"Does the Poseidon Church have the right to take away Castle Black's information?" Leo heard the words of the castle steward and suddenly had doubts in his heart and asked.

"Under normal circumstances, it is not possible." The castle steward explained calmly: "However, the main chapel of Poseidon Church and Castle Black were built at the same time, and the builders were also the same people. The construction materials of the two buildings were also mixed together.

.In the past, when Castle Black was renovating, it also asked the Poseidon Church for the materials at that time, so this time the Poseidon Church just got back the materials that were borrowed that year."

Although the reason was sufficient, Leo always felt a little weird, and asked again: "Have you made a new copy of that information?"

"No." The castle steward answered truthfully: "Because that document is too old, and the language used is Kubu Ke script, and it is also handwritten. Unless you are an expert in Kubu Ke script, it will be difficult to copy it accurately.

One copy. In addition, the content of that document is the basic architectural part of Black Castle and the main altar. After several renovations of Black Castle, the main building has been somewhat changed. The reference value of that document is not great, so I did not copy it.

share."

Leo was silent for a moment and said, "You can go down now. I want to read the information here alone."

The castle steward saluted Leo and said, "I will arrange for someone to wait at the door. If you need anything, you can ask him to do it."

After saying that, he walked out.

When the castle steward walked to the door, Leo suddenly asked: "Are you a believer of Poseidon Church?"

The castle steward stopped, looked back at Leo, and nodded: "Yes, sir. I am a believer of the Poseidon Church. Not only me, almost everyone in the castle is a believer of the Poseidon Church. In Lan

Doyle, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to find a non-Poseidon Church believer.”

Leo said nothing more. The castle butler waited for a moment. Seeing that Leo didn't ask any more questions, he walked out of the library and closed the door.

In fact, before Leo asked just now, he already knew that most of the people in Castle Black were believers of the Church of Poseidon, and the castle steward was also a devout believer of the Church of Poseidon. This matter happened when Sylvia obtained Castle Black.

It has been clearly investigated, and everyone has even undergone a loyalty test, and such tests will be conducted regularly to ensure that everyone in the castle is loyal.

His inquiry just now was just to find out whether the castle butler was hiding something because of the Poseidon Church regarding the earliest original construction data of Castle Black. And through the physiological details such as the other party's heartbeat, Leo could be sure that the castle butler was definitely

There are some things hidden, but in the butler's consciousness, these things should not betray his loyalty to Sylvia, the master of Castle Black.

Although he discovered a suspicious point, Leo had no intention of forcing the castle steward to find out what he had hidden, because in his opinion, the castle steward probably didn't know the use of the things he had concealed. Everything had to be learned from Poseidon.

Start with the materials that the church took away.

After Leo had a plan in mind, he turned his attention to the materials left by the castle stewards of the past generations that are now preserved in the library. Although these materials are of little use in the eyes of the Poseidon Church, in Leo's eyes,

This information may have a greater effect on him.

Although there is a lot of information in the library, with Leo's browsing speed, he had already read through all the information before dinner arrived and recorded it in the brain database for more detailed sorting and processing at night.

analyze.

"Have you gained anything?" Back to Sylvia's study, Sylvia had finished processing the accumulated official documents and was playing with Little Tolan and Aileen. When she saw Leo coming in from the outside, she signaled

The other people in the room retreated and then asked.

Leo briefly explained what he discovered about the castle steward.

Sylvia was silent for a moment and said with great certainty: "There should be no problem with the housekeeper. He is loyal. However, the things you mentioned are indeed questionable. How are you going to investigate?"

Leo thought for a while and said: "In two days, I will go to the city for a walk to learn about the situation of Poseidon Church here and see if there is a chance to enter Poseidon Church to get the information and take a look."

Sylvia thought for a while, nodded in agreement with Leo's decision, then sighed again and said: "It would be great if I had not resigned from my position as the judge of the Orthodox Tribunal, so that I could call some information from the Orthodox Tribunal.

Let’s take a look. For such an important building as the main chapel of a church holy place, there must be backup stubs of construction data in the Orthodox Church.”

Leo shook his head and said, "It's not necessary! Since we know there is something wrong with this castle, we will always find out if we investigate the castle carefully."

After that, the two did not discuss the matter anymore, but played with their children and ate together like an ordinary couple.

After nightfall, Sylvia took care of the two little ones and slept in the master bedroom, while Leo went to another room only separated by a door. He lay on the bed as if sleeping, but in fact he was racing in his mind.

Analyze and organize the data recorded during the day.

Although the stewards of Castle Black have the traditional responsibility of recording all kinds of things that happen in the castle, they do not record everything. After all, if they really record everything, then their family cannot always record it.

He took on the role of housekeeper in the castle.

Most of the things recorded in the castle steward's diary are just daily things that happened in the castle and some major events. For example, a French emperor was born in the castle, and the castle was once besieged by a large bandit force.

etc.

Although the castle butlers will try their best to avoid touching the privacy of the castle owner when writing diaries, their habit of recording things around them still makes them unconsciously mention it in some short words while consciously avoiding some things.

Those things.

After analysis, Leo easily found a large number of private contents related to the owner of the castle at that time in these diaries, and most of these contents were related to the romantic affairs of the owner of the castle.

However, these romantic stories are not worthless, because some of these romantic stories will be related to some legends in the castle, and even the origins of some legends, and these seemingly absurd legends often hide some useful information.

.

Through repeated analysis and screening, Leo finally filtered out most of the contents in these diaries, retaining only a small amount of content that seemed scattered and had no connection.

After Leo's analysis, he found that on the surface, the contents he preserved had no connection with each other. They were all independent fragmentary records. However, in fact, these fragments completely revolved around two seemingly worthless records.

The thing we pay attention to is the subsequent development and extension of the two things. If the two things are integrated, we can discover some hidden secrets about this castle.

Among the two incidents, one was the Big Fish Festival Death Row incident. This incident was considered a big event in Randall, but because it involved the French royal family who controlled the castle at the time, this incident was not spread to the outside world.

not many.

However, this incident was recorded by the castle steward at the time, and was not restricted. This was one of the few events that was completely recorded in the steward's notes.

As the name suggests, this incident took place during a Big Fish Festival in Randall. The Big Fish Festival is one of the most important festivals for the residents of the fishing village in the southern seaport of Velen continent. It is equivalent to the harvest season in other towns and is held on the last day of every year.

After the fishing boats return to port, the next day is the Big Fish Festival. The fleets that have harvested something during the festival will take out their best catches and offer them to the God of the Sea. After that, the whole city will fall into a four-day period.

After the carnival, the boats will be sealed and ocean fishing will be completely stopped this year.

This is also a very important festival for the Poseidon Church. They not only send out their own clergy and priests, but also lobby the city government to release some prisoners who have committed less serious crimes to show Poseidon's tolerance.

However, during the Big Fish Festival recorded by the castle butler, a big accident occurred. A death row inmate who had committed a serious crime and would be executed in half a month bribed the city government staff responsible for releasing criminals and committed his crime.

His name was added to the release list, and as a result, this heinous death row prisoner was released on the Big Fish Festival.

Originally, it would have been okay for the death row prisoner to escape directly after being released, so that he would not be recorded by the butler. However, he did not know what was going on in his mind. After escaping, he gathered his men and took advantage of Castle Black.

People participated in the Big Fish Festival, relaxed their defenses, and sneaked into the main castle through unknown secret passages. They killed the soldiers guarding the main castle and kidnapped a royal prince who was on vacation in the main castle.

At that time, the guards of the outer castle and the inner castle realized that they had been attacked. They immediately blocked all entrances and exits, and while sending people to negotiate, they went to the city government and the Poseidon Church to find people. Soon the city government was surprised and

All the paladins from Poseidon Church rushed over.

After discussion, they planned to sneak into the main castle through two other secret passages, first rescue the prince, and then deal with the desperadoes.

However, what people never expected was that when they sneaked into the main castle, they found that there was no one in the main castle. Not only the desperadoes disappeared, but also the kidnapped prince and the kidnapped castle steward.

, servants, etc. all disappeared.

At that time, some people speculated that the desperadoes led by the death row prisoner should also know a secret passage out of the castle, so when they saw that they were besieged outside and could not break out, they suppressed the hostages and left through the secret passage.

But this guess was refuted at the time, because too many people disappeared. Not counting the desperadoes, there were more than 300 servants working in the main castle at that time, and the general secret passage could only accommodate one person at most.

Walking, there was simply not enough time for everyone to leave the secret passage.

Even when Castle Black was built, a very spacious secret passage was built, which was enough for hundreds of people to enter and leave at the same time. However, there was no need for those desperadoes to take away the castle's housekeepers, servants and other people who had no kidnapping value. They just took them away.

Just take the Imperial Prince route.

Therefore, the speculation of leaving through the secret passage was quickly denied, and it was later proven that this guess was wrong, because none of the desperadoes, the kidnapped imperial princes, and the servants of the castle appeared again, not even the corpses.

No.

This incident also became a sensational unsolved case at the time. The whereabouts of the outlaw and the prince became a mystery. As for the castle servants who also disappeared, no one cared.

The subsequent steward of the castle also recorded this incident in detail in his diary.

But the matter did not end there. Later, the servants working in the main castle all unanimously said that they saw people moving around in the main castle at night. Some people recognized these people as the servants who had disappeared before, and some even saw them.

The desperadoes who kidnapped the prince and others.

It's just that after they saw these disappearing people, they wanted to step forward to catch these people, but these people who were clearly not far ahead just disappeared in their eyes. For a while, the ghost of Castle Black became Randall

One of the urban legends.

What's even more interesting is that many people saw the disappeared people in the castle, but among the disappeared people, only the death row prisoner who caused the accident and the kidnapped prince did not appear, so some people said that

The death row inmate and the prince are actually still alive.

According to the records of the castle steward, the ghosts in Castle Black only lasted for more than thirty years and then stopped. After that, no one saw any ghosts in the castle again.

Judging from these written records, except for the ghost of the Black Castle, which seems to be related to extraordinary power, everything else has nothing to do with extraordinary power from beginning to end. However, Leo feels that this incident may have something to do with Wanghai Cliff.

It was related to hidden secrets, because this incident reminded him of another similar record he had seen, an accident that occurred in the Earth Federation.

Leo was once assigned to assist a recovery unit in a strange galaxy to recover a lost spaceship. On the way, he found information related to the spacecraft and formulated a recovery plan. In the information about the spacecraft,

It is mentioned that the accident of missing the spacecraft was due to the mysterious disappearance of the crew.

This mysterious disappearance is not that all the crew disappeared on one day, but that the crew disappeared on one second. One second, the liaison officer of the spacecraft was still conducting a normal mission report with the people at the headquarters. The next second, the loudspeaker

There was no sound. At the same time, the headquarters' intelligent master contacted the spacecraft's control system to retrieve data and found that the entire spacecraft disappeared at the same time in less than a second.

This situation is just like what happened in Castle Black at that time. One minute, they were discussing with the desperadoes, and the next second, when the rescue team led by the Paladin rushed into the main castle, everyone disappeared.
