[Barrage: Isn't this reasoning ability too strong? 】
[Bullet screen; I knew that my little brother could do it, I burst into tears, this time I can finally wait to pass the level! 】
In the picture, Lin Yin and the others also showed very surprised expressions.
I didn't expect that the attitudes of Aji and Axiang would change so quickly, and I didn't expect Maria to have such a story with their ancestors.
But after thinking about it, the train of thought is smooth - after all, Maria's lover comes to the castle every year, and it is very likely that he is the bard's predecessor.It's just that I didn't expect a story from hundreds of years ago to reawaken people's emotions.
And the one who can discover all this...
Lin Yin gave Yu Yue a complicated look.I can't imagine how Yu Yue noticed this small silver jewelry in such a critical situation at that time, and at the same time connected it with a beautiful story.
Is he not afraid, not afraid?Don't you want to think about things in the dark side?
Yu Yue, who was being watched by Lin Yin, didn't realize that he was special at all. At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's great!"
Aji did what he said, so he immediately called a few capable young men and asked them to take Yu Yue, Joshua, and Karl to visit the townspeople. They wanted to collect as much information as possible. Then I plan to find a few familiar cooks, and first prepare the food that the earl may like and that may be used in the banquet.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, even Ah Xiao, who had never dared to speak, showed a shy smile, and Gou Zhu finally began to beam.
However, when they walked out of the church and saw the setting sun like blood falling among the clouds, they immediately realized that it was getting late.
Lin Yin shook her head and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's too late to go around the town."
"It's okay," the young man who led them said loudly, "You go to Grandma Karl's house first, and I'll tell anyone who has a clue to go to Grandma Karl's house to look for you!"
It was a good idea, so several people came to Grandma Karl's cabin.
The hut was very messy, the only wooden bed was squeezed aside, a bowl of half-drunk medicine was placed on the table, and some Sucia's clothes were scattered on the chair.
It was a very painful scene at first, but now because Suzia "woke up" again and went to the castle, the depression and pain were swept away, and the whole room seemed much brighter.
Karl first asked Yu Yue and the others to sit on the bed and chairs, and then searched around in the messy room by himself. Finally, he found a few rolls of yellowed parchment from under a wooden box, and squinted at the blue glass beads. After reading it through with eyes like eyes, and taking out a few small objects from nowhere, he sat down on the small wooden bar in the center of the room and told the story he knew in more detail.
The first thing that was taken out was an old copper coin with a handsome young man engraved on it.This copper coin is perfectly made, the bottom plate is smooth and flat, and the portrait is vivid and lifelike. Although it has been patinaed at this time, the eyes of the person in the painting still seem to be alive.
Several people passed the copper coin in their hands, and agreed that the young man was very similar to the earl.
"It is rumored that the Earl ruled this territory when he was very young," Aunt Carl said slowly. He is very picky. He can’t see a weed on the road, can’t see people eating and lazy, and can’t see fruit trees being barren. In short, he led the people in the town to build all these. This copper coin is handed down by our ancestors who tell the story. , representing that he has brought us prosperity."
From Grandma Karl's words, several people seemed to have seen the count's shadow, and they all listened intently.
Aunt Karl took out a worn red dancing shoe and a worn black leather shoe.
"Since then, everyone no longer has to worry about their livelihoods. They are threatened by cold and poverty, and they all live happily and happily. In order to share this happiness with others, there are gatherings, dinners and dances in the town. Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Earl, who looks very arrogant on weekdays, actually liked the lively ball very much - at that time, there were many girls in the town who admired him, let alone girls, even the boys wished he could dance every day. See him. But everyone soon discovered that the Earl never easily accepted other people's invitations. At that time, the most beautiful girl and the most handsome boy in the town jumped the brand new dancing shoes in front of him, but they couldn't dance with him. .”
This incident may not be true, and the physical evidence may not be true—who can pass down two shoes for thousands of years?
But the fact is so strange that when seeing these two shoes, everyone who listens to this story thinks it is true.
Yu Yue and Lin Yin were all fascinated by what they heard.
Grandma Karl looked at them and smiled, put down the things in her hands, but her voice dropped.
"Later, the earl began to hold dinner parties in the castle regularly, but one day, the singer who was preparing to sing did not show up. It turned out that her father who was the housekeeper died. Everyone was very kind at that time, and everyone felt for her Sad. That day, there was no music, no laughter, no dance moves."
"This sentiment spoiled the count's well-prepared dinner. The count may have been angry, or he may have felt sad. In short, he interrupted the banquet-because death was inevitable, and probably in order to prevent the same thing from happening again. Since then, he It seems that he is no longer enthusiastic about banquets, and he no longer leaves the castle."
"Never walked out of the castle again?" Yu Yue couldn't help asking.He didn't expect the story to end so abruptly.
"Yes, never again. The earl disappeared from everyone's life, but people still built this town according to the earl's request. Several years passed, and the girl who cried bitterly at the banquet also got old Suddenly, one day, some people said that they saw the girl's father coming back at night and brought the old and dead girl back to the castle. Some people said that he also saw a more mature, handsome, handsome, and ageless earl. On the same night , everyone heard the lively sound of the ball being held in the castle, and this is how the legend came about."
When Carl said this, he stopped to rest, while Joshua was thoughtful, plucking the accordion with his fingers.
[Barrage: Is this really a horror story? 】
[Barrage: Earl is really the boss of the horror dungeon? ?My God, what kind of a story line did my little brother come up with? 】
[Barrage: But he is indeed dead!It's quite heartwarming to hear this, but what happened next? 】
"Then what happened afterwards?" In the picture, Yu Yue also asked softly.
"The later stories are more diverse. From then on, people in the town will always disappear quietly-the children who stumbled and fell into the water, the old people who died of illness, often disappear. The earl I told you will Loyal and hardworking subjects brought back to the castle is one of the theories. There are also some theories that the earl, in order to avoid his own death, would choose beautiful girls and young boys as food at the banquet to extend his own life ’” Carl said.
Obviously, she chose the better one and told Sucia about it.
"Is that why Sucia admires the count so much?" Yu Yue asked, remembering that Sucia had to prepare gifts for the count before.
Speaking of this, Karl showed a puzzled expression and shook his head: "That's not true. At that time, the child was sick and sometimes fainted suddenly. In order not to worry him, I told him the story of the count. Since then, he has regarded this incident as a thought, and said several times that he dreamed of the story my father told him in his dream-sorry, my father has passed away for a long time, and I have no way of knowing that he told this child What. Sucia refused to tell me in detail, but she only admired the count more and more. I blamed all this on the child's fear of death, and neglected to find the reason behind it."
"Then will Sucia know more?" Ah Xiao couldn't help interjecting.
Karl shook his head again: "The child has been in a daze. When his grandfather was still there, because of the monsters that always appeared at night, many people were already very afraid of the count, and few people were willing to listen to his grandfather's story about the count. . . . my father probably felt so frustrated that he kept telling Suzia a kid about these things."
Several people fell into silence again. Beside Yu Yue, Lin Yin had been frowning and thinking, and then raised his head: "There are still doubts."
Everyone looked at her, and she said: "You believe that the monster at night is related to the earl, do you have any basis for this?"
Before Carl could answer, there was a rude knock on the door of the room.
A big man poked his head in to take a look, and said to the people outside the door: "Here, whoever can provide useful clues, Kaichun can get an extra bag of seeds. Clues cannot be repeated, understand?"
There was a burst of cheers outside the door, and then a crowd of black heads squeezed in.
The situation was very scary, and everyone who was sitting in the room stood up one after another.
"Sit, sit," said the big man in the lead, "you are all Aji's friends, and so are they, then everyone will be friends—they will leave after a few words."
As the big man moved away, the tall, short, fat and thin townspeople behind him spoke one after another, for fear that their information would be preempted by others.
"Oh, I knew you were real little butlers! You are more kind-hearted than the butlers I have seen before. Let me tell you, those butlers before were not good people. They looked at each other and tricked us away. There are some good things."
"The worst thing was the housekeeper who came last year. After taking Aji's father away, he never came back. We also caught them, but they were so powerful that they couldn't be tied with ropes or closed in the room. The next day Not even a shadow of anyone."
"Shh, don't mention about Aji's father..."
The townspeople talked a lot, shaking out all the strange things in recent years.
After hearing this, a few people understood—the first few batches of players who entered this dungeon all took away bards, musicians, and good lyricists, and many of them had no news, which made everyone feel nervous. scared.
That would make sense, the players appeared as the Earl's butlers, but ended up abducting everyone in the town. It's no wonder that the townspeople thought that the Earl was with the monsters who were catching people everywhere at night.
But why do players do such a thing?
"Blood moon?" Lin Yin hinted at Yu Yue with his mouth.
Yu Yue nodded. He had been threatened by Xueyue before, and he also guessed that Xueyue was behind it.But he still couldn't figure out why those players were willing to listen to Blood Moon's words: "It must be Blood Moon that made everyone have this misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Gou Zhu, who was listening on the side, almost shouted, and then immediately realized something, and said in a low voice, "You don't think the Earl is okay after hearing it? Even if the blood moon is the way, it's that thing, But the habits of werewolves are exactly the same as those of vampires, how are you so sure that the Earl will not eat people? Is this something that you have forgotten that we were almost sucked dry too?"
"No," Yu Yue frowned, "Miss Maria is very nice, and so is the Earl, everyone is very polite. Do you have no judgment at all?"
[Bullet screen: Slot hahahaha God Nima's judgment, although you are in the same instance, you are not in the same world at all.What the little brother sees is good, what the dog sees is bad. 】
[Barrage: You are not in the same world 1. 】
[Barrage: What kind of person sees what kind of world! 】
[Barrage: Earl, Earl, did you hear that?Such an obedient little brother is still not cleared? 】
[Barrage: Isn't it?etc?You also believe it?I've seen it from the front and now I feel incredible, can there really be such a kind boss in this world? 】
In the picture, Gou Zhu was choked by Yu Yue, and asked Ah Xiao and Lin Yin very unconvinced: "Listen to what he said, it completely beautifies Bo... Earl, is this reasonable?"
Gou Zhu counted on these two people to support him. After all, Lin Yin looked like an old player, and A Xiao seemed to be scared by the dungeon boss—these two should know how scary the boss is, right?
However, to his surprise, Lin Yin reasoned: "If the original rumors are true, and it was the Earl who led the town to prosper, I don't think he would want to treat the people here as food."
Ah Xiao had no sense of judgement, and just interjected: "I don't know too well. But the female vampire in the castle, she saved my brother, so I think they are good people!"
Gou Zhu: "..."
Gou Zhu: "???"
He couldn't understand the brain circuit of this group of people at all, and was about to say more, but heard a townsman interjected: "Oh, speaking of saving lives, I was working one night when I suddenly felt dizzy and fell into the mud all of a sudden." In the end, I only heard a 'whoosh' in my ear, and then my head hit my own door—I always thought I was dreaming, but now that I think about it, maybe a nobleman came to save me, right?"
"And my daughter," whispered a woman with a cloth kerchief on her head, "my daughter accidentally fell into the lake and drowned, and her body was never found. I cried every day during those days, and later There were monsters in the town, and I was disheartened and did not avoid them. I said in my heart that I would let the monsters eat me. But that night, I saw my daughter outside the window and kept watch for me all night. But everyone said I was confused. Do you think it was really the earl who took my daughter away and let her survive?"
Man is such a magical creature, always following the words of the previous person to associate with the next thing, a bad head brings bad things, and a good head brings good things.Now, with Lin Yin and A Xiaodi's good start, and the clues from the other two townspeople, the others immediately thought of many similar things.
The townspeople started chattering again, this time talking about the good guy who suddenly appeared at night, and they even added fuel and vinegar to add a lot of romance.From the beautiful figures beside the reeds to the burly guardians outside the windows, they all have dark green or deep red eyes, which are fascinating.
"I've written it all down." After the big man sent away the chattering townspeople, Joshua put away the reed pipe and papyrus, "I came up with a song that is very suitable for this mysterious night. The people who disappeared in the town People, mysterious tenants at night, gentlemen and ladies who guard the townspeople, this is a good subject!"
Several people looked out of the window. At this time, the sky had completely darkened, which meant that they were about to return to the castle and deliver the answer to the butler.
"Let's go," Lin Yin was the first to stand up, "When we get back to the castle, we have to confirm with Sucia how to tell this story."
"Just use this version?" Ah Xiao was a little worried.
The only Gou Zhu who didn't believe this story at all didn't express his opinion at all. Anyway, for him, as long as the team doesn't leave him or let him act alone, he doesn't have much idea about doing anything.
[Barrage: Can you really pass the level?The story sounds a little too good to be true. 】
[Bullet screen: You don't have a choice, you have to say nice things in front of people.Even if the earl is a big vampire, you can only praise him in front of him, right?Are you going to say in front of the earl that there is an earl in this world who only deceives boys and girls? 】
[Barrage: Ha ha ha ha, the previous article, are you going to laugh people to death? 】
[Barrage: But I always have a feeling that they are too smooth and calm this time...]
【Barrage:? ? ?Don't be a crow's mouth! 】
Perhaps the premonition of the live viewers as bystanders was more accurate. In the screen, as soon as a few people went out, they bumped into Aji who was hurrying towards him.
Aji was followed by several young people, holding bamboo baskets with delicious cooked food in their hands.
And the last young man was holding a little lamb as white as a cloud in his hand.
"Cooked food and raw food are available," Aji said to several people, his eyes fell on Yu Yue's face, "Even if we want fresh blood, we have prepared a lamb, and we can use the blood of a lamb. Tonight, we All will remain in the church, with fire and weapons."
This is already the greatest degree of help Aggie can give.
Without this young man who has been guarding the town, they might not have heard such a complete story today.
Yu Yue bowed to thank him earnestly, and then asked in a low voice, "May I meet your father before I leave?"
In the dungeon world, the most frightening thing is death, and most people avoid it.His request of "seeing the dead" made everyone unexpected, Lin Yin looked over in surprise, Gou Zhu's face was full of disbelief, and he looked at Yu Yue again with an expression like he was looking at a fool.
Even Aji didn't expect it, there was a crack in his expression, and he turned to stare at him.
"I promised you that I would find out the truth for you." Yu Yue explained.
Aji was silent for a moment, taking a deep breath.After a while, he nodded: "Okay, come with me."
Lin Yin, the others and a group of young people stayed where they were and waited.Yu Yue followed Aji through the path north of the town and came to a remote open space.
Here, several withered bodies are being placed, and the townspeople are transporting the newly found corpses not far away.Their movements were very careful, as if they were deceiving others.When they saw Aji and Yu Yue, they greeted them politely.
"It's best not to let too many townspeople know about this." Aji explained to Yu Yue.
Yu Yue understood immediately.At present, only a few people know what happened in the orchard, and Aji hid it, effectively avoiding panic in the whole town.Thinking about it, in the past so many years, he has been doing this all the time—he neither gave up the beautiful legend, but secretly dealt with the funeral for the townspeople who had the accident.
As he himself said, he is both tolerant and loyal.
Aji led Yu Yue across the open space, but within a short while he came to a man who was lying on his back on the ground.His father didn't look very old, his hair was golden brown like his own, his eyes were closed, and his lips were tightly shut.
Aji's father was dressed in decent clothes and even had a smile on his lips.
"When we found him, he was still holding a dry leaf in his hand. Could this be a clue?"
As Aji said, he bent down and fiddled with his father's palm, and sure enough, he saw a withered yellow leaf there.His voice was very low, and although he was very restrained, there was still pain in it that was hard to hide.
Naturally, a single withered and yellow leaf could not be a clue.
But Yu Yue thought about it and said, "Can you give me this leaf?"
It was just a leaf, not a treasure, so Aji handed it to Yu Yue without much thought.He himself didn't have much hope for finding out the truth, but when he saw that Yu Yue always remembered this matter, his attitude became better: "This night road is not safe, you should be careful."
Yu Yue put the dead leaves into the small package by his side.This action alarmed Zai Zai who was lying inside, and Zai Zai got up, picked up the leaf with disgust, and put it down again.Yu Yue stretched out his hand to arrange the leaves, raised his head, pursed his lips and said to Aji, "Don't worry!"
Aji was stunned for a moment, and for a moment felt that this matter was hopeful.
But what hope could there be?It's ridiculous.
He shook his head, led the way in silence, and brought Yu Yue back to the entrance of the town.
Lin Yin and the others had been waiting anxiously, because the night had fallen like a curtain, covering the entire town.The surrounding area seemed very quiet.
Seeing Yu Yue approaching, they waved repeatedly, but Yu Yue raised his head and glanced at the sky.
I saw the dark clouds dissipate, and the dark blue night sky was like a calm ocean, dotted with stars—there was no scary blood moon.
[Barrage: There is no red moon! 】
[Barrage: I'm completely relieved, woo woo woo, does that mean there will be no werewolves tonight? 】
【Bullet screen: Then we'll see if they can pass the level at night. 】
In the picture, Aji and several young people also looked up and saw the beautiful starry sky that they hadn't seen for a long time. They waved heavily and sent the young man in moon white clothes away.
"Will the Earl like the food we found?" Ah Xiao asked in a low voice in the quiet night after everyone had walked for a while.
"It's hard to say," Lin Yin said, looking back and seeing no townspeople, "According to the clues we have so far, when a vampire is extremely hungry, what he needs most is blood."
"Then what did you just say that the earl doesn't treat people as food!" Gou Zhu grabbed Lin Yin's words and jumped up.
"For us, as long as we can complete the task and hold the banquet smoothly, we can pass the level. You said this in front of so many townspeople just now, and it is easy to arouse their fear. Of course I have to refute you." Lin Yin said Expressionless.
On the side, Joshua, who was supporting Grandma Karl, snorted softly, "So, you don't believe in the Earl?"
Gou Zhu became furious when he heard this, but Lin Yin stopped him with his eyes.
He turned his head, and his face turned pale immediately.
I saw them passing the orchard they had seen during the day again. At this time, cloth strips were dancing in the orchard, and it seemed to be full of ghosts.
Yu Yue also turned to look at the orchard, but his face was not as frightened as the others, and he even said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go in and have a look."
Gou Zhu's fried hair arrived even though he was late: "Are you crazy? It's so scary inside!"
Of course, his opinion had no effect on Yu Yue. Although Lin Yin was worried, he also felt the need to explore this area.In the end, they decided that Ah Xiao and Gou Zhu would stay outside, while Lin Yin and Yu Yue entered the orchard.
Without those strange white mist, although the orchard is desolate, it is more fresh than before. After the dead leaves on the ground are crushed, they make a crisp sound.
The further you walked in, the more tall trees there were. Yu Yue stopped and carefully observed the fallen leaves on the ground.
Yes, the leaves of this tall tree were exactly the same as the dead leaves lying beside Zai Zai at this time.
"Do you think there is something wrong with the fruit trees here?" Lin Yin asked in a low voice.
Yu Yue nodded, but did not say the reason.
Zai Zai seems to like the fruit in this orchard.Judging from the similarity between Zai Zai's habits and vampires' habits, there is a high probability that vampires will also like this fruit.But……
Yu Yue picked off a large but rotten fruit, held it in his hand and looked at it.The fruit is soft and has a lot of juice.
Zai Zai lying in the pocket seemed to be attracted by the smell, poked his head out excitedly, saw a rotten fruit, and lay back down bored.
Its disappointment can be seen just from that little action.
It seemed that vampires would never like rotten fruit.
"I'll check to see if there are any fresh fruits." Yu Yue paused, not convenient to mention Zai Zai, but just tried to explain the reason why he paid attention to this orchard with the usual reasoning of "players", "This orchard It looks suspicious, Aggie's father has also been here, maybe it has something to do with vampires."
Hearing what he said, Lin Yin couldn't help but look at him in surprise.You know, this is the first time Yu Yue has used this method to analyze the dungeon. Before that, he seemed to make choices based on intuition.
After all, Yu Yue still grew up.Lin Yin was a little relieved and said: "Yes, there must be some reason why the Blood Moon props chose this place as the base point. What I am most worried about now is that this fruit is the correct answer, and there are not many fresh fruits left here. What if That’s true, we still can’t pass the customs.”
【Barrage:! !That said, it's really possible! 】
[Barrage: Then how to fix it?Has all the previous efforts been in vain? 】
"It's possible," Yu Yue hesitated for a moment, and picked out a shriveled fruit from a pile of rotten fruits. This time, Zai Zai snatched it right away, "But..."
Lin Yin also started to help find fruit: "But?"
"Every painting we saw in the castle has red silk threads. If those threads represent...the earl's blood, does it mean that there is a connection between the vampires and the earl? And the nobles in the castle listen to the earl Command..." Yu Yue tried his best to stand on tiptoe, and found a pitifully small good fruit from a branch.
"Does this mean that we only need to feed the Earl?"
"Woooo!"
Zai Zai was very excited and snatched the fruit from Yu Yue's hand again.
As if answering his words.
[Barrage: Isn't this reasoning ability too strong? 】
[Bullet screen; I knew that my little brother could do it, I burst into tears, this time I can finally wait to pass the level! 】
In the picture, Lin Yin and the others also showed very surprised expressions.
I didn't expect that the attitudes of Aji and Axiang would change so quickly, and I didn't expect Maria to have such a story with their ancestors.
But after thinking about it, the train of thought is smooth - after all, Maria's lover comes to the castle every year, and it is very likely that he is the bard's predecessor.It's just that I didn't expect a story from hundreds of years ago to reawaken people's emotions.

Aji did what he said, so he immediately called a few capable young men and asked them to take Yu Yue, Joshua, and Karl to visit the townspeople. They wanted to collect as much information as possible. Then I plan to find a few familiar cooks, and first prepare the food that the earl may like and that may be used in the banquet.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, even Ah Xiao, who had never dared to speak, showed a shy smile, and Gou Zhu finally began to beam.

It was a good idea, so several people came to Grandma Karl's cabin.
The hut was very messy, the only wooden bed was squeezed aside, a bowl of half-drunk medicine was placed on the table, and some Sucia's clothes were scattered on the chair.
It was a very painful scene at first, but now because Suzia "woke up" again and went to the castle, the depression and pain were swept away, and the whole room seemed much brighter.

Since then, he has regarded this incident as a thought, and said several times that he dreamed of the story my father told him in his dream-sorry, my father has passed away for a long time, and I have no way of knowing that he told this child What. Sucia refused to tell me in detail, but she only admired the count more and more. I blamed all this on the child's fear of death, and neglected to find the reason behind it."
"Then will Sucia know more?" Ah Xiao couldn't help interjecting.
Karl shook his head again: "The child has been in a daze. When his grandfather was still there, because of the monsters that always appeared at night, many people were already very afraid of the count, and few people were willing to listen to his grandfather's story about the count. . . . my father probably felt so frustrated that he kept telling Suzia a kid about these things."
Several people fell into silence again. Beside Yu Yue, Lin Yin had been frowning and thinking, and then raised his head: "There are still doubts."
Everyone looked at her, and she said: "You believe that the monster at night is related to the earl, do you have any basis for this?"
Before Carl could answer, there was a rude knock on the door of the room.
A big man poked his head in to take a look, and said to the people outside the door: "Here, whoever can provide useful clues, Kaichun can get an extra bag of seeds. Clues cannot be repeated, understand?"
There was a burst of cheers outside the door, and then a crowd of black heads squeezed in.
The situation was very scary, and everyone who was sitting in the room stood up one after another.
"Sit, sit," said the big man in the lead, "you are all Aji's friends, and so are they, then everyone will be friends—they will leave after a few words."
As the big man moved away, the tall, short, fat and thin townspeople behind him spoke one after another, for fear that their information would be preempted by others.
"Oh, I knew you were real little butlers! You are more kind-hearted than the butlers I have seen before. Let me tell you, those butlers before were not good people. They looked at each other and tricked us away. There are some good things."
"The worst thing was the housekeeper who came last year. After taking Aji's father away, he never came back. We also caught them, but they were so powerful that they couldn't be tied with ropes or closed in the room. The next day Not even a shadow of anyone."
"Shh, don't mention about Aji's father..."
The townspeople talked a lot, shaking out all the strange things in recent years.
After hearing this, a few people understood—the first few batches of players who entered this dungeon all took away bards, musicians, and good lyricists, and many of them had no news, which made everyone feel nervous. scared.
That would make sense, the players appeared as the Earl's butlers, but ended up abducting everyone in the town. It's no wonder that the townspeople thought that the Earl was with the monsters who were catching people everywhere at night.
But why do players do such a thing?
"Blood moon?" Lin Yin hinted at Yu Yue with his mouth.
Yu Yue nodded. He had been threatened by Xueyue before, and he also guessed that Xueyue was behind it.But he still couldn't figure out why those players were willing to listen to Blood Moon's words: "It must be Blood Moon that made everyone have this misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Gou Zhu, who was listening on the side, almost shouted, and then immediately realized something, and said in a low voice, "You don't think the Earl is okay after hearing it? Even if the blood moon is the way, it's that thing, But the habits of werewolves are exactly the same as those of vampires, how are you so sure that the Earl will not eat people? Is this something that you have forgotten that we were almost sucked dry too?"
"No," Yu Yue frowned, "Miss Maria is very nice, and so is the Earl, everyone is very polite. Do you have no judgment at all?"
[Bullet screen: Slot hahahaha God Nima's judgment, although you are in the same instance, you are not in the same world at all.What the little brother sees is good, what the dog sees is bad. 】
[Barrage: You are not in the same world 1. 】
[Barrage: What kind of person sees what kind of world! 】
[Barrage: Earl, Earl, did you hear that?Such an obedient little brother is still not cleared? 】
[Barrage: Isn't it?etc?You also believe it?I've seen it from the front and now I feel incredible, can there really be such a kind boss in this world? 】
In the picture, Gou Zhu was choked by Yu Yue, and asked Ah Xiao and Lin Yin very unconvinced: "Listen to what he said, it completely beautifies Bo... Earl, is this reasonable?"
Gou Zhu counted on these two people to support him. After all, Lin Yin looked like an old player, and A Xiao seemed to be scared by the dungeon boss—these two should know how scary the boss is, right?
However, to his surprise, Lin Yin reasoned: "If the original rumors are true, and it was the Earl who led the town to prosper, I don't think he would want to treat the people here as food."
Ah Xiao had no sense of judgement, and just interjected: "I don't know too well. But the female vampire in the castle, she saved my brother, so I think they are good people!"
Gou Zhu: "..."
Gou Zhu: "???"
He couldn't understand the brain circuit of this group of people at all, and was about to say more, but heard a townsman interjected: "Oh, speaking of saving lives, I was working one night when I suddenly felt dizzy and fell into the mud all of a sudden." In the end, I only heard a 'whoosh' in my ear, and then my head hit my own door—I always thought I was dreaming, but now that I think about it, maybe a nobleman came to save me, right?"
"And my daughter," whispered a woman with a cloth kerchief on her head, "my daughter accidentally fell into the lake and drowned, and her body was never found. I cried every day during those days, and later There were monsters in the town, and I was disheartened and did not avoid them. I said in my heart that I would let the monsters eat me. But that night, I saw my daughter outside the window and kept watch for me all night. But everyone said I was confused. Do you think it was really the earl who took my daughter away and let her survive?"
Man is such a magical creature, always following the words of the previous person to associate with the next thing, a bad head brings bad things, and a good head brings good things.Now, with Lin Yin and A Xiaodi's good start, and the clues from the other two townspeople, the others immediately thought of many similar things.
The townspeople started chattering again, this time talking about the good guy who suddenly appeared at night, and they even added fuel and vinegar to add a lot of romance.From the beautiful figures beside the reeds to the burly guardians outside the windows, they all have dark green or deep red eyes, which are fascinating.
"I've written it all down." After the big man sent away the chattering townspeople, Joshua put away the reed pipe and papyrus, "I came up with a song that is very suitable for this mysterious night. The people who disappeared in the town People, mysterious tenants at night, gentlemen and ladies who guard the townspeople, this is a good subject!"
Several people looked out of the window. At this time, the sky had completely darkened, which meant that they were about to return to the castle and deliver the answer to the butler.
"Let's go," Lin Yin was the first to stand up, "When we get back to the castle, we have to confirm with Sucia how to tell this story."
"Just use this version?" Ah Xiao was a little worried.
The only Gou Zhu who didn't believe this story at all didn't express his opinion at all. Anyway, for him, as long as the team doesn't leave him or let him act alone, he doesn't have much idea about doing anything.
[Barrage: Can you really pass the level?The story sounds a little too good to be true. 】
[Bullet screen: You don't have a choice, you have to say nice things in front of people.Even if the earl is a big vampire, you can only praise him in front of him, right?Are you going to say in front of the earl that there is an earl in this world who only deceives boys and girls? 】
[Barrage: Ha ha ha ha, the previous article, are you going to laugh people to death? 】
[Barrage: But I always have a feeling that they are too smooth and calm this time...]
【Barrage:? ? ?Don't be a crow's mouth! 】
Perhaps the premonition of the live viewers as bystanders was more accurate. In the screen, as soon as a few people went out, they bumped into Aji who was hurrying towards him.
Aji was followed by several young people, holding bamboo baskets with delicious cooked food in their hands.
And the last young man was holding a little lamb as white as a cloud in his hand.
"Cooked food and raw food are available," Aji said to several people, his eyes fell on Yu Yue's face, "Even if we want fresh blood, we have prepared a lamb, and we can use the blood of a lamb. Tonight, we All will remain in the church, with fire and weapons."
This is already the greatest degree of help Aggie can give.
Without this young man who has been guarding the town, they might not have heard such a complete story today.
Yu Yue bowed to thank him earnestly, and then asked in a low voice, "May I meet your father before I leave?"
In the dungeon world, the most frightening thing is death, and most people avoid it.His request of "seeing the dead" made everyone unexpected, Lin Yin looked over in surprise, Gou Zhu's face was full of disbelief, and he looked at Yu Yue again with an expression like he was looking at a fool.
Even Aji didn't expect it, there was a crack in his expression, and he turned to stare at him.
"I promised you that I would find out the truth for you." Yu Yue explained.
Aji was silent for a moment, taking a deep breath.After a while, he nodded: "Okay, come with me."
Lin Yin, the others and a group of young people stayed where they were and waited.Yu Yue followed Aji through the path north of the town and came to a remote open space.
Here, several withered bodies are being placed, and the townspeople are transporting the newly found corpses not far away.Their movements were very careful, as if they were deceiving others.When they saw Aji and Yu Yue, they greeted them politely.
"It's best not to let too many townspeople know about this." Aji explained to Yu Yue.
Yu Yue understood immediately.At present, only a few people know what happened in the orchard, and Aji hid it, effectively avoiding panic in the whole town.Thinking about it, in the past so many years, he has been doing this all the time—he neither gave up the beautiful legend, but secretly dealt with the funeral for the townspeople who had the accident.
As he himself said, he is both tolerant and loyal.
Aji led Yu Yue across the open space, but within a short while he came to a man who was lying on his back on the ground.His father didn't look very old, his hair was golden brown like his own, his eyes were closed, and his lips were tightly shut.
Aji's father was dressed in decent clothes and even had a smile on his lips.
"When we found him, he was still holding a dry leaf in his hand. Could this be a clue?"
As Aji said, he bent down and fiddled with his father's palm, and sure enough, he saw a withered yellow leaf there.His voice was very low, and although he was very restrained, there was still pain in it that was hard to hide.
Naturally, a single withered and yellow leaf could not be a clue.
But Yu Yue thought about it and said, "Can you give me this leaf?"
It was just a leaf, not a treasure, so Aji handed it to Yu Yue without much thought.He himself didn't have much hope for finding out the truth, but when he saw that Yu Yue always remembered this matter, his attitude became better: "This night road is not safe, you should be careful."
Yu Yue put the dead leaves into the small package by his side.This action alarmed Zai Zai who was lying inside, and Zai Zai got up, picked up the leaf with disgust, and put it down again.Yu Yue stretched out his hand to arrange the leaves, raised his head, pursed his lips and said to Aji, "Don't worry!"
Aji was stunned for a moment, and for a moment felt that this matter was hopeful.
But what hope could there be?It's ridiculous.
He shook his head, led the way in silence, and brought Yu Yue back to the entrance of the town.
Lin Yin and the others had been waiting anxiously, because the night had fallen like a curtain, covering the entire town.The surrounding area seemed very quiet.
Seeing Yu Yue approaching, they waved repeatedly, but Yu Yue raised his head and glanced at the sky.
I saw the dark clouds dissipate, and the dark blue night sky was like a calm ocean, dotted with stars—there was no scary blood moon.
[Barrage: There is no red moon! 】
[Barrage: I'm completely relieved, woo woo woo, does that mean there will be no werewolves tonight? 】
【Bullet screen: Then we'll see if they can pass the level at night. 】
In the picture, Aji and several young people also looked up and saw the beautiful starry sky that they hadn't seen for a long time. They waved heavily and sent the young man in moon white clothes away.
"Will the Earl like the food we found?" Ah Xiao asked in a low voice in the quiet night after everyone had walked for a while.
"It's hard to say," Lin Yin said, looking back and seeing no townspeople, "According to the clues we have so far, when a vampire is extremely hungry, what he needs most is blood."
"Then what did you just say that the earl doesn't treat people as food!" Gou Zhu grabbed Lin Yin's words and jumped up.
"For us, as long as we can complete the task and hold the banquet smoothly, we can pass the level. You said this in front of so many townspeople just now, and it is easy to arouse their fear. Of course I have to refute you." Lin Yin said Expressionless.
On the side, Joshua, who was supporting Grandma Karl, snorted softly, "So, you don't believe in the Earl?"
Gou Zhu became furious when he heard this, but Lin Yin stopped him with his eyes.
He turned his head, and his face turned pale immediately.
I saw them passing the orchard they had seen during the day again. At this time, cloth strips were dancing in the orchard, and it seemed to be full of ghosts.
Yu Yue also turned to look at the orchard, but his face was not as frightened as the others, and he even said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go in and have a look."
Gou Zhu's fried hair arrived even though he was late: "Are you crazy? It's so scary inside!"
Of course, his opinion had no effect on Yu Yue. Although Lin Yin was worried, he also felt the need to explore this area.In the end, they decided that Ah Xiao and Gou Zhu would stay outside, while Lin Yin and Yu Yue entered the orchard.
Without those strange white mist, although the orchard is desolate, it is more fresh than before. After the dead leaves on the ground are crushed, they make a crisp sound.
The further you walked in, the more tall trees there were. Yu Yue stopped and carefully observed the fallen leaves on the ground.
Yes, the leaves of this tall tree were exactly the same as the dead leaves lying beside Zai Zai at this time.
"Do you think there is something wrong with the fruit trees here?" Lin Yin asked in a low voice.
Yu Yue nodded, but did not say the reason.
Zai Zai seems to like the fruit in this orchard.Judging from the similarity between Zai Zai's habits and vampires' habits, there is a high probability that vampires will also like this fruit.But……
Yu Yue picked off a large but rotten fruit, held it in his hand and looked at it.The fruit is soft and has a lot of juice.
Zai Zai lying in the pocket seemed to be attracted by the smell, poked his head out excitedly, saw a rotten fruit, and lay back down bored.
Its disappointment can be seen just from that little action.
It seemed that vampires would never like rotten fruit.
"I'll check to see if there are any fresh fruits." Yu Yue paused, not convenient to mention Zai Zai, but just tried to explain the reason why he paid attention to this orchard with the usual reasoning of "players", "This orchard It looks suspicious, Aggie's father has also been here, maybe it has something to do with vampires."
Hearing what he said, Lin Yin couldn't help but look at him in surprise.You know, this is the first time Yu Yue has used this method to analyze the dungeon. Before that, he seemed to make choices based on intuition.
After all, Yu Yue still grew up.Lin Yin was a little relieved and said: "Yes, there must be some reason why the Blood Moon props chose this place as the base point. What I am most worried about now is that this fruit is the correct answer, and there are not many fresh fruits left here. What if That’s true, we still can’t pass the customs.”
【Barrage:! !That said, it's really possible! 】
[Barrage: Then how to fix it?Has all the previous efforts been in vain? 】
"It's possible," Yu Yue hesitated for a moment, and picked out a shriveled fruit from a pile of rotten fruits. This time, Zai Zai snatched it right away, "But..."
Lin Yin also started to help find fruit: "But?"
"Every painting we saw in the castle has red silk threads. If those threads represent...the earl's blood, does it mean that there is a connection between the vampires and the earl? And the nobles in the castle listen to the earl Command..." Yu Yue tried his best to stand on tiptoe, and found a pitifully small good fruit from a branch.
"Does this mean that we only need to feed the Earl?"
"Woooo!"
Zai Zai was very excited and snatched the fruit from Yu Yue's hand again.
As if answering his words.
