Mireel casually brought some food from the kitchen, which was already a delicacy for wormwood, but she was a little afraid to eat it, and Roque and the others stood by and watched.

"Eat wormwood, I still have something to ask you after eating. Roque urged gently.

"Thank you, thank you, sir. ”

Wormwood thanked him, then carefully placed the glass bottle at his feet before he began to eat.

Murdan and Yage chose to leave the hall at this point, and they waited quietly outside the door, as if they knew that something might be done later.

"Wormwood, where did you see that toad? After the other party finished eating, Roque asked.

"At the well of the moon, the toad stayed in the water. Wormwood hesitated for a moment before whispering.

"You've been to the Moon Well!"

Roque and Mireel shouted at the same time, and their faces changed, one with a solemn expression and the other with a fierce look.

Poof.

Wormwood quickly knelt down, she knew very well the rules of the manor, the servants on the other side of the moon well could not go, and if they found out, they would be executed, and when she said these words, she was already prepared in her heart.

"Sir, I know I've broken the rules, I'm willing to accept the punishment, I just want you to know that there's a big toad there, I hope it's what you're looking for. ”

"Aren't you afraid of death with wormwood?" Roque asked coldly.

"I'm afraid, sir. Wormwood, who was kneeling on the ground, replied honestly.

"You don't have to tell me about it, in this case, no one will know that you have been to the moon well, so you don't have to die, do you regret it now?"

"Sir, I don't regret it, I wish I could help you. Wormwood trembled and said what was in her heart.

Roque was slightly moved, and then he asked in a low voice, "How long have you been in Black Thorn Manor?"

"It's been more than a month. ”

"Wormwood, get up. ”

"Lord Roque. Wormwood didn't dare to act rashly, she slowly raised her head, tears shining in her eyes.

"Wormwood, hurry up, Master Roque won't execute you. Fili took it upon herself to help the other party.

"Master Roque, there are clear regulations in the ancestral teachings of the family, if this is known by some people, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. Mirel reminded with a frown.

"Then, from today onwards, this ancestral precept is gone. Roque said lightly.

"Master Roque, you can't do this, that's the ancestral teaching, it's the foundation of the Black Thorn Family, we must follow it, we must not do this. Milael looked agitated and fiercely protested.

At this point, Fili and Wormwood chose to stay quietly behind Roque, they did not dare to speak, and Milyle's anger frightened them.

"Grandpa Mirel!" Roque's face was gloomy, this time the other party's attitude made him a little angry.

Millair looked at Roque excitedly, his eyes showed a deep disappointment, he didn't make a sound, he felt an inexplicable loss in his heart, and the joy of reuniting with the other party before was gone.

"Thank you for your hard work today, go and rest, there is still a lot of work to be done tomorrow. ”

"It seems that I am really old, and I will be sleepy at this point, Master Roque, you should also rest early. Mireel slowly exited the hall with a dejected figure.

"Master Roque. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became so stiff, and Fili snuggled up to wormwood, looking at Roque's back uneasily, with a worried expression.

At this time, Murdan and Yage outside the gate couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and there was a strange smile on the corner of their mouths.

"Brother Murdan, how do I feel that the days of adult headaches have just begun. ”

"I think so, old man, sometimes it's cute, but sometimes it's infuriating. ”

"Haha, I'm sure the adults will handle it. ”

"Of course. ”

The two of them spoke lightly, a little schadenfreude, and when their eyes returned to the hall, they were surprised to find that Roque was looking at him with a smile.

The Moon Well is located at the back of the main house, and the terrain here is considered the highest in the Black Thorn Manor, and as for the time of its construction, it can be traced back to the time when the Black Thorn family was founded.

The location was not remote, but it was fenced off, and the servants in the manor knew that this place was not for them to set foot in.

Under the cover of night, the great black thorns were lonely, and except for a few servants who had to work, they rarely encountered human figures.

Originally, there were swordsmen in charge of patrolling, but now, walking and dying, the remaining swordsmen in the manor can count on ten fingers.

Soon after, Roque arrived at the Well of the Moon, where Murdan and Yager were carrying torches, Fili and Wormwood each carrying a kerosene lamp, followed by two of the manor's swordsmen.

The mouth of the well is about three meters wide, and it is impossible to see what is underneath when you look down, and according to the records of the Black Thorn family, the depth of the moon well is about thirty meters.

"Wormwood, are you sure you can see that big toad?" asked the outspoken Yag.

Finding that everyone's eyes fell on him, Wormwood said anxiously: "Master Roque, you can see it when the moon is very round." ”

Hearing such an explanation, except for Roque, everyone else looked at the night sky in unison, and it seemed that the luck tonight was not good, not to mention the moon, and there were not even a few stars.

Fili was extremely anxious, if she couldn't see the big toad, what Wormwood said would not have become a lie.

Everyone else was waiting for Roque to make a decision, and Wormwood's eyes didn't dare to look at him, and at this moment, she suddenly realized that she was thinking too simply.

"Yag. Roque, who had pondered for a while, finally spoke.

"Yes, my lord, what do you command? ”

"Hang a kerosene lamp down the well. ”

"Yes. ”

At this moment, everyone was gathered around the well, and Yag was lowering it with the help of a hanging rope, and everyone's eyes slowly fell to the bottom of the moon well with the kerosene lamp.

"When it's time to arrive, I see the water. A swordsman said with a little excitement.

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but glance at him, and that look was like looking at an idiot.

The brightness of the kerosene lamp made the bottom of the well visible, and the water of the well was dark green, and no one made a sound at this time, and gradually, the expressions of those swordsmen changed, and then everyone's faces changed.

I saw a huge head floating quietly in the middle of the well water, and the head looked up at an angle of 45 degrees.

Everyone held their breath for fear of missing any critical moments, and no one noticed, and a reassuring smile appeared on Wormwood's face.

Yager moved the kerosene lamp next to it. Roque said calmly.

"Yes, yes. ”

Yager carefully controlled the rope, he was so afraid that the toad would be scared away, he was more nervous than anyone present.

"Oh, don't!"

Perhaps too nervous, Yager's kerosene lamp touched the toad's mouth badly, and he reflexively shouted.

"Yag!"

Roque's face changed dramatically, and he shouted.
