Chapter 109 Is This Really the Count?
Lin En appropriately changed the process of discovering the truth and only told the truth, but he would never reveal that he had killed the lone wolf. Although Galvin was the old housekeeper here, he also watched Lin En grow up. , but he is not worthy of complete trust.
"There are no recovery potions in my territory, so there is no way to treat his injuries. Moreover, he was injured too seriously, which is a bit strange." Linn paused.
Galvin immediately asked: "What's so strange?"
"I felt the power of dark erosion from his wound. I couldn't suppress it at all. I could only watch the other person die. This energy seemed to be left by the dark cultists."
When Lin said this, he secretly paid attention to Galvin's facial expression and found that he showed a strange expression, a kind of knowing but unexpected expression.
The mixture of these two emotions is as awkward as possible.
Galvin sighed, "The dark cultists have still fallen."
Lynn: "What do you mean, aren't the dark believers all degenerate church members?"
"Not all dark cultists are corrupted. There are some things involved here, involving the royal family and the church. It is particularly complicated. Even I can't explain it clearly. But young master, if you meet the dark cultists, you must not do it directly like the Holy See. Once Provoking the other party will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble." Galvin warned.
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Lin En muttered in her heart, "Is there something hidden here?"
He didn't think much about it. There was a lot of trouble between divine authority and royal authority, and divine authority and divine authority were even more troubles within troubles. If they could avoid contact, they wouldn't be in contact.
Galvin continued: "Master, do you suspect that Master Phoenix's death is related to those mercenaries?"
"That's right, I went to Riverside Town before coming to the castle and found that it had been burned down. I couldn't find any clues at all. If the dark cultists killed him, why would they do such unnecessary things? In addition, let What surprised me the most was that a knight escaped. During the day, I asked other people in the castle and learned that the knight going to Phoenix was a junior knight, right?"
"Yes, junior knight Euro Berger is the youngest son of the Berger family. He has good talent and has the potential to become an intermediate knight. He has been training with knight Hans. He is very loyal to the Aulis nobles. No. There will be betrayals.”
Galvin obviously understood the meaning of Linn's words and dismissed his doubts.
Lin En nodded, "In short, this matter is very strange. According to my understanding, that group of mercenaries simply did not have the courage to attack the noble territory. There must be some driving force behind them."
Galvin said again, "Master, you have matured."
"Well, you will die if you are immature. Phoenix reminded me that we have become lords of our respective territories. Even if we are in danger, the castle cannot send people to save us in time. We can only rely on ourselves."
This is Lin En's true words, and it is also his emotion after returning.
Galvin had no right to speak in this matter. He could only say: "Tomorrow is Master Phoenix's funeral. Will you attend?"
"Funeral." Lin En's eyes lit up, "Will everyone in the castle attend this funeral?"
"right!"
"Where are the knights guarding father's chambers?"
"You think so?" Galvin was surprised.
"This is an opportunity that I can't miss. I have to go in and see what's going on with him."
Seeing the young master's firm eyes, Galvin's expression became serious, "I will find a way to create conditions for you to enter, but I hope you can tell me what you saw."
"good!"
Galvin left the room, while Linn stared at the door with burning eyes, thinking about things in his heart. He had a feeling that as long as he saw his father, all the mysteries would be solved.
The next day.
There was the sound of musical instruments outside, and Linn left the room, standing behind the stone pillar and looking down, where the people in the castle were holding a funeral for Phoenix.
Among the Earl's children, except for Lynn, only Wright was there, and none of the others came back, which meant that the castle did not notify them.
It is really strange that a nobleman dies without telling his brothers and sisters.
And the funeral is a bit special, more people from the church.
He looked at the woman standing at the front. She had an excellent appearance. From her appearance, she didn't look like someone who had given birth to multiple children. There was not a single wrinkle on her face. No one would doubt her even if she was twenty years old.
The other party is Shani, the current mistress of the castle.
There was a sad expression on her face, and I have to say that she did a good job on the surface.
Linn felt someone approaching, turned around and saw a valet, "Master, Butler Galvin asked me to come over and tell you that the funeral is about to begin."
"I see."
Linn walked down, but disappeared around a corner. When he came out again, he was already on another staircase.
That sentence was a code word set by him and Galvin. As long as he said it, it would mean that the knight at the door of the Earl's room had left.
Lin En walked quickly without any ink marks, and finally arrived at the Earl's room.
The knights guarding here disappeared, and it is not known what method Galvin used to lure them away.
Linn reached out and pushed open the door.
A strong and strange smell floated out and rushed straight to Linn's door. Unprepared, Linn took a sniff and felt a little dizzy. He immediately used Knight Guard to isolate the smell from the outside.
Lin En entered the room, which was filled with purple mist, which was constantly flowing as if it was alive.
What's this?
Lin En had doubts in his heart. He did not dare to let go of the knight's guard, lest he would be affected by the mist.
As he gradually walked forward, he came to the bed in the room, and at a glance he saw a man lying half-lying on it, holding a long tube in his hand, and a fire light lit up from time to time at the end.
Every time it lights up and goes out, you can see purple mist being spit out.
Linn waved his hand to disperse the fog slightly, revealing a man with a withered body and skin and bones. He was smoking a long pipe and spitting out smoke.
The moment she saw it, Linn was shocked.
He could only tell from some of the other person's facial features that the man in front of him was the earl, his father.
But the Count in his memory was a powerful knight who wielded a sword to expand territory, kill enemies, and was knighted by the royal family. How could he become like this?
"You" Linn didn't know what to say for a moment.
As if hearing the voice, the other party opened his eyes, saw the person coming, thought for a while, and then said: "It's Lin En, why are you here? Do you want to absorb the purple dark fairy dust together?"
