Earl Stear soon determined that the unfortunate maid had indeed died a week ago... After that, the hounds suddenly divided into two groups, fighting each other endlessly.
When Paris went to check, she found that the huge kennel was artificially divided into two parts with wooden boards so that the hounds could not see each other.
The male servants who were responsible for feeding and guarding were beaten dozens of times before they told the truth.
In the past, only Linde in the Ster family would visit these dogs every three days. During this time, everyone was very busy. Linde was also ordered to stay with Janos every day to learn spells, so they checked after
I went through it several times and found that there were no hidden dangers, so I hid the matter.
They thought it was just the newly grown hounds fighting for power with the old dogs... After all, the dog king of the Stehr family was the same age as Linde and had already begun to approach old age.
And the IQ of this kind of hunting dogs has always been high, so it is not surprising that they would suddenly form groups and divide into two groups.
Unless they were worried that Linde would find his companions bitten to death when he came to see them, they would not have cared about the fighting between these hunting dogs.
This is not a pet dog. It has grown up eating raw meat. Although it is not as difficult to tame as a wolf, its wild nature is always there.
Their reasons are far-fetched...Hounds will indeed drive away their aging counterparts, but they will never want to kill them like this.
This can only prove that these new generations have changed their feelings towards humans after eating human flesh... and preventing them from hunting the old dogs of human breeders is equivalent to preventing them from hunting. This is why these dogs are killing each other.
s reason.
Because Linde particularly likes this group of hunting dogs, he has been feeding them since he was a child... Although normally, the young owner will not let the young owners get too close to the hunting dogs. Generally, it is only necessary to let these dogs know the taste of the Ster family's customary spices from an early age.
.
In other words, people with a certain smell on their bodies are from the same camp. If they make a mistake, they will be discovered by these dogs.
The spices of each family are secrets that must not be passed on to others.
And dog owners are indeed in danger, because they need to snatch the bitten intruder from the dog's mouth... They must not let them think that people are food.
But their treatment is also the best among the entire family servants!
Count Ster was extremely angry.
These people didn't dare tell the housekeeper what happened, weren't they just worried that their generous treatment would be revoked?
But... no one even thought to speak out about the generous treatment of their subordinate servants by the Ster family!
What if... Linde came alone to see these aggressive hunting dogs that were around level 5 without knowing it?
Even if the other half of the old dog would protect him, then...damn it!
Count Ster angrily executed these people directly and expelled all the family members related to them from the castle.
As for how those collateral relatives who cried and shouted that they had nothing to do with them treated the relatives of the guy who implicated them in this, no one in the Ster family cared.
Being able to avoid being angry with these people is because they are generous by nature.
The hounds always gnaw clean the bones when eating, so it is impossible to determine when the person pretending to be the deceased came.
Count Steer could only invite the priests and mages of Basia City to come to the castle for a thorough inspection again.
Fortunately, these people couldn't believe that the various defensive measures they carefully arranged had lost their effect at the beginning, so they all came to the castle with good things.
Even the High Priest of Rune came over with a holy prayer that had been baptized in front of the statue of the Lord of Runes, and asked everyone in the castle to answer his questions within one meter of the holy platform where the prayer was located.
However, except for helping the count find a few embezzlers and a few escorts who were in cahoots with the castle maid, it is still unknown how the invaders entered.
Finally, the furious Silver Moon High Priest found gray traces of some extremely small creature crawling on the wheels of a carriage while the sky was filled with moonlight rain.
Fortunately, the High Priest of Runes looked at the livid and angry face of Count Ster, and returned to the temple to pray to his Lord... and finally received the reminder that 'he is no longer there'.
The members of the Ster family breathed a sigh of relief... After sincerely thanking the Lord of the World, they quickly started the second round of reconstruction.
At least this method of invasion proves that their city wall has not failed.
So they changed all their travel tools into metal mixed with moonstone fragments.
Even the horses' shoes were changed.
Then all roads and buildings were coated twice with this metallic liquid.
The entire Steer Castle, seen from the outside, is simply a steel fortress... Under the moonlight, the moonstone will reflect light even if it is broken... It is a pale color with a bit of blue.
Therefore, Stel Castle at night directly turned into a haunted house in the mouth of the undead.
When Hill was watching the scenery on the terrace at night, every time he saw the castle, he had a particularly weird feeling... It was more like a vampire's home than the original vampire castle on Snowfall Island.
It stands to reason that the light of moonstone would not be so...bleak.
However, the Stir family uses the debris left after digging and cutting the moonstone, so... um...
However, this kind of material is said to have brought their family to the brink of bankruptcy, and Ellie is even preparing to hold another large-scale auction at this time.
The Stehr family is ready to sell.
Hill didn't pay much attention to the auction, even though Dieter personally sent the invitation letter to the cliff, and then respectfully asked a certain undead who had a good relationship with him to send it to the castle.
After already knowing enough about the history of alchemy in this world, Hill didn't think there was anything else in Oasis worth his next trip.
Especially when Rose comes.
Of course, Hill was not unprepared for Rose's arrival... Oasis made the request directly to Corellon and informed him of the reason.
As for the Elf God System, nothing can be hidden from the Spider Queen.
The elves and gods actually knew it themselves, and they probably even knew who would inform the former queen in the abyss, but they just didn't want to care.
Although Hill didn't understand their thoughts, he respected them... anyway, it didn't have much influence on him.
As long as Rose still has a shred of sense, she will not kill Hill, who is protected by the World Tree... Of course, it is inevitable to encourage others to take action.
But as long as all the drow elves have not turned into undead and still have to eat, drink and defecate, she will not do such things to offend the World Tree.
I don't think she even offended Toril's natural gods.
Of course, colluding with enemies of the natural gods is another matter.
If you don't take action directly, you won't be considered a real enemy in that world.
But he was still a little surprised that Count Steer would directly invite the undead to be the outer guardians of the auction.
This nobleman with a military background is indeed very good at doing things.
He only applied a few layers of moonlight metal liquid in the auction hall. On other floors, including outside the Hall of Wealth, his family did not have the financial resources... Even if they did, they would not spend their own money for the safety of others.
After all, many of the shops inside have actually been sold to other families in disguise.
However, if something goes wrong during the auction, the Stell family will be embarrassed.
Especially when their family was invaded once by silk spiders, and if it happened again, they would completely lose the trust of the aristocracy... The reason why this auction was held in the name of selling off their property was to prove that their family
It was just a momentary oversight, not complete decadence.
But the undead are different.
First, they can feel the presence of silk spiders.
Secondly, even if there is some chaos caused by the undead failing to complete their mission, their family still has something to say... Who would have thought that the undead are as unreliable as the Moon Clan?
This style of doing things is indeed very aristocratic. You have to think about who to throw the blame to before anything is done.
However, most people will choose to throw this blame to the army.
For example, the defenders of Brassia City... they have the responsibility to protect the safety of the city lord.
Usually when something big happens, and the city lord has a good reason, the army will have to go out to work even if they are reluctant.
But Earl Steer never considered doing this at all. He would often try to avoid causing damage to the army.
Of course, if he didn't use the army, his family would be doomed, so he would still use it.
But before that, he would rather spend money than let these soldiers appear in such a place where they would have to take the blame and risk their lives.
At first, Hill thought it was because he had a bad relationship with that army that he didn't ask the other party to do anything, but later Hill discovered that it was not the case.
The relationship between their family and the military is very good.
Otherwise, when Prince Alexei and the Moon Clan got involved, that army would not have been pretending to be dead.
During that time, the Ster family was obviously withdrawing from the city of Brassia, and they had every chance to come out and seize power.
This world is indeed not an either/or place.
The relationship between them was very confusing.
