Chapter 223 The Viscount's Funeral 17
What does Butler Gabriel want her a little maid for?
Suspicion flashed across Vanessa's eyes, after thinking for a moment, she decided to follow the servants to meet the mysterious butler.

Li Yu also noticed the movement on Vanessa's side, knocked the hand holding the fence as if unintentionally, and then continued to walk upstairs as if nothing happened.

As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, Li Yu caught sight of a shadow passing by out of the corner of his eye, but when Li Yu turned his head and looked closely, there was nothing there.

Rubbing his thumb, Li Yu turned and walked towards the direction where the shadow appeared.

Just passing by the first room, the originally closed door suddenly opened silently and automatically, and the dark and dark room issued a silent invitation to the outside.

Li Yu stopped and tried to look into the room, but his vision was blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Turning his eyes to the open door, Li Yu reached out and touched it, and it was warm.

It's strange, it's a cloudy sky outside the Viscount's mansion, and the body feels quite cold.After entering the Viscount's Mansion, it was extremely warm, even the door and walls were warm to the touch, as if they had their own life.

This Viscount's mansion is really weird...

Do you want to enter this even weirder room in front of you?

Li Yu smiled silently. It seemed inappropriate not to go in with such a seductive and warm invitation.

After thinking about it, Li Yu stepped in without hesitation.

The moment Li Yu fully stepped into the room, the warm door closed automatically and silently.

The doors and windows in the room were closed tightly, thick curtains covered the entire wall, and the light was very dim.

However, there was an open box in the corner emitting a shining light, illuminating the outline of the furnishings in the room.

There are two rows of shelves leaning against the wall. One row of shelves contains heavy book-like items, and the other row of shelves contains various vases.

On the other side of the two rows of shelves, there are countless half-open boxes stacked, the contents of the boxes are almost overflowing.

The shiny box was covered with a layer of cloth.It is conceivable that when the thick cloth is lifted, the light in the box should be able to illuminate the entire room.

This seems to be a storage room for sundries, but these sundries seem to be of extraordinary value...

After thinking for a moment, Li Yu came to the glowing box and lifted off the thick cloth covering it. Inside the box were night pearls of different sizes. The full of night pearls brightened the dark room a lot.

With the illumination of the night pearl, Li Yu looked around the room again, and found that the things piled up here were more valuable than she imagined, they could be called treasures.

Boxes of jewelry were randomly piled up, and gold coins overflowing the boxes were everywhere...

With so many treasures randomly piled up, it seems that Viscount Payne is not only rich, but also treats money like dung.

Lamenting the gap between the rich and the poor, Li Yu picked out a medium-sized luminous pearl from a box full of luminous pearls, held it in his hand as a light source, and began to carefully search for things in the room.

Leaving aside the dazzling treasures, Li Yu took the Ye Mingzhu to the shelf where books were placed on the other side.

Opening a book at random, not knowing which ethnic language it was written in, Li Yu found that she couldn't understand it, and the system did not automatically translate it into the player's native language as usual.

Frowning, Li Yu put down the book in his hand and turned to look at other books, but the result was the same. Li Yu had never seen or recognized the text on it.

For a moment, Li Yu wondered if he had suffered from being uneducated.

Reluctantly searching for other books on the shelf again, Li Yu really found a text she could understand.It was a torn page in a heavy book, full of messy notes.

"Magic...ruby...blood sacrifice...special bloodline...continuous funeral...four times...death...eternal life...god...queen...viscount...unique...sacrifice..."

Li Yu frowned as he looked at the scribbled and unintelligible notes.

These words, it is not impossible to connect them into a complete sentence, but it is very awkward and weird to read.

A ruby ​​with magic requires a blood sacrifice to open it?People with special blood hold consecutive funerals, causing four deaths to achieve eternal life?Will the gods bestow upon the queen?The Viscount provoked a unique sacrifice?

It seems that something is not quite right...

In any case, the three words ruby, blood sacrifice, and viscount are definitely the key points.

Could it be that the viscount's funeral was not only a deliberate murder by many people, but also related to mysterious magic and blood sacrifice?
Li Yu pinched the paper with a serious face.

blood sacrifice...

What is the purpose of using the viscount's death as a blood sacrifice?Eternal life bestowed by the gods?So who will be the ultimate beneficiary?

Queen……

This queen who has never appeared but has always existed in everyone's mouth, is she just a background npc?Does she have any other role besides sending detectives on the scene?

Just as Li Yu was letting his imagination run wild and making various guesses, a certain box in the corner suddenly shook.

Li Yu froze, and turned to look at the moving box.

There are mice?

Not really.

There should be no other living things in this room except her.

The doors and windows are closed tightly, and it is impossible for the wind to blow in and cause noise.

From this point of view, it is the same as opening the door, deliberately luring her to check...

What will be in that box?

Li Yu glanced at the torn paper in his hand and thought, could it be a magic ruby?
After a while, Li Yu put the worn-out notes back in the book's place, and then turned to the box that made the noise.

Taking a photo with the Ye Mingzhu, the box that made the noise really contained bright gemstones in various colors.

One of the rubies, the size of a pigeon egg, looked extraordinarily beautiful. The ruby ​​exuded a charming light, luring Li Yu to touch it.

This is too obvious...

Li Yu stared at the ruby ​​without moving.

Seeing that Li Yu was not tempted, the box containing the gems shook slightly again, and he piled the bright rubies to the top of the center, making a posture of many stars supporting the moon.

What happens when you take the ruby?

Die instantly, or turn into a monster?

Li Yu felt that his hand was about to move, and a desire to possess the ruby ​​rose in Li Yu's heart.

"Pick it up, dear child, pick it up." A bewitching voice echoed in Li Yu's mind.

Struggle flashed across Li Yu's eyes, and then he was bewildered by greedy desire, and he couldn't help reaching out towards Ruby.

Seeing that the slender knuckles were getting closer to the ruby, and the warm skin was about to touch the dazzling ruby, the hand suddenly turned a corner and picked up the sapphire next to the ruby.

"This sapphire is really good." Li Yu admired while playing with the sapphire, and there was no trace of greed in his eyes.

There was a moment of dead silence in the whole room.

"Doesn't Viscount Greenville like rubies?" Butler Gabriel's voice came from the door.
