Volume 1 First Arrival in the Game World Chapter 18 The Duke and the Maid
The empty corridors, there are no servants or guards in the mansion, and even the murals on the walls are very weird, most of them are related to vampires~!
On the left wall hangs an oil painting of a vampire sucking human blood, and Lu Xiaoyun has straight hair.
Thinking of what York said before, Lu Xiaoyun felt a little panicked? Although it was in the game, this weird environment and terrifying atmosphere made his little heart pound.
There was silence all around.
The footsteps of Lu Xiaoyun and York echoed around, and the originally small sound seemed a little harsh at this moment.
"Beware, my dear friend~~! The Scarlet Earl should be in the front room! York looked a little nervous, looking around from time to time, looking quite cute, but unfortunately Lu Xiaoyun, who was nervous at the moment, didn't see it.
Although Lu Xiaoyun accepted the task of escorting York home, he did not encounter any difficulties along the way, and even the escorted York saved the lives of him, Shangguan and others. Lu Xiaoyun thought that he could complete the task so peacefully, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid he is a little naΓ―ve, at the last moment, the monster that has not appeared is finally about to appear, and it must be extremely powerful.
Looking back at York's nervous appearance, Lu Xiaoyun complained frantically in his heart, if York can't handle it, he is simply a food deliverer, is this escort task really something he can take at his level?
At that moment, the door in front of them suddenly opened on its own. Lu Xiaoyun saw that on the chair in the middle of the hall, a handsome or bewitching man wearing a red tuxedo and long pink hair was sitting upright, looking at them with interest.
The pink-haired man holds a goblet filled with an unknown red liquid.
"There really are vampires in this world~!?" Lu Xiaoyun gasped, looking at the pointed ears and scarlet eyes of the man in front of him, which was exactly the same as the vampire in Lu Xiaoyun's imagination.
"Oh~! What a rarity! Do arrogant chicks also have a time to return home~~? Hey~? ...... Strange, is that your companion? The pink-haired man, who was sitting high in a chair, spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, with a special magnetism.
The goblet slowly turned in his hand, and the red liquid inside the cup exuded a strange luster.
"Gollum~~!"
Lu Xiaoyun acted out a mouthful of foam fiercely, if York hadn't been on the side, he would have wanted to turn around and run away~!
The strange man in front of him exuded an inscrutable aura all over his body, but the moment he felt this breath, Lu Xiaoyun thought of a person, a terrifying existence that could make Lu Xiaoyun feel as if he was at the bottom of the sea just by looking at him - the blonde old man Hood he had seen before!!
The man in front of him is most likely also a strong man at the golden skeleton level.
"Nice looks, huh! You seem to have made good friends~~! As if sensing that Lu Xiaoyun was observing him, the pink-haired man looked at him, his eyes seemed to reveal a faint dark aura, and he only heard him say: "Is it an adventurer from another world?" It's really a strange thing~, so Yu can't help but want to explore it! β
"~!" I'm not a thing~~! Wrong~~!! I won't be treated as a guinea pig, Lu Xiaoyun's expression changed. He wanted to hide behind York, but he was a little thin-skinned and embarrassed to do so.
"Hahaha~~! I didn't expect it! In front of you is my best friend from my previous life~! Although he has not yet recalled the memories of his previous life, but because of the attraction of power, we are finally reunited, and if we gather the strength of the two of us, we will definitely be able to destroy you, and your end has come, Scarlet Earl York! York said loudly.
York's signature laughter rang in his ears, reminding Lu Xiaoyun of the first time he saw York in the dungeon.
It's a little nostalgic, though! Are you kidding? Lu Xiaoyun felt that his brain was trembling, the pressure on him from the man in front of him was too terrifying, even if he was a playhouse, he couldn't bear it, in the face of this terrifying pressure, Lu Xiaoyun was worried that the other party would accidentally use too much force and pinch himself to death. He didn't want to die here for no apparent reason.
"Oh! Excellent! Yorkie, your enlightenment, Yu received! Heheha~! Then ......" The hall resounded with the laughter of the pink-haired man.
As soon as the two sang and harmonized, it felt the same as filming. However, for Lu Xiaoyun, who was caught in the middle, it was a little uncomfortable!
An unfamiliar voice came.
"Gui'an~! Lord Duke~! Miss York has just returned home, and she's brought back a friend after a long absence, so don't freak out the little ones! The pink-haired man's laughter did not stop, and a white-haired woman dressed as a maid walked in outside.
"Maid outfit?" There is a maid costume in this world? This was Lu Xiaoyun's first reaction.
And when Lu Xiaoyun saw her face, she couldn't help but marvel from the bottom of her heart, it was so beautiful, perfect beauty.
The woman in front of her is not as beautiful as a human being, she is wearing a maid dress with the main color of white, her long snow-white hair is naturally draped behind her, her eyes are light blue, and there is always a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Simply the perfect maid!!
Who is she? A maid in the York house?
"Oh? Is there something going on there, Your Majesty? Unexpectedly, the head maid, Lord Belfast, came here to see Yu in person! The Duke of York sat back in his chair and asked slowly.
Belfast said: "His Royal Highness the Duke is really like a god, His Majesty is calling you, please come over as soon as possible!" β
"Poofhaha~ You can come here just to serve His Majesty's will, is there a second reason~? Hum! Forget it, Your Majesty's will cannot be disobeyed! The Duke of York slowly got up from his chair, ignored Lu Xiaoyun and York who was about to move, and walked out of the castle.
But before leaving, he didn't forget to say to York:
"Looking forward to it~! York cub~! When I come back here again, you won't be so lucky~!! Hehe~~"
Hehe? Hehe, what a head!
I have to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, Lu Xiaoyun can roughly guess that these terrifying big names are probably not what players should encounter at this stage. Even if you can get a mission from them, you have to have a life to complete it!
However, why hasn't his escort mission been completed yet, does he really need to defeat the Grand Duke of York to complete the task?
What is the difference between this and looking for death, Lu Xiaoyun was speechless for a long time.
"Welcome home! Miss York~! Belfast ignored the departing Duke of York and said to York.
Then, she looked at Lu Xiaoyun with interest and said, "Gui'an~!" This adventurer~! A maid Belfast, it's a great honor to meet you~. β
She held the maid's dress in both hands and bent slightly towards Lu Xiaoyun.
Although he didn't use the system to investigate, Lu Xiaoyun understood that the strength of the woman in front of him was probably very terrifying, and judging by her attitude, it seemed that she was on an equal footing with the Duke of York, and she didn't expect to salute herself.
Because of the maid dress of the woman in front of him, the condescending Lu Xiaoyun happened to see the entire northern hemisphere, Lu Xiaoyun looked a little embarrassed, and couldn't help touching his nose~~~! He turned his head silently, but even he could hear his own heartbeat.
"Oh~~?" Noticing Lu Xiaoyun's reaction, the maid in front of her roughly understood something.
She wasn't annoyed either~~! Just frowned. It's okay to stay in the palace on a regular basis, and it seems that you will need to change your clothes next time you go out.
"Fool~! Hum~! β
York rolled his eyes at Lu Xiaoyun~, and looked at the maid in front of him with a complicated expression.
There is not much age difference between them, but it is like two generations of people, the maid in front of them can even be on an equal footing with her father, and she is still regarded as a child by everyone~!
Thinking of this, York couldn't help but feel a little low~!
"Miss York~! During your absence, Your Majesty misses you so much! She'd love to hear your adventure story~! The maid glanced at York and slowly withdrew from the Duke's mansion, but turned around and said, "Don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time~!" β
Lu Xiaoyun looked at the departing maid, her waist-length white hair was like snow, naturally scattered behind her, this back is so beautiful~~!.
"I've come back to my soul~!"
Turning around and looking at York's dissatisfied expression, Lu Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with some puzzlement.
"Nerd, hum~!" York didn't explain either, and sat on the side and lost his temper.
"Uh~~!" I just took on an escort mission, what's wrong.
York didn't say anything more, found a corner and sat on the ground.
"There are mountains in this world that you can't surpass even if you try your best~~! Talented people and untalented people are like being in two worlds~! Looking at Lu Xiaoyun, who was staying in place and at a loss, York smiled with relief.
"I'm afraid you don't understand this when I tell you~! All in all, my dear friend~! Thank you so much for saving me! You are an adventurer from another world, with a bright future and future, but you must also be careful, don't become someone else's pawn, and your fate must be in your own hands~! β
York smiled: "What am I talking about~?" I'm sorry for saying strange things to you~! β
Lu Xiaoyun thought for a long time, but didn't say a word. The meaning of York's words, he could roughly guess that the so-called lack of talent should refer to herself, but Lu Xiaoyun, who did not understand the situation, did not allow herself to speak indiscriminately, even if it was comforting, she couldn't say it.
"This is for you~! Since you have come to this world, you are already in the game~! No one can run away from it, and neither can you. But~~! With this, you may ......! Forget it, just take it as a thank you for saving my life! Hope it helps~! β
"Ding~!"
"Congratulations~! [Return of Destiny] has been completed, gaining 10,000 experience points and 100 points of prestige for the Imperial Royal Faction. Reward one [Miniature Crown]. β
took an item that looked like a small crown handed over by York, although he completed the task and got the reward, but there was a trace of sadness in his heart, looking at York who was sitting on his knees with his hands on his hands, Lu Xiaoyun walked over and sat next to her.
After sitting quietly for a while, Lu Xiaoyun saw the goblet on the arm of the Duke of York's chair, looked around, and found that there was no one else except York, he walked over curiously, picked it up and sniffed it.
There was no fishy smell, and it smelled like a cool sweetness, and Lu Xiaoyun thought it might be tomato juice.
Put the cup back where it was~! It's okay to smell it, but he doesn't dare to drink it~! Besides, who wants to drink the drink left over from an old man!
"Puff~~!! Ha ha~! β
York, who was originally a little low, couldn't help but laugh when he was amused by Lu Xiaoyun's behavior.
