On the way to the center of the estate, Diana saw lights flashing in the windows of some houses.
But she knew there was no one else inside.
After walking for a few minutes, Diana suddenly felt that her legs were as heavy as lead. She began to follow Chen Hao mechanically, lowering her eyes to look at her legs.
That kind of vigilance that only belonged to Rogge was forgotten at some point.
Butler Brand's attitude is very friendly, but he is too thin and too tall.
His deformed arms and legs were so long and thin, and he looked very hungry when he smiled.
Whenever she recalled the way Butler Brand looked at her, Diana's heart felt cold.
There are some faint stone houses, shops and narrow alleys leading to unknown directions on both sides of the street. Compared with the hustle and bustle of Rogge Camp, this place can be said to be lifeless.
No one went out shopping or came to the pub to drink and have fun. The townspeople around the road were talking to themselves like lunatics. Their faces looked like dried bacon, without any energy.
Diana looked at Chen Hao in front of her. Brother Chen Hao's generous and strong back made Diana feel a little at ease.
For more than a month after being separated from Chen Hao, Diana missed Chen Hao all the time.
She missed fighting with Chen Hao to defeat the devil, she missed sleeping peacefully in Chen Hao's arms, she missed Chen Hao personally putting on each piece of fine equipment for her, and she missed the story of Chen Hao holding her and giving her shelter...
.In short, Diana misses every day of adventure with Chen Hao.
Kasha's training is rigorous.
Although it was not life-threatening, the little girl suffered even more hardships in this month than in the past few years.
Her fingers were calloused from pulling the trigger of the crossbow.
Crossbows are different from bows and arrows. Crossbows can only shoot straight, and there is no way to use "bow fighting" to shoot arrows that can turn.
Not only that, Kasha also took the time to teach her the use of javelins and spears, as well as the control of magic.
And every time she persists to the end in intense training, Chen Hao's shadow appears in her mind.
Time passed very quickly, and when she saw Chen Hao appearing in front of her again, Diana couldn't say how happy she was.
Later, the permanent contract made the little Loli's heart secretly promise.
Perhaps, from the first time Chen Hao raised a wooden board in front of Diana so that she could shoot arrows with confidence, this ignorant little girl had already put all her thoughts on Chen Hao.
Even if Chen Hao no longer hires her after returning from Tristram, she will never be able to become a second person's mercenary again in this life.
This time when I went on an adventure with Chen Hao, Chen Hao became much stronger.
Seeing the gap between herself and brother Chen Hao, the little girl always looks for opportunities to express herself.
Use inner vision to see the farther road clearly, and use magic arrows to shoot down the annoying blood eagle...
Every time she gets praise from Chen Hao, the little girl feels that her life is worth it.
Suddenly, Diana had a nightmare.
She dreamed that Chen Hao's team was attacked by many monsters and demons, including a goat monster with glaring eyes and a bloody mouth, and a sharp-edged demon wielding a scimitar and making a weird laugh...
These monsters surrounded her and brother Chen Hao, but she could only watch from a distance as brother Chen Hao was literally torn to pieces by the demons.
"No, don't hurt brother Chen Hao!"
The little girl woke up suddenly, subconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed Chen Hao's clothes tightly.
As soon as there was a numb feeling in the palm of her hand, Diana shrank her neck as a muscle reflex. But this time, Chen Hao's hand did not fall on her head as usual, so as to reassure her not to panic.
Although Diana felt strange, she didn't say anything. She still followed the three of them mechanically, walking on the gravel road that led to nowhere.
...
"Ah! Ah!"
There was another howl in the distance.
Brand suddenly stood firm, turned around, and looked at Chen Hao with a half-smile.
Chen Hao's face still had the same expression as before, and he secretly admired Kasha's towering breasts under the moonlight.
"Why did you stop?" Kasha looked at the empty space around her and asked with a frown.
"Distinguished guest, a few flies just entered the manor and were chased away by the guards." Brand grinned, so exaggerated that it seemed as if his entire jaw would drop.
"Oh, that's just right!" Kasha showed a disgusted expression, "I hate that kind of creature the most. It keeps buzzing around you and barking, it's so annoying."
"Guests, please rest assured that such disgusting things will never be allowed to exist in the manor."
Chen Hao remained silent and did not speak.
Two more blood eagles were damaged in succession. It seems that the air defense capabilities of this manor are also very strong.
Following Brand, they walked for a while again. This time, everyone stopped in front of an old castle.
"This is the Earl's home, and the Earl is waiting for you inside." Brand showed a bright smile, "The Earl said, you can stay as long as you want."
Brand's voice made Kasha shudder, and she felt a chill running down her spine.
She looked around at the houses crowded in the night behind her, always feeling like something was crawling in the shadows of these houses.
But when she looked carefully, she found nothing.
Just as the witch was fleeing, Chen Hao pinched Kasha's little finger, grabbed her hand, and followed Brand and the guards up the steps.
The castle door slowly opened, making a harsh sound.
A huge cave-like foyer appeared in front of everyone. At the end of the corridor in the distance was a huge fireplace. There was a strong flame burning in the fireplace, but no one could feel the warmth at all.
The lights on the wall illuminated pieces of exquisite woven cotton hanging on iron hooks. A breeze blew, causing the woven cotton to sway. Their projections danced back and forth on the stone floor, like black wings that were constantly flapping.
.
"What? Are you cold?" Looking at Kasha who shrank her neck, Chen Hao asked quietly.
The witch nodded. Although there were so many flames here, she still wanted to take out her staff and cast the heating.
The crowd followed Brand through the hall, their footsteps echoing in the room.
They seemed to have walked for a long time without reaching the end. Kasha quietly looked back and found that they didn't seem to have gone very far.
Like Akara's tent, this place is also filled with some space magic.
Under the leadership of Brand, everyone quickly arrived at another room.
The room was brightly lit, and a long table was filled with various fruits.
An old woman with gray hair was standing at the table in a maid uniform, talking softly to herself.
She was about the same age as Akara. When she saw Brand walking in with someone, she immediately stepped aside and bent over deeply.
"Let's sit down and have a meal." Brand suggested. "First fill your stomach, and then you can tell me some interesting stories about the journey. I like to hear about the various experiences of adventurers."
"Where is the Earl?" Chen Hao asked, looking at the empty chief.
"In the past, when other adventurers came to visit, the Earl would personally greet them." Butler Brand explained, "But tonight, the Earl was feeling a little unwell, so he went to bed early. If you want to visit the Earl, I will come to you early tomorrow morning.
I will notify you."
Chen Hao and his group sat in front of the table and watched the servants bring a lot of hot food to the table.
There is a whole roasted chicken stuck on the black fork, large pieces of juicy braised pork, fresh asparagus, steaming potatoes and fragrant toast. Seeing these, no traveler who has been trekking for a long time can hold back his excitement.
saliva.
"Why don't you eat? Or are these things not to your liking?" Butler Brand asked curiously when he saw that none of Chen Hao and others picked up the knives and forks on the table.
At this moment, a scimitar appeared at Brand's neck, and a pair of giant hands held down Brand's shoulders at the same time.
"Lord Chen Hao, what do you mean?"
The sudden appearance of two demons behind him did not surprise Brand. He even looked at Chen Hao immediately.
Chen Hao kept turning the staff with his right hand. After hearing Butler Brand's question, his face suddenly darkened: "Where did you hide Diana?"
"Chen Hao, what are you talking about? Diana is right next to you..."
Before Kasa finished speaking, "Diana" sitting next to Chen Hao suddenly picked up the knife on the table and stabbed it at Chen Hao.
Bang!
Wolfgang's shield appeared beside Chen Hao and blocked the knife.
On the other side, Xiao Hong raised his knife and cut off Butler Brand's head.
Rumbling…
Butler Brand's head rolled to the corner and hit the wall.
"When did you find out?"
The cloak slipped off, revealing a skull-like face.
