Alchemist’s Daily Life In Foreign World

The original Spencer’s Baron House was located just north of the Shire town center.

It can be said that the entire town was built around here.

Edward's group of five people followed the traces of their footprints, climbed over the collapsed wall, and came all the way to the door of the Baron House.

The courtyard of Baron House is not big, only a little bigger than the courtyard of Edward's.

Everyone can understand that it’s not that Sir Spencer doesn’t want to talk about pomp, but that he is limited to a town all around which is full of walls. The town is too small and there is only so much land.

The stone house in Baron House is more like a mini fortress. It can be seen that it was originally a mixed stone and wood building.

Such houses are very common in the new continent.

Generally wealthy people will use the lower layer of stone and the upper layer of wood.

It's not that you can't afford stones, but the population of the new continent is too small.

Building a stone house like a castle takes too much time and effort to have such a compromise.

In the building in front of me, most of the stone walls collapsed inward due to the burning of the wooden beams and pillars inside.

Only leave a complete front door opening standing on the ground.

It can be seen that the remaining part is the main hall of the Baron House. It may be because of the face-to-face relationship that the all-stone structure was used. Even the floor on the second floor and the ceiling on the first floor It is built of slate.

So the whole building is not collapsed only here.

The stone wall is full of dead branches of vines. It can be guessed that in summer, it will be completely covered by the green leaves of vines.

Now there is thick snow on the dead branches of the vines, and it looks like a Snow Mountain cave from a distance.

The inside of the doorway was dark, and that string of footprints disappeared at the door of the room.

Everyone didn't enter immediately, but stood still and hesitated.

"It seems that the person has entered. It's not a lost hunter who went in to escape the wind and cold?"

Monica guessed.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but there is no footprint!"

Andrea said.

"I hope we won't encounter a corpse when we go in."

Alice said untimely.

"I have a question. Why did Baron's house burn down?

Isn’t the current Spencer Baron in White Eagle City?

Has he ever objected?"

Edward did not rush in, but asked an irrelevant question.

"Of course I have opposed it, but it is useless to oppose it.

New continent has its own rules for dealing with the plague."

Andrea said.

Edward nodded expressed his understanding that in the era of underdeveloped science, most humans prevented the spread of the plague in this way. He continued to ask:

"Then his family’s property, I mean No one will clean things like gold and silver?"

"I don’t know, maybe it was assigned by the investigation team that came here to deal with the funeral.

Anyway, my father doesn’t care about this. Yes, without any errands, who would risk a mortal danger to come here?

I only know that father and the city hall each gave Robin’s father a sum of money as a settlement fee. He didn’t. Come to Shire Town."

Andrea Princess recalled.

"Your family is so kind to the vassals.

The rules of Central Plains, if you lose your land and population, you have to take back your title.

You don’t just give Their family retains the title, but they pay the settlement fee?"

Monica spoke next to her.

"The title of the new continent is worthless, and our family is nothing but the rich man in your eyes.

Besides, if you don’t play better, no one will follow you in the new continent. Fuck!

Money is a trivial matter, no one is available to be a major event!"

Andrea lost his original restraint in front of acquaintances, and spoke casually.

Edward, an ordinary person in his previous life, has a hard time understanding the way the upper person thinks about problems.

He nodded and said:

"Go in and have a look, get your weapons ready, and turn on the magic light on the helmet.

The space inside should not be big, don’t Open the night vision magic array!

But you must be careful and try not to touch the contents inside.

This place is the only room that has not collapsed. Be careful of the collapse.

My magic shield can only block it, but it can’t withstand hundreds of kilograms of rock to press it down.”

Speaking, he turned on the magic lamp on the helmet and walked gently to it. Doorway.

He took out a fist sized glass ball from the space ring and threw it in.

As soon as the ball hits the ground, it lights up, taking a clear picture of the dark interior.

"Ah, Edward, can you make that kind of magic lamp?"

Monica asked in surprise.

"No, this is just an imitation. It contains the gem fragments from the last time the sword was inlaid with gems. It can only be bright for ten minutes!"

Edward explained, he motioned Monica stopped talking and looked inside with all her concentration.

The walls in the room are full of black traces of excessive fire, and the ashes in the corners can still tell where the furniture was originally placed.

Thick dust fell on the ground, and the footprints inside were a bit messy.

There are still many claw marks on the wall, like traces of some ferocious wild beast.

Apart from this did not see people or corpses.

Edward waved his hand to prevent everyone from entering, carefully observing the scene in front of him.

Monica and Andrea also stretched their heads to look at everything in front of them.

"This is the claw mark of the Level 2 devil beast Snow Mountain lion. This kind of devil beast is very common on the Western border. Equivalent to the strength of an official Knight.

It may be a Snow Mountain The lion has made a home here. Look at the corner of the wall, there is still a pile of withered grass, that is its nest.

There are some broken bones beside the nest.

The people who came in and the Snow Mountain The lion had an encounter in this room. You can see that the ground is full of messy footprints, some of which are devil beasts and others.” Andrea analyzed.

"Who won, then?"

Alice came over and asked.

"People!" Monica said. As a Great Knight, or assassin, she also has a clear judgment on the traces of the battle.

"Why do you say that? There are no devil beasts or human corpses."

Alice asked unconvincedly.

"It's because there are no bodies, and don't you think there is something missing here?"

Monica said.

"What's missing?" Alice asked rhetorically.

"There is less blood! There are only the claw marks of devil beast, no traces of knife and axe.

If devil beast wins, he will definitely be eaten on the spot, so The blood will be left all over the ground.

Because there is no blood, it means that the man didn’t use a weapon to kill the devil beast. He must have beaten the devil beast to death with his fist!"

Monica said confidently.

"In other words, the owner of the footprints is a Great Knight-level professional?"

Alice asked.

"It's very possible, otherwise I don't dare to come to this place alone.

Alright, let's go in and see."

Edward walked away after he said it. Went in.

After entering the house, five people scattered around the house to take a look. The house is not small, about 20 square meters.

It is 4 meters by 5 meters long and wide, but there is no pillar to support the roof.

Edward looked up at the roof and realized that this roof uses an arch-shaped roof with a clear arc on the roof, just like the bridge hole of Zhaozhou Bridge in the elementary school textbook.

Judging from the traces of the fire, there must have been exquisite murals painted on it at the beginning. Comparing with the narrow courtyard, you can see the low-key luxury of the host's house at the beginning.

After inspection, everyone found that the upward stairs and the left and right corridors of this room were all held down by the collapsed wood and stone, and there was no sign of being turned over.

The clue seems to have become a breakpoint here.

Now the question is, where did the person who came in and the corpse of the devil beast go?
