Chapter 19: The Duke of Ernst's Mission
"Huh?"
Mary frowned when she heard her brother's words, and her face immediately turned red.
She punched Andriy directly in the head, causing his head to spin 360 degrees.
"Andri, if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll sew your mouth up."
Andri's eyes were horrified.
He straightened his head and nodded immediately.
"Sister, don't worry, I won't say it."
"Why are you knocking on the door?"
Mary glared at him.
"I saw you've been in the room for a long time, and I heard some noises, so I knocked on the door to see what you were doing." Andriy touched his head, then thought for a moment.
"Sister, do you want me to close the door and continue?"
"You're going to try it again?" Mary was furious and was about to strike again.
Andri hugged his head in fright and said in a low voice: "Sister, I was wrong, I won't say it." β
"Come in." Mary said as she opened the door to her room.
Jiang Linxian is cleaning seriously at the moment.
Because of the fight with Mary just now, the room was messy, so it didn't clean up quickly.
When Andri walked in and saw the messy house, and even some blood stains on the ground, he couldn't help but be more sure of what he thought in his heart, and secretly wondered.
I didn't expect this bed bug to be so strong, my sister shouldn't be able to stand it.
"What do you see, why don't you hurry up and help Brother Jiang clean up the room." Mary glared at her brother beside her, then went into the bedroom and changed into clean clothes.
Seeing the reversal of his sister's attitude, Andri couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In front of me, it was still called by bedbugs, and now it is called Brother Jiang.
It seems that Brother Jiang is really powerful, even my sister can settle it.
In an hour and a half, Jiang Linxian finished cleaning the room and was about to leave to go to the garden to play chess with the old man.
"Brother Jiang, wait!"
Mary stopped him, then took out a sachet and handed it to Jiang Linxian.
"Brother Jiang, thank you for your blood, this sachet is given to you, my mother said that there are monsters in the castle at night, so if you are in danger at night, you can hang it on your body, it can dispel monsters."
γDing! γ
[Congratulations to player Jiang Linxian for completing Mary's request!] γ
[Get Reward: Mary's Opinion +80!] Mary's opinion is full, get Mary's help (as long as you don't ask too much, Mary will help)]
[Obtain: Special Item: Exorcism Sachet: A sachet that Mary wears on her body all year round, which can dispel evil objects and avoid being harmed]
At this time, a chime sounded.
Jiang Linxian took the sachet in Mary's hand, nodded, and turned to leave.
Coming to the garden, the old man sat alone and played chess.
Jiang Linxian stepped forward to greet him.
"You have the breath of Master Andriy and Princess Mary."
The old man looked up and motioned for him to sit down.
"I just went to Master Andriy and Princess Mary's room to clean it."
Jiang Linxian replied, and did not greet him politely, but went straight to the point: "Lord Duke, let's play chess together." β
"You can call me Duke Ernst, but you can't say it."
"Yes, Lord Duke Ernst."
ββ¦β¦β
The two began to play Chinese chess seriously, chatting and talking about family life while playing chess.
The old man's chess skills have improved rapidly, when Jiang Linxian played chess with him yesterday, it was very easy, the same as playing chess with a rookie, but today it was very difficult, and every time he played a game, he felt that the difficulty had risen a lot.
After waiting for six games of Chinese chess, it was already afternoon.
Although the old man was still unsatisfied, he seemed to have no thoughts.
"It's a pleasure to play chess with you, young man." Ernst said.
"I don't know how many years have passed, and no one has played chess with me for a long time."
"I've almost forgotten what it's like to play chess together."
"But it feels good."
Jiang Linxian smiled: "It's my honor to be able to play chess with you, especially to play chess with a master like you, it's a pleasure." β
"Hehe, you're very good at talking." Ernst took out a cigarette and lit it.
"But this feeling of being accompanied is coming to an end."
He squinted slightly, as if he was a little reluctant and a little melancholy.
"Young man, I have something important to tell you."
γDingγ
[Duke Ernst's favor +60, Ernst's favorability is full, start the hidden mission!] γ
[Hidden Mission: Ancient Diary!] γ
[Introduction: Ernst has been in the castle for hundreds of years, and his memory has gradually blurred with the long history, but he has a habit of recording things with a diary, and the diary is hidden somewhere by him, find the diary, give it to the Duke of Ernst, maybe he can recover all his memories. γ
[Reward: Special Item: Ancient Diary: This is a diary that will not be forgotten over time, when you record your experiences, you only need to look at them to awaken all your memories (only the memories you have recorded in the diary)]
[EXP +2000]
Jiang Linxian took the task, and then asked curiously, "Duke Ernst, please speak." β
"I always feel uneasy in my heart these days, as if something big is going to happen."
"But I forgot a lot of things, and my memories seemed to be closed."
"So I'd like to ask you to help me find a journal I wrote down before, which should contain something I wanted to know, and it's sealed in a black box."
Jiang Linxian nodded and asked, "Duke Ernst, I also want to help you, but where is your diary stored?" So I can have a search place to help you find it. β
"In an abandoned old house in the back garden, I tried to look for it, but to no avail, maybe you can help me find it." Ernst said.
"Okay, Duke Ernst, I'll help you find the diary as soon as possible."
"It's not too early, I need to go back and get some rest." Ernst got up, hunched over, and walked into the castle.
After obtaining some important clues, Jiang Linxian did not stay any longer, and now it was still half an hour before six o'clock, and he went directly to the hall to prepare to wait for the butler's score.
When I came to the hall, I saw Wang Yuanqi and Steward Nigud here.
The two seemed to be talking about something.
When Wang Yuanqi saw Jiang Linxian appear, he left from Nicold's housekeeper.
When did these two hook up together?
Jiang Linxian retracted his gaze, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
At six o'clock in the evening, the other players came to the hall to assemble, and the butler Nikgood began today's rating.
Wang Yuanqi surprisingly got a 5-point evaluation this time, and the other differences are only three points and two points.
When he arrived at Jiang Linxian, Nigood directly gave zero points.
He was shocked.
After distributing the Chaos Coins, Nigood asked the players to go back and have a good rest, leaving Jiang Linxian behind.
"Any idea why you scored zero today? Bedbug. Steward Nigood sneered
"I heard that you went to the back kitchen last night and stole a lot of food back to the dorm."
"This is something that our castle cannot tolerate."
"So, at the price, you have a zero rating today."
"In addition to that, you need to tear out both of your arms to make you have a long memory!"
As he spoke, Nigood bared his fangs.
He waited for the bug in front of him to look horrified.
Only then will he enjoy the taste of two arms.
