Chapter 3 The Dinner Begins
I don't know how much time passed, but Xie Liang, who was suspended by the black mist circle, was already listless. His limbs also suffered from numbness due to being suspended for a long time, as if he was being bitten by an electric current or an ant.
"Squeak!"
At this moment, the towering door of the castle rang with a sound. The soft silver moonlight shined through the cracks in the door and pulled out a slender light in the castle. At the end of the slender light close to the door, a wide and fat shadow occupied that area.
moonlight.
Xie Liang, who was listless just now, subconsciously raised his head and looked at the door. This was the first time he saw a creature coming from outside the castle.
"This is a ball, right..." Xie Liang looked at the creature coming in from the gate in surprise.
It was a fleshy ball with a very round body. He was wearing an extremely wide bathrobe. His two calves were almost sunk into the flesh. The same was the head. You couldn't see where his neck was at all. Two black eyes the size of mung beans were attached to the
In terms of flesh, the overall look is a bit cute.
"Humans? This kind of species is really rare here." Meatball walked up to Xie Liang on his two short legs. The pupils in his two mung bean eyes shrank and then enlarged. "What mistake did you make?"
"Are you the Chief Justice of Tuzhi?" Xie Liang looked up and down at the fleshy ball in front of him. If this was the Chief Justice of Tuzhi, it was really far from what he had in mind.
"No, I'm not that profiteer! Don't compare me with him." Speaking of Justice Tuzhi, his face was pulled down, and the fat on his forehead was squeezed into three layers. He emphasized loudly to Xie Liang,
"I am Terry III Leved. I am a noble. Do you know what a noble is? A human being!"
Leved snorted twice, and became angry when he mentioned Tu Zhi. During the last dinner, Tu Zhi tricked him into buying a compass from Tu Zhi, saying that it was illuminated by the law of fate.
It turned out to be a fake.
"Oh, so I'm here for the dinner party." After hearing that Rouqiu was not the one he was talking about, Xie Liang lost all interest in him.
"What kind of attitude is this? I'm a noble!" Levid was now becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Gusnot Castle. Not even a human being respected him.
Leved looked away from Xie Liang, then glanced at Mr. Mu, his eyes kept moving between Mr. Mu and Xie Liang, and finally he showed an "I understand" look: "Humans
, you must have violated a rule in the castle's law book, right? You must know that the last person who violated this rule is now on the grave... Oh! No, it is a place where there is no place for death, and there is no grass on the grave."
"Previous?"
"That's right! It just happened not long ago. Three thousand years ago, an iron-headed boy challenged the rules of the ancient castle's law book, and then it was so miserable, tsk tsk tsk, that Mr. Mu used it as the oil for the soul lamp, and he died so badly that there was no trace of it left.
." Levite felt his body go cold just thinking about it, and the bursts of miserable wailing sounds are still fresh in his memory.
"Fuel?" Xie Liang was stunned. The punishment for violating the rules once again refreshed his understanding, "Then which rule is that iron-headed boy challenging?"
"Kill the creature that received the invitation." Leved answered Xie Liang's question casually. He pulled out the chair next to him and gestured with his two small hands to mark the distance from the center to here.
"Who is more serious than violating this rule or destroying the invitation?" Xie Liang felt that he would not be as miserable as the iron-headed boy. After all, he only rubbed the invitation.
"What!" Leved turned around. He seemed to have heard something terrible, with two small green bean eyes.
The boss glared, "Did you destroy the invitation by hanging here?"
"What's going on...what's going on?" Being stared at by Levede like this, Xie Liang felt inexplicably flustered, and he even stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"You're done, human being! Destroying the invitation is more serious than killing the person who accepted the invitation." Leved became serious, and looked at Xie Liang seriously with his two small eyes: "Killing the person who accepted the invitation is just
It’s just a matter of challenging the prestige of the castle, but if you destroy the invitation, you are disrespecting the owner of the castle! These are two completely incomparable rules!”
"No, Leved, you are mistaken!" Xie Liang swallowed: "Isn't the castle without an owner now?"
"Wait a minute!" Leved stretched out his right hand to block the gap between him and Xie Liang, and then his two short legs jumped up quickly, and then he immediately ran to the seat farthest from Xie Liang and sat down, "Human
, you have to understand that the invitation letter was made by the first owner of the castle. It is the most special thing in Gusnot Castle. There are only ten invitation letters in total, so one is less than one! So you
You are dead, I don’t know you."
After saying that, Leved buried his head on the long table and looked like he was asleep.
However, Levid soon raised his head again, and he emphasized to Xie Liang again: "Also, human, I am Terry III Levid! I am a noble, you'd better set your attitude for me, you know
, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am!"
After emphasizing, Leved thought carefully about the conversation he had just had with Xie Liang. After discovering that he had no real relationship with Xie Liang, Leved was relieved, um, it's okay!
Then, Xie Liang saw Leved lying on the table again...
"Is it so serious..." To be honest, Xie Liang himself didn't have the confidence, and his voice was very weak when he said this.
In terms of hierarchy, the owner of the castle is now the person at the top of the food chain known to Xie Liang, followed by Justice Tu, Mr. Mu, Berglie, and finally the ten guests who came to the castle for the dinner, but among them
Rushufu is the only creature in Xie Liang whose level is unknown.
Therefore, excluding Xie Liang himself and Leved, that means there will be eight unknown creatures coming to the dinner later.
It's better to wait with peace of mind. Judging from Leved's reaction, the rules he violated are indeed a bit tricky, and according to Leved, Tu Zhi seems to be a shrewd liar. Xie Liang thought to himself.
"Bogli's words are indeed half true and half false." Combined with Levid's words, Xie Liang became more vigilant about this place again. The most true lie is that it is mixed with the truth. Not a single creature in this place can
letter.
"However." Xie Liang lay on the black mist circle. He turned his head and glanced at Leved, who was pretending to sleep: "I can still see some pure good people, but they are a little timid."
…………
In the following time, in addition to Levid who was sleeping on the long table, three more creatures came to Gusnot Castle.
The first person to come was a shirtless young man with a shark-like tattoo on the left side of his face. When he first came in, he glanced at Xie Liang curiously, and then he sat quietly next to Mr. Mu.
What came in behind the boy was a tall creature wearing a black robe. Xie Liang visually estimated that the creature was at least two meters tall. It had a hood on its head, and its face could not be seen clearly. Only a delicate chin peeked out from the hood.
The last person to come in was a woman wearing a shabby coarse cloth.
, holding a greasy blue apron in her right hand, she looked like a housewife from a poor family, very ordinary, at least the most inconspicuous among the few people who came.
However, Xie Liang glanced at this woman a few more times, and it was not because of the woman's appearance or clothing.
On the contrary, the woman's appearance was very ordinary. What really caught Xie Liang's attention was her gender and the crown on her head that was as bright as the starry sky.
The strong contrast between the expensive and gorgeous crown on her head and the shabby and outdated clothes makes the woman's identity even more mysterious. Is she a thief who stole the crown? Or is she an important member of the declining royal family?
Xie Liang followed the woman with his eyes until she sat next to Leved, and finally murmured in a low voice that only he could hear: "This is the first woman I have ever seen in Gusnot Castle."
At this time, there were many more people in the castle than when Xie Liang came. The young man was still sitting quietly next to Mr. Mu. Xie Liang could not see what the tall man in the hood was doing. He happened to be sitting with his back to Xie Liang.
Xie Liang's position, and the woman wearing the crown seemed to notice Xie Liang's gaze, and then she looked at Xie Liang and showed a warm smile.
The woman's smile made people feel very comfortable. At that moment, Xie Liang felt like he was back when his grandmother touched his head when he was a child, and he couldn't help but relax physically and mentally.
The castle was very quiet. Even though five people had come to attend the dinner, they did not communicate with each other. Everyone was doing their own thing, but they sometimes glanced at the door from time to time. It felt like they were
Who are you waiting for?
About two hours later, a dull old-fashioned bell suddenly sounded in the castle.
All the creatures who were originally sitting in the seats stood up as if they had received some order when they heard the bell. Even Berglie, who had disappeared for a while, walked out of the dark aisle again and leaned on his chair.
Mr. Mu opened his scarlet eyes.
"Squeak!"
The door carved with purple mandala patterns was opened with the sound of a bell. Almost instantly, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the man dressed like a priest.
"Pay back the money! You're a liar!" Leved's voice suddenly sounded. Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, Leved rushed toward the man at the door with his short legs: "The compass you sold me last time
It’s completely fake. How could you deceive even nobles?”
Is that man the chief judge of Tu?
Xie Liang looked at the man in front of him with an awkward smile. At this time, he was being grabbed by Leved's collar to refund the money.
"Let go, let go! Leved." Tu Zhi grabbed Leved's hand and tried to get him to loosen his collar, because the looks around him made him understand that Leved's movements had to be interrupted, especially Mr. Mu's black mist.
When the crimson streamer in his heart became thinner and thinner, he said, "I didn't lie to you. I would never sell fakes. The compass I bought you last time was just something you didn't know how to use. How can you say I lied to you!"
"
"Really?" Levite let go of Tu Zhi. He still didn't believe Tu Zhi's words, although he did not know how to use the compass. At first, he only heard that there was a law of destiny that was revealed in his mind.
Bought hot.
"How could I lie to the nobles, Levid, you have to know that I am a good person." Tu Zhi straightened the cross pendant on his chest and walked towards the long table with a serious look, "Also,
