In the early morning of the next day, the silence of Mason Castle was broken by the scream of a frightened woman, and Arold was also awakened from his sleep by this scream, he opened his eyes and sat up from his wooden bed, and the personal attendants and knights outside the door pushed open the door and walked in, their hands were pressed on the hilt of the sword at their waists, and they looked nervously at Arold who was sitting up on the wooden bed, and they were relieved to see Arold in pajamas safe and sound.

"Miya-sama, are you alright?" Ron walked up to Arrod's side and asked him worriedly.

"Do you hear someone screaming?" Arold rubbed his temples with his hand, he didn't know if it was his auditory hallucinations in his sleep, but looking at the nervous looks of the knights of the inner palace, a bad feeling welled up in his heart, he immediately lifted his quilt, jumped off the comfortable wooden bed, and walked a few steps to his window, as a great nobleman and the palace minister of the Duchy of Mason, the window of his room was close to the outside of the main tower of the castle, so that light and fresh air could enter the room without hindrance.

"Huh~~." Arold pushed up the wooden window frame, and looked down to see that in the open space outside the main tower, many panicked servants were running around, from the top of the tower it looked like ants had been stabbed in the nest, something was wrong, something must have happened, Arold hurriedly closed the wooden window frame.

"The squire dressed me." Arold commanded sharply, and the two little attendants hurriedly stepped forward, opened the wooden box containing the clothes, and put on a Germanic aristocratic dress for Arrod, who only slightly put on the clothes. He left his room in a hurry, and walked down the corridor under the protection of the knights of the Inner Palace, where the sound of footsteps rang out, and as he descended the steps, he happened to meet the Counts of Thuringia, Weimar, and Praun, and the three vassals were also puzzled.

"Oh, Lord Gongxiang, what happened, why are the servants so panicked?" The Count of Thuringia saw Arrod and hurriedly walked over and asked him.

"I don't know, Ron ordered the German mercenaries to strengthen the guards. Sergeant Majors and Company Commanders stick to their posts. Arold gave the order as he walked. At this time, a servant who ran in from outside the tower panicked and hit Arrod's body, provoking the inner knight next to him to pick up the thin manservant like a chicken, but Arold asked the inner knight to put down the frightened pale manservant and asked him. "Sue me, what do you see?"

"Yes. It's a dungeon. Something happened in the dungeon. The panicked manservant, his legs trembling, stammered in his voice.

"Dungeon? Hiss~~~. Arrod gasped in disbelief. Could it be that Baron Valk's father and son in the dungeon were killed? But in the dungeon, there are palace guards guarding, even if a few pigs are killed, they only need to snort a few times, and the guards in the castle will immediately notice, which is also the reason why Arrod does not believe that the bloody plot of witnesses being killed will happen to him, but this kind of thing happened to him, thinking of this, Arold couldn't help but rush towards the dungeon.

"It's terrible, why is this happening?"

"This morning, Casey brought food to the guards and guards in the dungeon, as usual, and when she entered the dungeon, she ran out of it in less than a moment like crazy, shouting that she had killed someone or something."

At this time, the entrance of the dungeon was crowded with a circle of people, they pointed at the inside of the dungeon, and talked a lot, when they saw the three vassal counts in the tower, and the palace minister of the Duchy of Mason, Arold, arrived, they all hurriedly made a way, and suddenly the sound that was still buzzing just now calmed down, and they could have nobles come forward I don't know why these servants settled down a lot in their hearts.

"Get out of the way and go back to your work." The Count of Weimar turned around, waved his thick arms, and loudly scolded the onlookers, who hurriedly dispersed under the scolding of the Count of Weimar, it seems that liking to watch the excitement is not necessarily the habit of the people of the Celestial Empire.

"Squeak." Arold didn't care about this now, he stood in front of the door of the dungeon, looking at the sturdy wooden door made of cedar wood, the door that should have been firmly locked from the inside, but now it was hidden, Arold stretched out his hand and pushed open the hidden wooden door, only to see the corpse of a palace guard lying on his back on the stone steps leading to the bottom of the dungeon, and the expression on the corpse's face was very calm, as if it had been attacked by surprise.

"Miya-sama, please be careful." Count Praun drew his sword, and he stretched out his left hand to put it on Arold's shoulder, reminding him that if there were still Assassins in the dungeon at this time, Arold would undoubtedly be very risky to raise his leg to enter.

"There's no way an assassin is still in a dungeon, this is a very professional professional assassin, oh, a professional assassin." Arold's eyes were fixed on the corpse that entered the dungeon, the dried blood oozing from under the heart of the corpse dyed the smock of the palace guard of the Duchy of Mason purple, Arold knew that the other party was using a sharp dagger from below, and the ribs in the chest cavity stabbed the palace guard's heart diagonally upward, the movement was fast and accurate, if it wasn't for the fact that Arold had been frantically chasing suspenseful American dramas for a period of time in his previous life, he would definitely not know so much.

"Oh?" Count Praun looked at Arrod in surprise, but he didn't expect that he could judge so much information just by looking at the corpse, and sure enough, Arrode's name of wisdom was as rumored by the outside world.

"Originally, the corpse should not be in this position, it was lifted by the other party as a shield, and it moved forward for a distance before it was gently put down, a little dust on the ground is enough to explain the problem, this footprint should be the maid who delivered the meal, and stepped on the corpse's thigh in a panic." Arold bent down like a detective, carefully observing the ground without missing any details, but unfortunately the professional assassin did not leave him with many clues, so Arold walked over the corpse and into the dungeon.

"Tick, tick~~~." The dungeon built underground, as damp as the dungeons of other castles, drops of water dripping from the top of the dungeon and blooming on the cold ground, Arold continued to walk towards the dungeon, and when he came to an apparently torture room, he saw a palace guard leaning against the doorway, his back against the cold wall, his legs spread apart, his head hanging limply, the blood below his neck staining the lining and smock purple.

"This unlucky guy must have heard the movement and walked out, someone slashed his throat from behind, it's so terrible, he can kill two strong palace guards in a row without a sound, well, the third palace guard was stabbed in the chest by a throwing knife and fell to the wooden table." The more he looked, the more frightened he became, when did there be such a terrible killer haunted in Mason Castle, which made him feel a chill in his back, when he saw Sir Andrew dead on the torture bed, this knight who had been tortured and bruised all over his body, naked but also experienced a lot of pain before he died, four iron spikes were inserted into his kidneys and lungs, iron thorns were the original torture tools.

"It's strange why you torture Sir Andrew like this if you want to kill him only by stabbing him in the heart with a dagger." Arold looked at the piece of linen in Sir Andrew's round eyes and mouth, which was flocculent, and he could see how much pain Sir Andrew had endured before he died.

Puzzled, Arold suddenly heard a noise in the dungeon, he immediately picked up a long-handled soldering iron on the wooden table, and used it as his weapon, in order not to destroy the scene Arold did not let Ron and other knights of the inner palace enter, he held the long-handled soldering iron tightly, and slowly walked to the direction of the sound, where were two rows of prisoners, he saw that on the iron fence of the third prison on the left, Baron Valk's hands were hanging out at the gap in the fence, and his head was tightly resting on the iron fence, Falling to the ground in a strange position, as if begging for something.

"It's not painful for this one to die." Arold walked over and glanced at the body of Baron Valk, who had been stabbed to death in the heart, but the death was painless, which was in contrast to Sir Andrew's death, as if the Assassin hated Sir Andrew very much, and acted impartially towards Baron Valk.

"Ahem, ahem." At this time, opposite the prison where Baron Valk died, there was a violent cough, Arold picked up the long-handled soldering iron and turned sharply, and saw the merchant Jeff curled up, holding his head tightly with both hands, he coughed violently a few times, and there were words in his mouth, and Arold approached and heard his voice.

"Oh don't kill me, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."

"Well, it seems that there are already direct eyewitnesses to this homicide." Arold put down the long-handled soldering iron he had raised, and he muttered to himself as he pestle the long-handled iron with both hands.

Wondering why the Assassin didn't kill Jeff, Arold knew that if he pried Jeff's mouth open, he would be able to catch the Assassin who was still at large in the castle, and the panicked Jeff was dragged out of his prison by the knights of the Inner Palace, while the bodies of the palace guards and Baron Valk's father and son were carried to the last room of the cell, awaiting further inquest.

"Tell me, Jeff, what happened to me last night?" Arold looked at Jeff, who was shivering on his knees, and asked him. (To be continued......)
