Think about it, in broad daylight, a person was killed by another person grabbing his head against a wall, and he was also killed by a maid's nose, and it was even considered suicide at one point.

In the process of hitting the wall, old John cried in despair, but the maid simply thought that it was because he had been whipped.

Such a scene makes people's scalps chill just thinking about it.

Count Derek panicked, and he moved his steps quietly, allowing himself to stand between the three captains of the guard: "Since someone killed Old John, why can't Lorna see the murderer?" ”

Lilith casually threw the blade on Old John's corpse, stood up, took off her leather gloves and handed them to the captain of the guard on the side: "It's very simple, because the murderer is not a normal person, but a monster." ”

"Monsters?" Count Derrick's face turned pale.

"Yes, monster, a monster that can hide itself in the sunlight. There are several such monsters, but each one is very dangerous and very difficult to deal with. Lord Earl, I will contact the Academy immediately and send additional personnel to protect you. ”

Lilith's tone was light, there was no fluctuation at all, it seemed that no matter how powerful the monster was, she didn't pay attention to it.

In a panic, Count Derek didn't notice this, and all the thoughts that were spinning in his mind were all about how to save his life.

After a dozen times of various thoughts back and forth, he spoke: "Lilith, I promise that as long as the academy can help me catch this monster, I will donate 20,000 yuan to the academy every year for free..... No, 30,000 gold dragon coins, until I die. ”

Lilith nodded, "I'll relay your meaning to the Academy." Alright, let's take the old gardener's body and bury it first. ”

Count Derek gestured to one of the captains of the guards, who carried the body of old John down, and said to the maid Lorna, "Go, bring a bucket of water, and wash the blood well." ”

"Yes." Lorna trembled and went.

Lilith walked towards the staircase, Count Derek hurriedly followed, he was very frightened, walked a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Linde, did you say that this monster is still in the Blue Moon Mansion?" ”

"It should still be there, it's very likely that he is hiding somewhere in the mansion, in a certain room."

"......" Count Derek sweated on his forehead, "will it sneak into my room and assassinate me?" ”

"There's a good possibility."

"Huh?!" Derek almost fainted.

A hint of disdain flashed in Lilith's eyes: "But he can't kill you." ”

"Why?"

"Because of the dark silver necklace I gave you. This necklace, you must wear it closely, no matter what the situation, you can't take it off. It can save your life at a critical moment. ”

Count Derek subconsciously touched the necklace around his neck, and his heart settled down a little: "Don't worry, I will listen to you." Oh, by the way, can you get the academy to send a few more people, preferably more than five, so that I can have peace of mind. ”

Lilith squinted at Derek, "Of course you can, but it comes at a cost. ”

Derek immediately patted his chest: "How much?" I'm just out! ”

I don't dare to say anything else, but money, how much he wants, and in the entire Cowell Kingdom, there are few people who are richer than him.

Lilith's face became colder and colder: "It's not a matter of money, or rather, the small amount of tens of thousands of gold dragon coins is not enough...... Okay, the academy will send it

Someone came to help, you can relax, as long as you listen to me and do what I say, no one can hurt you! ”

Earl Derek was skeptical, but the horrific news of Old John's death greatly irritated him, and he had some to say to Lilith

thoughts, but now, in the face of a terrible reality, his desires were temporarily suppressed into the depths of his mind.

The other side.

Rosen calmly returned to the glass flower room, crouched next to the flowers and continued to weed.

As he was earnest, he suddenly heard a soft 'click' in his ears, and the sound came from the direction of the cabin in the depths of the glass flower house, and it was sent by Linnaeus, a naturalist.

Rosen moved slightly: "This Linnaeus looks young, he has a clear grasp of the habits of various plants and fungi, and he can manage such a large flower room, and he is really talented." ”

At this moment, Rosen suddenly heard a very low and very low voice from the depths of the flower room, the voice was like a whisper, and he couldn't hear the content.

"Strange, Linnaeus should be alone in the room, how can there be a voice?"

He had the intention to investigate in the depths of the flower room, but he was afraid that Linnaeus would find out and cause unnecessary trouble, so after a little consideration, Rosen decided to investigate.

'I really think I'm a gardener, why are I so careful?' ’

Thinking so, he moved quietly in the direction of the cabin while weeding, and after about 3 minutes, he was less than 10 meters away from the cabin.

The whispering voice before became a lot clearer.

Rosen listened intently, vaguely hearing something.

"You're such a madman! Lunatic! ”

"What do you know...... I'm just going to make him completely desperate......"

"Don't you want to die? That one....... Strong ........."

"No, you...... Wait, there's someone out there! ”

"It's rare and weird, it's a new gardener, weeding."

"Oh~ let's talk softer."

After that, Lawson couldn't hear anything, but from what he had just heard, it was enough for him to deduce many clues.

"This Linnaeus is really not simple, but I don't know who the other person in the wooden house is?"

"Forget it, I'll wait and see what happens."

Thinking of this, Lawson quietly walked away from the cabin.

Time then returned to peace, and John Sr.'s death was soon forgotten, except for Rosen.

Without Old John, he had to fertilize the flowers in the flower room, water them, prune the branches, and from time to time complete the tasks assigned to him by Linnaeus.

Except for lunch at noon, he basically stayed in the glass flower room all day long, so during the meal period, it was also the only opportunity for Lawson to learn about the recent situation of the Blue Moon Mansion.

Fortunately, he knows the cook Harley and Anna, especially Anna, who is a big mouth, loves to inquire, and loves to show off, she can always be the first to inquire about what happened in the Blue Moon Mansion.

Through Anna's description, Rosen knew that there was another male magician in the mansion, named Green, who was a two-star magician. This magician's shelf was much smaller than Lilith's, and he was very cautious, keeping watch by Count Derrick's side twenty-four hours a day, even following him to urinate.

After four days of peace, the shadow of John Sr.'s death was completely gone.

On the fifth day, Harley, the kitchen lady, came to the glass flower room, she found Lawson, and said with a smile: "Young man, the white roundhead mushroom should be ripe today, right?" ”

Rosen was stunned, but he quickly reacted: "Yes, it's ripe, what's the matter, does the earl want to eat it?" ”

Aunt Hallie smiled: "Where, the Earl is going to have a banquet, a banquet for the magician." This white roundhead mushroom is the finale of tonight...... Tsk, the roundhead mushroom in winter, this is the only one of Nilogaard. ”

Lawson was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Lord Earl seems to be in a good mood today?" ”

"That's right. He's now starting to circle around that pretty Miss Magic again. When that beautiful girl agreed to attend tonight's banquet, didn't you see how excited the Earl was, tsk, I have been in the Blue Moon Mansion for 10 years, and I have never seen the Earl so out of shape. ”

Hearing this, four words came to Rosen's mind: 'Relapse'.

He thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Then you wait a moment, and I'll go and ask Linnaeus as the chief manager. ”

"Go, go, go." Aunt Hallie waved her hand happily.

Lawson went to the innermost cabin of the Flower House and repeated Aunt Hallie's words to Linnaeus.

Linnaeus smiled faintly and said gently, "You take her to pick it." Remember, pick the big, round, pinkish-white roundhead mushrooms, which taste the most delicious. ”

"I see."

Rosen returned to Aunt Hallie's side, and took her to the corner of the mushroom room, and according to Linnaeus's words, he specially picked the large, round, and slightly fleshy pink round-headed mushrooms to pick.

Aunt Hallie liked it and praised it repeatedly: "Ah, Mr. Linnaeus is amazing, I have never seen such a beautiful round-headed mushroom in my life." ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Linnaeus is amazing." Rosen casually chimed in.

After picking about half of the blue roundhead mushrooms, Aunt Hallie said, "Enough is enough, enough for tonight's banquet." Rosen, I'm really bothering you, I'll bring you meatloaf next time. ”

"Thank you, Auntie."

Harley, the cook, walked away with roundhead mushrooms.

After Lawson saw her leave the flower room, he picked up the big scissors and continued to prune the flower branches.

On the surface, he was no different from usual, but in his heart, he couldn't help sneering: "Derek, Derek, I want to see if you can survive tonight!" ”

Something big is bound to happen tonight, but fortunately, he has made a lot of preparations these days, and now when it comes to the end, he can still be quiet.
