I don't know how long it took, the six-wheeled carriage finally stopped, Ah Hu opened the door curtain and helped Shen Yun down first.

The entrance is an extremely old three-story castle, the outer walls are covered with vines full of small white flowers, and in the courtyard there is a dilapidated statue of the winged man, in addition to the neatly manicured flowers and plants.

Shen Yun looked at the statue, and always had a sense of déjà vu, not from memory, but from the imprint of the deepest part of the soul.

"From today onwards, you will be in charge of this place. Merlin smiled, "Actually, it's nothing, just clean the room every day." ”

"Okay. Shen Yun nodded and agreed, she was quite satisfied with this job, it was much better than serving those bishops and monks, at least there would be no danger of being taken advantage of at any time.

"Someone will bring you three meals a day, so you'd better not leave this yard. The old man specially advised, "You should also know the situation of the Holy See, this is my territory, no one dares to do anything to you, but it is not necessarily the case in other places, if you don't want to cause trouble, you should stay here honestly." ”

After saying that, Merlin boarded the carriage and floated away, leaving Shen Yun standing alone in the courtyard.

"It's not dark yet, so let's take a look at our surroundings. She made up her mind and decided to make a trip to the tower at the top of the castle.

"Squeak~"

Gently pushing open the two thick doors of the castle with delicate carvings, a musty smell that had been uninhabited for a long time made her frown, and she was greeted by a hall lavishly decorated enough to hold a ball, a wide wooden spiral staircase that rose to the second floor, and a huge chandelier installed in the center of the hall.

Unfortunately, due to age, all the furniture and decorations are old, but they are all cleaned and well preserved, at least they are completely fine to use.

Shen Yun walked into the hall as if she were walking through the long river of history, and she gently touched a mural on the wall that depicted a ball held in the castle many years ago.

Although the paint had changed color a little, and some of the walls were mottled and peeled off, Shen Yun could still see the grand scene of the ball at a glance, the nobles in gorgeous costumes dancing in pairs in the hall, their movements graceful and calm, while the others gathered in twos and threes to chat, and the long tables covered with white cloth on both sides were filled with all kinds of food and wine, which immediately fascinated her.

It turns out that this is the life of people in ancient times, and it looks interesting.

She looked back at the long table, only to find that it was still covered with spotless white tablecloths, and several sets of maid outfits with white foundations were placed on it.

Anyway, there was no one around, so Shen Yun took off her skirt and changed into a maid outfit with confidence.

The maid's outfit with a faint fragrance is actually quite fitting, as if it was tailor-made for her by the most professional tailor, if it is not a coincidence, it can only show that the archbishop should have premeditated, but she is just an ordinary ordinary woman, why is Merlin in a high position so concerned?

If Qin Luo, who was familiar with various routines, was present, he would definitely think that this was an out-and-out conspiracy, Shen Yun was just a girl who was not deeply involved in the world after all, anyway, she had successfully infiltrated the Holy See, and then she would complete the task and run away, anyway, she didn't really want to stay as a maid.

She spun around in place, then went straight to the second floor.

Upstairs were all rooms with closed doors, and although the musty smell was still there, there was no dust in the corridors, and there were many beautifully framed oil paintings on the walls on both sides.

The stairs leading to the third floor should be on the other side, and you have to go through the corridor to get there, Shen Yun walked on the soft brown carpet, and she was in a good mood.

The oil paintings are full of portraits of young and beautiful women, and there seems to be some similarity between the eyebrows, the more she looks at it, the more she feels that something is wrong, how can these women become more and more familiar, where do she seem to have seen them?

The corridor tens of meters long soon came to an end, and sure enough, the staircase leading to the upper floor was here.

Walking up to the third floor, there is still a long corridor, but unlike the second floor, the doors of the rooms on both sides are actually sealed with wooden boards.

The paintings on the walls are no longer young women, but eerie white oval eggs.

There are eggs on each painting, and Shen Yun is completely confused when he sees it.

Is this an art?

The same big round eggs on the wall made people look a little flustered, she simply lowered her head and walked quickly, out of sight and out of mind, this was what Qin Luo taught before.

Hurry up and complete the task and go back, the time separated from him can be described as a year, obviously only half a day, but it feels like half a century has passed......

Continuing up the stairs at the end, Shen Yun finally came to the top of the castle, which had been occupied by countless vines like the outer wall, and it was all green, and there were countless beautiful little white flowers dotted inside.

Fortunately, there is a small passage in the middle, otherwise she really can't bear to step on the vines full of small flowers.

There are five towers in total, except for the south, east, and northwest corners, the middle one is the tallest, which is also the goal of Shen Yun's trip.

The tower is hollow and hollow, with protruding stones embedded in the interior walls for footing up to the top, and the stones are covered with dust and the masonry on the walls has fallen off a lot, but it still looks quite solid.

Shen Yun used both hands and feet, climbed to the top of the tower in three or two clicks, and stood on it to take in the surrounding scenery at a glance.

The majestic white tower stands in the southeast of the ancient castle, the straight-line distance is about four or five kilometers, the same tall black tower is due west, the two towers are far away, like the gods guarding the majestic Daliang City.

After confirming the route to the White Tower, she returned to the castle the same way, and it was still early, so she simply went to the second floor to find a room to rest and wait for late night before moving.

When passing through the corridor on the third floor again, Shen Yun was suddenly stunned, he lowered his head just now and didn't pay attention, it turned out that the eggs on the last painting were a little different.

There was a crack in the eggshell on it, and a white hand was slowly sticking out of it, and there seemed to be a symbol printed on the back of the hand.

Shen Yun slowly approached the oil painting and was trying to see the symbol clearly, but the strange hand actually broke free from the shackles of the oil painting and grabbed her neck like lightning.

Caught off guard, the white and tender neck was grabbed by a strange hand, and Shen Yun didn't have time to struggle, and the whole person was already pulled into the painting......

Near the lake, there is still tension between Qin Luo and Ah Cao, and the smell is extremely strong, if it weren't for the persuasion of the two of them, it is estimated that the two of them can directly pinch each other.

Although they couldn't fight, the two still looked at each other coldly, their eyes were full of contempt and provocation, and in the ghostly view, this was completely like two children who didn't grow up fighting each other.

The two of them didn't go anywhere, just sat in the living room and stared wide-eyed.

At noon, you covered her stomach and smiled bitterly: "Aren't you hungry, can you cook first?"

To be honest, the two of them were full of anger, and they really didn't feel hungry, but since Youyou had already spoken, Ah Cao, as the master, naturally couldn't turn a deaf ear.

"Sister You, you sit down first, and I'll do it now. She glared at Qin Luo, "As for you, I'm sorry, do it yourself." ”

"Yo, labor and management have given a deposit, why don't you let me eat it?" Qin Luo was not happy now, although the other party's food was of a medium level in his eyes, but at least it was not unpalatable, and the most important thing was that he spent money!

Ah Cao was also out of the way, she slapped the table suddenly: "The old lady is happy, what's so great about the money, it's a big deal to refund the food fee to you when the time comes!"

This was beyond Qin Luo's expectations, he didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even make money in order to be vindictive, and he also said that he was a well-known big money fan, I ......

"Retreat, retreat, your cooking is just average, and labor and management are not uncommon to eat!" he said nonchalantly, "just the smell, don't talk about me, even my pet doesn't bother to smell it." ”

"Huh?!" Hearing Qin Luo's words, Ah Cao's face changed instantly.

In fact, Qin Luo didn't panic, last night the silver fox just smelled the smell of the vegetables and shook his head and left, it didn't need to eat every day, and its mouth had been raised by the owner, and ordinary dishes couldn't attract it at all.

However, this truth came out of his mouth and was too slap in the face, and Ah Cao's anger instantly reached its full value.

"Dare to say that my cooking skills are not good, are you qualified to say this?" she said viciously, "In Daliang City, the old lady recognizes the second, and absolutely no one dares to admit the first, what does your pet dog mean if he doesn't like to eat?"

Fortunately, the silver fox is not there, otherwise it would have been depressed for a long time......

"What are you kidding, it turns out that the culinary world of Daliang City is at this level?" Qin Luo replied not to be outdone, "Just say that you don't practice fake tricks, why don't we gamble?"

Ah Cao said angrily: "How do you want to bet?"

"It's very simple, one person cooks a dish and sees who tastes better. ”

"Okay, let Sister You be the referee!"

"No problem!"

After the two agreed, they immediately came to the kitchen, Ah Cao did not buy vegetables this morning, only some fruits and vegetables remained, but there were still a few lively fresh fish in the pool.

"Let's compare our fish. Ah Cao said provocatively, "How about doing it casually?"

"Okay, who will come first?" Qin Luo said nonchalantly with his hands crossed, "One more thing, since it's a bet, it must always be a little bit of a lottery, right?"

"Then you still have to say. Ah Cao took out a small notebook from his pocket and slapped it on the table with a bang, "I'll use the remaining 7,000 honorarium as a bet." ”

"Okay, rejoice, you wait for me. Qin Luo ran out, and after a while, he walked in with the little orange cat in his arms, and threw the 98k on the small notebook with a bang, and the nine-tailed silver fox also followed behind.

"How much is your dwarven musket worth?" Ah Cao glanced at it, his eyes full of disdain, "I have seen many muskets that are more well-made than yours, and the most expensive one is only about 1,000 gold coins." ”

Qin Luo didn't bother to explain, his left hand gently stroked the bullet bag, and several green 7.92mm bullets had already taken shape.

"It's ...... Magic weapon!" Ah Cao's eyes were about to fall off in shock......
