Volume 2: Why the Sun Shines Chapter 48: The Rite of Death (3)

No sooner had Francis disposed of the dry remains of the guards than he faintly heard sobs coming from the hall.

Looking for the source of the voice, I found out that it was the wife of the Grand Duke of Europa.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put the Black Gang Sword down, and said sympathetically, "You need to rest, Lady Europa. ”

When Mrs. Europa saw that she was discovered, she hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, collected her emotions and responded: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Francis, I am fine here." ”

Once Europa died, this thousand-year-old aristocratic family would gradually lose everything it had, because the only son died in childbirth, and even then the Grand Duke of Europa did not look for any other way.

No matter how long the glory is, it will pass away in the blink of an eye.

"Then why did you get out, it's very dangerous out there."

Francis found a seat and sat down, placed the Pfister double-barreled musket on it, and explained: "On duty, for with all due respect, Madame, your guards are of little use. ”

"You look calm."

Francis smiled, remembering the first monster he had solved at the Maisai Mansion.

Yes, Francis is very weird, he is never afraid.

But just then, a third scream rang out from a room in the hall, and a few seconds later a man fled in disarray, but as he ran, every pore of his body erupted into a constant swarm of rancid bees, and then within seconds it was a dry corpse.

When the vocal cords are dry and rotten, no matter how much the man howls, there is no sound at all.

It all happened so quickly that Francis didn't even have time to pick up the Pfister musket.

The third victim, Francis silently counted, three people lost their lives in three hours, and he estimated the speed.

If this estimate is not too bad, the number of guests in the mansion is barely enough for two days.

Seeing this, Madame Europa could no longer contain her emotions, so she hid her face and cried, "Oh my God...."

The hall was completely unsafe, and Francis raised his black sword and told Madame Europa, "Go to our room first, my lady and a bearded man will make sure you are not in danger for the time being." ”

As soon as Francis finished speaking, a burst of beautiful piano music suddenly came from upstairs, merging with the suffocating atmosphere of fear and despair in the mansion, and even the originally elegant classical music tended to be terrifyingly distorted.

There should have been no one upstairs, and absolutely no guests would dare to go up and play with the piano.

Francis urged Madame Europa not to hesitate: "Go quickly, Madame Europa, you don't have to die with the Grand Duke. ”

"And where are you going?"

Francis looked back as he walked out, and said with a calm smile, "That thing is showing off its piano skills, and I have to be that audience to see it." ”

With that, Francis turned his head, and the smile he had just used to appease Mrs. Europa vanished, and he quietly went upstairs alone with a black sword and a double-barreled musket to figure out the situation.

Crunch, Francis's footsteps were accompanied by the protest of the planks.

Dream back to the Messai Mansion, but this time it is even more dangerous, he doesn't have a moon house to hide and seek, he can only rely on his own alchemy transformation and weapons in his hands.

With each step Francis takes, the piano is played more rapidly, an improvisational rhapsody composed for him.

He felt the source of the piano's sound, and finally realized that it was the room of the Grand Duke of Europa.

There was nothing in the room, except for the body of the Archduke of Europa, which had been placed in place for further examination, but now the Church could not be expected to investigate.

The moment Francis walked to the door, the rhythm of the piano music finally reached its climax, and the rapid and heavy piano music merged with the fourth scream downstairs to usher in Francis's arrival.

Francis tilted his head and stared silently at the impossible in front of him;

The withered remains of the Archduke of Europa sat like a marionette at the piano, clumsily tapping every key of the piano with his withered fingers.

Kicking and staring at an extremely strange piano performance, it is hard to say that there will be no chills in the bottom of my heart.

Francis was about to curse in astonishment, when the 'Archduke of Europa' turned his head and stared at him with his completely empty eyes.

"Hell..."

Francis still made a rare swear word.

The Archduke of Europa was by no means extraordinary, much less a subspecies of vampires, and Francis found it difficult for him to find the right words to describe the Archduke in front of him.

The 'Grand Duke of Europa' shook to his feet and stopped playing piano music, hunched over his neck and began to whisper something with his 'mouth', which had completely withered into a black hole.

The sound was as unpleasant as pulling a plank with a saw;

"Europa... May Valentina... Francis Messiah... Alice Hepburn... Solomon Brendall"

This happens to be all the names of Francis's party except for the Archduke of Europa.

Francis remained calm, and he was going to take advantage of this one chance, perhaps the only one, that was so close to the people behind the scenes:

"What are you talking about, death list?"

As soon as Francis spoke, the 'Grand Duke of Europa' began to stretch out his hands forward, slowly groping in the direction of Francis, his mouth still repeating what he had just said.

Francis was silent, picked up the black sword, and began to wrestle with it.

But something strange happened, and when Francis stopped making a sound, the Grand Duke of 'Europa' began to wander around like a blind man touching an elephant.

"Here."

When an idea popped into Francis's mind, he said it briefly.

It was no different from just now, and immediately pounced on him, but after a moment of silence, he wandered stupidly in place.

Understood, Francis thought, and he was enlightened for a moment.

This guy is blind!

A marionette with nothing in his eye sockets, of course, was blind, and Francis patted himself on the head, he should have understood that the dry remains were worse than the greedy demon bird's eyesight in the dark.

Darkness is really a reliable friend, and has helped Francis survive the sight problem many times.

After Francis had figured it out, he looked up and said;

"You can't see me, but you want to find me, right?"

He's talking to the guy on the other side.

"I was still struggling with whether or not I was really a vampire with a big appetite, but now I understand that you are here for us, and that vampires are just a clumsy faΓ§ade."

"Maybe there's a possibility, my guess. You know our names, our voices, but you just don't know which of these guests is we. ”

Francis took the black sword, spread his arms and continued: "Your solution is to exhaust the method, try to kill the people here one by one, so that you will always find us." ”

After saying that Francis said sorry in his heart, he lifted the black sword and stabbed the blade into the chest of the 'Grand Duke of Europa' in an instant, and then hung it and continued to sprint, and finally hung the 'Grand Duke of Europa' firmly on the wall.

Then he said loudly into the ears of the dry remains: "Guess what, you should be in the guest group too, let's play a competition, no better than whoever plays the piano, let's see who finds who first." ”
