Duke felt a moment of trepidation, and he looked fixedly at the lifeless rabbit in front of him.

I remembered the strange sound when I first fell asleep, and the boundless sea of blood and unspeakable monsters that followed.

All this seems to be a sign that something ominous is about to befall you.

Even the last peaceful fall asleep may be a fantasy that directly sinks into oneself and dies.

If it weren't for Lenia pulling herself back in time, it is estimated that she would be no different from the rabbit in front of her now.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lenia with some gratitude, who only felt inexplicable and turned his head to avoid Duke's burning gaze.

"Wait here, I guess there is no other danger, this strange spell only works on the sleeping. Lenia said, handing Duke his regular clothes.

"I'm going to change my gear now and gather everyone over to figure it out. ”

She ran out without waiting for Duke to say yes, and could hear her shouting to the guards on duty in the distance.

Duke hugged his clothes in a daze, then shook his head with a smile.

Although Lenia usually behaves a little big, when it comes to real things, her execution and judgment are top-notch.

He also hurriedly dressed up, and then sat on a chair and waited for the arrival of his vassals.

Duke didn't have to wait long, Lenia changed into armor and returned to Duke's room with Vlavich and Joseph, followed by Baron Rhein's former butler and four maids.

"I think Lenia has already told you what happened, do you guys have any opinions?"

Duke nodded at them, motioned for them to find a place to sit down, and then asked bluntly.

"We don't know exactly why, in fact we did a survey the other day and found nothing. ”

Joseph took out his small handkerchief and wiped the sweat that oozed from nervousness or fear, and continued: "And it is strange that the people who originally lived in this castle have never encountered such a situation. ”

Duke frowned, could it be that this guy who seemed to be a ghost was still bullying?

Lenia, who was watching with her arms crossed and did not speak, looked left and right, and suddenly drew her sword and put it across the neck of Baron Rhine's old butler.

"Say, what the hell is going on, I see that your eyes are not normal. ”

She stared at the old butler in front of her viciously and said, and the blade of the sword around his neck also advanced slightly, revealing a hint of redness.

Duke wanted to stop Lenia from rioting, but when he heard her question, he stopped and looked at the old butler who was in charge of the castle.

As the butler who served Baron Rhine, he was certainly a confidant of his henchmen, and knew the entire castle better than everyone present.

But the butler sneered, said no more, and even glared back at Lenia with a defiant look.

For a while, the atmosphere around was a little tense, and there was a kind of suffocating depression.

Lenia's rising pressure weighed down the butler and the four maids behind her.

"I ...... I...... I said......"

Finally, the youngest of the four maids could not withstand Lenia's oppression, and as soon as her legs went limp, she fell to the ground and stammered.

The old butler, who was held by Lenia's neck, looked at him, and his drooping right hand was about to grab the little maid who was still trembling on the ground in the shape of an eagle's claw.

Lenia kept an eye on his movements, as the qi that had been hanging over the butler felt his right hand begin to exert force.

She immediately slapped the scabbard pinned to her waist at his right hand, which he had grabbed at the little maid, slapping his attack off target.

Duke had been watching from behind, and when he sensed something was wrong, he pulled out his dragon rope.

This magic item, which was used in the battle against Baron Rhine, also worked on his butler.

In an instant, he was tied up and sturdy, and he couldn't struggle, but could only watch Duke's big feet stomp on his face.

"Ah, it turns out that you are still a fish that slipped through the net. ”

Duke watched as the butler's right hand at his feet gradually turned black, and the shape of the original human five fingers became more and more like the claws of some unknown monster.

"It seems that Baron Rhine really has a problem, and this time we must seize the ironclad evidence of his collusion with the cultists. ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he secretly used his magic power, and a butler who was still struggling and squirming on the ground was kicked unconscious.

Then he smiled kindly at the little maid who was the first to speak, and said in the gentlest tone: "Don't be afraid, you tell us everything you know, and I guarantee your safety in the honor of my family." ”

The maid's petite body trembled, and her eyes quickly glanced at the old butler on the ground, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and Lenia, who stood by heroically.

Finally, he said in a low voice, "I...... Many times when I woke up at night, I saw the Baron and the Butler go to the basement at the full moon. ”

She thought for a moment before adding, "And Mr. Magic Advisor." ”

Duke nodded, the three characters she said could match those suspected of being cultists, and the credibility was still very high.

"So it seems that the underground of this castle is the place where they conduct covert operations?"

Duke touched his chin, walked around the room a few times, and said, "Why don't we gather the guards we brought now and investigate directly?"

"Your Excellency, please think twice, midnight is the time when the evil forces are at their strongest, and we can wait until tomorrow dawn before acting. ”

Vlavich objected, and Joseph agreed that it would be better to act tomorrow at dawn when the evil forces waned.

"And I don't think those ordinary soldiers can help much, I'll go down and investigate tomorrow alone. ”

Hearing that Lenia wanted to explore alone, Duke disagreed, but was a little helpless.

Soldiers who are ordinary people really have no resistance at all before this evil product, even if their own guards are the most elite soldiers.

"Well, let's go down together tomorrow and ask you to destroy it when we find the source. ”

After thinking about it, Duke is still more secure like this, and he who has the dragon rope and the ring of guardianship can also assist on the side, which is more or less a combat power.

Lenia opened her mouth to object, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Duke waving his hand.

"So it was decided, we will act early tomorrow morning, this is the order. ”

Duke made the final arrangement, especially the last sentence, which he said word by word by staring into Lenia's eyes, and did not allow her to refuse half a point.

The last three ministers bowed down and left the room with the maids.
