Rose Mansion is a building with a cross-shaped structure, which directly corresponds to the shape of a cross... the road is still easy to walk.
"This is the room where one of the victims stayed." In front of a locked door, Clary said with a hint of hesitation: "Sir, the most I can do is take you here. The lock outside the room is
The boss locked it himself, and only the boss has to lock it. The other rooms are the same."
Luo Qiu asked: "Did you get locked up by the owner of the mansion after the accident?"
Clary said: "Since the boss from the Public Security Department came to investigate and finally asked us to close down the business for rectification, the boss has locked these rooms."
"They happen to be the four corners of the cross." Boss Luo suddenly said.
Clary was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing.
This gentleman was looking at a landscape photo of Rose Mansion hanging in the corridor, taken from directly above, "Yes... the old man from the Public Security Department also discovered it at that time. This time the gods registered the missing residence.
There happened to be four guests, and the room they stayed in happened to be in the four corners of the mansion. That’s why the man from the Sheriff’s Department said it was something strange, but he couldn’t find anything specific.”
Boss Luo nodded and immediately looked at the maid, "What do you think?"
The maid shook her head and said, "If you just look at it from outside the door, there's nothing special about it."
Saying this, the maid suddenly looked at Clary and said, "Do you still have the information or contact information of the victims on hand?"
Clary asked doubtfully and with a hint of vigilance: "Miss, what... do you want to do?"
The maid said calmly: "I'm just curious. Although the atmosphere in the Free City is more open than the other seven cities, there has never been a drop in the level of the gods... At least, it may be possible to learn from the victims.
I learned some specific situations.”
"We can't leak the information of the residents casually." Clary shook her head and said: "Besides, the investigation should be left to the gentlemen at the Public Security Department... Sir, Miss, the boss of these rooms has said, try not to
If people come close to you, you should leave with me as soon as possible. Or...or I will arrange other rooms for you to stay in now. As for the issues of food and electricity..."
Miss Clary, the maid, looked like she was going to sacrifice something. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will find a way to solve it!"
Boss Luo said calmly at this time: "Our companion is back, you should eat something first, don't force yourself."
When climbing the stairs, the hungry and weak Clary almost held on to the wall.
…
"At the beginning, take a small sip first and wait for about ten minutes. If your stomach can adapt, then consider eating more." Boss Luo directly opened a bottle of milk for Claire, "You need a buffer.
time."
I know the truth, but my body is more honest.
Clary drank half the bottle without ceremony, and there were still traces of the pale white liquid on her lips... which was the small round mark on the mouth of the bottle.
She took a deep breath, showing a satisfied look, then picked up a piece of freshly baked bread, tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth.
"I'm alive." Clary breathed out slowly, "I really don't know how to thank you... I was supposed to be the one entertaining you as guests, but in the end I had to prepare food for me as guests.
"
"Don't worry about it." Nan Xiaonan said as if she wanted to talk to death directly: "Even if I see a stray cat that is about to starve to death on the road, I will feed it."
The maid in the mansion could only look around awkwardly and said to him, "I... I'll go get you some water. There's still boiled water."
"By the way, we've been here for a while, and it seems we haven't met the owner of this mansion yet. Isn't your boss here today?" Boss Luo said with a slight smile at this time.
Clary said: "The boss went to the pier today to see if he could catch some fish... The boss has been trying to fish these past few days."
Nan Xiaonan frowned at this time and said: "Can't you pray to generate will power? Even if it doesn't work, you can also use your wish power to buy some supplies... You won't starve yourself like this, right?"
Clary, who was pouring water, suddenly froze. She even lost her grip on the teapot and fell to the ground. She quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm going to get some cleaning tools."
…
…
Seeing the maid walking out quickly, Nan Xiaonan shook her head.
She then lowered her voice and looked at Boss Luo and the maid and said: "Boss, when I just went out to buy bread, I asked about the Rose Mansion. I probably know the reason why there is no business here."
"Miss Clary has also told us." Boss Luo said casually.
"Huh?" Nan Xiaonan was startled, and said subconsciously: "She...how could she say that? Boss, did you deliberately ask me to buy food, wasn't it to inquire about this matter?"
"Why do you need to go outside to inquire?" Boss Luo asked curiously: "Isn't it supposed that the person involved knows the center of the incident better than outsiders?"
"That's right..." Nan Xiaonan rubbed a strand of bangs on her forehead and said, "But considering that the person involved will not tell the truth, the information that can be collected from the outside may be more objective...
Of course, we have to rule out some untrue conjectures. Oh...Boss, I didn’t mean such a bad thing."
The maid's smiling gaze came... Nan Xiaonan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"The direction you are considering is not wrong." Boss Luo shook his head and said: "But I don't mean to ask you to inquire... It's just that you can have your own ideas, which is a good thing after all."
Nan Xiaonan was in a mess.
I heard what the boss said because he wanted to be an employee with his own ideas.
But the maid seems to want to just be an obedient child?
I have just joined the job, and I have to be sandwiched between my boss and my future boss’s wife. I am being attacked from both sides. It’s so difficult...
"By the way, I also discovered something." Nan Xiaonan had no choice but to change the topic at this time and talked about her doubts when checking out at the bakery.
"The thing you are wondering about is called the Destiny System." The maid said calmly: "It is a system that will appear when the residents of the Kingdom of Holy Light are born. It records all the growth information of each person, which is equivalent to a
A personal terminal built into the human body.”
"Something like the game's [My Interface]?" Nan Xiaonan said slightly surprised.
"It can be understood this way." The maid lady nodded: "But only you can see your destiny, and outsiders cannot tell it through ordinary methods."
Nan Xiaonan subconsciously asked: "Are there any people from the Kingdom of Holy Light who did not have the Destiny System when they were born?"
"Of course." The maid said casually: "That's the maid of this mansion... In addition, if a person does not have a destiny, there is no way to obtain the power of a wish through prayer."
"No wonder she was so panicked just now..." Nan Xiaonan nodded thoughtfully: "Since you can't obtain the power of wish through prayer, then it can be explained that Clary is like this because of hunger... Huh? That's it.
Come on, is the owner of this mansion also a guy without destiny?"
The maid said at this time: "In the Kingdom of Holy Light, once a person is found to have no destiny, he will be defined as a [blasphemer]. This is a very serious sin with almost no possibility of forgiveness... Even in
In the relatively open City of Freedom, [blasphemers] will also be sent to the stake."
So the laws of this free city really like human meat skewers...
"Eh? That's not right?" Nan Xiaonan said in shock at this time: "If the owner of the mansion and Clary are both people without destiny, then by what means did they settle accounts with customers in the past... Oh, by the way, this
Grow crystal cards?”
"Crystal cards are something that can only be made by more advanced petitioners." The maid suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know how this kind of crystal card is made?"
Nan Xiaonan shook his head.
The maid smiled and said: "When a petitioner dies, his destiny will condense in an instant and turn into a similar crystal card. And those wishes that have not yet been used will be stored in the crystal card.
If... others can use this part of the remaining will power through the crystal card."
"In this way, as long as you have a crystal card or something..." Nan Xiaonan thought for a while and said: "As long as you are careful not to expose it, you can still hide your lack of destiny. But this method is not suitable for long-term stay in a place.
Where to use it? Let’s not talk about whether this kind of crystal card is in large circulation. If a person only uses the wish crystal card for settlement for a long time, as long as he pays a little attention, it may not be difficult to find out that the other party is a [blasphemer]
】Is this true? This mansion seems to have been open for a long time... How could the people from the Public Security Bureau not notice it all this time? Could it be that there are some unknown secrets behind this mansion? "
The mansion's maid, Clary, came back with a rag and a bucket... Nan Xiaonan had to stop talking.
At this moment, a crisp ringing sound sounded in front of the lobby door of Qiangwei Mansion... A young man with long brown hair and wearing a blue and white dress slowly walked in.
The young man saw Clary for the first time and said directly: "Is Mr. Assachs here? The principal of the campus wants to attend the saint's private dinner, so he sent me here to ask for a bouquet of white roses."
"Mr. Livar!" Clary screamed at this time... It was a sound of surprise as if she had been saved, "Boss, he went to the dock and hasn't come back yet!"
…
…
A young man named Livar later discovered that there was someone else in the lobby of the mansion... He frowned slightly, looked at it, and then looked at Clary and said, "Is this today's guest?"
At this time, Clary quickly walked to Livar, pulled him aside, and whispered: "It's a visitor from out of town who saw the travel guide... and doesn't know much about the mansion."
"Although the mansion already has the approval to reopen, you should tell them the truth." Livar said calmly: "Deliberate concealment is also deception. I am not from the Holy City Sheriff's Department, so I have no right to enforce the law against you... But as a
Citizens of the Holy City, I have an obligation to report your lying behavior, even if you are a servant of Rose Mansion, there is no exception."
"No, Mr. Lival." Clary said anxiously and startledly: "I have already told them what happened recently... It's just that these guests seemed very interested, so they decided to stay.
I really didn’t hide anything on purpose, so please don’t report me.”
Young Livar said calmly: "The banquet in the evening is quite busy, and I have to send things back to the college. You go and prepare the white rose for me first."
As he said that, the young man took out a purple card from his clothes and said, "This is the cost of the rose flower, as usual."
Clary quickly put away the purple cards, her expression seemed to be much more relaxed, "Mr. Livar, please wait a moment, I will prepare something for you right away."
"Go." Livar said calmly: "No need to greet me, I will just stay by myself for a while."
Clary went out again.
Nan Xiaonan still noticed what the young man named Livar quietly took out... The purple card was not a crystal card?
At this moment, the maid's voice suddenly rang out, "The saint's private dinner, I don't know who will be entertained."
…
Livar frowned subconsciously. As he was waiting in front of the counter, he couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
It was one of the three residents. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he looked carefully, he found that he seemed to be unable to see the other person clearly.
He only had a very vague impression in his mind.
The person who asked the question was a woman... In addition, he couldn't describe the appearance of this woman.
"Those who can be invited by the Saint are naturally those who have made great contributions to the Holy City and those whom the Saint loves." Livar said calmly at this time.
"What kind of person would make a saint love him?" the maid continued to ask with a smile.
"A person with a pure and noble soul will naturally win the love of a saint." Livar said expressionlessly.
The maid smiled and said: "In that case, there is no need for identity or anything like that... As long as you have a noble soul, you can be loved by the saint, right? In that case, it seems that it is not necessary to see what this saint said.
It’s not difficult.”
"You want to meet the saint?" Levi felt something was wrong.
He carefully looked at the three residents again... and found that neither the woman who had finished speaking nor the young man next to him could retain a clear impression in his mind.
Only the remaining thin woman with short hair could see clearly.
"Is there any problem?" the maid said calmly.
"No problem." Livar shook his head: "As long as you are a noble-minded person, when you are close to the saint, the saint will naturally feel it, and the saint will be summoned for this. If you want to see him, you can go to Freedom Square for a walk.
.The saint’s residence can overlook Freedom Square, and the saint’s eyes may also fall on you.”
"I got very useful information." The maid smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome." Livar said calmly: "But before you go, you must think carefully... If you approach with some unclean purpose, you will also be affected by the saint. The saint loves the soul very much.
There is nothing wrong with noble people, but in the same way, saints also hate people with dirty hearts."
"Oh?" The maid lady narrowed her eyes, "Sir, are you saying that my soul is not noble enough...or that the person next to me is not noble enough."
Livar's expression changed slightly.
Nan Xiaonan blinked.
What's going on with this future boss lady? She feels like she's very different from her usual behavior... Does this make it clear to me that I want to take the initiative to find trouble?
At this moment, Livar's expression changed again.
He was horrified to find that a trace of fear was born in his heart... Even driven by this fear, his petitioner level actually had a downward trend!
