Chapter 445 The competition begins
Ran Ran was a little surprised. It turned out that the mission rewards would not be obtained repeatedly, but would be replaced with something else.
The more humane possibility she considered was to strengthen her sense of smell, so that at least the mission rewards would be correct and the explorers would not be in vain after completing the mission.
It is better to replace it directly with something else.
【Silent Death Knell】
This name is related to the main mission at first glance, which is very good. It is worth her efforts to find out information from Armand.
Ran Ran looked at the mission panel and saw that there were no more side missions.
The only main task that needs to be solved now is to find the truth about Tok's death.
Afu appeared outside the door at the right time and knocked on the door, "Master, Earl Mellis took the game you mentioned before seriously. He is now waiting for you in the banquet hall with Miss Leonor and the others. ."
Arman raised his eyebrows, "Leonor hired Mellis as a helper?"
Ah Fu said truthfully: "Miss Alice, Miss Ada, Miss Helen, and Mrs. Christine originally wanted to participate, but Earl Mellis refused her."
Ran Ran blinked, and sure enough, it changed. It became a competition between camps.
Armand: "I thought she would find some helpers who can complement her?"
Ran Ran sighed in her heart, because this is how the dungeon divides the lineup, and Leonor can't do anything about it.
Armand: "Where's Eve, the maid?"
"There are two male servants, Haier and Xiaodo, and Doctor Arnold."
Arman half lamented and half mocked: "Obviously he is Mellis's doctor, but he stands in the opposite camp to him. It's really a wonderful relationship."
"One more thing..." Afu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Because there are five members on Miss Leonor's side, so the head maid Eve is also there. It was proposed that they should have five members, but there is still one missing..."
Armand frowned, "There is still one missing. What's the use of telling me, she will find a way to find it herself."
Under great pressure, Ah Fu continued according to the words Hei Cha taught him: "Eve hopes that Miss Elizabeth will take the position."
He looked up at Ran Ran and smiled, "Miss, are you willing?"
Hei Cha's words were still in his ears, and Ah Fu felt like he had shouldered a heavy responsibility just by recalling them.
"Remember Butler Alfred! You must say this last sentence, and you must say it to Miss Elizabeth, otherwise Count Armand will definitely reject you without even thinking about it!"
Armand tilted his head to observe Ranran's expression, and spoke first before she spoke.
"I allow you to participate, Elizabeth, and I will allow you to do whatever you want."
The words "I do" stuck in Ranran's throat. In fact, even if Armand did not allow her to participate, she would try her best to participate.
She nodded and smiled back at Armand, "Yeah, I also want to participate."
Afu didn't react well to this change, which was exactly what Eve said. It was different. When he was stunned, he only heard Armand whisper.
"Afu, do you know that your current expression is easy for me to misunderstand?"
"What misunderstanding, my master?"
Armand smiled and said: "You misunderstood that I am the kind of unkind person who will not allow Elizabeth to participate."
Afu immediately expelled the hypothesis of black tea from his mind, and he shook his head violently , "I would never dare to think that!"
Ran Ran's participation in the round table meeting was finally finalized in this episode.
As for why it was a round table meeting, because the place Armand prepared was an empty room with only a huge round table, and an unknown light source came from above everyone's heads and fell on the center of the round table.
Since Armand said that she could say anything in front of him, Ran Ran no longer concealed her true nature.
And she had a feeling that he liked her better now than the delicate look she had pretended to be dependent on Armand.
“Why did you choose here?” She looked at Armand, who said truthfully: “It has more atmosphere here.”
“Since we want to play, let’s play more immersed. "Armand sat down in the seat facing the door, and the two camps took their seats on either side of him.
The position arrangement is somewhat similar to the previous dinner, Ran Ran and Mellis were on both sides of Armand.
Next to Ran Ran is Hei Cha, the captain of their camp appointed by Armand. Next to Hei Cha is the real captain of the [Pure White] camp, Minister Gao.
Next to Minister Gao is Doctor Bai, and the last one is Zhong Ning.
Ran Ran didn’t know until now that Zhong Ning turned out to be a male servant named Xiao Duo.
Next to Mellis is Leonor, the captain appointed by Armand. Next to Leonor is Alice, and the remaining two are Helen and Ada.
Christine was not allowed to participate in the competition by Mellis, but she couldn't help it and insisted on coming over to watch the fun.
She sat opposite Armand, claiming to be absolutely impartial and fair, and the referee of this competition. In fact, everyone knew that the real referee was Armand.
The two camps first conducted an intra-team communication session to avoid non-sharing of information. Armand looked at Ran Ran and had to work hard to lower his voice to avoid being heard by the opposite lineup, and to let teammates in the distance He looked embarrassed after hearing what she was saying, so he clapped his hands and called Ah Fu.
Afu was also on call this time, but maybe he didn’t come here often and was in a hurry. When he flashed into the room, he didn’t even have time to put away the thin black veil behind his back. wing.
Ran Ran blinked her eyes, and it turned out that the red-eyed dwarf Ah Fu was a bat.
“At your service, my master.”
Armand's words were concise and to the point, "Open the secret rooms on both sides and let them communicate inside."
Ran Ran was startled and looked at Armand. She wanted to use the word "understanding" to describe him again.
She kept staring at Armand, making him feel uncomfortable.
I saw him cough lightly, "Go, this is also for a better immersion."
The ten people walked to the secret rooms on both sides and closed the stone doors. There was no sound in the whole room. Can't hear it anymore.
Christine complained in her seat, "Count, the sound insulation in your house is too good."
Arman snorted coldly, "Confidentiality is the first priority in a secret room, so it naturally requires excellent sound insulation."
Christine was full of complaints, but she didn't dare to complain to Armand. She only stared at the direction of the secret room on Mellis' side with one pair of eyes.
Afu shook his head as he watched, thinking that this Mrs. Christine really loved Count Mellis just like the rumors, even though Earl Mellis did not love her.
But he doesn’t love anyone either. Earl Mellis treats everyone equally coldly. Christine can get a little different from him because of her status as his wife...
She can be considered a lucky woman, at least compared to most unfortunate women in this world.
A person with money, power and love.
But Ah Fu still felt pitiful when he looked at it. In his mind, only people like his master could be called strong.
Afu was thinking this, and kept Armand's eyes staring at Ran Ran's secret room.
……
"...Master, if you want to see Miss Elizabeth, you can go directly."
Armand sneered after hearing this, "Since I promised Elizabeth to sit in the middle and remain impartial, I will do it. This point."
"Have you ever seen a referee favoring either side during a game, let alone going directly to a certain team's preparation room during the game? "
Ah! Fu heard Count Armand say this, but saw eagerness to try in his eyes.
"Master, you..."
"Okay, don't interfere with me anymore." Armand turned his head and looked at Christine opposite him expressionlessly.
"I am the referee, I will not waver."
Afu touched his nose and thought that he didn't say anything to interfere...
K Kristen also touched her nose, wondering if she was the referee...
