The Defeated Dragon

The storm was raging, and when the flower town was shaken by the wind and the sand and dust were flying, for a moment, the whole world suddenly calmed down.

Then, the bean-sized rain crackled at the top of the castle's spire, as if pouring down a basin of water, falling all over the floor.

In the kennel, a loud bark came from Shaksen.

In a room downstairs, Rufu is also screaming "Gasp” and “Gasp”.

Outside the castle, inside the castle, are two worlds.

Listening, Lester can hear the kitchen downstairs in the dining room, where the servants are chatting together - it's raining heavily and there's nothing to do but chat.

Mr. Carter's footsteps, wandering upstairs and downstairs, he's always wandering around, checking every part of the castle. Mrs. Morson, who checked the maid's cleaning and hygiene, met with Carter and seemed to have two conversations in which she evaluated the performance of the maid.

Two housekeepers, dedicated.

Fifteen servants, but not always so happy.

Thomas's attitude toward the boys was very bad, but he was a close servant of Lester's, very high status, and nobody dared to say anything more.

Not only does he often find the butlers, he sometimes says something cool, but sometimes he doesn't have that much respect for Carter.

Carter never figured out why Lester tolerated such a bad Thomas-Thomas disrupted the atmosphere of the castle servants in love with one another.

I can only say.

Carter and Lester are in different identities and look at the issue differently.

Carter tried to make the castle full of harmony and friendship.

But Lester didn't want that to happen —— if the servants were united, his master would feel uncomfortable. Imagine a servant making a mistake, because the relationship is too good, and all servants help to hide it. Don't you want to fool Lester as much as you want?

Without Thomas, the shitty stick, the servants would become more and more indulgent.

With Thomas watching, always looking for trouble, the servants would be afraid of their work.

The superiors always have to put a few hearts and minds in the lower organizations, that's the point, even school teachers know how to train a few students who are good at small reports.

There is no choice to eavesdrop on how servants chat.

Lester's expression was slightly more serious.

And I thought, “Is there really a ghost in this world? ”

When my predecessor was a little girl, she told me about ghosts in her bedtime story. Legend has it that it is the soul that exists after a person dies, detached from his body, unconscious, just wandering aimlessly.

Few people have really seen ghosts.

He scraped all the memories of his predecessor, and Coral Island had yet to hear who had experienced ghosts. A few of the more than a hundred Knight novels I've read recently have written ghosts, but most of them, like vampires, werewolves, and mine zombies, belong to the cold-door, less frequent dragon set.

When I used to look at it, laughing was over, and I didn't take it seriously.

The reason why he's recollecting ghosts now is because the smoke mission reminds him of ghosts.

“Task: Old and dilapidated wrecks, sunny by the sea wind, but fishermen passing them often feel cold on the back of their ridges, as if there was something in the wreck, staring at them to keep them from approaching, please find out why. Reward: A broken skeleton. ”

The wreck with five treasure chests, Lester, was not chopped to burn wood.

He felt that the wreck was barely considered a tourist attraction, placed in Oyster Tun, adding to the historical heritage of Oyster Tun. When are you going to have time to take care of the wreck?

I didn't expect this wreck to have any secrets.

“What will be in the wreck? Previously, when the patrol was looking for treasure, it had searched the entire ship inside and outside. There was nothing else except some cloth, grain residue and five chests… or something, but it was not easy to see? ”

He easily associates with ghosts, filthy things, wrecks, ghost ships, and eventually with legends like ghosts.

Thunderbolt!

A bright light flashed outside the castle, followed by a bursting thunderbolt.

The wind reappeared, accompanied by a loud drop of rain, separating the castle from everything outside.

Walk to the window, put down a covered plank, and look out at the rain screen, and Lester has a kind of world isolated Xiao Zo. It took me six months to suddenly come here alone, from the world of scientific and technological civilization to the world of magical struggle.

Can't say good or bad.

Back home, the standard of living is higher, but he's just a hard overtime dog.

Here, the standard of living is relatively poor, but he is a powerful nobleman, more resilient, more physically fit and unimpeded.

“In comparison, I prefer the life I have now and the images of the maid busy in front of me...” The corner of his mouth is smiling and he is not too tangled up.

Soon the mind returned to the smoke mission.

“If there is indeed a ghost in the wreck, it must be wiped out as soon as possible so as not to endanger the lives of fishermen… The mission rewards a broken skeleton, and what does that have to do with ghosts? ”

He wants to sink the ship now, find out why, complete the mission.

But it's raining too hard to get around.

We can only stay in the castle and wait boringly.

Yet first class.

Three days.

Heavy rainfall, which drowned the entire town with accumulated water, led to early repairs of wooden houses throughout the town and rain-fed patrols. No collapse of the wooden houses has yet been detected. Wormgrass is safe and sound, even the most vulnerable, because it remains intact when it is protected.

But after three days of heavy rain, two people died.

An old serf, out picking up his food, accidentally slipped and never climbed up again. The mother of the other three children, who went to the beach to collect shells in the rain, came back sick and died.

“The beach picks up shells? ”

Lister listened to Gaultai's debriefing and said, "Could it have anything to do with the wreck? ”

He immediately asked, "Mr. Gaultai, sick and dead women, have you examined the body, is there something wrong? ”

“Examining corpses, I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't examine corpses, I thought it was just a serf dying, something that happens very often. ”

Maybe Lister's too sensitive.

He nevertheless decided to examine the body of the sick woman himself: "To be sensitive, Mr. Gaultai, there has been a recent reaction from fishermen, and the wreck is problematic, as if something dirty existed. I suspect that the woman's death may have something to do with the wreck. ”

“The wreck?” Gaultai is unknown so.

He didn't hear anything like it, but Lester mentioned that he had to stand up - he believed Lester had a lot of eyes in Flower Town and nothing could escape Lester's attention.

“So, my lord, I'm going to arrange for you to examine the body together? ”

“Together. ”
