Anchor, your box lunch is here

After getting dressed, Chao An walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room. At this time, the living room was empty, and Chao An sat down at the dining table.

"Master, do I need to serve you dinner now?"

"No hurry, wait until the others get together."

"Okay sir."

Arthur brought a newspaper for Chaoan. The ironed newspaper exuded the scent of ink. Chaoan opened it and read half a page when the Chesters came in from the door. This old couple always woke up Those who got up earlier than others would go for a walk in the garden before coming back for breakfast.

"Good day, Master Angelet, did you sleep well last night?"

"Very good. Breakfast will be served in a while. Would you like to read the newspaper first?"

"It's just time for me to learn something new, thank you."

Chester and Ersa also sat down at the dining table, and Arthur took a newspaper for Chester. The two did not continue to communicate, and only the sound of newspapers being flipped was left in the dining room.

Two hourglass hours later, Judge Bennett appeared in the corridor. His steps were as steady and powerful as ever, but his expression looked distressed, as if something went wrong.

"What happened, Your Excellency Bennett, you don't seem to be in a good mood, didn't you sleep well last night?" Chao An asked with concern.

The judge sighed, sat down beside Chao An, thought about his words and said, "I received a letter saying that Her Royal Highness is seriously ill and has fallen into a coma."

"Oh, this is really unfortunate news." Chester has never met Her Royal Highness, but in the eyes of common people, she has always been elegant and kind, and anyone who hears the news of her serious illness will feel sorry.

"The court physician will cure Her Royal Highness. What you need to do now, Your Excellency, is to drink a cup of hot tea and relax."

"Thank you for your concern, Master Angelet."

Arthur brought a cup of hot tea for the judge, and the judge tasted the tea. At this time, footsteps sounded in the corridor again. Kathy appeared in front of everyone in a gorgeous long dress, but compared to the previous day's publicity, today There was a clear blue color under Kathy's eyes, and it could be seen that she didn't rest well last night.

"Did you hear voices last night?"

"sound?"

"Yes, it's the sound of running in the corridor, and the sound of the little girl crying, God, these noises make me sleepless." Kathy's voice was tired, she stroked her forehead and pressed her fingers temple.

"Miss Kathy, we didn't hear any sound last night, it was very quiet around here." Elsa said.

"Yeah, Ersa and I have always slept very lightly, if there is a sound, we will definitely hear it." Chester also echoed.

Kathy found it unbelievable that other people didn't hear such a loud noise, and she thought it was

Others, like her, were too disturbed to sleep.

"What about you, Angelet? Did you hear the sound?"

"I don't think so." Chaoan added in his mind, but "dream" is not necessarily the case.

"Did I hear it wrong?"

"It should be Miss Kathy, you had a nightmare."

"Nightmare? But that voice was so real, as if it was ringing in my ears, it didn't feel like a dream at all." Now, when Kathy recalled the little girl's crying, she still felt it was very clear, which made her feel like a mask in her heart. It's as uncomfortable as a cloud.

"Miss Kathy, you may need to go to the church to pray. The true God will bless you and let you sleep peacefully. I remember there is a small church in the manor."

"That's a good idea. I'll go after breakfast." Elsa's proposal cheered up Kathy. She thought it must be because she hadn't prayed for too long and lost the blessing of the gods to meet such an evil person. thing.

Kathy wanted to finish breakfast quickly, and it happened that people were almost here, so Arthur asked the maid to serve breakfast. Chester saw that there was only one place left, and asked curiously, "By the way, Baron Villiers What? Why didn't he come down?"

Speaking of which, since Baron Villiers returned to his room yesterday afternoon, no one had seen him again. Even dinner was brought to his room by the maid.

"I don't know, maybe I overslept." The accident at the racecourse caused a rift between Kathy and Villiers, and she had some headaches today, so she didn't wait until the baron came down together.

"Arthur, go and ask the Baron if he wants to dine in his room."

"Okay, sir."

Arthur went up to the second floor to knock on the baron's door. After a while, the baron appeared in front of everyone. After seeing the baron's appearance, everyone was surprised.

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Baron? You look... tired?" Chao An's words were rather euphemistic, but Baron Villiers was actually in a trance at this time, with a haggard face and heavy eyes hanging under his eyes. The bags under the eyes are completely hollowed out.

It seems that everyone had a hard time last night, and the people who appeared today were more miserable than the last.

"I don't know. Last night I had a good rest in the room, but this morning I woke up as tired as if I had worked all day, especially my arm, it was so sore. I think I need to apply a hot towel." The baron said weakly Speaking, then said as if suddenly remembering something, "By the way, 'Shemos' was in my hand when I woke up this morning. I don't remember taking it to bed."

After the baron finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand why such a strange thing happened. Only Chao'an had a realization in his heart. He thought of the man who was holding 'Sheamus' and fighting the murderer last night. That should be The real owner of this manor, Duke Riddle, just imagine if Duke Riddle still exists, where would he exist?

Chao An invited the baron to sit down, and the maid and the chef served breakfast to everyone. Noticing that they were a little distracted, Chao An smiled slightly and said, "After breakfast, I will take Cousin Kathy to the church. Your Excellency and the Baron Might you want to join me too?"

"I would like to pray for Her Majesty the Queen," the judge said.

"The church is the habitat of the gods, and he will guide me to find the direction." The baron also said.

"Okay, let's have breakfast first."

……

After breakfast, Chao An summoned Carter, the coachman, and told him to prepare the carriage. This time, Chester and Elsa also wanted to go to church to pray. The carriage was not enough, but fortunately, the carriage was big enough for three people. A group of people quickly boarded the carriage and rushed to the chapel in the manor.

Riddle Manor is an old manor, all the buildings are well preserved, especially the church, which is said to be blessed by the gods, has been repaired and renovated many times, but since the Earl of Sheffield became the new owner of the manor, the church It became a decoration.

The Earl of Sheffield had never stepped into the church once, and he didn't allow Angelet to go. He didn't even bring the servants in the manor with him.

What contradicts the Earl of Sheffield's behavior is that religious paintings can be seen everywhere in the castle, such as the picture of "God saves the world" on the ceiling of Chaoan's bedroom, which is the illustration drawn by Dean on the first page of "Book of Salvation". An important proof of the greatness of the true God preached.

Without faith, yet so many traces of religion appeared in the manor, Chaoan didn't know what the earl of Sheffield was trying to hide, but he knew that the Dean religion had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, only around him, except for Chester Fantastic believers like Ersa, the rest of Kathy, the judge and the baron are all Dean believers.

The people of Doin Kingdom believe in the "True God" even more than they agree with the political power. Believers of Deanism can be found in every corner of the kingdom. A bard once said that a city can have no walls, but it must have a church.This shows the influence of the Dean religion.

Because of the Earl of Sheffield, Chao An knew little about the Dean Cult, and even learned the name from Kathy. Perhaps he could learn more about it by going to the church this time.

The church is in the opposite direction of the racecourse, and it took about three hourglasses to arrive. After Arthur stopped the carriage, Chao An got out of the carriage, and what appeared in front of him was a white and gold building. This is the only place in the whole manor.

The chapel is closed all year round, there is no priest, and only the maid comes to clean it once a week, and no one is there at other times.

Chaoan asked Arthur to open the door of the church, and what appeared in front of everyone was an empty hall, with sunlight shining in through the golden glass windows, making the whole church look sacred and peaceful.

On the high platform in the center is a white statue of a man holding a sword. It is the "true god" Gairroth, who beheaded his twin brother, the demon lord Shermos, and saved the world from destruction. , So he was revered as "the savior".

After seeing the statue, both Chester and Ersa showed excited expressions. They clasped their hands and prayed devoutly. Kathy and others hurriedly followed suit, while Chaoan picked up the "Book of Salvation" placed under the statue. 》, opened the title page, and saw the picture of "God saves the world" appeared on the page, with a short sentence written underneath

-The end of life is the new life.

This sentence is very interesting, because only ghosts think this way. If it is in the underworld or Rasheng City, it is true, but for human beings, death is death, and those who believe it are fools. It is a pity that this is the case Fools abound in Doin.

Chao An turned a few more pages, all of which were words praising Gelros. Chao An felt that it was boring, so he closed the pages and put them back at the foot of the statue. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a slight sound above his head. , Chao An raised his head, and saw the epee, which was taller than him, loosen from the statue's hand and fell towards him.

"..."

The epee fell towards Chao'an, the distance was too close, Chao'an had no time to dodge, a strong wind rushed past, Arthur appeared in front of Chao'an, he took Chao'an into his arms, raised his arms to resist, and again The spine of the sword hit Arthur's arm, and Chaoan heard a slight bone dislocation sound.

boom--

The blocked epee fell to the floor, cracking the corner of the tile. There was a deathly silence in the church, followed by the panicked voices of others.

"Oh my god, Angelet, are you alright?" Kathy ran over first, and accidentally knocked the "Book of Salvation" to the ground. She didn't care to pick it up, but just stared at Chao'an anxiously.

"I'm fine." Chao'an's expression remained calm, "Cousin Kathy, please go and inform Carter that Arthur is injured, and I will take him back to the castle immediately."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

……

After two hourglass hours, the coachman sent Chaoan, Arthur and Chester back to the castle.

In the living room, Chester found a medicine box to check Arthur's arm. After a long time, he slowly said, "The right arm is fractured, and there is a slight dislocation. You can't use this hand to pick up heavy objects for a month."

While Chester was talking, he fixed Arthur's arm with a splint. Arthur nodded expressionlessly, as if he was not the one who was injured.

"It's really strange to say that, the statue stood upright, how could the sword fall down?" Chester muttered, thinking it was an ominous omen. "Is there really a ghost in the manor?"

Standing beside Arthur, Chao An glanced at Arthur's injured arm, his eyes darkened slightly.

ghost

Qiqi, who was wandering in the manor at this time, felt a chill down his back.
