Chapter 26: Oil Painting

"Your cousin, Little William's family should have died a few years ago, and the subsequent Viscount Limbatten has actually always been pretended by his younger brother. Sieg squatted down, touched the head of the child in front of him, and said in a kind tone, "And you are forced to play the role of William all the time, right?"

William in front of him...... No, it was Barbara, who suddenly burst into tears, as if she had thought of something sad.

"Sure enough......" Sieg was just guessing, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart, but when he saw her behaving like this, he suddenly understood a little.

A child who is a few years old, his physical characteristics are not obvious, he has been raised as a boy, and he has replaced the name of his younger brother who died a long time ago for so many years, I am afraid that he is a little aggrieved and depressed in his heart.

"Tell me, Barbara. Sig grabbed the other party's arm and shook it slightly, "What is your father, Viscount Quincy, trying to do?"

Barbara's mouth moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but at this time, the black cat in her arms suddenly meowed, Barbara's complexion changed instantly, and then she struggled away and ran quickly towards the door.

Siggy thought about it and hurriedly chased after him.

However, when he ran out of the door, he found nothing but empty dark corridors.

"Where's the people?" Sieg suddenly felt that the manor was even more weird, and he took out the transmission note and wanted to contact the others.

"Jon, where are you?" said Seeger's first thought.

The transmission note warmed slightly, indicating that the sound had been transmitted. It's just that after a long time, there is still no response from the other side.

Sieg frowned, then tried to contact Rowell again, and this time they finally got connected.

"Captain, where are you?" asked Sigurt as he walked down the underground hallway.

"Sig, damn it, did you see Viscount Limbatten, he doesn't seem to be gone either?!" Rowell's voice came from the transmission note, and he seemed a little angry.

"Limbatten is missing?" Seeger's face suddenly darkened, and he vaguely sensed something.

"Hell, he was behind me and Al just now, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Rowell's voice came: "Also, be careful, I found this manor very weird, many of those male servants have had their tongues cut out, as if they have been absorbed by others, and their life spans have been halved, and they have few years to live." ”

"It's too late. Sieg shook his head slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"We may be in a trap......"

Sieg briefly told Lowell what he had seen and some of his guesses.

The fake Viscount Limbatten, who has been pretending to be his dead brother's family all these years, obviously has ulterior motives. Nine times out of ten, the disappearance in the manor has nothing to do with him.

Then the question arises, if the disappearance case was directed by him, then why did he invite the bloodline magician of the Guards Legion to investigate, didn't this lead to the fire?

Then there can only be one explanation, the other party did it on purpose!

This Viscount Quincy deliberately lured them in, and the purpose is self-evident, his real target may be Liu Wei and a few others!

Thinking of the few junior apprentices who had disappeared before, and Jon, who was still unreachable, Sieg's bad premonition became stronger.

Quincy ...... The name seems familiar. Liu Wei's voice came: "I remember! Quincy Green, one of the rebels who launched the February Rebellion that year, he was only seventeen years old at the time, and because he was born into a nobleman, he made a lot of noise!"

"But more than ten years ago, when the February rebellion took place, these revolutionary parties should have died all!" Liu Wei has served in the Wilden family for a long time, so he naturally knows a lot of secrets: "Forget it, don't worry about it for now, I'm with Al now, you call Jon and Tina, and a few of us will gather in the reception hall of the building for the time being, and then we will discuss." ”

Liu Wei decisively chose to gather several other team members, Sieg nodded without an opinion, and then glanced at the underground corridor, still did not find Barbara's figure, and then climbed the stairs and prepared to walk towards it.

"Don't go back, they'll eat you. At this time, a young child's voice came into his ears, and it seemed to be Barbara's voice.

Sieg jerked his head back, only to find that there was nothing behind him.

"Little Barbara, are you here?" Sieg shouted into the darkness, "Is there anything up there, and who are they?"

Sieg waited for a long time, but there was still no movement. He was silent for a moment, then finally chose to climb the steps and walk out of the basement.

The manor was quiet at night, and the servants had turned off the lights and started to rest, except for the sound of bugs.

Sig made his way to the main entrance of the building and entered the reception hall inside.

The hall was empty at the moment, a few red sofas were neatly arranged, and the huge oil painting was still so realistic, hanging on the opposite wall.

"It's slow. Sieg couldn't help but complain, since Liu Wei and Al hadn't come yet, Sig simply sat on the sofa and waited slowly.

During this time, he tried to contact Jon again, but all of them failed, and Jon seemed to have evaporated from the world.

Sig leaned back on the couch idly and looked at the oil painting directly opposite.

On this huge oil painting, there are still rape flowers all over the mountains, a few hard-working farmers are working their backs, a few women with turbans and baskets are picking something, and the smoke curling in the distance can faintly see the roofs of several houses.

"This must be the oil painting recorded in Barbara's diary, Viscount Quincy did not hesitate to quarrel with his father and brother to buy such famous paintings, but he was also a literary artist. Sieg squinted in appreciation.

He doesn't know much about art himself, but at least he can feel a hint of pastoral beauty in this picture.

It's just that the more he looked at the painting, the more solemn the expression on his face became. Sig, who was originally leaning on the sofa, sat up straight at some point.

"Wait, this painting...... It seems to have changed!" Sieg's eyes were fixed on it.

He clearly remembered that when he first entered the living room with Liu Wei and Viscount Limbatten, there were only scattered women working on the oil paintings on the walls, but at this moment, they were suddenly replaced by men, and the number of them increased a lot.

"One, two...... Four. Sieg counted the extra number of people on the painting, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

In this painting, there seem to be four more laborers!

"Captain, Captain?" Sieg said, grabbing the teleportation note and speaking to the side.

However, there was no sound on the other side of the note.

It wasn't until this moment that Sig noticed that the sofa next door seemed to have been slightly sunken, and he could still feel a trace of temperature when he touched it with his hand.

Someone just sat on it, and it won't be too short!

"Liu Wei and Al, they've just been here!" Sieg reacted instantly.
