Chapter 154: Doubts in the Courtyard

As night fell, the lights suddenly brightened in the vast wilderness, and for a time people couldn't open their eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info (advertisement) After calming down for a while, I followed the light and looked at it, and I don't know when a garden was set up not far away. The three of them walked briskly forward, and soon came to the gate of the courtyard, which was unguarded and hidden.

"What does that mean?" Louis said, "Did you really know that we were coming, and opened the door to greet you?" ”

"That's not right!" Lucia's nose twitched twice, "I smell blood." She turned to Xuanyu, "The smell is strong, it's coming from here." ”

Xuanyu looked at the hidden door, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since you are here, you must go in to see what is going on." But I warn you," he looked down at Lucia, "if I can't get out in a moment, you must capture the twins alive, and the whereabouts of the real gem will probably fall on them." ”

"Yes!" Lucia smiled, matching her half-playful and half-serious tone, as if the task assigned by Xuanyu was a trivial matter for her.

Although he didn't know Lucia's true strength, Louie knew that the twin puppets themselves were already very powerful, and now they were going to be captured alive, I am afraid it would be even more difficult.

It seems that Xuanyu is also aware of this, and he did not forget to add: "The most powerful move of the twin demon puppets is the summoning technique, who knows how many mutated demon beasts they have in their hands, so you must defeat the enemy with one blow this time, win with speed, and don't give them a chance to summon." ”

"Got it!" Lucia said impatiently, "You don't want to be a mother-in-law, you don't know what I can do." ”

Xuanyu chuckled and pushed open the door of the courtyard. I thought it should be a picture of hell inside, but there was nothing unusual in front of me. The courtyard, as Louis had seen earlier, had three houses, one on the front, one to the left and one to the right, with a waterhole in the middle. The room facing the main door was lit up, where Louis had seen Maddie and the Twins.

Louis walked around the waterhole and towards the room. But before he could reach the door, the door opened first, and Maddie poked her head out of it. This was something Louis had not expected, and with the lack of shelter in front of the door, she had no way to dodge.

"Ah, isn't this Captain Grande?" Maddie was a little surprised to see Louie, "Did the Earl tell you about this place?" ”

Maddie just reminded Louis of this, and she rolled her eyes and continued: "That's right, Lord Count asked me to come and see Grace." She...... It's inside......" Louis said, glancing through the door, but only a corridor could be seen.

"Mademoiselle is indeed recuperating here," Maddie's words made Louis breathe a long sigh of relief, of course, she didn't expect Maddie's words to lift her spirits even more, "but now the illness is almost better." ”

"If that's the case, that's great!" Louie laughed, "Can we meet?" ”

"Of course," Maddie said, opening the door and leaning back two steps, "Miss is inside." ”

Louis stepped inside, and at this moment, the door was suddenly grabbed by Xuanyu, his hand was between Maddie and Louis, and his eyes stared sharply at the maid behind the door: "I heard that Miss Countess has been seriously ill, why is it okay?" ”

"The new doctor has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate." Maddie said.

"yes, I'd be interested in meeting this miracle doctor." Xuanyu Road.

"The doctor has already returned, and besides, this is the earl's annex, not a place for you as an outsider." Maddie said coldly.

The corners of Xuanyu's mouth went up, and she withdrew the hand that was holding on to the door. The door was completely open at this moment, and Louis saw a long and narrow corridor in front of him, and there was a person standing about five or six meters away, although the light was slightly dim, he could still recognize the face, it was Grace! At this time, she was waving to Louie, innocent and romantic, smiling as before.

Without thinking too much, Louis raised his feet and ran towards Grace, but as soon as he entered the corridor, he felt that something was wrong, the ground was as dark as a pool of stagnant water, and the walls were in a trance, and Grace's smile was gradually blurred not far away, and he hurried a few steps forward, only to find that his childhood friend had always kept a certain distance from her.

"Not good!" When Louis realizes that something is wrong, it is too late, and the ground beneath his feet collapses, turning into a whirlpool that consumes her body. Louis struggled deeper and deeper, and in the blink of an eye he touched the top of his head, leaving only an outstretched arm.

Just when Louie's consciousness gradually faded, she felt her hand grabbed and jerked upward, and in an instant her body broke away from the darkness, and she looked up while breathing in the air, it was Xuanyu! Immediately after, a strong light emanated from his body, followed by a whirlwind of vibrations, and everything around him began to fade its original color, becoming transparent until it disappeared. When Louis came to his senses, he found himself back at the gate of the courtyard, with Xuanyu and Lucia standing behind him.

"What's going on?" Louis stood up and asked Xuanyu.

"I'm afraid I've fallen for their tricks since I entered this courtyard just now." Lucia said and turned to Xuanyu.

Xuanyu exhaled, looking a lot more relaxed: "It was really a shot just now, and such an illusion is rare." ”

"Illusion?" Hearing this, Louis was saddened, "I was really happy to see Grace just now." ”

"What happened to Grace needs to be confirmed." Xuanyu said as she stepped forward and pushed the gate of the courtyard again, but this time it was not as easy as last time, and the door was locked.

"Looks like we need to go over the wall!" Louis Road.

"This level of locking ......" Lucia stepped forward and took out a small wire from her pocket, "You can't even use magic......" she said as she **** the wire keyhole, and after two clicks, she heard a "click" and the door was opened.

"I can't believe you still have the ability to do this." Xuanyu sighed with emotion, "This is also what you learned in the first half of your life?" ”

Lucia smiled and scratched her head: "This is a skill that I learned during my travels, and I don't have to overwhelm myself......

Louis, who was once righteous and awe-inspiring, felt dazzling when he saw Lucia's action of sliding the door and picking the lock, but he was helpless, and now he was no different from a thief, so she could only turn a blind eye when she thought about it.

After the door opened, the three of them quietly entered, and the courtyard was still the same scene, facing them was a circular waterhole, and behind the waterhole was the house where Louis had almost died, and the lights were still on, and the two rooms on the left and right were still pitch black. This time, Louie hesitated, and she looked back at Xuanyu. It's just that Xuanyu's gaze stayed on the circular pool, and she didn't notice Louie's inquiring eyes.

Louie went around the waterhole again and came to the door of the room, where he saw a figure printed on the window on the second floor, which was unclear but seemed to be Maddie's, and he saw her walking back and forth, as if anxious.

"It's not helpful to just look at it like this, it's better to come directly!" Lucia stepped forward and knocked on the door three times.

The figure in the window stopped at the sound of a knock on the door, then vanished. Immediately afterward, Louis heard a rush of footsteps coming downstairs through the door, and soon the door opened.

"Doctor Brady, you're finally here, Grace she's ......" Maddie said as she opened the door, but the moment she saw Louie, she choked back, "Captain Grande, why are you?" Maddie shook her mouth, looking incredulous.

"Maddie, what is wrong with Grace, is it serious?" Louis asked bluntly.

At this time, Maddie's eyes were already full of tears: "Miss, she is very sick, but the Earl will not let me reveal it. ”

"Why?" Louis Road.

"Mademoiselle is mad, and the Earl thinks it's a shameful thing...... Maddie cried as she spoke.

"How so......" continued Louis, "and how is she now?" ”

Maddie said: "A doctor came a few days ago, and the young lady has already improved, but today it has deteriorated for some reason. When you knocked on the door, I thought the doctor was coming. ”

"Let me meet her!" Louis Road.

Maddie thought for a moment: "Since you're here, I don't think I can hide it anymore." Let me see you, but if the Count is to blame, you will intercede for me. ”

"Of course!" Louis agreed, and then rushed into the room.

Xuanyu and Lucia, who followed closely behind, were blocked by Maddie: "Although you are friends with Captain Grande, Miss doesn't know each other, please wait outside." ”

With that, Maddy slowly closed the door, but just as the door was about to close, through the smaller and smaller crack in the door, Xuanyu and Lucia saw a strange smile on Maddie's face.
