014 Old Master's Baby

When the sun sank and the silver-like full moon rose, the pile of wood was ignited again. When the fire started, the guards opened the small door that had been closed for a day and came out of the house with long fire sticks to control the fire little by little.

The wolves lay low and howled hard in the dark, but like the first night, they still only dared to wander outside the fire and dared not approach at all.

"Drow the fire densely, be careful of the scorpion spider!" Bock was still fiddling with the fire in the guardhouse under the command of the roof.

The little poisonous insects who were hiding in the grass and gravel actually climbed out tonight. Probably too many beasts in the yard have disturbed their rest. This group of black animals actually aimed their targets at the stone castle with many gaps.

The hot fire has become the best line of defense against all beast insects. So far, no beast or insect has dared to cross over.

"These little things are the most troublesome. Although they are blocked by fire, sometimes they are still thrown around by wild animals." Bock has sent a lot of nurses down. They all took farm tools such as shovels as weapons, and as soon as there were poisonous insects thrown in, they immediately went to beat them to death.

Obviously, the beasts outside are not used to stay with the poisonous insects. From time to time, some beasts moan and jump out. They must have stepped on some poisonous insects and been stinged.

Some poisonous insects will climb on the anxious beast and be thrown up by the irritable beast. Unlucky, they will fall directly into the fire and be burned and fragrant; some will miraculously cross the fire, but they will soon be photographed into meat cakes by the nurses.

Agui turned around for a while and found nothing new, so he could only go back to the second floor to chat with the resting guards.

"I remember once when several mercenaries came. Several of them had shields and swords. Several people cooperated like a hard fortress. These beasts were surrounded and smashed for a long time, but they not only did not repel the mercenaries, but were also slaughtered several times by the mercenaries. Unfortunately, they didn't notice the situation under their feet. Several people's legs and feet were bitten by these bugs, and finally they had to support each other and push them back.

"That time, it was the doctor hired by the viscount who helped them relieve their poison, or those guys may not be able to survive."

"No, the scorpions in this yard are black and fat, and the venom is sufficient as if it can poison an adult deer with a needle!"

"Drop it down, that gadget is not so poisonous," a nursing home that had fallen and rested was woken up by everyone's gossip, and also expressed his opinion: "I think that scorpion can poison a sheep at most."

As everyone's information became more and more, Agui once again understood the helplessness of the mercenaries who had undertaken this task before.

A mercenary regiment took No. 20 or 30 to kill several black bears and disperse the herd, but after a few months, the beast still ran carelessly to make trouble, so the mercenary regiment spent nearly a year with the beasts in the manor, and finally thought that the viscount's hundred or so gold coins could not be obtained and left sadly.

You can't tie the mercenary regiment in this lonely mountain nest for this little gold coin. However, I heard that this mercenary regiment made a small profit just by hunting animal skins.

There were also mercenary regiments poisoning the manor, which made the body stink for several months, but the beasts didn't care, and a new batch still came a few months later.

Some smarter mercenaries searched the whole castle several times, but unfortunately they could not find a specific reason to completely solve the problem of the beast.

The most unlucky are the small mercenary regiments that came to try their luck. They are not strong enough but have to learn to fight against beasts. As a result, they hurt many people with their arms and broken legs. For this reason, the Viscount also generously subsidized some gold coins.

As Bock said, as long as you don't go out, these beasts are not terrible.

Even if there are roaring beasts outside, the days still become slow and boring. The guards are divided into several classes under the management of Bock. During the day, everyone rests in the yard or sleeps for the night vigil. Or they can run to the wall to sort out the ashes outside the wall, and pile up wood for the night. The bonfire.

At night, there were two shifts guarding the fire outside the wall, and Bock was like a fighting general, working under the top of the night.

As for what the ghosts do, the guards don't care much. A little mercenary can't play a role in front of this group of beasts. What's more, there are no mercenaries. The guardians composed of these farmers have been very skilled in low-level beasts and guarding the viscount' castle.

The ghost went to the room on the second floor several times. Finally, he didn't really break the door lock because of politeness, but the ghost was sure that the key to solving this S-level task must be in this locked room.

The beasts also seemed to feel that such days were boring. Gradually, the beasts in the garden began to leave. By the morning of the fifth day, there were no animals running. In addition to the poop and feces of beasts everywhere, the whole manor became empty. Bock and they also relaxed. Those scorpions The spiders climbed back to the grass again, and the whole event ended suddenly as if it hadn't happened.

After saying hello, Agui and Boke walked back to the city by their own way, while the guards had to rest for two days, and then went to the woods to cut firewood to prepare for the next beast invasion.

With the first experience, the ghost successfully entered the viscount's mansion to meet Viscount Ferrisgart.

"Have you seen an invasion? Can you complete this task?" The viscount sat at the table and drank tea leisurely, but the irritation between his eyebrows showed his disgust with this matter.

"I have some ideas, but I need you to help me open a door."

Door? The door on the second floor? Mercenaries have also checked all the rooms in the castle before, so they were not surprised by the request of the ghost.

"Yes, there is a room on the second floor. I need to go in and have a look."

The viscount nodded and called the old housekeeper, and then took a bunch of big copper keys and gave them to him: "This is all the keys on the second floor. You follow Mr. Ghost to the manor and help him open the door."

That afternoon, the old housekeeper and the ghost rushed to the manor together in the carriage that Jack sent supplies. As long as they survived the invasion of the beast, the manor was still safe at other times.

"This is the room!" The ghost took the old housekeeper and stood at the door of the room that the rabbit wanted to enter. The guards did not come up on the first floor. They were surrounded by the Bock brothers with oil lamps.

"This is the master's room," the old housekeeper said, slowly looking for the pile of keys, and finally took out an ordinary key to open the door of the room.

There is not much furniture in the house, a large bed, a large desk, two large bookcases, and then worn-out weapons and armor full of walls.

The Viscount said that his grandfather especially likes to collect antique weapons. You can guess when you see the decorations in this room that this old gentleman must have been a historical war fan when he was alive.

Agui stood in the middle of the room and slowly looked at the decorations in the room by one through the dim yellow light. The furniture was made of relatively expensive wood. Although it was a little old, there was nothing special. Although the various weapons and antiques hanging on the wall were still intact, they were all in the light because of the age. The vicissitudes are old, and they are all outdated old guys, and the greatest value is to put them back to the furnace.

The old housekeeper was obviously not interested in this room. At first, the two brothers Bock and Jack were attracted by the antiques in the room, but they also lost interest in these old things after looking at them for a while. Finally, in addition to the ghost, they were still thinking hard in the room. The three people had stood together and chatted.

"These were collected by the master before his death. He said that these are all history, and everyone has his own story behind him." The old housekeeper served the old viscount, so he knew something about him: "When the old man was old and couldn't walk, he stayed in his room and looked at these things every day. Look at these weapons. This piece was wiped by the master himself."
