Jiang Linxian continued to come to the fourth floor to clean the Duchess's room.

At first, he was afraid that the Duchess would be angry that she would find out that she had taken her toy.

But it was clear that his worries were unfounded.

Early in the morning, the Duchess left her residence and went to an unknown place.

After Jiang Linxian finished cleaning the room, he came to the second floor.

At this moment, Wang Yuanqi has already cleaned the corridor and guest room, and it is not surprising that he can get the praise of the housekeeper.

"Would you like to go somewhere else?" Jiang Linxian said to Wang Yuanqi.

"If you are seen by the housekeeper, you may be punished." Wang Yuanqi shook his head and said.

Jiang Linxian stopped talking and chose to leave silently.

He felt that he should not be able to move the player in front of him.

Arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Chandorai and a female player were cleaning up carefully.

Occasionally, a few maids pass through the middle of the hall.

With sumptuous food in hand, they hurried up to the second floor.

When Qian Duolai saw Jiang Linxian appear, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

He came to Jiang Linxian's side, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Jiang, you are running around, aren't you afraid that the housekeeper will see you and punish you." ”

"Have you seen the butler in the hall in the past two days?" Jiang Linxian asked.

Chandorai thought for a while, and then shook his head: "When you asked, I noticed that it seems that the housekeeper is not here during the day." Except for the servants who walked around, I didn't even see any other big man in an old castle. ”

"That's weird." Jiang Linxian thought for a while and prepared to leave: "I'll go to the kitchen and garden for a walk." ”

"Brother Jiang, are you really not afraid of death?" Qian Duolai instantly admired the man in front of him very much, worthy of being a big guy who scored high scores for two consecutive days.

Jiang Linxian wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but in the end he held back: "I know what I know." ”

As he spoke, he was leaving.

"By the way, Brother Jiang, I'll tell you something." Qian Duolai stopped him after thinking for a moment, and told Jiang Linxian what a few people in the dormitory had said last night.

The latter's expression did not change in the slightest after listening, but replied lightly: "I know." ”

As he left the hall, he glanced at the girl who was still cleaning.

The latter seemed to understand, and looked up at Jiang Linxian's side.

The four eyes are facing each other, and the eyes are touching.

Then they all looked away.

In the kitchen, Yan Ming and Zhao Peng were wiping the seats in the dining room, and in the dining window, they could see a few haters preparing dishes.

Last night, the abomination was also chopping vegetables at the moment.

When it inadvertently saw Jiang Linxian outside the window, it couldn't help but show a little fear.

The speed of chopping vegetables instantly increased a few points.

The ruthlessness buried in the eyes is fleeting.

Zhao Peng and Yan Ming wanted to step forward and say a few words after seeing Jiang Linxian, but because there were several 'monsters' staring at the kitchen at the moment, they couldn't step forward, so they could only continue to wipe the seats silently.

It is estimated that even they didn't expect Jiang Linxian to drag a broom around.

Sure enough, he was a ruthless man.

Nothing special was found in the kitchen, and Jiang Linxian came to the garden.

One of the three men who tidy up the garden is missing an arm, one is missing a tongue, and one is missing an eyeball. It can be said that it is the most decrepit trio.

In the garden, there is also an old man sitting on an empty stone bench playing chess alone.

Chess.

Jiang Linxian had already seen it from a long distance.

After all, if you can play chess alone in such a leisurely and elegant way, your status in the castle will not be too low.

Like the Duchess and her little son.

"You're new to cleaning the garden?" The old man seemed to notice Jiang Linxian's gaze and looked up: "I haven't seen you two days ago. ”

"I'm here to help." Jiang Linxian nodded, he couldn't tell what the old man in front of him was, so he could only find a lame reason to explain.

"Come play a game of chess with me?" The old man asked, "If you win me, then you won't have to clean up today, and Steward Nicgood won't embarrass you." ”

[A lonely vampire duke who lives in an ancient castle all year round and is very lonely, and needs the company of others]

Are all the vampires in the castle so lonely?

Jiang Linxian thought that he didn't reply immediately.

"Of course, if you lose, keep one of your arms." The old man stared at Jiang Linxian, waiting for his answer.

【Ding! 】

[Open Side Quest: The Companionship of the Old Man]

[Introduction: The vampire old man has lived in the castle for more than 500 years, knows everything in the castle, and the perennial loneliness has made him a little unbearable, he needs to find a partner to confide in the haze in his heart, please accompany the old man to play chess, and win him. 】

[Quest Reward: Special Item: Mysterious Key: There seems to be something hidden in the castle, through the mysterious key, maybe you can discover some secrets of the castle and gain experience points +1000,]

[If you fail the mission, you will lose an arm, this is the old man's punishment for you, after all, you have not been recognized by the old man. 】

[Note: This task can be accepted or not.] 】

Jiang Linxian was very excited about this sudden system task.

However, his chess skills are limited, and promising him will only bring humiliation upon him.

[Maybe you can let him try to play Chinese chess, the main thing is to accompany the old man, he is very lonely. 】

Is that okay?

Jiang Linxian was suspicious and took the task.

He walked slowly to the old man and looked at the chess game on the stone table.

He smiled and said, "I don't know how to do this kind of chess." ”

The old man who heard this was a little disappointed, raised his right hand slowly, and played chess alone again.

"Old man, you must have been playing this kind of chess alone for many years, right? Have you ever thought about trying an advanced version of chess? ”

The old man raised his head and wondered, "Advanced version of chess?" I've lived so long and I've never seen anything more interesting and inscrutable than this one. ”

"It's an interesting move, but in our place it's been eliminated and replaced by a more interesting and sophisticated one." Jiang Linxian asked

"Tell me that if I find out you're lying to me, I'll eat both of your arms and sew your mouth shut."

Jiang Linxian put down the broom in his hand and began to explain.

He drew chess pieces while explaining to the old man.

There is a slight resemblance between chess and Chinese chess. So the elderly are also quick to accept.

When he fully understood, Jiang Linxian also used the chess pieces on the stone plate to make the chess pieces of Huaxia Chess.

Next is the actual combat part of the two.

For the newly learned new chess, the old man was naturally not as familiar as Jiang Linxian.

Moreover, Jiang Linxian's Chinese chess skills are also top-notch.

It's not just chess, it's also Go.

In the real world, for an extremely obsessive-compulsive person and a perfectionist, he also has a brilliant record online, and rarely meets opponents.

It's just that he thinks a little longer when he plays chess.

After playing a few games of chess in a row, the old man seemed to be very interested in Jiang Linxian's new chess set, and the smile on his face also increased a lot.

Of course, his thoughtful expression grew.

Outside the stone table.

The three players who were pruning the flowers and trees and sweeping the dead leaves on the floor also looked at the two of them.

They found that Jiang Linxian had not left after talking there for a long time, and then the two played 'chess'.

To their greatest surprise, the old man was still smiling from time to time, and the two of them had played more than one game of chess.

In fact, the three of them knew very well that this old man had a side quest.

The one-armed girl has the most experience.

She lost a game of chess with the old man and lost an arm.

The other two girls were afraid to take on the task.

After the old man finished playing the fifth chess game, he couldn't help but smile again.

"It's very interesting, it's a novel way of playing, but I still need to study more."

The old man laughed.

"Then I'll accompany you here today, and if you still want to play chess, I'll come back tomorrow to accompany you." Jiang Linxian got up and smiled.

"Tomorrow?" The old man's eyes flickered a few times, and he looked at Jiang Linxian in front of him and said, "Young man, I have something for you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a quaint copper key from his pocket.

"Give it to me?" Jiang Linxian knew this, took the key, wiped it clean with a hand towel, observed it carefully for a while, and asked curiously, "Is this key of any use?" ”

"Yes." The old man smiled and waved his hand at him, "But now is not the time to tell you. ”

"I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back and rest first. I'll wait for you here tomorrow," the old man stood up tremblingly.

Jiang Linxian stepped forward and wanted to help the old man: "I'll send you back." ”

"No, you don't." The old man waved his hand and left alone.
