Anchor, your box lunch is here

Chapter 29 Riddle Manor

"Are the eyes of this painting originally opened?" The judge looked at the others suspiciously. The baron shook his head blankly. He didn't know whether the eyes of this painting were open or closed.

"What about you, Chester? Don't you remember?" Chester's calmness made the judge feel reliable, but Chester still shook his head. It's not that he didn't remember, but he didn't know the painting at all. exist.

Then, Chester went to Kathy's body and checked briefly to confirm that she had lost too much blood and there was no trace of a second person around. If it wasn't that Kathy was crazy, it was another masterpiece of ghosts. .

"Kathy is right, the ghosts in this manor want to kill us." The judge's tone was heavy. Today is Kathy, and no one knows who it will be tomorrow, which makes them feel a sense of crisis .

"Kathy is dead, what should we do now?" the baron asked in a deep voice.

"No matter what, let's get out of here first." The judge asked the baron to pick up Kathy's body, send her body back to the room, and then left the basement with everyone.

In the living room, everyone was eating food that could not be said to be breakfast or lunch, because it was already noon after such a delay.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very dull. Compared to when they first moved into the manor, there were already three empty seats on the table.Both the judge and the baron looked preoccupied, but Chester's expression was fairly calm.

"Chester, you don't seem worried?"

"Of course, I pray every day."

"Does prayer work?"

"As long as you are devout enough, the 'True God' will hear you."

"..."

The judge couldn't understand such a fanatical believer as Chester. The only one he was loyal to was the Queen of Goldthorn. After a brief conversation, the two ended the conversation.

After the meal, the judge went around the castle as usual, and after confirming that he still could not leave the manor, everyone went back to their rooms, leaving only Arthur in the living room.

Arthur went into the garden, cut off a bouquet of the best red roses himself, carefully shaved off the thorns, and went back to the living room.

At this time, Chao An was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting his mind. Compared with the complex relationship between characters in the other world, the outside world was too simple, and he didn't have to float around all day long.

Arthur brought the rose in front of Chaoan, and said softly, "Master, you are as dazzling as this rose, so I will pick it for you."

"..." Chao An opened his eyes and looked at Arthur with an unfathomable expression. He felt that his servant seemed to have activated some strange skills.

In terms of expressing emotions, Westerners are too straightforward compared to Easterners' reservedness. If you change the object and the environment, it's actually quite romantic, but...

Chao'an looked down at the floor beneath his feet that was seeping blood due to the fusion of the inner and outer worlds, and looked at the black shadows that appeared on the wall from time to time. He felt that such an environment probably, perhaps, might not be suitable for the exchange of feelings.

……

"My old man comes from afar" Everyone else is running for their lives, but Arthur is flirting with ghosts, isn't he so beautiful...

"If you are a pig, you have to look like a pig." Puhaha... The anchor's expression seems to be caring for zz.

"Little cutie in class two of the third year" fell in love in this kind of place, why do I feel a little exciting?

Is it an appointment before "eat your rice"?I am waiting for you at the grave.

"Little cutie in class two, three years" go away!

"Why can't it be curly hair?" The anchor has always been very calm, feeling as if he lacks a muscle, only when he is with Arthur is he more like a normal ghost.

"Cat and Little Sun" what the hell is a normal ghost...

……

"Have you nothing else to do?"

"Without your order, young master, there is only one thing I need to do."

"what?"

"Stay with you."

"..."

After Chaoan and Arthur looked at each other for tens of seconds, Chaoan took the bouquet of roses, and fiddled with the petals with his fingers, it was really pretty.

Then Chaoan leaned on the sofa with a rose in his arms and continued to close his eyes to rest his mind. Arthur sat beside him, took out a thick account book, and began to settle the accounts.

No one showed up until night fell, and Bellamy and Arthur delivered the dinner to their respective rooms.

At midnight, the wall clock struck again.

……

A white line appeared on the horizon, the night receded like a tide, the banquet hall that had been burning for an hour was extinguished, and the soldiers shuttled through the messy castle, looking for possible survivors.

No, not a single one, more than 100 nobles died overnight.

The judge commanded the soldiers to gather the corpses together and counted their respective identities. Some of the corpses were charred and their faces could no longer be recognized. If they were nobles, they would always wear some unique accessories. It's hard to tell who's who.

An hour later, the judge got the preliminary statistical data. He walked through layers of soldiers to come to a carriage parked in a remote place, and said respectfully through the window, "Your Majesty, two servants are missing. body, whose identity cannot be ascertained, all the nobles on the other lists are dead."

The person in the carriage gave a "hmm", and then said lazily, "You should know how to deal with it."

The judge hurriedly lowered his head, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will place all the blame on those three robbers who broke into the manor by accident, and issue a wanted warrant."

"You don't need to trouble your majesty to look for it. I caught the three robbers." Baron Sheffield's voice came from behind the judge, and then he walked to the side of the carriage and gave a noble salute.

"Meet Her Majesty the Queen."

"You caught someone?"

"Yes, but..." Baron Sheffield showed annoyance, and continued, "The three robbers resisted fiercely when they were captured. For the life of the guards, I had to order the arrows to be released. They were already dead by the random arrows." bingo."

Baron Sheffield nodded to the guard not far away, and the six guards immediately carried three bloody corpses forward, and saw that there were many arrows stuck in the bodies and faces of the corpses, and it was impossible to distinguish the specifics. face.

Looking at the corpse, the judge frowned, but quickly eased his expression, and said, "Your Highness, since the perpetrator has been brought to justice, there is no need to issue an arrest warrant."

"Of course it will be issued, and the reward must be high. In a few days, three people will be hanged in front of the public, so as to tell them what will happen to them if they offend the nobles." Baron Sheffield said with a smile.

"This..." The judge was a little embarrassed.

"According to what Baron Sheffield said, these robbers dared to break into the duke's mansion and commit such a tragedy. We should really warn those civilians." The faint voice of Queen Goldthorn came from the carriage. The judge nodded and led Ordered to leave for work.

"Sheffield, you did a good job this time." The Queen of Goldthorn praised Baron Sheffield, and Baron Sheffield immediately showed an excited expression.

"It is my duty to share the worries of Her Royal Highness."

"Okay, the edict to promote your title will come down tomorrow, as long as you do things for me with peace of mind, I will not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen."

Chaoan floated behind Baron Sheffield, and seeing his unremitting loyalty, he finally understood why Baron Sheffield was able to win the queen's favor, and changed from a baron to an earl in just ten years. In addition to being proficient, Baron Sheffield himself is also an old fox.

The farce planned by the queen of golden thorn flower came to an end. She ordered the coachman to leave for the palace. When she passed by Chaoan, the breeze lifted the curtains, revealing the figure of the queen in the carriage.

She was wearing a long black dress and a black decorative top hat on her head. There was a circle of black silk mesh on the edge of the top hat, which covered the queen's eyebrows and eyes, revealing only her white and smooth cheeks and small chin.The queen's lips were painted with bright red lip balm, and just raising her chin inadvertently gave people an unparalleled beauty.

Beautiful women are not scary, what is scary are beautiful and cruel and unscrupulous women.

Queen Goldenthorn is clearly in the latter category.

……

Queen Goldthorn's carriage disappeared at the end of the street. Baron Sheffield walked towards his carriage with a smile. Three guards stood around the carriage and waited for him. Their faces were familiar to Ann. They were Bellamy, Cook and Carter. And there was a bloodstain on Carter's cheek.

"Go back to the baron's mansion."

The Baron of Sheffield got into the carriage, Carter took the driver's seat, Bellamy and Cook sat on both sides of him, Carter drove the carriage to the baron's mansion, and as he raised his whip, the The machete at his waist protruded from under his jacket, and the blade was still stained with blood.

Seeing this scene, Chaoan saw that the faces of the young Carter and the little old man in the watch world overlapped in front of him, and the newly added bloodstain on his face turned into an old scar. human dialogue.

Chao'an noticed the scar on Carter's face when he first met him. Carter told him that he was drawn by a noble because he made a mistake when he was young.But now Zhao An knew that the scar was left by Arthur. When Arthur took him to run into the backyard of the kitchen that night, Carter chased after him. Arthur left a bloodstain on his face with a table knife.

So the identities of the three murderers who broke into the castle were actually three servants with a low sense of existence in the manor. They were notorious thieves, but they were later subdued by the Baron Sheffield and have been helping the Baron Sheffield.They showed humility and cowardice, but their hands were covered with the blood of innocent people. They even beheaded the Duke after his death, just as easily as Bellamy chopped off the head of a rabbit.

This incident gave Chaoan a warning, never underestimate anyone in the live broadcast world!

In fact, this is also a part of Baron Sheffield's plan. He led three murderers into the Duke's mansion, not only giving the queen a scapegoat for the tragedy, but also leaving a retreat for himself. If he fell to the end of Duke Riddle that day, These three "true culprits" are the bargaining chips for him to negotiate with the Queen.

Seeing this, Chao An thought that the Earl of Sheffield and the Queen would be the biggest winners of this tragedy, but the matter was far from over.

"There are still people alive!"

Surprised cries from the soldiers came from the castle, and Chao An hurriedly floated over. He saw the soldiers open the cellar door of the conservatory and rescued Kathy, Villiers, and Angelet who were hiding inside. She was terrified, especially the young Angelet, whose cat eyes were full of fear.

The soldiers took the three of them out and prepared to settle the three nobles first. The moment they stepped out of the castle, Angelet fainted without warning.

Seeing this scene, Chaoan's face immediately changed. The soldiers couldn't see it, but he could sense it. At this moment, countless black energies rushed towards Anglie from all directions of the manor, rushing into Ange In Lie's body, Angelet was almost wrapped into a black cocoon, which was the same energy that Chaoan had absorbed from the dead Ersa and Kathy.

Angelet is just a human being, how could he absorb this kind of energy that contained a strong breath of death?

Moreover, Chaoan noticed that all these energies were concentrated in Angelet's heart, eroding his heart, maybe this is how his heart disease came about.

This was not the only thing that surprised Chaoan. During the commotion, Arthur pushed aside the crowd and appeared beside Angelet. He picked up Angelet's body and put it on the carriage beside him, and fed Angelet some fresh water. After pouring out the red liquid, Angelet slowly woke up.

Angelet opened his eyes, looking at Arthur in front of him, the first thing he said was "Who are you?"

Hearing these words, Chao An was shocked. Could it be that Angelet didn't know Arthur at all at this time?Then why did Arthur appear when he entered the inner world for the first time, and at that time he called him...Master?

Chao An's gaze was too shocked to hide it, Arthur seemed to sense it, he turned his head, his eyes collided with Chao An, revealing some inexplicable meaning.

So, who is the biggest winner?
