The sword of the pirate is like a dream

Chapter 128 There is only one answer

There is still a lot of fog.

With Guina leading the way, the three planned to grab a servant to ask for directions, and then go straight to Huanglong.

Previously, he was going to run away after touching a ticket, so he didn't touch the servants. After all, the loss of one person for no reason may alarm the Earl's Mansion.

Now, anyway, it won't be long before the suspected church building will be completely burned, and the attention of the entire Earl's Mansion will be drawn to it, so there is no need to care about this small detail.

Don't be in a hurry now.

Originally, it would be more convenient if we could inquire about the Earl’s family situation or the Earl’s body in advance, but Nami admitted frankly that since the incident on Josh Island, many information dealers in the underground world have shrunk, especially The big organized intelligence agencies are especially good, one by one hides well.

The few relevant practitioners that can be found today are either selling outdated information or selling false information to fool people. Although Earl Island has a big name, it has always been low-key and the information has always been kept secret, even for her. The ground snake couldn't figure out anything more useful.

"name?"

Wearing a ghost mask, Ai Ou approached the young servant who was sitting against the wall and was just woken up by Lilith's ladle of cold water, and said in a cold voice.

"Ah——" the man's exclamation just got up, but was held back by the blade that Lilyxi handed in front of her eyes. She hastily stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, staring at the gleaming blade tip with wide eyes, not daring to vent her breath. .

This young man had a fair and tender face, and he looked like a child. His eyes were filled with frightened tears, and he looked quite pitiful.

Lily Xi grabbed the knife with both hands, and warned him viciously: "Answer honestly if you don't want to die!"

She doesn't know how to use a knife, she held it purely as a gesture, and after holding it up for a while, she couldn't do it well, the tip of the knife shook slightly, but she still held on and refused to put it down first.

Ai Ou pressed the back of her knife and repeated the question: "Name?"

Lilish put down the knife obediently, and dragged it to the blind spot of Xiao Shou's face, only then breathed a sigh of relief.

Kuina silently took out a dagger and handed it to her.

Xiao Shou let out a sigh of relief as he watched Dao Feng leave. In a blink of an eye, he felt that the face of the evil ghost who had just opened his eyes and startled him was not so scary anymore, so he quickly replied: "I, my name is Xiaotian."

"gender?"

"Male." He answered quickly, tears overflowed from his eyes, wet his long eyelashes, and looked more and more vulnerable.

"where to live?"

A look of hesitation appeared on Xiao Shou's face for a moment, Li Lixi grabbed the short knife and moved over: "Huh?"

The hesitation immediately changed to panic, and he looked at the face of Ai Ou's evil spirit helplessly. !"

Ai Ou pinched Li Lixi's knife to make her shrink back a little, and Xiao Shou's face immediately showed a bit of gratitude.Ai Ou understood, and asked again: "Aren't you living in the Earl's Mansion?"

"No, no, I only came to work in the Earl's Mansion this spring. The harvest at home is not good this year, so I had to secretly sign up to work in the Earl's Mansion."

"From what you're saying, is it that everyone doesn't want to be able to work in the Earl's Mansion? Too little salary? Too many rules?"

"It's not that everyone doesn't want to. Only those who are good-looking can come in to work, but this year some conditions have been relaxed...The salary is very good, the rice is good rice, and it can be sold for a lot of money...I have never been a servant before, nobleman Don’t you guys have so many rules?”

Xiao Shoulian hesitated while talking, and said cautiously: "Although you will pay a lot of money if you break the rules and be beaten to death, it's better to do it in various ways."

The man's words were a bit confusing, but Ai Ou generally understood what he meant, "How many servants are there in the Earl's Mansion?"

Is this island rich in handsome men and beautiful women?
"I don't know." Xiao Shou shook his head, "Only the housekeeper knows about this kind of thing."

"He's handsome too?"

"Master Steward? It should be, right?"

"Should? What does he look like?"

"Master Steward has big eyes, a small nose, and a big mouth, and the ears are hidden in the hair..."

"How tall? Fat?"

"A little taller than me, with a protruding belly and a little hunchback..."

When Xiao Shoulian concentrated on recalling the description, Ai Ou glanced at Kuina, who nodded slightly to indicate that she had indeed found this person.

"Listen to you, the butler is not good-looking at all. Is he a relative of the Earl?"

"I, I don't know." Xiao Shoulian shook his head again, "No one among the dozens of us newcomers knows about this, and the seniors don't even talk to us."

"Dozens? Does the Earl's Mansion have to recruit so many people every year? Every year, a group of people who are too old to work will be released?"

"I used to recruit people every spring. I don't know how many people I recruited before... Miss Xiaochun is very quick at work..."

"Who is sister Xiaochun?"

"Sister Xiaochun just went out from the Earl's Mansion..."

"Then she was dismissed because she was old and fading?"

"No! Sister Xiaochun is very beautiful, and everyone likes her very much!"

"including you?"

"I, I..." Xiao Shou's face flickered, but he didn't answer.

Li Lixi was about to continue to pretend to be arrogant, but Ai Ou reached out to stop her, and continued: "Have you ever thought that your sister Xiaochun might be with the Earl..."

Xiao Shou waited for a while, but didn't hear the second half, and asked involuntarily, "What's the matter with the Earl?"

"..."

His unpretentious question really choked Io, how could this guy not use his imagination!
"Maybe she is pregnant with the Earl's child."

"Do not--"

He only uttered half a word in this exclamation, and Lilyxi shoved something to cover Xiaoshou's mouth with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Ai Ou continued to be persuasive: "Think about it, your sister Xiaochun is so beautiful, she must meet the requirements of the Earl's Mansion to be good-looking, and she works hard. Why did the Earl's Mansion let go of such a capable maid? The new recruit People are clumsy, so they must not be used by skilled people, right? When you farm at home, if you want to hire someone to do the work, you would rather spend more money to hire someone who is skilled in the work, right? "

"My land doesn't need..."

"That's not the point! The point is why did the Earl's Mansion send your sister Xiaochun out? He is so outstanding in every aspect, so it's impossible for the butler of the Earl's Mansion to be blind, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"There is only one answer! That is, your sister Xiaochun is so beautiful, the Earl fell in love with her at first sight, but the Countess is a very jealous woman in private, so the Earl had no choice but to send your sister Xiaochun outside, so as not to be hurt. The Countess' murderous hand, he only sneaks out to see her when he misses her... Think about it carefully, does your sister Xiaochun sometimes act strangely?"

The other three present all looked at Ai Ou in unison, extremely surprised.
