The skin of the neck cracks apart as if it had been torn apart by the astonishing stretch, but it connects the ends with the astonishing toughness.

The butler's lower body was torn by a thick snake-like coiled body, and the fine scales scraped against the floor.

This scene made everyone's scalp numb, and Zhou Duan was also stunned, how did he get to the City of Hope, and the painting style of this world has completely changed.

Evil came to appear in front of Zhou Duan in time, and with a blow of the tiger's claw, he directly knocked the opponent's head away.

But the butler was apparently unharmed, and put his head back on his head, looking at the four men who were full of defense.

"I'm sorry, the sneak attack failed." As he spoke, he still spit out a tongue like a snake letter in his mouth.

"Legend has it that the butler of the Earl's Court is a half-orc, and I thought it was just a rumor." Fez was also a little frightened when he looked at the butler at this time, but he still had the momentum he should have.

However, in private, he transmitted to Zhou Duan and the three of them: "This old thing has been with us for so long, I'm afraid that the inside of the castle is controlled by him, and the other party is at least a high-level ruling existence, I'm afraid we are not opponents, find a way to slip away." ”

"Don't try to run away, I know the city guards are outside, but this place has been locked down since the beginning, and tonight I'm going to make this place hell, and everyone must die."

"Why?" Zhou Duan was a little puzzled, "You should understand, if you kill us, you won't survive." ”

"Huh." The butler let out a gloomy smile, just like the smile that Zhou Duan had when he first met Lloybe.

"I didn't want to live for a long time, from the moment my tribe was broken by humans, you killed my son, and we were sold into slavery by humans, everything I did was for today."

"This is an anti-believer who has fallen into darkness." Siya looked at the butler, her eyes full of hatred, "Just like Gu Ling and a few of their traitors." ”

"Auntie, don't be rash at this time, it's important to run for your life." Fez, afraid that Siya would do something stupid, hurriedly dissuaded her.

"Into the darkness? So what, we orcs don't believe in any Lord of Hope. The butler smiled indifferently, "Now it's time to enjoy, kids." ”

The dozens of pairs of eyes that lit up in the surrounding darkness instantly made Zhou Duan's scalp tingle, Earl of Wells, how unreliable is this ancient castle, being invaded like this by half-orcs?

"Wait, I have a question." Zhou Duan looked at the housekeeper.

"Of course, distinguished guest, you are a special group of people designated by the lord, and you have the privilege of dying now or later."

"How did the orcs get here? If the animal body and the human body are combined, how can the reproductive isolation be broken? ”

The butler's eyes became dangerous: "Although I don't know what you mean by reproductive isolation, but the birth rate of half-orcs is indeed not high, otherwise with our excellent talent, ......"

"You've been contracted for a long time?" Zhou Duan answered.

"Guest, you have too many questions." The butler looked like he had lost patience with Zhou Duan.

"Retreat backwards." Fez's turn around when he saw that the situation was not good.

"I have one last question." Zhou Duan looked at the housekeeper seriously.

The butler took a deep breath and suppressed his murderous aura: "You say." ”

"How do you want to die?"

This time, not only the housekeeper, but even Siya and Fez looked at Zhou Duan like fools, even if Duo'an's face was hidden under the mask, he did not hesitate to convey the same emotions as several people with his eyes.

"Excessive concessions lead to greed." The housekeeper looked at Zhou Duan, "The price of greed is death." ”

As the butler's words fell, dozens of non-human-like figures pressed towards the four of them with a gloomy aura.

"Don't worry, two young ladies, I think you will live longer......" The housekeeper's body came to several people at some point.

Siya's face turned pale.

"Break out of each other." Fez looked at the butler with a grim face, the other party gave him too much oppression.

"Breakout? Don't be naïve, guest. The butler sneered.

"I have to say, your expression is much more than that of a housekeeper."

Zhou Duan's composure made the housekeeper inexplicably angry.

"The hour is almost up."

"I think so too." Zhou Duan stretched out his hand, "Return to the dead." ”

"Roar." A louder roar than in the basement came from the mouth of the evil man.

Then the butler was horrified, and he found that his soul seemed to be torn between the physical body and the outside world.

The strength of the housekeeper is only about the same as that of the previous Marquis of Guling, although he is weaker, but his strength is ......

"No, it can't be." Under the butler's disbelieving gaze, his human shell began to shrink, and a large, cold snake head took its place.

"......" Fez, who found it difficult to express his complex heart at the moment.

"You...... How could it be ......" Siya couldn't believe it at the moment.

"Don't be surprised, my demon is very restrained against such orcs." Zhou Duan explained.

Siya: They've recovered a bit.

By this time, the city guards had already entered.

"What's going on?" The lead was a sleek non-commissioned officer facing Faith.

There had always been a disagreement between these people and the nobles on some kind of contradiction, and if it weren't for Vidos's orders, the city guards would never have appeared here.

Fez told the city guards about the incident.

"So the murderer is this orc butler?" The non-commissioned officer asked.

Fez shook his head, "If you may, I'd like you to find out tonight all of us who have been in contact with the butler after ten o'clock, and by the way, can you help us remove all the mechanical clocks in the castle?" ”

"After nine-forty, to be exact." Zhou Duan added.

"Isn't the murderer?" Siya looked at the two of them, "And those dark shadows just now ......"

"Come to think of it, the Earl's Court is not a place where anyone can enter and exit at will, he just wants us to separate and break down one by one, so someone must have told him something."

"Or do you want to push him out and try it?"

Fez's eyes flickered with a flickering glint: "Things are getting interesting. ”

When the other party was looking for someone, Zhou Duan sat on the sofa and began to recall the picture of the confrontation with the housekeeper just now.

Suddenly, his eyes caught on the figure of Siya preparing to walk out of the living room.

frowned, this juncture ......

Afraid that something would happen to the other party, Zhou Duan subconsciously followed, but was stopped by Duo'an.

The suspicion at the end of the week was even worse, and Doan had obviously received an order from Siya.

Summoning Duoduo to stealth and follow over to ensure the safety of the other party, Zhou Duan returned to the sofa.

"It's about giving the lady her own space, isn't it, the danger is now controllable, isn't it?" Fez walked over.

"I hope so." Zhou Duan touched the cup with the other party, "So, have you met with the housekeeper after nine forty?" ”

Fez's hand paused, and then a strange smile appeared on his face: "It seems...... Or did you find out. ”

A bite towards the end of the week.

Zhou Duan didn't hide either.

Fez paused awkwardly halfway and smacked his tongue: "It's really boring, I don't understand why such a beautiful lady would take a fancy to you." ”

"Your Excellency, watch your words." This was said by Doan.

"Oh?" Fez's eyebrows jumped, "Looks like I still have some chances." ”

"Anyone, anytime, has a chance, you name it." Zhou Duan looked at each other.

"Of course, but the admission of the cursed object is when the opportunity is greatest."

"Why, this so-called Deathbird Curse is uncertain, so ......"

"No, at least make sure someone is eligible, otherwise the show won't start, and according to the butler just now, the clock was changed before the banquet began."

"So?"

"So Lloyd's death may not have been due to a curse."

"Has anyone seen him before the feast and has already killed him? It can't be, I've seen him, less than ten minutes before the banquet starts, and he's quite normal then, I mean, as a man. ”

"You said you'd seen him?"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"In the back kitchen."

"Do you know why he went over there?"

"I should follow...... Wrong. Zhou Duan remembered that he had been following Siya at the beginning, and if Lloyd's was on his side at that time, he couldn't have known it.

And he was taken to the back kitchen by Siya, and later met Lloybey there.

"What's wrong?" Fez asked with some concern.

"Nothing, I need to think about it." Zhou Duan told Fez not to worry.

So, who must have told Lloebisia's whereabouts, Siya and the butler......

Zhou Duan thought of the scene where Siya was taken to the back by the housekeeper and the scene of the confrontation between the housekeeper and Lloybe.

No, there is no need for the housekeeper to personally punish a maid, and besides, when Siya follows the housekeeper to change clothes......

Moreover, he did not see Lloyd's there after that.

After that, Lloyd's wanted to duel with him.

The bet is on the "Black Lord", and I thought the other party was a little stupid at the time, but now it seems that this "Black Lord" is the medium of the curse......

In other words, Lloyd's at this time is already dead?

Then the place of death should be the back kitchen, if you have a bold guess, Siya and the butler are in the same group, and the butler was in the front hall at that time (later called from the hall by Vidos, there are witnesses), then the murderer should be Siya.

But Siya is with herself, it's impossible at all......

Wait, Zhou Duan's eyes widened suddenly.

Judging from Lloyd's expression when he saw him, it was very surprised, but the scene at that time was obviously remote enough, why go to the back kitchen, and there was no one in the back kitchen.

Because of the mission of the Children of the World, his precautions against Siya are too low.

As for killing, as long as you know the baron's preferences, after he leaves, isn't he willing to eat snacks in the empty kitchen?

"I need to know what these three dead men ate tonight." Zhou Duan said to Firth, "This may be the key. ”

For Zhou Duan's request, Fez did not refuse, and the quality of the subordinates of the Earl's Court was enough to make them remember the meals of the several nobles they were responsible for tonight.
