What to do if your crush is the Earl

On the way back, there was only the rustling of people walking.

The young adjutant of the governor's mansion who had been by Martin's side volunteered to come forward.

With Martin as the center, the lights are all concentrated together.Looking from a distance, it is a cluster of shaking and warm candles in the dark night, walking slowly between the cliffs.

There were occasional nocturnal fruit bats flying by people's side, and Xiao Sheng blocked it for Martin.

"Go your way," Martin said.The path here is narrow, and only one or two people can pass through. If you don't pay attention to your movements, you may fall down the dark slopes on both sides.

"Thank you sir for your concern." Xiao Sheng smiled.That smile melted into the night, making one's heart skip a beat.

Martin: "..." Who cares about you anymore.

He turned his head, but subconsciously grabbed Xiao Sheng's arm in the next second.

"Sir, be careful." Xiao Sheng's softer voice came.

Martin: "..." He continued to walk forward sullenly.The others didn't notice the slight abnormality on their side, they all looked at the road under their feet.

The mutation happened suddenly, and a scream came from the front.

The voice sounded like the adjutant of the chief official's mansion, people piled on top of each other, and the situation ahead couldn't be understood for a while.

Martin asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Someone...someone fell!!" There was a somewhat messy voice in front.

Two oil lamps were handed over, and the lights brightened at once, and the people behind could see clearly that there was a person lying on the front slope.To be precise, the young adjutant was dragged by Brado so hard that he fell on the edge of the slope. Now his entire head is lower than the roadbed, and Brado's hands are slowly slipping, obviously not so easily was pulled up.

"The soil is slippery..." The voice of the crowd was a little frightened.

"Let him go down!" There was that overly calm voice again, "Nine times out of ten there are piles of dirt below, let him go down and find another way out."

Brado heard this, and slowly let go of the adjutant's hand. After a while of sliding, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"How are you?" Brado asked from a distance.

"It's... not bad." The young adjutant's voice came from below, somewhat exhausted.

"Give him a lamp," said Martin.

An oil lamp was thrown down slowly, and was quickly caught by the young adjutant: "Lord Shessard." He did not forget the hippie and said flatteringly.

He lifted the lamp to illuminate his eyes, and found something was wrong after a few seconds.

"This is………"

The people above naturally saw it too.

On the other side of the bottom of the pit is a cliff. Near the edge of the cliff, there is a triangular cone-shaped stone platform, piled up layer by layer, about three meters long, hidden behind lush green trees.

When they came, they didn't notice the abnormality here. During the day, it looked like a very normal grove.

But at this moment, under the illumination of the light, the rock wall of the triangular pile emits a shimmering fluorescent light, which becomes very conspicuous in the dark night.

I didn't expect such a different kind of building to exist here.

"Kumbu, what are you doing?" Another attendant from the Chief's Mansion asked.

"I'll go...to have a look." The young adjutant walked there as if possessed by a demon.

Xiao Sheng on the road frowned, leaning closer to Martin.

"gentlemen……"

Martin looked back at him and said with a smile, "Why, are you afraid?"

Xiao Sheng looked at him, his eyes moved, and he nodded.

"It's okay, you forgot? We have a lot of people. It's impossible to blow up a white-haired corpse in this wilderness."

"........."

Under the light, Xiao Sheng's face seemed to turn paler.

"Hahahahaha," Martin withdrew his joking thoughts, held his hand, and softly comforted him, "It's okay." In the blue eyes, there was a little familiar tenderness again.

Xiao Sheng nodded, and when Martin turned his head to look down the slope, there was a little joy in his eyes. He carefully felt the temperature of that hand, remembering the loss he imagined after it left, and his eyes were a little absent-minded. .

"—Oh my god, look what I found?!" Adjutant Kumbu suddenly shouted under the slope.

Before the crowd could react, Kumbu had already stumbled back: "My lord, there seems to be a..."

"What is it? Why is the adjutant speaking out of breath?" Prado actually teased him.

Kunbu calmed down his emotions, and said: "I don't know how to describe it. The stone cone is just a small roof. The real main body of the building is on the edge of the cliff. If you don't believe me, come down and see for yourself!!"

???

Several people on the ridge looked at each other in blank dismay.

"You won't lie to us to go down because you can't get up?" someone doubted.

"I swear." Adjutant Kunbu clenched his fists to his chest with a serious face.

Kumbu is a believer, and this is a very solemn swearing ceremony in religion.

In the silence of the crowd, Martin had already made up his mind, but he still asked Prado first: "Mr. Inspector, look..."

Prado also thought about it: "The injured and those who want to go back go first, and the rest stay. Let's go down and have a look."

If there is no result in searching around, how can it be possible to give up the sudden abnormality.

The person who had just spoken in the Chief Executive’s Mansion stayed, and so did Brado.Investigators from two police stations also stayed behind, and they took on the tasks assigned to them by the sheriff.

The wounded entourage left with several others who wanted to quit.

"Very well, there are seven people left." Martin glanced at the remaining people, with a smile on his face.He was wearing a dark leather long coat with a slightly turned-out stand-up collar. He was tall and straight.Outsiders can tell at a glance who is the leader of this small team.

"My lord, I think we need to leave a person to guard and watch the situation above, just in case." Brado suggested.

"Then who is left?"

"Let Downey come." Brado finished speaking, and a small policeman stood up.

Brado explained: "He guarded the lonely tomb on the outskirts of the city with his father since he was a child, and he is not afraid of these." Naturally, he is not afraid of being alone in the darkness where people can easily think about it.

"it is good."

After deploying the personnel, several people slid down the slope slowly.

When it was Martin's turn, the shallow grooves in the wall were almost finished.

Xiao Sheng stood below and continued: "If you are afraid, please jump off. I will catch you."

The people below looked at him with sparkling eyes, as if they had discovered something interesting.

Martin: "..."

Can you save him some face, this man...

Well, the person who wanted to save face was picked up by Xiao Sheng in the end, and he almost kissed his arms head-on when he fell to the ground. The two looked at each other, and the sparks flashed. Martin quickly moved his eyes away, covered his mouth and kissed him gently. He groaned twice.

"My lord, this way please." Kumbu led the way again.

Everyone slowly approached the small stone cone, brushing away the jungle branches and leaves. The closer they got, the closer the sound of the waves and tides would be.

When they finally got there, the sea was just tens of meters below.

"It seems that we have reached the other end of the island." Martin said.

There are tens of meters of cliffs here, and it is still in such a rugged and deep jungle that almost no one comes here on weekdays.

This side is facing the side of the mainland that goes deep into the sea. The curtain blue of the sky in the distance and the dark blue of the sea are mixed together, like a star curtain belonging to the universe.The little waves of light are rippling on the sea, spreading and converging, which is the reflection of the lonely moon, and other scattered lights around may be fishing boats on a long voyage, or luminous creatures in the sea.

"It's so beautiful..." I don't know who sighed.

Everyone was stunned for a while before remembering the purpose of their trip. They looked at the rock wall under the stone platform, and they were even more shocked now.

"It's a temple..." Martin was a little speechless.

Inverted triangular multiple vaults, [-] stone pillars stand on the top, in the moonlight, the whole is nested in the rock wall of the cliff, like a palace in the sky.

Legend has it that there are relics of ancient temples in Banser Stone Forest, and it seems to be true.

"It turns out that the real ruins are not the stone forest, but here." Another entourage of the chief official's mansion sighed.

"There is a hidden reef near the island. Merchant ships and warships have never been close to it, but I didn't expect such... amazing things to be hidden." Brado said.

"But, this temple is built at this location, how do we get in?" Adjutant Khumbu asked.

"No, maybe I have to ask, how did the people who built the temple get in and out?" Xiao Sheng said, "After the temple is built, how will the people who use it get in and out? ——Am I right? gentlemen?"

Martin looked at him with deep eyes, and nodded.

----

The southwest suburb of the Acropolis.

The manor house of the Wendy family.

The young man with light brown hair and blue eyes stopped in front of a painting in front of the hall.

A waiter slowly came up behind him and gently reminded: "Master Ruier, the master asked you to find him in the study on the second floor."

The young man looking at the painting turned around and said, "I see."

The Wendy family's mansion is a long building with one hall and two wings. It turns up from the grand staircase in the middle, and the corridors on both sides connect different rooms.

The large study is at the end of the right wing.

The young man stopped in front of the door, waited for a while, and then slowly knocked on the door.

"Father."

"Come in." A majestic and deep voice came from inside.

"What did you say?" The young man looked at his father in shock.

"Don't tell anyone about this in advance, only you know and I know, and your two brothers, don't tell." The man called the father by the youth is slightly fat, wearing a new-style waistcoat shirt, sitting on the chair behind the desk On the ground, he looked at the young man in front of him with stern and kind eyes, "I still trust you, Riel."

"I know, father."

The man behind the desk squinted his eyes and looked at the long grille-like glass window: "Let's stand still and see what Fancheng will do."

"Yes." Riel bowed his head.

"Ah, by the way, where's your old friend from before?" The man paused for a while, then suddenly remembered this, and slowly laughed.

"You mean Earl Sade?" Riel frowned, a little disgusted with the word man, but after a while, he lowered his head and said respectfully, "... Odin, he has disappeared since Fancheng.—— But I should be able to get in touch with him," he added.

"Very good." The man smiled, "Riel, you have always been a child I value very much. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts in training."

"I... will." Riel said.

"Okay, you go down." The man seemed to lose interest in the conversation very quickly, and the smile on his face also slowly disappeared.

The young man bid farewell, bowed slowly and withdrew.

When closing the door, he held the doorknob for a long, long time, until his fingers turned red, and then he slowly let go, a trace of hatred flashed across his well-proportioned and handsome face.
