I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 156 1.11 2 The Hall of Amnesia
In the busy kitchen, the cooks each had a clear division of labor and were doing their own tasks.

Wearing a white apron, Mu Yegui cracked eggs while carefully recalling the memory of needing to find the golden key to open the gate of the East Tower.

'Kala's' distraction resulted in her accidentally crushing an egg with her bare hands.

Mu Yegui blinked, feeling surprised by his own astonishing strength.

She dried her hands with a towel, then tugged at the sleeve of the woman next to her, handed her an egg, and asked, "Can you crush an egg with your bare hands?"

The woman rolled her eyes at Mu Yegui and urged, "Only monsters can crush this with their bare hands. Hurry up and get to work!"

Mu Yegui gave an "oh" and continued cracking eggs. She had learned from the maid that she had been sent there by someone higher up, but no one knew exactly who that person was. No one told her what she was supposed to do, only that she should cooperate with all her actions and guide her to meet a nobleman.

Why would a lowly third-class maid be able to meet a nobleman?

Besides the first-class personal servants, second-class servants could serve meals or clean the front rooms. As for third-class maids, they were not allowed to appear in front of any guests; they could only stay in a corner of the castle to do their own things and were not allowed to even take a step into the front hall.

Mu Yegui secretly went to the library to find this information after hearing what that woman said, though at the time his main reason was to look up information about the Golden Key.

However, this created a huge loophole. After receiving the implanted memories, she learned that she had been hiding from the guards all the way here, but according to the woman's words, she was sent here by her superiors.

It's a very contradictory statement, but if the person in charge is an accomplice, then everything makes sense. Therefore, the most urgent task now is to find the accomplice who arranged for her to come here and obtain some basic information.

She didn't know why she had lost her memory, but it wasn't a good thing. The lack of memory would hinder her from doing many things, and she needed to understand her situation first.

but……

First, test the waters to see what the consequences would be if she did something inappropriate for her status, and then decide what to do next.

Thinking of this, Mu Yegui turned the egg in her hand to the head chef and said expressionlessly, "I'm not feeling well."

"Oh? I see..." the head chef said with a troubled expression. "Then you should go back to your room and rest. Don't go to the front and disturb our distinguished guests."

Surprisingly, she was agreed to without being asked anything, even though she hadn't done anything befitting a patient.

Mu Yegui walked out filled with doubt, but instead of obediently heading back to her room, she headed towards the library. They were still entertaining distinguished guests, so no one would be going to the library. Even if they were, she was confident she could glean some information from them.

"Knight Commander, has the guard been tighter than usual lately? The soldiers are complaining that the guard duty is too long and they don't even have a chance to go home, even though nothing has happened." A man in a brown academic robe stood next to a white-haired man with a high ponytail and asked.

“I only manage the Knights, not the Guards. You shouldn’t be saying that to me,” Jafar said, looking at the book in his hand without turning to look at the man.

The man frowned and said, "But... I don't know the legion commander... so I can only ask you to do it for me."

“I don’t know him either,” Jafar said slowly, blinking his sea-blue eyes.

Mu Yegui stood at the door, then went inside and went behind the bookshelf closest to them, pretending to look for books, but actually eavesdropping on their conversation.

“How could the Knight Commander not recognize you? Don’t you greet each other every day?”

"Huh? Is he the legion commander?" Jafar said belatedly. "I always thought he was just an ordinary soldier trying to win me over. Oh, he's the legion commander. I didn't remember him because he didn't have any outstanding features."

The man: "..." It's the same person greeting you every day, you should be able to remember their voice! Jafar retorted, "I remember their voice, but I don't know who they are." Being face-blind doesn't mean having a bad memory, he just can't recognize faces, but he can still remember people if he remembers key features.

A clear, ringing bell rang out.

The man glanced at the real, swaying bell hanging on the wall, his face showing a hint of apology, and said, "Sorry, the master has rung the bell. It seems we have to stop here."

"Take care~" Jafar waved to the man, then continued looking down at the book in front of him.

Mu Yegui looked up at the books on the shelf in front of her, but still couldn't find the one she needed. She leaned forward and suddenly became curious about the book that Jiafaer was reading.

"Who exactly started this rumor that there's treasure in the castle..." Jafar scratched his head, muttering a complaint as he looked at his book.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback. A treasure?

Rumors circulate that there is treasure in the castle...

So what does this have to do with her coming to the castle to find the golden key to open the gate of the East Tower?
And why did she lose these memories?

Mu Yegui reached out and took a book from the bookshelf, but instead of taking it down completely, she gently pressed it against the spine with her fair fingertips.

With a crisp 'thud,' the book fell heavily to the ground.

Jafar was startled and stood up, walking towards the source of the sound with a puzzled look on his face. He saw a maid dressed in third-class servant's clothes squatting on the ground picking up books. Her long, misty gray curly hair was tied up in a pretty bun and hung down her back.

"It seems somewhat familiar..." He had seen this hair color once before. Although he didn't recognize the person, he certainly hadn't forgotten it. Because the misty gray was only one shade darker than the Duke's misty white hair, Jafar couldn't possibly have forgotten Mu Yegui for that reason alone.

Mu Yegui stood up, holding the book, and turned her head to see Jiafaer standing not far away, her sea-blue eyes filled with a hint of probing. She seemed to be 'startled' and took a few steps back, saying in a cold, expressionless voice, "I didn't do anything."

The tone that should have been one of panic was delivered as a statement, even delivered with a sense of self-righteousness.

Jafar gave Mu Yegui a bright smile, his dimples adding to his cuteness. "We meet again. How have you been?"

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback. This person knew her, and perhaps she could get some information from him.

She tiptoed to put the book back on the shelf, turned to look at Jafar, and asked, "How many days has passed?"

This sentence has several meanings: one, it means several days have passed since our last meeting; two, it means several days have passed since I arrived here. No matter how Jafar answers, she will involuntarily reveal some information about time. Furthermore, she can deduce from the way this sentence is phrased whether her arrival here is related to Jafar.

If Jafar knew she was here, he would definitely interpret it as the second meaning and then give her the answer she wanted.

The Amnesia Corridor was modified from that script, so the daytime content is still the script content, and the nighttime is the Amnesia Corridor.

Also, I will release the novel on April 1st. I will update it with 10,000 words for the first three days, and then I will continue to update it with 2 words per day. As for extra updates, it depends on whether I have time at that time (after all, I still have to work).

It will reverse the V, but only starting from the title of 1.10; the preceding parts are still free.
