Chapter 267 Castle

Seeing that Chen Fan was about to leave, Mayor Jose's face was full of hesitation, but he finally gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Lord Chen Fan, are you ready to explore the castle?"

There were a few people who were still talking and laughing, but when they heard the word castle, their expressions changed obviously.

The expression was one-third panic, one-third fear, and the rest was worry.

Surprising!

The castle was like a taboo topic, which made the town managers so afraid.

They can be considered veterans with many years of experience, but they can't even control their expressions.

"Yes, when I come here, I can't stay in a hotel all the time. I always have to find a place to stay."

"I heard that the castle has been passed down by many generations of lords and has many years of history. Can't we find someone to renovate it so that we can move in?"

Seeing Chen Fan's very interested expression, Jose continued to speak.

"Sir Chen Fan, have you never heard that dozens of people were burned to death in that castle?"

"I heard it, what's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Fan with no fear on his face, several people's expressions were also very strange.

That expression seemed to be saying.

Knowing that so many people have died, you still want to live there?

"Ahem, since the tragedy in that castle, I heard that people often hear strange sounds coming from inside."

"Yes, I have also heard people say that some people passing by have seen the Baron standing on the castle..."

Everyone, what you say is what I say.

They are all trying to make that place look like a den of some kind of fierce ghost.

Chen Fan had been listening quietly, but suddenly he said coldly: "Are you talking about being haunted?"

"If it's haunted, then you don't have to worry about setting fire to dozens of people in that family. That baron comes back from the underworld to take revenge?"

"Will those dozens of innocent dead souls come back in the middle of the night to take revenge on the murderers and those who stood by and watched..."

Chen Fan's voice was faint, and his eyes were a bit scary.

The few people who originally wanted to tell Chen Fan some ghost stories were frightened by Chen Fan's words.

The financial chief from Fendi, the royal capital, was so frightened that he had to hold on to the table.

The atmosphere in the room changed and became extremely tense.

"A nobleman of the kingdom died here so inexplicably."

"A few years ago, it might have been him, but who knows, a few years later, it might have been me?"

"I'm more afraid of people than ghosts."

"If I don't figure things out, do you think I can sleep well?"

Chen Fan asked everyone in return, his eyes sweeping over them.

"This this……"

A small town mayor like Jose who hangs out at the grassroots level is usually a very slippery guy.

But at this moment, he was too stunned to say a single word.

Chen Fan dared to say these words in front of this group of people because he felt that at most they were the ones who knew the inside story.

Not the murderer who caused that tragedy.

Just because they are not qualified enough to shut the mouths of the Knights Union and the army.

Chen Fan wanted to dig out what happened back then from their mouths.

His target is also very clear, that is the mayor Jose.

"Mayor Jose, I'm going to find Kanter now."

"That's a nice young man. He is much better at facing the fear of the unknown than you old people."

Seeing Chen Fan's expressionless face, Jose collapsed and became anxious.

Chen Fan caught his weakness. Jose didn't care what happened to the new nobleman after he wanted to explore the old castle.

However, the other party brought his favorite little son with him.

Family is Jose's weakness.

Jose didn't ask again if it was nonsense that he had to go. Chen Fan had already made it clear before.

This was something that might endanger his life, so it was impossible to pretend he didn't know about it.

Taking a deep breath, Jose glanced at the people in the room, as if he had made a decision.

"Lord Chen Fan, do you have the time and interest to listen to me tell a story from a long time ago?"

Hearing this, the faces of several people nearby changed wildly, trying to stop Jose.

But they were glanced at by Chen Fan's cold gaze first, and they all closed their mouths.

Chen Fan chuckled, clapped his hands gently, and sat back to his original seat leisurely.

"Move over, people, and prepare chairs and tea. We need some time."

Julia nodded very wisely and left, and did not come in again.

I still don’t know what will happen next, or whether it will involve other troubles.

Not letting Julia know for the time being is also to protect her.

Jose did not speak immediately, but was brewing something.

Soon, a servant brought tea.

After taking a sip of maple leaf tea, Chen Fan did not speak, but waited quietly.

After getting ready, Jose finally spoke.

"This will be a long story. I hope you will stick around to hear it until the end."

The last Baron was called Damon Wicked, but we are more accustomed to calling him Little Puppet.

The little puppet is not a local of our Maplewood Town. Twenty years ago, he came to us following a bard.

The bard can perform puppet shows. He can control six or seven puppets at the same time with one hand, and he can also impersonate the voices of various people.

He used a wooden box and lifelike puppets to perform puppet shows one after another to earn some living expenses.

The little puppet was brought by the bard. He is only fourteen years old and is responsible for doing some menial work for the other party. He is also the bard's..."

If this story were heard by others, it would definitely be very exciting.

But for Chen Fan, he didn't feel much.

He also became a noble from a slave.

“The two of them came here because they wanted to find the best carpenter from us and carve the most lifelike puppet for him.

In order to achieve this goal, the two of them stayed in our Maplewood Town for a long time and found many craftsmen, but unfortunately, they could not meet the requirements of that person.

At that time, the lord of Maplewood Town was still Baron "Dada Simon".

The Baroness was very interested in the puppet show and took the initiative to invite the two people into Maple Leaf Castle, which is now an abandoned castle.

Perhaps, this is the source of all the tragedies that happened in Maplewood Town. "

Speaking of this, Jose's mood seemed a little low.

Chen Fan calculated in his mind, if based on age.

Twenty years ago, Jose was still a young man.

Seeing the silence of the other party, Chen Fan couldn't help but asked curiously: "What happened to Baron Simon?"

Jose suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Chen Fan with an extremely frightened expression on his face.

"died!"

"Baron Simon's whole family is dead!"

"They were like puppets, all hung from the ceiling, hanging themselves..."
