“The more I listened, the more frightened I became. I directly knocked on the butler’s door. He opened the door and took away the dinner plate and drove me away. It may be that I was still old I’m young, I can’t do anything even if I hear it…”

After finishing speaking, seeing that the suspicion in Richard’s eyes had not faded, Sarah’s strong desire to survive made Sarah quickly explained: “The housekeeper is usually right We underage servants are very disdainful and don’t even want to talk, so I think so. My lord, what I say is true, please believe me!”

The girl begged, About to kneel down, Richard thought for a while, felt that what she said also made sense, so he nodded, took out a piece of cloth from his waist, took the right hand sword back in front of him, wiped the blood on it, and then inserted it back. Scabbard.

“Don’t be afraid, I will ask the other servants in the castle later, if they can prove that what you said is correct, then you will be fine.” Richard lightly said, the words fell. , He changed the conversation again, and decided to give a big stick to a sweet date later: “Moreover, not only will you be fine, but I will also give you generous rewards to regain your freedom.”

However, Sarah, who was given sweet dates, showed joy like Richard imagined. Instead, she refused the reward he wanted to give, saying: “I don’t want to reward, I just want to leave here with you , You can be your servant.”

Although the girl is still young, she is very smart. She knows that her whistleblower is likely to be spread out. She is very May be retaliated, or be squeezed out, and with the generous rewards given by the noble master, it is destined to not last long. As a little girl, how can she protect wealth that is inconsistent with her own strength?

In contrast, following this young aristocrat who is said to be the Viscount is the most correct choice. At least following him, reporting meritorious self can lead a better life than before.

If Richard knew that the little girl in front of him had such meticulous thoughts hidden under the dirty appearance, he would be very moved. If this was in his previous life, a girl of her age would still be worry-free. Reading elementary school carelessly, with a simple mind, it turned out that the child of the poor was in charge early.

Seeing that the girl’s tone was firm, Richard didn’t oppose her choice. Anyway, he just kept one more mouth that’s all. The daily salary of so many soldiers under him would be enough for him to have a headache. Adding a thin girl is nothing. Difference.

……

With a castle servant who seemed to be credible by her side, Richard asked her to lead herself and the others directly to Gould’s bedroom And see if you can find any useful clues.

After entering the Castle Lord building in the city, a few fully armed soldiers just rushed past. A elite Batanian soldier at the head saw Richard for a moment and stopped quickly and reported: ” Sir, the first floor was searched and no enemy was found, but we found the entrance to the cave hidden under the carpet in one of the rooms that looked like a study. A brother is surrounded there.”

“oh?”

Richard eyes slightly narrowed, and then stretched out again. After thinking about it, he felt that he should go to the hole first. He turned to Sarah and said to Sara: “You take these soldiers to Gould’s room.”

After speaking, he ordered the soldiers again: “You follow this girl to the heights. Go to Elder’s room and keep it under strict control. Don’t let anyone in or out.”

“Understood, Sir Alex.”

Several soldiers promised, just about to follow Shiver coldly scared by them, Sarah walked up the stairs, but Walter behind Richard suddenly said: “My lord, I will go with them. No one of them can read. I can find some in advance. Clues, by the way, confirm if it’s Gould’s room.”

“Okay.” Richard nodded agreed and asked the soldiers to obey Walter’s orders, and then asked the elite soldier to point to the direction of the room. Separate from each other.

The main castle is not big, so Richard and Phyllis quickly found a place. They stood at the door of the room before entering, they found that the door of this room was split from the outside and slanted. It was attached diagonally to the wall, and the ground was full of wood chips and debris. At first glance, it was the product of a violent breach.

Entering the room, Olier and the three soldiers were really discussing something around the invisible black hole. One of them spotted the two Richard who came in, and quickly took his comrades to Richard and saluted together. Greetings, Richard nodded, staring at the entrance of the cave, and said: “What’s the situation?”

The entrance of the cave is going down with stairs, and only the top steps can be seen through the dim firelight. , The lower you go, the more you can’t see clearly.

Auriel didn’t talk nonsense about how they discovered it, straight to the point and replied: “My lord, we suspect that this cave leads to somewhere outside, and the enemy is still hiding underneath. Because we can hear the faint conversation from below from time to time.”

“Then why don’t you send someone down to check it out?” Phyllis, who was beside Richard, frowned and asked, but his eyes were See the hired Swordsman beside Olier.

The hired Swordsman somewhat guilty, who was stared at by his boss, lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at his gaze. Olier quickly explained: “We are going down to check. When you come in, We are just discussing who is going to be the first to go down.”

“I know what you are worried about.” Richard laughed, he asked Phyllis to bring a torch hung on the wall and walk to the entrance of the cave. , Throw the torch inside, and the torch fell all the way down the stairs. After falling for almost ten steps, it fell to the ground. It was still burning and there was no sign of extinguishing.

“Being able to burn for so long, it means that there is still oxygen flowing inside, even more how, you say that you can hear human conversations from time to time, which means it’s all right inside.” Richard explained to them. It doesn’t matter if they can understand what oxygen means.

Next, he asked Phyllis to bring a torch, and he was about to take the lead to the entrance of the cave.

Seeing that Richard was going to risk going down first, Phyllis quickly stopped him. He grabbed the torch in Richard’s hand and said, “Lord, let me go ahead. There may be an enemy’s ambush inside. “

Richard certainly knows the truth. He wants to go down first just to wait for the person who stopped him to appear. Seeing that Phyllis is so loyal, he agrees and lets Phyllis take it in one hand. Holding the shield and holding the torch in one hand, he took the lead to go down.

Phyllis: I may be the most loyal mercenary in history, but the employer’s routine is too deep.
