Anchor, your box lunch is here

Bellamy's screams caught the attention of others, and everyone in the living room immediately ran upstairs, running in the front. After seeing Bellamy, the judge quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Mrs. Elsa, she's dead." Bellamy stepped aside to open the bedroom door behind her, and everyone saw Ersa lying on the ground with a stiff expression and posture.

Chester squatted down, probed Ersa's carotid artery with his fingers, and checked her fingertips and mouth, and found that her fingertips and lips had turned black, and there was an obvious foreign object protruding from her throat. So he said lightly, "I have been dead for at least two hours. The cause of death is suffocation caused by swallowing foreign objects and blocking the airway."

"What did she eat? Could it be the sweet pearl soup?" The judge asked hesitantly when he saw the large empty bowl on the dressing table.

"No, it's a necklace, her pearl necklace." Chester pinched Kelsa's mouth, and a string of pearls could still be seen in his throat.

"My God, how could she swallow such a string of things?" Kathy covered her mouth, the pearl necklace is not small, it is difficult to swallow a whole string, "and why did Ersa do this?"

Chester shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Angelet had just died not long ago, and now that Ersa had died again, the situation in the castle became more and more confusing, and everyone felt heavy hearted.

"It's the ghosts, it must be the ghosts coming back for revenge!" Kathy yelled, Ersa's death made her more convinced of the existence of ghosts, and these ghosts wanted to kill them!

Realizing this, Kathy became terrified. She covered her cheeks and squatted on the ground, her shoulders trembling. The Baron stood beside her, with a sullen face and did not speak.

Chester was the calmest among the group of people. It was his wife who died, but he didn't show the slightest sadness. Such a cold person made the judges on the side startled.

"I'll try again to see if I can leave the manor, Baron Villiers, take Miss Kathy back to her room to rest first." The judge bid farewell to everyone and left the castle again, this time with Carter, the coachman.

But the final result was obvious. They returned to the gate of the castle. The whole manor seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious force. The space was distorted here. They couldn't leave the manor without solving this mysterious force.

Everyone spent the afternoon anxiously, and the fourth night came.

clang--

……

The scene changed, Chao An's figure appeared in the garden, and he heard crying.

Opening his eyes, the door of the banquet hall was open, and all the nobles rushed out, and there happened to be a door leading to the outside of the castle where he was floating.

The nobles passed through Chao An's body, opened the door in panic, and kept calling for the guards, and finally, the guards appeared.

Thousands of guards appeared outside the gate, and surrounded the castle layer by layer. The nobleman who ran at the front was ecstatic when he saw this scene. He felt that he was saved, and immediately grabbed the arm of the front guard. , Let them hurry to deal with the three culprits.

The head of the guard waved his hand expressionlessly, and a knife pierced the nobleman's chest without warning. The nobleman's eyes widened and he fell down in disbelief. He didn't expect that these guards would dare to kill the nobleman. , are they crazy?

The same scene happened in all directions of the castle, but all the nobles who escaped from the castle fell under the long swords of the guards. They did not die at the hands of the murderers, but at the hands of their own people.

The nobles screamed and cursed to hang the following guards, but they still couldn't stop the long knives from piercing their chests. Even if someone could resist, they would soon die under the siege of the guards.

Floating in the sky, Chaoan watched the bloody massacre of these thousand guards. It could be seen that the weapons these guards usually used were not knives, but swords and other weapons that were good at piercing, so they seldom used chopping. They were in a similar posture, but at this time they deliberately changed to a knife. The purpose is self-evident, which can explain why Chao An saw all knife marks on the corpse.

Of those nobles who died, only a small part should have been killed by murderers, and the rest were killed by these guards.

Yeah, of course the guards don't show up, because they're executioners too!

Not only the nobles, but even the servants failed to escape the fate of being killed, and they all fell at the gate of the castle.After the people who escaped were dealt with, some of the guards stayed and continued to guard to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, while the other part dragged the corpses on the ground back to the castle and threw them into the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was filled with dense corpses, and the blood was dragged from the garden all the way to the banquet hall, even the soil was soaked red. The red roses that bloomed on the soil absorbed the nutrients in the blood, and the flowers that bloomed were more beautiful than the last ones.

Chaoan returned to the banquet hall. At this time, the banquet hall was silent, even the sound of the rain was quiet. He suddenly wanted to know what Duke Riddle was doing at this time. What is he doing?

Chao An floated towards the study room, the door of the study room was closed tightly, Chao An penetrated through the door, and saw the corpses of several great nobles lying on the ground with a bloodstain on their necks, all of them were planning to conspire with Duke Riddle to deal with it The Goldthorn Queen's people, now their results show that their plan has been aborted.

Duke Riddle is not here, where did he go?

Chaoan's body floated across the castle, but he didn't see Duke Riddle, which made him feel puzzled. Finally, Chaoan remembered that there was another place in the castle, and that was the only place he hadn't been to. Riddle There is a good chance the duke has gone somewhere.

basement.

As soon as Chao An came to the entrance of the basement, he saw Duke Riddle fighting with the three murderers. He should have wanted to enter the basement, but he was blocked at the door. Duke Riddle had to stop and deal with the three murderers first. .

The Duke of Riddle is a nobleman who was killed on the battlefield. Even the three murderers dare not face his fierceness. Along the way, he fought and retreated. "Shemos" turned into a fierce sword in his hands, carrying With the supreme killing intent.

But Chao'an noticed something was wrong. Duke Riddle looked crazy, his eyes were bloodshot, clearly showing that he had lost his mind, and this was most likely the trick of the people behind the scenes.

Duke Riddle and the three thugs fought and retreated, and gradually approached the living room. Chaoan had already seen the following things in the previous "dream". Duke Riddle finally exhausted his strength and was beheaded by the three thugs. Lowering his head, he didn't plan to follow the past to see it again. Now Chao'an is more interested in the basement.

What made Duke Riddle come to this basement without even caring about the safety of the Duchess?What is in this basement?

In reality, the basement is a place that Chaoan seldom goes to. The Earl of Sheffield built the collection room in the basement, and here, the basement obviously represents other meanings.

Chao An walked through the deep and cold corridor, and came to a dark door. Behind the door was the collection room of the Earl of Sheffield. The scene in the basement was beyond Zhao An's expectations, and it was no different from what he saw in reality. The later remodelers seem to have avoided this place on purpose.

There was a faint sound of singing from inside the gate, and someone was in the collection room.

Chao'an's soul passed through the gate without hindrance, and then he saw a strange scene. In an empty room, eight candles were lit on the surrounding walls. The candles flickered from time to time, making the room bright and dark.

On the dark marble floor in the center, a complex figure was outlined with blood, which seemed to be some kind of formation.Eight men in red robes stood at the corners of the formation, with strange blood-colored lines painted on their faces, holding a pendant in the shape of a goat's horn on their chests, and singing something in their mouths.

And in the center of the formation, lay a blond old woman. The old woman was wearing a gorgeous dress and a crown on her head. Chao'an recognized that it was a crown that only the queen of the Doin Kingdom could wear.

As far as Chaoan knew, Queen Golden Thorn had been in power for more than 50 years, and this incident happened ten years ago, so the old lady in front of her should be the Queen Golden Thorn who won the favor of the common people with her benevolence and elegance.

Standing beside the queen was a man covered in a black hooded robe. The man's face was hidden in the hood, and he could not see his face. He was holding a "Book of Salvation" in his hand, so These people should largely be members of Deanism.

"Bishop Roman, let's get started."

Queen Goldthorn's old voice sounded in the space, and the man in black robe called "Bishop Roman" in front of her nodded, scratched his fingers and wrote a rune on the queen's forehead, and then began to chant.

What he recited was an ancient prophecy, which was passed down in the era of "True God". Chaoan couldn't understand it, but he could detect the energy changes in the room.

With the activation of the formation, some kind of red energy gathered from all directions of the manor, entered the formation, and then sent it into the body of the golden thorn flower queen through the formation.

Under the nourishment of this energy, Queen Goldenthorn's old body began to rejuvenate. The specific manifestation was that the wrinkled and loose skin began to tighten and regain its luster, the long golden hair became soft and smooth, and her vitality continued to increase.

Seeing this scene, Chao An finally understood the function of this formation—relying on blood sacrifice to prolong life. It is very sought after by the rulers, so it is not unusual for the queen of golden thorns to do so.

According to Chaoan's guess, the story should go like this: Queen Goldthorn was ambitious to rule the Doin Kingdom for a long time, so she teamed up with the bishop of the Dean Sect, and planned to use a large number of civilian blood sacrifices to increase her lifespan.

This matter was known by the Duke of Riddle. The Duke thought that such an approach was too cruel, so he planned to unite with the nobles to stop the queen. As a result, the queen knew about this in advance because of the informant of the second and fifth son, Baron Sheffield.

Out of dissatisfaction with Duke Riddle's opposition to her and fear of the Duke's power, the Queen decided to take care of the Duke first, and thus the massacre that took place in the Riddle Manor.

Those nobles who died were all close to Duke Riddle. The queen not only used this to remove people from the line of Duke Riddle, but also used these people to complete the blood sacrifice ceremony, killing two birds with one stone.

And Duke Riddle not only failed to stop the queen, but also caught up with his teammates and the whole family, so the conclusion is that the Duke is really miserable!
