"What kind of trap is it?" Werther asked cautiously.
"Look, there is a trap under your feet. My eyes can easily see everything in this house, including the traps dug on the ground." The man said with a smile, "If you two had taken one step forward just now,
, it will fall."
After hearing this, Werther unconsciously took a half step back, and Wile also stepped back, holding Werther's arm tightly.
After Werther's eyes adapted to the extremely dark light here, he noticed that they were stepping on hay. From the gaps in the hay, you could see that there was soil below, and beyond that there was a deep pit. If you fell,
, you may fall to death.
Perhaps the reason for digging a deep pit like this is to allow people who sneak in to fall down without being able to see clearly. How insidious! Werther thought to himself.
The man is standing on the opposite side, close to the wall. Only by crossing this deep pit can we reach the man's location.
Werther looked at the opposite side carefully again, and found that besides a low cabinet that could store the dagger, there was only a chair that could half-recline beside the man. He was squeezed into this small space, looking at Werther with embarrassed eyes, as if he was trapped.
On the tree trunk surrounded by tigers and wolves, I dare not move around easily.
Wile also gradually saw the scene in front of him clearly. He was so frightened that he grabbed Werther's clothes and said to the man: "Hey, since you know that this place is so dangerous, why did you let us come to rescue you? There is a window next to you, too.
Why don’t you get out from there?”
"Look, the hole in the wall is too small for normal people to get out, and there are no tools to cut through the wall." The man pointed at the wall, looking very pitiful, "It's too uncomfortable to be trapped here, hurry up and get rid of it."
Let me rescue him, I don't want to stay here any longer."
"I will find a way to save you now."
Werther looked at the deep pit again. It might be impossible for others to cross, but it was very easy for him. He jumped to the side of the man with a forceful jump.
"Wow! You are so awesome!" He looked at Werther, the smile on his face widened, and his strange expression was filled with wonder.
"This is nothing to me." Werther smiled, "But what I'm curious about is, how did they trap you here yesterday? Is it the same as I just did?"
"I remember feeling like I was being pulled by something, and I heard the sound of wings, as if something was holding me in its mouth and flying here briefly. After I took off the cloth covering my eyes, I found that I had arrived next to the hole.
Trapped here."
After listening to what he said, Werther understood that the one who took him flying was the flying elf, which meant that this matter might really have something to do with Duke Dark and Earl Marton.
"Since you are so powerful, please take me there quickly." The man looked at Werther with a smile, "But are you sure you can jump over there with me?"
Vittor nodded and put one of the man's arms on his shoulders. The man leaned weakly on him and jumped to the door with another hard jump.
He leaned his body forward to ensure that the two of them would not fall into the pit from behind.
Wile was relieved when he saw them standing in front of him: "That's great, Your Highness, you are really awesome."
Werther let go of the man's arm and said with a relaxed smile: "It's okay now."
"Thank you so much. I really didn't know you were so powerful. I didn't know your name was
What's the name?"
"My name is Witte, I am the lord of Dawn Town, and now I am also the lord of Night Town."
"Oh, Witte, you are the eldest prince!" The man's eyes were full of admiration, "I have long heard of your excellence, so now Night Town is also your territory?"
"Yes, it just happened yesterday."
"You are much better than Count Madoner."
Witte suddenly thought that maybe when Earl McDonough led people to buy this house yesterday, he didn't know that Nightfall Town was about to be Witte's fiefdom. He still thought it was his own territory, otherwise he would not have chosen to hide the secret in this small town.
town.
It is precisely because Night Town has now become Werther's territory that Werther came to this town, noticed the anomalies in this house and Khalil, and then walked inside the house to find the secrets hidden inside. I'm afraid Duke Dark is not
Knowing that Earl Macdonal hid the secret in Nightfall Town, he gave Nightfall Town to me.
"Sir, I don't know your name yet." Werther asked the man.
"My name is Khalil, your highness the lord."
"After I rescue you, your situation will be very dangerous, and I have many things to ask you. Why don't you follow me to my castle and stay in the castle temporarily."
Werther felt that Khalil might know something and could help him at a critical moment.
There was excitement in Khalil's eyes: "Of course I am willing, Your Highness, if you have any questions, just ask me and I will do my best to help you."
Vittor nodded: "You two wait for me here first, I want to see what secrets are hidden in this house."
He looked carefully at other places in the house and found that there were deep pits everywhere, and only two places were as high as the ground. One was next to the hole in the wall, and the other was in the corner in front of the house.
There is a table in the corner that looks brand new and beautiful, but it is covered with vine-like plants. There seems to be something buried under these plants.
When he was outside the house just now, he saw golden light from the outside angle, but from the current angle, he saw blue light.
"What a familiar light." Werther said to himself.
"Your Highness, why didn't I see the light?" Wile stood at the door, his body swaying constantly.
"Speaking of light, I seem to have vaguely seen it, but I don't know what it is." Khalil said.
Werther jumped again and jumped to the table in the corner. He stood firm on the wall, then stretched out his hand, intending to remove the vines on it.
Khalil immediately shouted: "Don't touch it, Your Highness, that is also a trap. I didn't have time to tell you just now."
Werther quickly retracted his hand, looked back at him, and asked, "What's going on?"
"This morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the hole on the table. I saw clearly that those seemed to be thorns, and they would prick my hands if I wasn't careful."
"Brambles? But the colors don't look alike." Werther said doubtfully. At the same time, he lowered his head and observed carefully in the extremely dark light. Sure enough, he saw tiny thorns. At this time, he suddenly realized something, "Wait a minute.
I understand, they must have painted something on the thorns, could it be poison?"
"Yes, it might be poison!" Wile shouted at the door, "If your hand is stabbed, the poison will enter the body along the blood, and you may die.
Here it is!”
"Then I can't touch these thorns with my hands now. Fortunately, Khalil told me."
Werther thought to himself, how to remove these thorns that may be stained with poison. Now that Khalil is beside me, I can't use magic, because even if the light is dark here, it will be easy to see if I use magic.
Just when he was in trouble, Wile suddenly remembered something and pointed his finger upward: "Ah, Your Highness, I remembered it, and I brought this!"
He immediately took out two gloves from his pocket, crumpled them into a ball and threw them into Werther's arms.
Witte's eyes lit up and he immediately put on his gloves: "Wile, luckily you brought your gloves today. They really helped me a lot."
With the gloves, he would not be too worried about these potentially poisonous thorns. He carefully removed the thorns and took a breath when he saw two things hidden on the table.
A hairpin made of gold and sapphire. The gold part is engraved with the shape of a dragon, and the gem is a dragon pattern. There is also a hairpin with a few words written on it, traces of the dragon clan.
Witte's eyes widened in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face. It seemed that the person who built this house wanted to find the Dragon Clan! And this hairpin could be Charlie's family heirloom!
But why are they obsessed with finding the Dragon Clan? How did they find this hairpin? Also, since they specially built such a house and hid the diary and tokens, it means that they are extremely afraid of being discovered by others.
, further proving that they have an ulterior secret.
It is most likely that Earl Macdonald helped Duke Dark do these things.
Because his father would occasionally visit Nightstone Town, he would always stay at Earl McDonough's castle. Earl McDonough was worried that his hairpin and diary would be discovered, so he specially built a temporary castle like this in Nightstone Town.
He hid these two things in an inconspicuous house, set up many traps, and captured Khalil and asked him to guard him.
At this time, Werther was nervous and excited. He felt as if he had grasped the handle of Duke Dark. He took off his gloves and put them away. With these two things, he jumped to the door with another force.
He almost lost his footing, but after being helped to stand still by Wile and Khalil, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the secret in this room was found, the only question was what to do next.
He used the light at the top of the stairs to open the diary and found that it recorded the experience of Duke Dark's men searching for dragons all over Notland, but no one found anything related to dragons.
Turning to the last diary entry, Werther knew why this hairpin appeared here. It turned out that the day before yesterday, a man took this hairpin to the street to sell it. It happened that it was seen by the servant of Earl Macdonald, so he took advantage of the man's carelessness to sell it.
The hairpin was brought to the castle in Nightstone. Earl Martonle thought it was related to the dragon clan, so he kept it.
Since the time is correct, it means that this hairpin is probably an heirloom of the Chalek family. Who took the hairpin to the street to sell it? Could it be that a servant of his family found it and stole it?
In any case, the dragons know magic. Once the king knows about their search for the dragons without telling the king, they will definitely be punished. Witte plans to take these two things back first, and then think of ways to deal with Duke Dark and the others.
"Let's go back quickly. We must leave before they come here again. It would be bad if they find out," Witte said.
