Working Prophet.

Chapter 402 Truth or Dare
Ruby chatted with Raymond for a while, and soon figured out which family the fastest horses in the stable and their owners belonged to.

At the same time, he made indirect remarks and asked if anyone else had approached here during this time, or had wandered around.

From Raymond's answer, Ruby has identified several suspicious targets, but feels that these people have little chance of succeeding, and it is difficult to break out of the castle with just a few fast horses.

The guards of the Arias family are not for display, especially the archers on the city wall.

Even if their arrows couldn't pierce the steel armor of the knights, they could easily hit the horses under their crotches.

Could it be that Herodotus planned to pay a price to get rid of Ilea this time, and the assassin had already made up his mind to die?

It's not impossible, but Ruby still feels like she's missing something.

She left the stables, returned to the castle, and climbed directly to the highest floor. She stood in front of the narrow stone window and looked out. From here, she could see a large wheat field, and the wheat inside was growing gratifyingly.

If nothing else, this year's green field will usher in an unprecedented bumper harvest.

But this is not the focus of Ruby's attention right now. She shifted her gaze from the wheat fields to the path outside the castle, and saw a carriage approaching from a distance.

Due to the distance, Ruby couldn't see the patterns painted on the flag clearly, but presumably the nobles who lived far away arrived in a hurry until the banquet was about to start.

This was a normal thing, but looking at the carriage, Ruby was suddenly startled, then thought of something, and trotted down from the castle.

Instead of looking for the owner of the carriage, Ruby came to the southwest tower.

A team of guards there had just finished switching defenses with their colleagues who had come to take over, withdrew from the city wall, rested on the second floor of the tower, and played poker.

This kind of small game unique to Shuangxiu Cult has quickly become popular in the green field since Li Yu brought it to this plane.

At present, the main games are comparing the size, blackjack, pulling the train and fighting the landlord.

Especially Doudizhu, it can be said that it is suitable for all ages, as long as there are enough three people, you can come and play anytime, anywhere.

And after the white paper was developed, the last factor that limited the popularity of poker-not enough cards did not exist.

The few times Li Yu came back recently, he felt as if he had gone to the wrong set. On the edge of the field, at the entrance of the village, on the side of the road...you can see people playing cards in many places. I didn't know that I thought this was the world of "The Witcher".

Miss Rabbit's card addiction is not small, and it works from top to bottom. Of course, other people in Teacup Castle quickly fell in love with this tabletop sport.

However, Alfred did not allow the guards to gamble while playing cards. First, if someone loses quickly, it will easily destroy the good atmosphere in the team. Second, he is worried that outsiders will use this to set up a situation and threaten the guards on duty.

So the guards replaced it with other things, such as the winner can drink the loser's wine, or knock the loser's ass with the hilt of a sword... In short, all kinds of weird bets emerge in endlessly, and every game is very lively.

Ruby's first job when she first came to Teacup Castle was to do laundry for the guards, so she was very familiar with many of the guards, plus she was now Ilea's personal maid, and she was not censored when she entered the tower. stop.

But Ruby didn't take it lightly, because coming here was equivalent to being on Alfred's territory, and she was also afraid of the old knight, especially when she also concealed something.

Ruby was thinking quickly in her mind how to get the information she wanted without attracting other people's attention.

When she came to the second floor of the tower, someone soon saw her.

This little maid who only arrived at Teacup Castle more than a month ago already has a great reputation among the guards of the Arias family.

The main reason is that Ruby is beautiful, kind and sincere, and soon attracted the love of a large group of unmarried young guards.

However, before these people had time to confess their love, Ruby was spotted by Alisa, and not long after that, she was recommended to Ilea to become her personal maid, achieving N consecutive jumps in the workplace.

While being happy for Ruby, the teenagers couldn't express the words in their hearts, but they were still very happy to see Ruby again anyway.

Someone asked, "Does Lady Ilea have any orders?"

"No, miss, she took Grisa to deal with the nobles in the castle and gave me a vacation, but everyone else in the castle is basically busy right now, and no one can play with me."

"So you came to find us?" A young guard with blond hair said happily.

"Yes, I remember that there should be cards to play here."

There were some people who worried that Ruby would become as arrogant as Grisa after becoming Ilea's personal maid and would no longer be willing to associate with them, but now Ruby's answer personally shattered this doubt.

Charlene still looks like the kind and sincere Charlene, and she hasn't changed in any way because of the change of position.

Seeing that no one answered her, Ruby said again, "Why, don't you welcome me?"

"How is it possible?" A middle-aged man with full beards stood up from the wooden bench, "Little Charlene, you can take over from me. I just plan to go to sleep for a while."

"Come on, Bass, you're just about to lose and want to escape."

"Nonsense, obviously I let you go, otherwise you will give me a horse in a while." The bearded man said it seriously, but his movements were very fast, and he directly took the deck of cards in his hand. It was thrown under the pile, and two handfuls were rubbed.

His move drew boos.

The other two at the card table also scolded him for being mean, but seeing the bearded man replaced by the young and beautiful Ruby, they raised their hands in agreement.

So he didn't say anything, and quickly reshuffled the cards.

There are special referees responsible for dealing cards, each person has 17 cards, and another 3 cards are reserved for landlord cards.

Before calling the landlord, Ruby suddenly said, "What are you betting on just now, it seems quite interesting."

"Uh, we just said... whoever loses will give the winner a horse."

"I can also brush horses, but I don't have a war horse." Ruby said distressedly.

"Then don't gamble, just play casually."

"But in this case, the game doesn't feel so interesting."

The two looked at each other, and then looked at Ruby, "Then what do you want to do, Charlene?"

"Well, let's play another little game called Truth or Dare."

"truth or Dare?"

"Yes, the rules are like this, the person who loses in the card game has to choose one of truth or adventure to complete."

"What is the truth, what is a big adventure." Others in the room also became interested at this time.

"The truth is that the winner asks a question, and the loser swears in the name of Saturday that your answer is true. As for the big adventure, the winner says an order, and the loser must complete it."
