After sitting in his room for a while, Carl pushed the door open and entered.

"The auction is in the aristocratic area of the ground, and I haven't seen the exact location yet. Alexia said.

"Hmm. Karl nodded, "I already know, I happened to pass by the noble district when I was looking at the house today. ”

"What else?"

"I've got my eye on a house, but I need your help. Karl handed Alexia a copy of the paper.

"Oh?" the girl raised an eyebrow and took the notebook.

Carl saw a noble mansion for sale in the real estate agent's booklet, and the price was only 800 gold coins, which naturally attracted Carl's attention at an abnormally low price.

After several inquiries, Carl figured out the story of what had happened in the big house of the Davis family's old home.

The Davis family is also a relatively large aristocratic family in Tahamat, but an incident a few years ago almost removed the family.

At an auction at that time, a work of art with a female bust carved by gray crystals appeared, which was very inconspicuous among many lots, but the Earl Stilwell, the patriarch of the Davis family, sold it at a price that everyone expected, which caused quite a stir at the time, and many people thought that the Earl was not old and confused.

But what turned out later was clearly beyond everyone's expectations.

After the Earl put the statue in his room, he was originally only a bronze-level strength, and he suddenly seemed to have awakened, and quickly rose to the silver median, if only that, because compared to that strength, the Earl's own status is higher.

Earl Stilwell was already in his eighties, an old man on the verge of death, and although his strength would prolong his life, it would never make him look young.

But it is true that the Earl of Stilwell has slowly changed from an old man to a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties in two months.

Many people speculate whether the gray crystalline statue is a secret treasure handed down by wizards in the ancient magic era, although the magic at that time was barbaric and rough, but the strange and unpredictable effect is also inferior to modern magic.

Earl Stilwell sternly refused anyone who wanted to see the statue, including Archduke Sapir, the lord of Tahamat.

If this is the end of the story, then it is the story of a lucky man, but the weird thing is still to come-

One day in the third month after Count Davis obtained the crystallized statue, the lights in the house were never lit again, and Archduke Sapir quickly sent a team of guards to investigate, and the result was that all those who were in the house at the time, including the pet cat, disappeared overnight, and the supper that had just been placed in front of the table and the ashes in the fireplace could be judged, without warning.

And the crystalline statue is gone.

And just gone.

Only a few members of the entire Davis family survived, and in order to compete for the glory of the family's earl title, the Davis family's previously branched tribes crowded into the Tahamat mansion, arguing day and night.

Rather than retrieving those who have disappeared, they are discussing how to quickly divide up their identities and possessions while they are away. Earl Stilwell's youngest son, Faulkner, a lucky one, was instead excluded from the mansion and cursed helplessly.

And then again.

More people than the first time disappeared overnight.

For a while, the nobles who lived near the Davis family's old mansion were panicked and began to prepare for moving, for fear that one day they would be swallowed up by an invisible giant mouth like those who disappeared.

Faulkner was also frightened to the point of madness, and he frantically fled to the country manor, away from the mansion that had chosen people to eat, and threw the old mansion at the office for two thousand gold coins.

Whoever likes to buy buys it.

But no local dared to buy that house.

In order to integrate into the upper class society as soon as possible, a wealthy businessman from other places bought this house despite the dissuasion of others, but he was still very smart, he did not live in it directly, but first recruited workers to renovate the whole house, and then when he renovated it, he found a terrible thing.

Those who disappeared were not teleported to an unknown area, as many had previously assumed, but were sealed under walls, pillars, and floors...... In the courtyard, a large pit was even found that dozens of people were buried alive!

The unfortunate ones kept their movements from the moment before they were killed, and some even scuffled together, and when they were sealed underground, they were still alive, but they couldn't move, and they suffocated to death!

After all the bodies were taken away and the victims' families were taken away for burial, the wealthy businessman who was lucky still chose to live in.

This house cost him three or four thousand gold coins, and if he was lost, he would also die of pain.

But the fluke mentality was originally unreliable, and it was only the next day that the rich merchant and several of his men also disappeared......

This time, people are not even in the mood to see the results, they must have been eaten by the house again.

Cardinal Titus of the Church of Light was invited by the Lord of the City to carefully inspect the old Davis family's mansion, and by the way, he dug up the bodies of the new victims under the rose garden in the garden and buried them in the cemetery.

Bishop Titus regretfully told the Grand Duke, who was waiting for an answer, that the room was surrounded by an energy field of unknown effect, and that the Great Purification Technique could not be eliminated, but that it was no longer expanding.

In other words, the land is unusable.

The people who knew the news breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they gradually stopped paying attention to the old mansion - since the danger zone would not expand, as long as they did not die and entered it, it would be fine.

Of course, I won't be stupid enough to buy it.

Maybe the gold-level existence can resist that power, but why not spend more money to buy a normal place, not to mention that he is not afraid of his family, so the old mansion is deserted.

Only the price of 800 gold coins sold by the church is listed at the real estate agent.

"You have a crush on this house?" Alexia said, closing the book, "You shouldn't be short of money." ”

When Carl went to reset his school uniform, she also noticed that he directly chose the most expensive one, and a property the same size as the Davis family's old mansion, no matter how expensive it was, it would not exceed 30,000 gold coins, in other words-

It's the money for two sets of clothes on Carl.

"No, that's not what I'm looking at. Karl shook his head, "What I'm interested in is the secret behind this house. ”

"You're going to take a risk?" Alexia's eyes lit up.

"Do you want to join?" Karl asked, "it could be dangerous." ”

"It's dangerous. The girl's eyes narrowed, "It's nothing." ”

Really, it's nothing-

compared to her ultimate goal.

"Then let's start analyzing. Carl moved a chair and sat down, "All the information you need to find is here, you can see something." ”

Hearing this, Alexia re-flipped through Karl's data book and looked down for a moment.

"I can't tell. Alexia frowned.

"I'll analyze, you judge. Karl pointed to himself, then to Alexia.

Alexia nodded.

"There are five special intelligence-"

"First, that gray crystalline statue, this must be the core of the secret behind the murderous mansion. Second, the delay in the outbreak of the disappearance case is recorded as three months, one month, and one day, respectively. Thirdly, Archduke Sapir was also interested in statues. Fourth, among the bodies found, there was no Earl Stilwell. Fifth, in fact, before the first collective disappearance, there were also two handmaidens of the Davis family who disappeared. Get rid of the useless first. ”

Five pieces of special information.

Alexia pondered for a moment: "Exclude the third. ”

"Actually, the third one is the most suspicious. Karl spread his hands, "But I feel the same way as you, and this matter has nothing to do with the Grand Duke." ”

"Assuming that the energy field is generated by the gray crystalline statue, then what conclusion can you draw about the second piece of information? ”

Alexia cupped her forehead and thought for a moment: "The diffusion of the energy field should take time, if the diffusion time is set at two and a half months, then the conclusion is - the more people, the longer the preparation time required to devour." ”

"Well, then the fourth, do you think Earl Stilwell is behind it? ”

"Yes and no. Alexia muttered, "He's missing with the Grey Crystal Statue, and there have been cases before and after, and I suspect he's with that statue, maybe he's hiding somewhere in the Murder House." ”

"My conclusion is that Earl Stilwell was used as a gunman, and that the real black hand was the one who told Earl Stilwell about the special features of the gray statue, and that he only told half of the Earl's information. Karl shook his finger, "Otherwise, Lord Count would not have spent nearly half of his fortune to buy a statue for which he did not know the purpose." ”

"Hmm. Alexia nodded.

That's why she says yes and no.

"What can you judge under Article Five?" Karl asked.

The news of the maid's disappearance did not cause much trouble at the time, and Karl pushed a set of conclusions and went back to find evidence based on the conclusions, and sure enough, he found this in the vast amount of materials in the large library of Tahamat.

"The maid is missing, and the Count is regaining ......her youth," Alexia muttered to herself, "so the effect of that energy field is - devouring life?"

"Devour life and transform it into the statue bearer. Carl pulled out a black-covered book from the spatial ring.

Alexia glanced at the title.

The Forbidden Rituals, Volume II.

"This is an ancient ritual magic that appeared before the Sages of the Wind. "The taboo of it is that life is exchanged for life - and it is not equivalent." ”

Carl saw what he wanted to see and tapped his finger on it: "It's almost ten years for a year, and it has a huge side effect." ”

"What side effects?"

"The human beings who are sacrificed have to go through extreme suffering in order to extract the vibrations, and the negative emotions that accompany the suffering are borne by the person who receives them. ”

"Earl Stilwell is crazy. Alexia was incredulous.

"That's right, he's crazy, in every sense. ”

Karl closed the black book and concluded—

"He 'eats' everybody. ”
