Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 35: Go to your house at night to solve your needs

Backlund Queen District, Viscount Glint's villa.

In the afternoon, Audrey Hall came to the hall with her personal maid Anne, but she was not there to attend the ball, but to look for someone.

Fortunately.

She found her target at a glance——

At this time, Youjin was sitting on the sofa not far away reading a book.

"Mr. Ash."

Audrey walked over in small steps and sat down next to Yu Jin with her lips pursed.

"Miss Audrey, what's up?"

Yu Jin turned around and looked at the girl politely but in surprise.

"that……"

Audrey stretched out her white and tender little hand and showed Yu Jin the ring she was wearing on the little finger of her right hand. She whispered, "I'm sorry, it appeared here after the last party, and I don't know why."

"I wanted to return it to you that day, but I didn't find the opportunity until now. I'm really sorry."

Audrey said this, and suddenly lowered her head in shame.

In her opinion, Yu Jin would be very anxious if he lost such an important thing.

That's why she wanted to find the embers as soon as possible and return the ring.

However, she and Yu Jin had no direct contact information. She only knew that Yu Jin was a night watchman of the Church of Evernight, but she didn't know where he lived exactly. She couldn't just go to St. Samuel Church to look for him, right?
She knew it would be useless even if she went, after all, Ember didn't live in the church.

It was not until Greylint held another ball that she finally got the chance to meet Ember.

"No, you don't have to."

Yu Jin reached out and pressed on the back of the girl's hand, stopping her from taking off the ring. "This ring is my advance payment to you as an exhibit. You can wear it first. If there ever comes a day when you really need it, it won't be too late to pay me then."

"But this is too precious..."

Audrey hesitated and wanted to refuse.

The value of the exhibits is to be used for display, or to put it bluntly, they are being used as "experimental subjects".

But I wonder how many people are willing to be part of this experiment.

"No need to refuse."

Ember shook his head and said, "The value of sacrifice is determined by the person being saved, and to me it is not very valuable. It cannot be said to be worthless, but at least it can be said to be better than nothing."

"and."

Yu Jin waved his hand, and two crude emerald rings appeared in his palm. As the girl's mouth opened into an O shape in shock, he calmly said, "I have other rings like this, so I don't need this one."

"That……"

Audrey pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before whispering, "If that's the case, then I'll take it. But..."

Audrey paused, then continued, "I will pay Mr. Ash one thousand pounds for every month I wear it. If the ring is damaged or 'lost' because of me, I will pay you ten thousand pounds in one lump sum. Is that okay?"

Although ten thousand pounds was a huge sum of money, Audrey was still a little nervous.

Because in her opinion, the value of this ring is far more than that.

But after all, she is not yet an adult.

If she waits until she comes of age, although she will not be able to inherit the title, the wealth her father leaves her will be at least over 300,000 gold pounds.

But for her now, her pocket money is only 10,000 pounds.

Therefore, I can only pay 10,000 gold pounds in one lump sum, and the rest can only be paid in installments.

"Ok."

Yu Jin stared at the girl for a long time before he nodded helplessly at the girl's firm gaze.

But his expression was also a little strange.

Am I considered being kept?
"A thousand gold pounds, every month? And a ring?!"

Not far behind, Anne, the personal maid, followed her duties as a maid and did not follow too closely nor eavesdrop, but because Audrey did not deliberately lower her voice, she heard some unclear conversation and could not help but open her mouth wide.

She didn't hear what the two said, but she could guess from their words.

My young lady seemed to want to support that pretty boy? She even secretly got married to him?

How can this be possible! Miss Audrey, you are a noble, the only daughter of Earl Hall!

Annie gritted her teeth and suppressed the urge to step forward and dissuade them.

She was just a maid, and interfering in her master's affairs was undoubtedly an oversight.

But she couldn't just watch Miss Audrey fall into the abyss, so...

"I'm sorry, Miss Audrey."

Maid Annie lowered her head silently and began to think about how to report what happened here to Earl Hall without leaving any trace.

"Miss Audrey."

Fors, who was wearing a beige stand-up collar dress, came up to the two of them with a smile on her face. "I would like to borrow Mr. Ash's hand. Do you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Audrey's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly put on a polite smile and gracefully stood up from the sofa, holding her long skirt. "I'm going to the bathroom. Excuse me."

Audrey remembered that Ms. Fors seemed to be in a bad condition and was close to losing control.

From now on, although Yu Jin did not choose to capture him, the two sides must have established a certain connection.

Although Ms. Fors was smiling, there was a lingering gloom and anxiety in her eyes.

He must be looking for Ember for some urgent matter.

Is it the same as her?
Fors watched Audrey leave with a smile, and sat down gracefully beside Yu Jin. Then she suddenly turned her gaze to Yu Jin and stared at him straight.

"Is something wrong?"

Yu Jin was a little confused by the look on his face and asked.

"You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Fors opened his eyes wide, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Today is July 7th, you promised me!"

"I haven't forgotten."

Yu Jin looked at her calmly and said slowly, "But you only have needs at night, right? I will go to your house to help you solve the problem at night. Do you have any other questions?"

"No."

Fors was about to say something but stopped herself. She felt like she had punched cotton and her energy was instantly deflated.

You will only hear the mumbling when the moon is full, and the other party only needs to come to your house before the moon is full to help solve the problem.

After all.

Although I am the one who is tortured by the mumbling, the one who least wants to lose control may be the other person.

After all, once you lose control, the other party will have to bear the consequences of the chaos.

On the contrary, the other party was willing to take her, a Beyonder who could lose control at any time, as an informant, and was willing to take the risk of losing control to help her solve the torture of mumbling. This actually meant that she owed him a favor.

Doesn't that mean I owe him something?

When Fors thought of this, he suddenly felt guilty.

You are clearly in the wrong but still come to cause trouble. What if the other party gets angry and gives up on "treating" you and arrests you directly?
"sorry."

Ms. Fors whispered from the bottom of her heart.

"It's ok."

Ember replied casually, obviously not taking it seriously.

However, not far behind, Ms. Xiu, who was only 1.5 meters tall, couldn't help but open her eyes wide.

"At night? Go to my house? Take care of your needs? And you're sorry?!"

"Fors, what are you doing, Fors!!"

She seemed to have heard something terrible.
