The noise of the banquet engulfed everyone in an instant.

"I'll go!" Luo Xiaobei gritted his teeth at the opening moment, his face turned blue.

He wasn't the only one like this, because a strong and intoxicating fragrance covered his face, but there was still a trace of stench that couldn't be concealed underneath.

The contestant said: "Is there a monster this time?"

"Don't panic." Fu Chongming's face was serious, but it was probably smoked. "This is not the smell of monsters. There were no flush toilets in ancient times. If the sanitation conditions were good, the Black Death would not be rampant. The light tower simulates history in this regard. The times are actually a good sign.”

The closer the scene is to the real historical facts, the lower the possibility of magic appearing, which is naturally a good thing for low-level players who basically have no ability to unlock.

But the players are more shaky.

The ball of the old aristocracy has a social function, and every tiny move of the participants is closely related to their identities. The players present wisely choose to stop in silence, and first observe the words and deeds of the NPCs in the field to prevent their behavior from being regarded as heresy.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fu Chongming approached quietly, tilted his head and said softly: "Beautiful lady, you smell so good."

Lu Huaixing glared at him murderously from the corner of his eyes, and hit him with the corner of his forehead when no one was paying attention, and responded: "Madam, you are not bad."

Madam Fu clicked her tongue and sat upright.

But he understood Fu Chongming's warning, quickly opened the handbag beside him, found a perfume bottle in it, and splashed everyone's skirts covertly but without hesitation.

"Brother Lu, I can't breathe!" Luo Xiaobei rolled his eyes.

"Ladies" passed by a lot of attendants, and their eyes seemed to drift towards this side, and they didn't pay attention to this side until Lu Huaixing and Fu Chongming overturned the perfume.

The gentlemen played by the female contestants seemed to be much better. They didn't have to torture themselves. The inner lining of the gentlemen's clothes had already been sewn with sachets.

Zheng Lin gasped and said, "It's dangerous, is this the first trap?"

In an era of heavy taste, the sudden appearance of a few "ladies" who are too fresh will certainly cause doubts.

Fu Chongming leaned closer to Lu Huaixing's ear again: "But sir, you still smell good."

Lu Huaixing put on a half-smile: "Do you want to smell better?" He raised his chin to indicate the stairs outside the hall, where the servant was cleaning up a lump of unknown objects on the ground.

The defense officer thanked Bumin: "No, no matter how good I smell, I can debut as an idol."

Enough was enough, and he turned his head to remind everyone solemnly: "In this scene, you must pay special attention to all the details of life. I know that some will cause extreme discomfort, but compared to surviving, the difficulties of living habits are easy to overcome. I The reason why I don’t want to see who loses the match is because the maid suspects me because I took a shower twice a day.”

The players nodded.

The five female contestants on the sofa in the distance didn't move either. It wasn't that they didn't want to join up, but that men and women were separated at this kind of social dance, and once they got together, it was time to dance or have other social meanings.

The light dimmed just at this moment, there was a figure in front of the sofa, and the strong and sweet perfume smell almost overwhelmed everyone.

"Why is the beautiful Miss Louisa sitting alone? May I ask you to dance?"

The contestants were silent for a while before they realized who "Miss Louisa" was.

"Miss Louisa" looked up at the ancient gentleman coldly, and glanced at his outstretched hands in disgust, but she couldn't refuse.

But before he could raise his hand, another voice interrupted him.

"Sorry, Miss Louisa is not feeling well." Fu Chongming suddenly raised a smiling face, winked at the NPC, and said innocently, "I'm sitting alone, why don't you invite me?"

The gentleman glanced at "Louisa" who had a really bad complexion, turned to Fu Chongming, and put on a pleasant smile: "It's Miss Fanny, isn't your fiancé with you?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat—it seems that everyone in this scene has a name and identity, which are different, and they need to find their own way to find out.

Fu Chongming said with a smile: "If an unmarried lady completely rejects all the gentlemen at the ball, isn't it the gentlemen's loss?"

He didn't deliberately pinch his throat to pretend to be a female voice, but used some vocal skills. Although he was still not shrill, he had a unique deep and gentle voice.

The NPC found no abnormalities.

"You are right, Miss Fanny, my honor." The NPC immediately extended his hand to Fu Chongming, and Fu Chongming raised his gloved hand to gently put it on. When he got up, Lu Huaixing saw his vest flashing And the blade of the saber.

Lu Huaixing quickly tapped on his palm.

——The situation is unclear, so don't act rashly.

Fu Chongming didn't look back, and followed that NPC into the dance floor. He should be squatting under the exaggerated skirt, otherwise his height of 1.9 meters would definitely be suspicious.

"He, did he really go dancing?"

The man who spoke turned pale, and Zheng Lin frowned and analyzed: "According to the customs of this kind of noble social ball, the message that the refusal to dance may convey is that the entire family refuses to cooperate with the other party. Even if there is no other intention, it must It's a ceremonial dance, but you probably don't need to worry about it."

The man who spoke at the beginning was one of the ugly ladies. Although Zheng Lin meant that he was too ugly and too old, he was very relieved.

"Don't relax too early." Lu Huaixing said coldly, "Haven't you heard of a rich widow remarrying?"

The man's face turned purple.

This mouth seemed to have been opened, and after a while, another invitation to dance came, and it was really aimed at that man, and he was also a young gentleman.

The male contestant looked at the handsome young man with tears in his eyes, and bit the bullet and agreed.

Lu Huaixing also got up: "Go, go and collect clues."

Only by playing your own identity well can you not be caught when you don't know anything.

The dance party is not always a dance. Groups of aristocratic ladies lead the maids, waiting reservedly on the sidelines for the gentleman's invitation, and the noble ladies gather together to chat about family gossip.Lu Huaixing passed by the sofas of those female players, and gestured to the venue with his eyes.

Qin Ai'ai was not among this group of female contestants. The competition system broadcast a total of 30 contestants, but there were only 12 in the ball, and the others were probably not of noble status.

Fortunately, some of these female contestants like to watch period dramas, knowing that gentlemen can't always sit on the sidelines and neglect ladies, so they nodded to Lu Huaixing, they were very smart to choose to invite NPCs instead of male contestants, trying to actively obtain identity information.

Soon Lu Huaixing found that the female NPCs in the place he walked by retreated slightly, showed some meaningful eyes, covered their mouths with fans, pretended to glance at him casually, and then talked in a low voice.

His ears are strong enough to hear the whispers of those noble women who thought they were low:

"It's Louisa, look at her stern look..."

"Three fiancées died, why are you still putting on a reserved face?"

"The last one didn't die, the last one was that the family was found to be collaborating with the enemy."

They smiled with perfect etiquette, and laughed endlessly with their lips squirming.

"I've held several dances this month, no one wants to propose to her..."

"It is estimated that I will only go to the monastery in the end. With her family's financial resources, it is no problem to be the dean~"

"Not necessarily. The Duke's family only has one daughter. Didn't you see that several of them desperately joined together just now!"

Turning around, the identities of several people were also revealed. Lu Huaixing was obviously the only daughter of the duke with the reputation of "Kefu". Luo Xiaobei was his cousin from other places, named Luo Lin, the daughter of a viscount, who was sent to her family. Come to socialize with girlfriends.

The other contestants were in better condition. Zheng Lin was an ordinary noble lady, and the other three wore women's clothing. The only one who was dancing was a widow. The other two were married ladies, so they were relatively safe.

The banquet was still going on, and the servants outside the door suddenly rushed in. On the steps on the second floor, there was a middle-aged woman with hair that looked like a Christmas tree. She was the mother of "Miss Louisa" in the plot.

"Duchess, outside—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of clanging footsteps from the porch outside.

The music stopped and the Duchess went downstairs sullenly.The door opened, and a group of men in silver armor and red uniforms came in neatly. There were crosses drawn on their breastplates, swords around their waists, and iron spears in their hands.

"Templars... why are the Templars here?"

The crowd whispered.

The butler next to the Duchess immediately said loudly: "I don't know if the master knights have any decrees to convey, but no one has notified us, we are ready to entertain you in advance—"

The bearded leader took off his helmet, raised a piece of brown parchment in his hand, and shouted: "According to the provisions of the Heresy Law, it has been reported that a servant of the devil came into this ball in disguise, for the sake of the Duke's Palace and everyone Be safe, we must make a surprise arrest, and please remain calm, no devil can harm people under the noses of the Templars! Please stay where you are, and trouble the housekeeper to call all the servants in."

Although it was not honorable to be broken into a private ball, the Duchess did not want to disobey the knight holding the church search warrant at will, so she could only suppress her anger, smile politely, and allow the intruder to search around.

The knights pushed up their masks, and a young knight in the queue stood out. He had red lips and white teeth, and was extremely handsome. Many noble ladies blushed quietly, but Lu Huaixing raised his eyebrows slightly. Not only him, but all the players We all know that man--

"Qin Aiai?" Zheng Lin exclaimed in a low voice, "She actually entered the competition???"

Several contestants, like Tan Qiu who met in the novice field, saw the lucky idol appearing in the game, as if they had been splashed with ice water, and their faces were miserable.

Qin Aiai was wearing a heavy knight's armor, holding up a spear and poking around.In this era, only men wear high heels, so she is lucky to make up for her height. The idol is not zero in acting skills, but with makeup, she is the most suitable for her status among the contestants.

"Masters must have made a mistake." After a while, the butler said, "But since everyone has worked hard for so long, why don't you drink some—"

"what!"

The butler's face changed, and there was a sudden commotion from behind the crowd. Two burly knights dragged out a kitchen maid. Yes, I didn't lie!"

The knight captain didn't waver, and walked over directly, even tearing off her clothes in public.

The crowd was in an uproar, and there were large irregular black and red spots on the skin under the maid's clothes, located on the left shoulder and left waist.

"Witch!" The captain roared, and his subordinate immediately brought up a barbed iron cage, "The mark of the devil can no longer be hidden, how dare you argue!"

Luo Xiaobei whispered: "Brother Lu—isn't that a player?"

"No." Lu Huaixing shook his head, "But the head maid next to him should be."

The head maid was a middle-aged male contestant who was also made up as an ugly girl, but his expression when he saw the "witch" was obviously different from the frightened and spurned others. He was more nervous and inexplicable, because he didn't seem to understand those things. How did Madara become the witch's mark? It really seems to have been knocked out.

"Bleeding spots should be one of the symptoms of the Black Death." Lu Huaixing frowned.

"Damn." All the players backed away in panic.

The plague is far more deadly than a witch who doesn't know whether she exists or not.

Some of the servant players also recognized the most terrifying infectious disease in the past, so the emotions on their faces seemed much more real.

The weeping and wailing maid was roughly stuffed into the cage. The Duchess looked extremely ugly and waved her hands in disgust: "Quick, take this evil witch away!"

"Madam, don't worry, of course we will purify this evil spirit." The knight commander said.

But suddenly, another servant ran in from the outside in a panic. Because the hall was in a mess, he couldn't get to the lady's side, so he had to yell on the spot:

"Ma'am, Miss, something is wrong, Your Excellency the Duke has contracted the plague of witches!"

The author has something to say: Fu Mou: It's Xiangxiang's chief!

Mr. Shuang: This person is eliminated.
