Time passes.

At night, inside the castle of Viscount Saxophone.

Xia Zuo and the others were all assigned to different rooms in the neighborhood.

At this time, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Although it is said that Xia Zuo and everyone are soulborns with extraordinary powers, and it is not easy to have accidents in this human castle, there is still a dangerous soulborn in this castle that does not belong to the Night Veil - Edith.

Therefore, everyone thinks that it is better to have the room close, so that even if something really goes wrong, they can take care of each other.

Xia Zuo lived in the third room of this corridor.

Room 3.

Natsuzo reclined on the comfortable bed in his room, staring at the ceiling where the elegant chandelier hung from it.

Viscount Sachs was a wealthy nobleman, and the room prepared by his butler for Xia Zuo was naturally good, the room was richly decorated, and the bed was very soft and comfortable, which seemed to make people indulge in it as soon as they lay down.

However, at this time, Xia Zuo was not in the mood to enjoy these things.

Xia Zuo felt that his thoughts were quite confused.

It's annoying.

In the aftermath of the Edith incident, Shazo was unable to find any clues, despite his best efforts to investigate the griffin.

It's better to say that Xia Zuo not only didn't find clues, but also frequently wandered.

I always feel ...... I was a little concerned about what Edith said she liked about the smell...... I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

Ahhh

Instead of thinking about these meaningless things, I might as well get up and continue looking for any other clues.

Xia Zuo thought.

After all, Viscount Sachs is obviously hiding a lot of things, and since he refuses to say it directly, then I will investigate it myself!

When you think of it, you do it.

Xia Zuo slammed himself up and got up from the bed.

Xia Zuo decided to get up and not rest.

Anyway, I'm upset, and I can't sleep, so I might be able to find other clues by going out to investigate at night.

Xia Zuo got dressed again, and then picked up the soul revolver.

The soul revolver is more powerful, so it's good for self-defense.

In addition, if there is an accident that you can't solve, such as a griffin sneaking up at night or something, shoot it with a revolver, I'm afraid that half of the people in the castle can hear it, so even if you can't hurt the other party, you can scare the other party away.

Natsuzo opened the door and walked out.

Xia Zuo walked down the corridor, enjoying the scenery and taking common clues.

Viscount Saxophone's castle is very large, fortunately, due to Xia Zuo's relatively strong mental power and Xia Zuo's soul tracking ability, Xia Zuo does not have to be afraid of getting lost.

If you get lost, use soul tracking to track down the little soul you have left in the room, so you can go back to the room smoothly.

In a sense, soul tracking is really a convenient and extraordinary ability.

Xia Zuo walked to the end of the corridor and was about to turn into another corridor when Xia Zuo suddenly heard a human voice.

Xia Zuo suddenly stopped, then leaned against the wall, looking cautiously over there.

Not far from the hallway, two men were talking, each carrying a kerosene lamp.

It turned out to be the voice of the night guard.

Xia Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Natsuzo was about to retreat and avoid the guards first.

The guard's conversation caught Natsuzo's attention.

"Alas, it's been a hard time lately......"

"It's another castle that has been inexplicably destroyed...... Horses are missing. ”

"It's a quirky little girl and a bunch of monstrous black-clad detectives again. ”

One of the tall guards on night patrol whispered.

"Yes, ever since the unexpected death of the Viscount's beloved horse 'Leah', I feel as if the castle has been cursed. ”

"I always felt that it was the Viscount, who did something wrong to cause these things to happen. The other guard muttered, even a little louder, this guard seemed younger, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, so he did not speak so reservedly.

"Maybe Leah's accidental death has something to do with the Viscount......

"It's Leah's ghost who has come to us for justice......"

"Shh......h Be careful when saying this kind of thing, don't say it so loudly. The tall guard quickly looked around, and after making sure that no one had heard the young guard's words, he advised the young guard.

"Lord Viscount has warned us not to talk about it. ”

"We're little guards, just do our part. ”

"Don't think about this kind of thing. ”

"Lest we be discovered by Lord Viscount, our job will be ruined. ”

"It's still a trivial matter if we don't have a job, and if we anger the Viscount, we may even implicate our family. ”

"So be careful what you say. ”

"Let's go, let's go, continue the night patrol. The tall guard persuaded.

"Okay. The young guard shrugged helplessly.

So the young guard continued to follow the tall guard, and turned into another corridor, which happened not to pass by Nazzo.

"Viscount Saxophone's beloved horse 'Leah' died unexpectedly?" Xia Zuo muttered to himself thoughtfully, looking at the figures of the two guards in the distance.

This is a clue that I haven't found before.

When I talked to Viscount Sax before, Viscount Sax didn't mention it at all.

The griffon attack seems to have happened after the death of Viscount Saxe's Amaria, and there may be some connection between the two.

And Viscount Sachs deliberately ordered his subordinates not to talk about this matter, I have to say......

"It's very suspicious...... Xia Zuo muttered to himself.

"Hey, it turns out that 'Brother' have you also noticed this rumor?" A voice suddenly came from behind Xia Zuo, and at the same time, a slender jade hand was placed on Xia Zuo's shoulder and gently patted Xia Zuo.

"?!" Xia Zuo almost jumped up.

Wait, no, this voice, this person is ...... Edith?!

Xia Zorluo turned his head a little stiffly, turned around, and then saw the figure behind him clearly.

It's a girl with silver hair and purple eyes.

Edith indeed.

It's time to deal with this dangerous Edith again...... Moreover, what is the name "elder brother"?

I saw that Edith looked at Xia Zuo slyly at this time, and her playful appearance looked very cute.

"It's you, Miss Edith. "The matter has come to this, Xia Zuo has no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Edith. Edith frowned.

"Huh?" Xia Zuo was a little confused.

"Call me Edith. Edith emphasized.

"Ah, Edith. Xia Zuo hurriedly corrected.

"Edith, what are the rumors you just said?" Xia Zuo asked when he saw that Edith seemed to be in a good mood and didn't mean to hurt himself.

"Of course it......" Edith winked her purple eyes playfully, "Brother, guess." ”

“......”

Xia Zuo couldn't help but support his forehead.

That said...... Edith. Xia Zuo looked at Edith and suddenly said with a serious face.

"What's the matter with your 'brother'?"

"I'm not really your brother. ”

"It's not going on. Edith smiled slyly.

"You're my brother now. ”

"You called my sister during the day. ”

"As for 'Brother', it's just a simple name for Brother, and now I'm happy, so I'll call you Brother, if I'm not happy tomorrow, I'll just call you Brother. Edith's purple eyes were full of smiles.

The current Edith, and the indifferent Edith during the day, are simply two people.

Ah, hey, do you actually have a dual personality??

Of course, Xia Zuo only dared to complain in his heart like this, and it was naturally impossible to say it directly.

Xia Zuo didn't want to be killed by Edith if something happened.

After all, at this distance, it is estimated that even if the people in the dark night curtain want to save him, it will be completely too late.

"Forget it, then it's up to you. Xia Zuo said helplessly.

"Besides, since you don't want to tell me what this rumor is, I'll go back to my room and rest. Xia Zuo said.

Since I can't get any other clues, let's go back quickly and discuss it with you later.

Hopefully I can get out now.

"Huh. Edith was naturally not very happy to let Xia Zuo go like this.

"Don't leave so quickly, brother. Edith tugged at Natsuzo's sleeve and pursed her lips slightly, looking a little dissatisfied.

...... You're a kind of cute foul, hey.

Edith, you're a powerful soul descendant known as the undead girl, is it really good to be so cute?

Xia Zuo couldn't help but pause.

"Oh well. Xia Zuo was a little helpless, "Then Edith, what do you want me to do now?"

"It's hard for me to do it if you don't tell me what this rumor is, and you won't let me go back to my room to rest. Xia Zuo said with a forehead.

"Hmph, I told you it wasn't okay. Edith pouted cutely and said.

"I arrived here before you, my brother, and I learned a lot of information. ”

"Rumor has it that Viscount Saxe had a favorite horse, and this is a sturdy mare named Leah. ”

"When Viscount Saxophone travels or hunts, he often rides Leah's mare out the house. ”

This shows Viscount Sachs's affection for the mare. ”

One day, however, something seemed to have happened to Viscount Saxophone's mare, and Viscount Saxophone forbade any other unrelated persons to approach the marre. ”

"Even the freedom of the groom, who was in charge of raising Leah, was restricted by Viscount Sax, and he was easily not allowed to go out and talk to anyone else about Leah. ”

The affair didn't end until Leah died unexpectedly. ”

"The others didn't know exactly what happened to Leah. ”

"Perhaps only Viscount Sachs and the groom know about it. ”

"Then it was the griffons who appeared to attack Viscount Sachs's territory. ”

"If I hadn't sensed the smell of a griffon here in Clara, I came to Viscount Saxophone......"

"Maybe you won't see this Viscount Saxophone now. ”

"All you can see is the corpse of Viscount Saxophone, who has been destroyed by a griffin. ”

"Huh. Edith thought of Viscount Sachs and sneered, reverting to her haughty appearance during the day.

But in front of Xia Zuo, Edith suddenly became cunning and cute again.

"That's what I know about this rumor. Edith finished explaining, and then looked at Xia Zuo with a sly expression.

"Brother, what else do you think?"
