Chapter 238: Discovery

That night, Roland and Dingenier sneaked into Archimedes' manor as planned.

Although at the beginning, Roland sensed that there was an enchantment here, but when they really planned to enter the enchantment, they didn't feel that their actions were hindered. Roland could feel that the demons stayed here very frequently, and it could no longer be explained by the demons' occasional sneaking in.

And Roland can still feel that there is more than one demon who has been here, and there is even an aura that he feels is somewhat familiar, and Roland seems to have come into contact with it sometimes.

It's a pity that because Roland's body has just recovered, his sense of demons is still a little confused. So Roland couldn't tell which of the demons he had ever come into contact with. At best, Roland could confirm that it was not the summer and Ludwig that Roland was most familiar with among the demons, and Augustine, who had repaired his body.

And the minds of Dingenier and Sharon are obviously not on the same plane as Roland. The two of them quickly surveyed the terrain, as if they had to find some clues.

Roland noticed that although this manor was mainly based on natural landscapes, there were still some inconspicuous houses scattered around it, so he quickly slipped in to investigate.

Sure enough, although these houses looked mossy from the outside and seemed to have been abandoned, after entering these houses, Roland still found traces of frequent human activity here.

It seems that there are many people coming and going in these huts. And judging by the degree of concealment here and the habits and preferences of the people who come, it is very likely that Archimedes himself is coming!

Roland quickly went to what looked like a study and probed. Because he knew that if Archimedes had contact with other people, although not necessarily in the form of letters, he would have left similar clues, and the most likely place for these clues to appear was in the study. Therefore, Roland believes that as long as he examines carefully, he will definitely find something.

Gray slipped up to Roland's side and tugged at his clothes, "What are you doing here?" Dingenier has already probed here, and it's fine. ”

"Can what he checked the same thing as what I checked? He was only concerned with finding out what had caused the change. Roland quickly flipped through the information in the dark cabinet, and did not look back at Gray: "And what I am looking for is the intelligence network that Archimedes has mastered......" The two were talking, Roland suddenly saw a thick stack of lists sandwiched in the information, and quickly took out the list.

The paper of the list was already a little yellowed, and it looked like it had been some time, and it was densely covered with names. Some of these people were people that Roland had seen in Two Moon City before, and some of them had their occupations and responsibilities marked after their names. Roland even saw Ellis's name on it, and it seemed that the list should be true.

It's just that there is such a thick stack of lists, how can Roland know which ones are the ones who deliver the news for Archimedes? Not to mention, the person delivering the message isn't necessarily on the list!

Roland touched the yellowed paper with his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart. But he quickly calmed down again, and continued to flip through to see if he could find anything else. Suddenly, several paintings fell to the ground.

Roland was about to bend down to pick up those paintings, but at this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and rushed directly towards the place where Roland was!

Roland was a little startled by this sudden black shadow, so he hurriedly took two steps back, and then subconsciously pulled out his sword, ready to fight!

Unexpectedly, the black shadow rushed towards Roland with full posture. At the moment when he was about to come into contact with Roland, the black shadow suddenly fell down again, and for some reason he suddenly hid in the wall!

Roland realized that this black shadow was an undead, because two faint green lights had begun to flash on the wall!

Not knowing what was going on, Roland stood there in a daze, just staring at the glowing wall. However, Gray was very calm, he glanced at the wall casually, and then said casually: "Isn't this our old classmate Xiu!" What are you doing here? ”

Roland was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: It turns out that the undead who appeared just now is Xiu! But aren't all the undead black? How the hell did Gray tell that he was repairing?

And Xiu seems to have discovered Gray's existence only after hearing his voice. Then Xiu walked out of the wall slowly, with a pair of glowing green eyes, revealing an embarrassed expression.

"What did you just run? Also, what are you doing here? Gray asked unhurriedly.

Xiu glanced at Roland, and then said cautiously: "I originally thought that you two were uninvited guests, but I was a little anxious when I saw that you seemed to be taking something with you." Then as soon as I was in a hurry, I couldn't help but shoot! But as soon as I made a move, I found out that the person looking for information here would be Roland, who was already dead, and I was a little frightened, so I subconsciously hid......"

As he spoke, Xiu looked at Roland with a vigilant face and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you already dead?" I'm still not human! Or have you become like me now, dead and undead who want to seek revenge on Rand? ”

It's no wonder that the monk has such an idea, after all, according to his cognition, Roland, who can still appear in front of him after being pierced in the heart, has become an undead is the most reasonable explanation.

"I'm alive, I'm not dead, someone saved me that day." Roland replied briefly, and finally added, "But don't tell anyone that I'm still alive." ”

Xiu nodded. For such things, he has long been very accustomed to them, after all, who can't have a few secrets?

Gray asked, "What about you?" What are you doing here? ”

Xiu hesitated slightly, and finally made it out with the plate.

It turned out that since the last time Xia Zuo mentioned that Xiu's death was likely to be related to demons, Xiu had been very concerned about the follow-up development of the demon invasion incident.

So during this time, Xiu has been secretly investigating people or things related to demons in Double Moon City, and the clues slowly point to Archimedes. Then Xiuye, like Roland, found that there was probably something wrong with Archimedes' house, so he took advantage of the night to secretly see if there were any clues here.

As for why Xiu is now in the form of an undead, it is because Xiu has recently improved a lot under Xia Zuo's training. In addition, at night, the form of the undead is more difficult to be discovered, so he went out like this today.

"Did you find anything?" Roland asked.

Xiu shook his head: "As soon as I came in, the two of you also came in." So so far, I haven't gained anything. But you guys, have you found anything? ”

"There's some list here, but I don't know what it does." As he spoke, Roland picked up the paintings that had just fallen on the ground, and said, "There are still these paintings." ”

"Painting? What kind of painting? Xiu felt a little strange and couldn't help but come forward to watch.

Roland picked up the paintings and spread them out on the table, making it easier for Xiu to see the contents on them.

It turned out that the paintings were actually portraits.

The portraits are all depicted with men, some young and some old, to be precise, they should include all ages. Each painting is marked with the date of painting and the year of death, and it is more than 200 years old. And there is also a portrait of Archimedes mixed in this pile of portraits, and the year marked on it is quite old, it should be a portrait of him when he was young.

The three of them looked at the people in the portraits carefully, and found nothing unusual. The only rule is probably that the characters in the portraits of the long ago seem to be mostly peasants and merchants. And the people painted in the portraits of the last 100 years look more like aristocrats when they look at their clothes.
