Chapter 81: 7th instance: Were you such a resolute and upright person before? (part 1 of 4)

The middle-aged man was perplexed, and was unable to make sense of what Gu Wuji wanted to do. But at this very moment, this ‘daughter’ showed a deep sense of unpredictability. He didn’t have the guts to disobey the other, so he honestly revealed everything he knew at once.

The owner of the castle was said to hold a grand banquet in three days time, which lead to a slight lack of work force. This temporary hiring only needed three people. The prerequisites were very simple: must be a young woman, in good health, and needs to personally register. It would be good enough so long as these three prerequisites were met.

Gu Wuji nodded, without a doubt, no matter how he listens to this, going in was equivalent to becoming a cannon fodder. However, under the requisite of the current mainline task, the players will still rush in, even while clearly knowing that this would be equivalent to throwing their lives away.

Anyhow, there would definitely be more than this method in order to mix into the castle in this instance, otherwise, there will also be an extremely fierce competition ahead. It was also at this moment when Gu Wuji developed a slight interest in finding out what other methods were available.

But before that……

Gu Wuji went to the cabinet beside the bed, and said to the middle-aged man: “Quickly open this cabinet.”

The middle-aged man’s expression changed, “This isn’t appropriate.”

“If you’re unwilling to, I can do it myself. But if I do so, who knows if this cabinet will still remain the same as before.” Although Gu Wuji said this casually, but this made the other party feel a terrible sense of oppression.

Heaven knows what bitter experiences this daughter encountered outside when she was away from the village, which actually caused such a great change in her temperament.

The middle-aged man opened the cabinet while covered in cold sweat. Unsurprisingly, the contents inside were the few belongings left in the family.

Gu Wuji directly picked up the bag of gold coins, and handed it to the woman next to him, “Take this money, and look for someone to fix this house, build a new bed, then finally get some food.”

Even though Gu Wuji, as a player, can completely turn a blind eye to the problems of other people. But, so long as everything’s under wraps, he won’t allow such things to happen.

The woman was still anxious after taking the money, “Is this really okay? We still owe so much money to the casino, if they learn of this…… They will certainly not let us off easily.”

“Don’t worry.” Gu Wuji appeased, “About the casino matters, this guy and I, will go to the casino and settle the matters. You can be at ease and go do those things.”

The middle-aged man shivered, then hurriedly said: “The casino’s people aren’t easy to deal with. If you go there now, it will simply be marching to your death.”

“I’m not going to do anything bad.” Gu Wuji looked at the middle-aged man with a look of disbelief, “Will a good person like me raise a hand against other people’s casino just because of owing debts?”

Middle-aged man: “……” You didn’t give the slightest impression of a good person from the beginning until now!

——

Gu Wuji went out the house, and observed his surroundings.

The sun had just risen, and the village was full of mist, which hampered the visibility. But this mist was lighter, unlike those obstacle-like existence in the general instance. As one can freely enter and exit.

The thing that made him surprise was, when looking from this far-off area, he could unexpectedly see almost the entirety of the castle. It was undoubtedly a magnificent and ancient structure, which seemed deathly silent at daytime, and only comes full of life at night.

The villagers weren’t curious of this at all. After all, they were already having a hard time just by surviving, so, where would they have the time to be concerned of any feudal lord?

Gu Wuji also made some inquiries regarding this matter with the stepfather as well as the woman, and gained a general understanding about the situation in this village.

Although this was a very impoverished village, but there were still many amenities available, as well as a few rich individuals. Like that sturdy middle-aged man, whom he met along the way last night when he came back with Brother Lu. That man should be the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop, and can be considered as one of those with good circumstances in the village. He was also very enthusiastic in helping others.

Moreover, in these recent days, the village suddenly became extremely dangerous. People would frequently go missing at night. The occasional eyewitnesses, who would see the body of the deceased, could also make out a figure of a huge werewolf next to the corpse from afar.

So the talks about a werewolf hiding in the village spread like wildfire. This news made all the villagers panic, that they dared not go out at nighttime. But even this couldn’t stop the occurrence of things.

Gu Wuji couldn’t help from thinking, “……” Could there also be a killer werewolf setting included in this instance?

As for the topic pertaining to the feudal lord, the two of them only knew very little. All they knew was that the previous feudal lord was a middle-aged man, with a very violent temper, who then died due to an unknown reason.

Then came the other nobleman, who took his place and was said to be a relative of the Emperor, with an extremely noble bloodline. Not only did he have an incredibly handsome appearance, he even had an extraordinary temperament. Which naturally made the girls in the village rack their brains to find ways to enter the castle at first.

But who would’ve known that the people who entered the castle would never be heard from anymore? This was the beginning of everyone’s fear. After this, there were no longer any girls who had any interest in entering the castle.

Gu Wuji listened to this with a pensive expression. The stepfather was full of cold sweat, as he repeatedly swore that he absolutely no longer had any intention in sending Gu Wuji there.
