It was noon, there was no one on the street, the village was too small, and Romon and Avecy set their sights on the simple description of the house mentioned in Jacob's Chronicles.

It was a large, decaying mansion with grass growing on all sides and a locked door.

Although it is locked, it is not difficult for Romon to be affected, Romon has also learned some thief skills, as long as there is time, it is not a problem to deal with a simple lock.

A moment later, the lock opened, and Romon carefully pushed open the wooden door, and a musty smell suddenly rushed straight over, he frowned slightly, and then, looking inside the door.

Decay and desolation. These two words are enough to describe the scene in the courtyard, and it can be seen that many years ago, the environment in this house should have been good, a big tree in the courtyard, three rows of tall houses, in terms of construction scale, obviously more atmospheric and luxurious than other village people.

However, because it has been uninhabited for a long time, at this time, the house has decayed to a certain extent, the weeds in front of the house have grown tall, and the yard is overgrown with weeds, and there is no place to put your feet.

But this luxuriation, on the contrary, sets off the desolation of the courtyard.

"Presumably, this is the residence of Grandpa Jacob, the former village chief. "Because Jacob's grandfather, the village chief who had been involved in the mining business, has died, and Jacob, the only one who inherited the house, is away all the year round, and even if he comes back, he will go back to the castle and will not come here easily, so the lack of human food here for many years will end up with such a sign of decay.

Romon and Avisy led their horses in, while carefully observing the house, as if because their movement was too loud, there were a few small animals because of their entry, scurrying out of the grass, and then hurriedly rushed outside, Romon and Avisy saw it, they couldn't help but shake their heads, sighing, this place is really deserted.

Turning to the front of the mansion, Romon quietly looked around, the wooden structure, the poorly decorated rooms were obviously the servants' quarters, and in the middle was the main building, apparently the residence of the village chief.

"Hey, it's already a standard jazz residence, and it must have made a lot of money back then!" Romon looked at it, muttering to himself.

The small building had a door again, and Luo Meng felt out a wire again and began to deal with the door, and the door was quickly opened again.

Another musty smell filled the whole space, and when it dispersed, and opened the doors and windows, letting the sunlight shine in, I saw that the room was in a mess, most of the furnishings had already been removed, and the things that were slightly valuable were long gone, and in the empty room, only countless messy things were scattered on the ground.

The first thing I think is the hall, and when I look around, I see nothing.

Luo Meng picked up something casually, looked at it, and threw it aside: "I don't know, can there be something we need here." ”

"I suppose that Jacob has no place to live now, and although it is desolate, he will always live here, and he cannot carry many things with him, so he must be hiding here. Avisy said.

Romon nodded and said, "Then let's look for it separately!"

Immediately, the two separated, one to the left and the other to the right, and each had a room there, and began to rummage.

What seems to be a study where Romon went, against the wall, and several rows of bookshelves, the bookshelves were obviously made of the best wood, because it was made of ebony, but on the shelves, there was nothing, not a single book.

There is also a fireplace, the desk against the fireplace and the chair next to it, probably someone has used it recently, it can be seen from the breath, but the materials are ordinary, it is estimated that Jacob came back, and made tables and chairs, but there is no money, and the materials are ordinary.

Romon was on the desk, looking for a long time, but he didn't find anything useful, and when he felt extremely depressed, Avecy, who entered another house and rummaged through, suddenly shouted: "Romong, come here." ”

Romon hurried over and found that it was a bedroom, with a bed in it, and under the bed, a plank had been pulled open, revealing a secret passage.

According to Avissy, she found it by accident, rummaging through the room, looking through it several times without finding anything useful, and was about to leave when she suddenly ran into a mechanism, and the planks under the bed separated.

At the critical moment, Avisy was not reckless, and after discovering this secret room, she did not rush down, but called Luo Meng, and the two discussed it.

Because it was likely that there would be the evidence they needed in the secret room, the two of them finally walked down after ventilating the secret room for a long time.

The two looked at each other, and Romon went down first, with the hilt of his sword in his hand, while Miss Avisy followed.

The dark hallway, a strange smell of musty and rotten smells, ravaged the mouths and noses of Romon and Avisy as soon as they stepped into the hallway.

Walking all the way down, the dry air gives people a very stuffy feeling.

Before entering, Luo Meng and the others had actually opened the entrance and ventilated for a long time, but even so, when they went inside, the smell in the secret room passage was still unbearable.

Walking in this passage, which seemed to have been abandoned for many years, it was better for Romon to walk in this passage, after all, when he was in the ruins of the Thorn Forest, he had been to a secret room passage that was a little worse than the environment here, so he could still bear the situation here.

He just silently chanted, and released another "light technique", so that the light above his head shone on the entire corridor.

Avisy followed behind, frowning at the disgusting debris on the floor of the corridors and tunnels, and the smell of rot and fishiness in the air.

Although the ventilation in the chamber is not very good, the steps and surrounding walls are well repaired. The two walked down for a while, and it didn't take long for a secret room of more than ten square meters to appear in front of them.

The light was only temporary, and Romon saw a table with a candlestick on it, and several candles on it, and went over and lit one of them.

There were two kinds of light sources, and the room suddenly brightened, and as far as the eye could see, the secret room seemed quite crowded and cramped, surrounded by a jumble of objects, utensils, and all kinds of things.

There was also an open box, which was full of coins, but all of them were copper coins, which had long since lost their luster due to years of air corrosion.

Avisy has been looking around since he entered here, and when he saw Romon looking at the coins in a daze, he said, "Take it if you want, it's an ownerless thing anyway." ”

"It's not...... I was thinking, maybe there was more than just this money, there might be other silver and gold coins and so on, and Jacob saw that it would be impossible not to take it. Romon said, looking at the copper coins scattered on the ground.

Judging from the account of Jacob, he has already found this place, and since we have arrived here, let's start looking for clues, and if we can't find evidence here, then it will not be too easy to find evidence elsewhere. With that, she started rummaging through it.

Romon nodded, but it didn't take long to find a bandaged booklet.

The two of them looked through it, and after a while, the two of them were relieved, yes, what they found was indeed the evidence left by the village chief.

Here are a few books, and in the books there is a letter written by Jacob's grandfather, the former head of the village.

The letter was written in great detail, and after reading the letter, Romon and Avisy finally learned another thing unexpectedly, that is, the death of Jacob's grandfather Vidott was not simple.

It turned out that when he was mining, he did it with Soblay, the mayor of the town at the time, and most of the ore was handed over to Soblay in exchange for a lot of money.

Because this was concealed from the lord's work, and he could be hanged if he was discovered, Jacob's grandfather Vidott once kept a private account book for himself, which recorded the amount of mining they had made, the money they earned, the distribution results, and some important events, and used this to ensure the safety of his own life.

He was given some years of peace, but a few years ago, when a book in his possession was stolen and he fell ill and died. Because of the haste of his death, he didn't even have time to tell others, in fact, in order to prevent trouble, he copied two copies of the account book, and another copy, and hid it in the basement.

In order to be afraid that no matter how careful I am, there will still be a day when I will be killed, leaving this last evidence can be regarded as leaving a back hand and not letting myself die in vain.

Looking at the account book in their hands again, I have to say that although some events have been learned about through Jacob's chronicles, Romon and Avisy still sighed a lot when they held the more detailed original records in their hands.

Especially in the last section, even the village chief Vidot suspects that the mine accident did not occur naturally, but on purpose, after all, it happened just when the ore vein was hollowed out, which is also too coincidental.

The two of them saw it, feeling pity for the villagers who were buried alive, and sighing for Jacob's grandfather, Vidot.

"Alright, now that we have the evidence, let's hurry back to the castle and let Baron Galle decide what to do next, for that's not something we can handle. Avisy said.

Luo Meng nodded: "Yes, the power of the ghost is getting stronger and stronger, the sooner it is solved, the better, we will rush back overnight." ”

The two of them discussed it for a while, and felt that the sooner the problem was settled, it would be good for both the dead and the plants in the territory, so when they came out of the room, they led the horses out of the house, got on the horses, and paid no attention to the village, and ran away.
