After the war, the private soldiers of the Habsburg family cleaned up the battlefield, buried the corpses of the minotaurs, and the soldiers who unfortunately died also had to do the follow-up pension work.

Lei Ming arranged for nearly 10,000 soldiers of the family to return to the border and station, which were mainly militias, and there were private soldiers of the family to restrain them, so it was not a big problem.

Lei Ming himself, on the other hand, accepted the invitation of the Duke of Habsburg to rest in a nearby castle and hold a small celebration banquet at the same time.

The main purpose of this celebration banquet is to boost morale, inspire the people, and commend the soldiers who performed bravely in the battle.

It was an opportunity to get up close and personal with the two Imperial Dukes, and it was their proudest moment.

After a brief meal, Lei Ming went into a secret room with the Duke of Habsburg, and the eldest son of the Duke of Habsburg, Werther, followed them, and came into contact with these important matters as a junior, with the aim of seeing and learning more.

The Duke of Habsburg unfurled a detailed map of the province on the large wooden table, and Thunder walked over to the table to look closely, while Werther craned his neck to read.

"After the bull head left the battlefield, he headed north, passing here, and here, and here. The Duke of Habsburg pressed his left hand to a corner of the map, and with his right hand he pointed to several landmarks on the map, and said, "Then, disappearing from here, it will certainly not appear in these directions, then, the scope is narrowed, and after careful comparison, I feel that this castle is the most likely location." ”

Thunder followed the Habsburg Duke's finger and pondered the situation.

According to the clues provided by the Habsburg dukes, there were two castles in that area, as well as a river.

He had not yet seen why the Duke of Habsburg had said that one of the castles was the most suspicious, but the Duke of Habsburg had already given an explanation.

"It's a relatively well-preserved castle, and when I found it, I couldn't believe it. From the outside, this castle has experienced many years of wind and sun, but the interior of the castle is very clean and tidy, but there is no trace of human cleaning, and then. This castle was used by my youngest son......"

Speaking of the castle, the Duke of Habsburg seemed to open the conversation, this castle has also attracted his attention recently, but he has not yet found time to visit it.

He invited Lei Ming to sit down, and then spoke slowly: "There is nothing that this castle has been taken by my youngest son. After all, this area is not very suitable for farming, and although my other sons are also enthusiastic about this castle, they do not fight for it in the long run.

My youngest son's mother came from the Auguste family, so my youngest son was loved from an early age, and when he moved in, he not only sent a lot of maids to serve him, but also sent a private army of 300 men to protect him.

Just a few days ago, my youngest son was sent back with a dozen or so remaining privates, covered in blood, and two of them went mad when they returned. My youngest son is fine, but he was frightened and has been in a mess for a few days, and he has not recovered yet.

I asked the privates, and many of the privates who were in charge of protecting my youngest son were good at it, and I was shocked when this happened, and I learned a little bit about it from their mouths.

There is a big problem with that castle!"

The Duke of Habsburg's expression became serious, and Thunder heard a summary, and he sat up straight. Continuing to listen to the Duke of Habsburg, Werther stood to the side, his face calmer, probably already knowing about the castle.

"According to the private soldiers. They stayed in the castle, and on the third day one of the maids disappeared, and they didn't pay much attention to it, and guessed that it might have been my youngest son, so no one bothered.

Then in the following time, every now and then a handmaiden would disappear from the castle. Except that my youngest son's reputation is getting worse and worse, there is nothing.

This changed seven days ago, during a thunderstorm, and the privates did not go out on patrol, but all walked around the castle until late at night, when the gates of the castle could not be opened, and the privates in the castle knew nothing......"

"It is said that many people died that night, and the awakened private soldiers tried to flee, but could not open the gates of the castle, and the rain fell from the sky as if it were white, and my youngest son was escorted by the loyal private soldiers of the family to run around, trying to leave the castle, but could not find an exit. ”

They tried to open the gate, but the gate of the castle seemed to be blocked with countless stones, and the maids who had disappeared before appeared one by one, dragging one private soldier after another into the darkness. This went on for two days, and even during the day, when it was still raining white, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sky was extremely dark, and it was only at this time that the remaining private soldiers could get a little food to fill their stomachs, because during the day, no maids would come out again, and they curled up at the gate of the castle for two days. ”

At this time, Thunder took the liberty of interrupting the Habsburg Duke's speech, and he asked: "Are those private soldiers still alive?"

"A few have died of illness, but there are still a few alive, they are also the elite of the family, and they have seen a lot of big scenes, if it is just illusions and ghosts, the situation should not be so bad. ”

The Duke of Habsburg knew what Lei Ming meant, he waved his hand, motioning for Lei Ming to listen to him: "These private soldiers will not sit still, after being persecuted, they have also fought back, those handmaidens are not ghosts, the sword can leave scars on their bodies, but the wounds will heal quickly, even if the head is cut off, and soon after it comes back to life, it is almost impossible to kill." ”

"This strange white raindrop continued to fall, and at last only thirty or so private soldiers were left to protect my little son. I don't know what the situation is, but one of the walls of the intact castle suddenly collapsed, giving them a way to live, and if it weren't for the sudden collapse of the wall, they would not have survived at all. ”

"Outside the castle, the sun was shining, and when you looked at the castle, it was dark. Along the way, there were a lot of private soldiers who fell, and there was nothing wrong with their corpses, and I sent someone to investigate near the ancient castle, and everything was normal, and there was no collapsed city wall at all.
