Chapter 12 The Crematorium of the Knight Rupert

"Is this the estate of Knight Rupert? Israel whistled.

"I think we need to go in and have a look, there's something weird here," Puniroro said, frowning.

If you look at it from afar, you will find a strangely looking tall building in Rupert's manor, which looks like it has not been built very recently, and the strangest thing is that there is a huge chimney on the top of the building, which is constantly emitting black smoke.

The smell of black smoke was so choking and strong that even Israed's party, who had not yet entered the manor, could smell it clearly.

"What does this smell like?" Celetia wrinkled her nose, "It feels weird." ”

"It's like," Earle paused, "but no, who would build something like this in their own house?"

Israel looked at Earl and said, "Earl, you think this is a crematorium, right?"

"What?" Celetia's eyes widened, "You mean Rupert built a crematorium on his estate?

"There is only one explanation. Punirolo began to walk towards Rupert's estate, "His home may have recently had a lot of corpses that couldn't be properly disposed of. ”

Several people went around to the back gate of Rupert's manor, and found that the entire manor was heavily guarded, and even at the back door, there were two small groups of soldiers walking around and patrolling, and if they broke in, it would inevitably not alarm more soldiers.

Just as the group was about to take a different route, Celetia smiled evilly and began to chant. At this time, all the soldiers stopped, and their eyes gradually drifted. When Celetia had finished chanting, the soldiers began to move again, all of them bowing their heads, their eyes closed, and their movements in unison like wind-up toy iron men.

"Now their souls have been hypnotized by me temporarily, and they will only be forced to wake up when they are greatly stimulated. Celetia shook her little head, her face full of pride.

"It's you. Pnirolo complimented Celetia cooperatively, "Then let's go in and have a look." ”

As soon as you enter through the back door, you can see the strange crematorium, and at this time, two people happened to come over pushing a cart, and they should be the servants of the manor. The cart was covered with a white cloth, and the bottom was uneven, and as the cart jolted, a strand of gray hair loomed under the white cloth. Everyone found a hidden place to hide for the time being, observing the two manservants' every move.

"How many are these? We've had to transport a corpse almost every day since that midnight thug came to Mister Rupert. One of them began, "And Master Rupert's guards are always dressed as the midnight guys, and they don't know what they do every day." ”

The other looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "Let me tell you, it wasn't just that thug who came to see Lord Rupert that time, he also brought a man in a black cloak. And I swear to Goddess Afuya that that strange man must still be in our manor by now. ”

"Really?" the first servant to speak was startled.

"I had been talking to old John the gardener at the gate the day they came, and I saw the only one who came out of the door, the little thug named Anthony. Later, I also asked Old John, and he told me that he had never seen someone he did not know go out of the manor. ”

With that, the servant took out the key and opened the door to the crematorium, and walked in with his companion pushing the cart. Punirolo glanced at the others and motioned for them to follow. Several people quietly followed the two servants and also entered the crematorium.

There was a huge iron furnace in the crematorium, and one of the servants stepped forward and opened the iron door of the furnace, and the raging flames almost escaped. The servant jumped back as if frightened, but bumped into a man behind him, and he turned back to meet Simmons' big smile.

The servant was about to scream, but found that his companion had been knocked unconscious by Punirolo's palm, so he swallowed the cry for help back into his stomach. Punirolo walked over to the cart and gently lifted the white cloth, on which lay a middle-aged man in his 40s, with pale skin, wrinkled skin, and his blood had been drained. He had a small daisy tattooed on his chest, but the daisy was embraced by a skeleton.

Punirolo has her eyes down, and she has a "skull daisy" tattooed on the back of her neck, which is the symbol of the Midnight members. She solemnly re-covered the man with the white cloth, walked up to the sober servant, and dragged him by the collar to the crematorium, where the light of the fire jumped up and down like a hungry wolf, as if it were going to devour something. The servant felt his legs go limp, unable to stand up, and his whole body was supported by the hand that Punirolo was holding onto.

Punirolo forced the servant's face to face the crematorium door, and said, "Tell me everything you know about the man in the cloak, or it won't be the dead man lying over there who enters the furnace today." ”

"I, I really don't, don't know anything. The servant's upper and lower teeth kept bumping together, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence, "I, the only thing I know is that he lives now, on the third floor, next to Lord Rupert's bedroom. ”

As soon as the servant finished speaking, Punirolo slapped him on the back of the head, and the servant fell unconscious. Punirolo then tied him up with the other unconscious servant from earlier, and tore off a piece of their clothes to gag their mouths.

It's too skilled. Israel Rade watched Pniroro's smooth movements and thought to himself.

"What are we going to do now? go and get that vampire monster and that knight out?" asked Simmons.

"Are you crazy?" Celetia pouted, "Rupert is a knight of the Imperial City directly appointed by the royal family, how can we attack him without more direct evidence?"

Israel Red looked around, "Isn't this still evidence?"

Celetia shook her head: "These cannot be used as direct evidence, the lives of the valets' families are all in the hands of their masters, if you want them to testify against their masters, they would rather commit suicide." And the corpse, Punirollo, I don't have any opinion about the gang, but the court doesn't go into the truth about the murder of a gang member. ”

Punirolo nodded, she knew that whoever it was, from the moment she joined the gang, had been abandoned by the orthodox social life and legal system.

"If, in this case, we go to war directly against Rupert, it will only be perceived as a challenge to the authority of the state and the royal family, and I do not think that we are important enough to do such a thing without impunity. Celetia continued.

The crowd was silent, and Celetia's words reminded them that it was not yet possible to make a move against Rupert, but whether it was the corpse of the Midnight member tattooed with daisies or the words of the two male servants just now, it all hinted at a deeper secret buried in this manor.

"Didn't they say that there were soldiers going out disguised as members of Midnight?" said Israed, "and the crematorium and the monster were in the manor, and if the citizens had been kidnapped by them, they would have been locked up here as well." ”

Israed's words reminded everyone that it would not be difficult to hide hundreds of people in such a large manor. The group decided to search the manor, and if there were any other imprisoned citizens, what happened to them was undoubtedly the best accusation against Rupert.

After a few people walked out of the door of the crematorium, Earl opened an enchantment, only this barrier seemed to be different from the previous ones, it was completely transparent. When the crowd wondered why Earl was using enchantment magic at such a time, Earl explained, "This is not the usual defensive enchantment, this is called a mimic enchantment, and it can be integrated with the surrounding environment, and no one else outside the enchantment can see us." ”

"There's still this kind of enchantment magic?" Celetia was intrigued.

"But this kind of barrier has no defense at all, and it can't stop anything. If someone happens to walk in, they'll find us. Earl said as he began to walk forward, and the barrier moved with Earl's footsteps. Everyone gathered around Earl to make sure they could stay in the mimic barrier.

As soon as she entered the castle of Knight Rupert, Celetia stopped everyone.

"There seem to be quite a few people underground, and I feel at least a hundred souls. Celetia said. "And they seem to be terrified. ”
