Several maids summoned by the housekeeper are sweeping the basement. They appear here at this time. They are all trustworthy and courageous servants.
"Lunch is fried steak and mashed potatoes. What do you want for a drink?"
"Milk or juice."
The head maid who was squatting next to Lu Li got the answer and asked Petra again: "Wine, bring me another bottle of rum."
The head maid left the basement, and Lu Li looked at Petra.
"It's for Vincent. He loves this wine very much." Petra pointed with her palmless arm toward the long black table.
Sara has not returned to the basement for the time being. As expected, she will not appear here until night.
Rare time to rest and think, a relatively clean and hygienic environment, and plenty of food - these don't seem too bad.
If you don't count the three people who were handcuffed to the wall, lost both legs, suffered severe blood loss and suffered abdominal injuries.
"Will someone come to save us?" The baron stared blankly at her missing calves. The slender legs she was originally proud of are now ridiculously short.
Petra sighed: "We are not the protagonists, so we won't."
And they can't save themselves.
…
["Have you heard... Laura is back, biting people like crazy as if there was no pain, a group of guards in armor couldn't stop him, and finally he had to cut off his head to die completely..." "Uh...
Who is Laura?" "A servant who serves the eldest lady Sarah." "The eldest lady's servant? Oh my god...is the eldest lady okay?" "A servant was attacked by Laura and was seriously injured and ran back to report the news.
The eldest lady is fine."]
[In the bright garden, Sarah is sitting on a bench. Not far away, two maids gather together and whisper. Sarah listens quietly, and the impetuousness in her heart emerges like a tide. 】
[Sara just came back from the dungeon where Laura's body was stored. She used Laura as her servant as an excuse to successfully see Laura's body - with hideous wounds, no blood, and lifeless blue skin. The captain of the guard was puzzling, and he was once a member of the Kingdom.
As a soldier who has been on the battlefield, he has seen countless corpses, and this corpse has obviously been dead for a long time.]
[Why is it like this... What is the problem? Sarah is very sure that she has completely memorized the materials recorded in the Book of Death and followed the instructions. But she only allowed the dead body to move, not to resurrect.
, and there is no most important soul.】
[The sound of discussion between two maids not far away was heard again]
["It's really scary... Didn't the master of the family go?" "The Viscount's younger brother is back. They are in the study and haven't paid attention to this matter yet."]
【Uncle Andrew?】
[Sarah thought of Uncle Andrew who brought the "Book of the Dead". He might know what's going on! 】
[Lifting up her skirt, Sara trotted towards the mansion. The two maids who were attracted by the noise looked at her in surprise. Sara didn’t pay attention to their gazes and ran up the steps. The etiquette teacher came towards her, and she stood up and waited for Sara.
La salutes him politely as usual - but Sara just ignores him.】
["Uncle Andrew!" Sarah pushed open the door of the Viscount's study and shouted breathlessly. "Sara, didn't the etiquette teacher teach you to knock before coming in?" The Viscount frowned with impatience and said: "You
He actually showed up like this, get back here——"]
["Okay, she's here to see me." Andrew appeased the Viscount's anger, and smiled meaningfully at Sarah: "Can Sarah and I talk alone?"]
["This is my manor, and Sarah is my daughter." Facing his biological brother, the Viscount still said in a majestic low voice. 】
["I am also a member of the family, Sarah is my niece." Andrew said looking at his brother.]
["...Don't take too long, I have other things to do with Sara." After a moment of silence, the Viscount nodded and looked away from Sara]
[Click - the door closed, and the Viscount left the study. Andrew looked at Sarah, and his words seemed to indicate something: "I haven't seen you for several days. My niece, you have changed a lot."]
[Sarah didn’t care what Andrew discovered. She took a step forward and asked urgently: "Why is it useless! There is something wrong with the resurrection ritual of the Book of Death!"]
["Is there a problem?" Andrew tilted his head. Under Sarah's gaze, he walked to the balcony and stretched out his arms. As if inspired by some kind of inspiration, a beautiful butterfly landed on his fingertips. Andrew smiled gently.
, but his fingertips clenched tightly, and the butterfly, which had no time to leave, flapped its wings in vain a few times, and its beauty withered.】
[Next, Sarah saw Andrew wiping off the pollen on his fingertips, taking out the familiar materials from the small bag in his arms, arranging them, and reciting a spell silently. The surrounding light distorted for an instant, then returned to its original state. The butterflies on Andrew's palms
Wake up again.]
[The tattered butterfly, which maintained the moment of death, flapped its incomplete wings and flew into the distance.]
["What's the problem?" Andrew, whose smile never faded, looked back at her.]
[Sarah has seen Andrew’s smile many times, but for some reason, she suddenly felt that the smile made her very uncomfortable. There seemed to be countless chaotic, crazy, cold and other emotions hidden in the smile. 】
["It can't resurrect Adam." Sarah said. "You were the one who attacked the servant randomly a few hours ago, right?" Andrew asked suddenly. 】
["Yes." After a moment of pause, Sara admitted what she had done. 】
[Andrew asked Sarah for the "Book of the Dead", and Sarah took it with her. Andrew took the ancient book, turned to the last page, and pointed to a sentence in it to Sarah: Never use human corpses for experiments
."Because this Book of the Death cannot resurrect people." Andrew said.]
[Sarah looked at the markings on that line of fingers in disbelief. She had read the "Book of the Dead" more than a dozen times, but she had never found this text...]
["But you clearly told me..."]
["You have violated the rules, and I will take back the Book of Death. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." Now Andrew's smile seemed to be sarcastic again, and he continued: "I heard that you are getting married in a few days? I will come to attend then.
of."】
[Andrew turned around and wanted to walk out of the study, but Sarah blocked him and begged him: "Uncle Andrew, can you help me? I just want to resurrect Adam..."]
[Andrew smiled and said: "No one can resurrect the dead, and I can't, you---"
[The words stopped suddenly, and his throat made a hissing sound like air leakage.]
[Sara's dagger plunged completely into Andrew's throat.]
[Without pulling out the dagger, Sara grabbed the handkerchief with her other hand and tightly covered Andrew's throat to prevent blood from falling on the blanket. With cold eyes, she pushed Andrew to the guardrail, and then pushed hard——]
[The bloody dagger is pulled out, and Andrew climbs down the guardrail.]
