After staring at the oil painting for a long time, the Marquis of Mel gradually came back to his senses, and as for the old butler Domus still standing beside him without speaking, after a while, perhaps thinking of something and perhaps making a certain decision, the Marquis Mel first got up from the chair, and then commanded the old butler in a solemn tone:

"Let's go, go to the 3rd floor."

………

Da Da Da ......

Walking through the stairs and corridors, Marquis Mel was in a heavy mood at the moment, he knew that this matter was very strange and he was also puzzled that the voice in the wax room on the third floor sounded very similar to his father, although the church priests said that all people have souls, but this is only a statement, after all, he is different from ordinary people, like his deceased father, Marquis Mel who inherited his father's title is also a war-trained soldier, and most soldiers believe in reality more.

Otherwise, in such an era when the nobles were afraid of death, how could His Majesty use his marquis just for a small rebellion?

This is completely unusable, of course, none of the above is the point, the point is that he was born in the military, and he doesn't really believe in the god of the scorpion.

Having said that, who would have thought...... He usually doesn't believe in the god of the dragon and rarely even goes to church, but now he has experienced a strange thing himself, a strange thing!

To this day, the Marquis de Merle remembers vividly what he had experienced in the wax room, and before he left, he heard a faint voice, the voice of which was suspected of his father, and the voice that seemed to be his father had said two words:

Run!

When he walked to the 3rd floor with the old butler, the Marquis of Mel's thoughts also stopped, staring at the door in front of him, staring at the big brass lock that was inexplicably opened, at this moment, the Marquis of Mel had a solemn face, and looked at Domus at each other, both of them could see the look of surprise in each other's eyes, obviously, even the old butler who had been staying in the manor did not know what was going on, after all, there were no people on the 3rd floor, and the other rooms on both sides of the corridor were all empty, and few people usually came, plus the Marquis had issued a ban not long ago, Therefore, during the week that the marquis left, the old butler did not go to the 3rd floor.

………

Squeak.

Perhaps the doubts in his heart were too strong, and unlike the panic when he heard the sound in the room, Count Mel, who was ready for it today, was much more bold than the last time, first stretched out his hand to push the door open, and then, with a long breath, the Marquis of Mel and the loyal old butler Domus entered the room together, into the room that had been silent for a long time, into the wax room that had been concerned him for a long time.

There is no doubt that the marquis is a higher title than the earl, although there are not a few marquis in the country, but as a high-level nobleman of the British Empire, the scale of his mansion will naturally only be larger than other nobles, not small, and it is true, this Halton Manor was given by the king himself after the old marquis was canonized, before it was a deserted manor, but its area is really not small, and the building with up to 3 floors in the center of the manor is one of the few tall buildings in this era, it is conceivable that every room in the building has a lot of space.

It is precisely because almost every room is not small that only one room can be used to contain my father's lifelong collection.

Straight into this wax room that has been dusty because no one has cleaned it for a long time, in front of it are wax figures of men and women who are no different from ordinary people regardless of body size and height, entering the room, Marquis Mel can't help but feel a lot of emotion, these things in front of him are all left by his father before his death, at least for the old marquis.

There are two rows of wax figures placed horizontally in the room, the wax figures are neatly placed, the number is not small, there are 10 in each row, the total number is just 20, of course, this refers to the side by side there are 20, in fact, there is a wax figure at the back of these wax figures that is not placed with other wax figures, and this wax figure is also the only wax figure in the whole room covered with a dustproof white cloth.

Why is this wax figure the only one covered with a white cloth to prevent dust from falling? That's because it's a wax figure of Marquis Mel's mother, Madame Lina, and it's also one of the old marquis's favorite wax figures during his lifetime.

Merely......

These scenes were just the impressions of the room of the Marquis of Mel and Domus in the past, and in fact, today, when the two of them entered the wax room again...... The scene changed, and even the Marquis Mel and the old butler were so frightened that they both sat on the ground!

Because......

I don't know when, at this moment, in addition to the original 21 wax figures, there are more than 40 wax figures in the room!!

For a time, the room, which was still slightly empty, was occupied by a large number of wax figures.

Fear!

If the inexplicable appearance of dozens of wax figures is enough to make the marquis and the old butler feel frightened, then how do you feel after seeing that these extra wax figures are all familiar faces of the two?

Yes, not only has the number of wax figures increased, but the dozens of inexplicably extra wax figures are all familiar to the Marquis of Mel and the old butler Domus:

As far as the eye can see, you can see that the wax figures in the front row are 20 guards, the guards are wearing military uniforms, although these people have different shapes and appearances, but their faces are exactly the same as the 20 guards in their own manor!

In the second row, there is also a group of familiar faces, wax figures of 10 men and women dressed in servant costumes, and their appearance is the same as that of the manor's maids and male servants.

As for the last row, there are still 4 more wax figures next to the wax figure of his mother, Madame Lina, 4 wax figures that make Marquis Mel shudder further, which are his wife, daughter, and the old butler Domus, the vision continues to shift, and when he glances at the last wax figure on the right, in addition to the sweat on his forehead, the corners of Marquis Mel's mouth began to twitch......

Is that......

Himself!!!

It is a wax figure wearing a noble dress, not only in clothes, but also in figure, and even in appearance!

There are 34 more wax figures in the room, and the extra 34 wax figures are all from Halton Manor, and all the wax figures of the master's family, housekeepers, guards, and male and female servants are gathered here.

Why?

What the hell is going on? Why are all these extra wax figures from the manor? Where did these wax figures come from? Or did someone make wax figures that looked like real people for everyone in the manor?

If so, what is the purpose of the guys who made these wax figures? What's the purpose? And how did that guy perfectly restore the appearance of all the people in the manor? You know, there were no camera photos in medieval Europe, and strictly speaking, if a wax figure was going to make a real wax figure, it had to be in front of a real person, but, in fact? In fact, there were dozens of wax figures in the room inexplicably, wax figures of everyone in the manor.

Is this something that the average wax carcassman can do? Even if it's a group of top wax artists...... I guess I don't have the ability to make so many wax figures with almost 100% restoration from memory without the presence of a real person as a template, right?

Moreover, the above speculation itself was untenable, and the manor guards and servants might not know, at least in the Marquis of Mel's own impression that he did not remember that he had someone make a wax figure for him, and likewise his wife and daughter, and his butler Domus, had not had such an experience.

In that case, what is the matter with the wax figures that suddenly appear in the room? .

"This, this...... It's ......"

Getting back to business, looking at the wax figures in the room, standing for a long time, slightly distracted, Marquis Mel raised his trembling right hand and pointed at the wax figures of himself and other acquaintances, at this moment, the man's face twitched, he wanted to say something, but under the dual impetus of chaos and fear, he couldn't finish a sentence in any case, and in the same way, the old butler Domus next to him was about the same as him at the moment, so his body trembled and stared at the wax figure in a daze.

Brush!

But there is a good saying, in the absence of danger, time will erase everything, the passage of time will make the most dull person react, finally, after about four or five minutes, Marquis Mel finally calmed down, did not care to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, his right hand brushed out the sword at his waist, obviously, although there are wax figures in front of him, it is a pile of lifeless dead things, but because these wax figures are too familiar and appear too weird, based on a soldier's intuition of danger, when he returned to his senses, the marquis still instinctively pulled out his long sword, Make a vigilant posture.

At the same time, when the Marquis of Mel drew his long sword on guard, the old butler Domus, who had come back to his senses, suddenly changed his face as if he had found something new, touched his master's body with his hand, and raised his hand to the right side of the room.

It was a corner of the wall, the least noticeable corner of the room.

"Your Excellency, Marquis, look, there is ......"

Domus wanted to speak and stopped, but from the suspicious tone of the other party's speech, Marquis Mel could still hear that the old butler was very puzzled at present, and when he saw the other party reminding him, he instinctively followed the direction pointed by the old butler, but this look was ...... In the next second, Marquis Mel actually showed a suspicious expression like the old butler.

At this moment, in this wax room full of acquaintances, there are actually a few more wax figures in the right corner of the room, but this time it is a little different, the newly discovered wax figures in the corner of the wall Marquis Mel are not familiar, and the appearance is also very unfamiliar, he has no impression of these figures made of wax, the reason is simple, it is because......

The wax figures in the corner are familiar, and even their appearance is completely different from their Europeans.

Because these people, no, should say these wax figures...... It's all the face of the East!
