Chapter 271
The two maids who were cleaning the floor immediately stopped chatting and speeded up. After a while, Emis came over without delay, opened the door, looked at them, swept the floor again, looked at his watch, and said, "Is that all you have achieved since morning?" Although this room is very large, I don't think it will take five hours, and it should be completely solved. How do you explain the current situation?
The two maids were somuch, and the waiter next to them said, "Housekeeper Emis, please forgive them. They had something to do in the morning and delayed the time. They were already trying to make up for it just now."
"I don't want to hear any reason," Emis said. "Before the evening, if I can't see this place as clean as new, I will report it to Lord Kuhn. Take care of yourselves." After saying that, he walked slowly again and left the hall and walked to the other end of the corridor.
After he left, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. The waiter complained, "This guy is too much. Who does he think he is? Even if you are under the command of Kuhn, you don't have to push us so hard.
The two maids did not respond and tried their best to speed up. If they really reported Kuhn, they would definitely die. How could they have the leisure to repay their grievances? Seeing this, the waiter also helped.
A lesson was taught to the lazy maid, and the manager continued to patrol the mansion. He did this not to ensure that the operation of the mansion was in the best condition, but to find somewhere, someone. Because this new housekeeper is Wang Qi, who came to save Keith in disguise. He forged his identity at the Sky City Hall to sign up for Kuhn's mansion. The name he used was not groundless, but Iangrass called his name.
After Wang Qi became a close servant, relying on a few good things and a relatively indifferent attitude, he was quickly appreciated by Kuhn and took over the vacant housekeeper position. After more than ten days, he had discovered something, such as Keith, who entered the mansion and showed no sign of going out. He was not taken care of by Bern, so he is very likely to be alive, but he just doesn't know where he is locked up. Wang Qi was keen on inspecting the mansion in order to find that place and teach the maid a lesson, just out of disguise.
But no matter how he searched, he could not find any clues. Keith seemed to have disappeared. If Wang Qi hadn't known the usual way of dealing with Kuhn after killing outsiders, he would have really thought he was dead.
He toured for more than two hours and still got nothing. He returned to the place where he had passed before. The hall was clean. Wang Qi said a few words without hesitation. He estimated that the time was almost time, so he came to the gate to wait for Kuhn.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, it was getting dark. Kuhn flew back from a distance. Wang Qi led him into the mansion and ordered several waiters to prepare dinner in advance. Not long after, Wang Qi accompanied Kuen into the restaurant, served Kuen to sit down in the chair, and then stood aside without squint. As a powerful outsider, Kuhn doesn't need to eat every day. The frequency of meals depends on how much he is interested. He doesn't eat more than when he eats, and he can't eat more than one meal a day at most, and it's usually at night. Although the number of times is small, once he announces that he will have a meal, the preparation will be extremely rich.
The table is very long, and the dishes are full of dishes, all of which are selected high-calorie food, because these things can slightly enhance Kuhn's strength. Kuhn sat right in the middle of the table, in front of him was a huge plate with the previous lizard man in it. On the surface, it seems to be no different from living, but it is full of fragrance and has become a dish. Chef Bern is the third generation, and the special ability of his ancestors has not been lost. He has a way to take good care of the dead outsiders without affecting the residual energy in his body. Therefore, this dish, for Kuhn, can also be regarded as a tonic.
Kuhn doesn't need to be served when eating. His fingers are too dexterous and easy to use, which is more comfortable than having someone to help. With a finger and a hook, what he wanted to eat came to him, and everything went well. He ate a few dishes, and then aimed at the lizard man. He looked at it a few times, showed satisfaction, and praised, "There is no better chef than Bern. There is nothing wrong with what he cooks." After saying that, he smiled and suddenly said, "Amis, come closer. Well, let's experience the ancient aristocratic life today. What do you think?
Wang Qi took a step forward, did not look at the lizard man, and said rigidly, "Lord Kuhn, I don't understand what you mean."
Kuhn smiled and said, "I don't know if you know. In many ancient civilizations, noble people, such as emperors, or other people with assassination value, there is always a drug tester at the table. Today, let's experience it. If I am the noble person, you will be the drug tester. He glanced at the lizard man's feast and smiled and said, "You can help me taste the poison of this lizard man first. Isn't this a very good after-come program? It can cheer me up for my dinner."
Wang Qi's shock was not small, and the awe on his face was suddenly replaced by horror. He looked at the lizard man, endured the nausea, and replied with his original expression: "Lord Kuhn, didn't you praise Bern just now? He has been working for so many years. How can he betray you for no reason? It doesn't make sense at all, and it's too distrustful of him to do so.
Kuhn smiled and said, "I didn't say that Bern would poison. I thought that the lizard man himself might be poisoned, and Bern didn't detect it, so I had this idea."
Wang Qi said, "Lord Kuhn, with your strength, poison has no effect on you at all. Even if he is highly poisonous, it can't hurt you."
Kuhn said, "It doesn't matter whether the poison hurts me or not. You seem to have misunderstood me. I just want to experience the details of ancient life, but I don't really want to check the poison. All right, come on." He stuffed the cutlery into Wang Qi's hand with a smile.
Wang Qi had killed Kuhn a thousand times in his heart. He really wanted to overturn the table immediately and scold him, but in the end, reason overwhelmed the impulse and finally calmed down. But if he was asked to eat people, even if he was a lizard man, he was still unbearable. His expression changed for a while and he said, "Lord Kuhn, I don't seem to be qualified to test poison people. You should know that I'm the first generation, and the toxin can't be effective for me."
Kuhn showed a sudden realization and said, "Yes, you are really inappropriate. It's too inappropriate. I'd better change to another person. Which one do you think is more suitable in the house?
Wang Qi thought, "How can I put this terrible job on others?" He said, "Lord Kuhn, don't think about it today. When you talk to me, the dishes are getting cold."
Kuhn smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. Well, this experience will be reserved for the next time." As he spoke, he cut his finger, took a piece of meat from the lizard man, took a bite, and said to Wang Qi, "This guy tastes quite good. Would you like to try it, my dear housekeeper, hehehe..."
Wang Qi saluted and said, "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that I just ate it today, and I can't eat now. I'm very sorry." Wang Qi's words are half true and half false. Although he didn't eat today, he couldn't eat anything, but it was true. Seeing this scene, he didn't feel creepy. Even if he was asked to eat ordinary food, he had no appetite, not to mention this.
"You are the strongest first generation I have ever seen. Why is your digestive ability so low?" Kuhn sighed, "It's a pity that you are so unlucky. Oh, it's a pity."
Wang Qi didn't answer, but just stood quietly. Kuhn wiped out the lizard man cleanly, and his belly was not bulging at all. I took a few more mouthfuls of other dishes, put down the cutlery, and sighed, "After eating the previous delicacy, the taste was tasteless. If I had known that I should have eaten other dishes first. Forget it, that's all for today's dinner.
Wang Qi called a few people, pushed the table away directly, and went out of the restaurant with Kuhn. Kuhn said, " Speaking of which, the lizard man is not only this one, but also a guy who looks similar to a lizard, and I guess the taste is also the same. Well, Emmys, let me go and see our guests. Since you became the manager, there is another place I didn't tell you. Managing there is also one of your responsibilities.
Wang Qi immediately thought of Keith, happy and worried, and answered, "Yes."
Kuhn took Wang Qi into the room where he stayed during the day and flinched to the wall behind the chair. A beam of light shot at the wall and immediately raised the wall, revealing a downward ladder behind. He turned around and said, "Have you seen the location of the switch?"
Wang Qi nodded, and Kuhn said with satisfaction, "Very good. You are the first person who doesn't need me to demonstrate for the second time. It's worthy of being the first generation. Your predecessors are simply troublesome. One of them even made me unable to see it clearly after four times. I was angry and killed him. Emis, keep your current state. I don't want to change the housekeeper again.
Wang Qi agreed, but thought to himself, "If I save Keith, there will be a ghost if I stay here again."
When the two walked into the dark underground, they saw countless cells separated by transparent crystals. There is no gap in the cell, but there are people in it. I don't know how to put it in. As Kuhn walked inward, he walked through dozens of cells and saw two weak prisoners. One of them saw Kuhn. There was a fire in his eyes and his mouth kept opening and closing. I don't know if he was cursing him, but because the cell was completely sealed, the voice could not come out at all. Kuhn looked at the man's expression and just sneered and didn't take it seriously.
At the end, Wang Qi found a familiar figure in the innermost cell. The man had green skin, wearing coarse white clothes, and his eyes were slightly closed. It was Keith. First, he was secretly happy, but when he thought of the crystal cell, he was worried. He didn't know how to save him from it. Kuhn pointed to the side. Wang Qi took a look and saw that it was a complex console. After a little inspection, it was the control system of the whole underground prison, but he couldn't find a way to open the crystal cell, but found a way to put the person in it: as long as the marked person on his body was brought to the edge of the crystal, the cell would Take the initiative to inhale him. In addition, there are daily work points.
He took a look and returned to Kuhn. Kuhn said, "Well, have you understood what your work is?"
Wang Qi nodded and said, "Are these going to be locked up until they die? I haven't found a way to let them out."
Kuhn smiled and said, "Let them out?" You don't have to worry about it. I may be the only one in the world who can liberate them from it. Take a good look." Kuhn said, reaching out and waving his hand under the close gaze of Wang Qi. The light was completely distorted in an instant, and then Keith was caught in his hand. He smiled at Wang Qi and walked straight out. Wang Qi followed closely and returned to the room above.
Kuhn threw Keith heavily on the ground. Keith still closed his eyes and didn't look at him or get up from the ground.
Kuhn sat in a chair, held his chin, and stared at Keith on the ground. After a long time, he saw that there was no movement at all. He couldn't help laughing angrily and said, "I kept you to wait for you to change your mind, so I didn't do anything to you, but looking at your current appearance, this pain is in vain. Are you not willing to join the guard, or do you want to raise your own price?
Keith still didn't say anything. Kuhn sneered. The nail on the hand on the chair suddenly became longer. It penetrated Keith's body in an instant, and there was a faint light on his nails. Kiston's whole body trembled and looked extremely painful, but he still closed his eyes and closed his mouth without looking at him or saying a word to him.
Kuhn smiled and finally lost his patience. He was about to end Keith's life. Wang Qi hurriedly said, "Lord Kuhn, since you have waited for a while, why don't you wait for a while? After the lesson just now, his attitude may change."
"Well, I don't think so." Kuhn immediately denied it, but after thinking about it, he said, "But what you said is not unreasonable. It's a pity that you have wasted so many days and killed him in the end. Well, what do you think should be done?
Wang Qi said, "Lord Kuhn, why don't you give him another time to think about it? When he recognizes the reality, he will not dare to disobey you again.
Kuhn tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the chair and bowed his head to think about Wang Qi's words. But Keith suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the two people. The focus was on Wang Qi. Wang Qi knew that he must have heard his voice. Fortunately, his eyes were not emotional, and he couldn't see any surprise or surprise at all. He didn't look at him at the moment, but said to Kuhn, "Lord Kuhn, it seems that he wants to change his mind."
Kuhn took back his nails, stood up, and said with a smile, "You are finally willing to open your eyes and answer me, is my housekeeper right?"
Keith looked at Kuhn and said, "I never listen to other people's coercion. This is my creed. You don't have to bother."
Kuhn smiled and said, "I don't think so. Now that you open your eyes and are willing to talk to me, isn't it a step forward than before?" He took a few steps and said, "What's more, we just cooperate. When did we become coercion? In fact, it's very simple for me to deal with Eagle. They don't have to use your strength. It's just to have a more dramatic effect. In order to make Igel a shameful clown, I chose you. For you in a desperate situation. Speaking of which, isn't it a huge advantage?
Keith hummed and said, "I know your means. If I listen to you, I will never have a chance to get rid of it. Will you unconditionally promise me to join the praetorian guard?"
Kuhn smiled and said, "Of course, I will do some tampering on you, but that's all to ensure our smooth cooperation. Otherwise, if you recover your strength and run away, I won't have the leisure to find you. When you kill Eagle and complete my fate mocking plan, I will naturally release my control over you. How, if you agree, let go of your consciousness. I just need to put a seed of power in it, and it won't have any impact on you.
Keith said, "Mr. Kuhn, you keep your word more than anyone else. I don't believe that you will let me go at that time. I'd rather die than become your puppet."
Kuhn said strangely, "Is my reputation so bad? It really makes me sad." With that, he straightened his face, walked to Keith, grabbed him, and put him close to his face and said, "You don't seem to understand your situation. In my hands, death is the easiest end. I prefer to make life better than death. I wanted to make you the main ingredient for the next dinner, but since you are so afraid of death, I have changed my mind.
He threw Keith to the ground, and his nails stretched again, diverged, and penetrated Keith's whole body. Keith's whole body trembled like a sieve, sweating profusely and clenching his teeth, which was obviously extremely painful. Kuhn tortured him while chatting with Wang Qi. After half a day, Keith was completely weak, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to fall down. Kuhn's face showed disdain, pulled out his nails, restored his hand to the original state, and then said, "This guy is really a stone in the pit. It's smelly and hard. He won't change his mind if he doesn't taste it. Emis, take him down and let him sober up.
Wang Qi saluted and then dragged Keith down. Soon after, he came out of the basement, stretched out his hand, and the wall suddenly fell.
Kuhn smiled and said, "Do you think that person will obey me?"
Wang Qi said, "I'm not sure, he seems to be tough. However, Lord Kuhn, I have a suggestion that you can change it, just let him swear to be loyal to the agreement between you and him. I think he is likely to obey. The tougher he is, the more important he is to vows. In this way, he will not have the scruples of being controlled, and you can achieve your goal.
Kuhn smiled and said, "Ha ha, I don't think so. The more hard-liners are, the harder they will admit the oath. What's more, although his current strength is not very good, with the guardian power of the royal city, his strength can be greatly improved. With his potential, he can reach a very high level. Isn't it a great waste to lose such a good man? Do you think I will really let him go after the event?
Wang Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Lord Kuhn, you are already the second person in the divine realm, second only to His Majesty the Emperor. How much does a master who is far less than you do to you have? I don't think he should be worthless.
Kuhn smiled and said, "It's really a naive idea. It's completely the argument of the subordinates. For any superior, a capable subordinate is almost necessary. With the help of such a person, we can avoid doing everything by ourselves, especially for outsiders. Well, that's all for today." As he spoke, he stood up and left the room accompanied by Wang Qi.
In front of a room in the distance, Wang Qi sent Kuhn into the bedroom, then retreated, saluted and walked to his room.
At about midnight, Wang Qi quietly slipped out of his bedroom and walked carefully all the way to the previous room. He opened the wall of the closed cell, walked down quickly, and then saw Keith deep inside. Because he couldn't free Keith from the crystal cell, he didn't imprison him at all when he went down, but left him directly outside. Kuhn trusted him very much, and he didn't expect that anyone would dare to lie to him. He didn't know the purpose of Wang Qi's arrival. How could he have any precautions?
"Are you all right?" Wang Qi approached and leaned over and asked.
"Why did you come here? Why do you want to help me? Kuhn knew that he would not let you go. Keith sat on the ground and looked at him.
Wang Qi said, "Do you still need to ask this kind of question? You have saved my life. If I don't know that something has happened to you, forget it. If I know it, I still can't find a way to save you. Isn't it an ungrateful person? Stop talking. Can you stand up? It doesn't seem to work. Let me carry you. It's too dangerous here. We have to leave quickly.
As he spoke, he carried Keith on his back, quickly walked out, left Kuhn's mansion, and quietly fled to the periphery of the royal city. Out of the royal city, he walked through some remote streets for a moment, leaving Keith in a dark corner. He went back to his temporary home to get the aircraft, then came back to load Keith, and then drove out of the Sky City and flew to the southern sky.
