The Abandoned Bradbury Manor is located in the aristocratic old district, which is dotted with old aristocratic mansions.
These mansions cover a very large area, which in the city of Bena, where every inch of land is at a premium, these ancient aristocratic mansions themselves are huge wealth, and the quaint walls of some mansions have become old and worn. Some of the buildings have been renovated several times, and now they have a sense of historical vicissitudes, looking solemn and solemn, as well as a little decadent and lonely Gothic style.
Walking down this street, it is not uncommon to see some knights of the guard battalion riding through the quiet long street, the walls of which are covered with dense creepers and ivy.
When Surdak rubbed shoulders with the knights, they scrutinized the badge on Surdak's chest.
It seems that this place is far more heavily guarded than Surdak imagined, and it is hard to imagine how the rebels managed to attack Bradbury Manor at night despite so many guards and knights patrolling the Knights.
Unfortunately, the woman from the Thieves' Guild didn't give enough information last night, and Surdak didn't know the details.
There is a wide square at the gate of Bradbury Manor, which is a place to park the carriage during the grand ball, and some weeds and thorn vines have grown between the cracks in the smooth stone slabs, and the large iron gate at the entrance of the manor is rusty, and this marble humanoid statue nearly three meters high is erected in front of the door.
The low black stele at the foot of the statue reads: Grimm Empire 1708-1857, Hector. The Duke of Bradbury, Lord of Mount Paglos in the province of Bena, has risen to the top of the mountains with a sword in his hand, and his legacy of spirit and glory will be the most precious treasure here. Joseph. Angel Bold wrote in the autumn of 1857.
Surdak didn't know that King Joseph was the first emperor of the Grimm Empire, but it seemed that he was able to leave his name on this monument, so that the descendants of the Bradbury family did not dare to sell the mansion when they were at their worst, and I heard that it was because of the stone tablet under the statue.
To commemorate the hero's contribution to the city of Bena, no one wants to live in this manor, and every Bradbury's birthday, someone places a bouquet of flowers in front of the bronze statue at the gate of the manor.
Hector. The Duke of Bradbury traveled extensively throughout his life, and although he was a duke, he never took charge of the province of Pena.
Standing in front of this statue, Surdak looked at the man who dared to marry a giant beast of the sea as his wife, and many emotions rose in his heart.
There was a big hole in the iron door of the manor, they had lost the function of the door, they were tied together with wire, called part of the outer wall of the manor, the big hole that was broken was almost enough for Surdak to ride a horse in, the iron bar was cut by a sharp weapon, Surdak felt that his blood-red crescent should not be so sharp, and the iron bar that was the thickness of the child's arm on the big iron door was cut.
The dilapidated manor gate was unguarded, and Surdak circled the manor, leaving his horse outside the manor, and walked alone into the decaying manor, littered with the marks of the battle and a few haphazard footprints.
A group of knights of the guard battalion came from a distance, and once again set their eyes on Surdak.
Knowing that he had attracted the attention of this group of knights of the guard battalion, Surdak did not plan to sneak into the manor again, but rode out on the other side of the noble district long street.
After the rebels attacked the Redbury Manor, the guard battalion intensified the patrol of the old aristocratic quarter, and whenever any suspicious situation was found, there would be a guard battalion knight watching from a distance, for fear that there would be a sudden trace of the rebels in the city again......
Surdak spent three silver coins at the grocery store to buy parchment and envelopes, and then went to a restaurant next to the inn for lunch before returning to the Maple Leaf Hotel.
……
Back at the hotel, Surdakra opened the curtains.
During the day, the back streets of the hotel are quieter than at night, with few pedestrians in sight and few magic caravans on the side of the road.
Mrs. Dorothy's carriage had indeed disappeared in place, and on the small row building opposite, a young man in a white shirt was sitting on a wicker chair on the terrace, quietly reading a book, the young man was wearing leather armor and breeches, his body was very well-proportioned, and there was a glass of wine on the coffee table, looking very leisurely.
Surdak withdrew his gaze.
He turned to sit down at his desk, picked up his pen and wrote a letter to Beatrice.
He corresponded with Hathaway, and his replies were always addressed to Beatrice, who was a little more liberal than Beatrice's side.
Later, he wrote a letter of visit to the Marquis de Luthor, stating that he had arrived in the city of Bena, indicating that he would stay in the city of Bena this week and could visit him at any time.
Surdak finished writing the two letters and put them in the envelope, glued the mouth of the envelope with red clay, and pulled the rope that pulled the wall to call the waiter.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Surdak walked to the door and opened the door, and a waiter stood at the door and asked Surdak respectfully, "My lord, what do you need?" ”
Surdak told the waiter to wait at the door, turned and took two letters from the table and handed them to the waiter, and gave him a tip of a silver coin, asking him to send them according to the address.
The waiter took the silver coin and letterhead, and his face was delighted, and a tip was often received for such a thing.
Seeing the waiter put the two letters in his bosom, he saluted Surdak, and hurried out of the inn, and then began to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony.
He was going to go to Bradbury Manor in the aristocratic old district again in the evening, but this time he had to be prepared to go to the manor.
Wait until the sacrificial ceremony is ready.
Surdak took out a magic sealing box from his magic belt bag, and this sealing box contained the skulls of four salamanders as a sacrifice sacrifice, and the salamander head was obviously a grade higher than the head of the hellhound.
Ever since the last time he discovered that there were three more blessings to choose from in the sacrificial ritual, Surdak hadn't tried them, mainly because they required more sacrifices.
Before heading to Bradbury Manor this time, Surdak was ready to try out the magical effects of 'Insight' among the three blessings.
Seeing the two-faced and four-armed statue of the demon god emerge in the center of the altar, Surdak stood on the altar, holding a salamander head in both hands and offering it to the face of the god, he conveyed to the demon god the ability to have insight, but unfortunately the demon god statue did not react at all.
He gritted his teeth, and took out a very well-preserved salamander head from the demon sealing box and sacrificed it, as the salamander head turned into a trace of breath and disappeared, the ability of insight still failed to descend on his body.
Surdak was ruthless, took out the third head and sacrificed it, and a beam of light descended from the ceiling, covering Surdak's whole body......
