Chapter 17


He stopped in moderation, turned his head and solemnly reminded everyone: In this scene, all the details of life must be paid special attention, I know that some will cause extreme discomfort, but compared to surviving, the difficulty of living habits is easy to deal with, I don't want to see anyone lose the game because they are suspicious of the maid after taking a shower twice a day.The contestants nodded their heads.The five female contestants on the sofa in the distance did not move, it was not that they did not want to come to the meeting, but that the men and women were separated at this kind of social dance, and once they got together, they were going to dance or have other social meanings.The light dimmed at this moment, and there was a figure in front of the sofa, and the rich and sweet smell of perfume almost overturned everyone.Why is the beautiful Miss Louisa still sitting alone, and may you be allowed to dance next?

The contestants were silent for a moment before they realized who Miss Louisa was.Miss Louisa looked up at the ancient gentleman coldly, her eyes swept over his outstretched hands with disgust, but she could not refuse.But before he could raise his hand, another voice interrupted him.Sorry, Miss Luisa is not feeling well.Fu Chongming suddenly raised a smile, winked at the NPC, and said innocently, I am also sitting alone, why don't you invite me?

The gentleman glanced at Louisa, who had a really bad face, turned to Fu Chongming, and smiled in surprise: It's Miss Fanny, isn't your fiancé with you?

Everyone chuckled in their hearts, it seemed that everyone in this scene had a name and identity, and they were different, and they needed to find out for themselves.Fu Chongming smiled and said: If an unmarried lady completely rejects all the gentlemen at the ball, isn't it a loss for the gentlemen?

He didn't deliberately pinch his throat and pretend to be a woman, but used some vocal skills, although it was still not sharp, but there was a unique low and gentle.The NPC found no anomalies.You're right, Miss Fanny, it's my pleasure.The NPC immediately stretched out his hand to Fu Chongming, Fu Chongming raised his gloved hand and gently put it on it, and when he got up, Lu Huaixing saw the blade of the saber flashing under his vest.Lu Huaixing quickly tapped on his palm.If the situation is unclear, do not act rashly.Fu Chongming didn't look back, and followed the NPC into the dance floor, he should be half-squatting under the exaggerated skirt, otherwise it would definitely be a doubt that he would be close to a height of 1.9 meters.He—Did he really go dancing?

The face of the man who spoke turned white, Zheng Lin frowned and analyzed: According to the custom of this aristocratic social ball, the message that refusing to dance may be conveyed is the refusal of the entire family to cooperate with the other party, even if there is no other intention, you must dance a song ceremoniously, but you probably don't need to worry.The man who spoke at the beginning was one of the ugly noblewomen, and although Zheng Lin meant that he was too ugly and old, he was very relieved.Don't relax too soon.Lu Huaixing said coldly, I haven't heard of a rich widow remarrying?

The man's face turned purple.It was as if the mouth had been opened, and soon another invitation to dance came, and it was really against the man, and he was also a young gentleman.The male player looked at the young handsome guy without tears and agreed with a hard head.Lu Huaixing also got up: Let's go, go and collect clues.Only by playing your own identity will you not be caught when you don't know anything.The ball was not always awkward, with groups of aristocratic ladies leading maids and waiting for gentlemen's invitations on the sidelines, and ladies gathered to gossip about the family.Lu Huaixing passed by the sofas of those female players and gestured to the venue with his eyes.Qin Aiai is not in this group of female contestants, the competition system broadcasts a total of 30 contestants, but there are only 12 in the dance, and the others are probably not nobles.Fortunately, some of these female contestants love to watch period dramas, and know that gentlemen can't always sit on the sidelines and snub ladies, so they nodded to Lu Huaixing, and they cleverly chose to invite NPCs instead of male contestants, trying to take the initiative to obtain identity information.Soon Lu Huaixing found that the female NPCs in the place where he walked all retreated slightly, revealing some meaningful gazes, covering their mouths with fans, pretending to glance at him casually, and then talking in a low voice.His ears were strong enough to hear the whispers of the aristocratic women who thought they were whispering: it was Louisa, who looked so tall and dead with three fiancés, and what kind of reserved face she put on.The last one didn't die, and the last one was that the family was found to be collaborators.They smiled perfectly with etiquette, and laughed endlessly with their lips squirming.I've held a few balls this month, who wants to propose to her, I guess I only went to the convent in the end, with her family's financial resources, it's no problem to be a dean~ Not necessarily, the duke's family has a daughter, didn't you see a few people just now!

turned around, and the identities of several people were also revealed, Lu Huaixing was obviously the only daughter of the duke with a reputation as Kefu, Luo Xiaobei was his cousin from out of town, named Luo Lin, the daughter of a viscount, and the family sent her to socialize with girlfriends.The other contestants are in a slightly better situation, Zheng Lin is an ordinary aristocratic lady, the other three are more sorry for wearing women's clothes, only the dancing one is a widow, and the other two are married ladies, which are relatively safe.As the banquet continued, the servants outside the door suddenly rushed in, and on the steps of the second floor there was a middle-aged woman with hair like a Christmas tree, who was Miss Louisa's mother in the story.Duchess, before he could finish speaking, there was a sonorous sound of footsteps on the porch outside.The music stopped, and the Duchess went downstairs with a sullen face.The gate opened, and a group of men in silver armor and red uniforms marched in neatly, with crossed crosses painted on their breastplates, swords at their waists, and iron spears in their hands.How did the Templars get here?

The crowd whispered.The butler beside the Duchess immediately said loudly: I don't know if the knights have any decrees to convey, why no one has reported it, we are ready to prepare in advance to entertain the leaders of the bearded take off his helmet, raise a brown parchment in his hand, and shout: According to the provisions of the "Heresy Law", someone has reported that a servant of the devil has mixed into this ball in disguise, for the safety of the Duke's Palace and everyone, we must make a surprise arrest, and please keep calm, no devil can harm people under the noses of the Templars!

Please stay where you are, and trouble the steward to call in the servants as well.Although it was not decent, the Duchess did not want to disobey the knight holding the church search warrant, so she could only resist her anger, smile with good manners, and allow the intruder to search around.The knights pushed the mask up, and a young knight in the queue was a little conspicuous, he looked red and white, and he was extraordinarily standard, many aristocratic ladies quietly blushed, but Lu Huaixing raised his eyebrows slightly, not only him, but all the players knew that person Qin Aiai?

Zheng Lin exclaimed in a low voice, she actually entered the competition???

There are several players who are the same as Tan Qiu who met in the novice field, and when they saw the lucky idol appear in the game, they seemed to have been splashed with ice water on their heads, and their faces were miserable.Qin Aiai was wearing heavy knight armor and poked at the spear as if she were holding it.In this era, only men wear high heels, so she was lucky to make up for her height, and the idol is not good at acting skills, but with makeup, she is the most behaving among the contestants.Presumably you guys are mistaken.After a while, the housekeeper said, but since everyone has worked hard for so long, why don't you drink some too!

The butler's face changed, and there was a sudden commotion behind the crowd, and two burly knights dragged out a kitchen maid, whose eyes were red from crying, and she was begging for mercy again and again: I accidentally hit the fireplace while I was working, really, I didn't lie!

The captain of the knights did not waver, walked over directly, and even tore her clothes directly in public.The crowd was in an uproar, and the skin under the maid's clothes had large irregular black and red spots, located on the left shoulder and left waist.Witch!

The captain roared angrily, and his subordinates immediately brought a barbed iron cage, and the mark of the devil could no longer be hidden, and he dared to quibble!

Luo Xiaobei shouted: Brother Lu is not a player, right?

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 also made up an ugly girl, but his expression when he saw the witch was obviously different from the horrified spitting of the others, he was more nervous and inexplicable, because he didn't seem to understand how those spots became the marks of the witch, and it really seemed to be knocked out.Bleeding spots, which should be one of the symptoms of the Black Death.Lu Huaixing frowned.Depend on.All the players retreated in panic.The plague is far deadlier than a witch who doesn't know if it exists.Some of the servants had recognized the most terrifying contagion of the past, and the emotions on their faces seemed much more real.The weeping and wailing maid was rudely stuffed into the cage, and the Duchess's face was extremely ugly, and she waved her hand in disgust: Quick, take this evil witch away!

Madame, rest assured, of course we will cleanse this evil spirit.Said the chief knight.But suddenly, another servant came running in from outside in a panic, because the hall was in a mess, and he could not run to Madame's side, so he had to shout on the spot: Madame, Mademoiselle, something is wrong, Your Excellency Duke has contracted the plague of witches!

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

Mr.

Frost: This person is eliminated.

#今天的防卫官被淘汰了吗?

Eliminated √ #第22章公爵府里到处是匆忙奔跑的仆人, among the maids carrying the basin were one or two clergymen in robes.Lu Huaixing walked through the crowd with a cold face, Cousin Luo trembled and chased with her skirt, and was stopped by two nuns: Ladies go back to the room, I know you are worried about His Excellency the Duke, but Lu Huaixing took a long step and walked directly around them, Luo Xiaobei hurriedly ran with Pa Da, so the nun had no choice but to join the chasing army.The dance party had already dispersed, and the guests were quickly invited away, and Fu Chongming was dragged away by the panicked maid of his own house before he had time to say a word to Lu Huaixing.The Duchess fainted on the spot when she heard the news, and the great mansion was shrouded in the panic caused by the witch.Witches, witches of this era are the spokesmen of the plague, not the cute school bully who rides a broomstick.The monks scribbled on the ground in the duke's house with an unknown liquid, holding icons in their hands and chanting words, their robes resembling blackbirds in the dim candlelight of the corridors.Lu Huaixing killed all the way to the door, frowned and stopped a large number of monks to stop him, and he couldn't go in directly.He saw that the doctor in the room was wearing a black sharp-beaked mask, like a flock of eerie crows around the bed, but he could not stop the occasional snorting and nonsense.Lu Huaixing listened to the persuasion in silence, and left a second before the unknown holy water was sprinkled.Luo Xiaobei continued to chase him in small steps, and asked tremblingly: Brother Lu, what's the matter?

I can't see clearly.Lu Huaixing shook his head slightly, but it seemed that he was just talking nonsense with a fever, unlike the Black Death.The common cold can also cause high fever, but in the context of this era, ordinary high fever is no easier than the Black Death.Hey, Brother Lu, your corsage is gray again, so you're in a good mood?

Lu Huaixing held his forehead: Only a nervous off-line player like Cousin Luo can't react to what an extreme special case it is to switch SP and N back and forth.The costumes of the aristocratic women were too gorgeous and complicated, Luo Xiaobei ran out of breath with her skirt, the maids were so frightened that they were turning around in the corridor, and the young lady returned to the house by herself and found that she couldn't struggle out of the big skirt and corset.The speed of time in the race is not consistent with the outside, and the highest record recorded by the Solar Defense Corps is six years, simulating an ancient European battlefield, and the contestant almost beats Joan of Arc from the farm girl to Joan of Arc, while the real time outside is still a week.So Luo Xiaobei sighed, for fear that he would be a noble lady for a few years and just want to wear a skirt when he goes home.Brother Lu save me, my waist is about to break!

He writhed in a lump of fabric, his waist stuck on his chest, and when he looked up, he saw his brother Lu half-leaning on the chaise longue resting, the delicate ruby necklace refracting the warm yellow fire in the middle of his white collarbone, like a classical oil painting, if you had not seen him step on the remains of a parasite.Lu Huaixing only said flatly: You'd better wake up from your vacation dream quickly.Luo Xiaobei: Okay, but brother, can you save me from my skirt first?

Luo Xiaobei was so frightened that he snorted, and a black hand rose from the dark window, which looked strange at first glance, but Lu Huaixing walked over without hurry, and dragged a Fu Chongming in an all-black tightsuit from the window.Late-night private meeting!

Fu Chongming blinked his right eye.The gray on Lu Huaixing's chest has a tendency to turn red on the spot.Well, you guessed I'd come.Fu Chongming sat on the big bed with a grin, he took off his obstructive skirt, and there was a small sun pattern on the chest of the black combat uniform, as well as a number: S666.Sensing Lu Huaixing's gaze, Fu Chongming raised his hand and touched his chest: This number has always been written in my file, it is not the standard format of the Defense Corps, and no one remembers the origin, but I guess, you know?

Lu Huaixing didn't answer, but asked: Do you have clues to the game?

A conjecture.Fu Chongming nodded, I think this one is still survival, the old way, and the only way to win can we win by resolving all the fatal crises.Luo Xiaobei was stunned: Huh?

Isn't our mission to find a witch, it's supposed to be a puzzle solving class, right?

Lu Huaixing pulled over the chair and sat opposite Fu Chongming: All the games in the Light Tower are actually survival levels.The artificial categorization before you is meaningless.So what do you think?

The Aesthetics of Ancient Greek Tragedy: How Can the Individual Fight Against the Ages?

Fu Chongming had the expression of a literary connoisseur, your joys and sorrows do not matter, because the torrent of the times is not bad for you This tiny drop of water Luo Xiaobei raised his hand weakly: Teachers, I took Western classical literature in college, hanging.Lu Huaixing chuckled: He scored a maximum of 59 points.But the meaning is right, he is saying that witches are not the most dangerous element in this scene, this time the crisis comes from the background of the era, and an inconspicuous detail of life can send you to the stake.Luo Xiaobei: For example?

For example, if a wealthy duke dies violently, what will happen to the widow and only daughter he leaves behind?

The defense officer asked, chin pinched.The only daughter's expression was flat: the widow is so old, it is better to be martyred, and then all the inheritance of the duke will be the dowry of the young lady.Fu Chongming licked the corners of his mouth: It's exciting.Lu Huaixing was unfazed: In order to completely dispose of the property, it would not be long before the new lady would die of illness.Fu Chongming frowned: Well, then I can't bear it, I'm going to cry to death with a thin face.Luo Xiaobei: Uh, murderous?

I suggest that Chief Fu hurry up and find other players, otherwise the next time we see each other may be a square burning.Lu Huaixing said as he picked up Fu Chongming's collar and dragged him to the window and stuffed him into the night.
