The white light on the two-handed cross sword was already dense and close to substance, as if it was burning with milky white flames.

Although Lilia didn't know the mystery, she also understood that the glow on the sword must be because of this monster, and obviously this monster was also afraid of this sword, when she just slashed the monster's arm, it was like cutting a cake, and it also made the place where it was touched by the sword appeared scorched black marks by fire, if she hadn't been in a hurry when she caught up, then she could even directly cut off one of the monster's arms.

This discovery gave her the confidence to fight the monster at once.

There was a constant sound in the shadows, and it was clear that the monster had not given up attacking the students, but fearing the power of the crosssword in Lilia's hand, had hidden in the shadows and watched them, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Lilia waited solemnly, performing the best sword form she had learned, not daring to relax in the slightest, and then stepped back in small slow but steady steps.

Until she retreated into the passage, the monster did not show up to attack.

Back in the passageway, Lilia took a quick glance around, and found that Hammer and Stoffer, who had been among the six, were gone, and they didn't know where they had gone, only Anatis, Belindeen, and Pomorro were still there.

Seeing Lilia's eyes, Belin Dean smiled bitterly and said, "If you die, we won't be able to run far, and now we will only be safe by your side." ”

The other two looked in agreement.

Lilia nodded, then said, "Let's go in the other direction of the front corner, I'll walk at the back to guard against the monster, and Pomorro will lead the way." ”

The three of them did not have any disagreement about Lilia's arrangement, and immediately started acting according to Lilia's words.

Lilia walked at the back, looking at the light that began to fade from the cross sword in her hand.

After that, along the way, the light on the cross sword flickered and dimmed, and it never went out, obviously although the monster did not dare to rush over to attack, it did not give up, and always fell behind the group looking for an opportunity.

Although there was no fight, Lilia's nerves were tightened, which made her more tired than a face-to-face fight, but she had to hold on.

Fortunately, before her limit arrived, this seemingly endless passage finally came to an end.

After Lilia breaks the lock with her sword, they open the iron door and enter the back room.

This is a large room similar to a living room at home, which is completely large enough to hold a party of hundreds of people, with all kinds of sofas, tables and chairs and other furniture, and the chandelier on the top is covered with thick dust, but it can still be seen in a vague luxury style. In particular, the large windows on both sides of the standing ground, obviously in the underground without light, but emitting an orange-red light, as if it is the color of the setting sun, dyeing the room translucent, leaning over to look carefully only to find that these windows are carved with some kind of orange-red luminous crystal, although the students do not recognize what variety, but the value is certainly very high.

After the four of them entered the room, under the command of Lilia, they immediately pushed some heavy furniture to the door, firmly blocked the door, and then found a chair and sofa to sit down regardless of the image, regardless of the dust accumulated on it.

Lilia sat down and breathed for a while, then looked down at the cross sword in her hand, the light on the sword began to dim, and it didn't take long for it to disappear completely, changing back to its original appearance, and it was estimated that the monster that was following them had disappeared for some reason.

"Where is this?" Anatis stretched his injured leg on the soft sofa, and suddenly felt comfortable, and then reacted to the sound of a little**, blushing and looking around, and then casually asked a question to divert his gaze.

"This is the Shadow House. ”

It was Boromo who gave the answer, and when he saw that everyone else was looking at him, he continued to explain: "The Shadow House is relative to the main house, that is, a secret house that is the same as the usual residence, and is usually built under the house or between the cliffs and dense forests, and it is a place for nobles to take refuge in the event of an irresistible accident, and my family has one. ”

The three daughters suddenly realized that this was probably one of the most important secrets of the aristocratic family, and it was no wonder that they were commoners who didn't know about it.

"Can I get out of here?" asked Lilia.

"Of course. Boromo nodded, "This is the last hiding place of the nobles, and there must be a passage to the outside world connected here, and there may be more than one." ”

"Great. ”

Hearing Boromo's words, everyone was in good spirits.

"Let's look for it, usually this kind of entrance mechanism will be set up on the bookshelf, window sill, behind the portrait, etc., if you see something that feels a little special, it may be ......."

Before Boromo could finish speaking, everyone stood up and separated to find the location of the mechanism, and even Anatis dragged her injured leg around the window to the side to take a closer look, not caring about the physical exhaustion.

In a near-rummaging search, Lilia soon had a catch, but not an entrance, but a diary.

The diary was hidden in a hidden compartment on the bookshelf, and if it weren't for the obvious difference between the dust and the neighborhood, she wouldn't have found it for a while.

Lilia thought it might be valuable, but the rest of the people's minds were so focused on finding the secret passage that they weren't interested in reading the notebook.

Lilia continued to search the vicinity, and after confirming that there was no passage mechanism, she thought about it, pulled a chair and sat down, wiped the dust off the notebook, and carefully turned the first page.

“...... On the 3rd of July, I was 10 years old, my mom gave me a very beautiful dress, and my dad gave me George, and I was so happy that I decided to start writing in a diary......"

Is this a little girl's diary?

The thought crossed Lilia's mind, and she continued to flip through the pages behind her.

Sure enough, the life of the girl who wrote a diary from the age of ten to sixteen is recorded in the back.

Just when Lilia felt that the diary might really be worthless and was about to give up, what followed caught her eye.

"I was very sad that George died in childbirth, but luckily his baby was saved, it was a little mare with black spots, and I decided to name him Little George......"

"Uncle Bynes has returned, and it is said that he has gone to a faraway country and lived a very thrilling adventure, and he has been telling us about his adventures and fighting with the murderous natives all these days, and it is really desirable that I want to be such an adventurer. By the way, Uncle Bynes also gave me a strange wooden mask, but I don't think it's wood, it's so hard and black, it looks like a piece of iron, it's weird......"

This is followed by a series of torn pages, and there is no rest until much later.

“...... I'm angry, Bobby dares to do this to me, I must retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, I think about it, by the way, that wooden mask that Uncle gave me must be terrible to wear, and if I get some blood, I will definitely scare that coward to death......"

“...... It hurts, what the hell is this mask? Needles come out of the blood when it's stained, my head hurts, shouldn't it be disfigured......"

Fragments, unreadable.

“...... I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, why is dinner so bad, like gravel, no, Mom and Dad eat so good, that's my problem?"

“...... I can't take it anymore, little George, I'm sorry, but I can't help it......"

“...... They can't go on like this, they've been on guard, and although they think that some beasts from elsewhere have invaded the manor, resulting in the death of so many animals, I'll definitely be found if it goes on like this. I'm going to hold back...... No, I can't stand it anymore, it's so uncomfortable, I'd rather die like this......"

"Oh my God, how can this be! I slit my wrist, but it was restored in a few seconds, is this really a curse? Is it a gift?"

Fragments, unreadable.

"I can't believe I killed him, but the hot blood is so delicious, I can't help it......"

Fragments.

“...... It hurts, why do I get burned when I touch Uncle Eldråran's sword, my perfect skin is so damaged, it's unforgivable!"

"It makes my heart delight to see Uncle Eldran being buried, and that abominable sword, and the holy sword that the Holy See has been rewarded, to rust in this dark underground. ”

"Recently, my sleep has been getting longer and longer, and they all say that sleep is good for skin beauty, and I also think that this is indeed the case, and it is much smoother, and I will sleep more in the future......"

"I hate the sun, I want to build a big underground palace, and I hide in it every day to sleep, I decided, now I will go to Ai Bo to arrange ......"

“...... It's strange how every time I wake up, there are so many fewer people in the castle, and I don't seem to wake up in the right place. Hey, my memory seems to be a little bad, I can't remember a lot of things, where are my parents? Could it be that I have some disease? But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm still so beautiful, no, I'm so sleepy, I have to go back to the dungeon to sleep......"

This concludes the diary.

Although there were many things she didn't know yet, Lilia had a thrilling feeling that she had grasped some important clue.

But at that moment, she suddenly felt something grab her shoulder.
