Soul echo

Chapter 292 Clues
"so amazing……"

After walking out of the Adventurer's House, Lily moved her shoulders and only felt a little soreness.

Although Zhong Ye didn't do it himself, it was just Lilian's 'practice' under his guidance, but now Lily can feel that her tired body has recovered to a considerable extent.

"Is this the 'acupoints' and 'meridians'?"

Lily remembered the words that Zhong Ye mentioned just now when he pointed out Lilian - even though there are no words in Xilu that can be used to describe these things.

But Lily has a flexible mind and can understand what Zhong Ye said.

And Lilian herself has a considerable understanding of 'acupoints' and 'meridians'.

She suffered from ALS since she was a child. Although massaging acupuncture points and dredging meridians cannot cure the disease, it can relieve her pain during the disease process. Therefore, she has also been exposed to a lot of related knowledge.

Zhong Ye didn't expect this, so he didn't expect the massage effect to be so good. Lily recovered almost in just one morning.

"Who are we going to find next?" Lily turned to look at Zhong Ye.

Last night, they had compiled a list from those 'bazaar vendors'. If nothing else happened, they would visit the people on the list one by one.

Zhong Ye lowered his head and looked at Lily, "You make the decision."

Lily was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she had lived in Le Mans for a while when she was a child, and Zhong Ye thought that since she was a princess, she should know the nobles of Le Mans.

And it was true, she did know the aristocrats of Le Mans.

Although the memory is a bit long, nobles rarely leave their own territories and properties, so as long as they follow the memory location, they can find those nobles.

"From the young nobles? Or from the lords..."

In the middle of speaking, Lily stopped speaking and fell silent.

She suddenly remembered what Zhong Ye had said to her when he was in Chartres.

Although the lord of Chartres was not killed on the spot, later events proved that the Baron of Gombula had long since died. Not only was he dead, but his family was also wiped out.

Asking Zhong Ye to meet the local lord is not a good option.

"... Let's start visiting from the young nobles!" Lily said righteously.

Zhong Ye raised his eyebrows, "You make the decision."

After making a decision, Lily Lieber took Zhong Ye and Lilian to the aristocratic area of ​​Le Mans.

Most of the nobles are the same, except for their own territory, the nobles who have no territory like to live together, and separate the area where they live from the area where ordinary people live, which is called 'noble'.

——Aristocrats do not necessarily have titles, and the children, brothers, and nephews of nobles who have titles are also nobles.

Nobles with titles and territories are not necessarily richer than nobles without titles and territories. Therefore, on that list, there are also many nobles without titles and territories.

The nobleman Lily took them to visit first was a relative of a certain knight who had no title or territory, but had done some business and had some money in his hands.

This aristocrat has no artistic accomplishments and buys paintings just to put on a show.

It didn't go well when Lily brought Zhong Ye and the others to visit, because this nobleman prided himself on being noble, and so did his servants.

The act of looking down on people with a dog's eyes was staged again, but this time, Lily became much calmer.

Because she has realized that the identity of "princess" is not all about her. Four princesses.

"I am a witcher."

Zhong Ye walked out from behind Lily, stood in front of the servant, looked down at him, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want your master to have an accident, you'd better report our visit truthfully, we will only wait here for 5 minutes .”

This is just a villa with a small area. If you really want to report, 5 minutes is more than enough, and it is enough for the nobleman to think about whether to meet them.

"The countdown starts now."

Looking at Zhong Ye's indifferent eyes, the servant's heart was pounding and he swallowed with difficulty.

Standing on the spot and struggling for a while, listening to Zhong Ye's slow countdown, he stomped his feet and roared angrily: "You wait for me!"

The door was slammed shut with a bang, and a burst of eager footsteps went away from behind the door.

Zhong Ye didn't stop counting down, and read out the numbers one after another in a gentle voice. Even Lily and Lilian standing behind him felt a sense of urgency that came from nowhere.

Not long after, footsteps sounded again, only this time more frequently and louder.

The door of the villa opened again, and the panicked face of the servant appeared in front of Zhong Ye and the others.

Because Zhong Ye's countdown was still going on, before he could catch his breath, the servant swallowed hard, "Please, please come in! My master invites you in!"

Hearing this, Zhong Ye finally stopped the countdown. For some reason, the servant breathed a sigh of relief. He relaxed, his legs were weak, and he hung behind the door.

Zhong Ye walked into the villa first, followed by Lily and Lilian. After the servant closed the door, he walked up to Zhong Ye and the others on his weak legs, nodded and bowed, and said with a forced smile: "Your Excellencies, plz follow me……"

Under the guidance of the servant, the three of Zhong Ye came to a study.

"You came to look for me a month ago, and now you're here again?" An old man with white temples sat behind a desk, staring angrily at Zhong Ye who was at the door, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Did other witchers come to you a month ago?" Zhong Ye frowned slightly.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhong Ye asked seriously: "So, has there been any fighting in Le Mans recently, or the accidental death of nobles?"

"no!"

The old man patted the table and roared angrily. Then he realized something, stood up abruptly, and looked at Zhong Ye in shock, "Wait, what did you mean by that sentence just now? Noble? Accidental death?"

Zhong Ye did not answer the old man's question, but continued to ask: "Is there any?"

"Have I told you all?" The old man patted the table violently, glaring at Zhong Ye angrily, "What did you mean by 'the nobleman died unexpectedly'? This has nothing to do with you and that witcher from before what is the relationship?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Zhong Ye also felt a little surprised, "—Nemo's painting! We are looking for the painting left by Nemo! Do you know who has it there?"

The old man frowned deeply, "What does this have to do with the painting left by Master Nemo?"

"Don't you know that Nemo is a cult member?" Zhong Ye asked in a deep voice.

"There's something wrong with his painting?!"

Hearing Zhong Ye's words, the old man finally realized that something was wrong, his expression became flustered, and even his voice couldn't help but raise a higher pitch.

"In other cities, after getting Nemo's painting, someone was transformed into a cultist. You should be very clear about what a cultist is, right?"

The old man took a step back, bumped into the chair, fell back down, and his breathing became short of breath.

"At... at Count Marta's place!"

The old man said with a trembling voice, "I told him too, at Earl Marta's place..."

This 'he' undoubtedly refers to the witcher who visited the old man before!

The time was a month ago, which means that if nothing happened to the witcher, he should have visited Count Marta.

But judging from the old man's current reaction and the reaction of the thief he saw last night, we can know that Earl Marta is still alive!

The witcher has already visited Earl Marta, but the earl is still alive, there are two possibilities——

[-]. Earl Marta has no problem, the witcher took Nemo's painting away;
[-]. The witcher died, at the hands of Count Marta.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Ye turned to look at Lily, "Miss Liber, do you still remember where Earl Marta lives?"

"You don't have to be so polite, just call me 'Lily'."

Lily smiled slightly, then turned around, "Come with me, it's still early, we should be able to see Count Marta before dinner."
