Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

While a pleasant dinner was going on in the castle.

Outside the central area, on the street directly opposite the entrance to the area.

A scout wearing a black robe and two short swords on his waist was staring at the castle intently.

It seems to be observing something, and it seems to be waiting for something.

His behavior seemed suspicious, but it was already commonplace for the patrolling guards.

There are many foreigners who come to Bosipan for the first time and they look like they have never seen the market before.

Especially during this time, there are more and more people like this.

Many people are also wandering around with private armed forces ranging from a few to more than a dozen people.

The sheriff in charge of the city's internal security also specifically asked Baron Bezos for instructions.

The order was given to send someone to follow up and investigate secretly.

For these people entering Bangcheng, as long as they do not step into the red line.

Even though it is almost 2 o'clock in the morning, there are still passers-by on the street.

Among them were some drunken drunkards, staggering down the street.

Until the brain can no longer bear the stimulation of alcohol, triggering a vomiting reaction, and collapses on the roadside and vomits.

At this time, a considerate patrol team from the Bangcheng Army will come up and carry the drunkard away.

Bosi Bang is the only state city within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

It is also the real gold selling cave in this area.

Even those bandits and gangsters who want to have fun will eventually have to find a way to sneak into the city.

In the wilderness, the money is just dirt, and only in the city can it be transformed into value.

Therefore, the patrol team of the Bangcheng Army already has a complete set of procedures for how to deal with drunken guests at night.

These drunkards will be taken to a heavily guarded building near the central area.

There are sobering rooms set up inside, and all drunkards will be held in isolation.

Prevent trouble and wait for them to sober up.

On the streets, the areas covered with sour and smelly vomit were cleaned by dedicated personnel five or six minutes after the drunkard was taken away.

When the drunkard sobers up the next morning, a cleaning fee of 50 dinars will be paid.

If you can't afford this fee, you can also choose to work in the farms and orchards under the jurisdiction of Bangcheng for two months.

These are the measures Bosbon takes against those drunkards.

As for situations such as fighting, eating the king's meal, the king's female vote, stealing, and robbing.

There are other ways to deal with it.

Every year, the total amount of various fines collected by the city can reach hundreds of thousands of dinars.

Shortly after the vomit was cleaned up, another group of patrolling Bangcheng troops happened to pass by this street.

All the patrolling soldiers looked ahead meticulously. Only the third-order dragon-born swordsman leading the team glanced at the black-robed scout intentionally.

The black-robed scout also looked at him, raised his eyes slightly, and gave him a hidden look.

The eye contact between the two happened in a split second.

Immediately, the figure of the black-robed scout moved and got into the corner of a nearby residence.

"Pede, take them and continue patrolling."

"I'm going to make it easier."

The third-level dragon-born swordsman stopped.

Pointing to a small corner not far from the roadside, he said to his deputy.

In each patrol team, there is a third-level warrior leading eleven second-level warriors.

His second-in-command is a second-order Avalonian light infantryman.

"Go quickly, Lord Milne, before the inspectors see you."

"You will be fined for convenience."

His deputy nodded and whispered.

The third-level dragon-born swordsman named Milne smiled.

He reached out and touched his deputy's helmeted head.

Then he quickly turned around and ran into the alley.

The black-robed scout was waiting.

"Milne, I've been waiting for you."

"Lord Evans is waiting for me to report the situation to him."

The black-robed scout said softly.

"Those people just found some items that Mr. Bezos left behind when he was young."

"Now I have become a guest of Lord Bezos."

"A dinner party is taking place in the castle."

Milne said in a somewhat urgent tone, and at the same time stretched out his right hand.

After hearing what he said, the black-robed scout took out a small money bag from his arms and gently threw it into Milne's hand.

"I understand, I will report these situations to Lord Evans."

"Return to the team quickly and don't show your weakness."

After the black-robed scout finished speaking, his figure began to fade.

He directly entered the stealth state and quickly escaped along the shadow.

On the same spot, Milne, the third-level dragonborn swordsman, said nothing and just weighed the money bag in his hand.

Then he stuffed it into the gap at the waist of the armor.

He walked out of the alley without changing his expression.

Inside the castle, in the banquet hall on the second floor.

The Immortal Lancers were eating and drinking intently.

Their lords are responsible for chatting and gossiping, and they are responsible for opening their bellies.

Luna and Vereesa only ate very little meat, and they regarded various salads and vegetarian foods as their staple food.

This is because their eating habits are different from those of ordinary humans.

The two of them were eating, putting their heads together and chatting quietly.

The atmosphere of the dinner was not serious, on the contrary, it was relaxed.

Zong Shen, in particular, became the well-deserved protagonist of this dinner.

Both Baron Bezos and Miss Stephen have become his loyal listeners.

After the chat ended, Baron Bezos' favorability increased by 10 points.

In just two or three hours, his favorability towards Zong Shen reached 75 points.

And Miss Stephen's favorability towards Zong Shen also reached 35 points.

Zong Shen's knowledge and talkativeness have completely solidified his character as a young explorer.

The dinner party at this time has also come to an end.

Everyone's stomach is full from food.

Zong Shen casually mentioned that he would go to Evans' manor tomorrow afternoon for an appointment.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Baron Bezos stopped smiling for the first time and frowned slightly.

"Dear brother Zong Shen."

"That guy Evans is not a good guy."

After saying a few words, Bezos paused.

He looked at Vereesa and Luna.

"That guy is extremely horny."

"This is no secret among Bosbon's upper circles."

"He is very passionate about hunting for women."

"He's just an out-and-out slut."

"A savage who only thinks with his lower body."

"And that guy also did a lot of dirty things."

"I have always suspected that the so-called "night devil" in Bangcheng for the past twenty years is also related to him."

"It's a pity that I didn't get direct evidence."

Baron Bezos was extremely disdainful of Evans.

For men, lust is not something to be embarrassed about.

But that guy was different, he was like a boar in heat.

Bosbon and even all the female slave girls in the giant city of Lentax had an affair with him.

In addition to the female branch, those beautiful and good families are also his targets.

However, his place is still the same as Enoki Mushroom, and the battle will end in three minutes at most.

I still have to say that my own is too big to make others endure it.

These things are no secret to Baron Bezos.

He also had little contact with Evans.

Hearing what Baron Bezos said, Zong Shen also turned his head and glanced at Luna and Vereesa.

He naturally understood that Evans was not a good person, but he still shouldered the task of helping Mr. Mars recover the wealth left by his father's generation.

I still have to go to the manor tomorrow at noon.

"Mr. Bezos, I understand."

"But I still have to go there at noon tomorrow."

"By the way, sir, what does Night Demon mean?"

Zong Shen said slowly, and did not elaborate on the reason. Instead, he asked him with some doubts.

Bezos looked at Zong Shen, understood that he seemed to have his own purpose, and nodded.

"I understand, but it's a pity that there is a gap between me and him."

"I can't accompany you to the appointment."

"You can't use strong tactics against him."

"Because the family behind him also has great power."

"Although his ancestors are emerging nobles, they have the same status as hereditary nobles."

"You'd better not bring your two female subordinates with you."

Baron Bezos said earnestly that no one understands better than him how deep the Bospan water is.

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued.

"As for Night Stalker, that's a nickname."

"It's a nightmare that has haunted the girls of Bosbon for twenty years."

"In the past two decades, a total of 176 cases of missing young women have occurred in Bangcheng and nearby villages."

"This is a number that has been recorded by the Bangcheng Public Security Department."

"As for those without records, there should be many more."

"The methods used in these disappearance cases are all the same, which is to forcefully break into the house in the middle of the night and abduct them in the early hours of the morning."

"There were no signs of resistance at the scene, and the other party never caused any loss of life."

"The nature of these cases is different from the robbery of villages."

"At that time, there were clues pointing to Evans, and we also sent people to conduct a comprehensive search of his estate."

"There are even several caravan distribution points he set up in nearby villages."

"Although some suspicious traces were found, no direct evidence was ultimately found."

"In the past few years, it once caused panic among all residents in the city."

"At that time, everyone called the mysterious figure who kidnapped young women the Night Stalker."

Baron Bezos's tone gradually became serious.

Obviously for him, this was an extremely disgusting behavior.

"Is there such a thing?"

After hearing what Bezos said, Zong Shen felt a little incredible.

That guy Evans is not short of money, as he is a descendant of an emerging aristocracy.

He also has his own caravan and industry.

Live in a luxurious manor.

Even the freshest seafood from the East China Sea is available.

Can such a person use such despicable methods?

This is something Zong Shen cannot understand.

But it was absolutely impossible for Baron Bezos to deceive him on such a matter.

That guy might really have some kind of perverted hobby that goes beyond the normal range.

Combined with his own observations and Luna's report, Evans is indeed very likely to be a pervert with a human face and an animal heart.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen told Bezos that Evans needed a large amount of Requiem Grass.

According to the previous guide tips, Evans has extremely stubborn insomnia symptoms.

These requiem herbs are all used to make sleeping potion soup.

But there are still many doubts.

After Zong Shen finished speaking, Baron Bezos was not in a hurry to answer.

He seemed to have made a decision that he had something very important to tell Zong Shen.

"Papa pa pa"

Baron Bezos stretched out his hand, patted it, and said to the butler and maids waiting on the side.

"Everyone get out."

When the maids and butlers heard this, they immediately put down the wine bottles and tableware in their hands.

They all left the banquet hall within half a minute.

And closed the heavy wooden sliding door of the banquet hall.

After the venue was cleared, Zong Shen and his soldiers were the only ones left in the banquet hall.

and Bezos’ daughter Steven.

Baron Bezos picked up a clean napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Brother Zong Shen, I will tell you something next."

"Evans' full name is Evans Heywood, and he relies on the emerging aristocratic Heywood family."

"His ancestors achieved outstanding military exploits in the kingdom's wars and were granted the title of Marquis."

“And so the Haywood family was founded.”

“Their family is not only active under the jurisdiction of the great city of Lentax, but also in the great city of The Hague in the east.”

"Back then, Evans's fathers came to Bosbon and quickly established a foothold in the city by taking advantage of their family's strength."

“They are adept at exploiting loopholes in the Kingdom’s laws.”

"The entire Haywood family are a bunch of absolute borers."

He paused for a moment and took a few deep breaths.

The continuous and fast-paced talking made his breathing quicken.

Zong Shen listened carefully from the side.

Baron Bezos soon calmed down his breathing and continued.

"As for the Requiem Grass, I don't know the hidden meaning."

"One thing that can be confirmed is that he began to have symptoms of insomnia about twenty years ago."

"He called in many doctors at that time."

"Including some witch doctors and holy light priests who are proficient in nature."

"I tried many methods but failed to cure him."

"In the end, I found that only the sleeping potion soup made from requiem grass could make him fall asleep."

"So he spent a lot of money to build two professional drying furnaces in his manor."

"An apothecary and apothecary's apprentice were also hired from the great city of Lentax to serve exclusively for him."

After listening to what Baron Bezos said, based on Zong Shen's experience as an old man, we can basically conclude that there is a big problem with Evans.

He's not sure yet whether Requiem Grass is related.

This time, he combined the known information and began to ask questions to the strategy module again.

The strategy module also has its own limitations. For example, in the case of this kind of proactive question, it will only give limited answers based on the situation known to Zong Shen.

Otherwise, before the battle of Odo Village, Zong Shen would be able to gain insight into those situations in advance.

But even so, the strategy tips are still very helpful to Zong Shen.

As long as he strings together the additional information, he will be able to grasp the truth.

"For Evans, apart from being a sleeping pill, does Requiem have any other uses?"

"Is the Night Stalker that Bezos mentioned just now related to him?"

He boiled most of the requiem grass into sleeping potion soup, and a small part of the requiem grass was made into requiem powder. He was indeed a so-called night demon, which was also the reason for his insomnia. Guy is similar to you, but not as lucky as you

Zong Shen was thoughtful after reading the strategy tips.

According to the tips, it has been confirmed that Evans is the notorious "Night Stalker".

The only thing he couldn't understand was the last sentence.

"This guy is similar to you, but not as lucky as you."

Zong Shen thought about this sentence, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.

He admitted that he was an old pervert.

But he swore on his own seven-inch scale that he definitely didn’t have any obscene and obscene habits!

"What do you mean? Why do you say he is the same as me?"

"Are you saying that I am an Enoki mushroom?"

Zong Shen couldn't help but ask in his heart.

If the strategy module had an entity, Zong Shen would have wanted to fight it directly.

Well, the similarity is that you both got Demon's Souls

The golden prompt subtitles appeared again, and Zong Shen seemed to see the helplessness of the strategy module.

"Devil's Soul?"

"Night Stalker"

"I seem to understand something."

Zong Shen looked at the table blankly, minding his own business.

After connecting the clues of Requiem Grass, Lust, Night Demon and Manor.

He understood everything instantly.

By chance, he actually bumped into a big asshole.

Seeing Zong Shen lowering his head and thinking, Baron Bezos did not disturb him.

He waited until Zong Shen came to his senses before he spoke again.

"Brother Zong Shen, if you insist on going to the appointment."

"Then I have something to ask you."

Baron Bezos said, and a task prompt appeared in front of Zong Shen.

Good guy, can this be a mission?

Baron Bezos Chebman, I would like to send you a mission invitation.

accept

reject

This kind of mission, which has prompts from the lord system, is very safe and reliable.

At least this is what Zong Shen has encountered so far.

He was already a veteran and decisively chose to accept it.

"Sir, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

"I guess you want me to investigate some clues about the Night Stalker in Evans' manor."

Zong Shen took the initiative and guided Bezos to get to the point as quickly as possible.

Baron Bezos nodded when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Because he found that Zong Shen could guess his thoughts.

What a smart and witty young man.

"Yes, I want you to take advantage of the opportunity to attend the banquet."

"Do a good investigation inside his manor."

"The Night Demon has restrained himself in the past two years."

"And that guy Evans has become more reclusive."

"I've noticed that he hasn't been there for a day or two."

"That guy bribed some middle- and low-level officers in the Bangcheng Army."

"He thought I didn't know, but actually I'm just not as calculating as ordinary nobles.

"But I'm not stupid, otherwise Bosbon wouldn't be prosperous and stable."

As Baron Bezos spoke, a faint sneer appeared on his face.

"Because of the expedition that year, too many soldiers of the state were lost."

"This is my stain and the fundamental reason why I cannot be promoted to Viscount."

"Bosi State was not the most prosperous city that the family had ever controlled."

“When I took over, Bosbon was completely different from what it is now.”

"Judging from the standards of the time, Bosbon could only be regarded as the last rank in the country."

"But in less than thirty years, the city limits of Beausebon have expanded by a third."

"The permanent population has doubled, and the city's fiscal revenue and material reserves have increased several times."

"Even the size of the state's city army and city defense have tripled!"

Baron Bezos said with some pride.

In these long years of nearly thirty years, he did not explore again.

All the efforts were spent on the construction of the city.

He is using practical actions to prove that he is not just a silly person who only knows adventure.

Unfortunately, this is of no use.

Although under the protection of his family, he can fully display his talents.

Safely guarding his foundation in Bosbon.

But just like it is difficult for commoners to cross class and become aristocrats.

Bezos’s desire for promotion is also a luxury.

It can be said that Bezos devoted the rest of his life to Bosbon.

Zong Shen remained silent, just listening quietly.

He had to wait for Baron Bezos to take the initiative to talk about the details of the mission.

to get relevant task information.

From Zong Shen's personal perspective, he likes to get along with people like Bezos.

Not only because of his generosity, the most important thing is that Baron Bezos has really upright views.

"These little gestures are innocuous."

"He couldn't get to the heart of Bosbon."

"After my observation, his travel pattern is basically in line with the appearance pattern of night demons."

"He usually stayed at his estate during these two years."

"I haven't been out for a long time."

"So there must be secrets in the manor where he lives every day!"

"I hope you can use this opportunity to find his flaws!"

"It would be best to obtain some key evidence, such as finding the girls who were captured by the Night Demon."

Baron Bezos said solemnly.

A relevant task prompt finally appeared in front of Zong Shen.

Mission: Investigate Evans

Requirement: Enter Evans' manor to find key evidence that proves Evans is the Night Stalker.

Reward: Baron Bezos's favorability degree is 25, fourth-level city lord's mansion upgrade certificate 1, wealth in the manor 1

Go ahead with confidence and you will get professional guidance

Seeing the last reminder note, Zong Shen had an idea.

"Don't worry, Mr. Bezos, I will definitely find a way to find evidence."

Zong Shen patted his chest and directly took over this task.

Baron Bezos nodded happily. In his eyes, Zong Shen was a young and promising explorer.

And he has ideals and ambitions, and wants to establish his own territory.

Baron Bezos stood up on his own initiative and looked at Zong Shen with approval.

"Brother Zong Shen, I believe you!"

"The legend of the Night Devil has spread throughout every village under the jurisdiction of Bangcheng."

"If you can really catch Evans by the fox's tail."

"Bring those countless girls' nightmares to justice."

"Then you are Bosbon's hero!"

"I think there will be many young people willing to join your colony."

Zong Shen nodded, but he was not as excited as Bezos.

When something is presented in a way that can accomplish the task.

This will allow Zong Shen to look at this matter from a more rational perspective.

Seeing Zong Shen's silence, Baron Bezos thought he was worried about his personal safety.

He sat back on his seat and reached out to pat Zong Shen on the back.

"Brother Zong Shen, to ensure your safety."

"Tomorrow I will deploy a squadron of state soldiers and a squadron of Avalon light riders."

"I'll have them on standby in the streets nearby on a patrol basis."

"There are no hard indicators on this matter. It doesn't matter if no evidence is found."

"It's important to keep yourself safe."

Baron Bezos said comfortingly.

Zong Shen raised his head and grinned, his smile full of confidence.

"I understand, sir."

"I will protect myself."

"Hey, sir, just wait for my good news."

After listening to Zong Shen's words, Baron Bezos shuddered inexplicably.

"Okay, everyone is almost done eating."

"Then let's all go to bed early tonight."

"There are ample guest rooms on the fourth floor, with separate washrooms and toilets."

"If you need to wash up, you can ask the butler."

Baron Bezos had said almost everything he needed to say, and everyone had finished eating and drinking.

Then he stood up and announced that the dinner was over.

Zong Shen shook hands with Bezos and then with Stephen, expressing his gratitude again.

Soon the maids and butlers entered the banquet hall one after another.

The housekeepers led the way, leading Zong Shen and the others upstairs.

The maids were collecting the leftovers in the banquet hall.

Even though it was 2 o'clock in the morning, these young maids still didn't complain at all.

Both Bezos and Stephen stopped on the third floor, where their bedrooms were.

After Zong Shen and the soldiers said good night to Baron Bezos and Miss Stephen, they continued to walk to the upper floor under the leadership of the housekeeper.

At the same time, in Evans' manor.

It's in the living room on the first floor of the manor.

Evans, shirtless, leaned back on a cushioned chair.

Behind him were two young girls who looked no more than 18 years old, wearing sexy tube tops on their upper bodies.

Wearing a black skirt on her lower body, her white thighs are clearly visible.

She was gently squeezing his shoulders from left to right.

There was no smile on the faces of these two girls, only endless numbness.

Their massage techniques are extremely familiar, and every bit of force is just right.

Obviously this is not the first time I have given Evans a massage.

On the table nearby, there is a bowl of light green soup.

Wisps of heat are coming out.

This bowl of soup is the sleeping potion that Evans needs to drink every night.

At this time, Evans closed his eyes tightly and looked calm, as if he was asleep.

At this moment, the butler named Isido gently opened the door and walked in.

His steps were like a ghost, light and swift.

He stepped on the carpet without making any sound.

The housekeeper came to Evans' side, leaned close to his ear, and spoke softly.

"Sir, the scout has returned."

"Do you want the scouts to come in and report to you face to face?"

He asked for instructions carefully, and after speaking, he stood up straight and stood aside, waiting for his instructions.

"Snapped!"

Evans suddenly snapped his fingers.

The two girls who were massaging behind him stopped immediately.

Slowly took a few steps back.

On the chair, Evans's eyes suddenly opened!

These are a pair of terrifying eyes, which have long been out of the scope of human beings.

His eyes were blood red, without pupils or focus.

It is pure crimson, and everything reflected in these pupils is also red.

"Let him in."

"The soul is restless again.

"My blood is boiling again."

"twenty years"

"It's been twenty years, and now even the effects of the sleeping potion soup are waning."

Evans said weakly, with no expression on his face.

Compared with before, he seemed to be a different person now.

The housekeeper Isidor looked at Evans' current state and bowed with a worried expression.

"You need to vent."

"I'll go get the scout right away."

He bowed and retreated, walking out of the house.

After a while, a black-robed scout came in.

The black-robed scout lowered his head the whole time, not daring to look directly at Evans' face.

"Sir, this is what happened."

He told him what he saw along the way and what the dragon-born swordsman told him.

Evans was told everything truthfully.

"You did a good job, get out."

"I will reward you."

Evans waved his hand dejectedly.

His current situation is very strange.

Upon hearing this, the black-robed scout bowed as if he had been granted amnesty.

He hurriedly left the house.

"Mysterious force"

"Those illegal armed forces"

"And that guy Bezos."

Evans muttered.

His eyes suddenly glowed red.

He stood up suddenly and let out several huge roars.

"vent!"

"I want to vent!"

"You damn human being!"

The distorted and violent voice was completely different from Evans' usual voice.

After roaring, the red light in Evans' eyes subsided again.

He made fists with both hands and hit his head hard.

"Damn it!"

"You damn night demon!"

"One day I will throw you into the holy pool!"

"Let you turn to ashes!"

Evans cursed in his own voice.

Then his eyes burst into red light again.

"Idiot, you will be finished if I die!"

"You waste! Waste!"

The violent voice appeared again, and the two voices were constantly fighting for control of the body.

And kept cursing each other.

The butler Isidor on the side seemed to be used to this scene.

This personality or soul switch gradually became confusing.

Evans' whole body was twitching, and his expression was constantly distorted and changing.

Even the limbs are constantly twisting.

After finally calming down, he was still panting with red eyes.

This series of changes leads to more than just stubborn insomnia.

There is also madness and monsters.

I saw the butler Isido walking to Evans' side with ease.

He reached out and picked up the bowl of light green sleeping decoction.

Put it to your mouth and blow on it gently.

Then he put the soup bowl to Evans' lips.

The other hand held the back of his head and fed a little sleeping potion into his mouth.

It took several minutes before he swallowed the bowl of soup.

Because of Evans's twisting, he spat out less than half the bowl of soup on the ground.

After drinking the sleeping potion, Evans' condition finally improved.

At least his expression and body were back to what they were before.

"Isidor, that guy has another attack."

"I have to go vent."

"I hope the hateful Bezos will not delay our guests from coming to their appointments."

"Send someone to keep an eye on the castle."

"I want to know everything they're doing."

"A woman from the Elf tribe is not to be missed."

He said weakly, the red in his eyes gradually fading.

Butler Isido nodded.

"I understand, sir."

"I'll arrange everything tonight."

"You two, come over and clean up the ground."

Isidor waved to the two girls.

The latter quickly came to the place where the medicinal soup was spilled.

Because there was no cloth, they could only kneel on the ground, bend over and lick the sleeping potion soup.

Seeing this scene, Evans had a sick smile on his face.

He slowly stood up and walked to the stairs in the middle of the room with Isido's support.

There seemed to be only one stairway going up.

Next to it is a plain wall.

I saw the butler Isido take out a clear crystal from his pocket.

Holding it in the palm of your hand, you chant softly.

If Zong Shen were here at this time, he would be able to sense the magic fluctuations emanating from Isido's body.

This guy actually has magical talent.

And it is an extremely rare space magic talent!

As space magic is input into the crystal, a complex spell model is also taking shape.

After chanting for more than ten seconds, a space door began to appear on the wall next to the stairs.

The entire space door is not too big, emitting a light blue wave of light, and can only accommodate one person to enter.

After Evans saw the space door, he broke away from Isido's hand supporting him.

Staggering into the space door, the entire space door shook like water waves.

Evans' figure disappeared, and the space door also disappeared immediately.

On the ground, the butler Isido took out the pocket watch from the gentleman's pocket with an expressionless face, glanced at the pocket watch, silently remembered the current time, and turned around to leave.

Behind the space door is an independent folding space.

This space is folded in the manor by the space magic array.

A space magician needs to use that magic token to open it.

This folding space is not small, half the size of the Evans Manor.

A luxurious house was also built inside.

Some flowers, trees, and small animals such as cats and dogs were also transplanted.

In the four directions of the space, several large-scale magic energy luminous devices were placed for lighting.

As soon as Evans entered the space, he walked towards the mansion.

The door was not locked.

He opened the door with a gentle pull.

Walking into the mansion, you will see a luxurious and spacious hall.

There is also a staircase leading to the second floor.

In this hall alone, there are more than twenty women sitting.

The women range in age.

They range from eighteen or nineteen to thirty or forty years old.

They had no clothes and everyone was naked.

There are more or less scars on the body, and even shocking disabilities.

There was a woman whose half had disappeared, leaving only the flat chest left after the wounds had healed.

Another woman had all the toes on her feet turned over artificially.

It was broken abruptly, and it stayed in this shape until the bones healed.

There was also a woman whose mouth was torn open to her cheek.

There are many more situations like this.

It can be seen from their facial features that they were once beautiful women.

When these women saw Evans come in.

Some of the faces had expressions of horror, while others had expressions of numbness.

Evans ignored their expressions and said nothing.

Scan them as if you were picking prey.

These are his trophies.

No.

To be precise, these are the trophies of the Night Demon.

He glanced around and found no suitable target.

So he walked up the stairs to the second floor.

There are some targets out there that haven’t been ravaged much yet.

Five or six minutes after he went upstairs.

Heart-rending screams came from the second floor.

All the women were huddled in the corner, their heads buried in their knees.

This folded space is their prison, their nightmare!

In the castle, under the leadership of the butler, everyone was arranged into a large and spacious room.

Vereesa and Luna were deliberately placed next to him.

The room is large, with a soft and luxurious solid wood bed.

There are also dressing tables, wardrobes, desks, and washrooms.

Exquisite crystal chandeliers cast a warm glow.

There is also a magic bell on the bedside table that can call the servants.

Just shake the bell gently and the servant from outside will come in.

Zong Shen asked the servants to prepare some hot water for him.

He wanted to take a good bath.

When he passed through the desert area before, he ate a lot of dirt.

Buckets of hot water were brought in by the maid and poured into the bathtub.

Also brought are fragrance, flower petals, and bath towels.

Just when Zong Shen was sitting at the desk, waiting to take a bath.

Luna walked in from the side room.

As the former Huntress of the Night, she can approach any ordinary person quietly.

But the moment she stepped into the room, Zong Shen noticed her.

"Luna, you're here."

"Let's just take a bath together."

Zong Shen said with a smile.

Luna rolled her eyes and walked directly behind Zong Shen.

She put her arms around his shoulders and leaned against his back.

"My lord, I will tell you what the sentinel owl saw tonight."

Luna said softly.

Zong Shen nodded and listened patiently to her story.

So Luna recounted everything Evans said after they left.

By the time she finished speaking, the bath water was ready.

Zong Shen waved the maid to leave the room.

Holding Luna's little hand, she walked into the bathroom.

"I already know."

"Let's not talk about that now."

"A night in the castle starts with taking a bath!"

Zong Shen quickly took off his armor, and then helped Luna take off her armor.

The two of them hugged each other gently and slowly stepped into the bathtub.
