Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 39 Clues

What do you think?

After listening to what Edith said, Xia Zuo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Viscount Saxophone is hiding something that we can't let know, and this matter has to do with the truth about the griffon's attack on Viscount Saxophone, that's for sure.

But Viscount Sachs was reluctant to say this, and we had to find out for ourselves.

And according to the clues provided by Edith and the conversation of the guards, the mare that has the most to do with this answer is probably the one now.

Leah's mare is a key clue.

After all, the griffon came not long after Leah's unexpected death, and if the two have nothing to do with each other, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

And Viscount Sachs even deliberately concealed Leah's existence, which made it even more suspicious.

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo had an idea in his heart.

Go investigate what information is available about this mare.

Try the groom who raised Lea before, and maybe I might be able to solve the mystery.

Xia Zuo thought about it.

"Ah, hey, brother, what's wrong with you?" Edith stretched out her small slender hand and shook it in front of Natsuzo's eyes.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was thinking about it just now. Xia Zuo reacted at this time.

"Did you come up with anything?" Edith chuckled.

"I couldn't come up with anything, but I figured I could go and see the groom first. Xia Zuo replied.

"Well......" Edith seemed a little disappointed, "but I guess you can't find the groom you used to be, brother." ”

"Hmm???" Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be that Viscount Sachs had already killed the groom or was he secretly imprisoned?

"Yes. Edith had a look on her face that you weren't mistaken, "This groom disappeared long ago after Leah's unexpected death. ”

Some people at the castle said that it was because Leah's death was related to the groom, and the groom absconded in fear of the crime. ”

"It is also said that the groom was questioned by Viscount Saxophone and then secretly killed. ”

"All in all, brother, you can't find this groom now. ”

"Damn, it's been a long time to find a clue. Natsuzo grabbed his hair sharply.

"It's not like it's all about it right now. Edith said suddenly.

"What?" Xia Zuo hurriedly asked.

"Of course it'......" Edith paused, winking playfully.

"Make the undead. ”

Edith smiled.

Smiling is a bit dangerous.

What do you mean by waiting? Could it be that you can find out by killing the guards and the like, even the Viscount of Sax, into obedient undead?

Wouldn't you be Edith, you're so cruel at a young age?

I'm afraid I'm going to slaughter the city.

As for making Viscount Saxophone into an undead...... This can indeed guarantee that the mystery can be solved, but then the sub-client is gone, and the commission will naturally not be able to continue to be completed.

And maybe the griffon will choose to leave because of the death of Viscount Sachs and never come back.

Then the matter is almost as if it was not resolved.

And it would ruin both the Night Veil and Edith's reputation.

Oh no, Edith doesn't seem to be afraid of this.

After all, Edith's reputation is not very good in the first place, and it can even be said that it is notorious.

After all, necromancers really rarely have a good reputation.

More necromancers tend to be described as monstrous beings, even in the Soulless society.

Natsuzo suddenly felt her forehead flick heavily with Edith's fingers.

"Pain, pain, pain, ......" Xia Zuo really felt a little pain.

Although Edith looks like a little girl, she is a real soul descendant after all, and her simple physical strength is far stronger than that of ordinary people, even if she just flicks her fingers like this, the strength is not small.

"I guess you've thought of something rude, brother. Edith pouted, looking a little unhappy, and stopped calling Xia Zuo "brother-sama".

"I mean ......"

"If the groom is really dead, then if we can find his body, then I can make him an undead spirit, so we can know what happened in the first place. ”

"Ahem...... I see. Xia Zuo coughed dryly and said a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Edith. ”

"Forget it, I won't worry about you. Edith suddenly stood on tiptoe and pinched Natsuzo's face.

"I'll go back first. ”

"I'll leave the matter to you, Melia. Edith let go of her hand.

"Goodbye, stupid brother. Edith suddenly smiled playfully, as if she hadn't been angry just now, and then jumped away, leaving Xia Zuo standing still thinking.

What a casual little girl.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but complain in his heart.

It's really dangerous to let such a casual little girl have such a strong power.

Luckily, she didn't seem to have any ill will towards me.

I don't know why, though.

Edith, she said that I had a smell on my body that she liked, and I don't have a clue for a while.

Forget it, don't think about it yet, now is not the time to think about it.

When the griffon incident is resolved, I'll have a chance to ask Edith again.

Ask why she was so nice to me.

Could it be that I'm really her brother? It's just because we were separated that I didn't know her?

Ah how is it possible, I think too much.

I don't want to.

The more I thought about it, the more inexplicable I felt anxious.

Anyway, let's get the griffon incident done first!

Now it's time to find clues about this mare!

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo stepped away, he was going to talk to the two guards.

See if you can get useful clues.

Although Viscount Saxophone seems to have ordered the guards and servants to talk about Leah, it is late at night, and Viscount Sachs, as well as Viscount Saxophone's henchman, should have already rested, even if he talks to the two guards about Leah at this time.

It's not necessarily going to be discovered by Viscount Saxophone, right?

Natsuzo thought as he strode down the path that the guards had walked before.

I won't avoid the two guards this time.

It's good to pretend that you can't sleep in the middle of the night and come out for a walk but get lost.

Xia Zuo thought.

Xia Zuo walked along the road, walking and walking, and suddenly saw a faint light that seemed to be moving.

It seems that the two guards are coming on patrol again.

Xia Zuo stepped forward.

"Hello. Xia Zuo greeted them, not loud or small.

After all, Xia Zuo didn't want to cause too much movement.

"Who are you?" The two guards heard Xia Zuo's voice, and immediately reacted with a shudder, and the two guards clenched their weapons and slowly approached Xia Zuo.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm a detective who came here to investigate during the day, and I couldn't sleep for a while to go out for a walk, and now I'm lost. Xia Zuo replied preparedly.

"Detective?" the tall guard guarded against Natsuzo, and then asked the other guard to take a closer look at Natsuzo with a kerosene lamp.

"During the day, detectives do come and stay. The guard who looked at Natsuzo muttered.

"Oh I remember, I've seen him during the day. Another tall guard who was originally guarding against Xia Zuo suddenly said.

It turned out that this tall guard was one of the guards who watched the gate during the day.

"He's really the guy of that group of detectives. ”

The other young guard breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, it's not an intruder.

"In that case...... Shall we take you back to the room, Detective?" asked the young guard respectfully.

After all, it is a guest who even the Viscount needs to be treated solemnly, and it cannot be polite.

"Thank you then. Xia Zuo thanked him, but felt that the situation was not very good.

Both of them were there, guarded by the taller, more conservative talker, and I felt like I couldn't properly ask about Leah.

Xia Zuo thought.

You'll have to find a good reason to ask about it.

Or find a way to break away from the tall, older guard, leaving only the young guard.

It was the young guard who had mentioned Leah's story before, and felt that asking him was more likely to lead to some clues.

Just then, another tall guard suddenly yawned.

"Then Neil, you can take the detective back to his room, anyway, my night patrol is basically over, plus the work of guarding the door during the day, I am tired to death. ”

"Now only His Excellency Detective is left with no patrols. ”

"I'm sorry for you. The tall guard said.

Good chance, it seems that I was lucky, so I left a guard, or the older guard who seemed more conservative.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"Alright, Brother Kander, you can go back and get some rest. The young guard named Neil replied.

The tall guard named Kander yawned again, then waved goodbye to Neil and Shazo and left.

Neil watched Kander leave, then looked at Shazo.

"Your Excellency, please come with me, and don't get separated. ”

"Okay, thanks. Xia Zuo hurriedly thanked him again, hoping that this would make the young guard feel a little more good about me, so that I would be able to ask questions later.

The young guard nodded at this, and then walked in front of Xia Zuo.

So Shazo followed Neil to the castle room.

The two walked on the dimly lit road, and Xia Zuo was worried that he would not find a reason to speak, but he didn't expect that the young guard seemed to talk a lot, and told Xia Zuo about the distribution of the castle's roads along the way.

"Speaking of which...... There's one thing I'm concerned about. ”

Taking advantage of Neil's strength, Xia Zuo spoke.

"What's the matter?" asked Neil, stunned.

"About the Leah you mentioned earlier. Xia Zuo decided to tell the truth.

Anyway, the young guards mentioned this matter at the time, and I think the young guard shouldn't be too taboo about it.

It's also thanks to the tall older guard who went back to rest first, otherwise I might not have been able to ask about it now.

"......" Neil was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Your Excellency Detective, did you hear our conversation?"

"Aha, sorry, I just accidentally heard it. Xia Zuo hurriedly apologized, "I'm really concerned about this matter, maybe this matter is beneficial to our investigation." ”

“...... All right. "The young guard will be skeptical.

"I'm really not as taboo about it as Big Candle...... But even then, it's risky for me to talk about it, and I need to get paid a little bit. Neil said.

"How much do you want?" Xia Zuo was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"Five Atlanta coins!"

The young guard smiled.
