Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 179 What Are You Looking For?

The wind at dusk brushed the tips of the green grass, thick clumps stacked together.The chandelier hanging under the eaves was dimly lit, illuminating the surrounding circles of bushes that gradually fell into shadow.

The creepers were also swaying in the evening wind. As night fell, they seemed to come alive, wriggling in the darkness.The paint on the wall has peeled off in large pieces, revealing a gray background, which is extremely desolate.

It's hard to imagine that such a scene actually belongs to a baron's manor.It is said that it is a haunted house where someone died, and a temporary storage place for necromancers. I am afraid no one will doubt it.

Belinda Sinai walked quickly through the knee-length grass, lamp in one hand and skirt in the other.The grass tip pierced her calf, which was itchy and painful.But she clenched her teeth, bent down amidst the rustling sound, and carefully observed the brown-yellow land among the dense grass.

Early this morning, a few strange people visited the manor and talked with that man for a long time.Belinda knew that whenever this happened, it meant that the man was going to do more.

But she actually doesn't know what her "father" is doing. If the gentleman hadn't told her clearly that the man was not her "father" and promised to give evidence, she might still be ruining herself , hoping to attract his attention in this way in retaliation.

"Oh, sir, sir, I'll prove it to you, I can find evidence!"

The edge of the thin grass scratched her snow-white arm, leaving bloodstains, but she didn't care.She knew there must be something wrong with her cellar.Sometimes, she could even hear strange noises from the cellar on the first floor late at night.

But it is impossible to approach the cellar directly——

It was a restricted area of ​​the family, and was strictly guarded by people. There were not many guards at the gate of the manor, but there were a full 20 people by the cellar steps day and night.And from time to time, strange people wearing masks suddenly appeared, driving away all those who wanted to get close to the cellar.

But the strange thing is that she has never seen anyone other than "Father", and someone came out of it.

Belinda thought about it half the night, and finally could only guess that there was another door that gave access to the cellar somewhere she didn't know.She hoped it was in the manor, so that she would have a chance of finding it, and then pass the news to the "sir".

She just bent down tirelessly, searching in the grass.Search from the most remote corner of the manor to the bottom of the high tower, and from the bottom of the high tower to the rear of the main building.A bird with an unknown name was whimpering and whimpering on the treetops. At some point, her back was soaked in sweat——

Where, where?
She felt waves of dizziness attacking her, and gradually she could not hear various sounds in her ears. She rummaged mechanically, and her five fingers were covered with dark brown mud.

Until her hand suddenly poked a piece of hard, cold metal——

Belinda suddenly cheered up, she quickly straightened up, took two deep breaths of fresh air, and lifted her spirits.Her curly brown hair was stained with sweat on her forehead and face, and she could only turn her head to one side, trying to push the hair off her cheek with her shoulders.

However, at the moment when her head was lowered to her shoulders, she clearly felt that her face was not resting on her shoulders, but resting on three fingers with distinct knuckles!

There is a hand on her shoulder!
Her body became stiff all of a sudden, and her whole body was tense. A layer of cold sweat quickly soaked the clothes on her back, and her muddy hands hung awkwardly. She didn't know what to do, nor did she Know who is behind you.

Then, she heard a hoarse voice from behind:
"Look, a beautiful young lady, what is she looking for? Clack-cluck!"

The hoarse voice suddenly let out a sharp and strange laugh: "Why don't you turn around and take a look? Take a look and see if the one you are looking for is there?"

Belinda felt her chest rise and fall rapidly, and her breathing was extremely disordered. She panted heavily, her mouth was full of sticky saliva and saliva secreted from nervousness——

She was found, she was found, she was found!

With one hand, she quietly touched the satchel close to her body. There was no self-defense weapon in it, only a crossbow bolt—the crossbow bolt from that gentleman.Her fingers gently stroked the shaft of the arrow, and a surge of courage suddenly surged into her heart——

She turned her head abruptly, raised the lantern, and shouted: "I am the baron's daughter, what are you..."

But before she could finish her sentence, she was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she swallowed it:

It was a face with a mask that covered half of his face. The hood covered his hair. There were strange lines drawn on the mask, and inside were a pair of eyes that shone with a faint green light.

And the key is his nose - high and straight, bent into an aquiline, and the skin is full of wrinkles.He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed and rotten teeth with gaps, staring at the girl in front of him with a sinister smile.

But it wasn't this ugly face that really frightened Belinda to the point of losing her ability to speak.

But behind him, on the roof of the main building, a row of people wearing hoods and masks like him squatted at some point.Those green eyes were like a pack of hungry wolves in the dark night, or like will-o'-the-wisps in a graveyard of bones.

And before that, Belinda kept her head down—when were they there?Or, they've been staring at her, but she didn't notice?
"Okay, let's start your actions. As for her... lock her up."

All Belinda heard was a familiar voice in the back of her head, followed by something knocking on the back of her head.

The world was dark.

--------

The moon was not visible this night, and the wind howled, making it a fine day to sneak into the night.

Cyril hesitated whether to visit the baron's manor again.But she had only "visited" in the morning, and Heloise asked such straightforward questions, which could easily arouse the Baron's vigilance.

What's more, he just caused chaos in the manor last night, and if he goes again tonight, it is very likely that he has thrown himself into a trap.

Under such circumstances, if the baron maintains a certain degree of reason, he should restrain himself for a while, and will not continue his development until Cyril and others leave.

This kind of analysis made Cyril stop thinking about visiting the baron's manor at night.

He opened his notebook, intending to analyze the clues related to the Gray God Cult in his previous life, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by a soft questioning voice:
"Cyril, are you asleep?"

He walked over and opened the door, only to see a petite girl with blond hair standing in front of the door.He was taken aback for a moment, just the tense expression on the other side's face was enough to show that she came here on business:

"Elena, what's the matter?"

He lowered his head and saw the hilt of the sword in the opponent's hand.

And Elena looked around for a while, then jumped into the door, stood on tiptoe, and got close to Cyril's ear as much as possible:

"There is something, mixed in."
