Elf brother as my tool man

Chapter 39 Did they really all evacuate here?

The style of the fortress is similar to a mountain camp, with the feeling of a horse thief gang base.The grade here is obviously not as good as that of the barony, but it has a bit more characteristics than the ordinary knight's collar.The medicinal herb field under the protection of this cottage is located on the side near the basin. It seems that the owner of the fortress has been operating here for some time.The four of them could even see traces of plowing on the mountain slopes near the fortress. "The owner here should have controlled this place with his legal status first, and then showed the fangs of the evil sect." Qiao Chenxi guessed. "Sister Chen Xi, I think it's possible that the owner of the fortress was originally a good person, but fell under the temptation of the evil sect and finally worked for them." Xiaofang put forward a different opinion. "It is indeed possible." Qiao Chenxi estimated the size of the basin with her fingers and footsteps, "If the herbs produced in the entire basin were used for unclean sacrifices" "Sounds quite scary." Xiaoya covered her head eyes. "I think so many herbs are definitely enough. So, Sister Chen Xi, how sure are you now that the owner here has fallen into an evil sect?" Meixin asked, flipping through the map of the left bank of the river valley in her hand. "90.00% nine." Qiao Chenxi made a "trust me" gesture, "But no evidence is conclusive. If we can find more evidence in the fortress, we may be able to increase the probability to [-]%." Let's go." Xiaofang has already reached the gate of the fortress gate.The door was ajar, and the four of them pushed it open after making sure no one was inside.The front yard of the fortress was in a mess, and there seemed to be some scorch marks on the ground. All the items that could be taken away had been taken away. Now there was nothing here except a piece of bare soil and a few toe-high weeds. "Don't you think it's strange that the weeds are so short?" Qiao Chenxi asked, "If they have been gone for a long time, weeds should be overgrown here." "Yes, these black scorch marks on the ground should also be There are traces of burning unclean sacrificial items." Xiaofang also found some clues. "That's basically the case." Qiao Chenxi nodded, "But we still have no evidence to prove it." "It seems that we have to go inside the fortress to find out. Let's go." Xiaoya had already reached the gate of the fortress building.Qiao Chenxi looked up and saw that the terrain here was full of hills on the left and right sides. Indeed, although the geographical location here was not as good as the East-West Pass in Breeze Valley, it was still more dangerous. "Sister Chenxi, Sister Xiaofang, Sister Meixin, come and see." In a trance, the gate of the fortress had been opened, and Xiaoya called the other three people to come.The door of the building is also ajar, but the appearance inside is very different from the outside. The shabby tables and chairs, abandoned stoves, walls covered with spider webs, and smelly food all seem to indicate that this place It has been deprecated for a long time.As soon as Xiaoya pushed the door open, the connection between the door panel and the building began to collapse. She quickly supported it to prevent the door from completely falling apart. "We seem to be wrong. This place has indeed been abandoned for a long time, Sister Chen Xi." Xiaofang said softly. "The evil sect wanted to use the dilapidation here to cover up something." Qiao Chenxi's tone contained a hint of certainty, "They almost succeeded. If the people from the Holy See come to the Seville area tomorrow to investigate, the human beings from the Holy See will come The weeds were already very thick when we were here, and they basically deceived the Holy See." "There is a possibility, I wonder if Sister Chen Xi has considered it." Meixin proposed after careful consideration, "They only use They occupied the front yard of the fortress and the medicine field in the basin behind it, and they abandoned the building itself for several years." "Then they didn't live here, but in other bases, even in Lower Seville. "Region" Qiao Chenxi looked at Meixin excitedly, obviously she recognized this conjecture. "Those bad guys only do two things here, harvest herbs and perform rituals, and live in other places." Xiaoya clenched her little fists, "They are too cunning." "Sometimes, cunning is a way to be manipulated. Smart to see through." Qiao Chenxi smiled easily, and then walked into the fortress, "In this way, if people from the Holy See investigate this place, they will come to the conclusion that this is an abandoned fortress, and when they investigate other bases, Then we will come to the conclusion that it is just an ordinary knight's territory, and there is no sign of any evil sect." "Is it really good to just go inside?" Xiaofang thought for a moment, but quietly stepped into the fortress, trying not to touch it as much as possible to the dust on the ground. "You two can look for other clues outside." Qiao Chenxi arranged, "We can say that we can't find any clues at all here. Because those evil sect members have never come in at all." "Then why did you Do you want to go in?" Xiaoya asked. "I want to know the fate of this fortress owner." Qiao Chenxi sighed, "Those evil sect believers, have they really all evacuated here? I don't think so. They will come back." "Why do you use this word fate?" The gate of the fortress closed slowly, and Xiaoya outside was confused. "The owner of this fortress is most likely dead." Meixin heard the implication of Qiao Chenxi's words. "Dead" Xiaoya was shocked. "Yes. Come on, let's go outside and look for objects that may have been left by the followers of the evil sect." "Sister Chen Xi, I'm not a noble. I just want to ask, generally, nobles who own a fortress will keep their personal belongings." Where to put it?" In the fortress, the two of them walked tiptoeing, Xiaofang's voice was as thin as a gossamer. "There are two places: the living room and the bedroom. The living room usually places objects related to the honors obtained by the nobles, while the bedroom is completely private." "What kind of family chronicle does it belong to?" Xiaofang focused the question on a specific on objects. "It must be placed in the living room, because this chronicle must record the family's glory." Qiao Chenxi said disapprovingly. "That means that here we can find the glory of the owner of the fortress." Xiaofang opened the door of the living room very carefully, for fear that the door would be damaged due to decay.After carefully walking into the living room, Qiao Chenxi realized that the style here was not much different from the Chateau Le Bon where she lived.Except that the wooden floor has basically decayed and the paint on various decorations has completely faded, this place looks like a basic living room.Qiao Chenxi reached out to the cabinet in the corner of the living room.If the owner of the fortress never came back, and the evil sect members did not enter here, then the family chronicle should be in this cabinet.
