Conquest

    Chapter 152 [See you at the end! 】

    As the horse carriage went all the way to the west, but went straight in the direction of the city gate, Shaar had some doubts in his heart. The horse caught up with a few steps, and in parallel with the horse carriage, he asked: "Eh…Excuse me, is Lord Duke invited me out of town? ”

    The carriage, called Rhody, smiled slightly and said loudly: "Yes, it’s outside the city, going out the gate to the south, it’s almost an hour later."After a pause, I took a look at Shaar and smiled. "That is the other house of the Duke's family. On weekdays, the Duke is resting in other hospitals."

    Shaar nodded, but frowned. "If you go out of town, look at the time. I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the city after I have seen Lord Duke."

    The gates of Osgiliath will be closed at night, unless there is a special official document permit to enter and exit, but where does Shaar have that kind of thing? Going out so late, I am afraid that I am destined to return to the city tonight.

    “Ha! Lord Baron is worried about this? ”Rhody smiled and said: "There are a lot of places in the courtyard, but can you still have less rest? Please feel free to go with me, and there are natural arrangements for the place. ”

    Finally, I went out from the magnificent gate in the west, passed the stone bridge on the artificial river, and then went south, through a forest, and the roads gradually became remote. The sky was gradually darkened, and only some villages in the distance were seen. In addition to the lights, in addition, the earth is dark.

    Along a road all the way south, the terrain gradually flattened up, far away, saw a hillside, halfway through the mountain is an manor building, that hillside is not high, but the mid-levels of the place is as if suddenly cut into a flat land, along a road uphill, The flat terrain on the hillside also opened about half a wide lawn and flower beds, and the manor was surrounded by this garden.

    Standing on the hillside and looking far away, you can see the sea far away. This hillside is only a few hundred meters away from the coast. There is a faint sound of waves coming down the sea breeze.

    At the entrance of the manor, Shaar looked at the tall building in front of him and couldn’t help but have some doubts.

    If it is said that this is Lord Duke's resting place, it is already night, look up, the manor is dark – isn't the Duke's house lighting at night?

    Moreover, outside this courtyard, it is cold and clear, and the flower garden is obviously somewhat run-down. This is not to say…There was some dust on the steps of the manor gate, and even a layer of green moss was born on the corners of the steps…Did the Duke’s family, even the gardeners who cleaned the flowers and the cleaning servants on weekdays?

    The door was deserted, not to mention the guards, and even the servants who greeted the horses did not!

    So cold and clear, where is the residence of a high-ranking Duke of Empire? !

    At first glance, Shaar suddenly felt alert in his heart, holding the handle of his waist in his hand and staring at the Rhody.

    Rhody jumped off the horse carriage, jumped up the steps in a few steps, slammed against the door and shouted aloud: "Hey, open the door and open the door, I am back!" People are also coming! ”

    This is a shouting of the rules of a big family, not to mention the Duke's house, but in the small aristocrat family in the country, there is no servant dare to scream like this!

    The doubts in Shaar's mind became deeper and deeper, and the eyes smashed into a line.

    The door of the manor was opened, and a head was revealed from it. A middle-aged woman with a look of rigor and rigor looked at Rhody, slightly frowning, then opened the door and said coldly, "How come back."

    Rhody stunned his head: "There were several caravans crossing the gate at the gate of the city, waiting in line for a while."After that, I turned back to Shaar: "Hey, this is the guest who invited, Lord Baron Shaar."

    After that, Rhody raised his hand at Shaar and smiled. "Lord Baron, my mission is complete, please come in."

    The old-fashioned woman with a look of sternness looked at Shaar with a gaze, and then seemed to be unwilling to go aside.

    Shaar looked at the door, the lights were dim, cold and clear – there was some hesitation in the heart: there were too many doubts in this place, and the Rhody said that it was the Duke's other hospital. These words are all deceiving! How can the Duke of the Empire live in this place…Hmph!

    Could it be…What is the enemy, cheating yourself here?

    I can look up, the badge on the manor gate, the totem pattern, looks quite old, the convex part of the metal badge has faded, but the pattern of the badge is exactly the family emblem of the Minas family. !

    The family emblem of the Minas family, Shaar once saw it in Ruhr, but this is not a fake. And the clan on the door is a long time, and it is not a temporary disguise.

    AlrightAlthough it was eccentric everywhere, Shaar was deeply inhaled, biting his teeth, glanced at the Rhody, or stepped up to the steps.

    In any case, I have already come to this place. It is a blessing or a curse. I can't hide.

    If it is really someone who has set up a whole set of things to deal with, I have come to the door, and now I am running around, and it’s too late. If people can set up an ambush in the house, can't they catch up? It’s not a big deal to run again at the moment. It’s better to go around and see what happens!

    Shaker touched the hilt and then the other hand plunged into his arms. Shaar had some regrets.

    He thought that he came to see Duke Minas, and he didn't wear dragonscales. His fire pitchfork didn't take it. Now he wears a normal long sword, and his body is just a warrior robes.

    Although he thought so, Shaar went up the steps and went to the door.

    The indifferent woman flashed to the side, and Shaar saw the other person's appearance. The woman had a black robe. The robe was old-fashioned and conservative, just like the nuns in the church, plus the woman's face. Expression – she is not really a nun?

    The woman held a candlestick in her hand and threw a cold cold at Shaar: "Come with me, don't go."

    Looking at the woman walking into the hall, Shaar had to keep up. I took two steps, and the door behind me slammed and slowly closed.

    The hall is very spacious, but it is also obviously outdated. There is a faint smell of dust in the air. The chairs in the middle of the hall are obviously not cleaned. The top is covered with a gray cloth. There is a stepped staircase on each side leading to the second floor.

    There was no light in the hall, but by the candlelight in the hand of the woman in front of him, she barely saw the outline around her, and the hall was very high, and the room was hollow and high, and the fence on the second floor could be clearly seen from the stairs on both sides, while the middle of the hall The lamp holder above is almost rusty.

    At the foot is a soft, high-quality carpet, but all the way through, but it has obviously raised some dust.

    Shaar’s doubts are getting thicker and thicker. The vigilance in his heart refers to the highest. He presses the hilt with one hand and walks up quickly. He follows the woman and pays attention to it. Once something changes, the first time will be This woman won first!

    The woman walked in front and did not care about Shaar's move. She did not take Shaar to the stairs on both sides, but went straight inside, went to the depths of the hall, and passed through a round arched hall door inside… …

    The two walked out of the hall, then, through a corridor, at the end of the corridor, the woman finally stopped and looked back at Shaar, seemingly dissatisfied, frowning: "What are you doing with me?"

    Shaar didn't answer, just looking at each other coldly.

    There was a trace of disgust in the woman's face, and then one hand pushed the door at the end of the corridor: "Hey, it's inside."

    Shaar looked out the door and walked two steps out of the door. The woman stood in the door and suddenly added: "The time is not too long! Come out soon! ”

    After that, she actually shut the door!

    Shaar stunned, and at this moment, the heart immediately raised it!

    Outside the door, here is a garden. It is clear that the house of the manor is in the shape of a ring, which is in the atrium of the building, at a glance, the area is very large, full of hundred steps of width, the foot is soft soil, the garden planted a bundle of shrubs, there are some obvious lack of pruning and appear messy holly trees, around the circle, Then the ground opened a flower garden, but this season, there is no blooming flowers, appears to be a broken, that flower garden in the black soil, so ** naked exposed there.

    Shaar looked at the past, but he was relieved. The terrain is not complicated. Obviously, there are not many holly trees. If it is an ambush, there are really few ambushes here.

    At the moment, Shaar has already made sure that he is definitely not Duke Minas waiting for himself! I am afraid that I was deceived by people.

    He was simply welcome. He gently took the sword out and raised it in his right hand. He slowly walked into the atrium garden step by step, then looked around and said coldly: "Hey! There are no living people! Make a sound! Who is seeing me, deceive me to this damn place? ”

    He shouted twice, and after looking around, he finally stared at the direction of the slightly taller holly in the distance—the only place in the yard where you can hide is!

    Sure enough, when Shaar stared at it, the holly tree suddenly swayed, and the green shrub seemed to be alarmed. It shook slightly, and a figure flashed from the tree.

    Then a little starlight, the figure is tall, looking far away, the head is afraid of not being able to keep up, long and thin and long shadow.

    Shaar walked two steps, but suddenly he saw the man in the distance rubbing his hands with both hands, as if it was a tool for igniting fire. With a bang, a group of flames came out.

    The man held a candle in his hand and carefully lit the candlelight. Under the candlelight, a familiar face looked at Shaar with a happy smile. The face was a little faint, and the eyes seemed to be resentful, and the corners of the mouth were filled with a slight smile. In the eyes, there were two bright lights.

    "Hey, hillbilly, don't you recognize me?"

    As soon as Shaar saw the other person's appearance, his heart suddenly sighed and then ecstasy.

    "Is it? You…pitiful creature? ! ”
