As he spoke, he picked up the contract and briefly explained the situation, "Wouldn't it be better to rely on your parents at home and your friends outside? Let's work together to complete the task with minimal losses?"
Xu Huo glanced at the nine names on the contract. Except for Mr. and Mrs. Ma, everyone else had signed.
Seeing that he was silent, Frye added: "Mr. Xu, the castle is so big, how many clues can you find by yourself? There are ten of us. As long as one person completes the task, the others can pass smoothly."
There was a trace of surprise on Xu Huo's face, "The contract is not an ordinary prop. It has the same binding force on the holder and the participants?"
Frye's face suddenly darkened, and then Baby Face said: "We have tried it, there is nothing wrong with the contract, and you will not really be punished even if you break the contract."
"Really?" Xu Huo definitely wouldn't sign. He paused before saying, "The contract may be fine, but can you be sure that the twelve people who came are all mission players?"
Everyone's expressions changed, and You Qiwen immediately said: "Mr. Xu, do you know something?"
Xu Huo didn't plan to say anything more. Just as he was about to leave, Baby Face said: "Brother, just forget it if you don't want to join the gang. There is no need to sow discord here."
Others were somewhat wary, but some listened to what he said.
After glancing at them, Xu Huo said nothing more, but walked out of the main building and found the young servant who had brought him tea before to show him around this large castle.
In fact, before he came last night, he took advantage of the rain to search in the front garden. However, the rumor that there were human bones in the garden was obviously false. The soil in the garden should not have been turned over for a long time. It was not like someone had been buried there.
.
After walking around in the garden, Xu Huo said to the servant: "It's a pity that no one can see such a beautiful garden. I have a friend who likes flowers. I wonder if Mr. Dong can send an invitation to my friend."
?But Mr. Dong looks too serious, it must be difficult to talk."
The young servant smiled and said: "Mr. Dong is actually a very nice person and takes good care of us. However, the housekeeper cannot invite guests beyond the master. If Mr. Xu wants to invite friends to enjoy the flowers together, it is best to talk to him."
"But Mr. He hasn't gone downstairs, and he doesn't seem to be planning to see guests today." Xu Huo said rather distressedly.
"Sir will definitely come downstairs during dinner time." The young servant said firmly: "It has always been like this before. Sir respects every guest who is invited."
Xu Huo nodded and turned the topic to the spiders raised by He Pu.
There is a special place for raising spiders in the castle. There is an annex in the woods behind the garden maze. The servant told him that Mr. Dong has been taking care of it since Hopp became ill, because there are many precious spiders in the annex.
Variety, other servants usually don't go over.
After wandering around half of the castle, the servant was called away. Xu Huo did not continue walking around alone, but returned to the main building and went to the study for a while before getting ready to go back to his room.
However, when I opened the door and went out, I saw Mrs. Ma in silk pajamas leaning against the door, raising her glass and saying, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come back?"
"The servant just brought lunch and wine. Let's have a drink together?"
Xu Huo glanced towards her room. The door was closed tightly and Mr. Ma did not come out.
Mrs. Ma rolled her sleeves and leaned against him, "Death, he fell asleep and didn't wake up despite the thunder. What are you afraid of?"
Xu Huo put an umbrella against her shoulder, walked around her and entered the room, "Speak directly if you have anything to say, do you still want to do this in the game?"
Mrs. Ma followed him, "What are you saying, little brother? I am sincere to you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. You look good and have a great figure..."
Xu Huo didn't answer her at all and didn't even want to look at her again.
Mrs. Ma gave the blind man a flirtatious look and curled her lips and said, "It's not interesting at all. You've wasted all your good flesh for nothing."
"I came here just to say hello to you. We are all our own people. Please don't flood the Dragon King Temple."
"Those young men just now asked you to cooperate. They are a bunch of young people, and they dare to sign the contract in the game."
"Really stupid people can't survive in the game." Xu Huo sat down and acquiesced to her statement, "Don't worry, if you don't mess with me, I won't care about you. There are so many players, are you worried that you don't have enough points?
"
"We, as a couple, have always valued harmony, so we came here on our own initiative." Mrs. Ma blinked, "But we are all guests, and we can't do whatever we want in other people's homes. I think those new players are quite capable.
As for the money, how about the three of us cooperate and add two to one to make five, and no one will suffer."
Xu Huo looked at her intently for a few seconds, "Do you think I really asked you to come for dinner? There is a lot going on in this castle."
Mrs. Ma was stunned for a moment, "How do you say that?"
"Hope."
"Didn't he invite us here? What's the problem?" Mrs. Ma frowned.
"Who said it must be him who invited us here?" Xu Huo said, "Don't forget, there is no name written on the invitation. It could be him, the housekeeper or someone else."
"Then why did he want to see us alone?" Mrs. Ma said: "He didn't know who he invited or not?"
The Ma couple also bought their invitations. She and her husband did not get tickets for the game, so they were stranded at the Garden Castle Station. After many rounds, they learned that the Rose Flower Castle would host banquets for guests every once in a while, and they did not need tickets as long as they had the invitations.
Being able to enter does not clearly tell them that the boss of the castle is taking advantage of the loophole, so they naturally think that the owner of the castle is a man-eating player.
Doesn't He Pu's initiative to meet them instead of other players further illustrate this point?
"How long have you been here?" Xu Huo asked.
Mrs. Ma hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's been two months."
"Two months is not a long time," Xu Huo raised his eyebrows and said, "I just asked about it. Rose Flower Castle has been hosting guests for several years. If there is such a good thing, won't the players on this site grab it?
Can it easily fall into the hands of foreign players?"
"That's not necessarily true. We spent a lot of money on these two invitations." Mrs. Ma disagreed.
"Do you think He Pu is seriously ill?" Xu Huo asked again.
Mrs. Ma pouted, "It looks like I haven't eaten in seventeen or eighteen days."
"The servant said that He Pu rarely goes downstairs except to entertain guests. The person in charge of the castle is Mr. Dong, the butler." Xu Huo paused and then said: "Actually, He Pu also asked the servant to call me just now, but I didn't see it.
The others were stopped by Mr. Dong."
Mrs. Ma knew that Xu Huo had been on the third floor, but the time was a little short.
"Anyway, don't overthink things." Xu Huo pointedly said: "There is no such thing as a free lunch."
Mrs. Ma's expression changed, and then she said with a sweet smile: "Then we should cooperate more. We have come, we can't leave on an empty stomach."
Xu Huo waved his hand, "You can do whatever you want, I'll leave as soon as I get the ticket."
