Lin Haoming did take the elixir. Although he could control his body and get the elixir stuck in his throat before spitting it out, Lin Haoming was worried that what the other party said was false. The elixir actually had other effects, so he had to let the elixir
Really make a difference.
Of course, Lin Haoming knew better that the other party could not kill him, because in their eyes, he was meat on the chopping board and could be chopped off at any time.
So, Lin Haoming fell into waiting again, and the housekeeper seemed to have become the owner of the manor. The only thing he had to do was to keep an eye on himself, and until now, apart from knowing that his surname was Xu, Lin Haoming didn't know about this housekeeper.
What's the name?
Although he was under house arrest, after meeting the third prince, Lin Haoming felt a little more free. Of course, this freedom was relative. He could move anywhere in the manor, and even read all the books in a library in the manor at will.
books.
Since he had nothing to do, Lin Haoming simply locked himself in the library. After all, he knew too little about the world, so he couldn't miss such an opportunity.
The collection of books in the library is very rich, but there are no books related to Xuanli. Even if they are related, they are only mentioned in some medical books.
Although Lin Haoming's physical body was restricted, his mental power was still strong and he still had a photographic memory of reading. Therefore, although there were many books here, he had basically memorized some of the books that Lin Haoming compiled that had some value.
For Lin Haoming, the most important thing is the books that introduce the geography of this continent. In one of the miscellaneous notes, Lin Haoming learned that in addition to Zhongtu and Linnan, there are also Northern Icefields and the East China Sea.
and islands in the South China Sea, as well as the Death Desert, which is even more called a forbidden land than the Blood Moon Forest.
The reason why this Desert of Death is a more terrifying forbidden land than the Blood Moon Forest is simply because there is no life in this desert. There may be some oases near the Middle Earth, but the deeper you go into the desert, it is really a death zone, and
There is still no clear record of how big this desert of death is, but someone sailed a boat out to sea and kept walking in one direction. After finally seeing land, they found that they were actually boarding the desert of death. Although such rumors are very bizarre, but
Indeed, more than one person has had this experience, as if the end of the sea is the desert of death.
If the Desert of Death is excluded first, Lin Haoming found something that puzzled him, that is, the known world is too small.
Just like when Lin Haoming compared the ten layers with one-tenth the size of a state in the Demon Realm to a person, if the Chu State was a hair, the five Linnan kingdoms would only have a few hairs at most, and the three major kingdoms of Middle-earth combined,
It's not bigger than a fingernail. Adding the Blood Moon Forest, the Northern Icefields and the known sea areas, it's at most the size of a finger. And this is already an overestimation, and it's actually much smaller.
.
If this world is really one-tenth the size of a state in the Demon Realm, then the size of this desert of death is unbelievable.
Lin Haoming thought of a possibility. Perhaps the Great Desert of Death is the main body of this world. Whether it is Middle Earth, Linnan, or even the East China Sea and the South China Sea, it is simply a huge oasis in the desert. Even the entire world is more than
An oasis, and this so-called super oasis is just an ordinary one among them.
Although this idea was bizarre, Lin Haoming had the urge to prove it, and he vaguely felt that if he could travel through this world or reveal the truth about the Desert of Death, then he might be able to find a way to leave the tenth floor.
, the way to enter the eleventh floor.
Not long after having this idea, good news came. The third prince kept his promise, and a month later the Bawang Xuan Qigong was delivered to Lin Haoming.
The butler, the current owner of the village, brought the exercises in person. The time when he brought them was just after dinner, and there was a girl beside him. While handing the exercises to Lin Haoming, he pointed at the girl.
He said: "Mr. Dian, this is Miss Qingqing. She will be your personal maid from now on. Your Highness knows that the young master has lost his true love, so he tried his best to make up for it."
Lin Haoming looked at the girl named Qingqing. She was sixteen or seventeen years old and very delicate, but her eyes were also very cold. Lin Haoming instantly understood the role of this woman.
"Uncle Tuo, thank Your Highness for me!" Lin Haoming knew that he could not refuse, so he agreed directly.
"Well, Qingqing, please serve Mr. Dian well!" The housekeeper said this and then left.
After he left, Lin Haoming looked at the girl and asked very directly: "Did His Highness or Xu Nuo send you here? What is your identity?"
"There is no difference. As for identity, my father is Yan Li!" The girl seemed to have no intention of hiding anything and told Lin Haoming directly.
Lin Haoming has also read a lot of books in the library these days, especially about the hundreds of years of history of the founding of Chu State. Yan Li can be said to be the biological brother of the current king Yan Lie, but this biological brother has no status.
None, because he was born to the concubine of the emperor's brother who was forced to death by the late emperor after he succeeded in seizing the throne. Fortunately, he was only a concubine, otherwise he would have been killed directly after getting pregnant. But even so,
Yan Li's status was also extremely low, but Yan Li seemed to know his identity, so he never got involved in government affairs. The only thing he did was to find women, have children, and get married at the age of sixteen. When the late emperor passed away at the age of thirty, he actually had
He gave birth to more than forty children. It was a pity that the late emperor could still live a peaceful life when he was alive. After his death, so many of Yan Li's children suffered hardships. The adult men were specially sent to the border, and those women were almost all brought
He couldn't even save his own child after using it, and Yan Li was pissed to death a year ago.
"Are you an illegitimate daughter?" Lin Haoming asked.
"How do you know?" Qingqing was a little surprised. After all, before she came, someone had already told her who she was going to serve.
"Because if you are not an illegitimate daughter, even if you are the daughter of Yan Li, you will not be able to be a maid by my side. The royal family still needs the face." Lin Haoming said.
Faced with Lin Haoming's words, Qingqing just remained silent.
Lin Haoming knew why she was silent, and he didn't want to say anything more. Just to avoid future trouble, he explained: "I won't do anything extraordinary, and I won't ask you to do anything. Since you are here, then
Just be an ordinary maid. Whatever I do every day, if you need to report it, report it truthfully!"
"No!" Qingqing refused without even thinking about it.
Lin Haoming asked himself that this was a very frank statement, but Qingqing just refused. "Why?" Lin Haoming asked strangely.
"Because I have to go to bed today!" Qingqing said through gritted teeth.
