Chapter 227 Secret Sneaking
After a while, the iron cavalry walked in carrying a corpse.
Throwing the body on the ground, the cavalryman said: "There is only one stitcher nearby. I didn't alert anyone else."
The servants stopped shouting and looked at each other in disbelief. Cavalry: "Captain Kairol, weren't you dismissed and sent home?"
Cavalry said coldly: "Keroll is dead. This gentleman has questions to ask you, you must tell the truth. Answer.”
The servants didn’t know why Kairol said he was dead when he was clearly alive, but they knew that their lives were saved by this young man, and they immediately saluted Heroot: “Thank you, sir, for saving your life!”
Herot asked Melis to go out as a sentry, and then asked the servants: "What happened to Earl Secombe's house? Why did the corpse stitcher want to kill you."
The servants looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. .
Tieqi pointed at one of the servants and said, "Answer my lord's question."
The servant replied: "We don't know why the corpse stitchers killed us. Maybe... maybe It’s Butler Ophelia who wants us dead.”
"Ophelias?" the cavalry whispered to Herot: "She is the corpse stitcher in the deep prison. She has always been responsible for replacing Earl Secome's organs and maintaining life. She is also the relationship between Earl Secome and the deep prison." If she becomes the housekeeper of this courtyard, it means that the deep prison has taken control of this place."
Helot nodded, and then asked the servant: "What did you do to make Ophelias. The butler killed you?"
"We..."
The servant told him about the private discussion about the butler Ophelia killing people, and then talked about some recent disappearances. event.
“After the old master passed away, the old butler also died mysteriously. Ophelia was the new butler appointed by Master Cram. Since then, many servants have been missing from the family. Some said they were dismissed, and some It just disappeared.
Captain Kyler and the guards disappeared, and Ophelias said that you were dismissed because of your negligence. "
It seems that the deep prison has silenced all the servants who know the inside story and who may know the inside story.
Helot asked the cavalry: "Can I still go in? ”
“You can go in.” I know a secret door that allows entry into the main building without alerting the guards. Maybe it would be easier if we put on the clothes of these servants. "
Helot smiled and said to the servants: "Take off your clothes. ”
The servants did not dare to refuse and took off their coats one by one.
Helot said again: "Find a place to lie down. In order to keep it secret, I will let you sleep here for a while. When you wake up, you can find a way to escape immediately."
Servant. People rushed to lie down on the haystacks.
Helot recited a spell and used hypnosis to make the servants fall asleep, and even the horses here were hypnotized.
Helot and the cavalry changed into servant clothes, and then Melis came in to change clothes.
Then the cavalry led them quietly toward the main building.
There is a secret door on the side of the main building, which can lead to an underground storage room. This secret exit is used for escape in times of crisis. There is a hidden shaft in the underground storage room.
Tieqi opened the door of the hidden shaft: "Originally, this shaft led directly to the master bedroom on the fourth floor of the Earl, but now the escape device in the master bedroom has not been activated. We can only use this shaft to reach a sundry on the second floor. The utility room is filled with things that have not been used for many years. No servants usually go in.
We need to go up from the second floor to the fourth floor. If we meet someone, I will deal with it. I don’t know it. The most likely person is the corpse stitcher."
Helot said: "Be clean when killing people and don't make too much noise. Some zombies are very sensitive to sound." "Yes, sir! I’ll go up first, there’s no danger, you and the assistant officer will go up later.”
“Go!”
The cavalry entered the shaft and climbed up using both hands and feet.
Melis summoned a piece of luminous ice in her hand to illuminate the storage room, which was filled with ancient furniture.
“The Corpse Stitcher has taken control of the Secombe family and seems to want its successors to continue working for them.”
Helot thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Since they can let Kram appoint a corpse stitcher as the housekeeper, they have actually controlled the Secombe family, but why do they have to arrange so many corpse stitchers and corpse puppets to come in. You must know that once they are exposed, it will be confirmed that Earl Secombe colludes with the prison, and then implicates the rust nobles."
Under the shining light of the ice, Melis's eyes lit up: "You mean... Xi. Did Count Sekom leave behind something that made Deep Prison jealous? "
"This is a reasonable guess, according to Iron Cavalry, Count Sekom's attitude towards Deep Prison is not humble, but rather strong. . Maybe Earl Secombe really hid something that could save his life in order not to be overly controlled by the Deep Prison."
"But he was still killed by the Deep Prison."
"That's because we pressed too hard, and the deep prison had to kill Earl Secombe. I don't know if the iron cavalry brought us to find the blueprints, and there was no unexpected gain."
Melis smiled and said: "If I were Earl Secombe, such an important secret would not be known to a guard captain. I would tell it to... the person who is most important to me."
Hero Te thought: "The Earl of Secombe's wife passed away a long time ago, and the most important person to him was of course his son Kram."
Melise: "Kram is in this building "Here, are we going to look for him?"
"No, not yet. We can think of it, and we can think of it in the deep prison. There must be a corpse stitcher around Kram, why don't we look for him rashly? There will be gains, but it will harm him.
You must avoid contact with Kram today and create opportunities to meet him alone in the future.”
Melis: "You are the team leader, I listen to you."
At this time, a signal from the cavalry came from the shaft.
When Herot was about to go up, Melis rushed in first: "I will go up first, wait for my signal."
Helot smiled, he knew that Melis was For their own safety, the cavalrymen just surrendered after all.
“Okay, I’ll wait for your signal.”
Melis quickly climbed up and made sure that there was no problem before sending a signal to Helot.
When Herot came up, the ice in Melis' hand illuminated the dark room. The items in the storage room were turned into a mess. Many fabric accessories were cut open, and all the stuffing inside was removed. out.
Tieqi said: "I was shocked by this scene when I came up. I thought the corpse stitcher had discovered this secret passage. Fortunately, the exit of the secret passage was concealed enough. From the looks of it, it seemed that someone was there. Looking for something."
Helot and Melis glanced at each other. Their guess just now was most likely correct. Count Secombe really hid something important in the deep prison.
"Ignore this for now, let's go find the blueprints. Be careful, there may be a lot of corpses and zombies hidden outside."
