Chapter 116: Secrets in the Study
Caesar turned around and stopped him with a mesoachio, medium-sized man, reminding a slightly chubby middle-aged man whose eyes were full of superiority, as if everyone was inferior to him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Caesar pondered for a moment and made a judgment in an instant.
I saw that a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Butler Worth, I'm a newcomer to the kitchen, and I'm bringing dinner to Lord Earl for the first time today, and I'm still a little unfamiliar with the castle, so I'm not accidentally lost. ”
"When did the kitchen recruit people? How do I not know?"
The middle-aged man was indeed Vlad's butler, Worth.
Worth looked Caesar up and down suspiciously, his eyes full of distrust.
Caesar scratched his head, pretending to be honest and said:
"I was recruited in the past few days, and it took me a lot of effort to be recruited, just to make some money to subsidize my family. Butler Worth, don't drive me away. ”
Looking at Caesar's aggrieved face, Worthco couldn't say anything more. He waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Alright, alright, since you are working under Lord Earl, you have to do it well, you know? Lord Count will not treat you badly. ”
Caesar nodded violently, his face full of sincerity.
Worth continues:
"Since you're going to bring dinner to the Earl, you'll need to remember the general location of this castle carefully. The Earl's study was on the first floor of the castle, in the southeast corner, at the end of the corridor. I'll just say this once, remember, don't make a mistake, got it?"
Caesar nodded at once and agreed:
"Got it, Butler Worth. I will bring dinner to the Earl at once. ”
Worthco looked at the "honest and honest" Caesar and nodded with satisfaction:
"Well, let's go. ”
Just as Worthco turned to leave, a smile appeared on Caesar's lips.
Now that the location of the study has been confirmed, the next thing to do is to dive inside and see what secrets are hidden in the study that keeps Count Vlad closed.
Back on the first floor, along the southeast-facing corridor, Caesar made his way to his destination.
Along the way, you can occasionally see a few guards preparing to go to dinner. They saw Caesar pushing the food cart just a few more glances, but he didn't bother with it.
It was so smooth that we came to the end of the corridor in the southeast corner.
At the end of this hallway, there was one and only this door.
Caesar stood in front of the door, listening carefully to the movement.
After listening carefully for a long time, I heard nothing.
Caesar tentatively knocked on the door of the study.
"Knock, knock, knock. ”
Three muffled sounds echoed through the hallway.
After the knock on the door, there was no response for a long time.
Caesar looked suspicious, isn't it all Vlad's time for dinner, why is there no movement in the room today?
After a moment's hesitation, Caesar decided to find out.
He carefully twisted the doorknob.
There was a "squeak", and the door opened.
Caesar peered through the crack in the door.
From this small gap, the dimly lit room doesn't really look real, but on closer inspection, it doesn't look like a human being.
Realizing this, Caesar no longer hesitated, pushed the door in, and walked into Vlad's study.
In the study, all the lights were turned off, and it was pitch black.
Soon, Caesar's eyes adjusted to the darkness around him, and he began to be able to see things in his study.
I saw that the study room was quite deserted, except for a bookshelf, a few books that I don't know what they were were placed on the bookshelf.
Directly in front of the bookshelf is a desk, on which there is only a small figurine except for a few pens. The statue is not known to be made of, but it looks like an unknown monster.
The monster has wings and looks extremely hideous. I don't know if such an abominable monster was imagined out of thin air by the creator of the statue or if it was real.
After looking around, Caesar was sure that there was no one in the room.
This made Caesar feel a little strange.
I heard that Count Vlad had been staying in his study lately and had not gone out, and even the servants of the house were rarely seen. But now, there is no sign of him in this study.
Caesar looked around again. It's so simple that it can't be simpler, and it doesn't look like it can hide a person.
After some searching, Caesar finally made some discoveries.
He found that there were traces of burning paper in the fireplace in the study.
From the incinerated remains, Caesar picked out a number of fragments of paper that had not yet been completely burned.
What should have been written on these pieces of paper was burned in flames, and only a few words remained. And these few words will only make people more confused.
Looking at the scattered handwriting on the fragments, Caesar frowned.
"Experiments on the eye are finally making progress...... The experiment still failed...... It seems that there is a new discovery...... His Royal Highness the Grand Prince...... Final Subject......"
Looking at these fragments of text, Caesar was able to determine that:
This Count Vlad is really on the side of the eldest prince, and he seems to be doing some kind of experiment for the eldest prince, and the specific content of the experiment should be related to the eyes.
From these handwritings, Caesar was able to tell that was all he could tell.
Caesar sat in the chair behind his desk, lost in deep thought.
Experiment?eye?
What are the Grand Prince and the Count Vlad up their hands on, and what kind of experiments are they going on?
While thinking about it, Caesar noticed that the statue on the desk seemed strange.
He reached out to pick up the statue and take a closer look.
But when Caesar held the statue, he realized that the statue was connected to the desk.
The statue cannot be picked up from the desk.
Caesar immediately sensed that something was wrong.
It seems...... It's not a statue.
Caesar was a little unsure, but he had never seen a statue glued to a table.
Upon second observation, Caesar felt more and more that something was wrong with the statue.
From the mouth and eyes of this monster, it seems that the statue is not solid, and it is not hollow. Through the cracks, Caesar discovered that the monster statue had a complex structure, with various tiny parts forming its core.
The level of sophistication and complexity is beyond human imagination.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, Caesar only felt that it seemed to be some kind of mechanism.
Turn it tentatively.
Just after a crisp "click", the bookshelf on the wall behind him was slowly removed.
Caesar heard the movement of the bookshelf and looked back, only to see a passage peeking out from behind the bookcase. The passage leads to the underground, but it is not known where it leads.
The passage was pitch black and looked a little eerie.
When the secret passage behind the bookshelf was revealed, Caesar's heart moved:
Presumably, this Vlad is behind this secret passage.
