Chapter 176: The Country House

Outside, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and a faint roar of rage suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the woods. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Liu Minghao stood on a rock, looking down at the black-clothed man who was spinning like a trapped beast in the dense forest below, and he didn't hear the unbearable curse.

There was a sound of footsteps trampling on the dead grass, a slender figure appeared in the shadows of the trees, and the night snow walked quickly.

After determining that Ye Song and the three of them were in the plan and rushed to Queenstown by carriage, Yexue hurried to meet Liu Minghao.

Looking at Xie Kun who was spinning in the woods below, Yexue raised her eyebrows slightly, although she was not very proficient in the formation, but Xie Kun in the woods was obviously trapped in it, when the two of them discussed at first, she just asked Liu Minghao to find a way to drag Xie Kun, but she didn't expect Liu Minghao to be able to use the woods and set up a formation to trap Xie Kun inside.

"The map is here." Liu Minghao heard the footsteps, handed the wooden box in his hand to Ye Xue, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "There is not much time left, we had better hurry up and act." ”

Ye Xue took the wooden box and opened it with the boat key, looked at the map inside, confirmed that it was correct, nodded slightly, and turned her head to look at Xie Kun below.

"Time was too tight, and I didn't have the tools to take advantage of, so I only had time to arrange it briefly." Liu Minghao seemed to guess Ye Xue's thoughts, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't trap him for too long, and it can drag on for another half an hour at most." ”

This is still the way he has been constantly trying to provoke Xie Kun with words, distract him, and make the other party fall into the trap, and when he calms down, it is not too difficult to crack the formation in the woods.

Although Ye Xue wanted to kill Xie Kun to prevent future troubles, they also knew that it would take a lot of time to solve him, and their only purpose at this time was to exchange the map in their hands for the Forest Blade, so naturally they should not waste unnecessary time.

"Let's go." Yexue closed the wooden box and put away the key, "Sir Wells is not an easy person, and it is not so easy to get the Forest Blade. ”

Liu Minghao had already heard Ye Xue describe the difficulties of Wells who was about to deal with him, and even if he had a treasure map, it would take a lot of brains to get what he wanted from him first.

Liu Minghao followed the night snow towards a country house located in the west of the woods, hidden in the shadow of dense trees.

Sir Wells is just a code name, no one knows his real name, and Yexue only knows that he is a similar game, the existence of the mission publisher, as long as he has what he needs, he can exchange the corresponding props from his hands, there are many people who have dealt with him, and if you want to be satisfied, you not only need to have the treasures that he can see, but also be able to pass his test, otherwise you will only be played by him, and end up with a bamboo basket.

Liu Minghao and Yexue Villa approached, did not see a servant, the carved wrought iron door was open, the two walked along the thick shaded stone road, walked to the front of the building, pulled the door knocker, waited for a long time, someone opened the door, a gloomy, like a puppet-like young manservant, standing quietly in the shadow behind the door, silently looking at the two.

The calm and waveless countenance, combined with the lifeless eyes and the dimly lit room behind him, gave the illusion that he was about to step into a haunted house in the forest.

Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the sunny outside, a vibrant garden, and then looking at the villa shrouded in a strange atmosphere in front of him, a trance feeling of walking on the wrong set inexplicably rose.

The night was uneventful, and he ignored the strange scene in front of him, but took out an emerald bird, which was only an inch in size, and handed it to the gloomy manservant, "I want to see Sir Wesel." ”

The gloomy manservant silently took the emerald bird, took a step back, and pulled the door open.

Ye Xue walked in, Liu Minghao just suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed behind.

Heavy door panels closed behind him, blocking out the sunlight pouring in from outside.

This Scottish country house looks very Scottish on the outside, but inside it is like a vampire's labyrinth, dark and cold, with a thick carpet on the floor, and there is no sound to walk on, and the walls are hung with dark-toned portraits, every window is tightly blocked by black velvet, and only the dim candle flame emits a dim glow.

In the silence of the space, there were occasional unknown strange noises, and the two silently followed the gloomy manservant through the dark hall, up the stairs, and around the corridors, and walked for nearly ten minutes before they came to a room with a closed door.

The gloomy manservant stopped, ignoring the two behind him, and placed the emerald bird in his hand in the groove on the doorknob, and with a slight bang, the black door with the exquisite carving slowly opened a crack.

The gloomy manservant pushed open the door, took a step back, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Liu Minghao had been looking at his surroundings all the way, and he could be sure that he hadn't seen anything

The manservant disappeared out of thin air, and he couldn't help but feel more and more that there was something hidden in this villa.

Ye Xue raised her hand and patted Liu Minghao's arm gently, and the two entered the room together.

It was clearly a reception room, with a soft sofa in the center of the room, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on all four walls, filled with books and all sorts of strange objects, and the light was still dim, except for the sconces inlaid above the corners on both sides, which emitted a faint yellow glow.

The two stood in the center of the room, Liu Minghao's eyes fell on the desk on the right, and saw a small green bow placed on it, and at the top of the bow and arrow, there was a sculpture of an elf, emitting faint energy fluctuations.

At this moment, there was a very subtle sound behind them, and the two turned back suddenly, and in the originally empty room, a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a tuxedo, dressed as if he was going to attend a banquet, the man's face was pale, his eyes were bright, except that he was not handsome enough, but he was still in line with the image of a vampire.

A cold glow flashed in Liu Minghao's eyes, just like the manservant disappeared just now, and he didn't notice the slightest sound before the middle-aged man appeared

After entering this villa, he has been silently calculating the distance, although each corridor looks the same and cannot be distinguished at all, but he can be sure that he has walked 865 steps, nearly a thousand meters. Even the most ingenious mechanism cannot do this, so there seems to be only one explanation.
