Heaven’s Intention

It was already noon at this time, and there were no people on the street. The village was too small, so Romon and Ai Weixi locked the target based on the simple description of the former residence mentioned in Jacob's diary.

It was a large, decaying house, with grass growing all around, and the door locked.

Although it is locked, it is not difficult for Romon. Romon has also learned some thieves' skills. As long as he has time, it is not a problem to deal with a simple lock.

After a while, the lock was unlocked, and Romon carefully pushed open the wooden door. A musty smell rushed towards him. He frowned slightly, and then looked inside the door.

Decay, desolation. These two words are enough to describe the scene in the courtyard. It can be seen that many years ago, the environment in this courtyard should be good. A big tree stands in the courtyard, and there are three rows of tall houses. The construction scale is obviously larger than other houses. People in the village need to be grand and luxurious.

However, because no one has lived in it for a long time, the house has decayed to a certain extent at this time, the weeds in front of the house have grown tall, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. What's exciting is that the tall tree grows very luxuriantly.

But this kind of luxuriance, on the contrary, set off the desolation of the courtyard.

Presumably, this is the residence of Jacob's grandfather, the former village head. Because Jacob's grandfather, the village head who was involved in the mining affairs, has died, and the only Jacob who inherited this house He was away all year round, and even if he came back, he would go back to that castle, and would not come here easily. Therefore, the lack of human care here for many years has resulted in such a sign of decline.

Romon and Aiweixi led the horses in while carefully observing the house. It seemed that because of their movement, a few small animals rushed out of the grass because of their entry, and then Rushing to the outside in a hurry, Romon and Aiweixi couldn't help shaking their heads when they saw it, sighing secretly, this place is really deserted.

Turning to the front of the mansion, Romon looked around quietly. The wooden structure and poorly decorated rooms were obviously the residence of the servants, and the main building in the middle was obviously the residence of the village chief.

Hey! It's already a standard jazz residential area, and I must have made a lot of money back then! Romon looked at it and muttered inwardly.

The small building had a door again, and Luo Meng took out another wire, and began to deal with the door, and the door opened again quickly.

It was another moldy smell. It filled the whole space. After it dispersed, and opened the doors and windows to let the sunlight in, I saw that the room was in a mess. Most of the furnishings had been removed long ago. The slightly valuable things , have long since disappeared. In the empty room, there are only countless messy things scattered on the ground.

First of all, it should be the hall. After scanning, I found that there was nothing.

Romon picked up something casually, looked at it, and then threw it aside: I don't know if there is anything we need here.

I think it's very likely that Jacob doesn't have a place to live now. Although this place is desolate, he will always live here, and it's impossible for him to carry many things with him, so he should be hiding here. Ai Weixi said .

Romon nodded and said, Then let's look separately!

Immediately, the two separated, one went to the left and the other to the right. There were rooms in each, and they began to search.

What Luo Meng went to seemed to be a study room. There were several rows of bookshelves against the wall. The bookshelves were obviously from the past and used the best wood because they were made of ebony, but there was nothing on the bookshelves. Not a single book.

There is also a fireplace. The desk next to the fireplace and the chair next to it may have been used by someone recently. It can be seen from the smell, but the materials are ordinary. It is estimated that after Jacob came back, I also made tables and chairs, but I didn't have money, so the materials were ordinary.

Romon searched on the desk for a long time, but couldn't find anything useful. When he felt extremely depressed, Ai Weixi, who went into another house to search, suddenly called out: Romon, come here.

Romon rushed over and found that it was a bedroom with a bed inside, and a wooden board had been pulled away under the bed, revealing a secret passage.

According to Aiweixi, it was found by accident. At that time, she was searching for the objects in this room. She searched several times but found nothing useful. She was about to leave when she came across a mechanism. The planks are separated.

At the critical moment, Ai Weixi was not reckless. After discovering the secret room, she did not go down rashly. Instead, she called Romon, and the two discussed it.

Because there was likely to be evidence they needed in the secret room, the two finally left after ventilating the secret room for a long time.

The two glanced at each other, and Romon went down first, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, while Miss Aiweixi followed.

In the dark corridor, a musty smell mixed with a rotten smell ravaged Romon and Avisi's nose and mouth after they stepped into the passage.

Walking all the way down, the dry air gave people a very stuffy feeling.

Before entering, Romon and the others had actually opened the entrance and ventilated for a long time, but even so, the smell in the passage of the secret room was still unbearable.

Walking in this passage that seemed to have been abandoned for many years, Romon was better. After all, when he was in the ruins of the Thorn Forest, he had been to a passage in a secret room with a worse environment than here, so facing this He can still bear the situation.

He just chanted silently, and released another light technique, letting the light above his head illuminate the entire corridor.

Ai Weixi followed behind, seeing that the corridors and underground passages were full of disgusting debris, and the smell in the air was even more rotten and stench, she couldn't help but frowned.

Although the ventilation effect in the secret room is not very good, the steps and surrounding walls are fairly neat and solid. The two walked down for a while, and not long after, a secret room of more than ten square meters appeared in front of them.

The illumination of the light technique was only temporary. Romon saw a table inside, and there was a candlestick on the table with several candles on it, so he went over and lit one of them.

There are two kinds of light sources, and the room is suddenly brightened. Looking around, this secret room looks quite crowded and narrow, surrounded by some messy objects and utensils, everything that one expects to find.

There is also an open box, which is actually filled with coins, but they are all copper coins. Because of years of air corrosion, they have long lost their luster.

Ai Weixi has been looking around since entering here, seeing Romon staring at the coins in a daze, and said: Take it if you want, anyway, it's an ownerless thing.

No... I was thinking, maybe not only these money, but also other silver coins and gold coins. Jacob saw it, and it would be impossible if he didn't take it away. Romon looked at those scattered on the ground. Copper coins, talking.

Judging from the records in Jacob's diary, he has already found it here. Now that we have arrived here, let's start looking for clues. If we can't find evidence here, then we can find evidence elsewhere. It won't be too easy. After she finished speaking, she began to search for it first.

Romon nodded, but it didn't take him long to find a bound document.

The two began to look through it, and after a while, the two were relieved. That's right, what they found was indeed the evidence left by the village chief.

These are some account books, and there is a letter inside the account book. The person who wrote the letter is actually Jacob's grandfather, the former village head of this village.

The letter was written in great detail. After reading the letter, Romon and Avesy finally knew another thing by accident, that is, the death of Jacob's grandfather Vidot was not simple.

It turned out that when the mine was mined, it was done with the then mayor Sobley, and most of the ore was handed over to Sobley in exchange for a lot of money.

Since this was done by the lord, they might be hanged if they were found out. In order to fear being silenced afterwards, Jacob’s grandfather Vidot once kept a private account book, which recorded their daily mining. The amount, the money obtained, the distribution results, and some records of important events, and use this to ensure the safety of your own life.

As a result, he gained some years of peace, but until a few years ago, a book in his hand was stolen, and he also died of a sudden illness. Because of the haste of his death, he didn't even have time to tell others. In fact, in order to prevent problems before they happened, he copied two copies of the account book, and hid the other copy in the basement.

The reason is that no matter how careful I am, there will still be a day when people will silence me. Leaving this last evidence can be regarded as a reserve, so that I will not let myself die in vain.

Looking at the account book in their hands again, I have to say that although they have already learned about some events through Jacob's diary, but holding the more detailed original records in their hands, Romon and Avisi still A lot of sighs.

Especially in the last paragraph, even the village head Vidot suspects that the mine disaster did not happen naturally, but was intentional. After all, the mine disaster happened just when the mine vein was hollowed out, which is too coincidental.

The two watched, feeling sorry for the villagers who were buried alive, and sighing for Jacob's grandfather Widot.

Okay, now that we have obtained the evidence, let's go back to the castle and let Baron Galle decide what to do next. Those are out of our control. Ai Weixi said.

Romon nodded: Yes, the power of the ghost is getting stronger and stronger, the sooner it is resolved, the better, we will rush back overnight.

The two discussed it, and felt that the sooner this problem could be solved, it would be good for both the people who died and the growth of plants in the territory. So, after coming out of the room, the two led the horses and went out of the house. The house, got on the horse, ignored the village, and ran away.
