The next day, the Houhai area of Akneids.

Peter's chocobo cart stopped at the entrance to a residential area near the sea.

"Sir, that's all I can do for you. The people living on the mountain in front are rich and noble, and there is traffic control, and ordinary vehicles are not allowed to enter..."

"Let's go down here, then."

After paying, Peter took his newly purchased sword, got out of the car and began walking.

Ahead is a hill that stretches for miles, with the gentle side connected to the sea, facing east and west.

Surrounded by lush hills, villas spread across an area of land, private gardens and outdoor swimming pools are everywhere. A basalt-paved road for six horses winds its way through the mountains, lined with tall and strange ancient southern trees and precious flowers collected from all over the world.

Before it gets dark, the lights are on, and at sunset, the waves crash against the shore, and the huge sunset half-sinks at the end of the view, dyeing the whole sky a magnificent orange-red. The golden waves on the sea level are like a link, connecting the fiery clouds on the horizon with the golden mansions on the hillside, magnificent and shocking.

Looking at the sunset over the sea facing the hillside, Peter sighed, "If you can live in here, you won't be hung by a street lamp ten times." ”

Peter followed the wide, exaggerated path toward the mountain.

The sea breeze is filled with the faint scent of flowers, and there are almost no pedestrians along the way. This little-traveled pedestrian path is also paved with elaborate kiln bricks, and it is worthy of being the most expensive area of the wealthy in Acneiz.

Houhai Hill is sandwiched between the inner city and the outer city, and you can reach the Qianhai District of the inner city by crossing it. It is one of the best places to see the sea in the whole city, but it is monopolized by private individuals and civilians are not allowed to enter at will.

Anyone who can own a property in the hills of Houshan is either rich or expensive, and the largest manor house on the top of the hills of Houhai Hill is the home of the Earl of Cavendish.

After walking for about ten minutes, Peter came to a huge arch halfway up the mountain, through which he could see the mansion hidden in the forest.

But there is a sentry box under the arch, like a security room at the gate of the community.

When the men inside saw someone approaching, they immediately stepped out of two police officers armed with flintlock pistols and stopped Peter.

"What are you doing?"

This is not a security guard, they are wearing regular police uniforms, with the police badge of the Ron Kingdom pinned to their shoulders, they are tall and burly, and they even have the resolute temperament of soldiers.

"Adventurer, take this mission to crusade against evil spirits."

The officer glanced at Peter, cloak, leather armor, a very old sword, and the standard adventurer old brother dress.

"Called by the Earl of Cavendish's house?" He had also heard of the evil spirits in the Earl's house.

"Yes, my name is Peter."

The officer motioned for his companion to contact him, and he proceeded to investigate.

"ID card, adventurer's license, and guild's mission contract all show me."

“.........”

Peter was speechless, so strict?

"I lost my ID card, I didn't bring my license, and the mission contract is in the hands of my companion."

The officer's eyelids twitched, no need to check it, this is really an adventurer brother.

That's what the gang of ruffian adventurers in the city looks like.

Selling ID cards to others to engage in fraud, money laundering, and smuggling. As soon as it is sold, it will be reissued, and it will be sold after the reapplication, which is pure and stable income. When they encountered an interrogation, they said that they had lost their ID cards, and the police couldn't do anything to them, and their faces were exactly the same as the person in front of them.

Would the Earl's family look for such a thing to get rid of the spirit?

Suspicious.

The officer's gaze was not good.

"Lost? That's waiting here. If the Earl's family hadn't invited you, you'd spend the night in prison tonight. ”

Peter shrugged, whatever you want.

Unexpectedly, after a while, a carriage came from the mountain at a gallop and stopped in front of the arch.

The car door opened, and a silver-haired old man in a suit and vest jumped out of the car, and he hurried to the entrance of the sentry box and looked around.

The police officer was startled, and hurriedly trotted over and took off his hat to salute:

"Good evening, Lord Frey. How can I help you? ”

There were not many nobles in the Kingdom of Ron, two dukes, five marquises, and more than thirty counts. Almost all of them are after the founding feats, and they are all resounding. And the meticulous old man in front of him with his silver hair combed was none other than the butler of the Earl of Cavendish and a figure who could be on an equal footing with the chief of police.

"What about Mr. Peter?" Frey asked solemnly.

"Huh? This... Peter, which one is Peter..."

The police officer stammered, was that old brother really found him just now?

Peter walked in slowly from outside the arch and said hello.

"Hello, I'm Peter."

Frey was stunned.

The tattered young man in front of him is a platinum-level adventurer?

But he hesitated for a moment, after all, he had been introduced by the top Hogwarts students, and he trusted the reputation of that school.

Frey enthusiastically stretched out his hand and said with a smile:

"I am the butler of the Earl of Cavendish Court, and you may call me old Frey."

Peter reached out and shook his hand, walked past the dumb officer, and got into the richly decorated carriage with Frey.

"Finally, I waited for you, and the Earl will be back in Arknaise in three days, but there are ghosts entrenched in the house, which really makes it difficult for me to sleep... Let's get in the car first, Mr. Harry is already waiting at the top of the mountain. ”

This old man is so deeply cultivated, he didn't despise himself because of his dress.

Peter couldn't help but change his opinion of the aristocracy of this world a little.

The carriage drove on the smooth road, and there was not the slightest bump, and the wide and fluffy sofa seats were far from being as comfortable as the Chocobo car, and even better than the commercial cars on earth.

"Mr. Peter, I will leave the crusade against evil spirits to you."

Frey's expression was a little anxious.

“... I'll do my best, if it's just an ordinary ghost, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

"Hey.... In the fifteen years of this old house, basically no one has lived in it, but I didn't expect to be called home by evil spirits. ”

Frey reproached himself and said:

"It's all my negligence, I should have arranged for a security guard to be stationed here."

"I don't know who this evil spirit was when he was alive, three batches of silver adventurers have been defeated by him, and there is even a five-person adventure group... I looked for another major from the military, but I didn't expect to be defeated. ”

Peter frowned, and sure enough, there was something strange about it.

"What strength is that major?"

"Last year, Captain Ron won the tenth place in the competition, which is not inferior to ordinary golden adventurers... As you know, it's not easy to find powerful adventurers in Aknez City, and after hearing that the school official was defeated, no one dared to take on this task. ”

"It will take at least a week to transfer a master from another city, but the Earl will be back soon... Hey, it's good to have you and Mr. Harry, otherwise the Earl would have returned to his hometown, but his hometown would have been occupied by evil spirits, and I really wouldn't have the shame to face her..."

As he spoke, the carriage reached the top of the hill, and the outline of the manor appeared at the end of the road.

The sun has set, and the street lights are lit up one after another, but for some reason, there is no light on the top of the entire Houhai hill, and the surrounding street lights seem to be broken, and none of them are on.

When the carriage had approached, the horses pulling the cart did not seem to dare to take any further steps, and only paced uneasily, no matter how much the coachman whipped them.

"This is obviously a military horse, but I don't know what's going on recently, and I won't go forward when I get to the door, I'm afraid it's also because of the evil spirit..."

"It's okay, you guys can get here, I'll walk over."

Peter got out of the car directly, looked at the dark manor in front of him, and frowned.

"Where's Harry?"

"Here."

Coldly, Harry's voice came from the side.

Peter turned his head, Rao is psychologically strong, and he was also frightened to take two steps back.

“...... it! ”

A heavy armor made of steel stood silently beside him.
