After arranging a qiē, Red and Erin turned to leave, and then Leon would take the others to a small town in the southeast, where they would wait for Kaka's message and the arrival of the other companions before deciding whether to enter the Black Forest.

Leon watched the two leave, then walked up to the top of the hill and saw Fiona standing not far away, looking up at the starry sky, and from his point of view, the back of the vampire girl in the night was slightly lonely.

Leon walked over and said, "Let's go." ”

"Done whispering?" asked the girl, turning her head and grinning.

Even though she had been with Fiona for a while, her movements and expressions at this moment still amazed the young man, and Leon coughed and said, "Sort of." ”

"Let's go," Fiona's expression smug "and head east to the Black Forest?"

"No, let's go southeast, there's a small town in that direction, rest for a day and wait until the people are together. ”

"Whatever you want," said Fiona disapprehantly, "I said I would listen to you this time." ”

Leon motioned to the knight girl holding Sophia and Melissa who was hiding on the side, and then took the lead and headed towards the southeast destination.

They were fast, and from midnight to the time the sun poured light and warmth over the land, a patch of architecture appeared in sight.

From a distance, the town is small, less than half the size of Locketown, and is estimated to have a population of only a few hundred at most, but the town has a good name, "Sunshine Town", because it is located on the easternmost side of Campbell. Every day at sunrise, the first rays of sunlight that fall on Campbell shine over the town.

That's where Leon was supposed to be, at the same time. Daylight is where his grandfather, Darren, grew up. When he decided to head east, Leon immediately thought of this town, where his grandfather used to live was located in the southwest corner, and the secret room was in the basement of the house.

Since I dropped by, I was able to fulfill this wish.

However, since his grandfather never wanted others to know about the existence of this former residence, Leon didn't want to go against his will when his grandfather died, so he separated from Caterina and them at the entrance of the town in advance. The girls went to the tavern in town on their own, while he himself took a turn, relying on the route that Darren had specially told him to remember. Embark on a large road that spans Nikko Town.

It is said that it is a big road, but in fact, the width can only be at most five people in parallel, or it has just accommodated an ordinary carriage, and the stone slabs on the ground are also cracked. Some of the slabs had long since broken into several pieces. Stuck in the dirt that is not very compact, it looks uneven.

At this time, there were very few people walking on the road, and these people passed by Leon without looking, which made the young man a little puzzled.

According to my grandfather's description, the town was located in a rather remote area, so there were few outsiders who came and went, and they were all ordinary people who had lived here for generations, and they knew each other very well. In such an environment, if you see a stranger appearing. The people in the town should have had some reaction, but they didn't seem to pay much attention to their own savings.

Although doubtful. But this was exactly what Leon wanted, and he made a few detours, and soon the two-story hut that his grandfather had brought up many times appeared in front of him.

At this time, there happened to be a few people passing by, and Leon deliberately took a few more steps forward, and when there was finally no one around, he immediately retreated, and flashed to the shadows under the eaves as fast as he could.

The young man sensed it again, and made sure that no one would appear around him anytime soon, and then walked to a window facing the street.

The key to the house was originally in a certain room in the castle, but now it has long been missing, so Leon has no key first, and the window must have been locked. So he thought about it for no more than a few seconds, drew his long sword and thrust it hard along the gap at the bottom of the window, and with a "click", the window opened in response.

Although it was his grandfather's house, Leon always felt strange when he did this, and he immediately held the edge of the window up and disappeared in place.

The place where he settled was the living room on the first floor, there was not much furniture here, it looked empty, he looked at all the rooms upstairs and downstairs as quickly as he could, and there was nothing of value to find, it seemed that the things left by his grandfather should be in the secret room.

He came to the back of the staircase, and sure enough, there was a narrow staircase leading to the basement, and at the end was a wooden door, although it was very old, but when it was pushed open, it was quite smooth, and there was no expected creak, it must have been repaired every time my grandfather came, so it was so well maintained.

The basement was rather dark, but that didn't matter to Leon, who walked straight to the end and looked at the door in front of him.

In his mind, the Chamber of Secrets was supposed to be extremely secretive, and could only be discovered if triggered by a mechanism, or it had a fairly strong portal that could only be opened by appropriate means, but ...... The secret room that my grandfather told me not to leak to outsiders was only this thin wooden door?

Leon felt that he couldn't understand his grandfather's thoughts.

At this time, a memory appeared in his mind, when Darren called Leon to his room alone with unusually strict sù, and then told him the storage of the secret room, in which one sentence said: "You are only qualified to enter the old house when I die, otherwise you will not be able to find my secret room even if you steal it yourself." ”

“...... Doesn't that prove that the Chamber of Secrets is quite hidden? or ...... Actually, the mechanism is on this simple door, and if I push it, I'll find another door?"

Leon shook his head and tried to push the wooden door, but the fact was unexpected again, the wooden door was pushed open directly, revealing a small space behind it.

The young man was a little disappointed, such an unguarded "secret room" was like a joke played by his grandfather and him, but such a strict and old-fashioned old man could also do such a thing?

Leon didn't believe it, so he walked in slowly, stepping into the room where he could see everything at a glance.

But at this moment, a burst of light and shadow appeared in front of his eyes, and Li Ang immediately took a step back and raised his guard.

The light and shadow gradually brightened and distorted to an unbelievable level, and then there was a fluctuation of "buzz" in an instant, and then a person appeared in front of Leon.

It turned out to be his late grandfather, Darren Redfield!

Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, because he had already seen that this was just an image caused by some kind of device or magic effect, not to mention that even if he took 10,000 steps back, even if Darren really came back to life here like a lich, he would not have any ill will towards him, a direct blood relative.

"Leon, you're finally here," Darren's voice sounded in the secret room, and if nothing else was considered, Darren at this time looked and sounded like an old earl coming back to life.

"Yes, grandfather, I'm coming, you're ...... What's the situation?" said Li Ang, who took a deep breath and looked directly at the other party.

"Good boy...... You're not dead," Darren's expression looked a little emotional, and his voice became muffled. However, his words were completely like talking to himself, and he did not directly respond to Li Ang's question at all.

Leon didn't continue to ask, because he suddenly had a hunch that this was a means used by his grandfather to guard the secret room, and every word he said now was predetermined in advance, and there was no way to really communicate with him.

However, even if he could communicate with his grandfather, Leon didn't know what to say, this old man had only been stored in his memory, or appeared in other people's descriptions, this was the first time he had really seen it, what could he say in the face of a "grandfather" from another world?

"You should be able to see that I'm just an image," Darren didn't intend to wait for Leon's response, and said directly, and this sentence also proved Leon's conjecture.

"This is a mechanism that I asked my friend to set up, so you don't need to be happy or panic," the lines on the old earl's face were unusually soft, and his expression was a little dazed, but it quickly returned to normal, and you could see the door to the secret room, which proved that I was really dead. “

"Because it's only after I'm dead that the door to the chamber really appears, and only you or your father can walk directly into it, or any outsider will ruin this place. ”

"Because here are all the things left for you, and all my own past experiences, and no one deserves them except you. ”

"Well, the time is almost up," said the old earl, who seemed to sigh lightly, "and now I will say one last thing, there is an iron box under the bed next to it, which contains some secrets, which must be a heavy burden to you, and if you have faith, you can open it yourself, or else...... You can just press the red switch on the box and it will self-destruct quickly. ”

Speaking of this, Darren raised his head and looked straight ahead, his gaze seemed to be looking at Leon in front of him, and he could see the helplessness and heaviness contained in his eyes.

"Actually, I want you to choose to destroy it, because I've borne it for too long and fought against them for too long...... I don't want you to follow my path again. ”

"But in the end, I kept it, because I have made too many choices for you, whether you want it or not, so this time put the power in your hands, and the rest of the choices are up to you. ”

"Finally, may you live happily and love your Darren. ”

After saying this, the old man's image began to fade and fade, and finally faded away, plunging the entire secret room into lightless darkness again. Then there were a few places in the darkness that lit up, and it was the oil lamps on the walls around it, which spontaneously ignited and lit up the chamber again. (To be continued......)
