Chapter 11: Flipping the Table
A castle made of the unique gray stone of Seabreeze City, which has not been cared for for a long time, the roots of plants have been rooted in the brick walls of the castle, and creepers and moss have paved this castle with a green coat.
The windows of the entire castle are firmly nailed with wooden planks to prevent a ray of sunlight from entering the castle, and from the outside, it is cluttered and does not look like it is inhabited at all.
Lind and Luther stood in front of the black gate of the castle, waiting, while Father Marvin went in early to do his tricks under Linde's orders
Before Linde came here, he made some small preparations in advance, and through the wire control technique, he did some tricks and feet on some of the windows of the castle, grouping the planks of the windows and connecting them together with lines.
When the time comes to enter the castle, Linde can tear down the planks of a room in one go and let the sun shine on the place by using the wire control technique.
Linde called up the task panel in his head as he waited.
[Mission: Bloodline Dinner]
[Mission Rating: B]
[Content: Attend the Bloodline's Dinner and Survive]
[Reward: 50 Intelligence Points]
If you don't do the quest in a normal PC game, you will not only get stuck, but you may also get stuck.
But now, with the vast knowledge of the Centipede Book, Linde knows many ways to improve his strength.
Linde bit his lip, the description of the mission was too simplistic, the subject was not clear, and the time was not clear.
This 'game system' feels like a bad version of the Centipede Book in the brain.
"What kind of world am I traversing?"
Although Linde had thought that it was a high-tech game and a dream, Linde could feel the ill-fitting feeling of the black dress on his body, the soreness in his right leg, and the slight jamming of his left thumb by the boots.
The dampness, the pain, the irritability of waiting, every feeling in his pores told her that this was not a virtual game.
Da Da Da β
With the sound of brisk footsteps, a plump woman trotted to the shadow of the gate, lifting the hem of her skirt.
"Whew, whew."
Aino saw Linde, his slightly baby fat face smiled slightly, and bowed in greeting:
"First meeting, Baron Lind, I am the owner of this castle, Aino. Miriam. β
"My God!"
Before Linde could speak, Luther couldn't help but exclaim.
When Luther was a child, he had heard the clichΓ© story of the devil turning into a beautiful woman to seduce the brave man, and he had denounced the brave man, but now, Luther only felt that he was also deeply seduced.
In normal times, Luther would definitely have stepped forward to talk, but now, Luther can only keep his sanity and follow Linde well, he has never had experience in fighting demons.
"Hello, Mrs. Aino, just call me Linde when we meet for the first time."
Linde bowed and examined Aino, with her fair skin, delicate face, and cherry-red eyes, an elegant black dress in the style of roses, and a black crow-headed cane at her waist.
While admiring each other's beauty, Linde couldn't help but complain from the bottom of his heart: Anyway, on the bright side, your sisters are also playing 'mother and daughter' on the bright side, can you be a little dedicated in terms of appearance.
Aino swept Linde, the standard aristocratic son look, quite a taste for Aino.
If Grandmother is present and Linde has the talent of Warlock, Aino may ask Grandmother to take Linde into possession.
But now, Aino was simply looking forward to the taste of the bright red coming from the other man's neck, and the look of fear and fear on his face when the fangs pierced his delicate skin.
Although Aino never bit someone with his fangs.
"Linde, and this ....."
"Just call me Luther, beautiful Mrs. Aino."
"Okay, two, please follow me to the restaurant on the second floor."
"Hmm."
As Linde stepped into the castle, the torches on both sides lit up at once, and the dim castle was instantly filled with orange-red light.
From the outside, it looks like it's uninhabited, but the interior is pretty nicely decorated.
Linde pretended that he didn't know anything and asked curiously:
"May you ask, why did you seal the windows?"
"Hmm....... Have you ever heard of sunphobia? β
"I remember it was a skin disease."
"Well, yes....... For my sister....... My dear baby daughter, but listen to the doctor, it will be fine in a few months. β
Clumsy lies, but due to the information blockade of various demons in the Kingdom of Law, this simple and direct wording will not be suspected by ordinary people, and due to the rampant monsters, there are too many strange diseases in this world.
Aino led the two up the spiral staircase to the dining room on the second floor.
"You may be seated ......"
It is a rectangular family dining table.
Aino led Luther and Lindh to the table, while the four servants began to arrange the tablecloths.
When the servants set the dishes in turn, and Aino blushed slightly, and sat opposite Linde, a sentence came to Linde's head:
[Mission: The Bloodline Dinner has begun, please live.] ]
β???β
This is where the mission begins?
Linde took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, it was four thirty-one, and it was two hours before the dinner time in the invitation was seven.
The task was freer than Lind had imagined.
A moment of small talk.
The neat and orderly footsteps of servants could be heard in the dining room.
The servant brought a whole roast lamb and a plate of herring, as well as honey cake, four glasses of wine, and fruit cream pie, and put them on the table.
Alice suddenly walked up behind Linde, put her ear to Linde and said:
"Baron Linde, you can eat some pastries first, eat a little more~"
"Hmm."
"Lord Linde, please take a seat, before the dinner begins, you might as well have an afternoon tea party."
"Hmm."
Alice sat down next to Aino, forking up a piece of roast lamb.
"How many girlfriends have you had?"
"Do you have a sweet tooth?"
"Do you usually have a habit of shaving?"
Linde couldn't help but complain about the two sisters in his heart, didn't they really find these questions embarrassing.
After such a nutritious small talk, Linde slowly raised his glass, and the wine took on a red color, as if it had been diluted with blood.
According to Father Marvin, the Sisters of the Bloodline would add a coma drug to the glass, and after drinking the wine, they would be unconscious after twenty minutes.
However, because Linde had brainwashed Father Marven and arranged for Marven to change the wine, now, the other party's wine glass should contain the two glasses with coma drugs.
"Cheers~"
Aino took a sip of wine, his face filled with joy, and made a gesture of preparation for clinking glasses.
"Cheers~"
Alice also couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass, urging Linde and the two to hurry up and drink.
Touch!
The wine glasses of the four of them clashed together, making a crisp echo.
Aino took several sips of red wine in a row.
Linde put the glass to her lips, but her eyes stole at Alice.
Alice put the glass to her lips, but suddenly paused.
Alice has a habit of observing the color of her blood before drinking it, just like her grandmother.
"The color of this wine, cloudy, why is it a little whitish, as if it were ....... Drugged? β
Just when Alice was suspicious.
Three sharp knives were already shooting at her head.
