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 hairs are standing upright.
On the first day of the journey, he once met a little ghost girl named "Pestoya" in this manor, in this banquet hall.
The little girl gave him such a butterfly brooch.
Su Lun used the omniscient pupil to see the "???" message in the brooch, so to be on the safe side, he hid it in a corner of the crypt.
Looking back now, he still felt that the act of hiding the brooch was very necessary.
This is a world with mysterious powers.
When the omniscient pupil identified several "???" messages, they all involved very high-end things.
Although Su Lun didn't know what it was, 80% of them were indescribable existences.
Moreover, Su Lun now is no longer the first day of cognition.
He also knew now, no matter how real the people in the cursed space were, it was still a remnant or an illusion.
Generally speaking, even if it is a ghost, it is an NPC with less intelligence.
But Suren has gone through so many cursed spaces now, and encountered a lot of monsters, but compared with the "Pestoya" he once encountered, his wisdom is not on the same level.
Emotion, dialogue, logical thinking skills...
"Pestoya" looks exactly like a real person!
This made Su Lun more and more sure that the level of the cursed space of this [Storm Manor] would be unimaginable.
Or, very special.
After all, Pestoya has another identity, she is the daughter of Sir Isaac!
At first, I felt that there was a weird story. Now that Su Lun understood part of the background of Dawn City, he realized that this must involve some secrets from a thousand years ago.
So that brooch is here...
More weird!
.......
The moment he saw Princess Teresa, Su Lun narrowed his gaze, and then quietly moved his position to avoid the possibility of being seen by her as much as possible.
When he saw this brooch, two thoughts came to him reflexively.
1. The brooch that I buried was discovered and dug out, it is just an ordinary curse;
2. There is a big problem with this brooch;
Su Lun's way of thinking has always been bad.
He chose 2.
And now, there is a great possibility that this brooch has a problem.
Before, he was wondering if there was something in the ruins of dawn that would attract the princess of the grand duke's family to risk personally.
Now it seems that either she has discovered some secrets from this brooch, such as a treasure map.
But even if it is a treasure map, she doesn't need to come in person.
After all, the entire underground world is her mine pit, just send someone here.
Either she had some reason why she had to come.
Still very urgent.
Regardless of the type, Su Lun felt that it was best not to get involved.
Looking at the arrogant aura of that Teresa, he also vaguely understood what was going on with the familiar feeling before.
......
As soon as Teresa appeared, everyone's eyes focused on the past.
In fact, even in the inner city, few of those big chaebols had seen this princess.
After all, the daughter of the mine owner, who is the owner of the mine, just drilled into her own mine when she was fine?
Most of the people present would think that the aloofness on Teresa's face is the temperament that a nobleman should have.
But who can think that the ducal mansion in the inner city may be a decoration.
People occasionally go down to the mine to inspect the situation, and they are regarded as a gift by these people.
After Teresa entered the banquet hall, she said nothing.
But it was this attitude of ignoring everything that excited the crowd in the inner city in the audience.
Ah...this is the real nobleman.
All of them did not hesitate to praise their own, and they sounded like whispering, but that voice, wishing their praises would be heard by the princess.
"Oh, Princess Teresa is so beautiful, like an angel..."
"This time I can see the princess with my own eyes, not to mention this ruin, even if I go to die, I will not hesitate..."
"Yes. If I could be allowed to kiss her toes, it would be my honour in my life..."
"Ah! My Valen family will always be the most loyal servants of the Duke and Princess Teresa..."
"..."
Su Lun always felt strange when he listened.
It was the first time to participate in this kind of high-class cocktail party, which made him feel a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere of touting the lord.
But fortunately, this Teresa didn't seem to have the idea of drinking and having dinner here. As soon as she came, she directly entered the theme of the banquet.
The female officer behind her announced: "The purpose of your Royal Highness in calling you to come to the Ruins of Dawn is already clear to everyone. This task requires everyone to explore the ruins and find something..."
There was a lot of crackling.
Listening to the words of the female officer, Su Lun quickly analyzed some key information in his mind.
Open up wasteland, find something.
That Teresa was not sure where the "things" were, and needed to open up the entire ruins.
Then there are tasks and rewards.
Listening to the female officer, probably which family can find what the princess wants, it will definitely be appreciated by the Duke's Mansion and become the first family in the inner city.
......
"The big families must arrive at the core city of the ruins on time and follow the route..."
After a while, the female officer finished.
She waved her hand and said softly: "Draw!"
The voice fell, and a group of servants came up with the plates one by one.
The principals of the major families stepped forward to draw lots, like cutting a cake. The ruins were divided into more than 30 routes, and whichever one was drawn.
By coincidence, the little girl Lena went up to draw and got the sixteenth pick.
The fifteenth is the Oliver family, the seventeenth is the Clark family...
This means that on the way to hunting wasteland, there are enemies on both sides.
Compared with the bitter face of the little girl Lena, Su Lun smiled disapprovingly when he saw what was here: "These guys have some tricks, they can actually do their hands and feet in the draw..."
But it is also just right.
He was still thinking about the treasure in the hands of Young Master Dan Ze.
This time I'm going to hunt wasteland, and the crisis is perilous, and the young and old will probably bring it with him.
When the draw was over, the Princess Teresa left.
Su Lun was also inexplicably relieved.
The feeling that made his eyebrows sore secretly then disappeared.
Although he only saw a familiar butterfly brooch, he felt faintly palpitating.
.......
The princess exited, thinking it was a formal banquet afterwards.
But I didn't think about it. At this time, the maids walked in with the silver lid plate and started to serve the "main course".
When the main course was on the table, a strong smell of blood immediately swept the entire banquet hall.
Everyone looked at each other and thought it was some fresh "sashimi"
The Princess Teresa had already left, and everyone at the reception was no longer so restrained.
Someone was curious and opened the dinner plate to take a look.
Everyone's eyes focused on the past.
It was discovered that it was actually a simple pickled **** head!
Not all the young masters in the inner city have seen **** blood. At this look, they turned pale in fright and exclaimed in an instant. But because it was the temporary residence of the Miss Teresa, they covered their mouths one by one, and no one dared to scream out loud.
Someone recognized the origin of the head, and tremblingly said: "This... isn't this the youngest son of Mr. Marino, the owner of the'Tesari family'?"
Once I opened the other dinner plates, the Tesali family was all together.
From old to young, the family has more than 20 direct descendants here.
Head feast...
Everyone was blinded by this horrible scene.
Looking at the table full of people, these young masters in the inner city immediately understood what.
This is to kill chickens and monkeys.
But they didn't understand why the "Tesari family" was suddenly destroyed.
"This... why is this..."
"Yes, aren't Mr. Tesari actively responding to the hunting? Many people have been sent this time..."
"Is it a mistake, or is it another reason?"
"..."
There is no impermeable wall in the upper class circles.
At this time, a woman stood up and told the truth about the matter.
"Hey... I probably know what's going on. Mrs. Tesali had been reluctant to let her son hunt the wasteland before, and then, taking a chance, she temporarily replaced the son of a bodyguard as a stand-in. She also persuaded her. I do it like this..."
With that said, the lady didn't forget to express her attitude: "I warned them not to play tricks, let's do it now. The Duke's orders are executed properly, and it's not like this."
Everyone understands this.
What I thought I did was seamless, and the result was all under the control of the Black Tower.
This also made the young ladies who originally wanted to play tricks in the wilderness hunting, feel inexplicably cold in their necks.
The tough attitude of that Princess Teresa broke any of their illusions.
For a while, the huge reception was silent.
But...
They all have hard work without credit.
As the leader of the Duke of Raphael, those who can stand here are, at any rate, the face of the inner city.
Warn them in such a brutal and brutal way?
It seems that this is not a crime worthy of death. The Duke's Mansion actually doesn't talk about affection at all. A big family will wipe it out if it says it is wiped out?
The expressions of the people are complicated, they are worried, angry, incomprehensible, angry...
But no one dared to say anything.
But the more the top family in the inner city, the more they know the horror of the black tower.
Especially some people who have heard only a few words from the "uprising" fifty years ago from their elders, even more dare not say anything.
.......
Su Lun watched from afar, seeing this familiar scene, he was no less shocked than others.
But it wasn't the **** head banquet that shocked him, but this method made him feel inexplicably familiar!
The same banquet hall, the same **** method...
Su Lun seemed to recall the original scene before his eyes, and said to himself: "How does Teresa's method feel like Pestonia... Is it a coincidence?"
For a time, the clues related to the brain were connected together.
He vaguely felt that he seemed to have guessed part of the truth.
But there are contradictions in some places, and it always feels wrong.
For example, the most critical question is, why did Sir Isaac burn his daughter to death?
Suddenly, there was an unbelievable guess in his heart: "Or... the Pestoia I saw is not Sir Isaac's daughter at all? That's not, who is it?"
The only thing that can be determined now is that there must be a problem with the butterfly brooch.
.......
The thoughts in Su Lun's mind were still floating. At this time, Qianjo didn't know where he came from.
The only necessary part of the reception has ended, and they have no need to stay.
She greeted both Sulun and said, "Let's go, we're going back too."
With that said, Chijo naturally took Su Lun's arm.
When the three of them left the manor, Lena asked, "Auntie, where do you and Mr. Zorro live?"
Qianjo responded: "Rose Hotel."
Lena thought for a while, it seemed that the conditions of the Rose Hotel were not so good, and she enthusiastically invited: "Oh, it just so happens that I still have a vacant room there. Auntie, come and live with me~"
After speaking, he said in a slightly coquettish tone: "It's been a long time since I had a good conversation with my aunt..."
It's hard for others to find a room, and this stupid girl from the landlord's house is still available.
"OK."
Chijo listened to it, and naturally readily agreed.
The three of them walked all the way down.
"If you have drawn the 15th line, you will set off the day after tomorrow at the latest. But we haven't recruited the hunting group and mercenaries..."
"It's not a big problem. The people on the cross will be dispatched by you when the time comes. And Mr. Zorro will also go with him. He is very good. If you have any questions, just ask him..."
"..."
Su Lun listened to the conversation between the two women, but couldn't get in.
As he walked, he was a little curious that this gambling-addicted young woman seemed to be used to this lady's dress, but didn't he hear her complaining?
Not long after, they walked to the "Unicorn Hotel."
Su Lun originally wanted to go back to the Rose Hotel to have a good rest, but Lena also invited him.
He didn't refuse, so he followed upstairs.
This is a luxury hotel and is well decorated.
There are two suites on the top floor, and because the eldest lady Reina lives, there is no arrangement for anyone else.
The size of the suite is several times larger than the hotel room where Suren lived, and it also has a bathtub.
Senjo seemed to be very happy, and the two women occupied a room.
Su Lun went to another one.
.......
The bed in the room is very comfortable and soft to sit on.
Thinking of going hunting wasteland, and probably couldn't take a bath for a long time, Su Lun also went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Facts have proved that when people take a bath, inspirational thinking is the most active.
Su Lun wiped bubbles on his head, and when the hot water rushed on his head, it was like a faint electric current stimulating his thoughts, and his senses became clearer.
On the way back, the "butterfly brooch" thing he had been thinking about.
Now I still haven't figured it out, so I don't think much.
Then, he thought of Lena next door.
"Little girl Lena is in a really bad situation right now. Listening to her statement, the divisions and the families of Oliver in the inner city seem to be planning to completely exaggerate the long house this time. But her father can be here. The inner city has such a big division of business, there should be more than this means..."
Su Lun wondered.
Maybe it's the Black Tower who wants to build the Reyes Long Room?
He knows that Chijo is a member of the "Mirror Organization" and guesses that 80% of the Reyes family is related to the "Mirror".
But if this is the case, it should be the umbrella organization.
Or, is it simply because the Duke's Mansion does not want to see too large a consortium to appear, and that is it?
So, the troubles of Oliver's Great Family have been acquiesced?
Thoughts flew in Su Lun's mind.
.......
The soundproofing of the room is very good, and the sound of the next door cannot be heard.
But listening to the faint sound of water flowing in the wall, Su Lun also guessed that someone was taking a shower next door.
Probably a thousand.
Su Lun thought.
With the bathtub, the young gambling addict who likes to soak in the bath will probably take a good soak.
But suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
"Huh! That's not right. Sister Qianjo has become a little strange since she left the manor..."
Su Lun frowned when he thought of something suddenly.
If it had been in Old Lingdon before, he might not have noticed anything.
But recently, he and Chijo have been together for so many days, the temperament of that boss has long been familiar enough to no longer be familiar.
Before leaving the manor, even though he looked holding hands, he was still very intimate.
But Su Lun clearly noticed some subtle differences.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration, he finally found out why he always felt like something was almost done before.
Without that soft touch!
The two were already very familiar, and Qianjo didn't hide anything from Su Lun at all. If it were on weekdays, her carefree character would definitely stick to her.
But just now, he has kept a very rational distance.
"The'Chijo' just now, isn't Chijoo sister?"
Su Lun thought of a possibility that made him feel shocked.
But at the same time very confused.
"That's not right! The breath and body are exactly the same. Disguise is absolutely impossible to achieve this level."
He is very confident, his current perception is absolutely impossible to hold a fake thousand without being discovered.
Moreover, he felt that the strength of the young gambling addict had reached Tier 4 and would never be replaced silently.
But suddenly, there was a flash of thought.
Suddenly thinking of the bizarre appearance of the "butterfly brooch",
Or some special abilities...
It may not be impossible to use fakes!
"Special talent, or someone who is good at pretending to be a professional?"
Thinking of this, Su Lun no longer calmed down.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious his previous "Thousand Articles" were.
That is a detail that no one else can detect!
........
Together these days, UU reading has become more and more out of control.
If it is as he expected, the problem will go away!
Who would pretend to be Chijo?
That 80% is the clue that Heita found, confirming her identity.
This is how I came to fish!
Not only for one person, but for the "mirror organization"!
But with these thoughts, Su Lun thought of too many strange things...
What if you think too much?
In order to clarify his guess, Su Lun planned to determine the situation himself.
