ps. First draft, no words to read after 20 minutes.

Seeing the black butterfly brooch on Princess Teresa's chest, Su Lun's eyes froze.

He immediately realized that things might be more complicated than expected.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like my hair is standing on end.

On the first day he traveled back in time, he met a little ghost girl named "Pestoya" in this manor and in this banquet hall.

The little girl gave him such a butterfly brooch.

Su Lun once saw the "???" message in the brooch with his omniscient eye, so he hid it in a corner of the cave just to be on the safe side.

Looking back now, he still felt that hiding the brooch was very necessary.

This is a world with mysterious power.

When the Omniscient Eye identified "???" information several times, it involved very high-end things.

Although Su Lun didn't know what it was specifically, it was probably some indescribable existence.

Moreover, Su Lun is no longer the cognitive novice he was on the first day he traveled back in time.

He also knows now that the people in the cursed space, no matter how real they are, are just remnants or illusions.

Generally speaking, even ghost species are NPCs with low intelligence.

But Su Lun has now experienced so many cursed spaces and encountered many monsters. However, compared with the "Pestoya" he once encountered, his wisdom is not on the same level at all.

Emotion, conversation, logical thinking ability...

"Pestoia" looks exactly like a real person!

This made Su Lun more and more certain that the level of the cursed space in [Storm Manor] would be unimaginably high.

Or, very special.

After all, Pestoya also has another identity, she is Sir Isaac's biological daughter!

This seemed like a weird story at first. Now that Su Lun understands part of the background of Dawn City, he realizes that it must involve some secrets from a thousand years ago.

So that brooch appears here...

It’s getting weirder!

.......

The moment he saw Princess Teresa, Su Lun averted his gaze, and then quietly moved his body, trying his best to avoid the possibility of being seen by her.

When he saw this brooch, two thoughts came to his mind reflexively.

1. The brooch that I buried was found and dug out. It was just an ordinary cursed object;

2. There is a big problem with this brooch;

Su Lun's way of thinking is always to think about the worst.

He chose 2.

And looking at it now, there is a high possibility that there is something wrong with this brooch.

He had been suspecting before that there was something in the Dawn Ruins that would attract the princess of the grand duke's family to risk herself.

Now it seems that she either discovered some secret from this brooch, such as a treasure map.

But even if it's a treasure map, she doesn't need to come in person.

After all, the entire underground world is her family's mine, so just send someone here.

Either she had some reason why she had to come.

Still very urgent.

No matter which one it was, Su Lun felt it was best not to get involved.

Looking at Theresa's aloof aura, he also vaguely understood what the familiar feeling was about.

...

As soon as Theresa appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on her.

In fact, even in the inner city, very few of the big chaebols have seen the princess.

After all, who's mine owner's rich daughter just goes into her own mine when nothing happens?

Most people present would think that the aloofness on Teresa's face was the temperament of a high-ranking noble.

But who would have thought that the Duke's Palace in the inner city might just be a decoration.

When people occasionally go down to the mine to inspect the situation, these people regard it as a gift.

After Teresa entered the banquet hall, she didn't say a word.

But it was this indifferent attitude that excited the inner city people in the audience.

Ah...this is the real nobility.

Each one of them was generous with their praises, which sounded like whispers, but the voices were eager for their praises to be heard by the princess.

"Oh, Princess Teresa is so beautiful, like an angel..."

"I can see the princess with my own eyes on this trip. If I don't come to this ruins, even if I have to go to die, I will not hesitate..."

"Yes. If you can allow me to kiss her toes, it will be the honor of my life..."

"Ah! Our Warren family will always be the most loyal servants of the Duke and Princess Theresa..."

"..."

Su Lun always felt strange when listening to it.

It was his first time to attend such a high-society drinking party, and the atmosphere of praising the lord made him a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Teresa didn't seem to have any intention of drinking and having dinner here. As soon as she arrived, she got into the theme of the banquet.

The female officer behind her announced: "The purpose of Her Royal Highness Princess summoning everyone to come to the Dawn Ruins is already clear. This mission requires everyone to explore the ruins and find something..."

He talked a lot.

After listening to the female officer's words, Su Lun quickly analyzed some key information in his mind.

Open up wasteland and find things.

Then Teresa wasn't sure where the "thing" was, so she needed to open up the entire ruins.

Then there are tasks and rewards.

According to what the female official said, whichever family can find what the princess wants will definitely be appreciated by the Duke's Palace and become the first family in the inner city.

...

"All major families must arrive at the core city of the ruins on time and according to the route..."

Not long after, the female officer finished speaking.

She waved her hand and shouted softly: "Draw lots!"

After the words fell, a group of servants came up one by one carrying dinner plates.

The heads of the major families stepped forward to draw lots, just like cutting a cake. The ruins were divided into more than thirty routes, and whichever route was drawn would be the route.

What a coincidence, girl Reina went up to draw and got the number sixteen.

Number 15 is the Oliver family, number 17 is the Clark family...

This means that on the way to hunt wilderness, there are enemies on both sides.

Compared to the sad face of the girl Reina, Su Lun smiled disapprovingly when he saw this: "These guys have some tricks up their sleeves. They can actually manipulate the lottery..."

But it's just right.

He was still thinking about the treasure in Young Master Danze's hand.

This time we are going hunting in the wilderness, and there are dangers everywhere. There is a high probability that the young man will bring him with him.

After the draw was over, Princess Teresa left the stage.

Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Only then did the feeling of pain between his brows disappear.

Although he just saw a familiar butterfly brooch, he felt faintly palpitating.

.......

The princess left, thinking that there would be a formal banquet afterwards.

Unexpectedly, at this time, maids came in one after another carrying silver-covered dinner plates and began to serve the "main course".

When the main course was served, a strong smell of blood immediately swept through the entire banquet hall.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, thinking it was some fresh "sashimi"

Princess Teresa had already left, and everyone at the reception was no longer so reserved.
