Chapter 751
A few days passed quickly.
The housekeeper of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion brought Xiao Zhan to the main hall again.
Marquis Zhenyuan was still sitting behind the big table, which was still piled with various papers, ancient books and bamboo slips.
As soon as Xiao Zhan came in, Marquis Zhenyuan raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhan with some surprise.
"How long have you been absorbing the energy of that Netherworld Pill?"
Xiao Zhan cupped his fists and said slowly:
"It took three days."
This is a lie. In fact, it only took Xiao Zhan a few seconds.
Sure enough, after hearing that it took Xiao Zhan three days to consume one Nether Pill, Marquis Zhenyuan's expression became much calmer.
He took down the bamboo slip marked "Nine" from the shelf behind him, opened it in front of him, dipped his pen in ink, and asked:
"Did you remember anything?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, "I remembered that in the world I live in, there are many different races."
"I also remembered that I seemed to have participated in a very cruel war."
Marquis Zhenyuan recorded everything Xiao Zhan said and then asked:
"You said there are many different races. What races are they?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "I can't remember the name."
Marquis Zhenyuan said "hmm" and when Xiao Zhan stopped talking, he frowned and asked:
"Lin Xiaoyu said, you also remembered a name called "Ye Wei". Who are you, Ye Wei? "
Xiao Zhan shook his head calmly.
"I don't know, I just vaguely feel that she is very important to me... Lord Marquis, have you heard of this name?"
Marquis Zhenyuan did not answer Xiao Zhan, but just wrote down the word "Ye Wei".
"Okay, get out."
Xiao Zhan, however, stood still and glanced at the wooden box on Marquis Zhenyuan's table.
If he remembered correctly, Marquis Zhenyuan took out a Nether Pill from this wooden box and gave it to him last time.
Seeing Xiao Zhan's eyes, a chill flashed across Zhenyuan Hou's eyes, and the pressure on him also fell on Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan felt a little uncomfortable under this pressure, but still did not move.
Marquis Zhenyuan snorted coldly, "In this Marquis Zhenyuan Mansion, what I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't take it."
Xiao Zhan nodded, turned around and prepared to walk out of the hall.
"Stop!" Marquis Zhenyuan suddenly picked up the wooden box, opened it, glanced at it, and asked with a chuckle:
"There are twenty Nether Pills in here. I'll give them to you. Do you dare to come and get them?"
As he spoke, the aura of Marquis Zhenyuan became stronger and stronger, and a sinister wind suddenly rose in the entire hall, with black energy constantly flowing around the hall.
Xiao Zhan walked towards Marquis Zhenyuan without any hesitation.
It's just that every time he gets closer to Zhenyuan Hou, he can feel a stronger sense of oppression. ap.
However, Xiao Zhan still did not stop. He came directly to the long table, cupped his hands towards Marquis Zhenyuan, and then grabbed the twenty Nether Pills in the wooden box.
Marquis Zhenyuan's face was gloomy, and his voice rang in Xiao Zhan's ears:
"You are so brave!"
Xiao Zhan looked into Marquis Zhenyuan's eyes, "The Marquis just said, if you don't give it, I can't take it."
"The Marquis also said to give me these twenty Netherworld Pills, so naturally I can't refuse."
"Unless the Marquis says he won't give it to me now, then I won't want it."
Marquis Zhenyuan stared into Xiao Zhan's eyes, was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly smiled.
"It's interesting."
"I will give these twenty Netherworld Pills to you, and I will not go back on my word."
"but!"
Although Marquis Zhenyuan's eyes were calm, he exuded endless majesty:
"Remember, no matter who you were before, how powerful you were, or how high your status was, that is already in the past."
"you
If you want to survive in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, you must remember the rules in the Marquis Mansion. "
"You can do whatever I ask you to do."
"I can reward you with more Nether Pills and stronger techniques."
"The premise is that you let me see your value and your loyalty."
"Correct your attitude."
After saying these few words, Marquis Zhenyuan picked up another roll of bamboo slips and said casually:
"Go out, I will summon you again if something happens."
Xiao Zhan nodded, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.
The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion was still waiting outside.
He looked at Xiao Zhan with a complicated look, showing both displeasure and jealousy.
But in the end, a smile appeared on his face. He waited for Xiao Zhan to leave the hall before he smiled and said:
"My name is Qin Kui. You can call me Butler Qin or Uncle Kui from now on."
Xiao Zhan glanced at Qin Kui with a dull expression, nodded and called "Steward Qin".
Not long after, Qin Kui took Xiao Zhan back to the small courtyard at the back of the Hou Mansion.
Before he left, he whispered to Xiao Zhan:
"The Marquis is a little interested in you now, but you have to remember what the Marquis said and correct your attitude so that you can live a long life."
After saying that, Qin Kui turned and left.
Lin Xiaoyu sat cross-legged in her stone house and looked at Xiao Zhan in surprise.
She heard what Qin Kui said.
After Xiao Zhan walked into Stone House No. 9, Lin Xiaoyu stood up, came to the door of Stone House No. 9, and said with a smile:
"Can I come in and sit down?"
Xiao Zhan sat down cross-legged and glanced at Lin Xiaoyu lightly:
"roll."
Lin Xiaoyu was stunned, "Did I make you unhappy?"
Xiao Zhan said coldly:
"roll."
Lin Xiaoyu glared at Xiao Zhan, "Don't think that the Marquis really likes you!"
"Maybe the Marquis will lose his temper one day and slap you to death! Why are you so arrogant?"
Xiao Zhan said nothing.
He originally thought Lin Xiaoyu was a friendly person, so he asked her about the word "Ye Wei".
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoyu told Zhenyuan Hou about this matter.
This shows that Lin Xiaoyu is not worthy of trust or making friends.
Xiao Zhan held his breath and concentrated, took out the twenty Nether Pills, and began to absorb the energy in the Nether Pills.
In just a few minutes, all twenty Nether Pills were consumed by Xiao Zhan and turned into energyless powder.
Feeling the power of the netherworld in his body like a trickle, Xiao Zhan frowned subconsciously.
Judging from this situation, it would take at least tens of thousands of Nether Pills to make the Nether Power in his body reach a sufficient state.
Moreover, Xiao Zhan lowered his head and looked at the dense wounds on his body. Although he had begun to recover slowly, the recovery speed was very slow.
And the only way he can obtain the Nether Pill now is to ask for it from Zhenyuan Marquis.
But according to Marquis Zhenyuan, it is obvious that in order to obtain the Nether Pill from him, one needs to prove one's worth first.
The first thing is to recall more memories.
But Xiao Zhan was very repelled by this matter.
No matter what the purpose of Marquis Zhenyuan was, Xiao Zhan would not tell everything he remembered.
He just picked some irrelevant ones and told them to Marquis Zhenyuan.
As early as the last time he absorbed the Netherworld Pill, he remembered more things.
For example, his name is Xiao Zhan.
For example, Ye Wei is his wife.
For example, he also has two children, one named Xiao Yao and the other named Xiao Tianxia.
I haven't thought of the others yet.
Xiao Zhan knew that he would stay in Zhenyuan Hou Mansion for a long time.
Afterwards, Marquis Zhenyuan summoned Xiao Zhan more than a dozen times.
Lin Xiaoyu in Stone House No. 8 was also summoned nine times. The young man in Stone House No. 7 and the old man in Stone House No. 6 were also summoned once each.
It's just that the old man didn't come back. I heard he was dead.
The young man was unconscious when he was sent back. He was lying dying in Stone House No. 7. He looked like he was about to die.
Xiao Zhan could probably guess a little bit of Zhenyuan Hou's purpose.
Judging from the questions asked by Marquis Zhenyuan, it seemed that he wanted to find out from Xiao Zhan's memory what kind of world Xiao Zhan lived before.
Just like before, Xiao Zhan was also curious about what the Netherworld interface was like.
Xiao Zhan can no longer remember how long he stayed in Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
He only knew that since Marquis Zhenyuan gave her twenty Nether Pills, he had never received another Nether Pill.
He spent almost all his time absorbing the power of the netherworld.
Lin Xiaoyu also tried to build a good relationship with Xiao Zhan.
Because she had realized that Xiao Zhan might be able to survive and be recognized by Marquis Zhenyuan.
And she, Lin Xiaoyu, may not have that chance.
Qin Kui came to the small courtyard again and said to Xiao Zhan:
"Let's go, the Marquis summons you."
Xiao Zhan stood up and followed Qin Kui out of the small courtyard.
Only this time, Qin Kui didn't take Xiao Zhan to the hall.
Xiao Zhan asked curiously:
"Steward Qin, where are you going?"
Qin Kui smiled mysteriously, "You will know when you get to the place."
A moment later, Xiao Zhan followed Qin Kui out of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.
Xiao Zhan was full of doubts.
He has been in Zhenyuan Hou Mansion for so long, and this is the first time he has come out.
The sky was still gloomy and the surroundings were dead silent.
Not long after, Qin Kui took Xiao Zhan to a street market.
This street market is not noisy.
On both sides of the street, which was less than three meters wide, people wearing rags sat.
In front of them, there were all kinds of messy things.
For example, it looks like an orchid, but even its leaves and flowers are gray.
Another example is a little snake that is as black as ink but has no eyes.
There were also some clothes that looked relatively clean.
Butler Qin led Xiao Zhan through the market and said:
"These refugees are very common. Their ancestors were able to practice, and they might even have been servants in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
