I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 40 The Secret in Suttenburg

Sardinburg is not close to Beishan Manor, and it can't even be regarded as the area under the jurisdiction of Yulang City.

Starting from Beishan Manor, it takes a day and a night to arrive in a carriage.

Keos on the carriage looked at the lonely castle standing in the desolation in front of him with a calm expression.

After Salveira, who was driving, yelled twice, she poked her head out of the castle and took a look, only to hear the sound of the gate being opened.

This territory is basically wasteland. Apart from the castle, there are no buildings within a few kilometers, and there are no economic units such as farms or factories. It is quite far from the main city and is not within the patrol range of the Knights of Disciplinary Order.

Therefore, Sardinburg has to guard against wild animals and possible lone wolf-style thieves. The castle's gates are usually closed and the drawbridge is pulled up.

All its expenses need to be transported from the main city tens of kilometers away, but fortunately, there are very few people in the castle, only five people in total.

But among the five people, there are two chief servants - this is the butler route of contracted servants, second only to the butler level.

There are two other servants and one full-armored bodyguard. Judging from their respective ages, experiences, and abilities, their grades are obviously high.

But it's also understandable, guarding in such a remote and dilapidated place, it should be given a higher grade and treatment.

Those two chief servants are the servant chiefs of Voda and Tek who heard people talking in the kitchen after Kaios turned on "Silent Walker" and "disappeared inexplicably, and may have been dealt with by the young master in some terrible way." ".

The two of them here are basically housekeepers, in charge of all the affairs of Sardinburg - although only two servants and one guard can order.

Caios also learned from Harvey that he had bought this Sardinburg with his own money before he inherited the title, and it has been many years since he got it.

The two chief servants, Taike and Woda, were actually arranged by Benin. Otherwise, the old baron was still there at that time, and it would not be easy for him to get the two chief servants to guard in this remote castle.

Sardinburg is a castle with a history of hundreds of years. Its history is even earlier than that of the Holy Blessed Alliance. When it was first built, it was built to deal with wars between lords.

Now all the other nearby buildings are gone, only this castle is still "alive".

But for such a large castle, it is definitely not enough for five people to maintain it well, so they actually only use a very small part of the room in the castle, and the activity area accounts for less than 1/20 of the entire castle.

Looking at the five people saluting to him, Kaios naturally noticed the halo behind their heads at first glance.

Unsurprisingly, the two elder servant chiefs, Woda and Tek, had almost completely purple halos at the back of their heads, while the other two servants and a guard were mostly gray with a small amount of purple.

Regardless of whether they were arranged by Benin or not, since they arrived here a few years ago, they have never left, nor have they written or contacted their family members. It is only normal to have resentment towards him, the lord.

"How did I explain to you last time?" Keos asked immediately after the two chief servants, Voda and Tek, finished their salutes.

The two were stunned at the same time, and looked at each other, both of them were a little puzzled and panicked: "What I explained last time..."

Kaios frowned: "Can't remember? What did I do when I came here last time, think about it."

"You...you went to the basement as usual, and then..." Tek tried hard to recall the whole process of the last time Keos came.

In fact, the whole process is very simple, that is, go to the basement before coming, come out from the basement after almost a whole day, stay here for one night, go to the basement again the next day, leave after a few hours, and stay here For a day and a half, I didn't even eat a meal.

"Go, take me to the basement." Seeing that the two of them were still thinking about what Kaios had explained last time, he had already ordered to the full-armored guard next to him.

He asked this because he wanted to know what the original owner would do when he came here before.

Although the manpower is limited, cleaning is destined to be impossible to be diligent, but the castle is surprisingly not too messy, and there is no peculiar smell—at least the area that Kaios and Salveira passed through after entering.

The guard carried a magic lantern and walked through a long spiral staircase to a metal door at the end.

One look at the small groove in the metal doorknob, and Keos knew what to use to open it.

Just as he walked over and was about to open the door with the beads on his wrist, the guard who was walking back said to Salveira strangely: "Why are you still waiting, come with me, young master... Uh, it's the master , Master never let other people enter the basement."

"Today is an exception." Kaios who opened the door turned around and said.

Seeing the door open, the guard suddenly became very nervous. After saying "yes", he hurried up.Because the magic lantern was left to Salveira, he almost fell several times.

From this look, he seems to be very afraid of the "thing" in the basement.

Kaios looked at Salveira: "Are you ready?"

"Get ready, master, don't worry, Vera will definitely not let master get hurt!"

"It's not just me, you can't get hurt either."

"Good sir!"

At this time, Salveira was fully armed, wearing the all-black "Black Gold Sacred Armor" bought by Keos, on her head was a sophisticated helmet made of the same black gold material that she bought separately later, and in her hand was a It has a high-quality horizontal knife, a high-quality protection bracelet on its wrist, and a high-quality dagger on its waist.

In addition, in order to come to Sardinburg this time, Kaios also piled up special props and equipment worth 3000 coupons for her, so she is naturally full of confidence.

Carrying the magic lantern into the basement, Kaios could clearly feel that the temperature dropped by at least two to three degrees Celsius, and there was a very weak, cold wind blowing on his face, which was a bit eerie.

Under the light of the magic lantern, Kaios noticed a switch by the door, and when he pressed it, a red light lit up in the basement.

The huge red magic lamp hanging in the sky illuminates the entire basement, and one can see that going down the stairs of the door is a very large space arranged like a living room, and there are many Doors leading to different rooms.

The red magic lights looked very depressing, and Kaios frowned. How could anyone use lights of this color? Is this intentional to create this weird "atmosphere"?
Slowly walking to the middle of the hall, the door behind them suddenly closed automatically, and the red light began to dim.

A pair of black eyes with no whites appeared on the ceiling, blinked and then disappeared.

"Come out." Kaios said, his hands kept in the pockets of his coat - today he was wearing a set of clothes that are easy to move around, instead of a robe that is more representative of aristocratic status.

A red figure condensed in front of Kaios, who had been prepared for a long time, was about to make a move when he suddenly heard the figure speak.

"What did you guys do to my brother!"

elder brother?

Salveira flicked the horizontal knife that had already been unsheathed in her hand, and the blade was immediately covered with a layer of golden light, and rushed towards the red figure.

The red figure let out a howl, and a circle of red shock waves spread out from her as the center.

The moment Salveira was swept across, she froze immediately, but within half a second, a golden light flashed all over her body, and she regained her mobility. The golden knife in her hand continued to slash, reaching the top of the red figure's head in the blink of an eye.

The blurry image of the red figure suddenly became clear, and the face of a seven or eight-year-old girl emerged, looking at the golden horizontal knife with doubts and horror--normal knives can't hurt her, but she But he could feel the deadly threat brought by the golden light on the knife.

"Vera, stop." Keos yelled.

The golden horizontal knife hovered above the forehead of the little red girl.

In Kaios' sight, the halo behind the little girl's head, from red at the beginning, has now turned half gray and half yellow.

"Strange, you are obviously not my brother, why are you not afraid of my screams!" The little girl looked at Kaios in confusion.

"Lena!" Kaios suddenly shouted.

"Eh?!" The little girl's eyes widened with confusion.

"You are my sister?"

"You are not my brother!"

"I'm!"

"Eh???"

Seeing the halo behind the head of the semi-solid little girl made of red energy, which changed from half gray and half yellow to half yellow and half blue after the previous sentence, Kaios said in a more resolute and affirmative tone:

"I am Keos Li, you are Lena Li, and I am your brother!"

"That's right, you are my elder brother, so you are not afraid of my screams... But why are you... different..." the little girl said with some doubts and uncertainties.

"Because I was murdered! I lost my memory! I forgot a lot of things!" Kaios said immediately.

"Brother!" The light circle behind the little red girl's head instantly turned completely blue.
