Seeing Lilith Kant's figure disappear along with Viscount Kant, Gawain was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Lilith Kant to be a nightmare product too.

In his original assumption, Lilith Kant was supposed to be a living man, the only "dreamer" in the entire castle who remained awake, but it was clear that he had misjudged this.

He and Amber went to the huge stone pavilion together, and saw the two skeletons inside and the still decomposed body of the viscountess, who had been protected by magic, and it dawned on him that Lilith Kant was really dead, perhaps to start this terrible dream-making ritual, or maybe to better "reach" her husband and son, she really gave up her life.

Wandering in the cellars of the North Tower, wandering around the castle with lanterns, is nothing more than her shadow - no wonder this viscountess, as a "dreamer", has not left the castle for thirty years, not because Gawain imagined that she is unwilling to leave, but because she is no longer able to leave here.

But none of these things mattered anymore, the dream was over, the sun of the real world was shining on this dark and ancient fortress, and both the dreamers and dreamers had returned to where they were supposed to be with the end of the dream.

All they left behind was a mess of the real world.

Amber was still a little stunned, this incredible adventure had left her mind a mess (of course, her mind might be a mess a lot), looking at the stone hall in front of her and the three corpses in the coffin, she burst out for a long time: "So we've actually been entangled with three dead people for so long?" ”

"It's this whole land that has been entangled with them for thirty years," Gawain shook his head, "the Eternal Sleeper...... Sure enough, it is the most dangerous of the three dark sects. ”

"A person who crawled out of the coffin looked at the three people lying in the coffin and sighed that the cult is harmful, I have never seen anything more supernatural than this in my life......" Amber didn't know what to think about, and suddenly said to scare herself, and then she looked down at her feet, and suddenly realized, "Hey, Gawain, there are a few pieces of paper here!" ”

Several pieces of enchanted parchment that were emitting a glimmer of light were scattered in front of the stone pavilion, which was exactly where Viscount Victor Kant had disappeared before, and Gawain picked them up in surprise and saw the handwriting of Viscount Kant on them: "This is...... Viscount Kant left behind? ”

"What he left behind? Is it a letter left for you? Amber blinked in a daze, "Look what!" ”

"It is indeed a letter, but not all of it was left for me, and there are also letters to the king and to the public." Gawain quickly flipped through the parchments, and the neat handwriting on them came into his sight:

"I am Viscount Victor Kant, a nobleman canonized by the royal family of Ansu, and lord of the farms, estates, and villages in the southern part of Kant Town and its surroundings, and I swear by the name of the ancestors of the Kant family that everything I say is true, and these facts should be made public to warn the world.

"My family is cursed by the Sleepers.

“…… Cultists have corrupted my realm with evil ritual magic, and over the past thirty years, countless innocent people have been killed in this ritual magic, my wife has been controlled by evil magic, and my soul has become an accomplice......

“…… I would never have been at peace without the help of Duke Gawain Cecil, who answered my plea for help, and it was his sacrifice of his life that lifted the curse that hung over me and my family......"

"Sincerely, Your Majesty, your loyal vassal, greetings from you, this will be my last secret letter to you, taking place in the events of Kantland......

"As it has been said above, I assure you with my last humanity and my surname that everything is true.

"I have no heirs or immediate family to inherit the title or property, and my wife is the same, and I have only one nephew who is very distant in blood, but he is not of good mind to inherit the glory of nobility, so I am willing to return to the royal family the fief inherited from my ancestors in accordance with the laws of the kingdom, but before I can repay the favor of the Duke of Cecil, which is a mercy for the salvation of souls.

"I am willing to bequeath to the Duke of Cecil all my wealth except land, including the books, treasures, and antiques in the castle, as well as the six pioneering farms in the southern part of Kant's realm that are not fiefdoms, and acknowledge his right to dispose of them at will.

"All the wealth produced this year in my realm is to be given to the Duke of Cecil, in addition to the portion which is due to be delivered to the royal family."

In addition to an open letter to the nobles of the South, and a secret letter to the king, another letter was addressed to Gawain:

"Duke Gawain Cecil, by the time you read this letter, my soul should have regained its peace.

"I have nothing but joy and peace in this ending, and if there is anything regrettable, it is that I have failed to fulfill my promise—I have vowed to reverse the extravagance and depravity of my family, not to be complicit in the cruel and cold-blooded new generation of nobles, and I have vowed to follow the example of the pioneers of your generation, to open up territories, to shelter the outcasts, to be the protector of the innocent and the poor, but the end result is a mess.

"I am glad that you appeared in time to dispel the gloom of this land before my soul was completely plunged into darkness and everything was irretrievable.

"When I was young, I always looked up to you as a role model and an idol, and I even longed to be a knight, to rush into the darkness like you, and to carve out a new place for my people—hence the six farms in the southern part of Kant's Dominion, which were perhaps the only shining light in my pathetic life.

"If I could meet you at a different time and in another way, it might be the most glorious moment of my life, and I would even be willing to give up my title and all my possessions to become your knight's apprentice in this old body, and go with you to the frontier at the foot of the Dark Mountains to fulfill the dreams that I could not fulfill when I was young...... But none of this is possible.

"I can't think of anything else to reward you with other than the contents of the castle and the six pioneering farms that belong to me, but I think some information about the Cultists of the Eternal Sleeper would be of interest to you.

"Over the years, I have survived as a puppet of dreams, and even my mind has always been guided and controlled, but perhaps it was too much contact with the power of the Eternal Sleeper, and in the moment after I finally gained free will, I gained insight into some of the truths behind this 'curse'.

"Be vigilant, the conspiracy of the Sleeper is not as simple as a mere Kantian leader. The horrific and sensational sacrifice they set up in this castle is really just one 'node' in a series of plans they call the computational node, and they have a huge plan that requires more souls, more victims......

"Their plot may spread throughout the world, and if this plan succeeds, they will drag all the intelligent beings in the world into the abyss from which they will never recover.

"But their actions are not traceless, according to the fact that I have perceived that each of their 'computing nodes' requires a large number of living people as 'consumables', and in the south they may be able to slowly scrape together the needs of the ritual by secretly capturing the homeless, but in other places where there are fewer homeless and more orderly, they can be found by carefully observing the disappearance and movement of people.

"I have reported these matters to His Majesty, and I hope that you will be vigilant against the resurgence of the cultists at your side—you are the only hope for the people in the south of the declining kingdom.

"—Victor Kant, a guilty man who once really wanted to be a good man."

Gawain's gaze shifted between the words, and he flipped through the parchment until the last one appeared before his eyes.

Amber's eyes were sharp, and at a glance she could see that it was not a letter: "Hey! This doesn't look like a letter addressed to anyone! ”

"That's right, this is a lord's order, and it was signed and announced in the territory," Gawain couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw what was written on it, "He forgave all the people in the realm of their debts to the Kant family, and liberated all the serfs under the lord and the slaves in the castle to be free, and declared that they had the right to leave the territory freely." ”

Amber blinked, and suddenly remembered what Gawain had said: "Hey, I remember you said that this liberation should be gradual or something......"

"That's right, it should be gradual, and the direct emancipation of serfs into freemen can only deprive them of the basic security provided by the landlords, and without a perfect and subsequent system of land distribution and security, these slaves who have become freedmen will not last long with only a little severance pay, and they will soon lose their freedom again, and eventually sell themselves back to the old way of slavery or even slavery," Gawain shook his head, "but Viscount Victor Kant is not a whimsical idealist, he must have thought of this, It's just that he has no other choice - the Kant family is gone, and with the current administrative efficiency of the Ansu royal family, the new lord may not come in a year or two, according to the law of Ansu, all the property in this castle belongs to the nobles themselves, and any slave has no private property, so during this time, the people left by the old lord are the most miserable, they either run out and find a way to make a living by themselves, but it is a crime for the slaves to make a living on their own, or they steal the property in the castle to sell it - but this is also a crime.

"That's why Viscount Kant wants to liberate these people into free people, and let them leave freely—at least leave them a way to live."

Amber was stunned, and suddenly felt a little big in the skull: "It feels...... What a mess! ”

"It's a mess, but somebody has to clean it up," Gawain pouted, "and I feel like it's already on me." ”

Amber winked in particular: "So it's better for us to do this, usually we lift our legs and leave after the work is done, and we don't have to think about the aftermath at all - it's just that when we walk slowly, someone will take care of the aftermath......"

Gawain glanced at the goods and went up to clasp her arm: "Yes, you went slow last time you dug the grave, so now come with me to clean up the aftermath." ”
