Chapter Ninety-Nine: Strange Manor
"This is also some time ago, when my escort team was patrolling in the south of the city, I heard a report from a farmer, saying that there was a deserted manor on the hill south of the city, and every night there would be various movements from that manor."
He glanced at the serious employer who was listening to the story next to him, and asked, "Is it a thief?" ”
"It's not." The lord continued his story, "Some brave villagers went in and saw that it didn't look like there was any sign of human activity, so they suspected that evil spirits had invaded the manor. ”
"If it is invaded by evil spirits, will those who went to check on the situation be able to come back safely?" He asked rhetorically.
"That's what I thought at first, so I patted the guards to check it out, and found that the place was really weird." When the city lord said this, Da Miao happened to come over, "Ah, this must be your guard, please take a seat." After speaking, he turned to the servant and said, "Serve tea to your guests." ”
Da Miao went over and sat down, and soon the maid cut off the tea and put it on the coffee table, along with a few small plates of snacks. Da Miao didn't eat breakfast, and by this time she happened to be hungry.
"Lord Castle, what's going on after that?" Hong Jiu didn't know whether he was fascinated by the story, or whether he was fascinated by the city lord, so he looked at the other party and asked.
"Ah, later." The City Lord continued, "I sent six guards over, only three returned, and three others suddenly disappeared after entering one of the rooms of the manor. ”
"Didn't the other three go back to look for it?" He continued to ask rhetorically.
"I'm ashamed to say that." The lord of the castle said, "The guards are ordinary people, they have limited courage, and after noticing the strangeness in the house, they called inside a few times, and when there was no response, they ran away, and did not dare to go in until dawn the next morning." ”
"When they returned the next day, there was no sign of the other three people in the house, and there was a layer of dust on the ground, but there was not even a single footprint."
Jiang Gong glanced at the big seedling behind him, if it weren't for someone else here, he also wanted to ask the friendly elf if there was an evil ghost in the house.
Seeing that there was no reaction after listening to the sword, the city lord continued: "Today, I am anxious to have a capable person come over, and I also want people with courage to go to that manor to have a look, if I can find out the reason, I am very grateful, of course, if you can't find out the reason, but if you are willing to run, you will also be rewarded." ”
When Da Miao heard this, she felt very familiar, isn't this similar to her taking orders.
Thinking of the 1,000 yuan that the backstage hasn't received so far, although this is also money, it's still very uncomfortable not to complete the task.
"It's a pity that Lord Castle, the reason why we came here is because your guards said that the competent doctors are here." Jiang Gan still has some professional ethics, he himself has taken on the task, how can he take on someone else's task halfway? So he was going to refuse, "This is the person we accidentally bumped into on the road, this time we came here to show him the injury, in fact, we have to go somewhere else, we can't stay here longer." ”
Damiao nodded in the back, and the magician's words at least filled her ears.
However, Miao Cong didn't play his cards according to the routine, "City Lord, is the manor you said far from here?" ”
The smile that the city lord had just retracted was revealed, "Actually, it's not far, it's only half a day's journey on horseback." ”
"Then we'll go over and have a look." Miao stood up, as if he was going to go over and see what was going on.
Big sprouts, does this guy remember what he wanted to do? Why do you forget your goal when you encounter something?
But that's fine, take a little time here, and go back to the city tomorrow night, just enough to close with the nameless resting spot.
The magician looked at Da Miao again, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, "Is there something wrong with your master?" ’
"Oh, don't worry, you see there are so many people outside, all of them are going to the manor." The lord said, "When you have dinner, I will let my subordinate tie take you there." ”
"Also, the wounded man you just mentioned." The city lord looked at Hongjiu, "Please go to the guest room to rest for a while, and I'll let the doctor over." ”
Seeing Hongjiu's injuries is at least a serious matter, and Jiang Jian is ready to ask the city owner how much medical expenses.
As a result, the lord of the city said, "I don't want a cent."
This answer made the gang happy for two minutes, and then they were taken to the courtyard to eat by the servants of the lord's house.
During the meal, the city lord stood up and thanked them, and they realized that everyone who was eating in the courtyard had already promised the city lord to complete the task.
When they started eating, many people were already half-full, so in order not to let others wait, they ate quickly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your willingness to solve the troubles of the people of our city." The lord of the castle stood on the steps with a wine glass in his hand and said loudly, "I thank you again. ”
The city lord drank all the wine in his cup, "Let's go!" ”
Following the order of the city lord, all kinds of people in the courtyard set off towards the parking lot, they had to get into their own carriages or ride their own horses, and then follow the guards of the city lord's mansion to the manor.
Da Miao and they came late, and the tricycle was parked outside.
While others were still talking, "Oops, what kind of car is this?" "This car is so weird." At that time, Da Miao and his party had already gotten into the car and walked out the back door.
Jiang Jian looked at the employer next to him and asked in a low voice, "I said young master, what do you think?" Is there no money? ”
Miao Cong is serious: "Eliminate harm for the people." ”
"No, young master, do you know magic, or do you have a high force value, aren't you ...... in the past" Jiang Yan persuaded half of the unhappiness and said, this is all promised to the city lord, what else to say.
He pulled the car door and stuck his head out to complain to the friendly elves, but found that the carriage was still behind, and the friendly elves had already driven out for a long time.
At first, he was happy, "Hey Elf, we're running away, aren't we?" ”
"Huh? Not really. Damiao glanced back at her, "Aren't you going to complete the mission?" The guard's horse was walking too slowly, so I asked for directions, and let's go first. ”
In an instant, the rod lost the idea of confiding in the elf and shrank back.
The rod is self-contained.
It takes half a day for people to ride to the manor, and Da Miao's tricycle is driving at full power, and it takes less than an hour to get there.
It can be regarded as using the wind element to the extreme, and while accelerating, the defense array is also opened, and there is no way to be too fast without opening the defense, and the carriage will be blown away.
"Is this the manor?" Da Miao drove the car directly to a clearing outside the manor.
The rod climbed out of the car, glanced at the big seedling, and then vomited in a flash, and the old magician experienced the feeling of motion sickness for the first time.
