As he spoke, he picked up the contract and briefly explained the situation.
"Relying on your parents at home and relying on friends outside. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to work together and complete the task with minimal losses?" Xu Huo glanced at the nine names on the contract. Except for Mr. and Mrs. Ma, everyone else signed.
Seeing that he was silent, Frye said again: "Mr. Xu, the castle is so big, how many clues can you find by yourself? Among the ten of us, as long as one person completes the task, the others can pass smoothly." Xu Huo faced With a hint of surprise on his face,
"The contract is not an ordinary prop. It has the same binding force on the holder and the participants?" Frye's face suddenly darkened. Then Baby Face said: "We have already tried it, and there is no problem with the contract, even if it is breached. You won’t really be punished.”
"Really?" Xu Huo definitely wouldn't sign. He paused and then said, "The contract may be fine, but are you sure that the twelve people who came are all mission players?" Everyone's expressions changed, and You Qiwen immediately said: " Mr. Xu, do you know something?" Xu Huo didn't intend to say more. Just as he was about to leave, Baby Face said: "Brother, just forget it if you don't want to join the gang. There is no need to sow discord here." How many other people were there? I was a little wary, but some people listened.
After glancing at them, Xu Huo said nothing more, but walked out of the main building and found the young servant who had brought him tea before to show him around this large castle.
In fact, before he came last night, he took advantage of the rain to search in the front garden. However, the rumor that there were human bones in the garden was obviously false. The soil in the garden should not have been turned over for a long time, and it was not like someone had been buried there. .
After walking around in the garden, Xu Huo said to the servant: "It's a pity that no one can see such a beautiful garden. I have a friend who likes flowers. I wonder if Mr. Dong can send an invitation to my friend." ? But Mr. Dong looks too serious and it must be difficult to talk." The young servant smiled and said: "Mr. Dong is actually a very nice person and takes good care of us. However, the housekeeper cannot invite guests beyond the master. If Mr. Xu wants to invite friends, If you want to enjoy the flowers, it’s best to talk to your husband.”
"But Mr. He hasn't come downstairs, and it seems he doesn't plan to see guests today." Xu Huo said rather distressedly.
"Sir, you will definitely come downstairs during dinner time." The young servant said firmly: "This has always been the case before. Sir, you respect every invited guest." Xu Huo nodded and turned the topic to He Pu's spiders. superior.
There is a special place for raising spiders in the castle. There is an annex in the woods behind the garden maze. The servant told him that Mr. Dong has been taking care of it since Hepu got sick, because there are many precious spiders in the annex. Variety, other servants usually don't go over.
After wandering around half of the castle, the servant was called away. Xu Huo did not continue walking around alone, but returned to the main building and went to the study for a while before going back to the room.
But when I opened the door and went out, I saw Mrs. Ma in silk pajamas leaning against the door, raising her glass and saying, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you just come back?"
"The servant just brought lunch and wine. Let's have a drink together?" Xu Huo glanced at her room. The door was closed tightly and Mr. Ma did not come out.
Mrs. Ma rolled her sleeves and leaned against him,
"Death, he fell asleep and didn't wake up despite the thunder. What are you afraid of?" Xu Huo put an umbrella against her shoulder, walked around her and entered the room.
"Speak directly, do you still want to do this in the game?" Mrs. Ma followed him,
"What are you talking about, little brother? I am sincere to you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. You look good and have a great figure..." Xu Huo didn't answer at all and didn't even want to look at her again.
Mrs. Ma gave the blind man a flirtatious look and curled her lips and said, "It's not interesting at all. You've lost all your good flesh for nothing."
"I came here just to say hello to you. We are all our own people. Please don't flood the Dragon King Temple."
"Those young men just now asked you to cooperate. They are a bunch of young people, and they dare to sign the contract in the game casually."
"Really stupid people can't survive in the game." Xu Huo sat down and acquiesced to her statement,
"Don't worry, if you don't mess with me, I won't care about you. There are so many players, are you worried that you won't get enough points?"
"We, as a couple, have always valued harmony. Now, we took the initiative to come to our door." Mrs. Ma blinked.
"But we are all here as guests. We can't do whatever we want in other people's homes. I think those new players are quite rich. If the three of us cooperate and make five from two, no one will suffer." Xu Huo was determined. He looked at her for a few seconds,
"Do you really think you are here to have dinner? There is a lot going on in this castle." Mrs. Ma was stunned for a moment.
"How to say?"
"Hope."
"Didn't he invite us here? What's the problem?" Mrs. Ma frowned.
"Who said it must be him who invited us here?" Xu Huo said, "Don't forget, there is no name written on the invitation. It could be him, the housekeeper or someone else."
"Then why did he meet us alone?" Mrs. Ma said, "Who didn't know whether he invited us or not?" The Ma couple also bought their invitations. She and her husband didn't get tickets for the game and were stranded in the Garden Castle. Station, they learned that the Rose Flower Castle would host banquets every once in a while, and no tickets were required, and they could enter with an invitation. This did not clearly tell them that the boss of the castle was taking advantage of the loopholes, so they took it for granted that the owner of the castle was just for food. human player.
Doesn't it further illustrate this point that He Pu took the initiative to meet them instead of other players?
"How long have you been here?" Xu Huo asked. Mrs. Ma hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's been two months."
"Two months is not a long time," Xu Huo raised his eyebrows and said, "I just asked about it. Rose Flower Castle has been hosting guests for several years. If there is such a good thing, won't the players on this site grab it? Can it easily fall into the hands of foreign players?"
"That's not necessarily true. We spent a lot of money on these two invitations." Mrs. Ma disagreed.
"Do you think He Pu is seriously ill?" Xu Huo asked again. Mrs. Ma pouted,
"It looks like he hasn't eaten in seventeen or eighteen days."
"The servant said that He Pu rarely goes downstairs except to entertain guests. The person in charge of the castle is Mr. Dong, the butler." Xu Huo paused and then said: "Actually, He Pu also asked the servant to call me just now, but I didn't see it. Others were stopped by Mr. Dong." Mrs. Ma knew that Xu Huo had been on the third floor, but the time was a little short.
"Anyway, don't overthink things." Xu Huoyi said pointedly: "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Mrs. Ma's expression changed, and then she said with a sweet smile: "Then we should cooperate more, come and come." You can't leave on an empty stomach." Xu Huo waved his hand.
"You can do whatever you want, I'll leave as soon as I get the ticket."
