Exit the No. 1 private room and walk deeper until you reach the dead end at the end of the passage.
Two ferocious statues stood at the end. They were winged beasts crouching on pillars. They have bat wings and ferocious heads like vicious dogs, as if they are guarding something.
Turn the statues inward so that they move from guarding the outside to looking at each other. Then unscrew the portrait at the end, revealing a gap that only allows one person to pass through.
"The entrance to the so-called secret passage is right here."
A middle-aged man with short red curly hair introduced Miss Bayard respectfully and politely, "But it is strict. It's not a secret passage, but just a hidden underground passage."
"Underground passage"
Bayard crossed his arms and asked with interest. "What's it used for is to prevent rape?"
"It's good that you know."
The middle-aged man who looked like a butler straightened his back and just smiled. "There are also some important people whose identities cannot be revealed, who occasionally come to Huyue Manor to play. But they are not suitable to enter from the main entrance. At that time, they will come in directly from here. From here, you can go directly to the private room without passing through the banquet hall. Then just call the blood slave to the corresponding room."
"It's just the soundproofing of your private room."
Bayard couldn't help but hold No. 14 in his hand. He pulled it closer to him and complained, "How did you do this soundproofing?"
"Oh"
The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully and admitted readily. "I'm very sorry, Miss Bayard. I think the staff misunderstood your request, and I will teach him a lesson later."
"That's it. Generally speaking, our private rooms They are all given next to each other. The room has no sound insulation effect for the next door, but it has a sound amplification effect for the people lying on the bed. This is a special design, used to entertain shy guests and blood slaves. It is not that the sound insulation is bad. At least you can't hear what's going on inside from the door, which is enough to prove that there is no problem with our sound insulation technology.
“If the guest needs to keep the gameplay confidential or wants to discuss something, we will give the room at the back and leave the left and right sides free.”
"So that's it"
Bayard nodded.
"You already know," the middle-aged man walked into the secret passage diligently first and led Bayard forward, "we still don't understand each other deeply enough. Are you Please order a private room for the first time. I will ask them to arrange a room at the back for you next time."
"No need, I have No. 14 with me."
Bayard blurted out, "I think I won't come for a long time."
"Oh, I will come eventually."
The middle-aged man seemed to have seen it before I have experienced this kind of thing many times and heard this kind of words many times, so I don’t change my face at all. “We have a long-term relationship.”Long lifespan, but this is not the case for blood slaves. One day they will grow up and age, their appearance will fade, and their bodies will no longer be light and soft.
"Wait until then, you can come here to have a look. Maybe you will fall in love with the new blood slaves and buy them. Of course, we also support the trade-in of old ones, and the old ones can be sold back to you at a discount. Us. If you feel that the blood slaves you bought are too unruly and have too deep feelings, and you want to discard them but can't bear to do it, you can give them to us, but the recycling price may not satisfy you. , especially a rich person like you who is not short of money.
“But we also have other ways to deal with it. You also know that our business has just started in the empire for less than a year, so a lot of the business is old projects brought over from Anxi. And we now know that Imperial people are very romantic and nostalgic, so we have recently launched a new business.
“We have noble Moonchild alchemists and jewelers who can turn those aging partners into various gemstones and further polish them into beautiful and eternal jewelry. Freeze them in the most beautiful moment , everything that stays in the memory is beautiful. You only need to let them sleep through the food on a certain day, and they will be transformed into eternity in a completely painless ceremony.
"If you still have it. If you are willing to spend a little more money, we also support a gem designer to design a unique set of themed jewelry for you. We also have amber craftsmen here. If you spend a little more money, we can also preserve their souls in gemstones. If you suddenly miss them, you can wake them up. They are unaware that they are dead and can chat with you as normal. "
The man kept talking, enthusiastic and polite, "Of course, if you want to torture these souls"
"We will talk about the future. "
Bayard angrily rejected the man's business promotion and interrupted him, "I just want to take my little pet and leave here quietly. If possible, I can take her for another midnight snack. "
"Of course, of course. She is yours now. You have the final say. "
This man who seemed to only be able to say "of course" and "you have the final say" just smiled gently.
But then, he turned slightly and glanced at Ai Wentz.
The passage was dark, and only Moonchild with night vision could move forward normally.
The activated night vision made his pupils look dirty and bloody. The man had an elegant and gentle smile on his face, but it made people shudder. "I hope I won't see you again, No. 14." Miss Bayard spent six figures in gold coins to buy you. I hope you can know what Miss Bayard has done for you and be grateful for the huge price she paid for you. "
No. 14's body seemed a little scared and trembled slightly. She retreated into Bayard's arms weakly, and Bayard hugged her back.
< p> "Don't scare her, Director Cornelius. The child was so weak that she couldn't help but be frightened. "Bayard warned, "And I didn't spend hundreds of thousands directly. I just wrote off our debts."
"Of course, you have the final say."
Cornelius put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.
Listening to Director Cornelius’s introduction, Aiwass also gradually understood a lot of common sense about the end of the empire.
This is indeed a chaotic era where human life is worth nothing.
The Alchemy Association and the Art Association soon joined forces, and together with the Sons of the Moon, they hunted down the demonologists in high positions. In the end, the demonologists who were pushed to the limit summoned powerful demons. This led to the death of the imperial royal family, and then triggered the six-year Earth-Splitting War.
One year before the Earth-Splitting War, that was the time when the famous painting was born, the Alchemist who triggered the fierce conflict between the Alchemy Association and the Art Association.
Now, these children of the moon can raise blood slaves in the manor openly. They have obviously gained enough status and influence. This means that the Children of the Moon have been in the Imperial Capital for some time. According to Director Cornelis, they have been here for almost a year.
With all that being said, the summoning of a large demon that will destroy the empire is probably less than a month away.
A large empire that was already falling apart internally, with numerous factions, secret fights, and endless hatred. If its royal family and all legal heirs suddenly die one day
It means that real troubled times are coming.
There will definitely be many "high-ranking people" who die in such troubled times.
Miss Bayard is just an afterimage awakened by the ritual, but the shadow demon is real. She has Bayard's memories, so she must know many people from this era.
Maybe Aiwass will be able to dig out Bayard’s friends when he follows his mentor on an archaeological dig.
Due to the violent chaos at the end of the empire, much of the history at that time is no longer available for testing. Much of the history of the empire today relies on archaeologists' efforts to reconstruct the truth, but there are still a lot of speculations and conjectures.
Since Shadow Demon comes from this era, that means she is a living fossil from the end of the Empire Era.
She must know a lot of secrets.
For example, where is a strong person buried, or where are hidden resource points?
