Warhammer Seal

Chapter 178 Lurkers

Wende regretted it a little at this time, he should have left Eschen City with the lamb earlier.

Looking out of the window now, heavy snow is falling all over the sky, completely blocking the way out of the city.

And the snow has no intention of stopping at all, it is estimated that Wende and Ruixi will be trapped here for the next week.

It's a pity that this is not a vacation. The chaotic rift has been open for so long, and some weak demons may have come out.

Unlike Nurgle and Khorne, Slaanesh's demons are highly skilled at hiding their appearance and spreading the greatest corruption among the population.

By the time outsiders or ordinary witch hunters discover signs of corruption, it will be too late.

"The time is one week. Our first step is to find that Mr. Foss, and then ask him if he knows about the chaotic rift under his castle."

Wende looked out the window, regretting that he didn't bring the best winter clothing when he left Dunkenhof Castle. Such terrible snow made people spend two hours outdoors in the end.

And the forces in Eschen City are more complicated than I imagined.

First of all, is that Ms. Vezela a vampire? How many vampires are there in the city? What is their purpose?
Secondly, some of the nobles here must know about the devil. There are four nobles in total. Who can be trusted and who can't?

Then, the demons of Slaanesh must have infiltrated the city, how many demons are there, and what are their plans?
There are a total of five forces in this city, vampires, demons, nobles, civilians, Wende and Ruixi, and the time is only one week.

So breaking into the door this time directly shocked Mr. Foss, who was still warming up and drinking by the fire.

A sack was placed directly on his head, and after being punched in the chest, he completely lost the ability to resist.

He could only feel that someone had brought him out of the castle, and the cold wind howled in all around him, but then most of the cold disappeared, and as soon as he took off the hood, he could clearly see the kidnapper's true face.

This situation was common in various parts of the empire, where bandits kidnapped the children of nobles and then demanded a ransom to release them.

Every noble has received this kind of kidnapping training and knows what to do, but the combination of a woman and a man in front of him doesn't seem to be asking for money.

"We're here to ask for money!"

Well, it seems that Mr. Foss guessed wrong, but he can breathe a sigh of relief, making money without killing, and these bandits have a bit of conscience.

"How much do you want?"

Try to negotiate, then lower your ransom as much as possible, then get some clues, and finally lead the family soldiers to get rid of these two bandits.

Wende unhurriedly took out a medal from his bosom, all nobles knew this thing, that's right, a knight's medal, the knight's medal of Bretonnia.

"I sold a batch of wine from your city of Eschen, but you are shoddy! Especially that person who calls himself Vezela! She's playing tricks on me, you better know something about her!"

It has to be said that Wende's ability to pretend and open his mouth is getting stronger and stronger. He only needs to disguise himself as an identity, and then it is convenient to obtain information.

If he explained that he was the elector of Sylvania, these nobles might use the words they had prepared to prevaricate themselves. It would be easier to obtain clearer information by making up an identity.

"Vizela is not this kind of person, she will never lie, absolutely not, she, how much does she owe you."

"Five hundred gold coins."

After all, it seems that Mr. Foss is really infatuated with that woman named Vezela, and he refuses to reveal her identity at all.

"It's just five hundred gold coins. I paid it back for her. Come with me. Although I don't have cash, I can borrow it from a friend."

After realizing that Wende and Ruixi were not the kidnappers, Master Foss also stood up directly, and Wende did not tie the hands and feet of the noble son.

I can only take a step and look at it. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Mr. Foss. If he brings the two of them into the encirclement of private soldiers, Wende can only reveal his identity as the elector.

It was snowing heavily. I don't know if it was because Mr. Foss was wearing gorgeous clothes, but he didn't feel a trace of cold, and he walked unimpeded in the snow.

The place they arrived at was not some encirclement or trap, but another nobleman's manor.

The guard standing at the door saw Mr. Foss coming at once, and was not wondering why he came at midnight, and opened the door for the group if he was prepared.

Zedd Manor, Wende has heard of this name, a nobleman who started his business by trading red wine, and a family that dominates the import and export business of Eschen City.

Could it be that he came here to inquire about the import and export information of red wine?This can easily expose Wende's true identity, so he can only say something like smuggling in his heart to see if he can temporarily deceive others.

Just like friends visiting the house, the servants on duty at night in the manor did not show any doubts about the arrival of Mr. Foss, as if he often came here at night.

Walking up to the second floor with ease, he knocked on the door of the most central room upstairs.

"Zed, Zed, wake up first, I have something to do with you!"

But no matter how loud Mr. Foss knocked on the door, there was no response from the room. With such a loud knock on the door, even a sleeping troll could wake up, but the servants said that Zed had never left the manor at all. .

Anyway, the relationship is so good, so it doesn't matter so much noble etiquette.

Foss took a step back and slammed open the thick door of the room, but the scene in front of him made him freeze in place in surprise.

When Wende arrived later, he also felt a deep cold behind him.

A rope is hung on the crystal chandelier in the center of the room, which is combined into a hanging rope.

The neck of Zed's corpse without any fabric was wrapped in the rope. Looking at the already blue face, it was impossible to know whether it was the long death time or the cold wind howling from outside.

That's right, the window of this room was opened directly, and the snow outside piled up near the window.

Wende immediately ran to the corpse. He was sure that the noble named Zed had died. Looking out the window, it was covered in thick snow without any footprints.

"Who, who will kill Zed! No, it shouldn't be!"

Mr. Foss, who was stunned for a long time, knelt directly on the ground, and the howl resounded throughout the manor.

Finally, the doctor in charge of examining the corpse came to the scene.
