The storm was coming fiercely. When Flower Town was swayed by the strong wind and dust flew all over the sky, for a moment, the whole world suddenly became quiet.
Then, big raindrops pattered on the top of the castle's spire, as if a basin of water had been poured down, and splashes were everywhere when it hit the ground.
From the kennel, Dousen barked loudly.
In a room downstairs, Curly Blessing was also calling "Quack" and "Quack".
Outside the castle and inside the castle, there are two worlds.
Listening carefully, Liszt could hear the servants chatting together in the kitchen and dining room downstairs - the rainstorm was coming, and there was nothing to do but chat.
The footsteps of Mr. Carter were wandering upstairs and downstairs. He was always wandering around, inspecting every aspect of the castle. Mrs. Morson, who was inspecting the maids for cleaning, met Carter, seemed to have a few words, and evaluated the work performance of the maids and maids.
The two housekeepers are dedicated to their responsibilities.
Fifteen servants, but getting along with them is not always pleasant.
Thomas's attitude towards the male servants is very bad, but he is Liszt's personal servant and has a high status, so no one dares to say anything.
Not only did he often find fault with the male servants and make sarcastic remarks from time to time, but sometimes he was not so respectful to Carter.
Carter has always wondered why Liszt tolerated such a bad Thomas--Thomas destroyed the loving family atmosphere of the castle servants.
All I can say is.
Carter and Liszt have different identities and look at problems from different angles.
Carter tries to make the castle full of harmony and friendship.
But Liszt doesn't want that - if the servants all unite, he, the master, will feel uncomfortable. Just imagine, a servant makes a mistake, and because the relationship is so good, all the servants help hide it, wouldn't it mean that he can fool Liszt as much as he wants.
Without Thomas, the servants would become more and more indulgent.
With Thomas watching over you and looking for trouble at any time, the servants will work cautiously.
Those in power always want to place a few confidants in lower-level organizations. This is why even school teachers know that they need to cultivate a few classmates who are good at making small reports among their students.
There was no option to eavesdrop on how the servants chatted.
Liszt's expression is slightly serious.
His thoughts were wandering. "Does such a thing as a ghost really exist in this world?"
When the predecessor was a child, the bedtime stories passed down orally mentioned ghosts. Legend has it that ghosts are souls that leave the body after death. They have no consciousness and just wander aimlessly.
Almost no one has actually seen a ghost.
He searched all the memories of his predecessor and found that Coral Island had never heard of anyone encountering ghosts. Among the more than a hundred knight novels he had read recently, there were several books about ghosts, but most of them were like vampires, werewolves, and mine zombies. They were relatively unpopular and infrequently appeared as minor monsters.
When I watched it before, I just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously.
The reason why he thinks of ghosts again now is because Smoke Mission reminds him of ghosts.
"Mission: An old and dilapidated sunken ship is exposed to the weather on the beach, but fishermen passing by the sunken ship often feel a chill down their spines. It seems that there is something in the sunken ship, staring at them and making them afraid to approach. Please find out the reason. Reward: A broken skeleton."
The sunken ship with five treasure chests hidden inside, Liszt, was not chopped up and used as firewood.
He felt that the sunken ship could barely be regarded as a tourist attraction, so he put it on Oyster Hamlet to increase the historical heritage of Oyster Hamlet. He was also planning to have people take good care of the sunken ship when there is time.
Unexpectedly, this sunken ship actually hides a secret.
"What will be in the sunken ship? When the previous patrol was looking for treasure, they had rummaged through the entire ship inside and out. Except for some cloth, grain residues and five treasure chests, there was nothing else... Or rather, there was something, but it was not easy to see?"
It was easy for him to start making associations - ghosts, dirty things, shipwrecks, Ghost Ship, and finally associated with legendary things like ghosts.
Thunder!
A bright light flashed outside the castle, followed by a rumble of thunder.
The wind blew again, accompanied by the sound of raindrops, separating the castle from everything outside.
Walking to the window, he put down a block of wood and looked at the rain outside. Liszt felt like he was isolated from the world. Loneliness came to his heart, and he suddenly realized that he had been here for half a year. He had entered the world of magic and fighting spirit from the world of scientific and technological civilization.
Can't say good or bad.
In his hometown, the living standard is higher, but he is just a hard working overtime dog.
Here, the living standard is relatively poor, but he is a noble with supreme power, has more fighting spirit to strengthen his body, and is immune to all diseases.
"Comparatively speaking, I prefer my current life, and I like the scene of the maids busying around in front of me..." There was a smile on his lips, but he didn't get too entangled.
Soon my thoughts returned to Smoke Mission.
"If there is really a ghost in the sunken ship, then this ghost must be eradicated as soon as possible to avoid endangering the lives of the fishermen... The mission reward is a broken skeleton. Does this have anything to do with the ghost?"
He really wanted to go to the shipwreck now, find out the cause, and complete the mission.
But it was raining heavily outside and it was difficult to travel.
I can only stay in the castle and wait boredly.
But wait.
That's three days.
Heavy rains, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, flooded the entire town. Fortunately, the town-wide wooden houses were repaired in advance. The patrol team patrolling in the rain has not found any collapsed wooden houses. Bug Grass is also safe and sound. Even the most vulnerable Black Nightshade Bug Grass is still intact because of the protection in place.
However, after three days of heavy rain, two people died.
An old serf went out to pick vegetables, accidentally slipped and fell, and could not get up. Another mother of three children went to the beach to collect shells in the rain, but she fell seriously ill and died after returning.
"Collecting shells at the beach?"
Liszt listened to Gortai's report, and his heart moved. "Could it be related to the sunken ship?"
He immediately asked, "Teacher Gortai, has the body of the woman who died of illness been examined? Is there anything wrong?"
"Check the body. Sorry, sir, I didn't check the body. I thought it was just a serf who died of illness. This kind of thing happens very commonly."
Maybe Liszt is too sensitive.
But he still decided to personally examine the body of the woman who died of illness. "Teacher Gortai, you have to be sensitive. Recently, fishermen have reported that there is something wrong with the sunken ship, as if there is some kind of dirt. I suspect that the death of this woman may be related to the sunken ship."
"Shipwreck?" Gortai didn't know why.
He had not heard any similar news at all, but Liszt mentioned that he had to pay attention to it - he believed that Liszt had many informants in Flower Town, and nothing could escape Liszt's attention.
"Then, sir, I will go over and make arrangements right away. Do you want to go with us to examine the body?"
"Let's get together."
It's a new week, please give me some recommendation votes~
