Verse 69 door-to-door

Xingke tapped lightly with his hand, and the magic lamp immediately lit up. Hoshimi knocked it with his hand, and the light went out.

"It's really amazing...... the two sisters lay on the bed, chattering and discussing, carefully studying this magical prop. This wonderful lamp came from the church—many people have seen or heard of such a thing, but only a true nobleman could have put such a thing in his own home.

This is one of the things that Dix sent to pay off his debts, and it is an ancestral treasure of their family. Two days earlier, Sir Dix had returned from a trip and was not surprised to learn about this year's Jockey Club – that his Swift, which would not have been raced at all, had won the race under the ride of Eshurufat.

Dicks, who thought he had been deceived, came to the door angrily to ask the teacher. The two men sat in the secret room and talked for a long time, several times so loud that the two sisters outside could hear them clearly. But in the end, things finally came to a compromise - Dix used a piece of real estate, a few ancestral treasures, and about 6,000 gold o'clock in cash to buy back "Swift".

"It's incredible. Xingke tapped the magic lamp with his hand again, and the lamp immediately lit up, illuminating the room as bright as day. Although the actual age of the two sisters is no longer "girly", they are as happy as little girls now. "One day we'll be able to see these lights. She sighed a little. When they were in the church college, they had been exposed to the lamp more than once. But there is definitely no such thing as now, where such a precious item is kept at the bedside to enjoy. Only high-ranking priests could use this item.

The lamp was made by the Church—but nowadays, I'm afraid even the supreme archbishop doesn't know how to make it. It is important to know that since the city of Orren was captured and severely damaged by the Greenskins, many of the secret crafts of the church have been lost. However, the two sisters knew that this was not true—there had never been—or never—there had never been a craftsman in the Church who could make these bizarre objects long before Oren was destroyed by the Greenskins. No one can tell where these things came from, as if they had fallen from the sky. At the beginning, the Church had many of these precious objects, which were used as a useful weapon for proselytizing and expanding its influence, and it melted a lot of "ice" with them. But as time goes on, there are fewer and fewer such things that can be circulated in the market.

"It's really bright. Hoshimi said. The brightness of the magic lamp is not comparable to that of a candle, and if you stare at it for too long, it will even make your eyes glaze.

A commotion came from outside the window. The two sisters looked at each other, and when they went to the window and looked out, they saw at first glance a carriage - a carriage they were familiar with, and it was Ace's.

At this moment, Ace had already stepped out of the carriage. Not only that, but she also saw the two sisters standing at the window, raising their hands to greet them.

In this case, the two sisters have no second choice at all. After a short while, Ace arrived at the castle. The two sisters, in the posture of their masters, first took Ace around the castle. It was more of a habit than a need, because a sociable woman like Ace would not come to the castle once or twice.

"Oh, it's really amazing. After the two sisters' introductions, Ace was full of praise for the castle - and it was nine percent true, because it was one of the best places to live in the city of Brassian, and it was well deserved by the praise.

"By the way, your fiancé...... What about Ashrufat?" Ace returned to the living room, looking left and right, and after all this time of entering the door, she had only seen two sisters.

"He went to Wallonia. Xingke replied. "Even we have become cautious since the sale of the castle and the transfer of the property...... He's been gone for days. ”

"He's gone?" Ace's face changed, revealing a mysterious look. "Do you really don't know the way or do you pretend not to know the way?"

"What do you know but don't know?" the two sisters replied, glancing at each other.

"There's a rumor in the city...... Do you know about the accident at the horse race before?" asked Ace.

Of course, the two sisters knew about it, and it was in this accident that Io died, and Falord, the sheriff, also died in the accident.

"We know it...... What's going on here?"

"Dear Katyusa, among those who died was your cousin Io. He was on his way back to his hometown, just in time for the spring horse race, but he didn't expect to be hit by the accident. ”

Starcar's mouth pursed disdainfully, and the mention of the name Io made her unhappy - even though Io was dead.

"So...... Is that true?" Seeing Xingke's expression, Ace not only did not relent, but looked refreshed. A gossip topic was verified, and it was like a stimulant for her.

"What's that?"

"Io has come back to fight with you for Erenster's legacy. Ace's eyes were almost shining. He was probably short of money, so he came back at risk of losing his reputation and questioned his inheritance. By virtue of his status as the only son of Allenst, he asked for half of your estate......"

"That's right. Xingke sighed. It's really being poked out - it's not surprising. What is truly surprising is that it took so long to be poked out.

"Is this true?" Ace's eyes widened.

"It's true. Xingke replied. Ace's expression made her feel some kind of ominous omen. "You just said a rumor or something...... What kind of rumors?"

"Rumors that Aerufar killed Io and his companions, and Sheriff Farod was also killed because of his unexpected presence. Ace said. It must be said that although the two sisters were also a little mentally prepared, they couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Ace say such words.

"What are you talking about...... That's outrageous, isn't it? I remember saying that there were a dozen or so people who died, and that they were hunting heavily armed men. How could Ashrufat do it alone?" Xingke asked rhetorically. But in her heart, she was measuring the force of Ashrufat. Then she realized that it wasn't too difficult for Ashrufat to do this kind of thing, as long as the conditions were right, killing a dozen or so people would be no problem for him.

"Sure enough, you don't know ......," Ace said, "As expected."

"What evidence is there for such outrageous rumors, right? Also, why did Ashrufat do this?"

Regarding the evidence, the two sisters were not panicked. After all, this is just a rumor, and if it has any reliable evidence, it will not be Ace, who likes to spread rumors, but a whole team of soldiers who will come to arrest people.

"Evidence...... Hum...... I don't know if you've heard that this group of people who died accidentally, including Io, everyone carried muskets. ”

"Then it is even more unlikely that he was killed. Xingke replied. Everybody knows what a musket is—to put it mildly, it's the terminator of martial arts. Even an ordinary person who has never even touched a weapon, as long as he has a musket in his hand, he can easily knock a skilled warrior to the ground in one fell swoop. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't beat a musket bullet - with your invincibility, you can't beat a bullet through your heart.

On the battlefield, even the heavily armored and invincible knight legions suffered heavy casualties from the fire of the musketeers.

"But among the bodies that were dug up, everyone's muskets were empty. Ace said. "Although on the surface, they were just unlucky and encountered a landslide. But in fact they met the battle before they died...... So it was shot with a musket. And some people say that the injuries of those corpses are a bit strange, and some really don't look like they were caused by falling off a cliff. ”

"But how does this have anything to do with Ashrufat?" Hoshimi asked rhetorically.

"Of course, it's because of what we just said. Ace's eyes lit up, "Of course he killed them for that." A man does something for the woman he loves, this is called courageous!"

"He didn't have to. Hoshimi sighed. "You forget, he had already won the horse race by that time, and he didn't have to take the risk. ”

"Oh, my dear, wealth is touching. 10,000 gold coins, it is normal to die a few people. ”

"Even if you want to kill someone, you can't choose that time. If Io is assassinated on the side of the road one day, it's worth considering. "The two sisters actually have a very good relationship with Ace, so of course they are very familiar with Ace's personality. In order to avoid her misunderstanding, Xingke quickly made a further explanation and told her the whole process.

"I see...... after hearing the whole thing, Ace's gossip heart dimmed for the most part, and there was obvious disappointment on her face.

"Oh, by the way, how much did this castle cost? I remember the price offered by the Knight of Dale was eleven thousand and fifteen......" Ace was not one to be discouraged by the overthrow of a gossip, she turned her attention to something else.

"Actually, it's more than that. Xingke introduced. "Because some of the furniture, the collection and the wine in the cellar are all extra. Ashrufat thought it was good and didn't want to change it, so he used about 13,000 after the end. She said in a slightly smug tone.

"Oh, yes. An ambiguous smile appeared on Ace's face. "How are you doing?"

By the time she said this, she had already left the living room, and began to carefully examine the entire master's living area, room by room, accompanied by the two sisters.

"What's going on?" Xing Ke felt a heat on his face, but tried to pretend that he didn't understand anything.

"Of course it's just the two of you...... Hey, this is the master bedroom?"
