Chapter 8 Castle Opera House (8)

"Of course." Viscount Leicester said in a low voice, "This is not a secret that cannot be leaked..."

After saying that, Mrs. Leicester, who was standing behind him, looked even more sad, showing a hint of worry.

"I'll start from the beginning."

The Viscount Leicester paused for two seconds, and continued after collecting his thoughts, "My name is Oliver Leicester, a hereditary Viscount of the Kingdom of Leiden."

"My ancestors accumulated outstanding military exploits in the Great Patriotic War 300 years ago. Those merits not only helped him successfully rank among the nobles, but also allowed him to come into contact with the kingdom's untold secret—magic."

"After the war, the king gave him West Linde County. With his extraordinary courage and extraordinary business acumen, he earned a very rich fortune in just ten years."

"It's a pity... as a descendant of my ancestor, I did not inherit his outstanding ability. The century-old foundation of the Leicester family... was destroyed shortly after I took over..."

Speaking of this, Oliver Lester sighed softly, "If you have any doubts about what I said, you can open the blood-stained book, and there is a newspaper inside, which can prove all of this."

Chi Yu thought for a moment, then looked back at Dazzling Scarlet Nian.

Seeing the latter nodded slightly, she stopped hesitating, went around behind the table, and picked up the tome.

Sure enough, there was an old newspaper clipped inside.

Chi Yu carefully opened the folded flimsy paper, first glanced at the content on it quickly, and then read it aloud.

"It is reported that the debt of Viscount Oliver Leicester, who lives in West Lindshire, has reached a staggering 30 gold pounds. His creditor, Mr. Evanson, once said that as long as Viscount Leicester is willing to pay part of the land price, he can repay all the land. arrears..."

Oliver Lester continued: "At that time, the land under my name was less than 150 million hectares. If part of it was compensated to Evanson, the land I owned would be lower than the minimum area required by the viscount. "

"You know, for a nobleman, nothing is more important than his title."

When hearing "30 gold pounds" and "150 million acres", the venture capitalist's lips opened and closed several times, and the phrase "big dog" has already reached his lips.

However, due to the dignified atmosphere at the scene, he did not dare to say the curse from beating workers.

"Excuse me, may I interrupt, Mr. Lester."

Having said that, Chi Yu continued before Viscount Leicester made a statement, "As far as we know, your wife is the only daughter of a wealthy businessman, have you ever thought of asking her father for help?" ?”

Oliver Lester was silent for a long time: "Before she married me, my wife was named Mariette Evanson."

"And..." Mrs. Lester added, "my father just gave me a brother a few years ago."

……understood.

Chi Yu immediately shut his mouth, feeling endless emotions in his heart.

You rich people are so complicated...

"Let's get back to the topic we just started."

Mr. Lester lowered his eyes slightly, his light brown pupils shone with an indescribable light, "Due to my mistake, the Leicester family has fallen into an unprecedented crisis."

"In order to maintain the glory of the Leicester family, I found a ritual from the handbook left by my ancestors."

"Using human blood and life as sacrifices, pray for power from unknown existence."

"And the wish I made is to let the glory of the Leicester family last forever."

When Chi Yu heard this, the scene in the utility room suddenly flashed before his eyes.

She raised her head abruptly: "So you just..."

"That's right, before coming here, you should have checked the underground storage room, right?"

Viscount Leicester simply admitted his crime, "In order to meet the needs of the ceremony, I killed Ella and Black one after another, and put their bodies on the 'altar' prepared in advance."

Following his narration, the three of Hua Feinian also realized something, their expressions were either surprised, or serious and vigilant.

"However, what I didn't expect was that my daughter Dinah witnessed the whole process of me killing Black...Although I really want to ignore this fact, but..."

"But, to be on the safe side, you have to eliminate the potential threat of Dinah, right?" Hua Feinian's voice had already become as cold as frost.

This time, Oliver Lester was silent for a longer time.

"We have no choice," said Mrs. Leicester softly.

"No, it's not that you have no choice, it's just that in your hearts, the so-called title is obviously more important than family affection."

Chi Yu casually tore off their masks, "Okay, we don't care about your so-called unspeakable secrets. We just want to know, after killing Dinah, what turned you into this way?"

"...It's Dinah." Viscount Leicester replied, "Dinah after becoming a soul."

...As expected.

Chi Yu didn't answer any more, but quietly waited for the next sentence.

"Maybe it's the influence of the altar in the storage room, or maybe it's just the punishment of the gods on us."

Viscount Leicester closed his eyes, "Anyway, the day after Dinah's death, her soul returned here and sneaked into the house without us noticing."

"She then tore our bodies to shreds with a force we couldn't resist," Mrs Leicester added.

"We have no regrets about the ending of death. If we want to say what sustains our existence... I think it should be regret and guilt."

"We have nothing else to ask for... we only hope that you can purify Dinah's grievances, which can be regarded as... our atonement for her."

As soon as the words fell, Chi Yu and the others heard a soft "squeak".

That voice came from not far away, and then, a biting cold wind blew past... It was as if someone had opened the gate to hell.

at the same time.

click, click, click...

Weak, gentle footsteps sounded, and they were getting closer.

Hua Feinian, who was standing at the door, took a deep breath: "Let's go... Let's fight!"

"Wait." Chi Yu stopped the three who were about to turn around.

She looked back at the Leicester couple, "Are you so sure that we can defeat Dinah's wraith? What if we fail?"

Viscount Leicester looked indifferently: "Why, since you chose to enter this castle that has been abandoned for many years, it means...you are confident that you have the ability to overcome all accidents."

"You can't say that. Even if we are powerful enough, we don't know Dinah at all, and we don't know the Leicester family."

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, but Chi Yu didn't panic at all, and continued to "struggle with reason", "For us, there is no difference between fighting the wraith head-on and fleeing the castle directly."

"But you are different, you have a reason to purify the wraith... don't you?"

Is this... reasoning with an NPC?
Hua Feinian, who was on guard, couldn't help complaining in her heart.

At the door of the room, the formation of the three players has already changed, from the previous "one-character long snake formation" to Hua Feinian standing alone in the front, with venture capitalists and Aoki Nanzhi at the rear.

Chi Yu glanced at them, imitating the tone of a certain system and said unhurriedly: "We don't care, but if Dinah sees that you two who killed her are still here...Who are you?" There's no guarantee that she won't get out of control and do something, can she?"

Hey, hey, if you can't lure, now you've changed to threatening, right?In order to get benefits, you really do everything you can...

Hearing Chi Yu say so much, Viscount Leicester was still unmoved: "You don't need to waste time, if we had a way to deal with the Wraith, we wouldn't have died in the first place."

"That's right." The venture capitalist couldn't help but answer.

The corner of Viscount Leicester's mouth twitched: "...However, we can still provide some small help."

After finishing the words, before Chiyu could ask carefully, he stretched out his right hand and drew a strange pattern out of thin air.

In the void, light blue lines overlapped each other, and soon formed a pattern of intertwined swords and horns.

After the pattern was formed, it immediately "flyed" into the hilt in Chi Yu's hand at an extremely fast speed, and merged with it.

"This is the rune I learned from the Ancestor's Handbook. It has the same source as Dinah's power... Maybe it can cause some damage to her."

Viscount Leicester reminded, "However, limited to my current state, this rune cannot exist for a long time, so please be sure to seize the time."

"Understood, thank you." Chi Yu said casually.

Without his explanation, Chi Yu already knew the specific effect of the rune from the changed item description.

[Special Item: Epee with Spirit. 】

[Item attribute: weapon. 】

[Attack Power: Weak. 】

[Level Rating: Rare. 】

[Conditions of use: Fighting talent E, player level less than twenty. 】

[Special effect: Increase the player's attack power to 120% of the theoretical limit.When attacking a spirit body, there is a 50% chance to add paralysis effect. 】

[Remarks: This is the most commonly used saber of the first Viscount Leicester, and it has been passed down along with it, and there is also a passage written by the first Viscount himself-"I will treat the weak with mercy, and I will bravely face Against powerful enemies, I will always fight against evil until the last moment of my life.”]

The use condition is "Fighting Talent E", ah, what a pity...

[Yeah, although the previous battle has activated your fighting talent, it is only at the "F" level, and there is still a distance from the "E" level.In the final analysis, you are still too weak. 】

The long-lost system notification sounded suddenly.

While putting the upgraded [Epee Sword] into the props column, Chi Yu retorted not to be outdone, "You're still here, I thought you were dead."

[How should I put it, the relationship between me and you is like the lord and loyal minister in "Three Kingdoms Killing". If I die, you die, but if you die, I may not necessarily die. 】

...Damn it, there is no way to refute it.

When you have a chance, you must try to kill this system.

Chi Yu thought to himself.
