"Let's play two dragon tooth cards."

When Xiuge really heard this sentence from the mouths of these living people, he still inevitably felt a little stunned.

"Doesn't it stand to reason that I should say this to someone else? Why did someone ask me......

He wanted to laugh, but it was obviously not polite, so he spread his hands and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, of course I know about the Dragon's Tooth card, and I'm interested, but...... I hadn't had a chance to try it before, so I didn't have any decks."

"Hah, who said writers only lie at their desks?"

Nils, who was a little older, smiled at his own brother, "Mr. Shugg can know the 'deck, which is already better than most novices, especially the young ladies, and it is too difficult to teach them how to play this thing."

"That's it, and sometimes they have to lecture them that the patterns on the cards are too lewd......

"Oh, it's nasty."

The two brothers laughed as they spoke, and Dietrich, as the younger brother, reached out and pulled a chair and invited Schugg to sit down: "Actually, a lot of people were talking about you before you came back, and they said everything."

Schug had a crush on the two enthusiastic young men, so he asked, "What did they say?"

Dietrich took his deck in his hand, and as he looked through it, he said, "Good is naturally good, and bad is not so good, just like that word, uh......

Nils was a timely reminder: "Polarization!"

"yes, that's it!"

Dietrich nodded, straightened the flannel cloth on the table, and then placed the deck in place with his brother, both eager to draw seven cards from their respective piles and pinch them in their hands.

Shuge noticed that compared to the cards that the commoners usually played, the dragon teeth cards in the hands of the two brothers were extremely clean and delicate, and not only that, but their solitaire cards even used special magic images, which were like living creatures constantly looping through specific actions on the cards, which made Xiuge a little trance-like.

"How? Interested in trying it?"

When Dietrich saw Hug staring at the patterns on the cards, he smiled and said, "Of course, the cards circulating in the market are not like this, and the two sets we have in our hands cost a lot of money...... Some time ago, 'Magic Painter Gerhard, Mr.'s masterpiece, is sold in limited quantities, and it has also been certified by the Dragon's Tooth Association, which is truly authentic."

"No, you fight, I'll just watch."

Shuge shook his head, "I've just returned to the manor, and I don't know much about the situation here, so I have some questions for you two."

"No problem, you can say it."

Dietrich threw a gold coin and guessed heads with Nils, thus deciding the order in which the two cards would be played.

"When did you arrive? I mean...... to the Manor Hotel."

"The afternoon before yesterday."

Nils pulled out a dragon's tooth card and placed it on the table, "We've been living in the manor, so we came with the cards when we got the notice, and to be honest, for the two of us, living in the mansion is no different from here." ….

"Won't you get bored?"

Nils shrugged, "Perhaps, but we're discussing some business matters, and it's not like there's nothing to do......

"It's actually the same as usual, but there are more guys around me who like to talk big."

Dietrich, who has a more lively personality, made a retching exaggerated expression: "It's easy to turn your stomach when you listen to it too much."

Xiuge recalled the voices of those discussions when he just walked into the hotel lobby, and nodded with deep feeling, although the Ernst family can indeed be regarded as the elite of the aristocracy, but the problems that the members should have not fallen at all, and these problems will always be more distinct in the arrogant young man, like the two in front of him who focus on playing cards are really a minority of the few.

But Xiuge

At this time, I finally remembered that the father of the two brothers, Count Oliver, was also an outlier in the Ernst family, as a true nobleman, this count loved the field of art, and was said to be an excellent poet and painter, and the children raised by such a father may not be interested in things such as power and status.

"So there's anything else mentioned in the manor? All the younger generation were sent to the hotel just to avoid the renovation of the mansion?"

"But I remember that the winter season is coming soon, so how could you choose such a time to carry out the renovation work?"

Dietrich nodded in agreement, "It's strange that I was still taking a nap when I was woken up from my bed by the butler. Now that I think about it, it's like they're in a hurry to kick us out. But the preparation in the hotel is very well-prepared, at least I don't think there is any problem, as for the ladies...... The opinion may be bigger."

"Big opinion? Is it a dissatisfaction with the environment?"

"No, they hate rats here."

Hearing this, Xiuge's eyebrows raised slightly.

For others, the presence of rats in the house must not be a good thing, but this matter is very good news for Shuge and Snicky the Rat of Rage, with the help of Snicky's ability, those lives hidden in the crevices can be turned into weapons and eyeliner at any time.

Nils played a card again, expressing his objection to his brother's claim: "If I want to say that it is unlikely, no matter what, this is also a place where you can house and receive VIPs, if there are really rats running around, the face of the family will have no place to rest, anyway, I have not found anything."

He turned to look at Shug, "I've heard about you, you don't know much about the manor and the people here, do you?" Secretly, I'd rather quarrel with those arrogant guys with their noses to the sky than provoke our sensitive sisters and sisters...... Their temperament is as capricious as the weather in the Black Nest Mountains."

"Thanks for the reminder."

"I think I've heard the housekeeper talking to some of the servants, and they seem to be talking about the rodent infestation."

Dietrich added: "But that should be a normal prevention, when we were renovating the shops in Leyland, I talked to the workers a few times, and they mentioned that as long as it is 'old, the house, there will always be this kind of problem, after all, the rats on the plateau are not afraid of the cold, so once it is renovated, all these hidden dangers must be inventoried." ….

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "There are too many old men in the family, if you accidentally scare two to death by mice, then it will be a big problem."

"Play cards!"

Nils glared at his brother, what kind of thing could he say casually just now?

Knowing that he would not be able to ask anything more from the two brothers, he nodded his head in acknowledgment and walked to the other side.

This time, he targeted a few women gathered on an elegant sofa in the corner of the hall.

In terms of the blood relationship of this body, they should all be regarded as their cousins.

Shug noticed that they seemed to be on his own, so when he got to the couch, he had already received a few greetings.

"It seems that what the two Niels brothers said is true, and they do seem to be friendly to me."

Shuge politely greeted the four young ladies in front of him, and before he could speak, one of them, a younger, thin girl in a long dress, took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Shuge, we have been discussing you before."

"We've heard about you, and it's hard to imagine that anyone could have escaped from the city of Seren...... It must have been a thrilling experience, right?"

With these words, several young ladies next to them also echoed, their voices chattering, like a flock of delicate birds jumping in a cage.

The questions they asked revolved around the dangers that Shog might encounter when escaping the city of Salem, and the experiences of Haved, Prince of Waterl, in the city of Salem.

Obviously, in the eyes of these young ladies, the city itself and what happened to its inhabitants was not too important.

They are also a thrilling and dangerous bizarre journey, as well as a tragic story that happened to Prince Havid.

Siug found that even before he could interject an answer, they had already made up a lot of bizarre details, and one of the older young ladies even suggested a version she had heard of that Prince Havid's death was actually related to a love killing.

This is already pure nonsense.

Shug felt he had to throw a punch.

"Actually, what happened in the city of Seren...... Maybe it's closer to what the Commission said."

In a calm and calm tone, he said what he knew belonged to the tragic reality of Salem City: "The silt-like magical beasts summoned by strange magic rituals, huge explosions and sudden assassinations, in addition, there should be many robberies and arson cases that have not been reported in the news, coupled with the latest shelling, I am afraid that there is no way out for Salem City and its residents."

The power of this sentence is a little greater.

The four young ladies who had been discussing something fell silent together, and after a few seconds, the expressions on their faces came back to life, and one of the quieter asked in a low voice, "I heard...... Even before the assassination, there had been some strange cases in the city of Selen, where a newspaper editor was said to have been gnawed alive by a swarm of rats in his office?" ….

"Hannah, you've seen too many horror stories!"

The thin girl who spoke first clearly hated this kind of topic, and she frowned and said, "It's because you've been looking at these things on a daily basis that you've been thinking about them lately!"

"That thing did happen, and it happened twice."

Shuge added faintly beside him, successfully choking the other party.

But of course he wouldn't tell them that the person who created the horror story was right in front of them.

The atmosphere of the conversation suddenly became a little awkward, probably because she felt a little embarrassed, and the girl, who had been deflated twice in a row, quickly stood up, squeezed a smile with difficulty, and then walked in the direction of the elevator, and the other two on the sofa were obviously on better terms with her, so they also chased after her.

Only the quiet girl, Hannah, was still sitting on the couch.

Her dress is a little more modest than that of ordinary aristocratic ladies, and her body and face also have some scholarly temperament that nobles lack.

Of course, it can also be said to be a nerdy temperament.

Seeing that this Miss Hannah also wanted to leave, Xiuge hurriedly stopped the other party: "I'm sorry, Miss Hannah, I have some questions, can you please help answer them?"

Hannah asked cautiously, "What's the problem?"

"You've probably heard of it, I've created it before...... Uh, some works."

Hearing this, Hannah's expression became more cautious, and her face even turned a little red, but she finally nodded, "I've heard of it."

"I don't want to keep writing that kind of work, so I'm going to try to expand into the horror and horror genres. In other words, I'm taking the material."

Xiuge noticed that the other party's expression seemed to be soothed a lot, and his eyes began to glow, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "I just heard someone mention that someone seems to have noticed some ominous signs in the manor's hotel recently, is there such a thing?"

"Well, the person they are talking about should be me."

Hannah nodded, and a look of confusion and unease appeared on her white face, "It happened yesterday at noon, and I was taking a nap...... Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a voice in my ears."

"You mean the sound of rats?"

"Maybe? It was as if something was running, and occasionally there was a faint cry."

Hannah recalled, "So I was

I woke up, but there was nothing in the room, everything was normal, I thought I had heard it wrong, so I tried to fall back asleep, but soon I heard that sound again."

"Where did it come from?"

"I can't hear clearly, it always feels like it's against the wall of the bed...... I also brought in housekeepers and waiters for this, but they told me that the walls of this hotel are solid, and that no rats can run in them."

Shuge nodded, and the description of the other party was consistent with the "inspection results" that Snicky had previously fed back to him - the infrastructure of this manor hotel was very solid, and there were no gaps in the walls to walk through.

However, Hannah's account was not over, and she said with trepidation: "That night, that voice came again, and this time I heard it very clearly, and it was not actually in the wall, but in the middle of the room."

"It's like...... It's like there's an invisible person running around the room, and it's a terrible feeling."
