Sword of Daybreaker

Chapter 174: Lilith Kant’s visit

As he was scheduled to be a guest at Kant for a few days, after a rather welcoming banquet, Viscount Victor Kant arranged a place for Gao Wen and his entourage to rest.

This ancient castle does not feel good about Gao Wen.

Although it is filled with light and warmth, the magical crystal lamps and the newly-sold windows, doors, windows and chairs have dispelled the oppression caused by the nightfall, but Gao Wenxin still has an unpleasant feeling. He could see through the bright window machines and the whitewashed white walls that the deep look of the castle was behind the glazed coverings, black and icy stones, greasy moss and vertical and horizontal cracks, and Shadows and germs that continue to grow in those wet fissures.

After a brief conversation with Victor Kant, Gao Wen returned to his room on the grounds that he needed a break after the trip. This is a room specially designed for the distinguished guests. It has the same gorgeous furnishings and warm fireplace as the castle's master bedroom. On both sides of the room are the rooms where the amber and Philip Knights rest, and there are rooms for guests opposite the room. A lounge for playing chess and a place for tea reading.

The rain outside the window is still down, and there are signs that the wind is getting stronger, and Gao Wen comes to the window and looks at the Kant Castle in the rainy night through this expensive artificial crystal. The ripples of water create a constantly changing trajectory on the sash, which also makes the outside scene not only embarrassing, but also distorted, and in this distorted view, he can see several towers of Kant Castle opposite. Standing in the night.

The pedestals of the towers have several windows that illuminate the lights, sketching out the outlines of the buildings, but the upper part of them is dark and almost integrated into the dark night.

Gao Wen frowned and carefully observed the towers. After focusing his attention, he suddenly saw a distinct crack in the middle of one of the towers.

The cracks seemed to squirm and grow in the darkness, and quickly spread to the entire upper half of the tower. They widened little by little, revealing the tallest tower of the blood like the blood in the crack. The cracks appear fragmented and collapsed in a slow-motion-like manner, with a lot of exclamations and screams in the middle.

Gao Wen quickly woke up, and the sound of the wind and the rain again passed through the window into the house. He saw that the tower opposite was once again restored. The previous cracks and shouts disappeared like dreams.

But Gao Wen didn't really think of it as an illusion. He immediately frowned, and he had doubts in his heart: "Is there a certain large-scale illusion in the castle?"

A moment of soft footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. It seemed to be coming to the room. Gao Wen quickly arranged his expression, as if nothing had happened. He only opened the door when the door knocked.

The door opened, a woman in her 30-year-old who was wearing a long white dress and carrying a lantern in her hand stood outside the door. The lady had long hair with a linen color, and her face seemed to be very pale due to illness. She stood there cautiously, and her face seemed to look at Gao Wen with a little restraint and tension.

Gao Wen looked at the other person with a faint look, and then showed a curious look: "Ms.?"

"Hello, are you the Duke of Govin Cecil?" The woman at the door said in a very low voice, it seems that if the voice is louder, it will not come.

Gao Wen nodded: "I am Gao Wen Cecil, who are you?"

"Victor Kant is my husband," said the sickly woman, who seems to be only about 30 years old, whispering, although the voice is very low, but the tone still has the elegance of a nobleman, "I am this castle." The hostess, my name is Lilith Kant."

"Visitor?" Gao Wen looked at the other person unexpectedly. He didn't expect that the Viscount Kant, who seemed to be dying, would have such a young and beautiful wife, but he thought of the "tradition" of the nobility, his unexpected feelings. It didn't last long, but it was just curious why I didn't see each other at the banquet before, and I didn't listen to the old prince mentioning her. "Did you not attend the dinner before?"

"I am weak, my illness makes me unable to eat with many people, and I can't come out to meet guests during the day," Lilith Kant said apologetically. "I know you will come to visit the castle, but my husband. I insisted on letting me rest until the evening and now my spirit is better. He asked me to say hello to the guests."

She then hung the lantern on the hook next to the door and bowed slightly to say: "Welcome to you, the great Duke of Govin Cecil, please forgive me for not being able to fulfill the responsibility of being the hostess here."

"Ah, don't mind," Gao Wen said a lot of speculation and suspicion one by one, but the expression on his face was still very light. "You only have to come out at night? Oh, I know some Knowledge about pharmacy may help your health."

Lilith Kant showed a pale smile: "My husband invited me to the best pharmacist, but my weakness is not just because of illness, but also because of the natural constitution, this is no way to treat with drugs. Still very grateful for your concern, Lord Duke."

Gao Wen did not intend to invite the Viscountess into the house, because the other party was visiting alone. This invitation was impolite. Even if it was the castle of the Kant family, he just stood at the door and chilled a few words. The lady then left with a message.

After the other party left, Gao Wen’s eyes instantly became fierce.

The lantern in the other hand!

That is the magic lantern that Gao Wen saw in his dreams and served as the center of the ritual sacrifice at the bottom of the Kant family castle. It was exactly 700 years ago that Gao Wen Cecil was given as a gift to the then dream bishop Selena Ge. The light of the minute!

However, Gao Wen did not point out on the spot, and did not take any action, because he did not feel any magical fluctuations from the lantern, which indicates that the lantern is "fake" or a fake, or the lantern has been magic The transformation of strength, the core of its true power is still sleeping somewhere in this castle, and in this case rash action, it is likely to be only a bad thing.

At this time, a voice from the side interrupted Gao Wen’s thoughts: “Hey? Old... Gao Wen, what are you doing at the door?”

I saw that the door next door was pushed open, and half of Amber’s head came out of the door frame and looked at herself curiously.

And she didn't wait for Gao Wen to answer, and then she swayed with enthusiasm and shook hands, holding a pair of cards in her hand: "I found a set of 'king decks' in the room! You put the poker face next door. Call us three cards!"

"I am going to call you, but I am not planning to play cards." Gao Wen looked at the half-elf with helplessness and then knocked on Philip's door.

I asked everyone who had just visited the lady who had just visited: "I just saw Victor Kant’s wife, Lilith Kant, she looks very wrong..."

After listening to Gao Wen’s description, Amber’s pointed ear immediately shook: “So the old man has a wife who can almost be his granddaughter? You are really a shame when you are a nobleman.”

Then her thoughts spread out: "I still have the spirit of elves, I don't dare to guess my age, even if you are seven hundred years old, you can go out." I told you that I was the same age as you..."

The Philippine Knight, who had always been serious, suddenly looked at the amber with amazement. The half-elf girl talked with the mouth and ran into the train again, hitting the poor straight knight again.

Gao Wen’s answer to Amber is to knock on the skull: “Say business!”

"We have not heard of such a 'Virgin's presence," said the Philip Knight, who said, "The Viscount Victor Kant did not mention it. This is very abnormal, even if the Viscount is unable to come out because of illness. The Viscount himself is not even mentioning it, and there are so many maids and maids in the castle, and no one privately talks about there is a hostess here... this is too strange."

"To say this, I used to chat with people in the castle." Amber squatted with the skull that Gao Wen knocked on, and participated in the serious discussion. "They did not mention that the castle has a mistress, but They mentioned that the old viscount had a son, called Belm, but left the castle when he was very young, saying that he had traveled to the central region and had not returned for decades..."

Gao Wen touched his chin: "Don't come back for decades? Is this going to travel or let people sell it!"

Amber rolled his eyes: "Is it possible to go to the big aristocratic family in the central region who has the interest to exchange as a hostage? Are you nobles not happy?"

"Don't say, we didn't want to do this in the past," Gao Wen said solemnly. "We were all consciously relying on the covenant, but we couldn't rely on the little tricks of exchange of hostages."

Philip Knight suddenly admired: "That is what honest and honest people should do."

"No, mainly the old cockroaches of the founding countries are generally grumpy. At that time, whoever spoke is not to be shackled by the national aristocracy. Sometimes the king is free. The king has personally passed away. Because the traffic is not convenient, everyone has the first, The old-fashioned old pigeons who hit the door sometimes have a continuous stream of years, and that is why they dare not violate the covenant..."

Philip: "..."

"Mom, how did the aristocrats who were so honest and honest in the past become what they are today?" Amber was very eager for the era described by Gao Wen. I think that the current temperament shook his head with regret. "In short, The heir of the Kant family called Belm is indeed going out to travel, because he often sends a letter back. If there is no accident, after the death of the old Kant, the Belm Kant will end the tour and return to inherit the family business."
