't have that ability, but if someone guides us, it's a different story!"

Serena stepped sideways into the doorframe, and the magnified view was Omiritze's long-planned attack, knocking me to the ground, the only difference being that she didn't stick out her dry tongue and kiss me on the cheek. In the shaking sight, Sister Fei Li also took Xiao Yi's hand and walked in, Xiao Yi shyly waved to me, but I was suppressed and couldn't move, let alone make a superfluous response.

"It's really a good relationship!"

Stepping out of the kitchen, Si Qi grabbed Fili and Omiri Jie and brought them into the kitchen as temporary helpers to help make dinner.

"Then let's go and help too!"

Selina walked halfway to find Bowen indifferent, and turned around and dragged a reluctant Bowen into the kitchen.

"I don't know how to cook at all! Ah, Serena, you're a newbie too! ”

All the shouting arguments boiled down to the noisy kitchen, separated from the world that existed in its own right, and a long silence returned.

"Bell, are you alright?"

Xiao Yi, who bent down, stretched out his immature hand, and it seemed that there was no reason to refuse, so he tightened and floated up from the cold floor, but he didn't know the next steps.

"Ah, well, it's a little stuffy in the room, do you want to go out and sit outside?"

"Yes."

Following Xiao Yi, like a lost child, lost in the dark night designed for me, all the vigilant tense nerves became relaxed. The memory also spread back to the joyful hide-and-seek in the Earl's Court when he was a child, Xiao Yi always hid in the hollowed-out shell, but the ancient tree had led the memories that had been left there, and collapsed together under the ravages of the years.

"Bell, your face is so cold, is it hurt?"

I only felt a warm hand touch my cold heart, and the coagulated blood began to melt again, transmitting a faint heat. The 'Ring of Brightness' on Xiao Yi's index finger was particularly dazzling in the moonlight without dark clouds, a sight I had never experienced before.

"By the way, the support of this patronus is still worn by Bell. Bell always didn't know how to take care of his body and left himself in dangerous situations. ”

Xiao Yi lowered his head, as if he was a little self-reproachful. Twisting the ring set in his finger, but he couldn't shake its deep attachment. Wrapping his arms around his shoulders, he gently hugged Xiao Yi in his arms. leaning down in her ear,

"It's okay, you're the guardian of my life!"

I only felt a slight acquiescence slip through my chest, clinging to my heart.

"Now, Bell, Mr. Sitch should be waiting for us, and Sister Serena."

"Shhhh Five minutes, another five minutes. ”

"Huh? The Earl is such a fierce creature, which is completely contrary to the immature and lovely appearance! ”

After listening to Si Qi's story, Bowen put down the plate in his hand, looked incredulous, looked left and right, except for Princess Serena, who cooperated with him, everyone else was enjoying the unpalatable dinner.

"Wow! You've defined the Count as a creature! To be precise, the Count is completely a trusted messenger of death, but it is beyond the scope of death's control. ”

"Well, from what I have seen and heard in the past few days, the Count is an evil spirit that sneaks in the night, and if you are not careful, you will be pulled into the eternal abyss by him, repeatedly frying fragile souls."

Bai took Truss's words, it seems that they get along very well, and they already have the consciousness of teaming up, but superfluous words can't atone for me, it's more like a trial.

"Although the dim candlelight is an excellent time to tell about supernatural events, the deep meaning of the demon himself can only be evaluated as a humorous joke, and as for the desired effect, it is even more witty."

Pick up the glass of water in your hand, mix it with the stiff slices of meat, and drink it all like a date. The appetite seduced on the outside, but the essence is exaggerated and unbearable.

"Well, you're not some kind of predestined encounter!"

"Yes, Bowen and I were intercepted by the black-clothed envoys on the way, and I refused their kind advice, so the battle delayed our trip, and then we met the lovely princess Saya."

Selina said as she pinched Xiao Yi's face and showed it off to me. Xiao Yi looked at me shyly, and immediately lowered her head.

"The black-clothed envoy? It looks like we've had an unfriendly welcome ceremony, and we've just stepped out of the peace zone within the welcome post with all sorts of planned attacks. The long distance from the imperial capital may be a trap set by the enemy, since you have chosen to become a beast, then step on the hunter's shackles, use blood to rust it, and completely destroy its value! ”

"Outsiders must think that it is a rampant tone that does not know the height of the sky, but if it is the will of the earl, who can deny it? I wonder what kind of arrangements the Earl will have after that? ”

Bowen looked at me, expecting something to be recognized by me.

"If you invite the two of you to join now, I don't know if it's a timely remedy, but the ownership of the division of interests is mine, and I don't have to worry too much, at least I can guarantee that the part that the two deserve will not be embezzled."

"I wonder what the disastrous consequences of rejecting the Count's promise will be?"

After Serena asked, Si Qi took out a notebook and flipped through the evidence on it.

"In the shop dispute two months ago, Mr. Ji Fengmu refused the young master's almost perfect share, so a week later, someone saw a first-class rich man begging on the roadside."

"It doesn't sound like there's a reason for us to excuse ourselves."

"No, I don't dictate the choices of foreign powers, after all, my interests don't extend that far. The invitation of the two is only to avoid disagreements due to the uneven distribution of spoils on a certain day, reduce unnecessary conflicts, and safeguard the common interest. ”

"It's a good suggestion, and it can be assigned to the Earl's leadership, and it is indeed a learning management experience, so, should we sign an agreement?"

At Bowen's prompting, Sqi took out a crumpled piece of straw paper, and then lured the dancing candlelight, which turned into ashes with only cooking smoke in an instant.

"Promises that can only survive on paper can be torn up unilaterally at any moment, and in the lockers of the Earls' Court there are no other impurities except for the letters of appointment of the royal family. But there is no precedent for betrayal of the Earl's verbal promise, and of course the two may be the lucky ones to receive the first-class package. ”

"Since it's a gamble, don't make any bets, the outcome is already in the hands of others, and no matter how much you pray, you won't have the expected chance of winning. So, let's ask the Earl to announce tomorrow's mission! ”

Bowen took the lead in standing up, overturning the silence, and the others stood at the table. Waiting for my final verdict

The dawn after a deep sleep, the once dazzling pearl embedded in the shore of Lake Niros, boiled in a sea of more brilliant fire, but when the east wind blew away the embers, all the glory of yesterday was no longer reappearing.
