"What mastermind?" said Frey, growling.

"Heh, are you still pretending to be confused with me?" said Mr. Winslow with a grin, staring at Frey, "He used you as bait, do you want to hide your identity for him and tell me that you are the one who has been with me all along?"

Frey gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

Mr. Winslow added, "I've felt something is wrong since a year ago, as if someone is eyeing me again, and he's chasing him...... I'm sure he won't come to this valley no less than ten times. ”

"A year ago?" Hearing this, Alan couldn't help but mutter.

"Unfortunately, I've never been able to capture his location accurately......" said Mr. Winslow's face sank as if he were a fierce rival, "Your father is a dead brain, and is always in the same place when he detects my location, and he doesn't move. I don't have any means of scouting, but with enough time, I can find him when the magic I cast converges along these lines of mana. But this mouse is different...... His position was erratic, sometimes underground, sometimes in the rocks, sometimes in the sky, and he had a keen sense of smell, and every time he disappeared as soon as I was about to find him......"

"I see......" Hearing this, Alan finally understood that there was another person besides them who was looking for Mr. Winslow, before them. And judging by the man's actions, it doesn't seem to be Mr. Winslow's friend.

"I don't know!" Frey said dryly, "I only know that my father's death, and the fact that my family is in this situation now, are all because of you!"

"Oh, don't be mistaken, he came to the door himself, and I don't blame him. Mr. Winslow laughed when he heard this, "If it weren't for his repeated troubles, I wouldn't have wanted to make such a big fuss." ”

"You make it clear!" said Frey.

"It seems that you don't seem to know everything......" Mr. Winslow looked at Frey meaningfully, and then spoke slowly, "Your father Hector was once one of my most important backbones, and as long as he did do what I told him to do and work honestly, if he did find the treasure, I would give him half of it as promised...... If it weren't for his curiosity......"

"What a half, those treasures originally belonged to our family!" Frey was a little angry when he heard this, and shouted, "You robbed Sieverus and Doug for no reason, just to keep it to yourself!

"No, no, no, I think you must have made a mistake...... Mr. Winslow said unhurriedly, "I did want to keep it to myself at first, but those treasures are not yours...... Those treasures belonged only to the Stone family from the beginning. And the man named Doug, his full name is Doug Stone...... Do you understand what I mean?"

"Doug Stone!?" Alan was taken aback when he heard the news, "He's a descendant of the Stone family!"

"Since you're going to die, it's okay to tell you......" Mr. Winslow laughed grimly, and then said, "My ancestors stumbled upon a large family that lived in seclusion, and they were dressed in gold and silver all day long, and they spent their money like dirt, but after careful investigation they found that they were the long-vanished Stone family. ”

"Sure enough, your family did it......," Alan said.

"That's right, the disappearance of the Stone family was the work of my ancestors. Mr. Winslow was also unabashed, as calm as if he were saying something that was not normal: "If you have read carefully, you will know that if you put a few 'ash flowers' in the room and block the vents of the whole room, in less than an hour, the people inside will suffocate to death." ”

"Ash Flower ......" was only remembered by Allen when he said this, and he had indeed seen the relevant description in the book. It is an almost extinct flower, resembling a rose, but when it enters an oxygen-deficient environment, it releases a large amount of toxic substances.

It seems that Frey's father may have died from this flower as well. And what Winslow and the Winslow family always like to embroider on their clothes may not be roses, but this kind of flower, and roses are just a tool they use to hide people's eyes.

"It is already the greatest mercy to let them die without suffering any pain. Mr. Winslow said with a sneer.

"But what my ancestors didn't expect was that after checking their genealogies, they found that the bodies of two men were missing......," said Mr. Winslow after a pause, "the mistress of their house and the youngest child." ”

When Alan heard this, he guessed what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, Mr. Winslow said, "It may have been that they went out together that day that they got away with it, but the Winslow family's usual style is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so for so many years, our family has always been on the lookout for people with crescent marks behind their ears." ”

"Crescent marker?"

"Yes. One of the family's interesting rules is that when the heir is one year old, he must have a crescent tattoo behind his ear. "At first, I didn't know what they were for, but later, after searching the castle and finding no treasure, I realized that it had something to do with it." ”

Not only that, but their dwarfs also disappeared with them. "Later, I learned from Sieverus that it was the gnomes who informed the two men of the danger in the castle, and told them to hide their identities and take refuge in the city as commoners." And those dwarfs found the largest family in Krivari at that time, the Wagbein family, as their backers. ”

All the clues are connected, and the truth is gradually clear.

"By chance, I saw Doug on the street, who had become a peasant, and tried to catch him, but this guy had some means, but in the face of his stubborn resistance, he did not succeed, and quickly disappeared, and I don't know where he was hiding. But the heavens were on my side, and I was able to go in and out of the Wagbein house as Hector was going to succeed him as vice president, which gave me the opportunity to rob them......"

"How can you get away with the Winslow family?" Alan was stunned, remembering Doug's crazy appearance, and couldn't believe it.

"If you're just for these treasures, then why do you have to put my father to death!" Frey asked.

"Why?" said Mr. Winslow, pouting, "because of ...... of course He's trying to expose what I've done here, and he's trying to put me in the Misty Forest!"
