"Humph! What a disgusting thing! Look at what he looked like just now!"

"That's right!"

"Isn't it just that you were lucky enough to be chosen by the mage and cast the disguise magic? You really thought you were the boss!"

"That's right!"

"What's wrong with having fun in advance? She's just a little girl who hasn't awakened the power of her bloodline. She needs to be careful so she won't be discovered. She doesn't dare to say anything nonsense even if she is threatened!"

"That's right!"

Outside the courtyard, two attendants stood side by side in front of the grass, dispensing water.

One person was cursing and the other person was constantly echoing.

This area is quite desolate, surrounded by abandoned houses, and occasionally some skinny homeless people can be seen casting curious glances at the two of them.

"What are you looking at! If you look at it again, it will shoot your eyeballs out!"

The cursing attendant shouted with eyes wide open.

He flashed the hand crossbow on his waist, which frightened the homeless man into retreating into the house instantly.

"What a bad luck! When I finish this order and get the source of power and become a knight, I will never come to this ghost place again!"

The attendant snorted coldly, put away his crossbow and pulled up his pants.

After relaxing, the two of them glanced around briefly, then turned and walked back to the courtyard.

This area is quite remote and few people come here on weekdays.

The Castel family had already arranged for people to contain them, and they ran around several times along the way without worrying that anyone would discover the truth and chase after them in a short period of time.

Next, they have plenty of time to hand over the goods!

When they thought about the reward they were about to receive, their hearts filled with anticipation.

"Hurry up! Who knows if that guy is really pushing us away to be on guard, or if he wants to secretly have some fun in advance. The eldest lady of the Castel family is a beauty that even the gods will covet!"

"That's right!"

"Damn it! You said... he shouldn't really be eating alone, right?"

"Just...well, what you said seems to make sense! Let's go quickly!"

The two attendants immediately quickened their pace.

However, as soon as they took a few steps, a shrill scream came from the direction of the courtyard, which was extremely clear in the deep night.

The two people's figures suddenly stopped.

"Just now...who was that?"

"It seems... it's a hunting ax..."

They looked at each other, their expressions changed slightly, and then they immediately picked up the hand crossbows and became twelve points more vigilant.

"There may be situations, let's be careful!"

The two looked at each other, nodded secretly, then clenched their crossbows and walked cautiously towards the courtyard.

The night was deep, and the mercury-like moonlight fell on the ground, giving the dilapidated courtyard a strange and mysterious feel.

After that scream, no sound could be heard in the courtyard.

There are only the rustling of leaves in the night wind, the rustling of insects in the grass, and the occasional hoarse cat call...

"Hunting ax—hunting ax—?"

Two attendants stood at the entrance of the courtyard, shouting from a distance.

However, there was no response.

The night wind blew in, and it was cool and dark, bringing with it a strong smell of blood, which made the two of them feel a thump in their hearts.

They looked at each other and saw a dignified look in each other's eyes.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the two subconsciously clenched the crossbows in their hands. It seemed that only this powerful weapon could give them some sense of security.

They walked in cautiously.

The courtyard was eerily silent.

The deeper you go, the richer the smell of blood becomes.

When the two saw the carriage parked in front of the house, their pupils suddenly shrank.

Blood……

There's blood everywhere...

The carriage has been destroyed and the packhorse has disappeared. The tattered carriage looks like it has been rained with blood. There is blood everywhere you look!

In a pool of blood not far from the carriage, there lay a hunting ax wearing a servant uniform.

His appearance is no longer that of an ugly old servant, but that of a rugged middle-aged man.

But at this moment, his eyes were protruding, his tongue was hanging out, and he looked very frightened.

That expression... seemed to be seeing something extremely terrifying.

His body was covered with traces of being torn apart by beast-like claws, his limbs were twisted to incredibly strange angles, and his chest and abdomen were cut open directly.

The rich smell of blood hit his face, carrying a suffocating stench.

The expressions of the two attendants changed almost instantly.

"Lup...Loop, look over there!"

One of the attendants pulled the other's sleeve, pointed to the ground and said tremblingly.

The other person looked along his direction and saw a hideous bloodstain on the ground starting from the front of the carriage and extending into the woods in the distance.

There was a rustle in the woods, as if something was moving.

Looking at the deep and dark forest, the two of them swallowed.

"Monsters...there must be monsters here!"

"Holy Lord! I know it! There must be a reason why the church has made this area a forbidden area for so many years!"

"Loop... or else, we give up the bounty... and leave quickly!"

The attendant who had been agreeing was obviously frightened, and he made a cross on his chest in a panic.

The other person's expression changed.

After a few breaths, he glanced at the empty carriage, gritted his teeth, and cursed in a low voice:

"Stupid! Don't you want the source of power seeds?"

"Not to mention the goods are gone. If we leave now, we will definitely die in the end!"

"Go over and see what it is!"

"Don't be afraid! Unlike hunting axes, we have hand crossbows!"

The other person hesitated.

But seeing the gloomy yet determined expression on his companion's face, he finally gritted his teeth and followed.

The two men held crossbows and walked towards the woods.

On the road, we can see some stumps of pack horses one after another.

The sounds in the forest gradually became clearer.

It seems like a wild beast is biting something...

The two of them felt that their hearts were pounding so hard that they almost jumped out of their chests.

Sweat soaked their backs, and their hands holding the crossbows felt a little numb.

Approaching the woods cautiously, the sounds in the woods became clearer and clearer.

The two of them held their breath, trembling slightly as they lifted up a treetop, and finally saw the scene in the forest clearly.

I saw the missing packhorse lying in the forest.

The packhorse was a corpse.

A petite black shadow is lying next to it, seeming to be sucking something...

The moonlight poured on the ground through the branches, illuminating the small figure clearly.

The white dress stained red with blood, the long golden hair stained with blood, and the side face that looked like a doll under the moonlight.

It was none other than the girl they kidnapped!

It's just that at this moment, the girl's beautiful profile was also stained with blood, making it a bit more cruel and monstrous.

"Holy Lord! Lupu! It's the little girl we brought here!"

The timid attendant could not help but whisper.
