Act XVII. interrogate

The sound of dripping water was very clear to Shilo's ears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

An hour had passed since he escaped from Prince Leotis.

Shiloh escaped to the first floor of the villa with the help of the collapse caused by his skills, and then did not rashly cross the extremely tight security line of the mansion, but hid in the kitchen in the corner of the first floor.

He naturally knew that Prince Leotis would immediately strengthen the vigilance around him, and if he escaped with a big grin at this time, he would inevitably be shot on the spot, leaving no room for explanation.

Touching a tablecloth, Shiloh tore it into long strips, and then slowly pulled out the dagger on his chest, and blood gushed out on the spot, but Shiloh immediately used a burning knife to stop the bleeding from the wound, and then bandaged the wound with the first aid technique he learned before, thanks to the welfare of this traverser, the wound did not become more serious, and after using the divine light technique to return the health value, all that remained was to wait for Shiloh's own recovery power to make it completely heal.

Nine deaths, Shiloh felt that it was not an exaggeration to describe his experience in such a sentence.

Almost all of his equipment is now in the resurrection time, and the most important inheritance will take another day to use again, and if Shiloh encounters Geralhide or Hicrates again, then he will be killed in seconds.

Therefore, although he knew that he should seek the protection of Viscount Wellington and the others now, he did not dare to act rashly. Shiloh lies in the corner, the dimly lit kitchen smelling of blood, but it's also just the right place to hide his breath, making it a great place to hide.

Shiloh planned to wait until it was dark before going to Viscount Wellington for help, but he thought about it, since Prince Leotis dared to act so boldly, then it was very likely that there would be ambushes from behind, maybe Viscount Wellington was also in danger at the moment, and now that the Wendland army was overwhelmed, they didn't have the time to fight.

Just as Shiloh was thinking about his next plan, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open.

Shiloh hurriedly hid in the shadows in the corner, he held his breath, his hand clenched Ulster's broken teeth, although this dagger did not have much effect, but it could also defend himself, Shiloh peeked at the people who came in, his heartbeat accelerated slightly.

"These noble lords are really a waste, obviously there are so many things on the plate, I really don't understand the hard work of our ordinary people."

The other party said to himself, and from the sound of his voice, it seemed to be a middle-aged woman.

"If I were a lord, I would be able to eat butter and bread for a day."

She walked over to the cutting board, removed her apron from the wall, tied it to her body, first sorted the vegetables on the table, then put the onions and potatoes for dinner into the basket, and prepared to wash them by the sink, completely oblivious to the figure approaching behind her.

"There don't seem to be many onions, so I'm going to tell that guy Green to go to the cellar and get some—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt her mouth covered by a warm palm, while something cold and hard pressed against her neck, and in the war-torn times, she immediately understood her current situation, so she fell silent.

"Don't move, or don't blame me."

Shiloh pretended to be vicious, imitating the kidnappers in the novel movie.

"I—I'm just a cook, I just arrived at this castle, I—I don't know anything, beg your lord to spare ......"

Her voice was unsteady and her legs began to tremble.

"Let me ask you, what nobles have been to this villa recently?"

While not much hope a cook would know much military intelligence, Shiloh knew that he could at least pick up the recent changes in the number of nobles in the mansion from the kitchen.

If the nobles had stayed in this Cainzburg, then Prince Leotis would have received more guests and the kitchen would have consumed more, and if it was the other way around, there were only two people, Prince Leotis and Geralheide, as they are now, then not too many ingredients would have been used.

"Before, in the other day, many nobles had lived here, but they had left yesterday evening, as if they had heard that they had gone north...... Great, my lord, I've only been here for a few days, and I don't know anything. ”

She said tremblingly, for fear that Shiloh would kill herself if she didn't agree with her.

"Tell me what else you know."

Shiloh thought as he continued to press.

"I really don't know...... Oh yes, John, uh, I mean my husband, who was feeding His Royal Highness the Prince in the stables as he seemed to have heard the nobles talk about an army coming this way, like a deserter from some fortress......"

It's Archmage Elwin.

Shiloh's eyes lit up suddenly, it seemed that Archmage Elwin also wanted to come to Keynzburg to join Prince Leotis, but listening to the tone of those nobles, these people did not want to treat the remnants of the Fourth Legion of the Trestan Fortress well.

This is normal, from the point of belonging, the Trestan Fortress belongs to the forces of Princess Erifels, if Prince Leotis's plan is discovered, then this team of more than 1,000 people will inevitably cause him a lot of obstacles, so he must not be willing to let this army step into his territory.

However, this is a good thing for Shiloh, he can get the help of Archmage Elwyn to rescue Her Royal Highness, but first, he needs to contact Viscount Wellington.

"Did you hear any rumors of a riot or anything like that this afternoon?"

Shiloh asked, he needed to know what the outside world was like now, otherwise he would go out casually and risk falling into the trap of Prince Leotis.

"Report, report to your lordship, it seems that several noble lords who have come recently have left the castle, and the rest, I don't know."

Leaving the castle, why?

Shiloh was stunned, but immediately understood.

I'm afraid that Viscount Wellington did not "leave" the castle, but like Princess Eliefils, they were placed under house arrest, God knows how many masters are still hidden around Prince Leotis, just with the silver-level Viscount Wellington, in the case of a sneak attack, it is difficult for them to get out like Shiloh, more likely, one of them has already died, Shiloh did not continue to think about it, he only knows now that this castle is no longer safe.

"Hmm...... Wait, your voice...... Is it the ...... of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

The woman asked, and Shiloh was startled, and then remembered the slightly familiar taste he had eaten at lunch.

"You're Hannah. Srein? ”

Yes, this is the peasant woman that Shiloh and Princess Eliefils rescued in the Midland village of Merrill Territory before, and it seems that she followed Princess Elifils's advice and came to the Kainz Territory, and now she meets Shiloh, which can be regarded as the cause of fate.

"Great, sir?"

"Looks like you're doing pretty well, listen, Lady Srein, I need you to do me a favor."

Releasing his right hand holding the dagger, Shiloh whispered. (To be continued.) )
