Chapter 438: Undead Murderer
Undead?
The corners of Pique's mouth twitched, and he instantly regretted his rash decision. He thought that there was a murderer hiding in the castle and needed their help to find it, and he had wondered why the people in the castle had asked for help from the priest instead of the garrison, but then he finally understood. Glancing back silently, he said in his heart, is there a way back now?
What if he was walking alone and ran into the undead? He was a little worried about Ryder and his grandfather. Peake silently followed the fat priest to the castle gate.
Before they could knock, suddenly, a gap appeared in the two gates on the outer perimeter of the castle, and the fat priest squeezed into it with difficulty, followed by Peake.
"Chief Amanda, are you the only one to pick me up?" the fat priest gave a simple chest stroking to the chief of security in front of him.
The Chief of Guard, Amanda, immediately returned the salute, and instead of answering the fat priest's words, he turned his gaze to Peake, and then turned to the fat pastor with doubts and questions in his eyes.
Fat Pastor Ilyin hastened to explain, "We need his help. ”
Still very puzzled in his heart, the chief of security lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally took the lead in the direction of the main castle building, "Don't you know what happened to him?" Amanda said to the fat priest Illin as she walked, "I don't think he can help us with anything?"
Peake walked aside, and when he heard this, he had an embarrassed look on his face.
"I only found out about his amnesia today," the fat priest whispered to the chief of guards, "but my teacher, Theon, gave me a noble cane, and I think he was hinting at me. ”
"Oh, I see. Chief of Security Amanda thought thoughtfully.
The three of them walked into the brightly lit castle lobby, and when they first entered, Pique was dumbfounded, because he had never seen so many candles before!
I saw that the floor, tables, windowsills, and sofas were all filled with thick white candles, and the light of the candles illuminated the hall of the main building of the castle. Candles were the most common lighting tool on the continent, as the craft was monopolized by aristocrats and candle merchants, resulting in candles being worth more than oil lamps in some regions. According to the price of peace town, a white candle is sold for a copper coin, or that kind of thin candle, which can be described as one of the most valuable consumables in peace town, if there is nothing important in ordinary people, they are reluctant to light a candle at night.
At this time, there are at least a thousand candles in front of him! There are still thick candles that can continue to burn for several hours! Pique, who vaguely understands the prices of prices in Heping Town, is a little distressed, this is simply burning gold coins!
The lobby on the first floor is brightly lit, and the extravagant furniture is illuminated by countless candles. However, there was no one in the lobby on the first floor. Captain Amanda led them up a two-story spiral staircase, and then opened a door carved with golden eyes.
Pique then walked in.
Person!
Full of people!
Most of them are standing. Servants dressed in simple service, maids, butlers in blue robes, nuns in black clothes, and samurai in silver light armor...... Nearly 100 people in total! Peake looked at it and saw that there were nearly 100 people crowded into this parlor-like place.
It would be inaccurate to say that it was crowded, this meeting room was extremely large, and it could fit even dozens of people.
I saw a bunch of servants, a bunch of maids, and a bunch of samurai, and the differentiation was very distinct, and it seemed that all the people in the castle were gathered in this room. Pique walked among them, greeted by hundreds of eyes. At this time, he suddenly had a strange feeling - these people knew him.
In this way, under everyone's gaze, Amanda, the chief of security, led the fat priest Illin and Peake to the center of the hall.
Two sofas are separated by a table, and there are several people dressed very formally on the sofas.
With just one glance, Pique set his eyes on that pretty face.
Those eyebrows had made him toss and turn, and at this time, he had lost his memory, but he still had a familiar feeling.
In an instant, many images flashed before his eyes:
The convoy that was swept apart...... Tailor shop ...... Kids in Etiquette Lesson...... Josun City...... The streets and alleys of the town of Peace...... Hunter's Courtyard......
All the images were mixed together, and he was completely sure that it was all what he had experienced before!
He looked at her, but they were speechless.
The Chief of Guard, Amanda, introduces the fat priest Illin to the noble lady and the head of the guard, Juan, and they invite Everin to take a seat, while Peake is left to hang, as if everyone knows him and doesn't need an introduction.
Peake was so happy that he hoped that no one would bother him at this time, and that he would keep all the images in his mind in mind. These images are extremely important, and he is afraid that if he misses any of them, he will leave a lifelong regret.
The fat priest stroked the noble lady's chest, and the other party stood up and returned the salute. Somehow, Peake suddenly walked up to Hasja's side, and then sat down next to her in the shocked gaze of hundreds of eyes.
The security chief Amanda and the fat priest Ilyin on the opposite side also showed shocked expressions.
The sofa on Pique's left is just right for three people: the aristocratic lady sits on the far right, Hasgar in the middle, and Pique on the far left. In front of them are two fat men: Chief of Security Amanda and Fat Priest Ilin. Juan, the commander of the guards, was on the side of the noble lady. I have to say that on the sofa of the same length, Pique, Hasjia, and the noble lady sat together, not crowded at all, and opposite them, the chief of the guard, Amanda, and the fat priest Ilyin, were meat next to meat.
Pique's action elicited a gasp of surprise, and Juan, the leader of Juan, who was in charge of the castle's security, gripped the sword at his waist, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw the face under the blue hat, he swallowed the words that came to his lips again. He knew in his heart that the blue hat had saved the noble lady and Miss Hayscar.
The noble lady didn't say anything, and looked calm. In fact, she has mixed feelings, on the one hand, she has a sense of gratitude to Pique, who can't help but do her a big favor at Hasga's birthday party, and even save their lives directly from the horse thieves later. But what about it, this blue hat has made her precious daughter's belly bigger...... What can she say? What can she do? The only thing she can do at this time is to stay calm, and then for the rest of her life, she will be able to keep her daughter tightly.
Sitting in the middle, Hasja was accustomed to the surprise that the blue hat brought her, and when she saw Pique, her first reaction was excitement and joy, but she thought of the glass of cold milk she had drunk in the morning......
For various reasons, everyone has a tacit understanding and ignores the arrival of the blue hat.
And what about the party, Pique.
In fact, he didn't even know what he was doing!
It all happened so suddenly, he didn't have time to think about it at all, he just followed the extreme desire in his heart, and sat down beside Hasjia.
Smelling the faint fragrance wafting over next to it, like the fragrance of daisies, faint ...... His eyes widened, not knowing what he should have done at this point.
Finally, it was the noble lady who spoke first to break the awkward silence:
"Venerable Pastor Illin, thank you for coming. ”
The fat priest nodded in acknowledgment, with a solemn expression on his face, and he did not speak, as if he was thinking.
The noble lady intentionally or unintentionally ignored Pique's existence, and then said to the fat priest Illin:
"This must be done by the priest, and I have discussed it with Chief Amanda and whatever you need, we will do our best to meet it. Tomorrow, in the name of Baron Hajvi Yakel, we will make a donation to the church. Please also lend a helping hand to solve our troubles. ”
Obviously, this is a negotiation of conditions, first promising benefits, and then doing things.
When Pastor Ilyin heard this, he immediately said, "It is the priest's duty to deal with the undead. He was a little embarrassed, because it was the first time he had faced such a thing, and he suddenly became the protagonist among hundreds of people, which made him at a loss.
Pique, on the other hand, was completely unconcerned about their conversation, because at this time, he was swimming in the ocean of memories. Just like fishing in the ocean, each fish is a fragment of memory. He had to think hard and try to remember before he could catch the fish of memory.
The conversation in the room continued, and everyone except Pique was watching.
At this time, it was Juan who was the commander of the guard who was speaking:
"Three people have died, and we can now be sure that the undead were responsible. The man who died in the morning was called Jiguangsi, a guard warrior recruited by our family, a Yodelman. He died in the morning mist, and at that time we thought that the murderer had probably escaped from the castle, but we sealed the castle gate for safety. ”
"At noon, there was a second deceased, a servant who managed the storehouse. Like the first man, he died without a single person by his side. ”
"In the middle of the night, we realized the gravity of the matter, so we gathered all the people in the castle together, but ......," he sighed as he said this, and then continued, "but we still missed one person, who was the maid of the castle, fifty years old, and was in charge of the dry cleaning in the castle. ”
"The three of them died exactly the same, their eyes wide open, their mouths wide open, as if they suddenly saw something terrible, and then ...... Shengsheng was scared to death. ”
"It was only when we found the third deceased that we turned our attention to the extraordinary power, the power of the undead. Nothing could make them die so miserably except the undead. ”
As Juan, the leader of the guards, Juan, recounted, Pique listened attentively, because he suddenly realized that the girl around him was scared, which made him feel angry, and he had to find the undead!
Looking for the undead?
Are you kidding?
Leave this kind of thing to the pastors, they have extraordinary power, it's a well-known thing.
The highly-anticipated Pastor Illin was clearly not assertive, and unconsciously, he turned his attention to Peake.
What does that mean?
Everyone's eyes were on Pastor Illin, and at this time, seeing Pastor Illin staring at a certain place, everyone couldn't help but follow his gaze. Suddenly, the blue hat's expression of looking at Haysjia was reflected in everyone's sight.
Noticing Haysja's shyness, and noticing that everyone was looking at him, Peake immediately withdrew his stupid gaze and embarrassedly lifted the torn blue hat on his head.
"Reverend Ilyin?" said the noble lady softly. She was waiting for Pastor Ilyin to give a solution, and the castle was already panicked, and no one dared to leave the room if the murderer was not found tonight, "We need you to solve this matter." ”
"Uh-huh......" After a brief mutter, Pastor Illin finally spoke, "Actually, I would like to hear the opinion of this blue-hat gentleman first. "Yes, Fat Priest Ilyin is also sure that all this is done by the undead, but this is also the first time he has faced the undead, where is the solution?
Although they were puzzled, everyone's eyes still returned to the blue hat.
Peake's face flushed.
At this moment, no one should have noticed that under the table, Pique took Haysjia's hand......
