Although the Bebusis family received Jia Zhengjin and the others very politely, they seemed not to be that anxious about finding the family heirloom, which is a bit puzzling.
After having a full meal and wine, Olivia came to Jia Zhengjin's side after checking into the adjacent room cleaned by the maid. After making sure that there were no outsiders, she lowered her voice: "Lord Keen, don't you think it's a little strange? It's obvious that Beisis
The family is willing to pay for a magical item of legendary quality in the hope that someone can help find the family heirloom. But after we came here, the other party didn’t seem to be worried at all?"
"It's indeed a bit strange." Jia Zhengjin felt the same way, and thought for a moment, "Maybe it's because there are many people coming to take over the task, but none of them succeeded, so I think it's useless to rush? Or do you think you've given up a little bit?"
"I can't figure it out."
"Don't think about it if you don't understand. Anyway, we just have a night's rest. It's very cool here, as if it's air-conditioned. I can have a good sleep tonight." Jia Zhengjin stretched out and lay on the bed, looking sideways at her.
, "Go to bed early!"
"Well!" Olivia was still puzzled, but when Jia Zhengjin said this, she stopped thinking about it and immediately returned to the next room.
Chou Chou and Olivia were resting in the next room. Jia Zhengjin was also a little sleepy after eating. Although it was quite early, it was like a stove outside, not as comfortable as inside, and he was not in the mood to go shopping and watch the night view, so he might as well just sleep.
Last night's sleep. Go to bed early and get up early. Good health!
After lying there for a while, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Who is it?" Jia Zhengjin sat up without falling asleep.
"Sir, we were ordered to bring some fresh fruit..." The maid's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
The door was gently pushed open, and seven or eight maids lined up and walked in. Each of them held a clean silver plate in their hands and placed the plates on the table in the middle of the room one after another.
There were metal lids on these silver plates. After placing them and moving them away, it turned out that there were all kinds of fresh fruits that had just been washed, although Jia Zhengjin couldn't even name them.
"This is for you to enjoy." The leading maid bowed her head and said respectfully, then waved her hands and the other maids left the room.
Jia Zhengjin got out of bed and came to the table and picked up a fiery red fruit.
I took a bite and it tasted okay.
"Your companions have also been sent over there. If you need anything, you can always ask us. We are right outside."
"Okay!" The other party's courtesy was quite good, and Jia Zhengjin was quite satisfied.
"Then, I won't disturb your rest..." The maid raised her head, glanced at Jia Zhengjin secretly, and then exited the room.
After eating the fruit, I went back to bed and fell asleep as soon as I lay down this time.
Until the moonlight shone in outside the window and the whole castle became quiet, Jia Zhengjin was sleeping comfortably when the door of the room was suddenly pushed open gently.
Although he is sleeping, he can be easily awakened. Especially when he is in an unfamiliar place, he is even more alert.
The slightest movement made him open his eyes instantly.
After the door opened, a petite figure came in and approached lightly.
It was already late at night, the lights in the house were out, and it was pitch black.
However, Jia Zhengjin had night vision skills, and he immediately recognized the person who broke into the room as one of the maids who delivered fruit before.
He was a little confused, wondering if the Bebusis family still had such special services?
Just as I was thinking about it, the maid came to the bedside.
Her expression was quite nervous, and she kept looking back. Then she bent down and approached Jia Zhengjin, who continued to pretend to be asleep in the dark.
Jia Zhengjin made no moves and deliberately kept silent.
When she bent down close to her face, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the other person's hands that were on the bed. He stood up and pushed her to the bedside. He didn't say a word, but just looked down from above.
The maid was startled. She couldn't see Jia Zhengjin's expression clearly in the darkness, and her body trembled slightly: "It's me!"
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin was stunned. He looked at the maid carefully and wondered whether she knew the original owner of his body?
While she was doubting, the maid spoke in a low voice: "I'm not a thief, guest! Don't you remember the one who delivered the fruit just now? Yes, you probably can't see clearly, right? Don't light the lamp, I'll leave after just saying a word
.Can you let me go first?"
Hearing this tone, it doesn't sound like he knows himself.
"Isn't it special room service?" Jia Zhengjin let go of his hand and asked.
The maid probably didn't understand and didn't know what special room service was.
As soon as Jia Zhengjin let go, she gained the initiative, stood up quickly, took a step back, quickly arranged her clothes, and nervously looked back outside: "Guests, please leave quickly!"
What's going on? Jia Zhengjin was a little confused, why did he say this so carelessly?
After the maid said this, she looked back nervously: "It's time for me to go!"
"Hey~" Jia Zhengjin reached out and grabbed her, "Why did you leave? You came to my room sneakily in the middle of the night just to tell me that we should leave quickly? Where are you going?"
"No matter where you go, get out of here quickly!" the maid said nervously, "I can only say this, please let me go!"
"No! You can't leave until you make it clear!" Jia Zhengjin held her wrist tightly.
"Guest, please let me go!" the maid became a little anxious, "If someone finds me here, I will be in trouble!"
"Then tell me clearly what you mean by letting us go?"
"I can't say," the maid shook her head in panic, "I can only tell you that everyone who came here before is dead!"
"I know, otherwise the task wouldn't be so difficult!" Jia Zhengjin nodded calmly.
"No..." The maid hesitated to speak. Suddenly she heard footsteps outside and hurriedly begged, "Guest, someone is coming! I must return to my post quickly. If I am discovered, I will be in trouble! Hurry up.
Let go!"
Jia Zhengjin saw that she was really anxious. Although he was confused and confused, he still let go of his hand.
The maid nodded to him, turned around and left the room quickly without making any sound.
After she left, Jia Zhengjin couldn't sleep.
What do you mean? Something doesn’t feel right!
After thinking about it, I decided to find out what happened to this maid.
Immediately she came out of the room and saw her standing in the corridor with a panic look on her face, being interrogated by patrolling soldiers.
The soldier had a cold expression, while the maid was quite flustered, shaking her head as she answered.
After a while, several soldiers suddenly grabbed her and dragged her outside. This scene was even more puzzling.
Jia Zhengjin frowned and looked at it, it was hard to understand. He thought about it carefully, took out his invisibility cloak, put it on, and followed him secretly.
The maid's face was full of fear and regret, and she was forcibly dragged to the backyard by several soldiers.
Jia Zhengjin followed her into the courtyard and saw that she kept begging for mercy. However, the soldiers were unmoved. They dragged her to a corner and pressed her to the ground. They pulled out a sharp sword and prepared to behead her.
More questions filled Jia Zhengjin's mind, and he didn't care about so many things at the moment. He hurried over to save people by virtue of his invisibility. This maid might be able to tell him something. (To be continued)
