Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 41 The Fall
After listening to Neil's words, Xia Zuo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What Neil said was actually not very informative, and it was a supplement to the previous clues, and it could not provide Xia Zuo with more useful clues.
To truly solve this mystery, Uncle Moore, the groom, or at least the corpse of Mallia, must be found.
If she can find Edith's help with Lia's corpse, maybe Edith can transform Lea into an undead and get clues from the undead Leah.
It's a bit of a hassle, though.
And I don't know if Edith can understand the language of the undead...... Maybe Edith could read her memories directly?
Although I don't even have any clues about Leah's corpse right now.
Xia Zuo complained helplessly in his heart.
"Speaking of which, you said that Leah died unexpectedly, so where did Leah's body go?" Xia Zuo asked as he came back to his senses.
Anyway, it seems unlikely that Uncle Moll will be found, so it is better to find Leah's body.
Presumably, Viscount Sachs would not have thought that I would go to Leah's corpse and join forces with Edith to transform the dead Leah into an undead, right?
Maybe the former Viscount Saxophone might have thought of it, but the latter, Viscount Saxophone probably didn't know that Edith had a good attitude towards me and was willing to cooperate with me.
"Huh. Neil couldn't help but be stunned, "Well...... I do know a thing. ”
"What, do you know the whereabouts of Leah's body?"
Xia Zuo didn't expect Neil to really know.
Originally, he just asked casually, and he didn't have any expectations.
But now that Neil knew, there was no reason for Xia Zuo to give up this clue.
"Where did Leah's body go?" Xia Zuo hurriedly asked.
"I've been following this before, and if I'm not mistaken, I'm still in that place. Neil said, frowning slightly, and looked around warily.
"A small place in the plains of the Dessa. Neil whispered.
"What's wrong with you, why are you suddenly suspicious?" Xia Zuo was stunned, how could Neil, who had always seemed bold and careful just now, suddenly become cautious and vigilant.
"It's okay, it always feels like someone is eavesdropping on us. Neil looked around and smiled.
Xia Zuo hurriedly used his mental power to scan the surroundings, but Xia Zuo didn't find anything abnormal.
Maybe Neil is too sensitive and thinks too much.
"You're thinking too much, brother. Xia Zuo couldn't help but pat Neil in understanding.
After all, talking to an outsider like him here behind his own master's back is indeed prone to this kind of mentality.
"Perhaps. Neil glanced around again and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I guess I did this because of my momentary sixth sense." ”
"Poof. Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile, "Do we men also have a sixth sense?"
"Yes, our man's sixth sense is called intuition. Neil smiled.
"That's all for tonight, it's late, so I won't say more. ”
"Tomorrow it's my turn to rest, so I'll take you there tomorrow. Neil said.
"After all, although it is in the plain of Dessa, I don't know exactly where it is. ”
"After all, I've only been there once. ”
"It's better for me to lead the way and take you there. ”
"It's eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting for you at the stable, no problem, right?"
"By the way, I may also go to bed late, if I am late, you can go directly to the fourth room of the guarded living quarters to find me. ”
"Hmm. Xia Zuo thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong, but he nodded anyway.
I guess I've been thinking too much about Neil's reaction just now.
"Then we'll see you tomorrow. Shazo said goodbye to Neil.
"See you tomorrow, Your Excellency. Neil laughed.
The two said goodbye to each other and left.
The surroundings were quiet again.
It's just that in the depths of the darkness somewhere, there is a pair of cold eyes permeated with cold light quietly staring out of the darkness.
Cold eyes, slightly flickering.
... ...
The next day, in the morning.
Although Xia Zuo didn't go to bed early last night, Xia Zuo still got up early because of Xia Zuo's good work and rest habits.
Xia Zuo finished washing, devoured the breakfast that the servant had already served, and then went out and gathered with everyone in the dark curtain.
The crowd walked through the corridors of the castle, ready to begin a new round of investigation.
"......" Jasmine and Xia Zuo are relatively close, Jasmine glanced at Xia Zuo strangely, and stopped talking, ah no, it should be like a strange look at Xia Zuo, after all, Xia Zuo can't see Jasmine's eyes.
"Xia Zuo, you didn't sleep well last night?" Elsa with outstanding observation ability could see at a glance that Xia Zuo didn't sleep well last night, and asked with concern.
"Ah, I'm fine. Xia Zuo couldn't help scratching his head a little embarrassed, "It's just that I slept late because I had something to do last night." ”
Elsa couldn't help but smile lightly.
"I think it's Xia Zuo, you couldn't help but go out for a stroll last night, right?" Fred glanced at Xia Zuo and smiled playfully.
"Ahaha......" Xia Zuo laughed dryly, and did not respond directly to Fred's words.
"It seems that someone needs to come and see you...... "Anos glanced at Xia Zuo, remembering Xia Zuo who had used his soul too much under impulse before, and felt that it didn't seem like it would be possible to find someone to watch Xia Zuo, a newcomer.
Although Xia Zuo is already an excellent soul descendant with two extraordinary abilities, he is too messy.
"The situation in this castle is still unclear, and there is a dangerous person like Edith, so you better not act alone. Ian, who had always had a low sense of presence, suddenly appeared and said quietly beside Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo was almost frightened again.
Brother, your extraordinary ability is really a bit of a trick on a daily basis, always making me forget your existence by accident, and then you can startle me by suddenly speaking.
"Understood, understood. Xia Zuo hurriedly replied, with a look of expression that I knew I was wrong.
By the way, last night I made an appointment with Neil to go to the Desa Plains at nine o'clock, and I have to talk to everyone, this matter must not be hidden from everyone, and there is no need to hide it, after all, the Desa Plains should be rampant with wild beasts, and everyone should go together to take care of each other.
Of course, it would be better if you could please Edith.
That way, if Leah's body is found, Edith will be able to get clues directly from Leah's body.
Although I don't know if she will say yes.
Forget it, let's go over and have a look at it then.
Otherwise, if Leah's body is not found, it will be a big trouble.
Xia Zuo thought.
"Guys, I actually got some clues from one of the guards last night. Xia Zuo said.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Xia Zuo one after another.
Xia Zuo saw that everyone was looking over, so he briefly told his experience last night, of course, Xia Zuo deleted the incident that he met Edith last night, Xia Zuo didn't want everyone to worry.
The captain of the "......" was silent for a while and did not speak immediately.
"You really did it last night. ”
"Don't do that next time. Captain Anos said, "You're being targeted by Edith right now, if you run into Edith ...... without permission."
"Ah, yes, yes. Xia Zuo nodded obediently and hurriedly.
Actually, I met Edith last night.
And she seemed to be pretty nice to me, and didn't mean to hurt me...... Although I don't know why.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
"Hehe, I don't know what the trap is......" Fred smiled, "After all, Viscount Saxe concealed the truth of the matter so tightly, it is unlikely that a guard would know these things and tell them to outsiders like this." ”
The crowd couldn't help but bow their heads.
"But I believed him, and I could see that he didn't panic. Xia Zuo said seriously, there should be more trust between people, the emotions in the guard's eyes don't look fake.
"Then let's go find this guard. Fred smiled, "I'll let Elsa confirm that then." ”
"Good. Elsa nodded.
"Then let's go now. Seeing this, Xia Zuo suddenly said.
Although it was only seven o'clock, it was not yet the time that Xia Zuo and Neil had agreed upon.
But Xia Zuo always felt a little uneasy in his heart, especially after hearing Fred say that Viscount Sax was unlikely to let the guards reveal information like this, Xia Zuo felt even more uneasy.
The reason why Xia Zuo felt uneasy was not because Xia Zuo began to suspect that the guard named Neil was panicking, Xia Zuo believed that Neil would not deceive him, but because Xia Zuo was worried that something would happen to Neil and he would have an accident.
But it probably won't happen.
After all, it was late at night when I mentioned it to him last night, and no one else was there, so even if Viscount Saxe wasn't allowed to reveal the information, Viscount Saxophone wouldn't find anything.
If you don't want to, let's go over and have a look.
Xia Zuo decided to abandon these distractions.
Let's go to Neil's quarters first, hoping not to disturb his rest.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile lightly in his heart.
"Okay, let's go. The crowd nodded.
So Xia Zuo walked with Anos and the others to the castle guard's quarters.
... ...
Guarded accommodation area.
This is the guard's quarters in Sachs Castle, with a number of squatted and simple houses for the guards to live in. It is relatively close to the core area where Viscount Saxophone is located, so it is convenient for guards to protect Viscount Saxophone in case of accidents.
Xia Zuo and his teammates looked at the house number and quickly found Room 4 where Neil was.
I'm here for Neil, and I hope you won't be angry that I've woken you up.
Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.
"Knock knock......" Natsuzo knocked on the door.
However, there was no response.
There was no response in the house.
There was not even a single reaction.
Xia Zuo was stunned.
"Neil, Neil, I'm coming!" shouted Shazo.
Neil must have been tired from his night patrol last night, and now he should be resting in the house, and it is impossible not to be there.
Since it's here, it shouldn't be unresponsive now.
Xia Zuo thought of what Fred said before, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Could it be ...... No way.
Xia Zuo knocked heavily on the door again.
Still, no response.
At the same time as Xia Zuo knocked on the door, Anos frowned silently, Fred and Ian were also silent and did not speak, Anos glanced at Elsa and Jasmine on the side, only to see that Elsa and Jasmine, who had the strongest mental strength, shook their heads slightly, and they both seemed to sense something.
"Xia Zuo, let me come. Fred suddenly approached Xia Zuo and patted Xia Zuo on the shoulder.
"......" Xia Zuo took a step back, but did not speak.
Fred stood in front of Xia Zuo, facing the door, and suddenly raised his right foot and kicked open the door of the house.
The door to the house was knocked flying by Fred's powerful force, revealing the interior of the house.
"That's what happened...... Fred sighed softly as he looked at the scene in the house.
In the house, a young man is lying on the edge of the bed in a strange position, the young man's body has long been twisted, his head is lowered, and the blood that has coagulated is beside him.
Neil Ta ...... He's dead.
At this moment, Xia Zuo only felt as if he had suddenly fallen from the sky.
From the high in the air called "self-righteous".
Fall to the earth called "Regret".
"Falling".
