With the creaking sound of the iron door being pulled open, Ye He finally saw what was inside the door. It was a large storage room with dazzling gold and silver jewelry, as well as swords in boxes. As soon as Ye He stepped into the storage room, his eyes were glued to these gold coins and jewelry.
System: [Warning, it is best for the host not to have the idea of getting something for nothing. Otherwise, this system will directly deduct your remaining lifespan.]
Ye He: "I won't take it, just touch it."
In all his life, he has never seen so many gold coins. Ye He roughly estimated that if all these gold coins were converted into life span, he could conservatively think about his life after the age of 250.
But according to the system, after taking it, let alone the days after the age of 250, he may not be alive after 25 seconds.
Ye He carefully stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the gold coin. Unexpectedly, when his fingertips were only a few centimeters away from the gold coin, he suddenly heard a metallic clicking sound, followed immediately by He Yan's voice: "Ye He, why are you standing there?"
Ye He put away his hand and looked over, only to find that there was an extra door in the storage room at some point, and He Yan and the housekeeper were standing there. The housekeeper also noticed Ye He stopped in the room outside, crossed his arms and looked over with a ferocious expression.
Ye He had no choice but to give up the idea of touching the gold coins and walked in the direction of the housekeeper and the others.
There were two sets of armor on both sides of the door of the room. Because these two sets of armor were so complete, they even had helmets. Ye He thought there were two people standing at the door. When he looked closer, he found that it was empty, but he didn't know. What was used to fix it into a standing position, and the gloves of the armor held a sharp spear, the top of which glowed with a cold sheen unique to metal.
For some reason, Ye He always felt a chill in his back.
Seeing that Ye He was still standing there, He Yan quickly called out to come over. It wasn't until she saw Ye He stepping into the room that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because both He Yan and Ajiang knew that there was a rule in the dungeon that other than props could not be taken out, so they had no interest in these gold and silver jewelry, and followed the housekeeper into the room contained in the storage room.
Just with a glance from the corner of her eye, she discovered that Ye He was squatting in front of the pile of gold and silver jewelry at some point. As he stretched out his hand, the armor at the door suddenly reacted, as if it was going in the direction of Ye He. .
Although he knew that the other party was just an NPC, He Yan had a good impression of Ye He, so he subconsciously reminded the other party. After Ye He took back his hand, the armor turned into a cold dead thing again. He Yan guessed that these gold and silver jewelry had not changed much in a hundred years. After all, they were protected by armor.
Ye He looked at He Yan, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and cast a grateful look at He Yan. But what he was grateful for was that the other party reminded him in time, otherwise he would have been scolded by the housekeeper again.
The housekeeper watched Ye He approach with a bit of regret in his eyes. If Ye He was greedy for money, the other party wouldn't stand here and continue to hinder his eyes.
Unlike the outer layer of the storage room, which was filled with glittering gold and silver jewelry, the inner layer of the storage room looked a little strange. Everything was wrapped tightly in white cloth, and it was impossible to tell what it was. The butler put on white gloves and He walked forward and picked up the smallest object, and then unbuttoned the white cloth little by little, revealing a jet black hard leather case.
Like a notebook.
A Jiang's voice was a bit surprised: "Is this... is this the Duke's notebook?"
He Yan also exclaimed softly.
When they came to this dungeon, in addition to completing the main mission, the most important task afterwards was to find a rare item - Cesar's notebook. However, during the search in the past few days, they did not find any clues. Even in The servants who have worked here for six or seven years don't even know these things exist.
Duke
Ye He wouldn't think anything of it if he heard this title on a normal day. However, after having that dream, and now hearing this name from the housekeeper's mouth, Ye He's mood suddenly became very subtle.
But why does Cesar want the Duke's notebook? Could it be that he suddenly had the urge to delve into the Duke's mind
The housekeeper turned to look at the three of them. A Jiang and He Yan were silent at the same time. However, he had already heard Ajiang's words and looked at him suddenly: "How come you got this as the Duke's notebook?"
Only then did Ajiang realize that he had accidentally let something slip. Fortunately, his mind was spinning quickly, so he quickly found an excuse and said that other servants had told him.
The housekeeper didn't say whether he believed A Jiang's excuse. He looked away and carefully held the notebook with both hands: "Okay, we can go back and hand it over to the master."
When they heard that this notebook was about to be handed over to the owner, A Jiang and He Yan's expressions suddenly changed. If the butler gives this notebook to the owner, it will be even more difficult for them to get it.
Thinking of this, He Yan's hand has already reached into his pocket, wanting to take out the prop now and directly control the butler to hand over the notebook to them.
But as soon as He Yan put her hand into her pocket, she was held down by A Jiang. Ajiang silently shook his head at He Yan, pointed at the housekeeper who had his back to them, and made a "ghost" gesture.
If they were ordinary NPCs, they could of course use props to subdue them. However, the butler was now a ghost. If he used props, he would probably not be able to restrain the other party. Instead, he would irritate the other party and cause irreparable consequences.
He Yan also knew this. After seeing A Jiang's mouth shape clearly, she could only retract her hand reluctantly, thinking about discussing what to do with Xia Qing when she went back.
In any case, the fact that they saw Cesar's notebook today cheered them up.
In addition to notebooks, the housekeeper asked them to bring several tightly wrapped things. Ye He touched the material through the cloth and felt that it looked like picture frames.
After Ye He struggled to carry the things in his hands to the first floor, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was assigned a lot of work by the housekeeper, while A Jiang and He Yan accompanied him to deliver these things to Cesar.
Almost as soon as the butler finished speaking, Ye He felt the pity look from He Yan. The butler's malice towards Ye He was too obvious, and he obviously had no intention of letting him rest.
Ye He was already used to it, and he accepted the butler's arrangements as usual. However, when facing the system in his heart, he changed his calm face and said viciously: "The butler is indeed not a human being."
The system comforted him very perfunctorily: [Yes, yes, he is not a human being.]
Ye He had a busy day, and when it was time to rest in the evening, he was caught by the housekeeper, who handed him a bamboo basket and asked him to go to Qin Qian's room to change into new sheets and quilts.
As soon as he heard that he was going to Qin Qian's room, Ye He resisted a little. Although it might have been a misunderstanding before, the aura of Qin Qian also made Ye He very scared. But if he didn't go, he would know what threats the housekeeper would threaten without even thinking about it, so Ye He finally sighed, took the bamboo basket and walked upstairs.
After arriving at Qin Qian's room on the second floor, Ye He hesitated for two seconds before raising his hand and knocking on the door. No one answered.
Qin Qian didn't seem to be inside.
The door was locked, but fortunately the housekeeper gave him a spare guest room key, so Ye He directly opened the door with the key and walked in.
He looked around and didn't find Qin Qian there. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought about changing all the sheets and quilts before Qin Qian came back.
But to be honest, Ye He felt that Qin Qian's room did not need to be tidied up. There were no wrinkles in Qin Qian's sheets and the quilts were folded neatly. Ye He even felt that Qin Qian had never slept in the bed at all.
Amused by his own thoughts, he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
However, it didn't take long for Ye He to notice something abnormal happened to him.
When he bent down to make the bed for Qin Qian, Ye He suddenly felt that his body was very hot, and it was getting hotter. He could even feel that his forehead and back were sweating.
Ye He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and asked the system with some confusion: "Is the temperature in this room rising?"
Otherwise, why would he feel hotter and hotter
The system was a little confused, but still replied: [No, the temperature in the room is always 25 degrees.]
After hearing what the system said, Ye He also felt a little strange. Logically speaking, 25 degrees should be the most comfortable temperature indoors, but he only felt hot. If it weren't for the fact that he was only wearing a thin shirt, Ye He would really want to take off his clothes.
Even though Ye He had opened all the windows in the room, the breeze that blew in was still just a drop in the bucket for him, and it couldn't relieve the heat that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
"But I'm so hot..." Ye He glanced at the door of the room secretly, raised his hand and put it on his clothes.
Very good, Qin Qian hasn't come back yet.
He raised his hand and unbuttoned the top button, and then managed to get some coolness. But these are far from enough. Ye He only feels that his body is getting hotter and hotter. He suspects that the problem is with this room. However, the work in hand is not finished yet. Ye He cannot just leave like this, otherwise the housekeeper will definitely take action again when he finds out. he.
Ye He let out a long sigh, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of coolness, and unbuttoned the second button, revealing his delicate collarbone. At this time, his collarbone was already covered with sweat, as if covered with a layer of mist, making his skin look like a shiny pearl.
The system also noticed Ye He's abnormality: [You don't have a fever, do you?]
After all, Ye He's face is so red now that it's hard for the system not to notice.
After hearing what the system said, Ye He tested the temperature of his forehead, and it was indeed hot. But he didn't feel weak in his limbs and dizzy after having a fever, so Ye He felt that he didn't have a fever.
There seemed to be a consciousness in his mind telling him that he just needed to take off his clothes.
He could cool off just by taking off his clothes.
Ye He's fingertips were already on several other buttons, and just when he was about to untie them, the system's voice was like a ray of light that broke through the clouds, awakening his last shred of reason.
System: [Wait, are you taking off your clothes? Have you ever thought about how it would feel if Qin Qian happened to push the door open and see a man standing in front of him shirtless?]
The author has something to say:
Ye He: Even if I’m sick, it can’t stop me from wanting to work.
