Bachelor Duldi Keynes left the lord's tent with a helpless look on his face, leading the rest of the group.
As soon as everyone left, Luo Wei skillfully put his hand into the collar of the maid Susan.
"Oh no, Master, oh, don't do this, please..."
Maid Susan, who was tied to the bed, was shaking all over and almost emotionally collapsed.
A harmless smile appeared on Luo Wei's lips.
As a lord, you can do whatever you want in your territory!
However, "doing whatever he wants" is not the purpose this time, and interrogating the maid is not the purpose either.
Even observing the reaction of Knight Charizard, who stood beside the bed with a look of disgust on her face, was only a secondary goal.
A 15-year-old maid was able to obtain a colorless and odorless expensive magical poison, and she didn't even run away afterwards, and there was not even a trace of the magical poison to be found -
Luo Wei could spot this obvious logical flaw without even lifting a finger.
As for observing the reaction of Knight Lady Charizard, it was just a test of her loyalty.
In Luo Wei's previous incarnation's impression, this female knight was loyal, but Luo Wei did not completely believe his predecessor's memory judgment.
Luo Wei had to rely on his own exploration to determine how loyal this female knight was.
The real purpose of "doing whatever he wants" this time is that Luo Wei wants to take this opportunity to explore what the "benefits" that come with traveling through time are.
It's normal to have no benefits before traveling through time. If there are no benefits after traveling through time, then wouldn't it be a waste of time to travel through time?
The sooner you understand the benefits of time travel, the sooner you will have the confidence to face desperate situations when you are targeted by assassinations.
What is certain at the moment is that there is no system, no panel, and no portable library.
There are no newbie gift packs, you can't walk across boundaries, and you can't communicate with gods.
There is only a mysterious burning feeling burning in the body, which needs to be explored, tested and developed by oneself.
Luo Wei clearly felt that when he "did whatever he wanted" to the maid Susan, the mysterious burning sensation in his body did not increase with the physiological changes.
This is enough to prove that the burning sensation that makes the body feel hot is not a physiological reaction, but a serious ability that comes with time travel.
Luo Wei remembered that before traveling through time, he had just summoned the "Ashes of Al'aan" phoenix mount in the "World of Warcraft" game.
Therefore, this mysterious burning sensation is likely related to the Phoenix mount.
However, Luo Wei tried more than a dozen ways to summon the Phoenix mount, and even rubbed his hands on his hips...
Apart from scaring the maid Susan even more and making the female knight Chariz beside the bed turn her head away in shame and anger and tighten her grip on the hilt of her sword, Luo Wei gained nothing.
Therefore, crossing welfare is not a calling.
Since it was not about summoning mounts and props from World of Warcraft, Luo Wei changed his idea.
When he completely relaxed his body and emptied his mind, he immediately felt the mysterious burning sensation, which was turning into a strange power spreading throughout his limbs.
The original magical poison pain in his body was also relieved.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Wei had a light feeling, as if he was about to float up.
I’ve found the trick!
Luo Wei was filled with excitement and was about to take a step further when Knight Charizard beside the bed finally lost his patience.
"Enough! I've had enough! Master Luo Wei! You're not even interrogating a prisoner!
"You... have been touching me for almost five minutes! And you haven't even asked a single question! Please stop going too far!"
"Oh? Didn't I ask yet?"
Luo Wei withdrew his consciousness and interrupted the test. "This must be because I'm poisoned. This damned magical toxin actually had such a shameless effect on me."
The corners of Chariz's mouth twitched slightly.
Luo Wei acted as if nothing had happened and took his hand out of Susan's maid's collar.
The coarse cloth collar of Susan's maid's dress was so stretched that it could no longer support her shoulders.
"So, Susan..."
Luo Wei leaned against the bedside weakly and panted for a while, "Tell me, why did you poison me?"
Maid Susan cried until she had no more tears left:
"No, Master, it really wasn't me! I don't know anything! I was just warming up the milk for you as usual. I really don't know why the milk was poisonous. Please, have mercy!"
Xia Lizi's expression was stern. "From milking to heating and serving the milk to the young master, you were the only one who handled the entire process. How dare you quibble? The sooner you admit it, the sooner I can give you a quick death and save you from this torture."
Maid Susan's emotions completely broke down. "No, wuwu, Lady Charizard, I don't want to die yet! Wuwuwu!"
Xia Liz wanted to re-examine the case, but Luo Wei raised his hand to interrupt:
"Susan, if I let you sleep with me in exchange for your life, would you be willing?"
"What!?"
Susan and Charlize were both stunned.
Maid Susan couldn't believe that things could be so simple.
Knight Xia Liz couldn't believe that Master Luo Wei was so absurd!
Xia Lizi's face was filled with rage: "Master Luo Wei! She is the one who is trying to murder you! What you are doing is ridiculous and shameless! What's more, she will never agree to you!"
"I promise!" Maid Susan's eyes were filled with gratitude. "I promise!"
"You guys..." Xia Liz almost fainted, "Alright, I'm leaving!"
"No, you can't leave yet. In fact, I still need your help—"
Luo Wei tried hard to sit up straight, "Oh, my damn body, it's so hard to even stand up."
Chariz's hand rested on the hilt of the sword.
Seeing Xia Lizi's eyes full of murderous intent but still forcing herself not to draw her sword, Luo Wei smiled and lowered his voice:
"What I mean is that Susan wasn't the one who poisoned the person. At best, she was just the one who was framed."
Susan was so excited that her whole body was twitching. "Oh! Master! Great Master! You still understand me!"
Xia Lizi was stunned. "Master, what are you talking about? You are not going to sleep with her just to--"
Luo Wei analyzed calmly:
"First of all, the magical poison I was poisoned with was made from at least a Level 2 magical material. This kind of magical material requires a professional assassin to mix. A kitchen maid like Susan, who can't even read, has no chance of coming into contact with it.
"Secondly, it's unlikely that Susan was ordered to do this. If she was, she would have received a huge benefit and prepared a way out in advance. But when you arrested Susan, she was completely confused and had no intention of escaping.
“Also, I just used the request to sleep with her to deliberately test how much she values her chastity. Obviously, in her eyes, her chastity is not as important as her life.
"She's not opposed to sleeping with the lord as a maid, so naturally, she wouldn't have any motive to attack me out of fear that I, the new lord, would sleep with her.
"So, I don't need to see any evidence to infer that she is not the real murderer.
"Poisoning me wouldn't benefit her in the slightest, and the person who really wants to kill me is in the dark, and should still be somewhere in this manor."
After Luo Wei finished speaking, he looked into Xia Lizi's eyes, waiting for Xia Lizi's response.
Xia Liz widened her eyes and looked at her young master in disbelief.
This young master seemed like a ridiculous, vulgar and shameless aristocrat a minute ago, but at this moment he showed extremely calm and meticulous thinking.
Xia Liz couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. She wasn't sure whether the young master in front of her had his brain damaged by the poison or had become enlightened by the poison.
Or maybe, the young master is actually smart, but he had too many things against his will when he was in the territory of Zilin Town, so he has been secretly enduring?
hiss……
Xia Liz's fingers on the hilt of the sword unconsciously loosened. "What you did just now was just a test?"
"What else?" Luo Wei frowned and asked, "Am I really a shameless and vulgar young nobleman in your eyes?"
Xia Liz pursed her lips, neither saying yes nor no.
Maid Susan couldn't help but ask timidly, "Master...when do we start?"
Luo Wei smiled soothingly, "Don't worry, don't worry."
Charlize frowned again, "In other words, everyone in the manor is a suspect? Then aren't you afraid that I'm the assassin?"
Luo Wei sighed, his face full of sincerity: "To be honest, of course I am afraid. But I also believe that a female knight as beautiful as you can't be an assassin.
"If I'm wrong, then dying at the hands of a beautiful woman like you is better than being assassinated by a magical poison for no apparent reason."
Xia Lizi's fair and pretty face was serious: "Master! Please pay attention to your words and decency! Don't say these inexplicable nonsense to me!"
Luo Wei shrugged and smiled slightly.
In fact, Luo Wei did not determine that Xia Liz was not the assassin because of her long legs.
Logically speaking, if Charizard really wanted to kill him, there would be no need to resort to poisoning and framing him. She could have just found an opportunity to drag him into the woods and done it in seconds.
In addition to the logical impossibility, Luo Wei also learned from the fused memories that Xia Liz's parents died when she was seven years old. It was the then Baroness of Zilin Territory, who was also the biological mother of Young Master Luo Wei, who adopted the young Xia Liz.
The reason why Xia Liz became the only female knight in Zilin Territory was all because of the large amount of magical resources provided by Baroness Zilin.
When Baroness Zilin died, Xia Liz knelt beside her bed and vowed to protect her only blood descendant, Luo Wei, for the rest of her life.
After this magical poison assassination, everyone was thinking about their own escape route, but Xia Liz seemed to have lost her life goal, confused and blaming herself.
Combining the history in his memory and the many secret observations and tests he conducted on Xia Liz after she woke up, Luo Wei was basically certain that Xia Liz had no problem with her loyalty.
Seeing that Luo Wei didn't say much, Xia Lizi couldn't help but ask, "If Susan wasn't the assassin, then who could be the real assassin? There are so many people in the manor, should we arrest them one by one and torture them?"
"No, that's too much trouble and may not work."
Luo Wei said without hesitation: "I have a simpler and more brutal plan that can solve the problem tonight."
Xia Lizi's eyes lit up, "How simple and crude?"
Luo Wei straightened his back, assessed his physical condition, and then said seriously:
"Come on, get on the bed first."
