As soon as she finished speaking, we were all stunned at the same time.

I exchanged a look with Zhang Qiang, who had a strange expression next to me, before I cautiously spoke: "Are you sure?" ”

Seeing all six of us, the old lady was not angry, she raised her hand and pointed to Mary in the portrait.

"A few years ago, I relied on my family connections to come to Countess Mary's castle to work." The old lady paused and continued: "You know, our family is also a noble family, although it is a declining inferior noble. ”

"Since you are a nobleman, why do you want to come here to be a person?" I asked, a little confused.

"You know what?" The old lady glanced at me: "Mary's family is the most prestigious family in the whole of Europe's upper nobility. There have been no less than dozens of princes, queens, cardinals, earls, etc., not to mention viscounts and barons. To be able to do things in such a place is the glory of the lower nobles. ”

"I see." Zhang Qiang nodded in surprise.

"But, according to you, you should be even more beautiful than Mary, why are you ...... now?" Situ Cao was a little strange.

The fox-faced old lady glanced at her, "My father paid a lot of money for me to get the maid's job, which is the work done by the woman you saw just now. ”

As soon as I heard it, I immediately smelled of conspiracy.

"I thought that staying by Mary's side would please her. I did everything I could to take care of her diet. But I didn't know that as early as the first time I entered this castle and was seen by her, I was hated by her. The old lady looked at me with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "She is jealous that I have a natural and beautiful face that she can never surpass." ”

"And then?" Zhao Qiqi raised his eyebrows and looked at her and asked.

"And then?" The old lady snorted coldly, and she took a deep breath: "Late one night, I was taken to a secret cell by someone she sent to instruct the current chief lady-in-waiting, who was actually her wizard, to destroy my face with a special spell and make me look like an old woman in her seventies. ”

I frowned slightly: "But according to what you said, wouldn't it be better for her to kill you directly?" Why keep you and keep you in the castle all the time? ”

"Maybe it has something to do with her pathetic and twisted upbringing!" The old lady shook her head: "She said, don't kill me, allow me to move freely in the castle, in order to see how miserable the woman who was once ten times more beautiful than her is now." Every time she sees me now, she is ecstatic. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Qiang immediately showed a disgusted expression: "This character ...... It's too twisted, isn't it? ”

Thinking of the legends of Bloody Mary, and listening to the old lady's words, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

"The reason why I have been struggling until now is to wait for the right time." Speaking of excitement, the old lady began to cough, she paused, and continued to speak: "I want to take revenge on her!" I'm going to kill her! No, I'm going to take her with me to the endless abyss of despair! ”

At this time, the old lady's face had become almost distorted.

Even when I was far away, I could feel the heavy resentment in her.

Subconsciously shuddered, and I hesitated to speak: "So, how are you going to help us?" ”

"Countess Mary is famous in the counties, but do you know why she never leaves her castle?" Sen smiled coldly, and the old lady looked at me with fox eyes.

Mary never left the castle?

Hearing this, the six of them were all shocked.

I glanced at Zhao Qiqi and found that she was thinking about something.

Zhao Qiqi suddenly raised his head and looked at the fox-faced old lady: "If you guessed correctly, is there something that restricts her range of activities?" ”

"That's right." The old lady looked at Zhao Qiqi with obvious surprise, and she nodded: "This is also the biggest secret in the castle. ”

"What's the secret?" Wang Yi asked.

"Mary sold her soul to a demon for the sake of beauty. However, everything comes at a price. The old lady glanced over to the rest of us and then turned her gaze to the painting: "The demon wanted to take her to hell and was discovered by her husband, Baron Nadasdi. Nadasdi was deeply in love with Mary, even though she was such a woman with a twisted personality. He brought the most famous wizard to the castle and set up six seals to seal the entrance to hell, which was also the way to imprison her, because he didn't want to lose Mary. Because of this, Mary's beauty is periodically unstable, and something needs to be maintained. ”

"You mean, blood?" I clasped my elbows in my hands, but I always felt that there was something hidden from her words: "But why would he rather be away from home than return to his wife, if he loves Mary so much?" ”

"The stupid man feared that he would stay with Mary and one day relent." The old lady smiled sarcastically.

In order for Mary to stay in the world, is it okay even if we don't see each other very often?

What a strange logic.

I felt a little emotion in my heart, and I began to sympathize with this baron named Nadasdi.

"I see." Zhao Qiqi's eyes rolled and snapped his fingers: "You mean to provide us with information, let us unlock the six seals, as long as you can successfully send her to hell, your new and old grudges can also be avenged?" ”

"That's right." The old lady sneered and took out an old roll of parchment from her bosom.

I reached out and took it, opened it and looked at it, and the map marked six places in the castle, which looked like six sealing points.

"It's getting late, it's time for me to leave." The old lady didn't wait for us to speak, got up and patted Du Deming, who was standing next to her, on the shoulder, and then walked straight outside.

I handed the parchment to Zhao Qiqi and the others, walked to the door and looked at it.

Outside, it was already empty.

"Going too fast, right?" I said to myself with some surprise.

Du Deming suddenly glanced at me with a strange expression, and turned to Zhao Qiqi: "Then what should we do now?" Do you want to break the six seals? ”

"Why are you in such a hurry? No, how do I feel, this old woman's words can't be trusted? Zhang Qiang touched his chin with a playful expression.

Zhao Qiqi turned his gaze to me: "Gao Wei, what do you think?" ”

I thought for a while, then looked at her and shook my head: "I can't say it, I always feel that there may be something hidden in her words." ”

What's more, with the improvement of my mental strength now, I couldn't feel any aging and corrupt breath on the old lady just now.

What the hell is she hiding?

With a shallow smile, Zhao Qiqi showed a hint of appreciation: "I think so too." ”

She put away the parchment and handed it to Wang Yi: "I think that at the moment, according to my original idea, let's go to the cellar behind the castle tonight." ”

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

Then, under Zhao Qiqi's arrangement, everyone returned to their original positions or positions.

The six of them agreed to meet at the entrance to the cellar at the back door of the castle at twelve o'clock in the morning at the time indicated on the survival bracelet.
