Chapter 39: Weird
Bang bang bang ~ The six of them approached the castle gate at a gallop on fast horses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As Aaron and the others gradually approached the area of Cooper Castle, a feeling of depression that seemed to linger in their hearts became obvious, especially when combined with the large number of animal skin tents and the empty environment around them, it was simply a faint chill on the body........
Finally, Aaron, Viscount Steve and others came to the gate of Cooper Castle, got up and dismounted, and tied the reins to a low wooden tree on the side of the city gate, Aaron, Steve and others carefully walked into the city gate, and after passing through a short dark corridor, Aaron and others finally came to Cooper Castle -
At first glance, the interior of the castle seems to be no different from Viscount Steve's Leo Castle, the same blue-gray buildings, most of which are the personal houses of the lords, and a few are commercial shops, but surprisingly, all of these places are the same as the outside, and there is not even a single living person.
Seeing this, Viscount Steve proposed: "Let's go to Viscount Cooper's lodgings, the last time I visited, the guy beckoned me to his private study and drank his treasured 'carprofen' (a drink) together, and the taste is still fresh in my memory." ”
"Hey~, if Cooper really repelled the enemy coalition and fled with the entire territory, at least he would take his treasured good things with him, right?"
Aaron shook his head, knowing that even Viscount Steve himself would not believe this - not only to repel the coalition forces of the Kalas Empire, but also to flee with the inhabitants of the entire territory, it was simply a fantasy joke.
Therefore, Viscount Steve's words are just to relieve everyone's psychological pressure - because this place is really a bit weird, not to mention a living person until now, not even a living thing.
Aaron followed Viscount Steve to the quarters in Cooper Castle, and looked at the blue-gray houses around him, and found that there was no trace of blood on the walls of those blue-gray eaves.
"What the hell is going on? It doesn't look like there's been a killing here........"
"Everything was so clean, including a large flat area outside the castle, despite the fact that there were tents, weapons and other stuff scattered around........."
"However, we never saw a trace of blood, as if everything had been 'cleaned'. ”
Aaron's heart was full of doubtful thoughts, and when he reacted, he realized that he had followed Viscount Steve and the others to the conjoined building in the castle accommodation area, and stood in front of a black and cyan gate.
"This is the accommodation area of Cooper Castle, and I would definitely choose to stay here if there are still people to stay. ”
After Viscount Steve explained, he stepped forward and pushed open the door, shouting inside, "Cooper, are you in there, I'm Steve, your old friend has come to see you!"
Loud shouts echoed through the empty quarters, leaving only echoes like a stone falling into the water, splashing only layers of ripples, and no other response.
The whole building is like a fierce beast that chooses people to devour, secretly hiding in the shadows and peeking at the figures of everyone, licking their chapped lips from time to time, waiting for the moment when they open their bloody mouths.
The empty and silent atmosphere made the other four soldiers shudder, and one of them couldn't help but dissuade him: "Lord Viscount, do we really want to go in? Anyway, the people in this castle have nothing to do with us, so there is no need to find out the truth of the matter, right?"
"Moreover, I have heard that there are many things in this world that are beyond the 'ordinary'........"
Viscount Steve hesitated for a moment, but decided, "Let's go in and have a look, and follow me to Cooper's room, and if he is not here or can't find any other useful information, we'll leave here at once." ”
After saying that, Viscount Steve looked at Aaron, apparently asking Aaron's opinion.
And Aaron thought for a moment, thinking that he and the others had come all the way here without incident, anyway, it wouldn't take much time to go to Viscount Cooper's room, and if he still couldn't figure out what was going on, he would just leave when the time came.
So, Aaron nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let's go to Viscount Cooper's room as soon as possible, and if there is still nothing to gain, we will leave here directly, and no longer care about the mystery of this mess." ”
Everyone nodded in unison, obviously everyone had the same idea, if it weren't for the fact that the battlefield outside the castle was too weird, I'm afraid no one would think of entering Cooper Castle to investigate.
Viscount Steve took the lead and walked into the interior of the lodging quarters, which is a typical medieval castle walkway structure, with black and white lattice tiled floors, off-white walls and columns, and permanent hanging lamps hanging from the ceiling of the corridor.
If it weren't for the absence of a single figure........
..............
"I distinctly remember Cooper's room on the third floor, follow me and go up the stairs in the direction on the left. ”
Soon, Viscount Steve led Aaron and the others to a brown wood-colored door in the corridor on the third floor, took a deep breath and said, "I remember this is here, go in and have a look, if there is no one, let's leave this place directly." ”
Aaron nodded in agreement, and stepped forward to push open the door.
Squeak~!
The door was slowly pushed open, and inside was a relatively normal aristocratic dormitory, with brown and yellow walls and brown and red wooden furniture in an elegant medieval tone, and the intricate animal skin carpets and quaint bookshelves against the walls showed that the owner of the room belonged to the privileged aristocratic class.
"Viscount Cooper, are you there?"
Aaron asked symbolically, and after finding that there was no response, he shook his head helplessly, turned back to Steve and the others and said, "It seems that Viscount Cooper is not .........."
Before he finished speaking, Aaron's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes showed a look of horror.
Behind him was a completely empty castle corridor, where were the figures of Viscount Steve and others?!
Swish~!
At this moment, Aaron subconsciously pulled out the newly equipped cross longsword at his waist, glanced around vigilantly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lord Viscount, are you still in the castle? Please answer me.......
A slightly solemn shout gradually drifted through the empty hallway, and no other response was heard........
At this moment, Aaron turned his head to look at the staircase not far away, as if he felt something, but saw a white figure suddenly disappear at the corner of the staircase.
"Who is it?!"
