There was a bit of silence between the two, as if they were thinking about such a proposition in their hearts.

After a few moments, Brando asked, "Antitina, do you know what your father did before?" ”

The staff lady shook her head slightly: "I don't know, since the day I became sensible, my life was quite peaceful and prosperous, and it was no different from other families of our class. In Pragues, my father had several estates, and his source of livelihood was relatively stable until his last days disappeared, and I only know that my father had a struggling time when he was younger, but neither my father nor my mother told me about it. ”

Brando pursed her lips slightly.

He was wondering what the letter was about 'the picture of the truth of the facts and the fragmentary riddles that had come to take shape,' what had happened to them and his grandfather, and who Her Royal Highness the princess to whom the letter was referring — he was sure that it would not be Princess Griffiin, who and Haruzer had not yet been born at that time. In the end, why did these insignificant cultists have such a letter in their hands, and everything is one, it is unlikely that Magske and Tester would hand over such an important thing to a group of minions.

The fact that these outlaws had so carefully placed the letter in the cover of the Code of All Things was clearly aware of the value of the letter.

"Antitina," Brando said, raising the letter, "do you think they could possibly find a way to see the contents of this letter?" ”

He was referring to the cultists, but Antitina glanced over and shook her head decisively and affirmatively: "They can't see it, but what makes this letter show words is my father's family's unique method." ”

"By the way," Brando suddenly remembered, "how did you recognize this letter?" ”

Antitina was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Because my father's letter has a special mark on it, and this mark can hide it from them, but not from me." ”

"But you haven't seen this parchment before, have you?" Brando was a little puzzled.

Antitina opened her mouth and was stunned for a moment before replying, "My lord, Dean told me that these people had broken into my house and found my father's old mansion in Juan District, and I was already suspicious at that time. I think they probably got the news of my father's inheritance from some source, and the letter may have reached them in this way, but they may not have read it, otherwise it would not have been in vain. ”

Brando pressed her hand to the parchment, caught by Antitina's words: "You say they worked in vain. You already knew that your father's inheritance was not there, by the way, where did you say your parents first lived? ”

"In the Old Town, Squirrel Man Street—"

While Brando and Antitina discussed, Freya and Little Phoenix assisted the patrol cavalry to spy on the restless cultists, and after a night of tossing, the eastern sky soon turned faintly white, and after Tadisha sank to the horizon, a new day had arrived.

The patrol cavalry cleared the hunter's camp before dawn, and Eugene thanked Brando repeatedly as he left, and the captain of the patrol cavalry complimented him with great satisfaction, as if it was important to be able to get in touch with the Earl compared to this small achievement.

Brando didn't dismantle him, but thanked him sincerely. The two men parted outside the forest, and the young men who patrolled the cavalry were very impressed with the unassuming Earl, and repeatedly told him that he must visit them while the outlaws were hanged, and Brando could not understand how these men were so interested in hanging, as if it were not murder but some kind of entertainment. Eugen also promised to convince the House of Nobles to issue him a bronze Order of the Starflame, but the Order of the Starflame had been proliferating since the Anson era, and was not as valuable as the Order of the Candle, which only the royal family and the Temple of Fire were eligible for.

……

The old town of Squirrel Row had been completely transformed into the confines of the public cemetery after the Whistling Years, not too far from Antitina's home on Gravedigger's Street, only to pass through the sparsely populated and cold streets facing the Great Underground Crypt in the daytime. The cemetery was located behind a temple belonging to the Grim Reaper, which was quietly located at the junction of Grey Squirrel Street and Gravedigger Street, and Brando asked Dean to buy off the monks in the temple before agreeing to let them enter the public cemetery to have a look, and the old monk in the gray-brown robes led them through the large and small cloisters supported by countless arches, and then through a small door to the back of the temple, through a forest, and then into the confines of the public cemetery.

It was a quiet place surrounded by trees, with many nameless and famous tombstones in the open space between the canopy arches, and several stone paths leading into the mist, unexplained depths of the woodland.

"He's not worried about us?" Freya asked in surprise when she saw the old monk return to the temple and close the door.

"He's a coward, I've heard of a lot of legends about this cemetery, and I've heard that there are many strange things roaming the woods here, and that every year people are killed in the vicinity." Little Phoenix replied dismissively.

"It's not that scary, it's just to deceive outsiders, because someone wants to use this cloak to do something illegal here—murder, secret deals, whispers in the forest are all conspiracies and poisonous schemes, but in fact, these old monks are the ones who know best," Dian smiled and replied after listening to little Phoenix's words, "Anyway, as long as someone pays, he doesn't care what we do." ”

"But they're not afraid ......?" Even though she had seen a lot, Freya still couldn't believe it.

"These are all open secrets, tomb robbing and selling corpses, and there are even necromancers who secretly buy corpses from which monks as research materials, there is a huge underground black market here, how can those monks not know?"

Freya exhaled softly, a little disgusted: "What blasphemy. ”

"Necromancers believe in Martha, too, don't they?" Dean replied nonchalantly.

Freya looked at him with a frown, and the young man realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added: "Those monks are inextricably linked to the Temple of Fire, even the nobles are not willing to provoke them, besides, the nobles have family tombs, they are not willing to interfere, what can we do." Most of those necromancers are members of the gray realm, and ordinary people dare not offend them. ”

Freya knew that he was telling the truth, and although she did not want to listen, she only frowned and did not speak, and she clenched her teeth tightly, making people fear that if the old monk appeared in front of her again, she would draw her sword and stab her heart.

There was no expression on Brando's face, Dean said that these were things he was used to, but it was not necessarily true to say that there was no danger in this cemetery, how could a normal place be as foggy and gloomy as it was in the daytime here, and the visibility was no more than ten meters? Surrounded by trees, as if the sun could not penetrate, it was just after noon, but in the cemetery it seemed like ten in the evening—and it was cloudy. The supernatural mystery comes from underground, where there is a much larger cemetery, the underground public graveyard of Pragues, which is full of dangers and corpses and moving bones, and not many people have dared to enter it since the Whistling Years.

But that wasn't what they were here for, and he asked Antitina beside him, "Antitina, are you sure it's here?" ”

The temperature in the cemetery dropped several degrees from outside, and Antitina's face was a little blue from the cold, and she pressed her shawl and replied in a low voice: "The neighborhood around that area was demolished and designated as a cemetery twenty years ago, but I heard that my parents had luckily kept the house they had rented, and there was a grave keeper living there. ”

"There's a grave keeper here?" Freya was slightly surprised, she thought that this place was lawless at all.

"At least nominal," Antitina was a local after all, and she had heard more or less what Dean said, but she didn't want to speak, she frowned, "I heard that he helped the grave robbers transport the corpses out of the house, and ran this shady business. ”

"Industry." Freya almost fainted.

Brando heard her teeth cluck from the side.

It didn't take long for them to find the house where the grave keeper lived, Antitina still had the direction she remembered, and Dean could actually find the place - they walked through the lush forest and the tombstones, and saw a two-story detached wooden house standing alone in the depths of the forest through the mist. Dean had already contacted the grave keeper, who naturally didn't know Brando's identity, but when he heard that a nobleman had arrived, he thought he had encountered a big deal, and he had already waited respectfully in front of him.

The grave keeper is called Old Slippery Head, whose real name has long been forgotten, like a skeleton buried in the ground, and he looks exactly like the image of this profession in Brando's mind, which makes people think that he has met a living corpse demon - hunched over and hunched over, similar to the eccentric Quasimodo in Notre-Dame Cathedral, except that the latter has a noble heart, and the former only has a bad belly; It is difficult to see his age, his face is full of wrinkles, but his eyes are still vivid, as if they are always turning gloomy thoughts, the top of his head has been bowed, and there are still a few sparse hairs left to stand lazily and lazily, as if they are the shrinking and reproduction of the woods in this mist.

Freya looked at this guy coldly, but Brando didn't bother to embarrass such a little person, in fact, sometimes these shady industries may not be what these people are willing to do, he understands that in this era when everyone has more or less lost something, the blame should not be counted on a certain person, otherwise it will be pure anger. But this doesn't mean that he is willing to deal with this kind of person too much, he glanced at this guy, and even didn't have the heart to greet him, and asked directly: "What do we want, you already know it, right?" ”

The grave keeper nodded hurriedly and handed over a bunch of keys to Brando, which Dean had already given him a long time ago, and although he did not know what the young nobleman wanted to borrow his house for, he at least knew Dean, and the young man gave him a large sum of money—which could not have been Dean's. He knew very well that he couldn't ask more about anything in this place, who knew what this nobleman wanted to do, the more he knew, the more dangerous it was, not to mention that the nobles had some weird habits, he quietly glanced at the two beautiful girls behind Brando, and there were some unsightly thoughts in his heart, but there was no expression on the surface.

For him, it's just a matter of getting the money.

Freya watched the grave keeper leave far away, burrowing into the mist, her hand clenched and loosened several times, the guy looked at her with a greedy and filthy gaze that thought she hadn't seen it, she almost couldn't help but have a seizure several times, but after all, she was not the little girl who had just walked out of Buche and was not in the world, and she endured it alive. Brando glanced at her and Antitina apologetically, and the sullenness in the hearts of the two ladies naturally vanished.

The three of them entered the house—Dean and little Finnis consciously stayed outside, in fact, Brando did not shy away from little Finis, but the latter knew that he needed to stay and watch the boy, which was what Brando had told him beforehand—Antitina first entered each room and looked at it one by one, as if to find traces of her parents' life in this old house, but she was doomed to be disappointed, the room was full of coffins, and there was a disgusting smell in the air, and the staff lady went downstairs to the upper floor, and then returned to the living room, his face was very ugly, and he almost wanted to be disgusted.

"Is this it?" Brando looked at her face and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Antitina nodded silently.

"Can you confirm where it is?"

"At the back of the house, there's a black pine tree, which I remember correctly, and there's a little pool, so it shouldn't be a cemetery, as my father told me once." Antitina recalled: "He and his mother met at the ball in Baden, and the first date was in ......this place," she looked at with some disgust: "Of course, it was still a residential area at that time, and the Buch River could be seen not far away. ”

"Then let's go to the courtyard quickly," Freya replied with a frown, "I really don't want to stay here any longer, it's disgusting that this guy has made the place where Antitina's parents used to live like this—a miasma!" ”

Brando couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, this is probably the so-called hater and transitivity, this house is actually not a big deal in his opinion - the tomb keeper's house, isn't it supposed to be like this, the stench is just the smell of stale and corpses, although the tomb keeper is not hopeful, but because of this matter condemned, it is a bit of a disaster. But he didn't dare say it in front of the two ladies, for he saw Antitina glaring at Freya gratefully.

It seems that since they cried in front of their mother, the relationship between the two has become better and better.

Just like the traditional structure of the house in the Pragus area, the kitchen leads to the back door, Antitina led them to the back yard, and sure enough, there was a tall black pine at the back of the house, but the pond in memory had dried up, but fortunately, the grave keeper did not have the idea of turning his backyard into a cemetery, and no one in the yard had been touched. However, Antitina was not sure where his father's inheritance was buried under the black pine tree, so Brando and Freya had to dig a circle under the tree, but the shovels in the grave keeper's house were too much for them to use.

For the first hour or two, they didn't get anything, and Antitina's father seemed to have buried the thing very deep—or they guessed wrong, it wasn't here at all—or it had been dug up, and the pit was getting deeper and deeper, and the imaginary thing was nowhere to be seen. But when Freya dug in a certain direction to a depth of about two or three meters, she suddenly felt the shovel hit something hard, and she immediately realized that she might have found something, and quickly stopped to peel open the soil layer of that place, and sure enough, she found that buried under the dirt was a rusty iron box.

The box wasn't too big, about the size of a suitcase, and Freya hurriedly called Brando and Antitina, and the three of them worked together to dig it out from beneath the soil. When they cleaned the box, the front of the box revealed an embossed emblem on the surface of the box, and the shield-shaped emblem was divided into four compartments, each with a crescent moon on each of the two staggered compartments, and Brando couldn't help but snort softly when he saw this emblem. The crescent moon is the symbol of Eruin, the emblem of the royal family of Sifah is a crescent emblem inlaid in the full moon on the shield, and the emblem of the Corkova family is derived from the emblem of the royal family of Sifah - the three diagonal crescents on the coat of arms, but where there is a crescent moon on the family coat of arms, it is more or less inextricably linked with the blood of the royal family.

Brando couldn't help but glance at Antitina, he didn't expect that her family also had at least some kind of side relationship with the royal family, but he lacked heraldic knowledge, otherwise he would probably recognize that this was the descendant of that royal prince.

"My father is a nobleman from West Fah, and my lord ......," Antitina had to explain in a whisper.

It is not surprising that Brando's aristocracy in West Fach has more or less connections to the royal family. But this doubt was only a flash in his mind, and he quickly put it aside and glanced at Antitina, at least for the moment, the most suitable person to open this box was undoubtedly this noble lady.
