"No, he is no longer Nana's prey." The man shook his head.
Maybe it's fate.
At that time in the banquet hall, he just glanced casually, but let him see a strange scene - the dark crime faded away from the young man like a tide, the previous sinner disappeared in an instant, a pure white, brand new A lamb was born in an instant and took his place. What's even more dramatic is that the lamb threw itself into his arms. At that moment, the man immediately decided to keep him in captivity.
Such a weak and lovable little creature, without his protection, would surely be swallowed up by the monsters in the manor soon, right
But being raised by him is different. He will take good care of him, feed him the most exquisite food, prepare fun toys, and it is enough for him to act like a baby in his arms.
As if he had seen the scene of the boy throwing himself into his arms and acting like a baby, the man narrowed his eyes, showing an intoxicated expression.
Seeing his expression, the black cat's green eyes looked at him suspiciously: "You are not committing an old problem again, are you?"
After getting along in the manor for a long time, he also knows that men like cute creatures very much, and they often break the rules for them and do things that were impossible to do before. But those cute creatures in the past were fluffy little animals. To humans, this man has always been honest.
It glanced up and down at the boy hiding behind the man, wanting to see what was special about him, and focused its sharp eyes on Xia Nuo, making him shiver uncontrollably.
what happened? Is the man talking to the cat? How did he understand the cat talking
The black cat's words fell into his ears, but they were meows of different lengths, but the man seemed to be able to understand what it was saying, and responded accurately.
It seems that I discovered another powerful skill of "boyfriend".
Xia Nuo sighed again in his heart.
This should be some kind of special talent, right? He vaguely remembered seeing it in a system store, and the price was very expensive. But at that time, what he really wanted to see was the game points needed to exchange for health, so he didn't pay much attention to the previous skills.
By the way, when it comes to game points, he doesn't seem to have read what his mission is in this game
He was lost in thought here, while the conversation between the man and the black cat over there was still going on.
"Kate, you scared him." The man protected Xia Nuo with his backhand, and looked at the black cat disapprovingly, "The manor's rule is that only the guilty can be killed, and now he no longer conforms to this rule. Na Na, I will explain to her personally."
"Nana won't listen to what you say." The black cat stroked its beard slowly, "She finally waited until the day when she could take revenge with her own hands, and you tell her to stop now? Impossible."
"You don't need to worry about this." The man took Xia Nuo's hand again, ready to leave, "Also, I saw your Miss 'Elizabeth' went to the fountain of the goddess, why don't you go and have a look? "
"..." The black cat's eyes suddenly sharpened, "Thank you for letting me know. In exchange, I won't tell Nana that the prey is with you. Of course, if Nana finds out by herself, then you can't blame me. So You'd better find a place to hide him well."
After speaking, it jumped down the stairs, and a few ups and downs disappeared from the man's sight.
"You don't need to remind me, I will protect him naturally..." the man murmured.
At the end of this staircase was a small attic, which was his original destination. It is sure to be foolproof to place the cute little pet there. Because no one else dared to go there except him.
At this time, Xia Nuo was checking the game panel in his mind, completely unaware of what was going to happen next.
On the game board it reads:
Main task: Survive successfully in the manor for seven days
Reward: 1000 points
Side Quest: Explore the Manor
Current completion: 0.5%
Reward: 5,000 points
Special task: solve the mystery and free the evil spirits in the manor
Reward: 15,000 points
Reminder: The game package (unused) has been delivered. The game redemption function is turned on.
Special Item: Invitation Letter from Oriel Manor (cannot be dropped)
"Mr.____ is cordially invited to the banquet held on July 15th to celebrate the twenty-fifth birthday of the owner of Oriel Manor.
Sincerely, all the staff of Olier on June 30
Remarks: We have prepared a surprise for you in the garden, please come and have a look. "
"15,000 points?" Before Xia Nuo had time to pay attention to the reminders and special items at the bottom, the game rewards had already attracted his full attention.
The first game world for a novice, are the rewards so generous? The healthy body he wanted to exchange for only needed 120,000 points. If you can complete all these three tasks, you will get one-sixth of the points.
When you think about it that way, it's quite exciting!
If the system is still here, it will definitely let him dispel this unrealistic idea without mercy.
The richness of the reward is directly proportional to the difficulty of the task. The game world of "Black Crow Manor" ranks in the middle-lower level of danger. It is not very suitable for training novices, but its main quests are known for their low difficulty. As long as you don't die or violate the rules of the game, basically you can't complete it. of.
The system arranged for Xia Nuo to enter this world, originally just to let him understand the rules of the game and familiarize himself with the game world. Who would have thought that he would be so whimsical and want to finish all three tasks
It's a pity that the system can't enter the game world. The game system built into "Black Crow Manor" is now accompanying Xia Nuo. It is not intelligent. It only has basic functions such as releasing tasks and settlement rewards. Naturally, it will not affect Xia Nuo. Thoughts raise any objections.
So Xia Nuo followed the man to the attic step by step with this idea that was absolutely unrealistic in the eyes of others, and an iron door appeared in front of them.
The iron gate was wide and tall, and because it hadn't been used for a long time, a thick layer of rust had grown on the bolt, and an iron lock lay across it.
The man glanced at his residence before the age of twelve, and there was a bit of hatred in his eyes, which was quickly hidden by him.
He wanted to take out the key to open the door, but found that the key had been thrown away by him when he left. Although the butler must have a backup, but he is enjoying the "family fun" with his grandson in the banquet hall now, and it is not good for him to disturb them.
After thinking for a while, the man put his hand on the iron lock. After a while, the iron lock fell to the ground with a "click", and he turned his head: "Okay, come in."
As soon as the iron door was opened, the damp and cold air in the attic poured out, and the stale and decayed atmosphere came oncoming.
Xia Nuo shrank his neck. At this time, the keen intuition of small animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages had an effect. He hesitated and asked: "Well, why did we come here? This place makes me feel a little weird... "
Although the system told him to listen to his "boyfriend", the attic in front of him really exuded a real evil aura. Xia Nuo moved his steps, but couldn't muster the courage to go in.
Why did the man bring him here? There is no trigger point for the task event here
The intuition of the little pet is really keen.
The man looked at the boy's pitiful appearance, almost shrinking into a ball, and couldn't help but want to tease him.
He took a step forward, and the shadows enveloped him, casting a mass of huge black shadows on the floor. The black shadows twisted and squeezed, revealing many pairs of scarlet eyes.
Although Xia Nuo couldn't see this weird and terrifying scene, he instinctively sensed the danger.
"You can guess, why did I bring you to such a 'weird' place?" The man deliberately lowered his voice, the originally magnetic voice sounded a bit distorted, which is even more embarrassing for the current weird atmosphere. It adds a lot of color.
"..."
Xia Nuo took a few steps back, grabbed the handrail of the stairs, his big eyes were wide open, showing a look of helplessness.
At this time, men can actually understand why some people especially like to scare their pets, because being able to see the cute appearance of a little pet after being frightened really makes people feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Guess it, why?"
"Because... because..." The young man in front of him trembled slightly, his fingers clenched into fists and placed by his side, he finally opened his mouth after hesitating to speak a few times.
"Because dd wants to protect me?" he said hesitantly.
"Ha, haha, hahaha..." After a moment of silence, Xia Nuo heard the man laughing suddenly, he laughed louder and louder, as if he had discovered something interesting, and couldn't stop laughing.
"What, what's the matter? Did I say something wrong?" Xia Nuo was very sure of his guess at first, but when he smiled like this, he became less sure.
Did he really guess wrong
But in the previous conversation between the man and the cat, although he couldn't understand what the cat said, he could indeed understand what the man said, and he could hear the protection of him in his words. Not to mention the phrase "I will protect him", although the voice is not loud, but with his current keen hearing, he can hear it clearly.
Although I didn't guess it at first, but when I think about what the man said before, the answer is obvious.
"No, you guessed right." The man stepped forward and looked at him with burning eyes, "I thought you might have misunderstood me just now."
"I won't!" Xia Nuo gave the man a strange "look", "Although I'm a little slow, I can tell the truth from the fake. I can also feel when others treat me well."
From the very beginning the man acted very loving towards him. Whether it was reminding him to pay attention to the stairs, or gently touching his head, or saying to protect him, Xia Nuo kept everything firmly in his mind. How could he misunderstand in this situation
"Thank you very much for taking care of me before. If there is anything I need to do, please let me know!" Xia Nuo said very solemnly.
Oh, how can it be so cute! The man sighed in his heart.
Then he said, "Then in return, tell me your name."
"Huh?" Xia Nuo didn't expect the man to put forward such a condition, and the system's warning came to his mind, which made him hesitate for a while.
"Why, can't you tell me your name?" The man's voice was low, sounding a bit lost.
"... Yes, yes." Xia Nuo's head was hot, and he agreed, but the moment he said it, he felt a little uneasy for no reason, "My name is Xia Nuo, Xia in summer, a promise that promises a thousand gold."
The system just said don't tell the npc your name, it shouldn't be a problem if you tell your companions, right
He didn't know that he had stepped into the trap set by the devil, and even unconsciously showed a very trusting smile to the devil.
So the man also smiled and told him his name: "My name is Kan Chen, please remember it firmly."
If Xia Nuo knew something about this manor, he would know that "Kan" was the surname of the manor's first owner. After his death, the manor changed hands several times, and every owner died unexpectedly.
But this was his first night in the manor, and once he entered the game, he didn't have time to collect information at all, so he simply gave a "huh" and nodded, indicating that he remembered the name.
At this moment, fluctuations like water ripples suddenly appeared on the invitation letter, and the fonts were rearranged and combined into dd
"Welcome distinguished guest, Mr. Xia Nuo, to Olier Manor as a guest. The gate of the manor is open for you at any time, and all Olier staff look forward to your arrival.
Sincerely, Kan Chen, Olier Manor. "
