Chapter 307: Under the Mist (16)

Hugh has been a great help. ”

Luna wasn't overly surprised to hear Mr. Betsy's words. It's just that Mr. Betsy walked more and more slowly, and even his voice was low. It seemed to Luna that something on the stairs kept Mr. Betsy from approaching. But is there anything terrible going on in Betsy's Manor? Luna almost laughs at the thought of herself.

Isn't it yourself who is feared?

The more Luna thought about it, the more excited she became, and she wanted to see what horrible creatures were still on the stairs. On the one hand, Luna has to act like a guest who cares about the owner of the manor, and on the other hand, Luna has to think about Mr. Betsy's behavior. She took a few quick steps, paused, and glanced at Mr. Betsy as she walked behind.

Suddenly, from the third floor, Perry shouted, "Mr. Betsy, where is Hugh, but your little daughter is crying!"

"Hugh?"

"Little daughter?"

Accidentally, Luna jerks Susan. As a result, after hearing Luna's astonishment, Susan falls down. Luckily, Luna moves neatly. As Susan is about to slide down the stairs, Luna grabs Susan.

Although it was just a tugging motion, it caused a cold sweat to break out on Luna's forehead. Luna almost had to use her magic. If magic is used from time to time, then Luna has a chance that Mister Betsy will find her disguise. In order not to complicate matters, Luna simply did not check Mr. Betsy's eyes, and turned around and dragged Susan to the east hallway of the third floor.

Now, with Mr. Betsy here, shouldn't it be a trespass? Luna forced an excuse.

Let go of the pace and pull Susan a few times before Luna catches up with Perry, who enters the door. The room is located at the end of the east hallway, and is facing the hallway. When I entered the door, the room was quite spacious and smelled of lavender.

The pungent scent made Susan speak, "A kiss of tranquility?"

Luna didn't care about Susan's pause, and walked straight behind Perry. When Perry turns around in a hurry, Luna sees the person lying on the plush bed as Perry moves. It was a woman of no small age, and based on her appearance, Luna could determine that the woman crying in bed was Mr. Betsy's youngest daughter.

"Guests, you'd better not meddle here. And, Miss Susan, you blocked Mr. Betsy at the door. Perry said. Then he pointed to the painting hanging on the south wall, the one to the east of the south window.

One glance at the portrait, Luna made up her mind. Because it was a painting of just Mr. Betsy and a woman lying on the bed. After a little observation, Luna learns the approximate time of its production based on how old and old the portrait is.

The portrait, probably made not long ago, Luna guessed. But why did the woman lying on the bed on the west side of the room look decadent?

Come on, what's the matter?, Luna snorted inwardly. She felt that since things here needed to be closed, then nothing would happen to Hugh. Moreover, she remembered seeing Hugh in the morning.

While Luna is stunned in thought, Hugh enters through the door. Hugh said, "Is she all right, miss?" you had better get out quickly. I mean, Mr. Betsy, you have to let the guests go first. ”

Hugh, what's going on? Luna didn't understand.

When he first spoke, Hugh's tone was almost commanding, and it was clear that it was not the right thing for a slave to do. It seems that Hugh is the most talkative person in the manor.

As a result, Luna sees Mr. Betsy's invitation—a gesture to leave the room.

"Well, we've got to leave. Wishing your family a speedy recovery......" Luna didn't use magic to get Susan to speak, but spoke herself. She politely lifted the pleats of her skirt and saluted, and pulled Susan out of the room.

Depressed, that's how Luna describes the atmosphere in the room. If it were an exaggeration, she remembered the sound of a piano in the taiga forest, a knight from the kingdom of Norton. After listening to the piano song, Luna felt one note after another jump in her mind, the sound crisp but hard to settle.

Obviously, the atmosphere in the room gave Luna the feeling of being on the edge of a cliff. Moreover, she does not yet know who pushed herself to the edge. Except for Susan and the guest in full armor, the people in the room seemed to have their own thoughts. Perry, a butler who ignores the rules laid down by the lord of the manor, Hugh, a servant who yells at Mr. Betsy, and a woman who looks sullen when she sees her guests in bed.

Everything in the room is like a painting. Luna deliberately placed the people in the room in the painting. In Luna's mind, it was a picture of a family showing concern for their family in a hospital bed, only for the guests who suddenly broke in saw a scene that had nothing to do with warmth, and those people showed different eyes to the guests. But who were those people hiding? She had to rejoice that she was a vigilante with great magical powers, because she knew how terrible it was for those who disguised themselves so that they could not be detected.

Mr. Betsy?

Luna knows that Silver has a deal with Mr. Betsy. Luna knows that there are some things that can be explained by an argument between Perry and Virgil, which means that Perry and Virgil are not on bad terms. However, Luna senses that there seems to be a gap between Perry and Mr. Betsy. Isn't it normal for a housekeeper to have a conflict with his master on a manor? Even between Virgil and Mr. Betsy, Perry is more than willing to talk to Virgil about things.

As for Hugh, a thirteen-year-old boy, maybe he lost his temper because he was in a hurry, and Luna had to say something nice about Hugh when he thought of Hugh sneaking into the east tower and what happened to Hugh's brother.

Thinking about it, Luna became more and more uneasy.

At night, Luna was still dreaming. She dreamed of a pair of red eyes, looming in the black mist. However, Luna is direct enough to carry out an earth-shattering magical bombardment in her dream. However, she found that she couldn't shake off those eyes.

"A nightmare is a nightmare after all, and if this kind of thing spoils my mood, the moon god may be happy enough to let the Mochizuki Plains always be under the protection of the moon god's power, right?"

After closing her eyes for a moment, Luna got up. Once again, she left Susan in the room where the magic trap had been set up. This time, she's determined to find the secret hidden in the backyard of Betsy Manor.

At night, the moonlight is very sultry. However, the manor was put on its own. The manor was utterly quiet that night, with a mist that was mesmerizing for her vision, as if it had been specially prepared for Luna—with a little magic, Luna could see everything.

"This way! You have to go this way!"

Luna dissolves into black mist and emerges through the first south-facing window on the east side of the first floor. Then, following the magical sound in the fog, she made a straight path along the stone path to the east of the castle to the backyard.

"What's the matter, the hired men are resting, but it's only evening?"

Looking at the unoccupied courtyard, Luna walked unscrupulously towards the pile of wood. Step by step, approaching the north wall, Luna discovers that the loquat tree that the cane has turned into is still alive. As for the pile of timber piled up under the north wall, it turned out to be translated to the west. What emerges in front of Luna's eyes is a secret chamber deep underground.

"If you want to get what you want, you have to look down!"

The voice that led Luna's way came again. Out of some stubbornness, Luna stops when she descends the first step.

Turning, Luna looked at the fog that swept through the castle, "A guy who doesn't know how much weight he has, how dare he point fingers at the moon god's old enemy?"

Somehow, Luna doesn't get any response. Luna guessed that the person who was using magic to transmit the sound was scared. Stepping down the next step, Luna stumbles into an iron bar. With a touch of her hand, dark fire flowed down Luna's fingers, and the bars fell to dust.

With a wave of her hand, she lit the brazier in the passage with the scattered dark fire, and Luna stepped over the planks laid out in the puddle. She couldn't help complaining: "This hellish place is blistered." The guy who built this place must be a slack man, and there is no drainage. ”

After walking about twenty meters, Luna reached the end of the east side. Faced with no passage to the end, Luna shook her head. Then she touched the east wall with her hand. From a slight tremor to a slow opening of a gap, Luna grew tired of the speed at which the walls were moving, and used the Dark Fire to turn the unopened walls into scattered ashes.

Then, Luna ducks back at the sudden shouting. Slowly letting go of her ears, Luna could make out the sound coming from the secret room.

"Is that some guy who is in pain?"

Walking on the long planks that float on the water, Luna discovers that the chamber is still far away. Passing a southbound corner, Luna burns the squeaky rats to ashes. Later, she covered her mouth and nose with her left hand because she couldn't stand the stench in the passage.

Jingle bell, ding bell......

Some strange noises came through the darkness. In the passage to the south, there is no brazier at all, and Luna can only rely on her perception to keep going.

It was then that Luna saw a pair of sparkling eyes. She snorted disdainfully and continued two steps forward. Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out to her and grabbed the collar of her robe. Luna thinks it's a caretaker like a spirit in the chamber who has outstretched her hands. With just a slight backswind, Luna easily broke free of the hands that came out of the darkness.

Hearing a crush that sounded like a blow, Luna realized that there was a human in front of her. Through the door, the owner of the hands could only plead.

"Whoever you are, please let us out!"

The owner of the voice almost wailed, and Luna could hear it clearly. Illuminated by the dark fire of her right index finger, she realized that in front of her was a prison trapped by a magical seal at the exit.
