Chapter 387: The Earl's Castle

Earl Kerfield's troubles are just an ordinary task, is there some connection between the information of that task and Nie Yan's task?

In his previous life, Nie Yan received the trouble of Earl Kerfield and wanted to make some money to spend, but suddenly some accident happened, he was hunted down by the people of the Triumphant Empire, and finally had to give up that task, and he never had the opportunity to do it later.

Nie Yan could only guess wildly, and he rode his horse across the plain.

The majestic Volkner horse galloped like the wind.

Passing by a few leveling points, Nie Yan found that faith was more lively than before, and more and more players entered faith and became a part of faith.

According to the experience of Nie Yan's previous life, faith will attract more and more players, and it will continue to be popular for more than ten years.

Half an hour's journey, Nie Yan only took ten minutes to arrive, an ancient castle in the distance came into view, it was completely made of bricks and stones, standing on the mountainside, like an invincible fortress, although it has been broken, but it can vaguely see the glory of the year, the top of the castle has some Hessesen cannon muzzles, that is the magic cannon made by the goblins, with powerful destructive power, but it has been rusted to the point that it can not be used.

Around the castle is a beautiful garden, growing patches of purple flowers, when the wind blows, the flower sponge spreads, and the fragrance of flowers comes from afar, but the sea of flowers is a little messy, and many of them have been destroyed.

This sea of flowers is surrounded by iron fences, with a gate in front and a narrow path in the middle that leads to the castle.

Nie Yan rode Volkner's horse to the outside of the iron fence and jumped down from it.

He looked around, there was no monster activity here, he looked calm, and walked towards the front.

System: You discovered the castle of the Count of Kerfield.

He got some new mission information.

Progress: Talk to Earl Kerfield. There is also some quest information below, Earl Kerfield's castle is full of dangers, since evil creatures infested the castle, the servants of the castle did not dare to stay there, they said goodbye to Earl Klefield and left here. Count Kerfield had to hire some militiamen, but lately, something strange had happened in the castle. One night, Earl Kerfield suddenly walked out of the castle in the middle of the night, and the next morning he was found asleep in the flowers of the garden, covered in dust and mud, and from that day on, Earl Klefield had been lost in his soul, muttering a name, Aina, Aina

Seeing this mission news, Nie Yan raised his eyebrows, Spirit Princess Aina!

It seems that this is a series of related quests!

Looking for Earl Kerfield to get clues for the next mission, Nie Yan walked towards the castle in the distance with firm steps.

The walls of the castle are somewhat eroded, giving people a feeling of ancient vicissitudes, and a cold wind blows through the sea of flowers, with a hint of cold breath, and the wind is mixed with a rancid smell.

This smell made Nie Yan frown, this was the breath of the dead.

Usually after receiving the task of Earl Kerfield, the skeletons will be refreshed in this garden.

Walking to the side of the ancient castle, it was a little cold here, in front of it was a forest iron gate, the paint on the iron door had been a little peeled, Nie Yan slowly pushed it in, inside was a hall, the light was dark, and the sun was shining outside, but it couldn't shine here.

At this moment, in the shadows next to him, two black shadows walked out.

Nie Yan's heart was shocked, he clenched his dagger, ready to fight at any time.

He saw clearly the appearance of the two people in front of him, these two people were wearing thick leather armor, holding a round wooden shield in his left hand, and a slightly worn battle axe in his right hand, Nie Yan found that these two people were NPCs, so he didn't make a move.

Lost a super insight to these two NPCs.

Militia Bracken: Forty-five.

Militia Bernard: Forty-six.

Brecon was a strong, bear-like man, but he was honest and not murderous. Bernard was a little shorter, a sincere young man.

"Greetings, honorable demon hunters, university scholars, and Mr. Grand Thieves." After seeing Nie Yan's title, Bernard was stunned and stammered.

"Hello." Brecon apparently didn't speak much, and it took a long time for two words to come out.

Nie Yan nodded and said, "Hello, I would like to ask you to do me a favor, can you take me to meet the Earl of Kerfield, I think I can help him." ”

"Yes, we'll take you there right away, please follow me." Bernard said respectfully.

The two militiamen walked inside with Nie Yan.

"The honorable Earl of Kerfield is a good man, he has been in this castle for more than sixty years, and after the arrival of those damned evil creatures, many people persuaded the Earl of Kinfield to leave, but he still did not want to go. His servants were gone, and only the two of us were left. Bernard looked at Nie Yan and pleaded, "Respected Demon Slayer, University Scholar, and Mr. Grand Thief, please help him." ”

"God bless every good and upright man." Nie Yan nodded, and he sorted out the information revealed by militia Bernard. There must have been some reason why the Count of Kerfield refused to leave the castle. He could ask the Earl of Kerfield for some clues.

Nie Yan, led by two militiamen, walked through a long corridor and entered an open hall, with a long table in the center of the hall, on which candlesticks were placed, and a red carpet was spread on the ground, giving people a very formal feeling.

Looking at the window in the distance, there are some old floor-to-ceiling windows, hanging bright red curtains, a ray of sunlight shining through the window, there is a chaise longue in front of the window, and an old man is lying on the chaise longue, shaking, looking out of the window. His eyes were lonely and desolate.

He's the Earl of Kerfield!

Nie Yan's gaze swept over the Earl of Kerfield and landed on the wall in the distance, where a slightly worn picture frame hung on the wall, and the person in it was Aina, the wandering soul princess who Nie Yan had used to steal.

The Earl of Kerfield turned his head to look at Nie Yan.

Nie Yan could see his appearance clearly, he looked very old, wearing a gray leather jacket, his hands were like cracked old bark, and he couldn't find any life.

Through the eyes of the Earl of Kerfield, Nie Yan seemed to see the sadness in his eyes.

"You're here." The Count of Kerfield smiled like a child, a relief of relief.

Seeing the smile of the Earl of Kerfield, Nie Yan was stunned for a moment, when the Count of Kerfield greeted, he did not use the normal title, there is definitely some mystery in this.

"Greetings, Dear Earl of Kerfield." Nie Yan greeted and walked towards the Earl of Kerfield.

Militia Brecon and militia Bernard respectfully retreated.

The Count of Kerfield looked into the distance, his eyes wandering, as if he had drifted into the distance.

Nie Yan looked at the photo frame on the wall, which should have been placed for decades according to time, and said, "Is she your wife, she looks beautiful." This is Nie Yan's guess, no matter what, he has to find some topics to lead the task out.

This photo frame is placed here, and it is a ready-made clue!

"yes." Earl Kerfield glanced at the picture frame on the wall, sighed, and said, "Young man, would you like to hear me tell a story?" ”

"I'm willing to be a listener." Nie Yan nodded, everything was as he expected, and he brought up the topic of the Earl of Kerfield.

"When I was young, I was rich, and all the fields around the castle belonged to me, and there were many villagers living here, and they worked for me. This castle is a building from the co-rule era, from the time my grandfather bought this castle and passed it down to my hands, there are many people who say that this castle was cursed by sorcerers, but I don't believe it. It wasn't until one year that a gang of robbers broke into the castle and killed my father and took a lot of his wealth, that I became suspicious. Aina is my wife, she was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage in Grando, and she was good friends with her friend Pehins, and together they were hired by me to be my maid. Her sweet smile, as pure as an angel, can make people forget all their troubles, when I saw her, I fell in love with her deeply, infatuated with her intoxicating smile, she is the most beautiful gift from God, I would like to die quietly in this smile. The Earl of Kerfield recounted eloquently, his eyes full of memories remaining.

Nie Yan listened quietly, without making a sound, as if he felt the deep love of the Earl of Kerfield.

"Aina became my wife, I want her to be the happiest woman in the world, the sweetness of love made me forget the pain and sorrow of losing my father, and three years later, we had our first child, a daughter named Niya, she is as beautiful as Aina. I thought it would go on like this, until Mount Morcos was flattened by the cold winds blowing from the plains of Siso, until the castle collapsed to smithereens and became eternal. However, everything has changed, and when love slowly settles, I feel that there is a demon growing in my heart. Pehins, the seductive woman, like a kraken singing a sleeping ballad, bewitched me deeply. I kept squandering my money, and I squandered my family's savings. Finally, one day, Aina discovered the scandal between me and Pehins, and her sad face when she cried tore at my heart so hard that it hurt me deeply. What the hell have I done, I scumbag! The Count of Kerfield closed his eyes in agony, and a cloudy tear fell from the corner of his eye.
