Ouyang Jie was playing with a thick poker card, which was the Ace of Spades.
This was something he would do when he was bored … It was already past three o 'clock in the afternoon, and it was now 3.07, but Tu Shenyi still hadn't arrived.
The sound of the door opening came at this time. Ouyang Jie stood up at once, "Mas … Uncle Jin."
It was Uncle Jin, not Tu Shenyi. Ouyang Jie sat down helplessly. Uncle Jin came in with a kind smile, "What's wrong? You don't like to see me?"
Ouyang Jie shook his head, "How can it be?"
He remembered what happened after he was adopted and said with emotion, "Although Master adopted me, he usually didn't see anyone except for teaching me. Otherwise, he would study his vineyard. Uncle Jin, on the other hand, has been taking care of me. "
Ouyang Jie looked at Uncle Jin and said sincerely, "I don't know who my biological parents are, but I don't feel unfortunate. Because I have two fathers later. One is my master. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. Master gave me a new life and made me. The other is you, Uncle Jin. You are like a father to me. You accompanied me when I grew up. "
"Isn't it a waste to use the ability to coax women on me?" Uncle Jin shook his head and walked to the wine cabinet in the study. He picked up a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, and walked over. "If you're not in a hurry, chat with me. Your master will be here in a while."
Ouyang Jie didn't suspect anything. He smiled and took the red wine glass from Uncle Jin. They clinked their glasses and then took a sip.
Ouyang Jie sighed, "Master's red wine is still the best."
Uncle Jin suddenly said at this time, "Ajay, you specially brought Miss Zhong today. Is there any other meaning?"
Ajay smiled and said, "What meaning can there be? She's my boss now. She wants to see Master and has given a strict order. It's not good for me to not bring her here, right? "
Uncle Jin shook his head slightly. "You won last year's competition. With your achievements, even if you don't work for the Zhong family, all the powerful casinos in the world will fight for you. No one can force you to do something you don't like. You said that I've watched you grow up, and I'm like half a father to you … What's wrong? Even I can't tell the truth? "
Ouyang Jie sighed and put down the wine glass. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "Zhong Luoyue is a very special woman. After seeing her for the first time, I was sure of a few things. Uncle Jin, do you know? It's the feeling of wanting to get something, but not being able to bear to hurt it, and even respecting it. "
Uncle Jin said indifferently, "Zhong Luoyue is a member of an aristocratic family. The Zhong Family can use you because of your talent, but it doesn't mean that the Zhong Family is willing to accept you as a real member. "
Ouyang Jie was silent for a moment, and then said seriously, "Even if I can reach Master's level, I still don't have a chance?"
Uncle Jin shook his head and said, "No one can reach your Master's level. Whether it's you or me. "
Ouyang Jie couldn't help but feel dejected. He smiled bitterly and said, "An hour ago, Zhong Luoyue asked my Master who would win if she and I had a bet now. To be honest, I didn't have any confidence at that time. On the contrary, Master was calm and composed … To be honest, you're right. I can't reach Master's level now. "
Uncle Jin didn't comment. Ouyang Jie drank another mouthful of wine to drown his sorrows.
"Don't think too much about the future." Uncle Jin comforted Ouyang Jie. "Although she's a woman at the top of an aristocratic family, it's not like you can't reach her …"
"Thank you, Uncle Jin. You're the only one who's good to me …"
Ouyang Jie yawned, seeming to be a little tired. He slowly lay on the table, narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Master … why isn't he here yet? He looks at me … very cold, very cold … cold …"
Ouyang Jie completely closed his eyes.
Uncle Jin reached out and patted Ouyang Jie's shoulder, saying softly, "Have a good sleep … I'll help you fulfill your wish. Even the top of an aristocratic family can't resist the power of an Extraordinary. One day, I'll become an Extraordinary, and then … "
…
…
In front of a quiet stone room, Tu Shenyi held a brand new white candle in his hand.
Behind him were Long Ze, Elizabeth, and the others. After the stone room opened, Tu Shenyi didn't enter immediately. Instead, he let the others enter first.
The door was still open because there were still some people who hadn't arrived yet.
The interior of the stone room wasn't simple at all. It could even be said to be extremely luxurious, just like a dormitory in Midworld. However, it was unusually dark. Only the candle in Tu Shenyi's hand illuminated a small area.
In front of a huge round table, there were seven huge chairs. Tu Shenyi put down the candle and took the lead to sit in front of one of the chairs. The others also sat in the other chairs.
Tu Shenyi looked around, then pressed his hand on the table in front of him. With a light press, a piece of the table was pressed down. It seemed to be a mechanism … At this time, the center of the table began to open. The opened mechanism slowly pushed out a long and narrow crystal bottle.
Seeing the appearance of the crystal bottle, Lady Eve suddenly closed her folding fan, sat up straight, and whispered, "Forget River."
At this moment, Tu Shenyi made an inviting gesture.
Elizabeth nodded, and Amonst, who was standing beside her, took the wooden box from her hand. After opening it, they took out a bottle of red wine that was less than half full.
It was a very ordinary glass bottle, but Amonst carefully placed it in front of Elizabeth. "Red Spider Lily."
Lady Eve also opened the exquisite wooden box she brought and took out the crystal bottle inside. The style was different from Tu Shenyi's bottle. She whispered, "97."
Next was Long Ze. He opened his bag and took out a cylindrical transparent container. Mr. Long Ze grabbed the container and waved it in front of the others. After chuckling, he placed it in front of himself. "No choice."
The Daylily series, Tu Shenyi brewed a total of seven bottles. Including the 'Daylily, Forget River' placed in the middle of the table, there were already six bottles that were known to everyone. As for the last bottle, no one here except Tu Shenyi had seen it before.
"Then, only Yellow Spring and Three Lives are left." Lady Eve smiled.
"Looks like I'm not late." The person who came late said with a frivolous smile … It was Hitasir.
But he came empty-handed, which quickly attracted a few gazes.
Hitasir pulled out a chair and sat down. "Don't be nervous, I won't break the rules … Here it is."
He drew something on the table with his finger. As his finger moved, dark red lines began to appear on the table. Finally, all the lines formed a complete pattern.
Not long after, from this pattern, a ball-like creature began to jump out. It looked similar to the messenger, a furry yellow creature. Unlike the messenger, this creature had huge eyes and a big mouth.
This yellow ball opened its mouth, revealing dense and sharp teeth … It was spitting out something.
"Yellow Spring." Hitasir held the object spat out by the ball in his hand. It was a goblet that seemed to be made of gold, but the mouth of the goblet had been sealed.
However, the yellow ball spat out something else at this moment. This time, it spat out a box. Hitasir opened the box, which contained a diamond-shaped ruby-like crystal. Hitasir said again, "And the last Three Lives."
"It's really Three Lives …" Long Ze and Lady Eve frowned at the same time. "Why is it in your hands?"
Hitasir shrugged and said, "This was sent to me by that woman and asked me to bring it here. As for why she didn't come, I don't know."
Long Ze and the others looked at each other, then looked at Tu Shenyi. Lady Eve smiled and said, "No wonder you said it doesn't matter if she comes or not. It seems that you already knew that Three Lives is in Hitasir's hands?"
Tu Shenyi said indifferently, "I had a correspondence with Hitasir before."
Hitasir nodded at this time, proving that Tu Shenyi was not lying.
Long Ze had a playful smile at this time. "It's fine if she didn't come on the previous hunting days, but she didn't come today … Tu Shenyi, it seems that she really doesn't like you. Even if she gave you The Embrace … "
Tu Shenyi ignored Long Ze's words and just said indifferently, "Since you've all brought it here, I'll go get ready."
Tu Shenyi waved his hand, and the various containers placed in front of everyone began to move to the center of the table, then slowly descended and finally disappeared.
"Start your program." As Tu Shenyi spoke, his figure hid in the darkness. In the end, there was no movement, presumably he had disappeared.
Hitasir was the first to stand up at this time. "I already have someone I like, you guys take it easy."
Long Ze and Lady Eve also got up at this time. Only Y 'lisabet was still sitting in her original place and did not get up.
Y 'lisabet said timidly, "I … I'll just wait here."
Long Ze just whistled and chuckled. "My dear Y 'lisabet, I hope you can get through it this time … Why don't you enjoy this wonderful food with us? After you try it once, you'll feel foolish for persisting. "
Y 'lisabet just lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, feeling slightly uneasy. At this time, Amund gently pressed Y 'lisabet's shoulder, then glanced at Long Ze and said indifferently, "Get lost."
Longze shrugged, but he left a step faster than Hitasill. Lady Eve followed behind. After that, Hitasir glanced at Y 'lisabet and Amund, smiled, then took out a small bottle and threw it at Amund.
"What's this?" Amund frowned.
Hitasir said indifferently, "The Magician Association's new product this year, a kind of medicine to replenish physical strength. But you'll be very tired after taking it. Mr. Amund, it's up to you. "
Amund was silent for a while before nodding. "Thank you."
Hitasir said casually, "You're welcome. I'm a Dark Merchant. One more friend and one more favor is not a bad thing for me. "
Y 'lisabet looked at Hitasir gratefully and said softly, "May the glory of the True Ancestor be with you, Mr. Hitasir."
When everyone left and only Y 'lisabet and Amund were left, Y' lisabet suddenly took a deep breath and pressed her hands on her chest, looking slightly nervous.
Amund patted her shoulder gently. "Has it started?"
Y 'lisabet shook her head. "Not yet … I'm just a little nervous. Grandpa, if … "
She looked up and said seriously, "If there's an accident, I … I hope you won't be merciful to me."
"I won't let anything happen to you." Amund held the long black umbrella tightly. "I promised your mother, Rose, that I won't let you get lost … Y 'lisabet."
…
…
Because he was the last to enter the passage to the cellar, when Luoqiu walked down the long stairs, he could not see the guests in front of him.
He could only vaguely hear the voices coming from the front.
This so-called cellar seemed to be much more complicated than he imagined.
After coming down, he realized how huge it was.
There were candlesticks hanging on both sides of the wall, which seemed to be used to guide the guests … but Luoqiu was a curious person, so he would take a few glances at the unlit passages.
"There's nothing there."
At this time, Hitasir's voice came from the front. He appeared out of nowhere and was leaning against the wall. He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
"This place doesn't seem to be as simple as a cellar." Luoqiu asked casually.
At this time, Citasil slowly walked over. "This cellar was built by Baron Fernandes. The area is much larger than the castle on the ground. It was originally built for hiding. Hiding the soldiers here is the last resort to deal with the enemy. But interestingly, this place was built like a maze, but before Baron Fernandes was hanged, it was never used even once. "
Luoqiu nodded and looked at a dark mark in the corner. Under the illumination of the candlelight, the mark showed a dark brown color … it was probably blood. "And now, it has become your hunting ground?"
"It seems that you're the only one who came down?" Hitasir suddenly asked.
Luoqiu just nodded. "Is there a problem?"
"Not really." Hitasir smiled and said, "As long as you feel that there is no problem, I believe you should have arranged it."
Luoqiu returned the remaining three rings to Hitasir.
Hitasir reached out and took them back. Then, he looked at the butterfly on Luoqiu's shoulder that was docilely resting and spreading its wings. He asked curiously, "Radiant Goddess, a good breed. Where did it come from?"
Luoqiu glanced sideways and said, "It should have flown in from outside. This little guy is quite interesting. After landing on me, it didn't leave."
Hitasir stroked his chin and said, "I heard that butterflies are like spirits. Every butterfly carries the thoughts of the dead. I don't know if this one has them or not. "
After saying that, Hitasir reached out to touch the Radiant Goddess flash butterfly. Unexpectedly, it flew away from Luoqiu's shoulder and flew into the dim passage.
Hitasir said with a regretful expression, "It seems it doesn't like me at all … I'm sorry, I scared your little pet away."
Luoqiu smiled and said, "If fate wills it, we'll meet again."
