[The countdown ends, the game begins]
In the next second, the dense fog surrounding Zhou Ke'er gradually dissipated.
Zhou Ke'er subconsciously looked around.
"Hmm... Still in the carriage, the costume has not changed, it is the same set I bought from the mall. Not... This assigned identity may have something to do with the player's own clothing. ”
Zhou Keer reached out and lifted the curtain on the car window and looked outside.
The carriage was not moving, it should have been parked, and on the side that Zhou Keer saw, there were still three carriages parked.
Zhou Ke'er didn't rush to get off the carriage, but first searched the pockets on his body, and then rummaged through the inside of the carriage. For example, whether there is a drawer on the small table in the middle, whether there is anything hidden in the aromatherapy box, whether the seat you are sitting on can be lifted, etc.
"It's obviously a police detective, but you don't even have a gun with you? Isn't that a bit of a joke..."
I found that I had nothing in my pocket, and the carriage was indeed empty, and if I had to say anything, it was only an invitation on the small table. Zhou Keer couldn't help but pouted and complained.
Seeing that people got off one after another in other carriages outside the window, Zhou Keer still unhurriedly opened the invitation card and read the text inside again, after all, the picture in the opening CG just now was just a flash, except for the signature of the inviter, Zhou Keer didn't see anything clearly.
"Huh... Sure enough, the pit is waiting here. The prompt didn't indicate the name of the invitee on the invitation, but fortunately I took a look, otherwise I would have gone straight to the gang as soon as I introduced myself..."
Zhou Ke'er quickly browsed it, and then returned the invitation card to its original state again, and hooked the corners of his mouth without a trace, "Glacis... The name of this identity is Glacis. ”
"Tuk-tuk..."
Two slight knocks on the carriage door rang out.
"Did you rush me to get out of the car? Well.. It's about the same time. ”
Zhou Keer straightened her bow tie, held a richly decorated cane in her right hand, and gently knocked on the inside of the car door twice with her left hand, waited for two seconds, and estimated that the person outside the car door should have taken a few steps back before reaching out and slowly pushing the door open.
After pushing the door open, he saw that in the open space outside the gate of the manor, the others had gathered and were waiting for him.
There are still a few people I don't know... Is it an NPC or a player? Well.. Judging by the dress, it doesn't seem to belong to this mod era, it should be the player... Will there be random matchmaking in a party game?
Hawkers,It doesn't matter.,Anyway, it's a game.,Sure enough, the more players, the better.。
By the way, Zhou Keer is super fond of role-playing. Especially when acting is fake and true, deceiving other people, he is especially comfortable.
So... Because he didn't know whether those extra people were NPCs or players, Zhou Keer decided to disguise himself as an NPC first, after all... His current outfit is indeed the most in line with the mod's era.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
The moment Zhou Ke'er poked her head out of the carriage, her face instantly switched to a gentle and polite smile, "Gentlemen always care about their appearance like this, and I believe you are the same, aren't you?" ”
Shi, Jinyi and Finger Sand looked at Zhou Keer's face, and when they heard the words, they all looked like they had seen a ghost, and almost began to wonder if this Zhou Keer had been dropped.
Zhou Keer slowly walked out of the carriage, first stretched out his left hand and took off his top hat, bowed slightly to everyone, and then put on his top hat and walked quickly towards the others with a cane.
"Okay, now that you're all here, please come with me. The lord has been waiting for you in the banquet hall for a long time. ”
An elderly man who looked like a housekeeper standing at the front bowed slightly, then turned sideways, stretched out his right hand to give way to the manor, and said to everyone, "Master Days doesn't like too noisy occasions, and at the same time... I don't like to be too lonely. Although only all of you were invited to this dinner, the specifications will not be lowered because of this. I hope you all have fun. ”
"Yes, of course. Thank you Mr. Days for your generosity. ”
Zhou Keer was not proficient in using the so-called "translation style" that he had learned from the classics of the old era to communicate.
However, even at this level, unless the others present also have some knowledge of the history of the Old Era, especially about language and writing, it should be enough to fool the past.
Normal people don't notice the difference between the way two people who speak similarly, especially if they don't know it, right?
Seeing this, Jin Yi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
Zhou Ke'er immediately pretended to cough twice, then turned to look at the Jinyi, Shi and the people gathered together, and blinked secretly, and then regardless of whether the other party saw his hint or not, he didn't understand what it meant, so he bowed slightly and said: "In Lower Glacis, I am fortunate to receive an invitation to this banquet." It is an honor to meet you. ”
As she spoke, Zhou Ke'er straightened her back, reached out and took out the invitation card in her pocket, and handed it to the housekeeper, "This is the invitation below, please take a look." ”
"Oh yes, while I'm sure you won't be the kind of impostor or uninvited guest without an invitation, the necessary checks are still needed. Thank you, Mr. Glacis, for the reminder. ”
The housekeeper just remembered it, stretched out his hand to take the invitation card handed over by Zhou Ke'er, nodded and said, and then looked at the others.
They also hurriedly followed suit, handed the invitation card in their hands to the housekeeper, and then briefly introduced themselves.
Jin Yi's name in this copy is Jensen, Shi's name is Diplik, and Knuckle Sha is Shandein.
Didn't hesitate ... I didn't open the invitation and look at it again... That means they know their identity and name in the introduction at the beginning of the game... Gan, just pit me alone!
The corners of Zhou Ke'er's mouth twitched slightly, and she silently wrote down these names, so as not to call the wrong goofs later.
As for the others ....
The man who was dressed a little scruffily, with a stout figure and a somewhat rude look, was called Steon.
Dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, the young woman named Pletty was also very well-mannered, but she didn't talk much.
And the last one, the young man who looked like "MMP I'm so tired, how could I have encountered this situation" has not introduced himself or handed over the invitation.
"Hello, sir? Any questions, please? ”
The butler asked, looking at him suspiciously.
"No... Not... Well, that... It could be a little.. Other words... It's not, oops.. That..."
He said a bunch of things in a panic, and finally seemed to accept his fate, showing an expression that saw through the red dust, and looked at the housekeeper in despair, "My invitation card is lost." ”
"What? How could something like this happen? Please don't be in a hurry, sir, please tell me your name and I'll go check the list of invitations. ”
The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, and then said unhurriedly to comfort the other party.
"I... My name is..."
The man showed an expression that saw through the red dust even more, as if to say, "I knew it couldn't be this simple", and then took a deep breath and said, "My name is Glacis, I don't know why that gentleman has the same name as me... I think it's possible that my invitation was taken by him. ”
"Wow!"
Zhou Ke'er raised her eyebrows, interesting, this guy... Do you want to cut him first?
is also, after all, it was Zhou Keer who first proposed to check the invitation, and the culprit was him, who didn't frame him?
And... There shouldn't be anything wrong with it, but if the other party mentions it... Zhou Keer was the first to take the lead in mentioning that he wanted to check the invitation, which was a bit inexplicable.
I want to muddy the water at the beginning, this guy...
Zhou Ke'er showed a kind smile, which was slightly mixed with a hint of doubt: "Hello, this gentleman, although I don't know why you have the same name as Zaixia, and it just so happens that the invitation card has been lost."
However, I believe that the esteemed Mr. Dyce should find out the identity of the guests before inviting them, right? Do you need to introduce your identity, occupation, and family situation to prove your innocence? ”
