Simon and his son were stunned in place after Andre's words fell.

"No, it's not!"

When Barrow and Steward Brown jumped up and moved away from them, Master Simon came to his senses and waved his hand again and again.

"The person who tried to snatch things was indeed a full-fledged mage, although he was a disciple of a master, but that master would never participate in a struggle at this level!"

"In other words, you did provoke the strong, and you deliberately concealed this matter!" Andrei's face sank.

They wanted to experience the life of a mercenary, and they were aware of Lord Simon's concealment in advance, but they only thought that what they were provoking was nothing more than some trouble such as being framed by thieves and competitors.

Now that the situation has escalated, although they are not afraid of trouble, it does not mean that Master Simon is not at fault for their intentional concealment - some kind of Cheng dù, Master Simon's behavior can already be called intentional harm, which can be known only by looking at the reaction of Barrow and Brown.

"I—We didn't mean to!" Edward cried out in a panic.

"With the testimony of Captain Barrow, I didn't mean to leave you halfway!"

Seeing that the other party had no regrets and was in an unhappy mood, Andre did not deliberately restrain his mental strength.

The spiritual power of the official mage is more evil, and it has a lot of oppressive power on ordinary people, Master Simon is well-informed, and Andre is not under targeted pressure, he can barely hold on, but his son cannot.

Edward's face was pale, and the six gods trembled for a while, and suddenly lost his voice:

"You can't leave us behind! The mage who took Helena is also from a master's disciple, and if you send us back to the Gypsy city-state, we will definitely be rewarded! ”

"I'm afraid we won't have our lives to enjoy it!" Salin said lightly.

"No, they don't dare to act blatantly, unless they dare to provoke the confrontation between the two masters!"

"If they don't dare, how did your uncle's family die? Do you know that the other party is already in ambush on the road! If it weren't for us, you would have been corpses by now! Andre laughed at Edward's innocence.

Barrow glanced at him delicately, and the situation on the woodland was indeed done by the people of this mercenary group. They didn't even notice it.

Shirille's vindictive attributes, Barrow has already experienced, and there are no similar traces on the scene.

Then, those sword marks and the traces of the monster's bite can only be done by another male swordsman and the big black cat, and some of those corpses attacked each other and died, and some turned into dry corpses, most likely a mage participated in the battle.

Are they all full-fledged mages?

He didn't feel the civilized element on that male swordsman's body, so could it be that the other party was already a sword master? Black iron? Or, silver?

Barrow was secretly surprised by his guess. At the same time, he held Brown tightly.

The latter shook like chaff. I regret that I was nosy and meddled in this kind of thing. Pulling Barrow, "...... Okay, good fellow, let's get out of here while they are arguing! ”

Hurry up and urge the caravan to hurry. The farther away from these gangs, the better!

"I can't go, now that we already know the inside story, do you think they will let us go?" Barrow whispered helplessly.

After listening to the cause and effect, he had a slight bottom in his heart.

If Andre's strength is the same as he guessed, he may not be afraid of the big master disciple that Master Simon said, not to mention that now that they are gone, it is not certain that the people who ambushed Lord Simon will let them go, but it is inevitable to provoke the hatred of Andre and the Simon family.

When is the mercenary profession not the job of tying your head to your belt? There is only one life. Even if he provokes the master, he can't let him die one more time.

Of course, Barrow is life-saving, and he is also afraid of the power of the * division, but he is not afraid of Cheng Dù, who has lost his cool.

He secretly estimated in his heart that the other party would destroy the door at every turn. There may not be a way to survive if you leave now, and it may be safer to follow Andre's mercenary group.

When they arrived at the Gypsy city-state, the other party's focus was on Lord Simon and them, and it was estimated that they would not stare at these little shrimps.

André's side changed the situation, Edward was begging his father to take out the thing that had caused his death.

“…… Lord Simon, we are confused because your family has caused a big disaster, even if it is death, you must always find out before you die, and see what is causing the disaster to us, this is not an exaggeration! Salin played the red-faced role and smiled lightly, "If you don't even want to do this, then you can't blame us for leaving you alone!" ”

"Father, Master Salin's request is not excessive, you can take it out, it's not a treasure, we still can't figure out its use!" Fearing that Saleen's threat would come true, Edward persuaded his father.

Barrow and Brown stewards couldn't help but look at them curiously, while they were not only uneasy.

"Hey, okay!" Master Simon struggled for a moment, and finally sighed.

He knew that without Andrei's mercenary group, they would not have been able to reach Gypsys safely, and it was useless to hide things well now.

He got up and took off his robe, and then took off an undershirt, revealing the upper half of his white flowery body.

Both André and Barrow stared at him intently, without shying away.

Edward picked up the horsewhip that never left his hand, and untied a thin piece of gold leaf from the end of the handshake, the gold leaf was not as soft as pure gold, and the metal memory was very good.

Edward handed the piece of alloy to Lord Simon.

"I've been wearing this undershirt since I hit the road."

Master Simon explained, fumbled for a position on the collar, took the alloy piece handed by Edward, carefully identified the position, cut the seam of the collar little by little along the seam, and then took out a thin layer of black light yarn hidden inside.

"Veil?" Andrei wondered.

But Master Simon sighed, took down a small oil painting on the wall of the carriage, laid it flat, and spread the unfolded black yarn on top of the oil painting.

Strange things happened, after the black gauze was placed on the oil painting with the background, a complex figure was immediately revealed, faintly showing some faint lines.

"Ahh

Steward Brown exclaimed, and no one paid any attention to him, and everyone stared at the map that was faintly revealed after the oil painting and the black veil overlapped.

Master Simon carefully adjusted the position of the black yarn, and the lines of the map became more obvious, and everyone couldn't help but think:

Treasure, treasure, picture!

Mercenaries are the one class most closely associated with treasure. Barrow's gaze burned almost instantly, and Brown's breathing was a little short.

At first, Edward urged his father to take out the drawing, but at this time he seemed to regret it, standing closest to the painting, as if he was worried that someone would suddenly rise up and take it away.

Lord Simon was the only one who noticed everyone's looks.

He saw that, except for Andre and Salin's eyes burning slightly when the map was first shown on the black veil, they only showed a look of interest after that, and did not show half of the greedy look like Barro's and their eyes.

Such a reaction, if not really unshaken by this treasure map. It's that there is greater greed hidden in the heart.

Master Simon had a hunch. These two young men are the former. He relaxed slightly, glad for his previous choice:

If he had hired Barrow, he would not have exposed it, otherwise his family would have died. It's hard to say if it will be abandoned in the wilderness before being found.

"This black veil and this painting were sent by my niece and my brother respectively, and it happened to be my wife's birthday three months ago, and no one expected that there would be such a big secret hidden in the gifts sent separately!"

After getting dressed again and wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, Simon's words woke up Barrow and Brown stewards.

The two were slightly embarrassed, but Master Simon just pretended not to see it. Edward, on the other hand, glanced at them warily from time to time.

"Is this a treasure map, looking at the lines on it, it looks like it's still at sea? Since you didn't know about the relationship between the two gifts, how did you find out later? Saleen asked.

"I have a good relationship with my brother's family, and the material of this black yarn is natural sea silk from Ace Bay. It is quite precious, and my wife has always loved it and used it regularly. The day before leaving, when the maid was packing, the painting was taken down and put on the table, and the wind blowing the black veil on the canvas when the window was opened, and my wife saw the lines of the map, and realized the clue! ”

Master Simon assured, "No one expected such an inside story, we really didn't know it before we hired you!" ”

"Mr. Simon is still hiding some inside information!"

Andre put on a white face to the end, "If I were the one who was looking for them, most of them would also focus on your own family, or the legacy left by your brother's family, these black gauze and oil paintings have been in your house for so long, and have not been noticed, you really don't need to be so alarmed, as if you haven't found anything, isn't it even less noticeable?" ”

"Yes, why are you so panicked, as if you are sure that the other party has already targeted you and will come to the door sooner or later?" Salin echoed in disguise.

"Hey, I still can't hide it from the two mages!" Master Simon's face turned pale for a while, and then he said dejectedly, "What the two of you said is right, when they first coincided, a terrifying phenomenon occurred!" ”

Speaking of this, Lord Simon's Edward, who was caught in the memory, couldn't help but change color, fear and strong self-composure alternately appeared on their faces, and Lord Simon said in a somewhat trembling voice:

"In that painting, these landscapes were originally just the background, and in the center was the back of a girl in a white dress—the girl's ...... when the black gauze and the painting first coincided The ghost, which emerged from the painting, possessed the maid in the presence of my lady......"

At this point, he could not go any further, and Edward continued:

"My mother is a shallow believer, she just went to the church to bathe in holy water that day, and was not violated by the ghost, but the four innocent maids who were in the room at that time were all absorbed by the ghost, and when the ghost attached to the last maid, she also cursed my mother, saying that her master would come back to us sooner or later!"
