Chapter 42: Idle Things
During these days in the royal city, Yir stayed with General Tyrone and them in the barracks outside the city, and after a few days of negotiations with the envoys sent by the Shaki kingdom, the king would arrange a place for the army. www.biquge.info In fact, half of the soldiers should have been sent home a long time ago, but the king deliberately left them behind in order to show the strength of his kingdom in front of his envoys.
Ill was sitting on a mound in confusion, he could have left here for his fiefdom, but for some reason he felt uneasy, so he wrote a letter to Alan to inquire about the situation at Crowb's house, and the little Will was also sent by him to the city to find out the news.
"Hey, you've been looking weird these days, what's going on?"
The man who spoke was the bearded lieutenant, whose full beard had been trimmed by Il before he entered the palace to see His Majesty the King, and now he did not look like a mess. He went out for a walk but saw Il sitting alone here, so he came over curiously and asked.
Ill has been entangled in the affairs of the Crowb family, although the other party has severed relations with him, but Il is not so ruthless, if something happens to the Crowb family, he will not ignore it. But he was too embarrassed to go directly to their house, and Alan didn't reply to the letter, so he didn't know what to do.
"I always had one thing in mind, and although I knew it was just meddlesome, I was anxious not to figure it out. Do you think I should care about this?"
The bearded man has never been so entangled in his heart, he is a straight person, what to say, good and evil are also very separated. Il's look at the beard looks like he can see everything, but he is envious, and people like himself who think too much will live a very tangled life.
"I said Electrolux, follow your heart, since you have always remembered it, you will do it, otherwise it will be so uncomfortable to hold it in your heart, no matter what the fucking others think, the most important thing is to be comfortable, don't you say?"
The bearded man looked at Il still thinking, and groped with one hand in his arms for a long time, and finally took out a silver coin.
"I have another good idea, you see this is a silver coin, give it to you, and then you throw it in the air, when it falls on the ground, you look at the front and back, you go to the front and the back and don't go, it's very simple! The probability of going is the same as not going, it depends on whether God wants you to go or not!"
Ilr knew that when he threw the silver coin, the front and back of the silver coin had already been decided, but it was not the god who decided it, but the force he used when he tossed it, the angle it caused, the speed of the wind and the resistance of the air, but Il had no other better way at this time, he took the coin and tossed it in the air at will.
Bite!
The silver coin spun rapidly in mid-air and reflected the sun's rays, which were reflected in Il's eyes, deciding his next step. At this point, is his own desire to see a positive or a negative?
The silver coin landed steadily on the back of Yier's left hand and was held by him with his right hand, he took a deep breath, and then slowly lifted his right hand in a nervous mood, and a sun pattern came into view, which was the front!
The bearded man patted Il on the back and left, believing that Il should have found the answer he was looking for. Ilr looked at the front of the coin in a daze, and finally held the coin firmly in his hand.
In the evening, although Will returned, he did not bring any useful news, and whenever he consulted according to his description, everyone was enthusiastic at first, but when they heard the name of Viscount Crowb, they all fled as if they had lost their souls, as if Viscount Crowb were the devil, and even saying this name would be spit on by God.
Il, who plans to infiltrate Crowb's house tonight, plans to find out.
The darkness of the night was as deep as thick obsidian, and Il, dressed in black, quietly climbed over the fence in the darkness of the night.
It's strange, although it's past midnight and there won't be much light, but this house is pitch black and there is not even a trace of light, even late at night, there will be patrolling housekeepers carrying lamps to prevent thieves from entering, why is this happening here?
He still walked cautiously in the courtyard, there were many dead branches in the courtyard, he passed by the familiar small garden where he used to practice swords with his teacher when he was a child, the weeds had grown very tall, and the garden had not been taken care of for a long time, except for a few small orange wildflowers that were still blooming, and the rest of the flowers were only wilted stems rotting on the ground.
He stepped into the room, the carpet that had once been clean was dusty, and there was still oil in the oil lamp that had not been lit for a long time.
Walking through the dark corridors, squeaking and creaking on the wooden spiral staircase, the hallway that could not be reached out of sight seemed to beckon visitors to step in and explore its mysteries, and Il cast a lighting spell in front of him to dispel the fear of the darkness in front of him.
I don't know which window the wind blew open, there was a strange cry in the hallway, the wind outside was also cold howling, and the rustle of the wind could be heard from time to time. When he finally reached Crowber's bedroom, he found the huge house empty, the silk quilt scattered on the bed, and the house was in shambles.
Il's brow furrowed at the smell of dust and decay in the room, and he lit the oil lamp on the wall and rummaged on the floor for useful clues, but found no useful information except for the messy furnishings that fell to the ground, and he was very eager for a fingerprint machine to collect the fingerprints of strangers.
Back to his former bedroom, which was also dusty and had been deposed, and Il opened the closed closet, which contained many exquisite aristocratic garments, but none of them were the ones he had ever wore. He didn't find anything useful here either, except that the room was not cluttered, and the door was closed to Ek's bedroom, which was only opened by Il's magic.
It's like Ike and Varilla had a big fight, smashed everything in the bedroom, and then they abandoned the house and moved somewhere else. It's understandable, but why are the people in the city so shy away from mentioning the Crowburs? Something very bad must have happened here. But no one wants to talk about what happened here, so where should he start?
He suddenly realized that Alan must have been hiding something from him, and he didn't reply for so long, did he still want to keep it hidden?
But what he didn't know was that when the urgent letter was delivered to Allen's territory, Allen knew that Il had been exposed to the matter, so he immediately wrote down the incident as it was, but the postman who delivered the letter was a little slow.
Il also knew that there was no one in the whole house, and he checked one room after another, some of which had not been touched by anyone except for dust, and some of which were very messy, and which were basically inhabited or moved around, and the walls of a servant's room were covered with scratches and bloody handprints.
It wasn't until the dawn appeared that Ilr finally checked all the places that could be searched and found no valuable clues, so he had to leave here first and wait for Alan's letter, what happened here during the six years in prison?
Although the Eck Crowbers are sometimes a little mean, they are not always destroyed, right?
Looking at the attitudes of the people around him, Crowb is afraid that something bad will be stained in his house, so everyone chooses to keep silent, otherwise all kinds of strange gossip will definitely spread all over the streets and alleys in an instant.
When Il returned to the barracks, he saw the beautiful figure that he knew very well, and he immediately gave her a big hug.
"Lynn, you're finally here, this time with Alan's reply?"
Lynn apparently already knew what was going on at Crowb's house, and she took out Ellen's letter to Il but didn't hand it directly to Il.
"I'm aware that some things are hard to accept, but I hope you'll be prepared for all these years. ”
