They died here...... But in a very peaceful posture, with his hands on his chest, he died lying flat on this large bed.

But contrary to their serene movements, their expressions were extremely distorted, as if they had seen something very terrible and terrifying.

The Sword Warrior's mouth was wide open, and his jaw was pulled down by some force, making his mouth look extremely large compared to the whole face. His tongue was bitten into pieces, broken in his mouth section by section, and his teeth were covered with blood that had already coagulated, apparently he had bitten his tongue piece by piece.

The spear warrior on the side didn't have much of a good time, both of his eyes were out of their sockets, and the shriveled eyeballs hung on his face, connected only by the little tendons in the back.

Brad, Parfay, and Cream also came over, and when they saw the death of the two fighters, they all leaned back slightly. At this point, Arrow was a little surprised by Coco's calmness. Perhaps this is also due to the merit of the necromancer.

"When did they die?"

Arrow asked.

Cream frowned, forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart, stepped forward, examined the two corpses slightly, and shook his head: "I don't know, it stands to reason that there should be fly bites after being dead for so long, but these two corpses look very clean." It's been eight or nine days since they've entered the castle, right? I don't think they'll be able to survive eight or nine days in this castle full of rotting spiders. ”

Arrow frowned, and stepped forward to fumble with the gun warrior's clothes. Soon, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and opened it, revealing four gold coins in it.

Arrow examined the gold coin, put it in his pocket, and examined the body again. Wait until he's sure there's nothing else before checking the sword warrior.

The sword warrior didn't have much on him, just a notebook, a knife, and a few pieces of dry food.

However, the therapeutic aerosol did not come to the fore.

In other words, they were injured, so therapeutic aerosols were used?

However, after examination, there were no wounds on the two corpses, and the armor on their bodies was very clean and neat, with no signs of tearing.

In other words, how these two warriors died, and what they experienced before they died, is completely a mystery.

"Whew...... Everyone scattered around to see if there were any other clues in the room. ”

The crowd pouted, dispersed, and began to look for answers. After one last glance at the two bodies, Arrow walked over to the room's fireplace.

The fireplace appears thick, and the campfire inside has been piled up for an unknown number of years.

But above the fireplace is a huge oil painting, which is supposed to depict a family of three.

A man in his thirties, who looked energetic, had a mustache and a medal on his shoulder that looked very eye-catching. The lavish decoration also highlights his aristocratic status.

The man has a fairly handsome face, but ...... There was one thing that made Arrow look very uncomfortable.

The man's mouth was cracked open with a smile.

Not a smile of joy, but a smile with a hint of madness?

The dissonance between the gaping mouth and the completely turned out teeth inside was stark and inversely contrasting with the man's very capable eyes.

The other two people in the portrait are two women, one large and one small, a woman in her thirties, sitting upright on a chair with an umbrella in her hand, a gorgeous long skirt and delicate fine sand gloves representing her noble status.

The daughter is about ten years old, which is the most innocent age, and she and her mother stand in front of their parents in long dresses of the same color, looking forward to a bright future for themselves.

But...... Iero couldn't see the faces of the two women.

More precisely, the faces of both women were all melted and distorted like burnt candles. If I had to say anything, I could only vaguely see that there were two black holes on that face, and one mouth was pulled into a long strip, as if it was screaming.

Such a portrait made Arrow more and more uncomfortable the more he looked at it, he shook his head, and simply stopped observing, just lowered his head and looked at the label under the portrait-

Baron Sabu Quetsu with his wife, Madame Anve, and her daughter, Miss Nari. 》

Just as Arrow shook his head and was about to turn away, the tag was unexpectedly aroused by Arrow's attention under the reflection of the sunlight.

He reached out and snapped the tag with a slight force, and soon he noticed what attracted him to the thing.

What do you want to say to me? What do you need me to do? No, I won't! 》

"What's that?"

These inexplicable words are engraved on the label, and under the bronzing words, it seems to be pulled out little by little with a claw.

Arrow shook his head and put the tag back down. At this moment, Brad in the back opened the drawer and took out a diary from it.

"President, how about you take a look at this?"

Taking the journal, Arrow flipped through it and glanced at it. Nodding his head, he said, "I see, it seems that this Baron Sabu Kesu is the last overseer of the Granite Castle." ”

The crowd gathered around to hear Arrow's story.

Arrow quickly glanced at the diary a few times and continued, "This diary should be Miss Nari's, used to record daily routines. Judging from the notes, there are two kinds of handwriting, and it is supposed that the mother Lady Anfu will also write something on it. ”

"This diary records that the family was sent to Pelican Town to replace the last overseer who died mysteriously, on the one hand, to oversee the mine, and on the other hand, to investigate the truth about the death of the previous overseer."

"But there was no big progress in the investigation, but the iron ore production was getting less and less, so the supervision of the mine gradually became nominal."

"Well, here it is recorded that the Baron of Sab is becoming more and more manic, and he is under pressure from the production of the mines, and he is unable to account to the Empire. On the other hand, they also received news that the Empire intends to revoke the development of this mine, which is equivalent to the revocation of the position of Baron Sab. And Baron Sabu was originally because of his hard work and loyalty to the empire, so he received a knighthood from an ordinary general and obtained the status of nobility, so that he could come here as an overseer. ”

But if this position is revoked, it will also be equivalent to revoking his noble title, depriving him of the glory and status that he has won so hard. So, during this time, Baron Sabu seemed to go crazy and hoped to be able to extract iron ore from the mine again. It's a pity that it backfired. ”

"Well, here's a diary of the last day."

"On April 23rd, fine, we packed our things and got ready to get into the carriage and leave the place. Dad told me that we would go to a better place in the future and that our lives would get better and better, so, I believed in Dad. ”

The last page of the diary contains such a simple sentence, which is slightly different from the previous expressions that describe in detail what the mother and daughter are thinking.

Arrow flipped the diary back to the front, and he had only seen it cursorely, not looked closely. Since this diary contains a record of the mine, let's take it home and read it carefully.

"Anything else? ”

Putting away the diary, Arrow asked again.

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Arrow could only sigh and say, "Okay...... At least our job is to clean up this ancient castle. Now that the mission is complete, there's no point in staying. Well...... As for these two......

Arrow frowned, looked at the two corpses on the bed over there, and after thinking about it, he could only shake his head: "We can't leave the two corpses in the client's castle. And no matter what, these two people can be regarded as registered in my guild, and if they can give them the last dignity, they will try to give them as much dignity as possible. Now, Brad, Cream, each of you will carry one, take it out, and find a place to bury it. ”

Brad let out a sigh and stepped forward to carry the corpse of the sword warrior. Cream, on the other hand, frowned, endured the disgust in his heart, walked over, and picked up the corpse of the spear warrior. But as soon as he carried it, the two eyeballs suddenly drooped down and kept shaking on his shoulders.

"No, no, no, no! I...... I can't bear it, I'm sorry, but I can't do this! ”

Since the cream was useless, Airo could only turn his gaze to Coco next to him.

The necromancer was still in a better state of mind when facing the dead man after all, and although he also felt a little disgusting, he still let his undead soldier step forward and carry the corpse.

"Xiaobai, I'll find a way to give you a bath when I go back, so now, bear with me first, okay?"

Coco whispered a few words, and the skeleton dog on the side was still very excited to bark around his master.

Arrow shrugged and turned to the exit, followed by the others.

But, when Arrow came to this stone door again......

"It's so cool! 》

"Yes, it's a little too cold, I want to be hot, I don't even feel cold." 》

These words, which are like dialogues, are engraved on the back of this stone door.

And, like the words that Arrow had just seen, the words seemed crooked, and there was nothing beautiful about the handwriting. But more importantly......

The words that occupy the entire back of the stone door are also like being cut out with fingernails, little by little, little by little.

The crowd stood in a daze.

Although the sunlight was pouring in through the broken windows, Arrow could still feel the chill running up from the soles of his feet.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to compose, and turned around, trying to keep his companions from paying attention to the words.

The two corpses smiled at her.

It's like the overseer's eerie smile in the painting!

Involuntarily, Arrow fell backwards and slammed his back against the stone door, knocking it open. His frightened appearance naturally made the others look a little nervous, but Coco asked for the first time: "Brother President!" What's wrong? What's going on? ”

Arrow shook his head and looked at it again, there was nothing strange about the two bodies still being carried by Brad and the undead soldiers.

Don't...... Are you really too nervous?

He covered his head and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Looking at the body again, nothing was out of the ordinary.

This also made Arrow start to think that he might be really nervous and hallucinating. It's not wrong to think about it carefully, an ordinary girl like herself who has no combat power and no magical affinity is participating in the battles of these adventurers all day long, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with the pressure to have a little hallucination, right? It seems that it is time to give yourself a good rest.

"It's okay, let's go."

Standing up, Arrow led the group out of the castle. This also means that this mission has finally been completed safely.
