Soul echo

Chapter 282 'Lies'

Zhong Ye and the others broke into the manor all the way, and encountered many soldiers and servants trying to protect the lord along the way, but they didn't even have muskets in their hands, and all they used were cold weapons, not even weapons. A stick or something.

Lilian didn't even pull out the light sword, and grabbed a wooden stick snatched from a servant, and easily defeated the surrounding soldiers.

Only then did she have a clear understanding of her own strength.

She had been by Zhong Ye's side before, and her enemies were either cultists or demons, and they shouldn't be enemies at her level.

Other players were still fighting wild beasts at level [-] or [-], and were still in danger of starving. Lilian was already fighting mutants.

Afterwards, she fought against demons and cultists again and again. Only now, after fighting these ordinary noble private soldiers, did Lilian truly realize how powerful she is.

Even if she only holds a wooden stick, she can use the stick to defeat them one by one when surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Of course, although these private soldiers did not have muskets, they also had bows and crossbows.

However, none of these crossbows posed any threat to Lilian and Lily Lieber—Zhong Ye blocked them.

They broke into the manor all the way without killing anyone, at most they wounded those who stood in their way.

In a room in the manor closer to the river bank, they managed to meet the master of the city.

"Why don't you run?"

When Zhong Ye and the others saw Baron Gombola, the thin old man was sitting behind a desk.

Lily strode in with an ax and gun, looked at the old man, and questioned him.

"Because... I don't need to run." The old man stood up with a smile, and bowed to Lily, "Have you enjoyed yourself? Your Highness Lily."

"Play?"

Lily's face changed suddenly, and she suddenly chopped the ax spear on the wooden table in front of Baron Gombura, and with a "boom", the ax was completely embedded in the table.

"You think that's 'playing'?!"

Baron Gombola was taken aback, looked up at Lily in a daze, and stammered, "Isn't it? Originally, I really wanted to escape, but after I sent someone to check the situation at the gate of the manor, Only then did I realize that you were here, so, so I asked people to play with you...Of course, they didn’t know about it! I didn’t let them use bows and crossbows at first, but seeing this martial artist next to you, I just Allowing them to use bows and crossbows. Isn't that what you like?"

Hearing these words, Lily Lieber knew why Baron Gombura used the word 'play' to describe everything they had experienced before.

——He just regarded himself as a wayward princess who ran out of the palace to 'play the adventurer game', so he designed all this.

"...Are you thinking I'm playing 'Adventurer Game'?" Lily raised her eyebrows and asked through gritted teeth.

"No, no, I definitely didn't mean that!"

Startled for a moment, Baron Gombola knew that he had said something wrong, with a look of panic on his face, he hurriedly denied: "I just, I just thought you would like it..."

"Am I the kind of arrogant and domineering person who doesn't care about human life?!" Lily's voice suddenly increased, "You old bastard, what do you do with human life? Do you treat it as a plaything? Now that you know I'm here Here, why do you still let those people stop me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again..." Baron Gombura nodded and bowed again and again, admitting his mistake 'sincerely'.

However, Zhong Ye didn't feel any regret or fear from his attitude.

He said it nicely, but in fact, if he was asked to make another choice, he would still do it.

Lily also felt Baron Gombola's duplicity, she was gasping for breath, her face flushed, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Do you want to directly kill this disgusting guy in front of you?He is not her father's vassal, even if she was, she would not be able to do such a thing on her behalf!

"We are here this time mainly to ask you something."

Zhong Ye sighed, pressed Lily's shoulders, and asked Baron Gombola: "May I ask, sir, do you know what happened in Chartres recently?"

Baron Gombola was taken aback for a moment. Although he didn't know who this man was, the relationship between him and the princess seemed to be not simple...

His thoughts turned around in his mind, and then, Baron Gombola smiled ambiguously, "Oh, you are talking about the undead, right? Your Highness Lily, please rest assured that we have completely resolved this matter, no There will be undead who can harm the people under my rule, they are absolutely safe!"

After figuring out Lily's attitude towards life, Baron Gombola changed his attitude. He suddenly changed from a nobleman who regarded human life as nothing and a plaything to a responsible person who cared about the lives and property safety of the people under his rule. the lord.

The speed is fast, but only 2 minutes.

Lily's arms were shaking with anger, and Lilian's eyes were full of contempt, and the bullet screen in front of her was brushed up.

But Baron Gombola turned a blind eye and smiled at Zhong Ye and Lily Lieber.

Zhong Ye didn't say anything about it, and continued to ask: "Besides this, what else do you know?"

"Ah..." Baron Gombola blinked, not knowing why the black-haired man asked these things.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes drifted to Lily, and he immediately understood.

"Other, other..." Baron Gombola muttered, his eyes rolling in their sockets.

Suddenly, he yelled: "Ah, I remembered! My subordinates also reported to me that those undead were caused by some altars. It's just because the temperature has been cold these days, so I didn't take any action until the weather became clear." Don't worry, when the time comes, I will let them destroy those hateful altars!"

"Is there anything else?" Zhong Ye asked again.

Baron Gombola kept a smile on his face, couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart, and replied respectfully: "Other than that, there are no other questions, these things are as simple as that, they are just a group of damned heretics The reason——Of course, those cultists have been wiped out by us, and everything is not a problem!"

Zhong Ye's subordinates pressed hard, held down Lily who was about to yell, turned around and nodded to her, "That's the situation, we can go."

Lily's face darkened, she stared at Zhong Ye, and after a while, she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.

"……Walk!"

While she was speaking, Zhong Ye helped her pull out the ax and gun embedded in the desk.

Lily Lieber threw the ax to her shoulder, gave Baron Gombura a cold look, and turned to leave.

——[I'm in Chartres, this damn old thing dares to bully our princess, wait for him to die! 】

Seeing such a barrage flashing past, Lilian hurriedly advised, and then followed Lily Lieber's footsteps.

Zhong Ye was the last to leave Baron Gonbra's office. Before leaving, he narrowed his eyes slightly as he saw the smirk on his face.

"... Bah, what is it!"

Hearing the low curse from the room, Zhong Ye remained expressionless.

The deacon of the Gombala family, who hid before but appeared again, was waiting in front of them. He respectfully brought the three of Zhong Ye to the bridge dedicated to the Gombula family, and asked them to return to Saudi Arabia through this bridge. you.

After returning to Chartres, Lily still felt overwhelmed, and turned to look at Zhong Ye, "Why didn't you let me talk just now?"

"That Baron Gombola, nothing he said was true." Zhong Ye replied coldly.

His words stunned both Lily and Lilian.

Lilian, who was persuading the audience, stopped speaking and looked at Zhong Ye anxiously, waiting for his explanation.

"Why do you say that?" Lily suppressed her anger and frowned, "Did you feel something?"

Zhong Ye nodded his ears, "Do you know? If I listen carefully, I can hear the sounds of your internal organs wriggling and blood flowing. As long as you move, I can also hear the sounds of your muscles twisting and joints moving." It is even easier to distinguish between the sound of heartbeat and breathing."

Lily's pupils dilated, and she held her breath subconsciously, but soon, she realized that Zhong Ye was explaining to them why he could feel that Baron Gombola was lying.

"The Baron of Gombola...is there a problem?"

Zhong Ye nodded, "There are problems with his heartbeat and the sound of blood flowing, very similar to the 'Painted Skin' I met the day before yesterday. If there is no accident, he has also been 'replaced'."
