After listening to Leo’s suggestion, everyone felt that this was a solution to the problem, so they all agreed with Leo’s suggestion and chose to live in the manor on the hillside.

　　 Leo and Sylvia naturally lived with them. In addition to being convenient, they could also discuss with them about the world.

A group of people came to the manor, because the manor was mainly used for summer vacations, and there were banquets with other nobles, so there were many rooms in the manor, and all the rooms were built around a garden with a spacious lawn, but because For many days, the lawn looked very messy because no one was taking care of it.

Everyone found a suitable room to tidy up, and then Regil and Angran prepared food. Others went hunting around to see if they could hunt any prey, while Leo and Sylvia decided to go to Gello See the situation in the worm's nest they have been to before.

　　 For this reason, Geralt chose to stay and be responsible for being a guide. As for what he really thought, Leo was very clear, but he did not say anything.

The three arrived in the cellar and did not immediately leave for the Bug's Lair. Sylvia asked the two to listen and found a wine barrel that had been sealed for a long time. Pull out the wooden stopper and use the wine to remove There was a glass of wine in the spoon and a sip, his brow furrowed slightly.

　　 "What's wrong?" Leo asked.

　　 "The wine tastes a little...not very good." Sylvia seems to be unsure. After taking a sip, he questioned: "Does the wine of Tausent taste like this?"

　　 Geralt didn't understand why Sylvia was suddenly interested in the wine here, but he took the initiative to help and said, "Let me try it."

　　Sylvia found an empty glass and gave Geralt a spoon. After Geralt drank it, he frowned and said, "This wine has become smelly. It should be caused by no one taking care of it."

"Is that true?" Sylvia put the stopper in the barrel again, turned around and found several other barrels, drank a little bit of wine, and her brows were always wrinkled, obviously with wine Dissatisfied her.

　　 "If you want to drink, I still have a good bottle of wine there." Seeing the look of Sylvia, Geralt said kindly.

　　 "No more! I didn't do it because of alcohol, but because of other things." Sylvia shook her head, and did not continue with common sense. She turned and said: "Go! Let's go to the worm's nest to see."

Hearing Sylvia’s words, Geralt was still puzzled by her behavior, but she didn’t ask any more, and Leo’s face next to Sylvia’s movements revealed something. Thinking look.

　　 Afterwards, the three men held their torches and walked deep into the cellar, found the hidden cave entrance, entered the inside, and walked along some narrow passages for a while, then came to a spacious underground cave.

　　I saw that there were a lot of corpses of insects that hadn't had time to clean up, as well as surrounding insect nests and undamaged eggs, and a pungent smell filled the entire underground space.

　　The location of the pile of human corpses they mentioned was obvious, just beside the female corpse.

Leo stopped Sylvia, and then he took the initiative to check the pile of corpses that were extremely rotten. In fact, he did not leave, but instead scanned twice with the mental net to find some unique ones inside the corpse. Organs to judge the number.

　　 "Four people." Leo quickly reached a conclusion, saying: "From the point of decay of the corpse and the surrounding environment, it should have been dozens of days, and it is estimated that it is the earliest group of missing persons."

　　 "How do you know that there are four people?" Geralt only saw Leo standing next to the bodies and felt a bit surprised.

　　 "An ability, like the wolf badge on your neck and the sight of your eyes." Leo did not explain carefully.

　　 "Can you detect the cause of their death?" Sylvia asked.

　　 Geralt froze for a moment and said, "Do you suspect that they did not die from these Qiqimo?"

　　 "Be careful not to be wrong." Sylvia did not answer directly.

"Two people died of sword wounds," Leo easily found out the details of each wound on the bones of these corpses through the mental network, and through comparison, easily recovered their scar maps, so quickly do The answer came out and said: "After the attack came from itself, the long sword passed through the back, the blade cut the bones of the spine and back, and penetrated the heart of the deceased. Both were killed in one blow, and the people who killed them were visible. He has extremely high swordsmanship and is proficient in the human bone structure. Otherwise, it is impossible to use a long sword to penetrate the back and pierce the heart."

　　After listening, Sylvia asked, "Are there any other clues?"

"It's gone." Leo shook his head and said, "There are no other valuable clues," he said, turning his head to see Sylvia holding his nose and enduring the smell around him, and said: "There are no more valuable clues here, let's go up."

"I'm okay." Sylvia shook her head and said that she could bear it, and then held the torch high, looked around again, and asked, "It's only like the road we came in, but that road again It was blocked, how do these bugs survive?"

　　 "No, there are two roads here." Leo said as he walked to the wall on one side, kicking the worm's nest in front of him, revealing a hole in the back.

　　Sylvia asked doubtfully: "Are these bugs smart enough to know how to hide cave passages?"

　　 "Of course I don't understand, they are similar to beasts." Geralt shook his head, holding a torch, and walked to the front, said: "I'm leading the way, you follow, and see where it leads to."

After finishing speaking, he drilled in. Leo let Sylvia walk in the middle. After a short distance, this passage became a lot more spacious, and the passage gradually sloped upward, it seemed to be upward. Go, for about half an hour, they came to an end.

　　 I saw that this is a natural patio. Once the ground fissure is crossed, it is exposed above the ground. The surrounding walls are a little steep, and it is difficult for normal people to climb up.

　　 "Look!" Geralt stopped and pointed to the thick grass under the patio.

Leo and Sylvia stepped forward and looked at it. I saw a lot of blood in the weeds and some debris. Not only that, but also in the gaps in the grass, many corpses could be seen. there.

　　 Leo quickly gave the number of corpses and said: "Thirteen corpses, plus four inside, there are a total of seventeen corpses."

　　 "Two corpses are still missing." Geralt knew how many people were missing. After hearing the figures reported by Leo, he couldn't help showing a doubtful look and asked, "Are there only 13?"

　　 "Yes, there are only thirteen corpses." Leo's Spirit Net scanned the corpses carefully again, saying, "All the dead are..., not most of them died of fatal injuries to the back."

　　 Leo said, and Shi Zhanling could pick out two corpses with different injuries from those corpses and pull them out.

　　 Geralt only saw Leo just raised his hand and waved. Among the corpses in the grass, two of them seemed to be supported by an invisible big hand, and flew out, and landed on the ground in front of them.

"Are you a warlock?" Geralt asked, looking at Leo in surprise, but he soon felt like he was asking a nonsense, because metal easily interferes with the cast, so there are very few large pieces of metal on the warlock, only some pass through. Specially treated metal ornaments, such as Leo wearing a full body armor, even a strong warlock is difficult to successfully cast.

　　 "No, I'm a wizard." Leo said.

"Sorcerer?" Geralt was stunned, because he listened to the wizard in Leo's mouth as a demon hunter, and with his familiarity with the demon hunter, the other party obviously no longer belongs to any school, and the other party There are no characteristics that demon hunters should have.

"No, you misunderstood!" Leo seemed to know what Geralt thought, and explained: "The wizards and warlocks I mentioned are somewhat similar, but the powers are different, not the demon hunters. However, Ji Wei Ai Er has taught me the magic seal and alchemy of the demon hunter, and it has benefited me a lot. If there is a chance, I hope I can learn more from you.

　　 "Ah? Yes, of course." Geralt nodded.

　　 At this time, Sylvia was already standing next to the two corpses, carefully checking the condition of the corpses.

　　Although the deceased has been dead for many days, the bottom of the patio is extremely cold, which has slowed the decay of the corpse to a certain extent, so the wounds on the corpse can still be seen everywhere.

　　 Judging from the two bodies, they evaded the deadly attack when they encountered the attack. Later, they also experienced some fighting. They had a lot of wounds and were finally pierced into the throat from the front.

　　 "The two of them should be the wandering knights who took this task before." Sylvia quickly judged their identity from the shabby armor on them.

"Like other corpses, their first blow still came from their backs." Geralt also walked over and checked the corpses, saying, "As a wandering knight with rich experience, they are unlikely to be like ordinary people. Anyone who exposes their backs to others, unless they have absolute trust in that person, and even feel that that person is impossible, can’t hurt them.” Having said that, he was silent for a while, and said: “It seems we should want Talk to some people."

　　Leo said in a deep voice: "Let's go up first and see where is above."

　　 "Well! Yeah, I'll go up first, and wait for the rope..." Geralt also agreed to walk down the side wall and untie the rope around his waist.

　　 "Don't be so troublesome." Leo walked over, reached for Geralt's arm, and then stretched his hand towards Sylvia, holding Sylvia's hand.

Afterwards, he directly exerted a psionic impact on his feet. With him as the center, the three immediately rushed out into the air, instantly rushed out of the patio, and flew into the air for more than ten meters. In the air, he spread the psionic wings. The individual glides through the air, and after flying a distance, he landed steadily on the ground.

　　After landing, Geralt stumbled, then looked at Leo with some complaints, and said: "Your Excellency Leo, can you remind me next time?"

"Sorry, I will remind you next time." Leo smiled, then looked around and said, "We don't seem to be at Britta Manor anymore." He said, pointing to Britta Manor in the distance The spire of the small tower was drilled out of the woods and said, "And we are far from the Britta Manor."

"Here is..." Geralt looked around and said, "This is a fissured **** at the foot of the Gaogong Mountain. This kind of ground fissure is everywhere. It is easy to get into the ground fissure when walking here, and it generally falls into it. Basically, unless someone saves it, it is difficult to climb out, so it is not suitable for planting anything, it is a primitive wasteland." As he said, he added: "According to the area of ​​the enclosed area, it should belong to the Earl of Brittany." Part of the plantation."

　　 Leo turned to look at the rift they flew out and asked, "According to the number of corpses, there are still two fewer people. Where do you think these two people will be now?"

　　 "Hidden." Sylvia immediately answered.

"What do you think they found, so they hid in advance?" Geralt seemed to have the same idea, but he was unsure and confirmed to Sylvia~lightnovelpub.net~ No," Sylvia shook Shaking his head, he said: "They must have been attacked, but they were not fatally wounded. After being pushed into the cave, they just fell on the body without much damage. Then they crawled out of the cave, this point I can be sure, because I just put down the wall of the cave with traces of climbing, and it was recently left. So they are still alive, but the murderer thinks they are dead, and this is the rumor that they are dead. "

　　 "Since they are still alive, why don't they..." Geralt asked with a somber face, but stopped after half of the words, and seemed to need no answer.

　　 However, Sylvia still said: "They should be afraid, and they know that even if they stand up to identify the murderer, I am afraid that the murderer will not have any damage, and they are likely to have life worries."

　　 "I started to hate taking this task!" Geralt couldn't help feeling annoyed and said in a deep voice.

　　 "I feel the same way," Sylvia sighed and turned to Leo. "Maybe at the end, we will get nothing, and may offend the big guys here."

"It doesn't matter, if you offend you, you're offended. They really annoy us. They will find that the so-called status is nothing. And things don't necessarily go in the worst direction. We should have other ways." Leo Smiling disapprovingly, he walked towards the manor and said, "Come on, let's go back quickly, otherwise the companions of Lord Geralt will be worried."
