Chapter 149: The Devil's Guess

Locke led a few people to the gate of the city lord's mansion quickly, and the fat man secretly greeted them like a thief in a dark alley next to him, and he looked left and right from time to time.

"Don't look, it's just us around here."

Long before Locke and the others came, this place had been searched by the noble ghosts several times, and after making sure that there was no surveillance, they came over.

When it comes to prudence, Rock is no slouch to anyone.

After a few people met each other, they shuddered, and the fat man began to lead them towards the mansion where Count Ogilis was.

"What do you want to know, my lord? The field chicken must know everything. ”

Locke thought for a moment and asked:

"How much do you know about this count? Have you ever heard of the treasures of his ancestors? ”

When the fat man heard this, he was about to throw off his arms and start talking in the vernacular, but when he realized that he was not in the castle now, he immediately lowered his voice and said:

"I know, but I don't know much about the burial location, this is a secret of the old man's family, but if someone mentions the treasure to him, they will immediately turn their faces."

From the fat man's gushing speech, I learned that the old man named Ogris had a very bad temperament, and basically everyone looked down on him except the lord, and his style of acting could be said to be quite arrogant and domineering.

"I remember a viscount once told me that once when the lord's house was having a drinking party, a servant accidentally spilled some wine on the old man's shoes, and then the guy actually shouted in front of the public to chop off the servant's hand, and finally the lord himself came forward to persuade him to stop him, and it was said that the lord's face was black."

Why did the old man dare to be so arrogant? Because as an earl, he has the same title as a lord, and half of the shares of this Seth City are considered to be theirs, that is to say, Seth City is several times larger than a normal fortress, and it is completely composed of the territories of the two counts.

However, the old man is arrogant, according to the ancestral teachings and the laws of the empire, it is still Lord Padraic who has the final say here, at least on the surface.

That's all for the Earl of Ogris' house.

"My lord, may you ask why you want to know about the old earl?" Tian Ji asked.

Locke thought for a while, and told him the speculation that the treasure of the Earl's ancestor might be a great energy source, and suddenly shocked the fat man to the point that he couldn't speak, and finally kept sighing that the demon heart was sinister, if it was really an energy source, then let alone a human being, once the demons knew, they would ensure that everyone shouted and rushed out of hell like dogs desperately, and then the material world would be a real living being.

"The saying that the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty of his own guilt makes sense in any world, and the old man's ancestor is a man who understands." Speaking of this, Locke looked at the fat man, frowned and asked, "You really don't know where the treasure is buried?" ”

The fat man scratched his head, and just wanted to say that he didn't know, but suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly replied:

"I heard from a general who was close to him that their house was strange, that when I used to visit their house, I could always hear the sound of chains dragging the ground at night, and that the head maid had not been seen for some time, as if she had disappeared—the general seemed to like the head maid."

After Locke listened, he looked at George and Rhaedia, and he couldn't be wrong, the first evil spirit said that it had served the Count's family for many years, so let's assume that it was the words of the missing head maid.

"We have one more Nemisis, maybe the head maid, and I'll tell you the reason later, is there anything else?" Locke said lightly.

The fat man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, then he thought about it and nodded, "Yes, it's about this maid chief." ”

"The general must have taken a fancy to someone's house, so he came to the earl's house twice in three days, but one night, when he got up at night to pee, he seemed to see the chief maid come out of the earl's study with a broken lock, and greeted him very politely when he met him......

Lock?

The truth of the matter was finally revealed, and George and Rhetia next to him even Amy had such an expression, which made the fat man even more strange to see, can't you all know, I was alone in the dark.

Seeing the fat man's anxious look, Locke explained the ins and outs to him with a smile, and after listening to it, the fat man thought for a while and asked:

"You mean, the passage of that treasure is probably in the cabinet of the Earl's study? The head maid just accidentally broke the lock, and although she didn't know what mechanism was triggered, the murderous Count didn't want to make a fuss, so he killed her and abandoned her in the wilderness? ”

Locke nodded, these things should have happened some time before the lord's expedition, as for now......

"You said before that the old man has been closed since he came back, does he stay in the bedroom or in the study?" Locke asked.

"Study!" The fat man was sure, "After all, some maids have to go over to deliver food, and rumors between them will more or less spread out." ”

That's right, the treasure entrance is likely to be in the cabinet in the study!

After the matter came to light, Locke and the others couldn't help but speed up their pace - I really want to see the treasure soon!

Just when a few people were full of joy, Amy, who was holding Locke's arm, probed and asked Tian Ji, "Fatty, do you know about another evil spirit?" ”

"The other one?" Tian Ji looked strange and turned his head to look at Locke.

When he learned of the origin of the second evil spirit, the fat man was silent, and finally scratched his head and said:

"It's like..... Well..... I heard that the old man used to adopt an adopted daughter, and his personality was a little afraid of life, but he was very polite, but he disappeared a long time ago. ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard it: it should be that the little guy was too naughty, and he triggered the secret passage of the mechanism by mistake, and then was knocked unconscious and dragged away without any defense, and then abandoned the corpse in the wilderness.

"This old man is really cruel enough, and the daughter who has been raised for so long will kill him if he says ......"

As soon as George was halfway through speaking, Locke and Tian Ji turned their heads to stare at him with strange expressions, and when the latter saw it, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly shut up and was silent on the side—didn't Rhedia's father burn his three daughters alive as sacrifices.

"Go on? What happened to you? Amy asked curiously as she looked at George, she didn't like it when someone was talking halfway through, but the vampire didn't say anything anyway.

Unlike Amy, the thoughtful Retia seemed to understand something from the expressions of several people, and turned her head strangely to look at Locke, trying to prove her conjecture from him.

Locke looked at her, smiled and shook his head, and said nothing.

"What's wrong with you guys one by one?" Amy asked curiously.

A few people who were still in the midst of a heated discussion just now, what happened to the sudden coldness?

"Ahem, don't say that again." Locke changed the subject, "Fatty, how far is it?" ”

"Just turn the corner ahead."

Soon, everyone stood in front of the gate of the Earl's Palace, which was no less large and magnificent than the Lord's Palace.

A few guards at the door who were still dozing off saw so many people coming in the middle of the night, and they immediately became nervous, and they were about to ask questions, but they were immediately controlled by vampires.

After that, a few people walked lightly towards the Earl's Palace, and under the control of George and the newly joined adjutant, a large number of red-eyed soldiers suddenly opened the way for them.

Before coming to the study, several people pushed the door in, and at the same time let all the soldiers stay outside the door, and no one could approach.

However, Locke is not very comfortable with these human soldiers, if he has a four-armed demon now, he can arrange it around, after all, with that guy here, as many people as he comes, they will die.

Unfortunately, Dolga's construction requires a castle tier 4 to work, and the energy cost is also very high - the energy problem is imminent.

Entering the study, although it looks large, it is no different from the ordinary aristocratic office room.

Soon, a few people found one of the inconspicuous cabinets in a row of bookcases—it was just that its lock was a little newer than the others, and when it was opened, it was no different, and the rows of books were full.

But I still can't stand the tinkering of a few well-intentioned people, and finally they found the mechanism as they wished - behind one of the books, there is a dark grid that makes a hollow sound when it is knocked inside, and after it is smashed, a pull rope appears, and after being pulled, the entire cabinet begins to extend forward, and the next moment, the secret passage behind the cabinet comes out.

Everything is the same as it was reasoned in advance.

This excites the demons to death.

"Caesar."

Locke was happy with them, and summoned the ghoul captain and the 20 younger brothers behind him - since there were no assassins to use, they had to take a step back, Locke looked at them and said, "You are in charge of staying in the study, if anyone dares to break in by force - I don't want to see their bodies when I come out, understand?" ”

The ghouls each groaned softly, indicating that they would eat it clean.

There are only two kinds of people who can come here, one is the maid, which is blocked by the human soldiers outside the door, and the other is a premeditated third party - experienced ghouls will teach them the most professional reincarnation posture.

Arrange everything, lead the team into the dark passage, inside is the passage all the way down, black and narrow, the width is only suitable for two people in parallel, walking in front of naturally Locke, but under the strong advice of others, called a ghoul to open the way in front.

The passage looked quite long, and several people lowered their excited voices to discuss what they might encounter in front of them, but judging from such a narrow passage, large objects could not enter, after all, portal technology was not something that a single human earl could master.

After walking for a while, the pavement of the passage began to flatten out, and a double-opening stone gate appeared in front of everyone.

"I don't know what's behind the door." (To be continued)
