Neverland

Xu Muzhou understood.

"So it means that Brother Yan is given the status of Yongwu Township to ensure that Earl Robert will not be affected at all during this mission?" Xu Muzhou asked.

"I'm afraid so." Song Yan nodded and said, "Although the guiding mission will only last for a period of time, it can end after accompanying the mission target through an important turning point in life, but the impact of the mission target's life on the timeline still exists .”

Yan Cen tapped on the table silently, without speaking.

"But since the guiding task has ended, there is indeed only one Neverland system in this timeline." Song Yan said: "This is probably the reason why Neverland did not notify in advance."

"Zhong Lu did tell me before." Yan Cen looked at Song Yan: "I said that I want to take advantage of your internship opportunity to pick a more troublesome task world, and it seems that this is the trouble."

Song Yan rolled her eyes without caring about her image, and said bluntly: "I knew Huang Shiren would not let go of such a good opportunity... Those two big brothers, what should we do now?"

"Give her the diary." Yan Cen gestured to Xu Muzhou.

Xu Muzhou obediently handed the diary to Song Yan, and thoughtfully attached instructions: "This is Count Robert's diary, and there may be some clues in it. Because the target of this mission has passed away, we need to find it by ourselves." What is her wish, and then solve her wish, this task can be completed."

Song Yan lowered her head and flipped through the notebook in her hand.Her reading habits are different from Xu Muzhou's. She reads the first page of the diary first, then turns back dozens of pages, and then reads the second one.

Song Yan's view is a bit like spot checks in batches. Except for the first and last entries, she divides the entire diary into several sections, and picks one from each section to read.

"Count Robert." Song Yan looked at him and said with emotion: "He is tyrannical and moody... But judging from his diary, he really likes his wife. Man, it really does matter. "

Yan Cen seemed a little tired, half-closed his eyes, and said leisurely: "Your use of the word 'jiang' is a bit interesting."

"In the first place." Song Yan finished reading the diary while speaking, and said: "Robert's diary, based on the roughness of my random check, almost every entry has his wife's name."

Xu Muzhou, who was listening, thought about the contents of the diary he had read just now, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"Robert's words are very strange." Song Yan said, "I always feel that he seems a little—"

"Humble." Xu Muzhou continued.

"Yes!" Song Yan immediately said: "According to what I know about Robert, he is decisive and moody. Logically speaking, he doesn't seem like someone who would put himself in a passive position... Did he change his sex after getting married?"

"I don't think so." Xu Muzhou said, "Look at his last diary—because of a sudden heavy rain, the curtains of the Rose Flower Sky were not opened in time, so he killed and chopped up the servants guarding the flower fields." It was crushed and made into flower mud."

"Hey——" Song Yan shook her head, as if she couldn't bear to look directly at her: "I can live with Robert, and I can handle him well... What kind of strange woman is this Catherine."

Yan Cen's patience ran out, he sat up straight, and said with a final word: "Check it out and you'll know."

"Where to check?" Song Yan asked.

"Catherine is in poor health and rarely goes out. This castle is the only area she can move around." Yan Cen said, "We split into two groups. Xu Muzhou and I went to see the rose field mentioned in the diary. As for you—stay here and ask the servants what they think of Catherine, after all, I have status restrictions, and they won't tell me the whole truth."

"Okay." Song Yan took out her pocket watch and looked at the time: "In an hour, we will meet in the lobby downstairs, how about it?"

"Okay." Yan Cen said.

Song Yan's temper was very agile, she turned around and left without delay.

Seeing her going out, Yan Cen tugged at the golden chain decoration on Xu Muzhou's shoulder, and asked, "Have you rested yet?"

"Good morning." Xu Muzhou got up, patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, walked behind Yan Cen very consciously, and grabbed the handle of his wheelchair: "Rose Garden, right? I'll push you there."

"Thank you." Yan Cen smiled: "Persist for a little longer today."

Because Earl Robert was lame for more than a day or two, the construction of the castle also took this issue into consideration, and specially reserved a gentle slope passage for wheelchairs to pass through for Robert.To Xu Muzhou's surprise, this passage is not adjacent to the stairs in the main hall, but at the other end of the castle corridor on the third floor. After opening the door, you can see a gentle slope that rotates downward.

This is a completely enclosed downward space. Only wooden doors for entry and exit and a platform for deceleration are left on each floor, and the rest are sealed with walls. It is impossible to see such a complete partition from downstairs. Space.

The gentle slope was built very gently, and every few steps there would be a small deceleration barrier to fix the wheelchair. Even if Robert was alone, he should be able to go up and down the stairs freely from here.

Robert has a weird personality, and he doesn't like others to serve him close to him, especially the study, a place that symbolizes "status", where maids and other servants are not allowed to come and go.

"According to Robert's thinking, these people are inferior servants." Yan Cen rested his elbow on the armrest of the wheelchair, rubbed his temples and said, "It's not worthy of serving outside the noble's study."

"But with Robert's legs, you can't live without people around you." Xu Muzhou said matter-of-factly, "Speaking of which, do you know how his legs hurt?"

"It was injured on the battlefield." Yan Cen used his hand as a knife, and gestured on his knee: "The kneecap was broken, and the medical skills at that time were very limited. Although a basic operation was performed, Robert still couldn't stand up. "

"Based on his almost arrogant personality, this is probably not a small blow." Xu Muzhou said, "Maybe his temper has become more unpredictable because of this."

"Yeah." Yan Cen said, "It should be."

If this gentle staircase does not stop in the middle, it can lead directly from the door on the ground floor to the outside of the castle.Xu Muzhou put down his wheelchair for the time being, and opened the wooden door in front of him first.

It was getting late, when Xu Muzhou opened the door, the first thing that greeted him was a humid air full of the fragrance of plants. The heavy rain that had fallen the night before hadn't completely dried up, and the soil on the ground was still a little damp.

Before Xu Muzhou could turn around to pick up Yan Cen, the other party had already turned the wheelchair and walked out on his own.

"This is the back of the castle." Yan Cen roughly glanced around: "The field behind the manor is very large, and there are stretches of rose fields near the wall. Outsiders are generally not allowed to go there. The small garden for afternoon tea is opened up separately. , the racetrack is on the other side."

"You know pretty well." Xu Muzhou closed the door behind his back, and grabbed the handle of the wheelchair again.

"This way." Yan Cen looked back at Xu Muzhou, then sat upright and pointed in the direction.

The wet mud was obviously not suitable for wooden wheelchairs, and the wooden wheels sank into the mud, leaving two obvious ruts behind them.

The farther you go to the edge of the manor, the more intense the scent of flowers in the air. Earl Robert's rose field can be called shocking. You can see the lush rose bushes under the moonlight from a long distance away. You can't see it at a glance. to the side.

"Oh my God." Xu Muzhou stopped in his tracks: "Robert really loves his wife, planting such a big piece."

The luxuriant roses are as tall as half a person, swaying gently in the moonlight.The pure white roses are just about to bloom, and it seems that it will only take two days to fully bloom.

Xu Muzhou walked to the side of the flowers, and wanted to reach out to grab one to have a look, but Yan Cen grabbed his wrist.

"There are thorns." Yan Cen said, "Touch carefully."

"Understood." Xu Muzhou said.

"It's a Damascus rose." Yan Cen looked at the buds and stems around him, and exclaimed, "It's well maintained."

When Yan Cen said this, Xu Muzhou suddenly remembered that the unlucky gardener was in the nourishment of this flower, and instantly felt that the flower was not so beautiful, so he moved Yan Cen's wheelchair back two steps without any explanation.

"...wait a minute." Yan Cen suddenly stopped him.

Yan Cen was sitting in a wheelchair, his perspective was very limited.But Xu Muzhou just made such a turn, but Yan Cen caught something out of the corner of his eye, he frowned, and looked in the direction of the white shadow he saw just now.

"What?" Xu Muzhou asked.

Yan Cen didn't answer, he moved forward in the wheelchair and approached the rose field, looked in for a while, and then suddenly reached out to fish out the flowers.

He reminded Xu Muzhou that roses have thorns just now, but now he seems to have forgotten about it, Xu Muzhou was stunned, and was about to ask him what's wrong, when he saw Yan Cen had withdrawn from the rose bushes hand.

The back of Yan Cen's hand was inevitably scratched by flower thorns, but this could no longer catch the eyes of the two of them.

——Because Yan Cen was holding a palm-sized piece of cloth in his hand.

"This is Catherine's clothes, right?" Xu Muzhou's face was a little ugly: "Why are you here?"

"That's not the point." Yan Cen said.

Before Xu Muzhou could ask him what was the point, Yan Cen had already turned his head, and his eyes fell on a certain position behind Xu Muzhou.

Xu Muzhou followed his gaze blankly and turned around, only to realize that he was looking at the castle not far away.

The moonlight tonight is very bright, and even without lights, most of the scenes in the manor can be seen clearly.

Xu Muzhou knew what Yan Cen was looking at just as soon as he turned his head - because there was a piece of peacock blue fabric that was the same as Yan Cen's hanging outside a window on the fourth floor of the castle. It's hard to see that it's not a ready-to-wear.

Xu Muzhou squinted his eyes to identify it, and found that the piece of cloth was scratched on the window and was being heaved by the wind.

——It was as if someone climbed over the wall from the window, and a piece of skirt was accidentally scraped off.

"Brother Yan..." Xu Muzhou said, "Whose room is that?"

Yan Cen's tone was a bit cold, mixed with the chill of the night wind, it sounded quite real.

"Count Robert's," said Yan Cen.
