418. A single-family brick house in the manor
"Well, because I am the granddaughter of the village chief, I have been able to practice martial arts well since I was a child, while the rest of the village does not have that condition, and because of this, I have not communicated well with anyone else in the village, so I don't even have a friend. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Speaking of this, Sha You couldn't help but bow his head a little lonely.
"Alas, it's sad, but don't worry, Sayo, Arya will be your friend from today onwards, and you will no longer be alone." The middle-aged man sighed, then said with a kind smile reappearing on his face.
"Hmm." Sayo raised her head, looked at Arya's family with great emotion, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers.
"By the way, Sayo, you and Arya haven't eaten yet, I'll take you to the restaurant for a bite to eat." The noblewoman, Arya's mother, smiled.
"Then I'm sorry for you." Sayu immediately bowed to Arya's mother.
Arya's mother then got up and left the living room with Sayo and Arya, and the middle-aged man left as well, heading for the other rooms.
Seeing that he was the only one left in the living room, Rowan also left the living room, so he walked downstairs and thought, "Did I really guess wrong?" Is this Arya's family really kind and good people? ’
But that conversation was too much to care about, alas, judging from the current situation, this girl named Shayou should indeed have met a rare good family in the imperial capital. ’
Then what I did all the way from tracking someone's carriage and sneaking into someone's house was like a stalker, so forget it, I'd better sneak out quickly, this kind of fact is too embarrassing. ’
Thinking of this, Rowan couldn't help but quicken his pace, and he quickly walked down the stairs to the first floor, and then walked out through the castle gate. However, just as he was about to walk in the direction he had turned in, a trace of a smell that would never appear in the homes of ordinary people suddenly wafted into Rowan's nose.
Rowan paused, then immediately sniffed carefully at the faint scent. Then his pupils shrank sharply, and his eyes snapped in one direction inside the manor.
"This taste. It was the smell of rotting corpses and blood mixed together, how could such a smell appear in a nobleman's home. After whispering softly, Rowan's heart was filled with vigilance and uneasiness again, and he immediately ran in the direction where the smell came from at a very fast speed.
After running for about a few hundred meters, a high-roofed brick house like a ranch warehouse appeared in Rowan's sight. The brick house was kept with heavy iron gates locked.
The windows on both sides were also pitiful, and they were completely covered by thick curtains, and all the scenes inside the room were not revealed, as if this was a prison built by Arya's family.
The smell of rotting corpses and blood came from this house, and although it was not as strong as the smell of ghouls eating humans when Rowan visited the demon camp, it was only slightly weaker.
Thinking that there were at least two villages, and the strong stench of hundreds of families that would only emit when people died and decayed, from this small house, Rowan couldn't help but feel as cold as if he was in an ice cellar.
After looking around for a moment to make sure no one was around, he quickly walked over to the iron door, and then lightly touched his right hand against it. The locked iron door lock instantly unlocked automatically as if it had been opened by the corresponding key.
Then, Rowan gently opened the iron door, revealing a gap large enough for one person to pass through. However, just by revealing such a gap, the stench of the rotting corpse instantly rose dozens of notches.
Rowan even felt a fishy wind rushing towards him like a beast, and he immediately held his breath to avoid smelling the disgusting smell.
Then, he dodged straight into the airtight dark brick house.
After coming to the inside of the brick house, his eyes instantly became pitch black, but soon his eyes adjusted to the darkness, and then the light that came in from the open iron door, Rowan finally looked down on everything in the brick house, but all this shocked him, and an unbelievable look appeared in his eyes:
"This, how is it possible?"
I saw that this brick house was divided into two floors, the first floor is where Rowan is now, and this is just a platform, and the second floor is the underground plaza that is believed to have been carved out.
There were hundreds of cages, large and small, and all sorts of gruesome torture instruments scattered throughout the square, and even some stabbing holes, snake holes, and iron cage arenas where a dozen hungry wolves were held.
And among the hundreds of cages, all kinds of rotting corpses are piled up, some of which have even been completely filled with corpses squeezing each other. The corpses had all sorts of unsightly wounds, and Rowan could clearly imagine how terrible the torture these people had endured before they died.
In addition, there are also some corpses that can't help but have all kinds of wounds all over their bodies, as well as terrible symptoms caused by various viruses, bacteria, and diseases, such as a swollen neck like a balloon, all kinds of rotten wounds that break open and suppurate, and disgusting hands and feet like withered branches.
These diseases, Rowan can directly judge from them what the cause is, and judging from the dense needle holes on the arms of those corpses, these diseases they have are obviously caused by people who have deliberately injected viruses or used other methods to cause them.
And the platform that Rowan was on was not a design error, only to see that in front of this platform, that is, above the underground square, dozens of naked corpses covered in wounds were hoisted with more than a dozen rows of iron crossbars.
The corpses, all female, had their hands shackled to iron bars, and they hung naturally in front of the platform, and could easily be whipped at them with a leather whip, and other instruments of torture long enough could be used as well.
On either side of the platform, there are even several elaborate and ornate comfortable seats, which are obviously used to allow people to "see" the sights in front of them or the hanging corpses.
Even for a closer look, several single iron cages were placed on either side of the platform, which were also filled with rotting corpses with various wounds and pathologies.
