Chapter 78: Lord Duke

No. 1006 invigilator has deep qualifications and is one who has seen the world. His blood did not scare him to death.
He just pulled a cloth towel, wiped his hands and wiped his neck, covering his wound.
"What dress, your expression?"
Prior to the previous incident, Gao Qi had a little more attitude towards Qin Chen.
He opened the bedroom door and looked out, and said, "What about skirts?"
"It's pretty, who wears it?" He hurriedly narrowed his eyes to wince at the two in the room.
As soon as he squeezed, he found that the two were looking at him with a terrible look.
How terrible?
It is a natural and unquestionable look. It seems that as long as he stays a few more seconds, the big skirt will be wrapped around his neck.
"..."
Gao Qi put away his smile instantly, and for a moment, ran away.
"Goodbye at dinner!" He mumbled over the balcony and fled back to the next door in a fierce 15-year-old gesture.
He slipped too fast, and the male servant outside the door noticed that the movement was not right, but the probe came in and came face to face with confusion.
"What happened, sir?" The servant looked at the room.
Confused holding the door, blocking most of his eyes: "It's okay."
As he was about to shut, the servant arrived at the door and said, "I heard some voices—"
"It has nothing to do with you."
"but--"
Interrogated interrupted him impatiently: "Mrs. Do you want to watch a dressup?"
After speaking Peng—the ground closed the door.
Inside the room, Qin Chen just came out of the bedroom.
He was holding the big skirt and said, raising his eyebrows, "Which lady is to change?"
Just make fun of it, this bastard's thing is still holding the skirt in the air and trying to make a comparison on the body of the confusion, and "sniffed".
Bewildered: "..."
唔 你 姥姥.
He held Gao Qi's "self-cutting" knife in his hand, and pointed his finger at the next door and said, "Roll down and change your dress next door."
Qin Chen smiled, put down the dangerous goods, jumped onto the balcony and left.
This castle is really huge.
When a pair of guests came out of the house wearing gowns and masks, they gave a slight illusion.
It seems that time and space are already chaotic, and other guests in the castle are real nobles of the old century.
Zhou Qi was looking around at the layout of the castle. At this time, he took a few steps closer to the side of Caution.
A puzzled glance at her: "Afraid?"
Zhou Qiyi smiled and said, "I wear almost the same masks. I can't tell who is who. I just looked at you two steps away and felt like you were the person here. I was a mixed candidate A little scary ... "
Confused hands clinging to the promenade stone wall, looking down at the people coming and going below, there is no intention to leave.
The maid urged beside me, "Sir and madam, I'll take you to the dinner hall."
Doubt's eyes didn't rise: "Wait for someone."
The servant said, "The dinner is about to begin."
Bewildered: "Oh."
The servant said, "Master Duke is waiting for you."
Bewildered: "Wait."
Manservant: "Mrs. is already here, who are you looking for?"
As an npc, he seems unable to understand relationships other than "husband and wife".
Confused and ignored him.
The servant said, "You can go to the dinner hall first."
Confused deaf.
butler:"……"
Between the words, the wooden door next door creaked open.
Qin Yan pushed the door and saw Youzhe standing by the promenade.
The dress lined him tall and straight, and when he turned to look at it, the fabric at the waistline was slightly wrinkled. The mask covered his upper half of the face, the pattern was complicated and gorgeous, and the cold lips of the lower half were in sharp contrast.
Qin Chen walked.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that the standing collar around the neck was too tight.
So much so that he wanted to pull open the top button, lift off half of the mask, bite it up or kiss it. In short, he wanted to do something to destroy the meticulousness and let the cold lips show some other emotions.
Perhaps the sconce overhead was dim and ambiguous.
He didn't think that such confusion was strange, and he could even imagine that the other side couldn't hold it cold.
Almost like I've seen it before.
But it's almost there.
The subtle familiarity is fleeting, as fast as the illusion of passing by.
...
"Are you okay now?" The manservant asked again, his face flickered, but his eyes flickered a little uneasily. It seemed as if he could not be moved again, and he could cry to everyone on the spot.
Bewildered "um" and straightened up.
He saw Qin Chen pulling the collar of the dress, and came up hurriedly, about to say something.
Another door also opened, and Gao Qi moved out with awkward faces, complaining to Zhao Jiatong while pulling his sleeves: "This thing is really uncomfortable to wear. The collar is not a collar, and the waist is not a waist. Bullying our necks is short ... 诶Is this waiting for me? "
He wore his clothes and questioned.
Confused for a moment, he nodded to Gao Qi and said, "Hurry up."
Gao Qi moved.
You big brother slightly guilty.
They lived farthest away, and there was no rush to change their dress.
When they left, there were no other candidates on the third floor.
Their three pairs of guests actually had three lead servants.
The three male servants walked fast. If they could, they would probably choose to drag these candidates to run.
The overall tone of the castle is dark.
The Duke seemed to have a passion for the blood-like color, which was used for curtains, curtains, and tablecloths.
There are portrait oil paintings on the corridor walls every tens of meters.
The oil painting is a family of three.
A woman in a red robe was sitting in an armchair with her left elbow on one side, and her white neck and shoulders were soft and beautiful. She looked gentle and dignified ... She held a mask in her right hand, blocking her upper half of her face.
The exposed lips were bright red and plump, and the corners of their lips were rising and laughing.
A little boy was standing beside her, her hair was meticulously combed, and she was wearing a delicate little white dress. Put one hand on the woman's wrist, and the other hand also held a mask.
Behind the mother and son stood a tall, thin man. He bent slightly and propped himself up on the back of the armchair. I also held my mask to cover my face with a smile on my lips.
This should be the Duke's family.
But now the wife and child have died, leaving the Duke alone.
The three men took them sprinting all the way through the colonnade and several empty rooms, and finally came to the end of a certain corridor.
The tall and rich door was hidden there, and the voices of people staggering could be heard faintly.
The manservant glanced at the time and finally relieved and said with relief: "It's okay, I caught up."
He pushed several guests into the door and went out by himself.

In the dinner hall, the long table continued from one end of the room to the other. It was enough for 13 groups of candidates to sit down for dinner, and there was even a surplus of seats.
The last few empty seats should be left to confuse them, and the man sitting at the top of the table should be the Duke.
Although the butler Douglas called him "Lord" and "Master" shortly, he was not old, even very young.
It's like ... in your twenties.
A dozen children, wearing white dresses and masks, sang songs on the platform in the corner of the hall.
The duke looked at them and perplexed them, knocking on the cup with a silver spoon.
He shouted, and the whole hall was quiet.
"Douglas, are these guests late?" The Duke asked the steward beside him.
His voice was strange, as if used to a deep voice, deliberately pressed down, a little dumb. Listening is not very comfortable.
Douglas shook his head and said, "No master, time is just right."
"Oh ..." The Duke nodded.
Although he looked young, he did not behave like a young man. Maybe it is the aura who is used to the superior.
"No late ..." the Duke repeated softly.
He smiled again and said, "Sit down then, the wine is already poured, don't be restrained."
The food on the table was seductive.
Under the shaking, clear tears of wine hang on the wall of the glass, and the lights are clear. Roasted chicken skin is yellowish, full and shiny, exuding a hot aroma ...
These are in stark contrast to the dry bread provided on the carriage.
Candidates couldn't handle each one.
But they don't dare to eat.
After several exams, they were very vigilant.
It was confusing, and after sitting down, he politely took the glass and took a sip.
Zhou Qi "snapped" and didn't stop.
"Do you really drink?" She glanced at the duke and whispered.
Perplexed, "Drink when you are thirsty, what's the problem?"
The food this time was much better than the previous examination room, and the craftsmanship was not worse than that of the 922. Of course, he got the lip.
"but……"
Zhou Qi felt that she was not a friend and could not stop him, so she turned to Qin Chen for help.
As a result, Qin Chen drank a little more than he was confused.
Zhou Qi: "..."
The Duke laughed and said, "I like such guests ..."
He turned to Douglas again and said, "I like it and don't mind giving them more rest."
Douglas nodded and said, "Okay, sir."
The candidate closest to the Duke heard this faintly, hesitated for a few seconds, and started to move.
That's the way people are, as long as there are two or three leaders, others will quickly join.
In the blink of an eye, those who held the wine glass without touching them tried to take a sip, and they didn't feel like □□, and they started to move their knives and forks.
Just then the door opened again.
A pair of men and women hurried in, the man's dress neckline was wrongly buttoned, and looked anxious and embarrassed.
The woman's big skirt was not properly arranged, and she shrank behind the man, holding her hand a little nervously.
Youcha glanced at them, and the mental system was not a purebred animal. At least "husbands and wives" were not all forcibly. Some of them should be true couples.
Even if it is not a couple, partnering in this kind of life-and-death exam is somewhat of a suspension bridge effect.
The duke put the cup down and turned to ask the housekeeper, "Douglas, shouldn't the guests be late?"
Douglas nodded and said, "Yes, sir."
His old eyes looked at the pair of candidates, and said to the Duke calmly, "It's been a while late."
The Duke nodded and said, "I see."
He doesn't speak loudly.
But the lobby was very quiet, everyone else was quiet and didn't interrupt, it seemed very clear.
The pair of candidates immediately shivered and turned pale.
The Duke raised his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid. I just ask it routinely, come, sit here, and reserve a seat for you. The wine has been poured."
The man patted the woman's hand, took a deep breath, and boldly walked to the other side of the long table.
There were indeed two vacancies left by the Duke, as if they were specially prepared for late guests.
Zhou Qi was still staring at the Duke. After a while, he whispered to the puzzler and said, "I know the candidates. In the first round, we were in the same test room. The man's name was Zhang Pengyi and the woman's name was He Jiajia. They were originally couples and their feelings were pretty good ... "
She said, watching the Duke whisper again: "My boyfriend was here too, but unfortunately we were separated in the second game."
Confused asked her, "What is your first game?"
Zhou Qi said, "The fourth game."
Her grades were barely okay, so that she had a little hope and her boyfriend was a little better than her. As long as she didn't run into strange questions, she would have done better than her. Then five games are over ... maybe they can go out together.
She spoke and looked at the Duke for a long time.
He asked, "Are you afraid of him?"
Zhou Qi froze and shook his head and nodded again: "Afraid must be afraid, he is the subject, who knows what he will do. But I always look at him because ... his mouth looks a bit like my boyfriend. I I miss him. "
She drank a bit of wine aggrieved, glanced at confusion, and glanced at Qin Chen.
He sighed and said, "I think more."
Bewildered: "..."
More than half the meal, the Duke knocked on the wall again and said, "Thank you for coming from afar and miss me Alisa and Colin. Believe ... I believe they will be very moved if they know. I heard Douglas say , You promise to treat the townspeople here. "
He paused and said in a soft voice, "Those poor people, I thank you for them."
"Douglas will arrange a horse and cart to take you to the town during the day, but please be sure to come back in the evening. I can't do anything, but please give me a chance to provide you with delicious meals and soft beds."
He said, and suddenly he coughed a few times.
It's boring, but the whole person is shaking, as if trying to keep the cough in his chest.
Douglas helped him.
He wiped the corners of his mouth with a cloth towel, his lips turned red when he turned his head.
The man at the table exclaimed softly.
"These two days have been a little uncomfortable," said the Duke.
"Yes, you live here, don't take off the mask." The Duke suddenly added: "It's so neat and beautiful."
"..."
Who wants to be neat and tidy?
The duke was afraid it was not obsessive-compulsive disorder.
But in view of everyone's psychological preparation in advance, I knew that the Duke would have some quirks, so I didn't take it too seriously.
Then the Duke said, "My house is a bit big, and it's easy to get lost at night, so drink a lot of wine and sleep well so you don't have to get up at night."
He chuckled twice: "There is another request, just said, I am not very comfortable, I do n’t sleep well at night, I do n’t want to be disturbed, so if you have friends who like to get up at night, please do n’t go to the West Tower One layer. I have a bad temper when I can't sleep, and I'm afraid to offend you. "
The crowd nodded, and there was a little panic.
But the appeal of fine wines and meals is really great, and the Duke has always been very gentle. It didn't take long for candidates to eat their heads again.
The children's chanting as the background, fluttering, makes people unconsciously want to sleep a bit.
But everyone is trying to stay awake and chatting internally.
This time the exam questions are a bit weird, something will happen on the first day before, or some hidden question requirements are given.
Or maybe there will be penalties and so on.
But this time it was strange and nothing was mentioned.
Gao Qi and Zhao Jiatong muttered a few words, holding the bread in their hands and turned to ask: "... a, what do you think?"
"what?"
"I'm discussing with Zhao Jiatong. Let's go to the town tomorrow to explore the situation? Or we should explore the situation of the castle while people are away. The Duke is probably a big trouble. Don't provoke him for the time being." He told Zhao Jiatong himself Dreaming is a grudge of that dream.
He felt that 120 of this castle was wrong.
"Zhao Jiatong supports going to the town, which is more secure. I support exploring the castle. Who do you vote for?"
Perplexed, "I want to visit the proctor first."
Zhao Jiatong: "?"
Gao Qi: "???"
"No ... the invigilator tricked you into provoking you first to see what they did?" Gao Qi didn't understand.
He turned to look at Qin Chen again, holding his nose in a good voice and asking, "How about you? Now Zhao Jiatong supports visiting the town, and I support visiting the castle first. This a is going to visit the proctor. One person, one vote, It's up to you? "
"Me?" Qin Chen said, "I want to provoke the Duke."
Gao Qi: "..."
Why did he take the exam with these two perverts?
Not far away, at the head of the table, the Duke coughed a few more against the corner of his mouth and turned to the late candidates Zhang Pengyi and He Jiajia and said quietly, "Are you free tonight?"
The author has something to say: I will make up a chapter and bow.
I opened my mouth and just said yesterday that I would go home at night, and I was blocked on the road until 2019 ...
