glorious fall

Sandra lived for several days, and neither saw the "Master" in the mouth of the bearded man, nor her cavaliers and standing army. She wanted to go out, but she was stopped by the guards when she reached the door. Going to find the bearded man, but the other party always made excuses to shirk. Sandra realized that the other party was planning to imprison him secretly. Maybe some of her actions hindered the other party, so she was imprisoned.

Then who is it, who has a certain number of people, strong information collection capabilities, and the ability to hide his own information enough?

Also, if his guess is correct, what exactly does the other party want to do?

After thinking about it, and deducing all the guesses one by one, Sandra still didn't come to a conclusion. The attendant who delivered the meal just came in and put the dinner on the table. When she was about to leave, Sandra asked sharply. Said: "Why only potatoes?"

The little attendant was startled, and subconsciously replied: "My lord, because there are only potatoes left today, and the people who went to buy said that the city is under martial law and you can't enter..." After he finished speaking, he realized that he had talked too much , saluted, and hurriedly wanted to back out, but Sandra grabbed her sleeve, and then strangled the other party's neck. On her right hand was a small table knife hidden at some time, which was pressed against the attendant's neck. He whispered threateningly, "Don't scream, or you will die here immediately." The attendant nodded again and again, and then he asked, "Where is this place, and how far is it from Winter District?"

The attendant did not dare to struggle, and replied: "Yes, sir, this is the Winter District, but it is not on your tour route, it is the outskirts of a small and remote city, this city is called Keller City, from here to the big city of the Winter District It takes more than a day to ride a horse in Lough City, and Lord Shaku added a drug that makes you feel insensitive to each meal at that time, which will make you make mistakes in judgment, so he took this opportunity to bring you here."

In other words, when he didn't realize it, he just felt tired and a little sleepy in the carriage, and he had been taken so far away from the tour route?

Sandra frowned, and asked again: "The bearded man who brought me is called Shaku? What does he do for your master? Also, who is your master?"

The attendant waved his hands again and again, his movements became a little excited, and asked Sandra to squeeze the knife on his neck. The attendant dared not move any more, and replied honestly: "Master Shaku is indeed the person you said. As for what he did, I just A servant, I don’t know, only know that he is the captain of the master’s guard on the surface, and the master, the master is an earl, but he prefers to do business, and he is very famous in the province of Florida.”

"Province of Florida?" Sandra repeated his words, with a fluctuating expression on her face, and asked again, "Which family does your master belong to?"

The attendant thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, I'm just a homeless man that the master collected on the road, but I heard others call him the treasury earl who can move, because the master is very rich."

A treasury that moves?Sandra was puzzled. Also, this master is really strange. He has clearly claimed the title of earl, but let others call him master...

While thinking about it, she only heard the servant in her hand grunting. Sandra looked down and saw that his neck had been cut and blood was oozing out.

The attendant panted nervously and frightened: "My lord, can you let me go?"

Sandra looked at his bleeding wound, her eyes changed, as if she had made up her mind, she took a breath and whispered in the attendant's ear, "Sorry."

Before the attendant could react, Sandra covered his mouth and slashed down on his neck with the table knife. The attendant struggled desperately a few times, making a "ho ho" sound like a leak , The blood gushing out of the neck was splashed everywhere, Sandra's hands and shoulders were also stained.

Putting down the attendant who was no longer struggling, Sandra took off his shoes and put them on his feet, moved another chair to the window, stood on it, stepped on the window sill a few times, and grabbed the window curtain again, The blood on his hand wiped the curtain, so he cleaned up the chair, moved it back to the original place, and put the shoes on for the attendant. Looking at the attendant who had struggled a lot before death and had a grim expression, he sighed and said: "In the future, if I'm dead, you can come and see for yourself how I went to hell."

He picked up the small table knife in his hand, gritted his teeth and cut a wound on his left arm, and immediately blood gushed out. After enduring the pain, he wiped the table knife and put it back to the hiding place. When he returned to the living room, he suddenly After a moment, his eyes became fierce, and he stretched out one hand, overturned the dining table, kicked down several chairs, and then fell to the ground.

The two guards at the door rushed in when they heard the sound, and saw Sandra lying on the ground, clutching her left arm with a painful expression, and the servant who had gone in to deliver the food before had fallen into a pool of blood, dying horribly. .

"My lord," the two guards went up to support Sandra and asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened just now?"

Sandra clutched her injured arm, pointed at the window with trembling hands in shock, and said with unsteady breath: "That, that person, jumped out of the window, hurry up, chase after him!"

A guard ran to the window and looked at the footprints on the window. Because it had been raining for the past few days, the shoes were covered with mud, and now the mud was sticky, so he couldn't tell how big the shoes were. He turned his head and saw the muslin curtain. There were traces of pulling, and blood was stained on it, so he immediately made a judgment, and said to his companion: "You are here to protect the lord, I will go to the priest of medicine and report to lord Shaku."

The companion nodded, helped Sandra into the bedroom, and asked, "My lord, how did he die?"

He refers to the servant in the living room.

Sandra seemed to have recovered from her shock, her voice choked with sobs, "I wanted him to stay for a while and chat with me, and he served me a meal, and when I was asking him if my knight was here, A man with a sackcloth on his face suddenly rushed out from the partition of the living room, holding a dagger in his hand towards me, he stood in front of me, who knew that the man grabbed him and scratched his neck He was about to kill me again with a knife, I tried my best to avoid it, he overturned the table, when the dagger came, I blocked it with my hand, the sound of overturning the table was too loud, I watched him go out of the window." After finishing speaking, he also Shrinking back with fear on his face.

The pharmacology priest arrived soon, and the guards stepped back to report the incident to Shaku.

"The man covered with sackcloth?" Shaku frowned and thought for a long time, then asked after a moment of pondering, "What else?"

The guard replied: "Lord Demon seemed to be frightened. He was shaking just now. No matter how the priest comforted him, he still held his head, shaking like a dandelion blown by the wind."

Shaku snorted and said, "What else can you expect from him? After all, he sat in this position because of some shady relationships. What storms did he go through? It's already considered that he didn't cry out because of suffering when he was preaching in Manten District some time ago." Alright. It’s lucky not to scare him half to death in such a scene of murder and bloodshed, if the master didn’t want to use him for something, hmph, this kid would still be alive?”

The guards echoed again and again, until Shaku laughed happily.

This murder ended with the killing of an attendant, and Sandra was injured and frightened. It also led to Shaku's impression of Sandra as weak and incompetent and as timid as a rabbit. After being attacked, Shaku determined that the attacker was the person or accomplice who wanted to kidnap Sandra that night, and while adding manpower to protect Sandra, he sent people to investigate and planned to kill the opponent.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Sandra also pretended to be obedient, showing the fear and fear after being frightened to death, and tried to keep the priest in her residence several times to calm her fear. Someone must be there when sleeping and eating Follow, otherwise you will start to cry and make a lot of noise. Shaku has a look of contempt for this, thinking that Sandra was just trying to calm down when she woke up after taking him into the carriage. Man is born unbalanced and contemptuous.

The days passed like this. Under the circumstances that Shaku deliberately concealed the news, Pfister and Schlott failed to find any news about Sandra for a whole month. They were almost insane, and the entire Leman province was under martial law Especially in Winter District, Schlott sent people to send letters to the Palace of Tifan Katrine and the Marquess of Winfrey, and at the same time met with the Bishop of Winter District and the Bishop of Rough City, hoping that they can drive other Bishops of Winter District, and still deal with it as usual affairs, appease the lay people, and help find Sandra.

However, at such a time when people are not making decisions, another event that shocked the whole country happened.

In the southern province of Piedrius, after Archbishop Demur just finished his lecture tour, lay believers in a relatively impoverished diocese learned that the taxation news of other provinces from the horse racing caravans did not match the actual situation in this province, and they Because the corpses of the starving people were not handled properly, many people died of diseases. The lay believers could not afford to hire a medical priest, so the local bishop personally held a witchcraft ceremony to pray for blessings and cure diseases, but it was useless. The lay believers couldn't bear it anymore, and finally Exploding in silence and hunger, he declared that he would no longer believe in God. Not only that, he also assembled an army to capture the local Holy See, imprisoned the clergy including the bishop, and prepared to continue recruiting troops. Take other places.

For a while, people all over the country were in panic, wondering if tomorrow would still be the same day as today.
