They all call me master

When Arthur's face showed surprise and then turned solemn, Zebulon couldn't hold it in any longer.

Because, the police chief of Jiaershan Town vaguely felt that something that looked like fingers and claws was approaching his neck.

"not me!"

"The disappearance of that traveling trader team had nothing to do with me - I had some thoughts about them at the time, but when I arrived with my people, there was no one there!

Walker and Crick can testify for me! "

As he said that, the police sergeant looked at the other two fourth-level police officers.

The two fourth-level police officers nodded immediately, their eyes filled with horror.

At this moment, when [Hand of Nothingness] was approaching faintly, they finally knew why Sheriff Zebulon peed.

Is this the revenge of the dead?

The speculations welling up in their hearts made the two fourth-level police officers speak immediately.

"Yes, when we arrived, no one was there.

Moreover, the place is very clean.

There was no fighting and no blood. "

said Constable 4 Walker, who also serves as coroner.

"Afterwards, I took people to check the surroundings and found nothing. There were no drag marks or footprints. It had just rained heavily at the time. I remember it very clearly."

Another Constable IV, who also serves as deputy chief of police, added.

Immediately afterwards, someone among the patrol officers also spoke.

Word by word, you pieced together the story of the 'disappearance' of the merchant team three years ago for Arthur.

Observe the expressions of these people carefully.

Even without using [piercing eyes] and [kind words and expressions], Arthur could confirm that these people were not lying.

Under the threat of 'revenge of the dead souls', these people even told them the color of their underwear.

As for everyone in the Jialshan Town Police Department being involved in what happened three years ago?

Arthur was not surprised by this.

A team of merchants who do not live in the town but are still camping outside the town is a fat sheep with a rare opportunity in everyone's eyes, but this fat sheep has horns.

A team of 20 people must be equipped with weapons, and they are not something that can be eaten casually.

In order to capture this team, everyone in the Jiaershan Town Police Station must take action.

Similarly, it is precisely because the opportunity is rare that it means it is rare. Therefore, Arthur did not specifically refer to the team of merchants from three years ago, but directly replaced it with a team of merchants.

What if the caravans disappeared one after another?

impossible.

If the caravans disappeared one after another, it would not be possible for a Jiaershan Town Sheriff to suppress the matter.

Considering how seriously the Earl of Nanlos attached importance to taxation, he had already sent an 'imperial envoy' to investigate the matter.

‘There is no direct relationship between the people in the police station and the disappearance of the caravan, which means that the disappearance of the caravan may be related to the ‘Ymir Manor’.

Coupled with the three dead 'spiritual mediums' and the 'curse' of so many years...

Things are getting interesting. ’

Arthur thought this in his heart, but there was nothing strange about his expression.

He remained serious and said——

"Prepare me a salt brick and oil sword."

"ah?"

Zebulon looked confused.

"Coarse salt, brick powder, kerosene, iron sword."

"The brick powder needs to be ground from prosperous red bricks. Go quickly."

Arthur explained.

If you want to act, you have to do the whole thing.

Moreover, this also buys him some time.

"Go guard the basement entrance."

Arthur ordered Simon, Hunter and Newt.

After everyone left, Arthur controlled Fujin and flew to the 'Ymir Manor' - Ymir Manor was not in the town of Jia'er Mountain, but on a mountainside 15 kilometers away from the town. You need to pass through a long and narrow mountain stream to reach it.

But with Fujin's wings, there is no need to be so troublesome.

With a flutter of wings, it flew into the sky and then flew straight across the ridge.

With the help of Fujin's eyes, Arthur looked at the pit and then at the 'Ymir Manor' halfway up the mountain, but he was secretly surprised.

This terrain is too easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It doesn't take much. As long as ten people are posted to guard the entrance of the mountain stream, even hundreds of people will not be able to attack.

The mountain stream is so narrow that no matter how many people come, only 2-3 people can pass through it side by side.

And crossing the mountain stream?

Not possible either.

The continuous mountains make the surrounding area extremely steep.

Arthur clearly remembered that Malinda's report to him mentioned that the 'Ymir Manor' was built by Fritz for his wife Ymir.

‘Shouldn’t we choose a place with a beautiful environment to build?

Why does it feel like building a military fortress?

Is it because of the war that year? ’

Arthur thought in his heart and asked Fu Jin to rise again.

Later, he confirmed his suspicion.

Looking down from a high place, except for the mountain stream road that enters 'Ymir Manor', there are hidden 'posts' on the surrounding walls - although they are hidden with moss and stone walls, they cannot be hidden. Fokine's eyes.

It's obvious that this place is really a building similar to a military fortress.

Then, Arthur suddenly thought of something——

After the death of Fritz Ymir and his wife, because they had no heirs, the 'Ymir Manor' was inherited by a distant nephew, and this distant nephew encountered misfortune while mountaineering.

‘The mountains the other party climbed are not the mountains around Ymir Manor, right? ’

Arthur began to have doubts in his heart at this moment.

Fujin had already started flying around the Ymir Manor.

'Ymir Manor' is more dilapidated than expected. The exterior wall of the main building of the manor is covered with plants, the fence gate is full of rust, and the place where the fountain should have been has been replaced by a big tree - look at it. , Arthur determined that this place should have been a fountain before, but because it was in disrepair and damaged, the subsequent owner did not repair it, so he planted this big tree.

The appearance is roughly like this.

What it was like inside, Arthur had no way of knowing.

Moreover, after the accidental death of three 'spiritual mediums', he could not easily let Fu Jin take risks - possessing secret props was enough to show that these three 'spiritual mediums' were mysterious people, and they should be There is something, but these three people died so strangely in the 'Ymir Manor', which is enough to illustrate the danger inside.

After the preliminary investigation, Arthur controlled Fu Jin and began to return to Jialshan Town.

On the way back, Arthur also saw the four young people he had seen before.

The four young people walked briskly, talking and laughing as they walked.

The two men had rabbits and pheasants on their backs.

The two ladies' baskets were also full of wild fruits and vegetables.

It was obvious that the four had a good harvest.

The joy of harvest made the four people returning even happier.

After one glance, Arthur looked away.

After informing Fokine of the warning, Arthur's consciousness returned to the morgue in the basement of the police station. He picked up the kerosene that had been sent before and prepared to burn the "cursed objects" of the three "spiritual mediums" first.

Kerosene gurgled out.

When the match was dropped, the flames shot straight up.

The flickering light caused by the beating of the flames made the young 'psychic medium' squint his eyes.

Then, the young 'psychic medium' thought of something——

wrong!

wrong!

That scene just now was wrong!
