The Carrett family has its own dark secrets.

Well, let's just assume it's true.

So what? They're going to die anyway.

At the thought of this, the curiosity aroused in Kane's heart faded again.

The testamentary documents are obtained, and the succession to the throne has been completed by 60%.

Another 30% are the seals of the marquisal lords, crowns, scepters, seals, secret books, land certificates, and other inheritances.

The last 10% is the specific control of Crimson Hills, as well as the official filing.

At present, the specific control of the villa is in the hands of Panmila, which is an important support for her ability to control the people.

If the Marquis's permissions are equivalent to the Administrator permissions of the computer system, what Panmira now has is the top-level permissions of the Users group.

If she is also involved in Ryan's secret research, then I am afraid it will be considered an additional permission of the secret place. This means that as soon as Ryan died, she was the supreme administrator until the new marquis succeeded to the throne.

Kane naturally prefers to see the supreme authority in Fran's hands, and he has a lot of dreams at night, and he doesn't want to delay that kind of thing for a moment.

Coming out of Panmela's room, he said to Maria, "Let people go to the other rooms." ”

Maria led the people to carry out the order, and Kane explained to Fran: "It's a bit strange that we've made a lot of noise, and no one is paying attention to it. ”

Hearing Kane say this, Fran also realized that the situation was a little strange.

Then Maria called, "Baron, Marquis, please come and see." ”

Kane and Fran enter Maria's room, which has a simple interior structure, with the effect of a modern standard room, bedside tables, and twin beds.

The maid lying on the bed did not react at all as if she were dead.

Kane walked over, reaching for a maid slipping through the wide collar of a maid, and his hand was warm and creamy.

"The heart is there, it's beating normally. ”

"......," said Franxin, "your method of examination is really different. ”

At this time, Kane rolled up the maid's eyelids and shook the lamp.

"The pupils are not dilated, but they have been maximized, they do not respond to the light, and the soul is gone. ”

As he spoke, he used the same method to check on the other person, and the result was the same.

Kane straightened up and said to Maria, "Check the other rooms to see what is going on." ”

Kane and Fran leave the room and start back in the hallway.

"Isn't this a group sleep magic specially set up to let people rest better?"

Fran couldn't help but laugh: "How can there be such a setup? ”

The eerie atmosphere was also diluted a lot by Kane's words.

After a while, Maria came to report, and so did the servants in the other rooms on the fourth floor.

"It seems that some things don't end with Ryan's death. ”

Fran's expression was a little frightened, a little distorted, and she said with some inwardness: "It must be that slut of Panmilla......"

Kane interrupted Fran by calling out his name, "Don't be blinded by hatred, if there is another mystery here, it could easily put you in danger." No matter how twisty and weird what happened in the villa, it is already in the past, and the mystery will be solved little by little. Take the authority into your hands first, Fran. Stabilize the overall situation inside and outside, and then peel off the cocoon to solve the affairs. Ryan won't die in vain, and none of those who should be responsible for the incident will be able to escape. The premise is that you have enough strength. ”

Fran took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

"Where are we going now?"

Just then, the clock struck midnight.

Although the main building has a huge chronograph tower, it doesn't actually make a sound, it is glow-in-the-dark, and the hands and scales can be seen even at night.

The midnight bell strikes and is in people's hearts. It was an indescribable touch that made everyone here awake realize that this moment had come.

Fran couldn't help but say, "The current Scarlet Mountain Villa is so unfamiliar, not to mention that it is too different from when I lived here when I was a teenager, and even compared to when Ryan inherited the title a few years ago. What's the strange thing about this midnight bell ringing in my heart!?"

"Ignore these external distractions, let's do our thing, go to Ryan's study to get the Marquis' Seal, and then go to the control center to get the management of the entire mansion. ”

"Good. Fran looked at the puppets who had regrouped, and grew emboldened again.

Maria winked at Kane.

Kane knew that the job had been done. Yellow explosives are planted, and when needed, the West Wing will be blown to pieces.

Not only here, but Lincoln and Kennedy should have completed their task at this time, and most of the facilities in the East Side, explosives have been properly arranged.

This brings him to the results of his afternoon spell deconstruction of Crimson Villa. These secondary magic facilities, key points and other key positions have been mastered by him, and the main building is much more troublesome in comparison.

This is the main reason why he is enthusiastic about helping Fran get to power.

Walking back the same way, walking to the bridge corridor, the sound of rustling sounded in my ears.

When I saw the water marks on the window pane, I realized that it was starting to rain outside, and it was not small, but because of the sound-absorbing characteristics of the villa, it failed to attract people's attention in time.

A bolt of lightning suddenly lit up, shining through the window in the corridor, and on the other side of the guardhouse, a humanoid figure dressed in women's clothing appeared in the light, and disappeared with the end of the lightning.

'Quack!' the sound of thunder arrived, as if it was covered with a thick quilt, and it seemed a little distant.

"Ted, did you just see that?" asked Fran, looking ugly.

Kane replied, "I heard of a group of ghosts living freely at Hogwarts?"

"Uh... It does. ”

"The Marquis of Scarborough isn't a good place to be another Hogwarts, so I'll have to write a charter to prohibit this kind of soul-like stuff from roaming freely. ”

"......" Fran was embarrassed and scared.

Thinking about it rationally, at most it is just the evil advancement of ghosts, evil spirits, it is very dangerous, but if you want to talk about horror, in fact, it is not much horror, I learned relevant knowledge in school, and there are many ways to deal with them.

"Now, it's hard to even sleep at night. ”

Kane sighed and said, "Maybe we should also think about that ghost, the Marquis's Mansion is also full of dangers for it." ”

"Heh......" Fran was amused, and when he thought about it, it was really like this.

As an energy body, ghosts are easily blocked by force fields and energy curtains, which is the so-called penetrating matter, and it also depends on the specific material. Higher density consumes more energy, and if the energy absorption effect is good, it is even worse.

In short, if the ghost wants to do something, it will also have to pay a price, and in terms of universality, it is far inferior to people.

Most of the ghosts were trapped here, after all, the special nature of Crimson Villa made the outside environment even more dangerous for them.

After figuring it out, Fran felt a lot more relaxed.

What he didn't see, however, was that Kane was already signaling Maria to step up her guard.

What only appears in the light of lightning is not an ordinary ghost. This is in the East, called the Demon Soul, which can only be eliminated by the Heavenly Thunder, and even the Five Elements Thunder is not very afraid.

The demon soul is terrifying, but it is also terrifying, but it is also terrifying. In the same way, in the Oriental parlance, it is not a place of extinction, a pit of resentment and burial, and this evil is not born.

To put it bluntly, this place is very filthy and evil, and many people have died tragically here, and negative spiritual energy and various evil and distorted forces are pressed to ferment in a dark hotbed before an environment for the birth of demon souls will be formed. It is more evil than mass graves and mass graves.

Maybe this demon spirit is foreign?

Well, Kane also wants the truth to be so. But as soon as he thought of Charlotte's accomplices during the day, how happy they were after entering Scarlet Villa, and then thought about the pattern of the entrance to the 'Cherished Gate', he felt that the possibility of demon souls coming from outside was very low.

"I didn't expect it to be such a place, it's very nonsensical, not to mention pushing forward for hundreds of thousands of years, even now, there is not enough material for the mass grave! ”

Kane thought depressedly, and I have to say that he was slapped in the face by reality.

Those special yellow explosives are buried in vain, and this environment cannot be blasted by ordinary brute force, otherwise it will cause an alternative volcanic eruption, and then the Holy See will record that in the early morning of November 30, 1853, a fool used explosives to open the gates of hell......

Kane made a counterclockwise circular gesture, and Maria understood, shaking her sleeves, and a small earth dog appeared, silently turning away from the crowd to carry out a new order.

Ryan's study, on the fifth floor.

Above the fifth floor, it is an important place for ordinary visitors, and there is no elevator to pass directly, so you need to take stairs.

Security checks are naturally strict, but as long as there are no tower spirits, the fortress is always conquered from the inside.

Now, it's Fran who is the one who leads the way.

Through the bloodline identification, the road is basically unimpeded.

There is a concept of recognition rate involved here, not because the recognition rate of magic is low, nor is it because there is no high-end technology in this area in this world. But there is no intelligent housekeeping system, it is too delicate but easy to get out of the situation, and you are trapped, but other family members can't be rescued because of the ban and are close at hand, that's the pit.

When Kane and Fran break into the study, the activated armor guarding there activates on its own, making it look like they're not going to back down.

Fran took out the will, showed it to it, and read out his powers.

Kane, who was in the audience on the sidelines, said: "The time has come to test the basic lordship of the previous marquis. ”

The so-called basic ethics of the lord is the setting of the order of inheritance of power. For the ancient family, this matter is also above family affection.

In the immediate case, if Ryan is not qualified, then Panmira may know the secret and crack it, and the result is that sovereignty falls into the hands of the servant.

This is one of the most shameful things for a pure-blood wizard family with a long heritage.

The eyes of the helmet that revitalized the armor had red glows in the narrow slits, giving the impression that they were thinking. After a few moments, it knelt down on one knee to Fran and bowed its head.

This is pre-set, so that it has the ability to discriminate, not everyone who takes the will can come to ask for things.

After activating the armor, there are more complicated inspection procedures for opening the vault, including bloodline, questions, and voice recognition, and Fran, who has passed the approval of the vault, finally opens the vault, and the lord's seal letter is presented in front of him.

Kane touched the beard on his chin, looked at Fran with an excited face, and said in his heart, "It's simpler than I thought, and the responsibilities of the guardian of the family are not reflected." ”

He thought again: "Maybe it's not easy for the guardians of the Carrett family to just guard the forbidden things, and they don't have time to care about anything else. ”

Fran, who was confronted with the lord's seal, began to follow the instructions in the will.

The pure-blood wizard's family heirloom is not a worldly jade seal or something, but an ancient magic device, or utensil.

Bloodline entry, inheritance power, and information that only a marquis will know. For example, the storage place of the secret archive, the secrets of the family, and so on.

And crowns, scepters, seals, etc., are nothing more than ceremonial or office supplies, and are not particularly important.

As the certification ended, Fran placed his right hand on the crystal carved magic device, a magic ring condensed on his right index finger.

This is the symbol of the Marquis's power, the true Marquis' seal, and the qualification to control the various magical devices of Crimson Villa.

Standing in front of the vault and digesting the knowledge for a while, Fran began to reset the vault and the activated armor as a trusted marquis.

After completing it, he blessed himself with the ancestral blessing spell, and he felt a lot more steady.

Kane duly sent his blessings and applauded: "Congratulations, new Lord Marquis Scarborough, glory belongs to you, and may Carret's blood continue to live forever." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Wellingborough, for always being Scarborough's close companion. Please receive the blessings from the Carrett family. ”

As he spoke, Fran held out his right hand, and Kane stepped forward to shake it. "It is my pleasure and I, Ted Alston, will be loyal to our friendship. ”

As he spoke, Kane had an extra magic ring on the middle finger of his right hand, and the patterned floral ornament around the ring was from the Marquis's Palace, but the background color of the ring was blue, and there was an 'O' on it, representing the first letter of Auston.

This is the proof of the advanced privileges of the Users group, and Kane, wearing him, can go straight to the private study on the fifth floor without anyone's permission. Except for the most secret places, there was nothing he couldn't go to.

Kane said: "Next is the central control room. Then we can rest, and after dawn, we will go to see if the housekeeper, who does not sleep in the middle of the night, is trapped in some secret room. ”

When Fran heard this, he snorted with hatred: "Such punishments are light." ”......
