Chapter 30 Good and Evil.
Yu Zhizhi met a servant of a noble in this mountain forest.
He explained his purpose of visit: "The master of the house has invited me."
There were endless sounds of war in the forest, and a raging fire broke out in the distance. Yu Zhizhi looked back at the bright red with a somewhat dazed expression.
The servant persuaded: "Miss Zhizhi, it is getting dark. It will be very dangerous for you to be alone in the mountains and forests. I wonder where you are going?"
"Supply depot."
"That's still quite a long way to go."
"..."
"How about meeting our head first? You should have met him during the last wolf pup hatching ceremony."
When it comes to the [Shell Breaking Ceremony], Yu Zhizhi feels a little confident.
——So he was a former distinguished guest of the K family?
She looked at the getting darker sky and nodded gently: "Please lead the way."
The Duke's entourage smiled and led the way.
After passing through a rugged path, we came to a looser mountain road.
There was a carriage parked there.
The carriage looks magnificent, with exquisite and delicate carvings. The front of the car is inlaid with sparkling gems. The darker the sky, the brighter the light.
"Master." The attendant stood beside the car and whispered: "She is here."
"Good evening, Miss Zhizhi." The man's voice was low and pure, with a lazy smile. "At night in the mountains and forests, there are often unintelligent beasts. Why don't you get in the carriage and I will take you back."
"Who are you……"
The attendant on the side said quickly: "Our master is the most noble Duke of the Valoran Empire - Lord Platinum."
The setting sun gradually disappeared, and the fire in the distance could not illuminate the road at my feet.
Yu Zhizhi was a little uneasy.
During the day, she was walking through the mountains and forests, and she felt that the trees here were unusually tall, many of them tens of meters tall.
Looking at it again at night, it is densely packed and extremely scary.
Occasionally, you can hear the roar of unknown beasts...
"Are you really the Duke?" Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
The little female's voice is soft and waxy, clear and clean, with a hint of nervousness, which makes people's hearts itch.
Yu Zhizhi saw a cigarette stick lifting the car curtain.
Bolan glanced at the girl standing outside the carriage. She was wearing a light orange fluffy dress, and the hem of her skirt was torn by branches. Her feet were bare, and her fair and tender face was stained with some dust. She looked quite embarrassed. Down and out, like the little princess who ran away in a painting book.
"Give her a look." The man slowly lowered the curtain.
The servant responded: "Yes."
He took out a badge from his arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to the rabbit female.
Yu Zhizhi took it.
She had seen the emblem marks of different families in the library. The one in her hand had a golden emblem engraved with retro and noble patterns, which indeed symbolized the Duke of the Empire.
I vaguely remember that when [Duke Bolan] came to participate in the shell-breaking ceremony, Donnel specially entertained him.
There were so many guests that Yu Zhizhi couldn't remember his appearance for a while.
"Do you believe it?" The man's voice was low, gentle and gentle.
"Met the Duke."
"You're welcome, Miss Zhizhi. It's so late, just get in the car and I'll take you back."
"Thanks……"
Yu Zhizhi stepped on the low stool and got on the carriage.
The doors are densely covered with golden embroidery, and the spacious carriage is luxuriously decorated with silk curtains and gold and jade.
The soft cushion spread directly in front looks like a bed.
There was a slender figure leaning lazily. He was wearing a dark blue retro robe, and his face could not be seen clearly.
After coming in, Yu Zhizhi was a little cautious.
She sat outside.
Put your hands on your knees, sit upright, and look at your heart with your eyes down.
Seeing the girl's soft figure, the man's lips twitched into a smile.
——This little female is a little wary, but not much.
Although I found out his identity, I never thought about the relationship between the good and evil in people's hearts and their identity.
Click.
There was the sound of a lighter inside the carriage.
Yu Zhizhi, who was in a daze, smelled the faint fragrance of tobacco. This kind of tobacco was much lighter than what she had smelled in the real world, and even had a hint of lotus seed astringency.
I don't know why, but when I smell this smell, I automatically think of Dracula.
The man, who was sitting on the cushion and leaning back lazily, caught a glimpse of this little female with two droopy rabbit ears and the corners of her eyes were red, which made people feel pity for her.
But he is not a kind person.
Seeing the little female's appearance, the corner of the man's mouth raised into a smile.
——Don’t cry in a hurry now.
It wasn't time for her to actually cry.
Yu Zhizhi leaned on the carriage and gradually felt sleepy. She didn't want to sleep at first, thinking about waiting until she returned to the K family's territory, which was at least a place she was familiar with.
Only later...
My consciousness gradually blurred, and my head became heavier and heavier...
When she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed. He moved his body slightly, his hands were tied behind his back with something, and his eyes were blindfolded, so he couldn't see where he was.
"Is there anyone..." Yu Zhizhi called softly.
She hadn't drank water for a long time, her throat was dry and her voice became hoarse.
What's going on?
She obviously fell asleep in the Duke's carriage, why was she tied to this strange place?
Did we encounter bandits on the road?
She was kidnapped?
Yu Zhizhi shouted a few more times, but maybe the voice was too low and no one responded.
Helpless, she could only shout to the system in her heart.
[I...where have I been? ]
System: "For issues unrelated to the mission, the host is asked to explore on his own."
[Then let me look at the inventory. I want to know the rewards from the last mission. Ah, I can't see anything now. Please read it to me. ]
The system read out the last mission reward.
In addition to the regular postpartum gift package, which is nutrient solution to fill the stomach, there is one more thing that Yu Zhizhi has never seen before——
【Truth Potion】
"Where's the main plot?" she asked softly.
[System: I told you when we were in the car, but you were semi-conscious at the time and were not sure about using the two-choice welfare coupon. 】
Yu Zhizhi curled her toes slightly and asked nervously: "Will the welfare coupons disappear?"
[System: No. I would like to ask the host, do you want to use it now? 】
call……
Yu Zhizhi breathed a long sigh of relief.
That's good.
You can see two tasks at once, and you can choose at least one of them, which is relatively not that difficult.
"Yes." Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips and listened quietly.
[System: The welfare coupon has been used. Two main quests unlocked——]
[Main line one: capture the adult male of the snake tribe. 】
[Main line two: capture the leader of the Fox clan. 】
[Please host choose. 】
The adult male of the Snake Clan, and the leader of the Fox Clan...
It seems that, judging from the content, the Snake Clan has no status requirements and only needs to be an adult, which is simpler.
Yu Zhizhi prefers the first one in her heart.
But she had to ask.
"What is this place? Are there... many snakes?"
[System: Quite a few. 】
That being the case!
Yu Zhizhi made a decision: "I choose the first one!"
[System: Ding! Congratulations to the host for starting the third main quest. It requires that within one month, the adult male of the snake tribe (regardless of identity) is captured. Conception and birth of a cub will be considered a success. Failure or task timeout will be erased! Host, please hurry up, the countdown begins——】
Yu Zhizhi struggled for a moment and found that the hands tied behind her became tighter.
There were footsteps outside the door.
More than ten seconds later, the door was pushed open.
"Squeak——"
She heard a familiar voice.
"Miss Zhizhi, please don't move. The thing wrapped around your wrist is a living thing. The more you move, the tighter it becomes. If you don't want your wrist to be broken, just lie down."
