Chapter 26: The Baron's Manor
"That's my ......" Startled by the sudden opening of the door, the fawn's eyes dodged timidly to the side, "Excuse me?" ”
The beautiful face and white neck are connected into a graceful curve in the quiet moonlight. The cotton coat looked a little thin, and judging by the wet ends of her hair, she should have just finished washing and was ready to sleep.
"Nope." After turning off the insurance of Galaxy K1, Jiang Feng's right hand left his waist and asked casually, "It's so late, is there anything wrong?" ”
I don't know if it's his delusion, but I always feel that the spiritual energy response that resides in her seems to be greater than last time.
"Brother Weston asked me to tell you that the agent you are looking for is ready for you. See when you have time, we will arrange for him to come and meet you. If you're not satisfied, we have other options. ”
Finding a trusted agent to contact the people of Port Savit on his behalf, and at the same time to take care of those business troubles for him, this is what Jiang Feng asked Baron Fred after the banquet.
After all, the intelligence of the Samons is obviously not suitable for business, and Jiang Feng's own words are not interested in grinding his mouth with those aborigines for a silver coin or two. It's just that he didn't expect that this Baron Fred's efficiency would be so fast, and it was ready for him in less than two hours.
"Tomorrow morning." After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng said.
Tomorrow afternoon he plans to go around the market and see if there's anything worth trading. Stop by the tavern before returning in the evening to gather some useful information.
"The ......"
Noticing that Delia hadn't left yet, Jiang Feng asked.
"Anything else?"
"I ......" Biting her lower lip, Delia hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind, looked at Jiang Feng's eyes sincerely, and begged, "Can you teach me witchcraft?" ”
"As I said, you don't have that talent." Jiang Feng shook his head and said.
Hearing the wizard's refusal, Delia couldn't help but feel anxious.
"I, I'll work hard, I'll do whatever you tell me to do-"
"It's not something that can be solved with effort."
"But ......"
Delia wanted to say something, but at Shang Jiang Feng's indifferent eyes, she finally lowered her head and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
Just as Jiang Feng was about to say, "If it's okay, go back to bed early", there was a sudden commotion outside the window.
Frowning slightly, Jiang Feng walked to the window and looked outside.
I saw the servants of the manor circle in front of the small wooden house near the wall, whispering to each other, pointing to the inside of the house.
"What's going on out there?" It wasn't just Jiang Feng who was attracted by the commotion outside the window, Delia also walked to the window, looked outside in surprise, and whispered, "That's Uncle Nohan's house, he's the groom of the manor...... Why is everyone gathered there? ”
Perhaps because she was used to being casual in her own home, this aristocratic lady was unaware of entering a strange man's room without permission, and Jiang Feng's gaze continued to drift out of the window.
"You can't see it here."
"I'll go down and have a look."
"Let's go together."
Taking the robe from the hanger and draping it on his body, Jiang Feng turned around and went to the next door and knocked on the door. The door opened quickly, and when he saw Xiaobai, who was wearing steel armor and obviously not sleeping, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Master, I smell a bad smell." Whispering, Xiao Bai's throat let out a hissing roar, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and his eyes wandered around vigilantly, "It's near us." ”
"Smell?"
Jiang Feng frowned slightly.
It stands to reason that counting the bonus of the 2-point perception of the brain, his perception should be higher than that of Xiaobai.
Could this be the so-called beast's intuition?
"Come down with me."
"Yes." The little white urn said.
Going out with Xiao Bai in a hooded robe, Jiang Feng took his long wooden staff and came downstairs with Delia. Because of the delay upstairs for a while, when they reached the downstairs, the guards had already heard the news and rushed here.
In the middle of the guards, Jiang Feng saw the figure of Young Master West.
"Gather all the servants in the open space of the manor and search the area!"
Walking briskly over to Master West, Delia asked.
"Brother West, what the hell is going on here......"
"It's old Nohan." West, dressed in leather armor, stared at the shadow under the wooden door, and there was a hint of solemnity written in his eyes under his thick eyebrows, "He was found dead in bed, and the murderer gouged out his eyes, brutally cut off his right arm, and painted strange symbols on the wall with his blood. ”
Delia's breathing froze, her hands and feet were slightly cold from fear, and she involuntarily leaned towards Jiang Feng's side.
His gaze stayed in the shadow behind the door of the wooden house, and Jiang Feng frowned slightly.
From under that shadow, he also smelled a strange smell.
However, this is not a special smell, but an extremely unstable energy field......
Sorcery? Spell?
Just as he was thinking this, someone next to him whispered.
"The Baron is here."
"And the Baroness!"
Under the noble robes, the collar and cuffs of the pajamas could be seen, and it was clear that the baron had been woken up from his bed. As for the baroness beside him, she wore only a light long skirt on her curves, and her long brown curly hair was slightly disheveled at the vertical waist.
"What are you doing here!" Baron Fred's majestic voice rang out in the clearing, and he walked up to his eldest son, West, and asked, "West, what's going on here?" ”
Master West told his father what had happened here.
Jiang Feng noticed that the expression on the baron's face gradually became solemn.
For a noble baron, the death of a groom may be nothing. But the groom died on his manor, and was killed by such strange means, that if the murderer was not found, he probably wouldn't want to sleep peacefully for the rest of the month.
Unable to let go of the mysterious energy field in his heart, Jiang Feng then spoke.
"Can I see the corpse?"
Baron Fred glanced at Jiang Feng in surprise and immediately said.
"Absolutely."
Generally speaking, wizards have no interest in anything that has nothing to do with them, but this wizard seems to have some special quirks.
But either way, it's a good thing for Baron Fred.
If it was a wizard, nothing would have been able to hide from him......
