Chapter 44: The Vanishing Corpse

Dearlando raised his hand and stabbed his sword into the rock next to him, rubbing most of the liquid that had adhered to it, and then rubbed it back and forth on the oilcloth hanging on the side a few times, finally wiping the thing off. The tip of the sword was a faint black at the moment, and there were some shallow scars, like pockmarks.

"It's horrible corrosiveness!" said Holm, holding the lamp as he walked over to Dearlandor. But when he looked closer, he kicked something under his feet, and made a loud clang, startling himself.

Looking down, there was a huge oil jug. The bronze oblate oil pot fell to the ground, and most of the oil in it had already been spilled, because of the impact, and the only remaining ones were gurgling out.

"It looks like Dom was killed while refueling the lamp...... He was a poor widower, with no relatives and a withdrawn temperament. If it weren't for us, I don't know how long it would have been before anyone found out that he was gone. ”

Holm stooped down to pick up the oil pot, hung it on the hook on the wall, and wiped off a small puddle of gauze from the ground with the gauze next to it and put it in the lead bucket on the side. But the oil had seeped into the masonry, and Holm could only pray that there would be no danger of fire.

"May he rest in peace. Dearlando sighed, then took the usual maintenance hook and wrench from the tool rack on the nearby wall and began to try to remove the calloon. The two thick and heavy iron objects, although they were also corroded, sizzled, but soon the small hole cut by the sword was completely opened.

The suffocating smell of rancid acid fills the air......

(It's like fish guts that have rotted for a few days, plus sour bread with the smell of bed bugs, and then magnified a thousand times...... Diarlando remembered what the wolf had described before, wasn't that what it tasted like?

Inside the cocoon were two skulls that appeared to be humanoids, and a swollen pustule extending out of a vessel-like thing connected the two skulls. Dearlando's previous sword stabbed right on this pustule, and the pustule that had been held down at the moment was obviously losing its vitality, and those vascular-like things were drying out and falling off the two skulls.

Holm covered his nose and said with a pale face, "Your Highness, will there be other places in the castle?

Diarrando said with a solemn face: "No...... I'm afraid you'll have to tell your father right away, and if there were any other places, there would be more innocent deaths. As soon as we get out, we are to inspect the whole fort and turn everything that might be hidden. ”

As he spoke, he continued to peel off the cocoon on his hands, and the two heads were peeled from the cocoon, hooked with hooks, and carefully placed on the tarpaulin where he had just wiped his sword. However, the lump was still hanging from the calloon, and several thicker veins-like things had penetrated deep into the water pipe.

"Tsk...... Damn, I'm worried about this!" Diarlando carefully grabbed the veins with his hook and pulled them out. With his gentle force, the longer and longer veins were pulled out, and the thing was white and the thickness of a little finger, there were four in total, and the longest was more than three feet long.

As soon as these things were pumped out, the small hole in the water pipe began to spray clean groundwater, and Holm quickly found a rag to plug the hole. He was doused with some water on his face, and asked worriedly, "This water pipe leads to all the living places in the main building...... We washed our faces and bathed every day and even drank water ......"

Holm shuddered, and couldn't say any more, what if this thing had infected the people of the castle? He looked at the horrible corpse underground, and the gray-white filaments that had lost their vitality were stuck on Dom's body, as if countless white hairs had grown from the man's body.

"Let's go out at once, and you should report this to your father. He should know the seriousness of the matter after reading this, I went to someone and asked if there was a way to check if a person was infected, and until I found a way, you don't say that I found this with you. ”

With that, Dearlando asked Ryses to check the room again to see if there was anything missing. That's when Holm really noticed this unusual little lizard that squirted all the white silk to death in one bite.

"Is this little lizard His Highness's magical pet?" Holm couldn't help but ask, watching the finger-length white thing float around the small pump room.

The next second, the white "little lizard" snapped onto his nose and hissed angrily.

Holm fell backwards in fright, almost falling off the patio, but luckily Diarlandor jumped over, grabbed him by the collar, and grabbed the "little lizard" back.

"You're so rude! This is the hatchling of the great Starlight Riess. Dearlandor solemnly held the young dragon in the palm of his hand and introduced the frightened Holm. "It stands to reason that you should bow down at its feet and ask it to grant you the highest glory, as you usually do in the prayer hall. ”

“...... Me, I...... It...... You ......" Holm was suddenly incoherent by the shocking and terrifying truth, and could not utter a complete sentence for a long time. Zuihou still knelt down and bowed his head to the young dragon to apologize.

Diarlando rolled his eyes, and wordlessly pulled the papaya-headed young city lord up and said, "Come on, don't be so exaggerated!" Ryses is just not satisfied with your description of it, just apologize, let's go out and inform your father quickly. ”

Reeth was satisfied with Holm's sincerity, and nodded in approval. Then he glared at Deirlando, dissatisfied, protesting against his word "casual daoqian". Dearlando gave Ryeth an apologetic smile in an insincere manner, then tucked it back into the box and began to return along the path of wishes.

Holm also hurriedly followed, and asked as he crawled, "Then is the Jihua who secretly changed the ring at night canceled like this?"

"If something like this happens, will your father get married tomorrow as usual?" asked Dearlandor rhetorically.

"That's right, if the whole city is inspected, even if everyone is dispatched, it will take at least two or three days. Holm nodded, secretly happy in his heart, if he could catch Miss Pis's feet, his father would be freed from witchcraft.

As he emerged from the side of the sacred pool of prayer hall, Holm couldn't help but look at the legendary portrait of the seven-headed dragon of the goddess Mona hanging on the four walls. On the old canvas, the mineral pigments have not faded much, but they have also dimmed a lot. Among all the dragons, the pure white one with four wings is the great dragon god who assisted the King of Light in founding the country thousands of years ago, the Starlight Dragon.

It was an old legend, and Holm had never thought he would see the legendary dragon today! well, even if it was a baby dragon.

"Hey, don't get so excited, if you can't keep it a secret, I can only choose ......" Diarlando saw Holm's thoughts, put on a cold face, and swiped his finger on his neck, making a murderous gesture.

Holm was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed slightly: "Your Highness, I know you are a good person." I will keep it a secret, and I will not tell your secret in death. ”

"Okay, you go find your father, I'll go to the kitchen to get something to eat, and when it gets into trouble, I guess there won't be much time to eat." Diarlando raised his eyebrows and smiled, then opened the door to the prayer hall and looked left and right.

"You have to be careful not to talk too much, just talk about the corpses and monsters you found, don't identify the demon girl now. With that, Dearrando slipped out of the half-open door.

Holm waited a little, organized the contents in his head, and figured out what to say before leaving the prayer hall. He followed a different path than when he came, and went straight from the left annex through the cloister to the main building. It was almost time for dinner, but at the moment the servants were still in a hurry to arrange and clean.

He caught a few people along the way, but he didn't know where his father was, and the first person Zuihou found was the Knight of Angsai. The bearded knight, who was sweating profusely and had completely disregarded his image, and had only taken off an open shirt, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Holm was in a hurry.

"Young Master Holm, what are you so anxious to find Lord Earl? He is busy today, I guess he is either supervising the work in the Great Prayer Hall at the moment, or he is in the study to observe the wedding. ”

"Uncle Luda, I found Dom's body in the pump room of the water room, there are monsters in the city! Holm anxiously summarized the situation, and when the knight of Angsai heard this, his face immediately changed, and he pulled Holm aside and asked, "Is this true?"

"It must be true! It was in the transit water room on the second floor of the left annex building, and as soon as I found out, I turned back to my father. Seeing that he did not believe him, Holm immediately explained where the body was and told him to see it.

The knight wiped his sweat and said, "Okay, I'll go and see, have you gone to your mother's room? Maybe your father is there." ”

Holm froze suddenly, looking for so many places on his own, but it never occurred to him that his father might be in the room left by his mother, which had the most beautiful view in the whole castle, and even a balcony planted with flowers and plants outside. Of course, since my mother's death, that room hasn't been opened for many years.

As he hurried up to the fourth floor and ran to the room at the far right, he found that the door had been closed for a long time, and his father's lonely figure stood among the furniture covered with white cotton, looking thoughtfully at the Ring of Gruder in his hand.

Seeing Holm rushing in without knocking on the door, the original tenderness and loneliness on the count's face was immediately replaced by a stereotypical mask, and he loudly reprimanded Holm for his rudeness.

However, what Holm said next made Count Grude immediately nervous. He hurriedly left his dead wife's room with Home, gathered the guards along the way, and soon a group of more than ten elite soldiers followed him to the annex building.

When they arrived at the prayer hall, the knight of Angsai was panting and crawling out of a hole in the floor when a guard helped pull him out.

Seeing the knight of Angsai, Holm immediately took two steps forward and asked, "Uncle Luda, did you see the corpse, and the monster and the two skulls?"

The knight of Angsai climbed out, took a few breaths, wiped the sweat on his head and spoke: "Young Master Home, you are too mischievous! My old man can't bear it, there is nothing in it, is it easy for you to let me drill such a small hole?"
