Chapter 31: The Dragon
"People... Mankind? ”
A lot of surprise sounded from Liao Qi's side.
At this moment, this manservant, who was facing him, was already a little old and slightly old, and asked cautiously:
"You... You are the one who was summoned to come down last night at the banquet of the eldest lady..."
"Yes, yes, that's me."
Liao Qi didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Hug, sorry! Lord Liao Qi, I didn't react for a while, it's too disrespectful! ”
After the elderly manservant learned Liao Qi's identity, he immediately knelt down and apologized for his initial disrespectful behavior.
Erin, as the daughter of the head of the blood clan and the eldest lady of the entire castle, has a very high status in the hearts of all the servants.
Naturally, as a member of his family...
Although Liao Qi is the most inferior and fragile human being, he is still much higher than them in terms of identity and status, and he is a big man who needs to be admired.
Seeing the frightened appearance of the elderly manservant, Liao Qi hurriedly waved his hand and pulled the other party up from the ground.
"No need to do this, I just happened to see you idle here, so I came over to say hello."
"By the way... There's also a little thing I want to ask you about. ”
was treated so politely by Liao Qi, and the elderly manservant became more and more unnatural.
After listening to Liao Qi's words, he hurriedly shook his head and said with horror on his waist:
"Liao, Lord Liao Qi is serious, how dare you be consulted by you, I, I..."
In a hurry, it was even a bit of a preamble.
The old manservant was trembling and completely nervous to speak.
Hiss...
Unexpectedly, in his opinion, a very ordinary sentence, in the eyes of the other party, had such a big reaction, Liao Qi was a little speechless.
Still a little...
Don't you fit in with the world...
The information about the "backpack" is very important to him, and in order to ensure a smooth conversation in the future, Liao Qi had no choice but to change another tone.
"Why do you talk so much?"
"So, if I ask something, you will tell you everything you know, do you understand?"
"Compliance... Yes, Lord Liao Qi. ”
After being forced by Liao Qi in an order-like tone, the elderly manservant in front of him seemed to be relieved, and he no longer had the initial panic.
This made Liao Qi a little emotional, but he didn't say anything.
For yourself, as long as you can effectively obtain information, it is enough.
"Let me ask you, is there any of you servants who can know a little bit of sewing and weaving skills?"
"Sewn... Sewing? Weave? ”
The old manservant opposite, even these two terms, seem to be a little unfamiliar.
Liao Qi was helpless, so he had to immediately change his statement.
"That is, do you know how to mend clothes, do needlework, knit socks or something?"
"This..."
After Liao Qi's explanation, the old manservant understood it, but the wrinkles on his face increased all of a sudden.
Seeing this, Liao Qi immediately added another sentence:
"Don't worry, I'll give you time to remember it carefully and carefully."
There were many servants in the construction site, and almost half of the people on the first floor of the ancient castle were all summoned.
And Liao Qi will choose this old manservant from among them, and a large part of it is that he values the qualifications of the other party.
Since you've been in the castle for so long, you must know more than the other minions, right?
Liao Qi secretly looked forward to it in his heart, but the reality is not always so beautiful.
I saw that after a long time, the old manservant didn't even say a word except for the more and more sweat stains on his forehead.
"What? I don't know, or rather..."
"Not even one?"
This time, the unhappiness in Liao Qi's tone was serious.
As if stimulated by this, the old manservant didn't dare not speak, and he hurriedly said:
"Like this... This kind of advanced skill, we servants, few have learned, and all the fabrics and silk fabrics are purchased from the academy. ”
After waiting so long, you have to have one?
The old manservant's words undoubtedly disappointed Liao Qi.
Unexpectedly, the other party's voice changed again.
"But to say that in the whole castle, in terms of ingenuity, the best thing to do should be... Madame, huh? ”
"Ma'am?"
Liao Qi raised his eyebrows, a little incomprehensible.
"It's Miss Eileen's mother, the head of the family, Baron Will's wife, Lord Alyssa." The old manservant hurriedly explained.
"Huh?"
This time it was Liao Qi's turn to make a surprised sound.
"Erin's mother?" He repeated it aloud.
"Yes, but Lord Liao Qi, the main mother... She had already been in that accident ten years ago, and she was... Fallen. ”
The old manservant's voice became quieter and quieter, as if he was afraid of being heard by the people around him.
The accident ten years ago was a taboo for the entire Blood Clan Castle, no one wanted to, no one wanted to be mentioned again, if it wasn't for Liao Qi's questioning, the old manservant would never say it.
On the other side...
Die.. He's dead?
Unexpectedly learned such news, which made Liao Qi a little shocked.
But when you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Whether it's at Erin's birthday party or the summoning ceremony, there are only tuxedo men.
He'd never seen it, and he hadn't been mentioned by any of the demons, Erin's mother.
After the old manservant said this, Liao Qi understood that this was the case.
The sense of astonishment in his eyes was fleeting, and Liao Qi didn't care much about other people's family affairs.
What he cares more about at the moment is still looking for clues to the "backpack".
"Except for Madame, there are no other servants, or members of the Bloodline, are they good at this?"
Liao Qi asked again without giving up.
He thought that there should be many maids who would master basic manual work such as sewing and weaving.
But now listening to the tone of the old manservant, it seems that this kind of simple skills and knowledge have become "advanced skills" on their side.
"Our minions, as far as I know, are really gone, and as for the vampire adults, I... I don't know. ”
The old manservant replied in fear.
At least judging from the expression on his face, it doesn't look like he is perfunctory to Liao Qi.
However, trembling, for fear that Liao Qi would blame himself again, the old manservant racked his brains, and finally told him another interesting information.
"According to... It is said that during her lifetime, there was also a family member like you. ”
"If you want to ask something more, maybe... It will be more rewarding to ask that family member. ”
What the?
If the vampire who is the master dies, won't the clan disappear with him?
Liao Qi's heart jumped, but he could quickly guess that maybe this was something that the old manservant in front of him didn't know at all.
So he didn't rush to question it first, but followed the question.
"Where should I find this family member in your mouth, is it also in this ancient castle?"
"No... I don't know, since the death of my wife, I... We've never seen it again, all I know is that the race of that Dependent-sama is, yes, it's..."
"Dragons."
After the old manservant spat out the word, a deep awe from the depths of his heart crossed his eyes.
