Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 45 Winter County Winter Pillars are Sweet

"Lord Black."

After exchanging pleasantries with Yu Jin for a while, Earl Hall suddenly smiled and said, "In fact, I'm curious about how you and Audrey met?"

"At the salon given by Viscount Glint."

Yu Jin was not surprised by Count Hall's question and replied calmly.

Embers is clear.

He and Earl Hall had no intersection at all, and the only person who made the two of them have any intersection was Audrey Hall.

The other party invited him over, undoubtedly wanting to confirm his relationship with her daughter.

All the previous pleasantries were just a prelude to this question, to make his inquiry seem less aggressive and rude.

After all, he is an earl, and it is common for nobles to have to save face. He can't just come to you aggressively and interrogate you about where you met him, right?

"Graylint?"

Count Hall frowned slightly and asked, "So, Audrey's potion formula..."

"I gave it to you."

Yu Jin said frankly, "I obtained the formula through private channels, and Miss Audrey paid me a total of 600 gold pounds for it."

He made no secret of this.

After all, the fact that Count Hall sent people to stake out the Backlund Detective Agency meant that the other party knew his public identity very well.

In that case, he might as well be honest.

"That's it."

Count Hall sighed softly, as if he was relieved but also a little helpless.

He was not surprised by Yu Jin's answer. After all, he had been guessing it.

Earl Hall was well aware that his daughter had always been fascinated by the occult.

Even the aristocratic children who were friends with Audrey's peers were all eager to get in touch with the mysterious world just like Audrey.

Viscount Glint was the one who had a close relationship with Audrey and was the one she was most infatuated with.

In fact, he had already discovered this when his daughter became a Beyonder half a month ago.

Although he was not an extraordinary person, it was difficult for him to notice the changes in Audrey.

But as an earl, his family is still protected by some powerful extraordinary people, and Audrey's changes cannot be hidden from their eyes.

The fact that Audrey had become a Beyonder had always troubled Earl Hall greatly.

Becoming an Extraordinary Person might not be a bad thing in itself. After all, the support of the Hall family was enough to save Audrey from many troubles.

But the source of Audrey's recipe made Earl Hall worried.

He was afraid that someone was trying to use Audrey to achieve some purpose.

But now that he had received Yu Jin's affirmation, he actually felt relieved.

Although Yu Jin was just a stranger before this, as an orthodox Nighthawk, he naturally would not have any plans.

Especially since Yu Jin also deliberately mentioned the private channels and six hundred gold pounds, it meant that the formula had nothing to do with the Church of Night.

Furthermore, Audrey had already paid a price to obtain the formula, so she would not have much to do with the official Beyonders.

On the one hand, although becoming an official Beyonder can bring some conveniences, one will also have to bear some corresponding responsibilities.

This convenience is better than nothing for the Hall family, but it is the responsibilities that will constrain Audrey.

Secondly, the official Beyonders are too dangerous—

Others may not know, but Earl Hall knows very well how high the official Beyonder death rate is!

Fortunately, nothing developed into the worst possible situation, and Yu Jin's answer was exactly what Earl Hall expected.

"Don't talk about that."

Earl Hall pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Viscount Black, to be honest, I have never actually been to Winter County. You have lived there for so long, so you must be very familiar with the environment there. Tell me, is the winter in Winter County as cold as the rumors in the capital?"

"Aren't you the one who suddenly wants to talk about this?"

Yu Jin complained in his heart, but he looked calm on the outside and shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's cold, but it's not cold either."

"Oh?"

Earl Hall seemed to be intrigued.

"Earl Hall."

Yu Jin met Earl Hall's curious gaze and said calmly, "If you want to go to Winter County one day, the people there will enthusiastically tell you that the iron pillars in Winter County are sweet in winter." "Really?"

Earl Hall looked surprised.

"fake."

Ember shook his head. “The winter pillars in Wintershire are salty.”

“Is there such a magical thing?”

Earl Hall said in amazement, "Then I must try it if I have the chance."

"No, I'm kidding."

Yu Jin's expression fell a little, and he said helplessly, "If you, Earl Hall, really try to do this, you will find that your tongue will be firmly stuck to the pillar because they are frozen together."

"And if you forcibly pull the tongue off the pillar, you will only end up pulling your tongue off in excruciating pain."

After a pause, Ember added, "Then you can taste the saltiness of the blood, so if you lick the pillar, you can indeed taste the saltiness."

"..."

Earl Hall's cheek twitched slightly. Just by listening, he knew that this must be very painful. He couldn't help but ask, "What if someone really accidentally sticks their tongue to the pillar?"

"If the situation allows, you can pour hot water little by little."

Yu Jin considered his words carefully and said with a strange expression, "And if the situation does not allow it and there is no hot water on hand, then we must act quickly, otherwise we may freeze to death if we delay too long."

"At this time, we can only rely on the body's own heat to pour liquid on it."

"saliva?"

Lord Hall asked tentatively.

"The amount is too small, and the effect is too slow. We need a larger amount. Well, I'm not talking about blood, and it's best not to try with blood."

"Then what..."

Seeing that Yu Jin was vague, Earl Hall asked subconsciously, then quickly realized something and his expression froze.

"Urine?"

"Ah."

Ember nodded silently.

"Ok."

Earl Hall smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think I would ever want to try something so dangerous in my life."

Then, Earl Hall curiously asked, "I have a certain understanding of how cold Winter County is, but what do you mean by not being cold? Could it be that the people in Winter County are more resistant to cold?"

"Mr. Count, this is a very simple question."

Ember sighed and pointed to the fireplace on the right side of the living room.

"All right,"

Earl Hall was speechless, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It seems that I asked a stupid question."

Unconsciously, because of this teasing conversation, the relationship between the two people became much closer.

At the same time, Earl Hall was certain of one thing in his heart.

Although Yu Jin's information is hidden, at least the fact that he is from Winter County should not be false.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for outsiders to understand these local stories or accidents in Winter County in such detail.

of course.

What Lord Hall didn't know was that Ember himself didn't know whether Wintershire had these sad stories.

He just made it up based on the few fragments of memory in his mind.

He didn't even know that the private channel that Yu Jin was referring to was Archbishop Anthony of the Church of Night.

ps: The progress of these chapters is a bit slow, or to put it bluntly, it's just water.

This is not because there was a lot of spam during the free period, but because the book had just been published when I wrote these chapters (during the National Day holiday).

Firstly, there are too many things to do during the National Day holiday. Just talking about visiting, I have to visit six families in the seven days of the National Day, four for weddings, one for a full moon and one for a birthday. It is really too busy.

Secondly, it was my first time writing a book on Qidian and I didn’t understand the rules. I didn’t know that Qidian required internal submissions, so I just published it without any effort.

Then, because I saw that I had not signed a contract even after publishing 40,000 to 50,000 words, I thought I had sent it. (In fact, it was because the editors of Qidian were on holiday during the National Day holiday).

As a result, the chapters I wrote in those few days were a bit watery, and I hope my readers will forgive me.

But don't worry, I will resume working later. (After all, I signed the contract after the National Day holiday, so I was able to write smoothly with confidence.)
