Chapter 7 "Madam Red"
Susie knocked on the car door helplessly, "Mr. Raymond Camus, how can I know where this legendary wonder is?
This was said by "Sequence Eight", "One of the Four Swords", "Sword God Kiddie". He has seen this wonder and knows what the "taboo" text on it is. He translated it himself. If you still want to ask where the Sword God is, I think you can find a stone to smash yourself to death. This Sequence Eight that has climbed to the top of the "Third Age" is not something you and I can peek at.
Camus sighed in disappointment when he heard it. It seems that he can't find the "Golden Libra" that brought him here, so he can only ask for other information.
"Miss Susie, how many "sequences" are there? I seem to have encountered an "unreasonable" existence. Today is a bad day. I have seen several sequences. Bad luck has favored me. It must be. ”
“Sequence”, it is said that there are “seventeen” sequences. The formulas of some sequences are in the hands of some “ancient” organizations. Some ancient organizations even exist across “four eras”. They are really suffocating existences.”
“I only know a few formulas. The formula of Sequence One Gravekeeper is in the hands of “Underworld Palace”, the formula of Sequence Eight Soldier is in the hands of “Adventurer Guild”, and the three formulas of Sequence Five “Prayer”, “Ascetic” and “Idealist” are all in the hands of the Church of the Sun. As for the others, I’m sorry I don’t know.
“If “fate” allows you to join the ranks of extraordinary people, you will know that no one can stop it.”
Hearing Susie’s heavy tone, Camus shrugged, “Maybe, knowing such an intoxicated existence, how can you know what “guidance” is if you don’t go and see it.”
Just as the two were chatting happily, a carriage drove side by side with Camus and the two of them, and a strange voice came.
"Oh... it must be the guidance of fate... "Miss Rabbit", you see we meet again, good evening."
Kamui knew it was that guy Gao Ruisi as soon as he heard it. He really hadn't been beaten enough, and he came to give up his "head" again.
"Guide?" "Cheater" "Why are you following me? I don't believe this is a guide, you terrible guy."
"Hehe... Miss Rabbit, I really came here to do a mission. It is said that the traces of "Wolf Beauty" appeared in Wolf Hill. Some guys with "small money" are very "impulsive". Let me show you my mission card."
Susie stopped the carriage and pointed to the front, "Hippie guy, you go in front and I go in the back. If you don't agree, let's show it to each other?"
Goryes paused and looked deeply at the carriage, "Of course I won't disturb your secret tryst with "Mr. Elf". It's really an enviable race." He said and drove forward.
Seeing Gao Ruisi leave, Miss Susie whispered to the carriage, "Cheaters" are not trustworthy, and she should be careful later. "
"Okay, got it."
The Wolf Hills at night are always so dark. Apart from the bumpy sound of the carriage on the gravel road, not even a bug can be heard. Camus pulled open the white curtains and looked out, and found that it was pitch black outside and he could not see anything. The carriage rushed past, and the tall trees on the side of the road were like standing black giants. For a moment, the air was a little heavy.
"Ms. Susie, are we there?"
"Of course, as you expected, we will be there soon. In about three minutes, we will see the village of Wolf Hills, and the Lolandic Manor is also there. I hope everything goes well for us."
"Has that guy left?"
"Maybe. I said that deceivers cannot be trusted. Although we have never offended him, we still have to be careful. Their power is a little... "weird".
…
Not far away, Gao Ruisi rode a horse and stood in the woods, watching the carriage go away and murmured, "I hope "it" didn't lie to me, there are "sad tears" here."
After a while, Camus and the others arrived at a manor, looking at the long stone wall and the rusty gate and standing quietly.
"It looks like this manor is very large. Has anything tragic happened here, Miss Susie?"
Susie looked at the silent manor and spoke slowly.
"In the 276th year of the Principality of Draf, on May 24, this day is also the day to pray to the sun. "Red Lady" led his servants to pray in the "famous" "Red Church". Unexpectedly, a fire broke out in the church. There were a total of 52 people, but only three ran out. All three were "crazy" and kept saying that there were "demons" in the church. They would only repeat this sentence, and they died a few days later. "It is said" that they "committed suicide". The necks of the three were cut and blood was all over the floor.
The nearby villagers also spied on the manor, but they didn't expect that after they moved in, a fire broke out in the hunting ground, killing seven people. When the villagers were burying these people, they heard strange laughter from the cemetery in the manor, and there was a "red shadow" floating by the window. The villagers were afraid and moved out. The Adventurer's Guild and the Church of the Sun sent people to perform the "expulsion" and "exile" ceremonies, but found nothing and had to give up.
"But in the past three years, some nearby villagers have seen that "indescribable" existence, and the Adventurer's Guild has also sent people, but unfortunately they all returned in vain. I have heard of his name several times, but I didn't expect to see it today."
Hearing these descriptions, Camus had a toothache. It looked dangerous no matter how he looked at it. Let's get to know the details first. Now that we are here, although "selling blood" is a way out, it is not appropriate to sell blood every day.
"Why is Yoder Mary called "Red Lady"?
Susie pointed at Camus. He wore a robe like you, and it was red. All the clothes were red. She was noble, cold, cold, wise, and her voice was like a swan. People named her "Red Lady" Mary.
"Also, Mr. Elf, did you dig this dress out of the garbage dump? Not only does it have holes, it even smells moldy."
When Camus heard this, he smiled helplessly, "I also want to change clothes, but I have no money. I still hope this mission can save my life."
"What is the layout inside? Where should we start the investigation first?"
"This manor is very large. There are family cemeteries, red churches, hunting grounds, forest farms, and residential areas. It is enough for us to investigate three places: cemeteries, churches, and residential areas. "
"Go and take out the oil lamp under the seat, we will go in now."
Camus looked at the hazy building in the dark night, silently took out the oil lamp and matches from under the seat, lit the oil lamp and handed one to Susie.
"Don't you have to go in during the day? Isn't it bad at night?"
Susie lit up Camus' face when she heard the oil lamp.
"I have a class tomorrow, which is a very important history of the Third Age. I will go tonight. If you are afraid, follow me."
After saying that, the two pushed open the door. As soon as the door opened, the dust on the crack of the door fell down. The two frowned and waved.
"It's been a long time since anyone came here. Let's go in. It is estimated that the people who investigated last time did not come in at all. There are no footprints on the steps inside. "
At this time, the two began to look around the manor. The whole manor was shrouded in the night. Because no one had cleaned it for a long time, the weeds inside were knee-high. There was a gravel road in the middle leading directly to the house in the distance. There was a dilapidated building on both sides. Not far away, there was a row of steel fences that isolated the house alone. Several big trees stood alone in the open space.
"The farm is on the left, and the servants' residence is on the right. Their houses were burned and only ruins were left. Let's go to the big house first."
The oil lamp dragged the shadows of the two people very long. As the two walked, the grass made some sparse sounds. It was the sound of mice, crickets, and snakes startled by the light and running to stir up the weeds. A group of crows on the trees were also startled by the light and made a "quack" sound, which echoed in the empty manor. Feeling this different atmosphere, Camus got goose bumps. He held the oil lamp and looked around nervously, as if there was an "unknown existence" in the dark spying on the two of them.
"It's a bad day. I must remember this special day. ”
Just then Susie stopped Camus, “No, why are there crows here? They are the “messengers of death” announcing the existence of death. There is no one here, so where does the “announcement” come from?
After thinking for a while, Susie turned around and left, “Let’s talk about it tomorrow. The atmosphere here is too weird, which makes me feel “very uncomfortable”. It seems that those villagers are not “talking nonsense”.”
“Uh… This place is so deserted, isn’t it normal for crows to settle down here?”
Susie shook her head, “No… Crows represent “announcement”, which means predicting what will happen.
