[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

【Uh……】

The system stared at the locked gate, not knowing what to say for a moment.

【Master, did you expect Dorian Gray to do this? 】

Joe said helplessly: "I knew he would help to make connections, but I didn't expect that he would make connections like this, and trust me so much. Do you believe that I can have both ways?"

System: 【...No, I think it was an accident. 】

and many more!

The system shuddered, 【Master, is this really an accident? 】

The elder brother came here because of Dorian Gray's letter, but the reason why Dorian Gray wrote this letter was because of the exchange of interests with George; the younger brother probably came here to follow Joe or his elder brother, but he just recognized it. It turned out that the person around him looked like his own brother, and he seemed to follow Joe.

Moreover, this younger brother is also the target of George in the army. He was on George's side before, and the system also vaguely knew about it. After seeing Joe once, the younger brother never forgot. He came specifically to find Joe. .

Thinking about it this way, everything here is not a coincidence, but it just happened to cause this seemingly coincidental result.

The system hugged itself and looked at its master in disbelief.

Qiao was in the dark, knowing that the two of them couldn't see his expression, but he still kept an innocent face.

"The front and rear doors are locked, can't we get out?"

Friedrich gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "I knew Dorian Gray's conspiracy was not that simple, let's find another place to go out quickly, maybe he will attract other people here in a while, thereby ruining your reputation, Miss. .”

As he spoke, he groped around in the lobby and found the window nailed by wooden boards.

He raised his hand and hammered the hammer vigorously, but the bone in his hand was so painful that he still couldn't get out.

Joe stopped him and said, "Sir, although it's important to go out, don't hurt yourself."

"I remember that there seems to be a flower window here that has not been nailed by a wooden board."

Friedrich finally found the window, picked up a bench, and swung it vigorously.

With a "bang time", the stained glass fell down like gems of various colors.

Christian exclaimed and grabbed Joe, "Be careful, don't go there."

Joe called urgently: "Sir, come back quickly."

Christian pulled Joe to his side, only to remember that his brother was there too.

But he didn't dare to say his brother's name, so he could only scratch his hair anxiously.

Friedrich: "I'm fine, it's just..."

Friedrich hugged the bench and pushed against the direction of the window, "The outside was inlaid with a board, which seems to be quite thick, and it will not be able to be knocked open for a while."

Even so, he tried again and again.

Until he exhausted all his strength, the board was still not knocked open.

The system was puzzled, 【Is this wooden board so strong? 】

Qiao Ping said: "Oh, I used mental power to strengthen it a few layers."

system:【……】

Turning around, Joe said to Friedrich in a gentle voice: "Sir, let's rest for a while, it seems that this church is not so easy to get out of."

Friedrich was trembling with hatred, "No, I can't just give up, who knows what conspiracy Dorian Gray has waiting for us, we must not fall into his trap."

Joe sighed and pressed Friedrich's arm, "Sir, your arms are shaking, please sit down."

She paused and said slowly: "My reputation is not that important, God will know everything."

Friedrich was simply helpless.

"No, why haven't you said a word yet?" Friedrich suddenly looked in Christian's direction.

Christian shuddered suddenly, covered his mouth with both hands, and shrank into a ball.

In front of outsiders, he is a tiger with teeth and claws, but in front of his elder brother, he is a milk cat who dare not make a sound.

His brother didn't know the news that he was driven out of the barracks. If Friedrich recognized it, he felt that it was not the window that was going to be smashed in this church, but his head.

It's just that Christian kept silent, which aroused Friedrich's vigilance.

"Why don't you talk? What are you hiding? Could it be that... you and Dorian Gray are in the same company?"

Seeing his brother coming straight towards him, Christian turned around and hid behind Joe.

Friedrich frowned, "What is he doing? Is he hiding behind the lady?"

Joe stopped his brother, "I don't think he's a bad guy."

Brother Christian felt guilty for a while.

I'm sorry, fair Miss Wickham, but I went out of my way to make things difficult for your brother in the barracks.

Friedrich asked puzzled, "You know him?"

Christian pressed his heart, and suddenly felt a heart attack.

Did his brother not recognize him?

Joe hesitated: "Actually, I think his voice seems familiar. I think I should recognize him."

Christian blinked, his ears blushing uncontrollably.

Could it be that when she came to the barracks that day, she noticed her at a glance like him?

Christian couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness in his heart.

"Know him? Could it be because of Dorian Gray?"

Friedrich was almost insane at the mention of "Dorian Gray" and was on guard against him like a thief.

Joe: "That's not true."

Friedrich thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Since you said so, miss, then I have nothing to say, but he can't just sit here and not work, can he?"

Christian stepped ruefully from behind Joe and began to take over Friedrich's work, continuing to bang on the window.

In the end, it was still useless.

Christian rubbed his red palms, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "This is not a wooden board, it's an iron board!"

Friedrich heard a few words vaguely and fell into thought.

"That's right!"

He slapped his thigh violently, "This is caused by the devil."

"Since Dorian Gray has made a contract with the devil, he must have related magic, for example, making the board extremely hard, thus trapping us."

The more Friedrich analyzed, the more frightened he felt. In the past, because Dorian Gray had his sister's items in his hands, he didn't dare to do anything to Dorian Gray. Sometimes, he still has to find a way to cover it up for him.

Now, the fact that Dorian Gray knows magic is something he can't hide even if he wants to, and needs to be reported to His Majesty the King as soon as possible.

Friedrich gritted his teeth and said, "Dorian Gray, he is dead!"

Joe: "Maybe there is still room for change at this time..."

Friedrich shook his head, "Miss, you are too kind, you have no idea how dirty Dorian Gray can use against us."

"We were invited here by letters, and we were trapped here, and we couldn't open the doors and windows. I can't imagine how much energy Dorian Gray has."

System: [I'm really sorry, most of them were made by my master himself. 】

Friedrich was like a trapped animal, and his emotions kept churning like magma.

"I think the worst outcome is that Dorian Gray is going to use us as a sacrifice for a devil's ritual, and he's going to kill us."

Christian gasped in shock at what his brother said.

System: [Good guy, this gentleman can really make up his mind. 】

Even Joe was shocked by the human mind.

Friedrich slowly talked about the devil sacrifice ceremony he read from the book.

Friedrich deserves to be a person who wants to enter politics, and his ability to tell stories is particularly outstanding. A paragraph of explanatory text in the book was vividly told by him, as if he himself had watched the sacrifice of the devil himself.

He lowered his voice for a while, and suddenly raised his voice for a while, hearing Christian's hair standing on end, screaming again and again.

Joe absorbed the emotional energy stirred up by Christian and Friedrich, and thought: Is it possible that I have to train my eloquence in the future, so that I can absorb more emotional energy when I speak vividly on the lectern?

In order to cooperate with Friedrich's performance, she even urged the tree outside the window with mental power from time to time, so that the branches seemed to be blown by a strong wind, shaking violently from time to time, and clapping on the wooden board.

Christian jumped up in fright, and his brother turned pale.

"What, it's the wind blowing the branches!" Christian meowed, complaining for a while.

Friedrich: "Your voice..."

This time, the pale-faced man turned into a younger brother.

"...It seems that the voice is different from just now."

Christian hurriedly pressed his chest and took a few breaths.

He was almost scared to death by his brother, thinking he had been exposed.

Joe stared at Friedrich with wonder.

"Sure enough, the humans on Earth and Planet are amazing, they always let me learn useful knowledge." She said to the system.

System: [Good guy, what do you want to learn?Breathless speaking? 】

"Speaking of which, I also think this gentleman's voice is very familiar." Qiao said slowly.

Christian couldn't help smiling.

Joe said to Friedrich: "Could it be that we are familiar with the same person?"

The younger brother covered his mouth and nose, his heart seemed to be raised high.

Friedrich said: "It's unlikely, if there is a lady like you in my circle, it is impossible for me not to recognize it."

Although I don't know the young lady's appearance, she is as pure and white as a lamb of God. Such a kind and innocent person can be recognized in the aristocratic circle at a glance.

The younger brother relaxed again.

Joe laughed: "That may be when I go to the barracks..."

"To the barracks?"

Such a big turn of the topic almost suffocated Christian.

Oh my god, why did I come here suddenly!

By the way, does George's sister know that he was kicked out of the barracks?Wouldn't George be tempted to write to his sister to show off?

Christian covered his head, his worried hair was turning white.

Joe said slowly: "Yes, my brother is in the barracks."

Friedrich said in surprise: "Coincidentally, my younger brother is also in the barracks."

Christian was so terrified that he could barely speak.

Heh, heh, it's gone now.

Feeling Christian's mood as if he was on a roller coaster, Joe smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence, maybe my brother and your brother know each other, or even be good friends."

Christian thought: It's impossible in this life, unless I can be George's brother-in-law, hey, yes, Joe's identity is not suitable for his brother, but he is suitable!

Anyway, he is at most the son of an earl in this life. If he marries a noble lady, he will continue to be his nobleman; if he can marry the beautiful Miss Wickham, he will be a priest with Miss Wickham, hehe !
