Rear……

Back to the kitchen again.

The back kitchen is still the same as before, with the noise of work and low-pitched chatter.

When Lu Jia stepped into the back kitchen, it seemed like everyone was looking at him, but it didn't seem like everyone was doing their own thing seriously.

The old housekeeper was assigning jobs to the newcomers. When he saw Lu Jia, he stopped and saluted Lu Jia: "Young master."

This time, everyone really looked at Lu Jia. The newcomers were surprised, while the old servants looked at Lu Jia quietly.

Lu Jia, who was watched by so many people, wanted to run away, or put his head in a sack to cover his face.

His face was a little hot, and he nodded to the old housekeeper.

The old servants withdrew their eyes and continued to work, and the newcomers were quickly taken away separately. Finally, no one looked at Lu Jia, and he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.

"Young master." The old housekeeper came to Lu Jia after assigning the work, "Master Earl asked me to tell you that you need to stay with the servant for fifteen days. This is your punishment."

Lu Jia nodded to show that he understood.

In fact, he still felt that the earl's punishment was a bit light—no, just thinking about it, and he didn't have the will to ask for an increase.

Lu Jia thought about it, if he was a powerful figure at the top of the pyramid, and someone wanted to assassinate him... Maybe he would be sent to a labor camp.

As for the earl who stood at the top of the castle's power, he only cut Lu Jia's neck when he was holding the murder weapon - he was bandaged, and he was changed to another room - only [-] days.

Lu Jia felt that the earl was doing charity to him.

But it was such an earl that made Lu Jia even more curious, why did he indulge Thanatus to kill people?Why did others secretly call him a monster?How did the agreement between the castle and other villages come about?

All these questions cannot be asked to the earl face to face, and now Lu Jia can only ask the old housekeeper.

So the old butler took him to the restaurant for dinner.

Sitting in the gorgeous restaurant, cutting the sizzling lamb chops, Lu Jia looked up at the old butler: "May I ask you something?"

"I am willing to answer for you." The old butler saluted.

Lu Jia thought for a while, and asked the first question: "Do you know that there are... two Earls in the castle?"

The wind blew past the candles on the dining table, and the fire flickered for a while. The expression on the straight old butler's face was somewhat blurred in the darkness.

"Yes, young master. There are two Lord Earls in the castle." The old butler replied.

"Then do you know why Earl Thanatus wanted to kill people?" Lu Jia asked urgently.

This was the question he most wanted to know the answer to.

It was about his perception of the Earl - even if no one cared about his perception.

"Young master, the Earl is only performing his duties." The old butler's voice carried the patience and smile of a kind old man treating an ignorant child.

"Perhaps you can go to the earl's study. A book called "Eternal Garden of Eden" may answer your doubts."

"Eternal Garden of Eden"?

Lu Jia suddenly remembered the fantasy sycophantic novel that was on the bedside table when he woke up.

Does that novel contain the answers to the questions I wanted to ask?

Historical facts mixed into myths?

"I see, thank you." Lu Jia began to eat dinner quietly.

After dinner, he bid farewell to the old butler and hurried towards his room.

The answer... what kind of answer is it...

When he arrived at the corridor, it was still very quiet. Others were still busy with work and did not come back. He hurriedly opened the door and entered his room, then closed the door, and took out the book in the drawer of the bedside table.

The thick books were spread out in his hands.

Difficult to eliminate those flattering compliments, Lu Jia tried hard to distinguish useful information.

This is a very difficult job, because those rhetorical flattery occupies more than 95% of the content of the whole book. If those compliments are removed, there must be only a few thin pages left in this thick book.

"...he walks on the earth...bringing people eternal rest...the great scythe is his symbol..."

"...all the newborns looked in his direction...that is the source of life..."

"Knock knock!"

Before he could find any useful information, there was a knock on Lu Jia's door.

"Lu Jia, it's me, can you open the door?"

It was Sophia's voice.

Lu Jia put the book back in the drawer, got up and opened the door.

Sophia hurried in and closed the door, then looked at Lu Jia with concern and asked, "Lu Jia, are you okay? Are you injured? Did it hurt you?"

"It's okay." Lu Jia lowered his head and lowered his eyes, touching the bandage on his neck.

——For criminals with murderous intentions, this is no longer considered harm.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Sophia asked softly.

Lu Jia looked up at her.

Her eyes are so innocent, with worry, people want to tell her everything.

"... Sophia, can you tell me more about the count?" Lu Jia avoided the subject.

Sophia looked at him fixedly, and then said softly, "I've told you everything I know."

"Let's go." She took Lu Jia's hand and walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Lu Jia hurriedly asked, being staggered.

"Go to see Lord Abra." Sophia turned her head, real hope burst out in those eyes, bright scorching eyes.

Lu Jia was a little surprised, his heart suddenly became uneasy, he always felt that there was something fake about getting along with Sophia, such as... such as the hope in Sophia's eyes now.

In contrast, Sophia's expression of hope towards him was so crudely fake.

"Sophia, Sophia!" Lu Jia who was being dragged away stopped in her tracks, unwilling to follow her out to meet any adults.

Lu Jia stood in a stalemate with Sofia at the door.

Sophia also stopped in her tracks, with her back facing Lu Jia's smooth blonde hair braided into beautiful braids, looking delicate and beautiful.

"Sophia..." Lu Jia couldn't help but lower his voice.

Speaking of which, Lu Jia had never rejected others so forcefully and loudly before, and he didn't even have a chance to quarrel with others as he was so hard-working.

Sophia turned her head slowly, tears streaming down her face.

Her pain and jealousy can be felt in those sincere teardrops.

"You're not going to die!" she screamed.

Lu Jia was a little taken aback.

"You won't die! You will never die!" Sophia's eyes were no longer innocent, and jealousy like a poisonous snake hovered in her eyes, "Why won't you die?!"

"You will not die if you deliver food to the count!"

"You won't die if you get close to the count!"

"Even if you go to assassinate the count, you won't die!"

"Why don't you die?!"

Her soft face was twisted with jealousy and resentment.

"I survived so hard! Why don't you die!"

She turned around and violently pushed Lu Jia to the ground.

"Yesterday, I finally dragged that old woman to the hall, so she didn't die!"

"What about you? You'll never die!"

"Why won't you die! Why!"

"You won't die, so why let me do it, just kill it! It's all because of your selfishness! It's all because you didn't kill it in advance! It's all about you!"

Lu Jia, who was pushed to the ground, stared at Sophia who was gradually going crazy.

"——hahaha!" Sophia laughed suddenly, she bent down and grabbed one of Lu Jia's ankles, her strength was surprisingly strong, she didn't have the strength a girl should have at all, dragged Lu Jia out abruptly, whispering with.

"Lord Abraham is here, he has come to save us."

"You will die too!"

"Only you will die!"

Lu Jia struggled desperately. He never thought that a girl would be so strong, but even if he kicked Sofia hard with his other foot, she still dragged Lu Jia forward unswervingly.

"Let go of me Sophia!"

Sophia glanced back, her gaze was colder than any one Lu Jia had ever seen, carrying the hatred that killed him.

Lu Jia froze for a moment, goosebumps all over his body.

Sophia turned back and dragged Lu Jia to the second room on the right—the new room she occupied after killing the old woman.

You should be cowardly.

"Save—" Before he finished speaking, the sound of metal hitting the ground sounded.

The sun had just set, and if the sky was still pale when viewed from the window, this was not the time for the Earl to act.

It was at least an hour or more before it was completely dark.

Sophia's footsteps stopped, her body trembled, and she turned her head in panic.

In the corridor stood a man in a black cloak holding a huge scythe. Where he was, there was darkness.

"Help——Lu Jia, save me——!" Sophia's eyes turned into the innocence that Lu Jia was familiar with, and fragile tears fell down.

Cold light flashed.

A large piece of hot blood fell on Lu Jia's body.

"Bang bang!" The heavy object fell on the corridor, and blood flowed out, gathering into a big pool.

Lu Jia's ankle was free again, and he raised his head amidst the blood red, looking at the person who represented death.

"Tanatus..."

His lips were trembling.

say what?Say don't kill her?

The presence of Thanatus saved him, and he could not say such words.And he still didn't understand why Thanatus wanted to kill people.

"vomit--"

In the end, he could only vomit, and he vomited until he could no longer vomit.

Thanatus watched Lu Jia vomit quietly from the sidelines, until he had no strength to vomit, then hooked his back collar with a sickle and dragged him back to the room.

"boom!"

Dragging Lu Jia back to the room, Thanatus closed the wooden door and turned to leave.

Lu Jia curled up on the ground in embarrassment.

It was late at night.

The next day, the wooden door was knocked by the old housekeeper, and hot water and a change of clothes were brought in.

After taking care of himself, Lu Jia went out, and the old butler was waiting outside.

"Young master." The old butler said hello.

Lu Jiake nodded his head dispensably, his eyes wandering and unfocused.

"My lord earl specifically told me to give you a gift." The old butler smiled and clapped his hands.

The person who was hiding far behind came out, she looked at Lu Jia, then lowered her head meekly.

Lu Jia's eyes finally had focus, and he opened his eyes wide to look at this person.

"The Earl said, since it's something you like, you can keep it."

Lu Jia looked at Sophia, who was docile and bowed her head, with trembling fingers.

The person who died in front of him yesterday is alive again in front of him, he can see it, even touch it, and it exists vividly.

"My lord, I hope you don't feel uneasy anymore."

Lu Jia suddenly remembered that mythological novel that he thought was mixed with historical facts.

Life is being played wantonly right in front of him.

He finally had to admit that it might be a nonfiction novel.

The system sent him in front of some incredible existence!
