Chapter 176: Dream

Knight Philip was walking in the fields. The muddy road soaked by the rain was bumpy and difficult to navigate. However, with the help of the strong physical fitness and coordination ability of the extraordinary professional, he had been active in this area for a long time.

This is the land around the castle. Legally, it belongs directly to the lord himself. The people who work here are all serfs belonging to the Kant family. Now, because the harvest has been completed, the straw has also been harvested. After being burned, there were no serfs working tirelessly on the land.

This land is fertile and contains incredible magic.

Knight Philip is not a farmer, but a noble knight with a well-established background, but this does not mean that he does not understand the land: lower-level nobles like knights often have to deal with the land. , he had to personally manage his farm and personally supervise the harvesting and sowing of the crops (although they have all disappeared with a fire in the old Cecil Territory), so he can distinguish the quality of the soil and the quality of the soil. Does it contain enough power for the potion to grow?

He squatted down next to a farmland and placed his hands over the muddy land. A thin light floated out from the soil and dispersed little by little between his palms and the soil. , the young knight frowned slightly.

As guessed, these magic powers are not contained in the land itself, but come from the outside world. Some external factors are affecting the magic power balance in this area, resulting in this unnatural magic wealth. collection phenomenon.

Philip stood up and looked at the ancient castle on the hillside not far away. He had already checked the farmland in many places, and found that the closer the fields were to the castle, the greater the concentration of magic power. Obviously, the lands closest to the castle are where the magic potion grows.

Without the catalysis of Druid casting, it is not easy for magic potions to grow naturally on ordinary land - the more thoroughly humans develop the area, the more the magic power contained in the land declines. It’s amazing. If conventional farmland requires two years of cultivation and one year of fallow, then a piece of land that can grow magic potion would have to be fallow for at least three times before it can recover. But in Kant Land, the output of magic potion has been stable. Ascending, exports never cease.

Obviously, the castle is releasing energy fluctuations that are enough to enrich the magic power. However, when Philip was staying in the castle last night, he had carefully sensed it and found that there was no abnormal magic reaction in the castle. He also didn't feel any evil aura belonging to the cultists.

......

In the Kant Castle, Gawain visited this three-hundred-year-old building under the personal guidance of Viscount Victor and old butler Carter. They had just visited Leaving a showroom with a rich collection, he was on his way to the library. Along the way, Viscount Victor was introducing the history of this building to Gawain with a proud look and how his family came to be here. It emerged three hundred years ago and continues to this day.

But Viscount Victor is already old after all.Ji, he was much older than Butler Carter, and he suffered from physical problems due to an accident in his early years. When he was halfway through the tour with the guests, his physical strength could no longer keep up.

The old Viscount had to apologize to Gawain and said he wanted to go back to his room to rest, but Gawain certainly would not pursue this matter - he could still be very good under the leadership of Butler Carter. Nice visit here.

For a time, only Gawain and an old butler were left in the wide and long corridor. The two walked in the long corridor decorated with tapestries and wall lamps, while the latter continued dutifully. This article introduces the work of the castle.

Gawain suddenly interrupted him: "Mr. Carter, how many years have you served the Kant family?"

"Almost fifty years, Your Excellency," the old butler said. He said proudly, "I have been taking care of this family since I was a servant."

Gawain nodded approvingly: "An excellent servant, then you must know this place very well, And the Viscount's family."

The old housekeeper nodded reservedly: "Yes, I understand all this, just like I understand my own hands and feet."

"Last night, I saw a tall tower opposite my room. The tall tower was set off by several smaller towers, and it looked very magnificent in the rainy night," Gawain said, "What is that tower for? "< /p>

The reserved and proud expression on the old butler's face suddenly stiffened for a moment, and then he frowned slightly: "Your Excellency, that is the North Tower. Please forgive me for being rude, but that is a place that cannot be visited by you. ."

"North Tower?" Gawain raised his eyebrows slightly, "Ah, I heard when I was chatting with your master before, the Viscountess seems to live in the North Tower... I was reckless. But does the Viscountess live in that tower all year round? Doesn’t she live in the castle?”

“Well, the mistress has been living there since her health deteriorated,” the old housekeeper shook his head. "She can't see the light and can't stand the noise. The north tower is the cleanest place in the castle."

"I shouldn't inquire about other people's family affairs, but I am really curious about this matter," Gao Wen continued, saying that others may be embarrassed to inquire about this private matter, but he, a revolutionary martyr who was resurrected from seven hundred years ago, has nothing to be embarrassed about. "Your Viscountess seems to be much younger than the Viscount."

"The Viscountess was married only ten years ago," the old housekeeper was stunned for a moment before responding to Gawain's words, "Before that..."

As he spoke, the old housekeeper He showed a look of reminiscence: "The original Viscountess died in an accident, and the Viscount has been single for many years. We are happy to see that he can get out of that terrible tragedy."

Gao Wen showed curiosity. The look on his face: "Accident? What kind of accident?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, I can't continue to talk to you about this matter." The old butler finally refused to continue to answer, "This is not mine. Duty."

Gawain smiled carelessly.smiled: "It doesn't matter, I asked too many questions. Let's continue to visit - I am most interested in places like libraries."

In the evening, go out to check Amber and Byron, who had been searching for news all day, returned to Gawain.

"Sir, there is indeed an abnormal enrichment of magic power in the land," Knight Philip first reported. "The center point of the phenomenon is this castle, but the strange thing is that apart from the enrichment of magic power itself, I didn't feel any abnormal magic fluctuations in the castle, nor did I feel the evil atmosphere emanating from the cultists here."

"The information I got is much scarier than your information. ," Amber glanced at Philip rather proudly, then deliberately lowered her voice and reported to Gawain in a sinister tone, "People outside said that the Viscountess..."

Gao Wen Wen didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking before he took the initiative to speak: "You should have died a long time ago, right?"

Amber God suddenly stopped in the middle of talking, and then stared at Gawain: "You are following me Huh?"

"Guess," Gawain smiled, "This kind of story usually unfolds like this. I won't interrupt you."

After Amber told everything he knew, Knight Philip couldn't help but press his chest: "What a poor man... There are too many unfair fates. "

"If the Viscountess had died decades ago, then the one you saw last night must have been a ghost, or was killed by the kind-looking Vic! Many Viscounts have 'resurrected' people in some way," Amber said in a sinister tone, scaring herself with goosebumps as she spoke, "It must be that Viscount Victor who couldn't bear the shock of his wife's death, so Being bewitched by cultists, he uses magic to resurrect the dead or summon the souls of the dead. He probably arrests the refugees just to maintain the ritual... That's what the story says! Oh - it scares me to death!"

Amber and Phillip said in unison: "Why?"

"The undead does not have such high intelligence, nor does she have any aura similar to the undead, and most importantly, the undead Unable to tell her own name - that Lilith Kant said her name clearly, and I have also confirmed that this name is real," Gawain said slowly, "Various signs show that, Lilith Kant is not an undead."

Amber looked at Gawain up and down: "Your words are unconvincing. Who said that people who are resurrected must be undead? You are just a living person. jumpIs there a special case where you can say your own name while jumping around? What if Viscount Victor also found a shadow master who is as powerful as me to pry his wife's coffin board..."

Gawain raised his hand to interrupt the elf's shameless behavior. , said unhurriedly: "Don't be too busy talking about your conclusions - I also discovered something here. "

"Did you find it? Amber was stunned, "What did you find?" "

"Today I was talking about the viscountess with the butler in the castle. He responded to the topic without hesitation and said that the current viscountess was married to Victor Conte ten years ago. , and the previous Viscountess died on the spot in an accident," Gawain said unhurriedly, "At the same time, I also paid attention to the conversations of the servants in the castle, and contacted a few of them privately, and found that they all Have the same understanding. "

Philip's expression suddenly became serious: "Yesterday, no one in the castle talked about the 'Viscountess'! ”

“Yes, some people talked about it today, and not only did they talk about it, they also had a whole set of perceptions about this ‘Viscountess’, which was inconsistent with the news that Amber heard outside the castle. huge! "

"How could this happen? ! Amber was confused, "Who gave them a spiritual hint?" "

"Maybe it's something similar to spiritual suggestion..." Gawain said slowly, "But based on the ability of the Eternal Sleep Order, I would rather call this... supplementary setting.

“Perhaps the entire castle is shrouded in a huge illusion, and our arrival and activities have destroyed the integrity of this illusion. In order to keep everything here running normally, the people who created the illusion have to Don’t start adding settings to it!”
