The bishop is unfathomable.

Chapter 86 Go check if he's really dead.

What a familiar development!

If this were a detective movie set, the current scene would resemble a locked-room mystery.

Unfortunately, this is a world of the extraordinary.

At least Li Wei himself had the means to lead his men away.

For example, letting the group carry you away.

It's just a matter of making a few more trips; if you want to leave, you can always find a way.

Not to mention that he also brought along a very powerful Hajmi.

Although this guy is still eating dry food, he doesn't seem nervous at all.

But how the bridge outside broke is still somewhat intriguing.

There was no explosion, or rather, there was no unusual noise before the bridge collapsed.

Was this achieved through some special means, or was the sound of the bridge breaking and collapsing buried in the loud noise of the stone bridge collapsing?

But that's not important. What's important is—why did that deceased viscount insist that the people present stay until midnight?

Of the few people present, besides myself and Vera who were there on official business, everyone else had some connection with the Viscount.

They might be young people who had helped the Viscount, or journalists who had been friends with him for many years.

A trusted lawyer, a housekeeper who has been by her side for many years, and her own grandson.

The viscount's son appears to have died many years ago, and according to common sense and imperial law, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the title and property should have been inherited by his grandson, young master Antel.

Even if the will includes a section about Hoost and Mr. Bonas, it should only be a small portion of the estate.

For example, jewelry, collectibles, or a portion of cash.

However, the will stipulated that the property would be divided equally, and although the conditions seemed strange, they were actually very easy to meet.

Anyone with even a basic sense of vigilance would realize that this matter is not simple.

At this moment, the bridge suddenly broke. Was it to discourage people from leaving?

To be honest, the distance between the island in the middle of the lake and the shore is not far, and there are no dangerous monsters in this lake.

If you're determined, even if you can't fly, swimming across this calm lake isn't too difficult.

"Gentlemen, can any of you swim?"

Li Wei suddenly turned to look at the crowd of people with different expressions because of the bridge collapse and asked them a question.

Huster sighed: "No. I can only fumble around a bit."

Bonas nodded in agreement.

Lawyer Hayes retorted, "This isn't the beach; how many Beltorians can swim?"

Upon hearing this, Levi looked at Walter and the butler, who had not yet answered, and asked, "Excuse me, are there any ships inside the castle?"

"There used to be one," Water said. "Although a stone bridge was built, it was still on a lake, and sometimes my grandfather and I would take a boat to fish on the lake."

"But a while ago the boat accidentally hit a big rock on the shore, and the bottom of the boat was punctured, and it hasn't been repaired yet."

Li Wei nodded: "So, we're trapped here, right?"

Vera seemed about to say something, but Li Wei silenced her with a look.

Then, the butler said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone, for causing you to encounter this situation."

"I'll have my men prepare a few empty rooms, then I'll call the city hall and ask them to send some people to meet us."

"No way!" Waterl's reaction was extremely agitated.

If everyone stays in the castle, won't I end up not getting any money at all?!

Li Wei then laughed: "Just kidding."

After saying that, he summoned Shu and used Shu's shapeshifting skill to adjust Shu's size to its maximum.

The next moment, Ji, who had clearly grown larger after advancing his energy level and further expanded with the skill amplification, appeared beside Li Wei.

This giant raptor, standing as tall as Li Wei, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

More than surprise, there was fear.

"I happen to have a familiar. Although the process won't be very comfortable, it can indeed get you all away from the castle."

"So, there's no need to worry about being trapped here."

"Anyone who wants to leave can let me know. I will leave before my work is finished."

Hearing Levi's assurance, both Huster and Bonas breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Bonas.

After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged man with glasses gritted his teeth and walked up to Li Wei.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Li Wei. I'll be leaving soon; just drop me off at the shore. Although it's a bit far from the city, there's a small town nearby called River Valley, where you should be able to rent a carriage."

Li Wei smiled and nodded: "No problem. Just let me know when you want to leave."

Bonas nodded with a sigh of relief, then sat back down in his chair, picked up his water glass, and took a sip.

Apart from Bonas, no one else offered to leave voluntarily.

Li Wei didn't say anything more, but looked at Walter, whose complexion had improved considerably and who was now giving him a friendly smile, and said, "Now that the difficulties have been resolved and the banquet is temporarily over, I think Mr. Hayes can begin reading the other will, right?"

Water nodded, then looked at Hayes: "Please begin, Mr. Hayes."

Hayes didn't dawdle, and even skipped some of the basic procedures that should have been followed, directly taking out another file.

This time, however, Hayes didn't read it aloud; instead, he showed a shocked, even horrified, expression.

After a long silence, he stammered out the only sentence in the will.

"Only the last guest in my bedroom before dawn on the second day will inherit the title and estate of the Viscount."

"No one had ever owned this castle before."

After hearing the lawyer read the will, Li Wei was convinced that there were problems with today's banquet regarding the reading of the will and the distribution of the estate.

Considering the extraordinary methods that are not uncommon in this world, and the fact that Viscount Walter himself was a high-level superhuman, he had no doubt that the Viscount had left behind some ritual spells that could only be activated at night before his death.

It's even possible that this guy isn't dead.

His grandson, Walter, was just an ordinary young playboy; it was perfectly normal that he didn't seem unusual.

And his butler—

Li Wei had every reason to believe that the steward was cooperating with the Viscount in putting on an act.

Moreover, this second will, no matter how you look at it, seems to encourage the people who should have been trapped on the island to kill and distrust each other.

But since this bug exists—

Li Wei pondered for a moment, then, amidst the increasingly tense situation and atmosphere, took the initiative to speak: "I'm sorry."

"Due to work requirements and the necessity of recycling work."

"I demand an inspection of the Viscount's study, bedroom, and all his books. Finally, the coffin where his body is currently placed."

"Also, this is not a request."

"It's an order."

After saying that, Felicia jumped onto Levi's shoulder and began to breathe on him.

At that moment, the cane in Li Wei's hand transformed into the enormous body of the Shadow Wolf.

The two colossal beasts, the Falcon and the Shadow Wolf, whose sizes far exceeded those of normal creatures, instantly created a tense atmosphere in the banquet hall.

"Ahem." Vera also stood next to Levi. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still spoke up righteously: "The Bureau of Supervision recognizes all the decisions and choices made by the banned book administrator in the work of retrieving banned books."

"If you have any objections, please submit a complaint report to the Inspection Bureau and the library."

Li Wei glanced at Vera with some surprise, then whispered to the seemingly weakest little black cat, "Go, check if that guy is really dead."
