The breakfast was also Western-style.
The toast was roasted just right, with half-melted cheese and ham in the middle. The outer layer was charred and fragrant, and the middle was soft and tender. Coupled with a cup of warm fresh milk, it was just enough to wake up the drowsy morning.
Of course, only Shen Dongqing thought so.
The two people sitting opposite him didn't know what to eat and were worried.
Shen Dongqing took a bite of the poached egg and said in hindsight, "There's one person missing?"
The bearded man didn't appear today.
The checkered shirt man said, "I went to knock on the door to look for him. He said he wasn't feeling well and didn't want to come out."
He was fine when they met last night. It was impossible for him to be so sick that he couldn't go out after one night.
Unless the bearded man touched something he shouldn't have.
The bald middle-aged man frowned. "Did he leave the room at night?"
Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan looked at each other.
Not only did he leave the room.
This bearded elder brother even smashed the count into pieces.
The game's conditions for clearing the game were to kill the Earl or pass the harvest festival.
Last night, they had seen the Earl die with their own eyes. Logically speaking, they should have cleared the game by now.
But they didn't.
They were still in the castle.
Zhou Wenyan took a sip of milk and thought, unless the Earl wasn't killed so easily.
Creak –
The door of the hall was opened.
The housekeeper walked in and said to the players, "The Earl's health has improved a lot. He can attend the banquet tonight. Please prepare well."
Zhou Wenyan repeated her words. "Five?"
The housekeeper stared at him and said, "Yes."
Zhou Wenyan nodded. "Got it."
The housekeeper gave Zhou Wenyan a slightly stiff smile and slowly left the hall.
The checkered shirt man asked, "What do you know?"
Zhou Wenyan threw down the knife and fork in his hand. When it hit the porcelain plate, it made a crisp sound. He said lazily, "Five. It means that they already know that a 'lady' can't attend the banquet."
The faces of the checkered shirt man and the bald middle-aged man turned pale.
It seemed that the bearded man was doomed.
What scared them was not the death of their companions, but the fact that they did not know how their companions died.
Zhou Wenyan stood up, straightened his sleeves, and said casually, "I'll give you a suggestion. It's best if you refuse the Count's invitation tonight."
The count's castle had an enormous library.
There were enough books to fill an entire wall, from the corner to the roof, all kinds of books were densely packed.
Before afternoon tea, the guests were free to tour around the castle, so Shen Dongqing chose this place.
Because they could provide sweet and delicious biscuits and black tea.
