Looking at the empty ground, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and even felt an inexplicable chill surging into their hearts. Although they didn't pay attention to the maid because they were in a hurry when they came in, everyone knew that there was indeed a maid who had been knocked unconscious by their captain and fell there. But now, there is no figure there, all is a piece of clothing without an owner. After seeing this, the rumors of Twilight Castle inevitably resurfaced in everyone's minds, and they looked at each other with a shudder, but they didn't know what to say.

"Captain, this ........."

"Shut up, I'm not blind!"

Lester frowned, shouted in a low voice, he subconsciously glanced at the door, although the door at the moment was hidden, but it was not completely closed, originally Lester planned to lock the door immediately, but this strange state of affairs made him a little afraid. He walked over to the gate, grasped the handrail of the gate, thought for a moment, and then gritted his teeth.

"We'll talk about this later, I think everyone knows that there used to be strange things here, and now those rumors don't know if they're true or not, don't panic! Now, let's start at once, according to our original plan, three people start searching!" Lester paused, and then looked at his lieutenant standing beside him.

"You lead two people here to guard the gate, and if there is any case, notify us immediately!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After hearing the response of his subordinates, Lester nodded with satisfaction, and the original deep uneasiness seemed to be temporarily calmed. But even so, the original "leisurely vacation" mood is also gone, in the eyes of everyone, this castle is very magnificent, and the decoration is also very luxurious. But now, when they looked again, they felt nothing but coldness, loneliness, and a presence that seemed to be alienated from everyone—from the whole world of the living, frightening, and avoidable.

Hurry up and end the mission and go back.

Not only Leicester, but also his subordinates had the same idea. So, after Leicester gave the order, they quickly dispersed and marched towards the castle in groups of three.

Although the population in the Twilight Forest is small, the Twilight Castle is really not small. Because for a long time, the Twilight Forest was at the forefront of the border between the enemy and us, so the Twilight Castle itself is not just a simple castle, but a mix of a considerable part of the characteristics of the fortress, steep cliffs and mountain walls are its natural barriers, and the interior of the castle is much larger than the ordinary one, and in fact, although most of the castles will also take into account the elements of siege and defensive warfare at the beginning of the establishment, but the Twilight Castle is obviously more thorough in this regard. In order to be able to assemble in the shortest possible time and take advantage of the terrain to strike at the enemies who invade the castle, Twilight Castle has made a lot of changes in the passage and room area. The long room was connected by three or five passages, which were intricately connected to the other houses, and for those who were not very familiar with the castle, once they entered it, they would be attacked by the enemy who dared to disperse their forces. And if you concentrate your forces at one point, you will be surrounded by the other side and isolate the way out. Of course, after the end of the war, the castle has also undergone considerable changes under the restoration of later owners, but the basic layout of the interior cannot be changed.

But Lester and the others obviously didn't know what was special about Twilight Castle, and in fact, due to the rather hidden surname brought about by the construction and decoration of the hall, these people did not notice this, and they quickly split up in two ways, some people searched on the first floor, while the other part went upstairs to search for those fish that slipped through the net to avoid accidents.

"This nobleman is really poor. ”

Looking at the restaurant in front of him, which was not shabby, but not particularly luxurious, a warrior smiled sarcastically and spoke.

"Yes, there isn't even a gold plate here, and the brothers want to get something to splendid. ”

Sweeping the decoration on the wall, the other person could not hide his disappointed expression, originally in their memory, the living room, the dining room and other places were the easiest places for nobles to show off their wealth. But at the moment, this aristocrat is obviously not among them, not to mention those luxurious decorations, antiques, even on the walls, there is no hanging painting decoration or the like. This also disappointed the soldiers who had taken advantage of the excitement, but after a few words of taunting, they still clenched their weapons, slowed down, and walked towards their destination.

"Squeak!"

And at this moment, a small cry suddenly sounded, so that the three people who were originally in charge of the search were suddenly startled, they subconsciously turned their heads and observed the place where the sound came from, but only saw a small black shadow suddenly burst out from under the table, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness of the corridor and disappeared.

"There are even rats, how can this nobleman be so poor, this is not as good as those rich merchants. ”

"Alright, don't talk too much, do things!"

The three of them didn't take this sudden accident to heart, they just sent a few words of scratching, and then moved on. But they didn't notice that at this moment the mouse poked its head out from behind the door again, carefully observed the figures of the three people, and then scurried and quietly followed behind them.

Originally, in the eyes of everyone, although this mission was a bit weird, it was not difficult, after all, according to the information conveyed above, there were not too many people inside the Twilight Castle, let alone a garrison force to speak of. Before they arrived, most of them thought that it was nothing more than the lord's reliance on those horrific rumors to deter the invasion of ill-intentioned people. But now, after being inside the castle, the people suddenly realize that this place is far more complicated than they imagined.

Not only because of the increasing number of passages and stairs as you go deeper, but also because it is too quiet. Although the intelligence said that there were not too many people, at the moment, it was really as if there was no one living in this castle at all. Judging by common sense, no matter how down-and-out the nobles are and lack manpower, they should arrange a few servants to be on duty at night. Not only are they responsible for dealing with emergencies at night, but they are also responsible for maintaining the lighting and safety throughout the castle. But now, there was not half a figure to be seen here, and although some soldiers even made a noise on purpose, they couldn't see anyone approaching it at all.

What the hell is going on in this place?

The more it goes deeper, the more uneasy it becomes, and the more ............ Until they want to show their doubts and uneasiness to their companions, they find that they don't know when, there is no one around them who can rely on them.

"Damn it, how can there be so many passages in this hellish place!"

A warrior gritted his teeth and walked slowly against the wall, while at his side followed a swordsman, and behind them, the thief with a dagger in his hand, focused on protecting the rear of the two.

"I don't think it's right, why don't we just go back and meet first. Talk to the captain?"

Hearing this, the swordsman also frowned, and he glanced back uneasily, the passage in the distance was still shrouded in darkness, and it seemed as if there was no end. Even I want to go back the way I came, instead of continuing to go deeper as I am now.

"It's not good, the captain has always been very plan-oriented, if we ..............."

Faced with hearing his companion's proposal, the warrior with the giant axe was a little hesitant. Just as he was about to say something, you know, Captain Leicester is not a good talker, although the situation in front of him is indeed strange, but before he encounters any danger, he will definitely be scolded if he goes back like this. Moreover, no matter how much I say it, I am a warrior, and if I am scared by such a trivial matter......... "Gah!!"

Suddenly, a hoarse chirping sound came from the window, and the three of them immediately turned their heads, and then they saw a dark crow perched on the windowsill, spreading its wings, tilting its head to look at the three people in front of them.

"Damn broken birds!"

The Giant Axe Warrior was already a little irritable, but he was immediately enraged by the crow, and he stood up suddenly, and no longer concealed his whereabouts, strode to the window, and opened the window with force, and with this action, the crow flapped its wings as if it was also frightened, and quickly flew towards the night sky.

At this moment, the attention of the three of them was focused on the pitch-black figure flying in the night sky, and because of this, they did not perceive the danger around them.

The thief in the rear felt only a slight sound of wind coming from the back of his head, but before he could subconsciously plan to roll and dodge, the cold, hard pitch-black arrow easily penetrated his brain, and the poor creature only had time to open his mouth and make a near-inaudible "ha" sound, and then fell to the ground, without moving.

"There's an enemy attack!"

Seeing the thief behind him fall to the ground, the swordsman immediately jumped to his feet, and he subconsciously turned around, trying to erect a shield in front of him, but at the same time, a second dark sword followed him like a shadow through his unorganized defensive line, and its tricky angle shot into his throat, strangling the word "attack" in the swordsman's mouth.

The Great Axe Warrior was the slowest to react, and in fact, he couldn't be blamed for being too sluggish, in fact it wasn't until his companion fell to the ground, there was only a two-second gap, and it wasn't until the swordsman fell to the ground that the sound of the cold armor clashing with the ground was heard that gave him the final warning. But that was the end of it, and although the Greataxe Warrior stopped his companion's dying warning, a third pitch-black arrow still easily shot into his eye, turning the results of the last warning into nothing.

"That's it. ”

At the end of the corridor, around the corner covered by the dark shadow, the girl with long aqua blue hair stood up and put down the longbow in her hand, her pretty, cold face revealing a hint of disapproval. Then, she straightened the corners of her dress and turned away.

"Please tell Miss Charlotte that my mission has been accomplished. ”

With the maid's words, the originally quiet air suddenly agitated, and the cold soul wind suddenly erupted, and they let out a low whistling through the corridor, and the heavy wooden doors on both sides of the corridor were heavily closed under the action of an invisible force, completely isolating the three corpses from everyone.

And at this moment, unlike the companions who were searching in the castle, the three people who were in charge of staying behind were extremely bored at the moment.

"How long are we going to wait here?"

The thief with the dagger in his hand looked out of the door uneasily, and could not understand why it was just a simple task, and there had been no movement for so long. According to the booked plan, they should have been able to hear the screams, screams, or a few girls in pajamas fleeing here in panic. But now, the situation was completely unexpected, and not only was there no sound to be heard, but the whole castle seemed to be quieter than it had been when they came. Of course, they didn't expect that the castle was far more complex than it seemed, but it was very rare that there had been no news for so long.

"Captain, you say, something must have happened to them. ”

"Nonsense!"

His companion, apparently not impressed by the thief's crow's mouth, snorted coldly.

"The captain is not you, how can you be so stupid? take care of yourself, now we have an important task, don't get distracted!"

"I know, I'm just talking ........."

"Alright, stop arguing!"

The young warrior standing between the two frowned and interrupted their conversation. He was Lester's deputy, and he thought he knew his superiors very well. And the eerie silence at the moment is really a little too long, not only these subordinates, but even himself, can't help but feel a little uneasy. Could it be that the information is wrong, and who else is guarding this castle here? It doesn't make sense......... Even if something happens, it can't be reported at all.

"Don't talk nonsense, our task is to hold the door, you all cheer me up for 120,000 points, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for being unkind!"

The three of them didn't notice that just above their heads, a petite black shadow was hovering there—yes, it wasn't really levitating, and in the moonlight, it was faintly visible, and under the girl's feet, there were several small, almost invisible rays of light intertwined, spreading out like a spider's web, supporting the girl's body in it. And now, the girl is stretching her hands, lowering her head, squinting her eyes and carefully examining her prey. Then, she couldn't help but straighten her collar and stabilize the huge "murder weapon" that was shaking a little bit.

"It's so tiring that something this big, I should have given it to Ludy if I knew I should have given it a little. ”

The girl smiled and whispered to herself in a barely audible voice, then she lowered her hands, and something shook off her dark, luxurious gloves.

"Huh?"

Sensing something slipping in front of him, the young warrior subconsciously waved his hand, but all he could feel was a soft, almost non-existent touch.

"Nasty cobwebs. ”

After casually waving away the thin silk thread in front of him, the young swordsman snorted coldly, and then continued to focus on the hall in front of him.

At this moment, the girl's hands were slightly lifted upward, and ten slender, slender fingers began to shake like playing a piano, and then, her hands stopped, and then clenched tightly.

And in the next moment, the girl's figure crossed a semicircle in the air and jumped downward.

The wind sounded.

No one had time to react to the girl's jump, and in fact, when they looked up and saw the beautiful, mysterious black shadow, their lives were ended.

"Hum!!"

When there were still two or three centimeters from the ground, the girl's figure hovered in the air, she tilted her head curiously, and then suddenly pulled hard, and then, the invisible thin threads contracted, wound, and returned to where they should be.

When the girl fell to the ground, the three of them still kept looking up at the motion, without the slightest change, the only difference was that the head that should have been on their necks had now rolled to the ground, and the bright red blood stains were smeared on the carpet, leaving a shocking red of life.

"Tomorrow is a good day. ”

Sweeping lightly over the corpses that had lost their balance and had finally fallen to the ground, the girl walked out of the door and glanced at the clear and cloudless night.

"If you wash the carpet, it should be able to dry quickly. ”

Then the girl pulled up the door and closed it tightly.

From this moment on, Lester and the others no longer had any hope of survival.
