Chapter 95 The Hunt Begins [2-in-1]
"Rhine, I feel like something is wrong here."
After entering the Red Vineyard.
Enrico immediately noticed something strange here.
Because this place is more like a large playground than a manor.
Not only are there all kinds of weird facilities inside.
A large number of maids and male attendants are specially equipped for accompanying.
Although everyone who comes here is required to wear an ‘animal mask’.
But just from the way these people dress, you can tell the difference between guests and servants.
Because guests like Enrico and Rhine wear different badges that correspond to their respective identities and assets.
Since he was only the heir to the Viscount, Enrico was only assigned a bronze badge.
Similarly, as Enrico's official bodyguard, Rhine was assigned a black iron badge.
As for the male attendants and maids who received them before.
They all wore white badges.
And on this badge, there are also special numbers marked on it.
In addition, guests who come here wear animal masks.
Although there is a mask to cover the face.
But sometimes as long as people put on a mask, it is equivalent to taking off the mask they usually wear.
So just passing by the hall, Enrico was shocked by the luxurious scene inside.
I saw that many guests in the hall started playing in the hall regardless of the eyes of the people around them.
This is undoubtedly a very deviant thing for the relatively conservative Principality of Morton.
In addition, Enrico also felt that since entering this manor.
It was as if something had brought out the desire in his heart, so much so that he almost couldn't control himself.
Fortunately, Enrico's strangeness did not last long.
Because as long as he stands next to Rhine, that special 'desire fluctuation' will ease.
Although Enrico is not an extraordinary person, he still has some insights.
He knew very well that his changes were definitely not groundless.
As for Enrico's inquiry, Rhine already knew the reason.
While he continued to let the maid in front lead the way, he lowered his head and said to Enrico: "Look less, listen less, and follow me closely."
After hearing this, Enrico immediately followed the good advice and immediately lowered his head without looking at anyone or anything around him.
Soon, the two of them were taken to an exclusive room by the manor servants.
As soon as he entered the room, Rhine waved to the two maids.
The two of them immediately left the room with understanding and stood at the door.
After the two left, Rhine took out a special candle and lit it before placing it on the table in the room.
When the candlelight illuminated the room, Enrico felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
"Rhine, what do you want?"
"Holy Fire Candle from the Church."
"Church Candles?"
Seeing Enrico's doubts, Rhine explained: "Enrico, the situation here is more complicated than I thought, because I didn't expect Remy to be bold enough to use forbidden knowledge to subtly change his way here. ”
"Have you noticed the statues and various murals along the way?"
Enrico nodded.
You must know that when entering the Red Vineyard, they need to pass through a gorgeous and long corridor.
The corridors are not only filled with various artistic murals.
There are statues placed at regular intervals on both sides.
At first, Enrico only thought that this was a luxurious decoration deliberately created by the owner of the Red Vineyard to show off his wealth and status.
But after hearing what Rhine said now, he immediately reacted.
"Are you saying that those murals and statues are extraordinary objects that contain forbidden knowledge?"
"Yeah."
After receiving Rhine's affirmative reply, Enrico's face became very ugly.
Because even if he has not stepped into the extraordinary, Enrico is very clear about the horror of forbidden knowledge and the impact they can have on people.
Looking at the silent Enrico, Rhine expressed his judgment: "Those murals and statues only contain some forbidden knowledge. Otherwise, you would not be able to return to normal so quickly."
"And if there is only a brief contact, those forbidden knowledge will not immediately cause distortion in the body and soul."
"It's just that if they are exposed to these things for a long time and have not been 'purified', then these people will soon become slaves of these forbidden knowledge and develop an unprecedented worship of a certain existence."
"Enrico, I'm not sure how many of the guests here have had their perceptions subtly changed, but I know that what Remy wants is definitely more exaggerated than we thought."
"He not only wants to inherit the title of Earl Randy, he also wants to completely control the entire Emerald Territory, so that there will be no other voice here except him."
Rhine's words were very calm, but the information contained in them made Enrico feel cold all over.
Because he had heard Remy's huge ambition from Rhine's words.
Thinking of this, Enrico said in a low tone: "Control other nobles with forbidden knowledge. As long as this news is released, even if Randy comes forward in person, Remy will definitely die."
"Because he has touched the taboos of all nobles."
"And I believe that among the nobles who come here, they must have been personally selected by Remy."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the outside world not to hear some rumors."
"Well, I think so too."
Rhine took Enrico's words and stood up and came to the window.
From this position, they could vaguely see the hall below and the scene of demons dancing around there.
"I have just observed that most of the nobles who come here wear bronze and silver badges, which means that they basically just charge 10,000 to 100,000 Morton gold coins here."
"This is certainly a lot of money, but for the Adrian nobles who have been given it, this money is not a big deal at all."
"Based on my judgment of these people, not all of them are nobles, many of them are businessmen, and even extraordinary people with no background."
"Remy brings together so many people from different professions and walks of life. It's definitely not just about making money."
"He must have other deeper purposes."
"But none of this has anything to do with us. We only need to confirm two things now. One is to make sure that Remy is in the manor today, and the other is to spread the news to the church paladins outside. That's all."
Hearing this, Enrico asked curiously: "Is it possible that Remy won't come today?"
Rhine shook his head and said: "No, Remy will definitely come, because the incident with Her Royal Highness Lilissa makes it even more important for him to stabilize the emotions of the people below and find a way to prove his innocence."
"Remy will never be absent from this kind of obvious small circle gathering, because the people who can appear here are either his cronies, or potential allies that he feels he is very confident that he can win over."
"So it is not difficult to determine Remy's arrival. The difficult thing is to find a way to convey the information here."
"After all, I just observed it. It seems like it's just an ordinary manor, but it's not only surrounded by hidden sentries, but there are also many extraordinary detection items arranged inside and outside the manor."
"It's difficult for my crow to escape the detection of these things and fly out directly." "What should I do?"
Hearing these words from Rhine, Enrico panicked.
Because if they can't pass on the news here.
Then the church would not be able to determine when to take action.
Taking action too early may cause Remy to react in advance and not reach the Red Vineyard directly.
Taking action too late may also allow Remy to leave before the church invades the manor.
Therefore, the best time to take action is undoubtedly when they know for sure that Remy has arrived.
Looking at Enrico who was a little panicked, Rhine said calmly: "It's okay, I have already figured out how to solve this problem."
"After all, I had considered similar situations before coming here."
"Although the current matter is complicated, it is not beyond my ability."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Well, then it all depends on you, Rhine."
"Yeah."
After calming down, Enrico soon calmed down.
And Remy didn't keep them waiting long for this special party.
Dong Dong Dong...
Listening to the knock on the door outside, Enrico and Leiyin looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
"Come in."
The person outside the door immediately pushed the door open and entered after getting Enrico's permission.
"Dear guests, our manor's unique game is about to start. Are you interested?"
"Game?"
Enrico looked confused, obviously not understanding what this so-called game was.
The servant who came in was not surprised by this either.
He immediately smiled and said: "Yes, dear guest, it is just a game, a wonderful game that you can't play anywhere except here."
After hearing this, Enrico immediately said curiously: "Can you tell me what the content of this game is first?"
"After all, if I don't even know what games are, how can I be interested in them?"
"Dear guest, have you ever participated in hunting?"
Enrico nodded. How could he, a young aristocratic young man, not have experienced such things as hunting?
"Since you, our distinguished guest, have experienced hunting, you can understand this game we are hosting as a different kind of hunting."
"The difference is that the prey this time is very special."
"In the process of hunting, whether the distinguished guests choose to kill the prey or catch the prey, we will not interfere."
"So, does your guest understand?"
Before Enrico could answer, Rhine frowned and said, "You mean, the prey you arranged is a human being?"
Faced with Rhine's inquiry, the servant smiled and said: "Most of them are human beings, and a small number of them are not."
Upon hearing this description, Enrico was unmoved on the surface, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Prey on humans.
Are these guys crazy?
But looking at the calm look of the guy in front of him, Enrico understood that he probably didn't realize how crazy the things he was involved in were, and instead took it for granted.
"Lead the way."
Before Enrico could recover from the shock, Rhine on the side made a decision.
In response, the servant looked at Rhine strangely, and then looked at Enrico again.
As if wondering why it was the knight Rhine who spoke first and not the noble young master Enrico beside him.
But after seeing the servant's reaction, Enrico immediately said: "What he means is what I mean."
"I understand."
The servant didn't ask too much, and immediately led the two of them towards the back of the manor.
Along the way, Rhine and Enrico saw many people who had also just come out of the room.
Like Lain and others, they walked to the back of the manor under the leadership of servants.
Some of them came prepared and put on their equipment early.
Seeing this, Rhine and Enrico instantly understood such a crazy game.
This is not the first time Red Vineyard has hosted this event.
Under the leadership of the servant, Rhine and Enrico soon arrived at the outskirts of a hunting ground.
"Dear guest, are you going to participate in person, or are you going to let the knight next to you come?"
"The villain has his words first. Although we have tried our best to ensure the safety of all our distinguished guests, some hunters will be killed by their prey every year in the Scarlet Game."
"And among these people, there are some powerful extraordinary people."
"Therefore, for the sake of your safety as a distinguished guest, I suggest that you let the knight beside you participate on your behalf."
Enrico did not answer the question immediately, but looked at the burly man wearing a white tiger mask in the center of the hunting ground.
Although the other party was wearing a mask, his burly figure and unabashed tone of voice showed up.
Everyone guessed his identity immediately.
There is no doubt that the man wearing the white tiger mask is Count Randy's eldest son, Remy.
And it was not only Enrico who guessed his identity, but the nobles around him also undoubtedly guessed it, so they all gathered around him.
Seeing this scene, the servant immediately smiled and said: "Master, he personally participates in the Scarlet Game every year, and he is also the champion of the Scarlet Game for five consecutive times."
"Although we have reminded the owner many times of the dangers involved, the owner still enjoys it."
Enrico asked in confusion: "He has participated personally, who can beat him?"
In response, the servant said seriously: "Dear guest, please do not question our fairness, and do not underestimate the master's strength."
"His five-time championship is well deserved."
"Okay, distinguished guest, if you want to participate in the game, please decide first whether you want to participate by yourself or send someone to participate."
"And these must be decided before the game starts. There is still one hour before the game starts. Dear guest, you can consider it slowly."
"When you have thought about it, you can ring the bell at this location and someone will come over to guide you in person."
After that, the servant wearing the big yellow dog mask left first.
Looking at his back, Rhine said meaningfully: "On one side is a bloody hunt, on the other side are various animal masks. It seems like this is really a zoo."
In response, Enrico nodded in agreement and said: "That's true, so are you ready to participate?"
Rhine looked in the direction of Remy and said without hesitation: "Why should I miss this rare opportunity?"
"Okay."
