Chapter 177 Light Sleep

The "supplementary setting" that Gawain said was a very new word to Amber and Knight Philip, but it was not complicated to explain its meaning. Gawain only said a few words, and the two understood the meaning of the word.

"That is to say, what is going on in this castle is like a stage play, and everyone in the castle is an 'actor' who is in it but doesn't know it?" Knight Philip said his understanding, " Usually they live here as if they were hypnotized. Because of the long-term mental interference, they are not aware of the inconsistencies in their daily life. However, outsiders like us have broken the 'logic' of the stage play, the plot and the The inconsistency of the facts made the play unplayable, so the mastermind behind the creation and maintenance of the stage had to patch his own 'script'?"

Amber looked at Knight Philip up and down several times, until the upright and sincere young man was covered in hair before he said, "Hey - what you said made me even more goosebumps!"

"My lord, I think we should stop this evil ritual immediately!" Philip ignored Amber, but said with a serious face, "Kant's arrest of refugees is probably not something that has happened recently, and their evil deed even It may have been hidden for decades! Innocents who entered the land during this period and whose whereabouts are unknown should all become sacrifices to maintain the illusion - to put the entire castle under the influence of this sorcery, all it takes is The price is huge!"

"Yes," Amber rarely showed a positive attitude, "every minute counts for human life!"

Gao Wen frowned and looked at the two in front of him: "How do you think we should start?"

"If it really doesn't work, just showdown with that old man. When confronted, if he wants to admit you, he will cut him. If he doesn't admit you, he will try to get him to admit it and then cut him," Amber slammed hard, "There should be no one in this castle. If someone can beat you, then you go first."

Not only Gawain, but even Philip had long been accustomed to Amber's style of "whoever gets in first, I won't get in anyway", he just gave the half-elf a contemptuous look, and then nodded slowly: "Sir, I don't care. There is no doubt that Victor Kant is the main messenger of all this - he is the only one in the entire Kant territory who has the motive and the ability to carry out this evil act..."

"Is Victor Kant a black hand..." Gawain did not directly respond to the two's proposal, but expressed his own doubts, "Actually, there is one thing I can't figure out: even if Kant doesn't usually communicate with the outside world, There should always be two or three of the most basic visitors every year. Could it be that we are the only ones that caused the loopholes in the 'large illusion' in the castle? People who came here before have never noticed? That Mrs. Lilith Kant every day She would come out from the North Tower at night and walk around the castle, but no other servants ever saw her? If other servants saw her, then those servants never talked to other servants on the territory when they left the castle to run errands. Did someone mention 'there's a living viscountess in the castle'?"

Amber frowned when he heard the words: "No other visitors found it easy to explain, normal people who come to be guests should not be like us from the beginning, with the mentality of investigating other people's old bottoms to ask for information, and as for the people in the castle. People... are all hypnotized, maybe as soon as they leave this castle, their cognition and memory will be completely changed?"

Seeing that Gawain was still thinking, Amber finally couldn't help but mutter: "If I were you, I wouldn't hesitate, that old man is obviously wrong, if you grab him and beat him, everything will be clear. What!"

Although Knight Philip usually looks old-fashioned, at this time his mind is better than Amber: "You are worried that in case of misjudgment,

Will our actions here stimulate the noble system in the entire southern region, causing them to be wary of Cecil's pioneering leadership? "

"Actually, I'm not worried about them. Those big and small lords in the south have no sense of existence here," Gawain shook his head, "I just always feel that we have overlooked something. Kant, but...would it be that simple?"

A cultist, or an aristocrat who is bewitched and controlled by a cultist, must be extremely vigilant and cunning, especially when he is carrying out a hideous and evil ritual, his vigilance will be so great that even if the outsider is just standing there. It would be regarded as a needle-felt level there, but that Victor Kant's performance from beginning to end was too relaxed and too defenseless.

Is this pure acting? Still have a lot of support, so you are not afraid of being dismantled? Or...the person who really controls all this is not Viscount Kant himself?

Crack - boom!

A string of huge thunder suddenly sounded high in the sky, and the window was instantly illuminated as bright as day, and then after a few seconds, the pea-sized raindrops cracked down, on the stone outer wall and crystal of the castle. A series of dense noises splattered on the windows.

As night fell, a new rainstorm also fell on the land,

The flash of thunder and lightning passed through the narrow high window, causing the study to suddenly light up. Viscount Victor Kant, who was sitting behind the desk, suddenly raised his head with a blank expression on his face, while the flash of lightning flashed from behind him. Turn him into a black shadow in the backlight, and project his figure across the desk and onto Carter, the old housekeeper not far away.

When the flash of thunder and lightning faded, dim lighting was restored in the study, and the brilliance of the magic spar lamp became strange and obscure again in this room, making everything shrouded in shadowy texture.

Viscount Victor Kant suddenly said for no reason: "Carter, you have served the Kant family for many years."

The old butler suddenly stepped forward and walked to the desk in front of him—or to the old master behind the desk, with an expressionless face, and he whispered vague words: "The intruder has detected the second level of consciousness, and the subconscious shielding area has loosened. "

Victor Kant just watched this scene quietly: "Old friend, your dedication has exceeded your responsibility, I wanted to thank you very early, but I didn't say it, this is my regret …”

The old housekeeper bypassed the desk and stood in front of the old master. He lowered his head and looked at the person he had sworn allegiance for his entire life: "The computing node is under threat, and the exposure risk exceeds 50%... Priority is given to ensuring the concealment of computing nodes."

A silver dagger was drawn out, shining a silver light in the dimly lit room, then drawing a short arc, piercing a chest that was not strong but still warm.

The old lord's body twitched, and a strange sound came from his throat, and his eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of dreamlike starlight. He looked at the expressionless face of the butler Carter, and whispered. Said: "Kant family...Thank you...for your loyalty."

The butler let go of the dagger and let the old master's blood stain his body, staining his dark coat and white shirt with blood. Then he turned around, pushed open the door of the study, and swaggered into the corridor.

A maid who was mopping the floor looked up and saw the housekeeper walking out of the lord's study. She hurriedly stood up to say hello, but the next time she saw the blood stained on the old gentleman's clothes, and his also stained with blood. , Indifferent and cold face.

Butler Carter raised his hand, and a lavender, faint energy radiance condensed and formed in his hand: "You see it!"

The young maid finally couldn't hold back her fear and screamed: "Ah!!"

The maid's scream resounded through the entire floor in an instant, and could even be heard clearly in the rooms on the lower floor. The three people who were talking in Gawain's room were instantly interrupted by the scream. They heard great fear in the cry.

The three looked at each other and rushed out of the door in unison.

The servants who were on duty at night were already alarmed by the sound, and the servants and maids ran out from every corner. People running in the corridors were instantly filled with figures, and when Gawain and the others reached the third floor of the castle, here A lot of people have already gathered.

The screaming maid fell to the ground, but there was no trauma. She was only temporarily in a coma due to excessive panic. After a basin of cold water was poured, she quickly woke up, and then shouted loudly, "The housekeeper is being The devil is possessed", "he is covered in blood", "he came out of the master's study" and so on and so on.

Hearing the words of the maid shouting intermittently, Gao Wen's heart was instantly energized, and some sudden flashes of thoughts emerged from his mind. At the same time, he strode forward and looked at the terrified girl: "Where did the housekeeper run to?"

"That... over there!" The maid pointed at the end of the corridor, an open window swayed violently in the wind and rain, "He cast a terrible spell on me, and flew out like a ghost!"

"Spell?" Gawain glanced down at the maid, but didn't see any traces of spell damage from the other party, but he didn't have time to think about it, but turned to Amber, "Go after you—if you find it, don't Fight, and report back in time!"

Amber didn't wait for Gawain to finish her instructions, but she was already running towards the window, and her figure gradually faded as she ran. Her voice came from the air: "Going out to chase people in heavy rain is a bonus..."

A dim shadow rushed into the rainy night, and Gawain turned his head and strode toward the study not far away.

Viscount Victor Kant sat upright on the high back chair, with a sharp knife stuck in his chest, the blood spattered had already stained the table in front of him.

Several servants who followed Gawain immediately exclaimed when they saw this scene.

Philip and Gawain stepped forward together, the young knight chanted the name of the God of War in a low voice, and put his hand between the nose and mouth of the old Viscount, and the next second he exclaimed: "I'm still angry. !"

At this time, Gawain also noticed the position of the dagger: The old Viscount was really lucky. Although this knife was in a dangerous position, it seemed that it was blocked by the ribs and did not pierce the heart!

He's bleeding out and fainting now - but it won't be so easy after a while.

Gawain immediately took out the special healing potion prepared by Pittman from his arms, and at the same time activated the knight's skill "Blood Inspiration" to temporarily overdraw and extend the life of the old Viscount, and shouted loudly: "Go ask for a healer! Holy Light! A priest or a druid will do!"
