A terrible scream broke the silence of the castle's night. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Bang bang bang

There was a rush of footsteps.

"Quick, block all exits to the castle, and no one is allowed to go out. The murderer must not be allowed to run away this time!" A team of castle guards held torches, looking nervous and hurried, and the captain led by was a tall middle-aged man, with well-developed muscles outlining a powerful body, and a seven-foot long sword at his waist.

"Yes, sir. The soldiers at the head were dressed in delicate armor and held spears as tall as a person, and their expressions were slightly nervous.

The soldiers scattered in all directions, guarding the main road in and out, and some of the remaining ones followed the tall man and ran out towards the screams.

"That's where the sound comes from. The group stopped outside the kitchen door on the right side of the castle. The big man calmed down at this time, drew his long sword, cautiously walked to the door and kicked the door open.

"Bang"

The wooden door was kicked open.

Several soldiers fanned their torches and carefully circled around them.

The flickering light of the fire gradually illuminated the room, and a female corpse appeared in front of everyone.

To be precise, it was a dried corpse, without a trace of moisture on its body, its skin was pitch black, and its eyes were gouged out, leaving only a pitch-black eye hole. There was a sour smell in the air.

The tall man walked forward, shook his torch and looked left and right, and said in annoyance, "It's dead." ”

Several timid soldiers gasped and took a few steps back.

"This is the second homicide this month. Behind the crowd, at some point, stood a man dressed in aristocratic clothing, a man in his forties, with gray temples but not showing old color, and an invisible majesty between his eyebrows, standing there made people feel like an unsheathed sword.

"Lord Baronβ€”"

The crowd saluted.

It was none other than the owner of the castle, Baron Bart Brown. Originally a commoner, Bart joined the army and participated in the famous Hundred Years War between the Kingdom of Lionheart and the Kingdom of St. Fran, miraculously surviving the Battle of Jordang, known as the meat grinder, and was made a baron for his military exploits.

Although the Baron is only the youngest title in the Lionheart Kingdom, this is already a great luck for Old Bart from a civilian background.

"Lord Baron, we rushed here as soon as we heard the shouts, and blocked all entrances and exits, but we still failed to catch the murderer. The middle-aged man was a little annoyed.

"It's okay, Chebman" Bart waved his hand and frowned and asked, "Do you know who died?"

The middle-aged man pinched his nose and walked forward to circle around the corpse a few times, and said: "I see that the dress should be Aunt Sith, the cook, and the death is very similar to the previous time, the corpse is shriveled, as if all the vitality has been sucked by someone."

"Old man, I think we're in big trouble. Bart looked at the corpse, his face became more and more ugly: "Go and call the young master to my study, I have something to tell him." ”

......

"Father, you call me?" In the castle's study, a handsome young man carefully pushed open the door.

He was not very old, only sixteen years old, and he was wearing a nightgown at the moment, and his eyes were a little foggy, as if he had not fully woken up from his sleep.

Baron Bart looked up at his only son with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. When he was his age, he was already well-known in Ruoerdang Fortress.

And his own son, it can be said that he is useless and useless, and he knows all day long that he is mixed with the group of gentlemen in Rolling Rock City and does some things that bully men and women, and the sheriff of Rolling Rock City complains to Bart for this.

After his death, the title will be inherited by him, and now Vane's appearance, how can Bart rest assured.

"I heard that you became interested in alchemy a few days ago, and you bought an alchemy puppet from the Red Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce?" asked Bart.

Vane smiled and said, "Indeed, you may not believe it, I think I am very talented in alchemy, and I am ready to put some effort into this"

"Oh, I hope you don't fish for three days and dry your nets for two days like you used to, and then end up giving up halfway. Bart didn't believe that his son was really interested in alchemy, he was just making excuses for himself to get money later.

It's also to blame that Bart himself has been away in his early years, and his wife died early after giving birth to Vane and Vivien, so that there is no one to take care of him, so that Vane has become what he is now.

"Recently, there have been some troubles here in the castle, I am going to dismiss the irrelevant people first, you go to the manor of Baron Brightman in the city for a few days to avoid the limelight, and then you will come back when the matter is over. Bart said.

"Is it a dead man's business?" Vane blinked, curious.

"Don't ask about this kind of thing. Wren glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense when you go out, be careful of getting into big trouble." ”

Vane shrugged. He naturally heard about the strange things in the castle during this time, ten days ago, a maid was found dead in the cellar where the baron hid wine, the death was very strange, the flesh was shriveled like wax, and could not squeeze out a drop of blood, and the servants privately said that the devil was doing the trick, and they were all terrified.

The current castle of the Brown family was purchased by Bart Brown from a merchant after obtaining the baronial title, and is located on the outskirts of Rolling Stone, with no less than 100 servants and more than 30 soldiers in the guard.

Since the last strange incident, the people in the castle have panicked, and Vane knows that his father can no longer hold his breath, and it is estimated that there will be a big move.

Sure enough, Bart took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Vane, saying, "After you get to Rolling Stone, you will go to the Church of Radiance, give it to Bishop Krimu, and tell him that we are in trouble and need his help." β€œ

"Understood. Vane turned out the envelope and knew it in his heart.

Really.

Krimu is the bishop of the Glorious Church in Rolling Stone, and wields extraordinary powers, and with the power of the gods, he can reach the strength of a second-class wizard apprentice.

"And-" Bart walked behind a bookshelf and nudged a red-covered book, the squeak was touched, the shelves separated, Bart opened a dark compartment behind the bookshelf, and took out a waxy yellow book from it: "You take this book with you, wait until you get to Rolling Stone, and give him to your sister." ”

Vane nodded, and took the old book, which looked a little older.

"Primary Blood Vine Winding"

It was actually a spell book, Wren was a little surprised, you must know that in the market, spell books have always been priceless, and an apprentice-level spell book will have to start at least thousands of gold coins when it is placed in the auction house.

"It seems that my father really values my lovely sister. But it's been almost a month since I've been in this world, and I'm tired of staying at Brown Castle all day, and it's time to go out and see the outside world. ”

Back in his room, Wren lay on the big bed, reminiscing about his magical experiences lately.

What Old Bart didn't know was that this Venn was now a non-Vien.

Vane was originally the greatest artificial intelligence engineer ever created by the Galactic Federation, but unfortunately, in an experimental accident, his consciousness traveled to this magical world, replacing the old Vane who only knew how to spend time drinking and playing with women.

After experiencing the initial confusion and shock, the adventurous Vane quickly accepted the reality, but what surprised him even more was that he also had his own private laboratory!

This is a fully intelligent laboratory that can automate construction, research, and analysis. According to the accusation of the central light brain, Venn only needs to invest the corresponding materials and design drawings to continuously and automatically produce all kinds of artificial robots.

"This world is a bit like the Middle Ages in Europe when humans were still in the days of the city-states of Earth. There are knights with full-body armor and big swords, there is an aristocratic feudal system that is divided down layer by layer, and even slaves are allowed."

In bed, Vane began to think back to what he had seen in the past month: "It stands to reason that for this kind of low-level civilization, it seems that I can walk sideways with the ability to build robots automatically, but ......" Vane frowned slightly, and his face showed a hint of worry.

"The world doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems. Within the remnants of the memories of the original owner of this body, there are some accounts of the transcendent......

The Transcendent, also known as the Sorcerer, can harness the power of terror and easily kill anyone. Even an entire army is nothing more than a swarm of ants in the eyes of wizards, which can be easily erased with the wave of a hand.

"In my memory, Old Wayne's father, Barth, had seen a high-level wizard strike in the fortress of Ruoerdang, and the walls of the fortress that were originally impregnable were like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in front of the wizards, and they were easily dismantled. Vane remembered this memory and couldn't help but be shocked by the transcendents of this world.

Flesh and blood can actually grasp supernatural powers, which is unimaginable in the interstellar era in which he lived before.

In this world where power is revered, wizards have naturally become the group at the top of the pyramid. However, not everyone can become a wizard, and this requires talent.

Theoretically, people with higher elemental affinity are more talented.

Vane's elemental intimacy is only 5%, which is pitifully low, and has been determined to be unable to become a wizard. However, his sister Vivian's elemental affinity is as high as 75%, which is a high-class qualification.

"It's really more popular than people. ”
