Chapter 111 The Son of the Fallen Evil God

Come on, Gu, you are very patient.

Hearing this threat, Lin Xiaodong's inner eyes almost rolled to the sky.

But the Holy Son still maintained a humble smile on the surface, and said slowly: "I believe, my God, you would not do such a thing."

"Why?" The Evil God lowered his eyes and asked.

"Because you are the god I believe in, not the bloodthirsty beast in the abyss," the white-haired young man picked up the cold and pale face of the evil god, gently placed a kiss on his thin dry lips, and watched The evil god's eyes are affectionate and swaying, "You have a heart that is more compassionate than anyone I have ever seen, a wise mind, and the most daunting divine might."

This series of rainbow farts smashed down, and the evil god's face immediately relieved a lot.

"I heard that you were a bard or a famous one before you were chosen as the Holy Son?" He looked at the white-haired youth with a half-smile, and suddenly a white bone appeared in his free hand. The harp made, "That's just right, the atmosphere here is good, just use this to play a tune for me."

Lin Xiaodong's body froze.

After all, although he can play the guitar, he can't harp!

"My God, I haven't practiced the piano for a long time," the white-haired young man pursed his lips, showing an embarrassed look, and lowered his head in a low voice, "I'm afraid I play the wrong tone and offend you..."

"No offense." The evil god raised the corners of his lips, as if he could see through his embarrassment, but there was a hint of exploration in his eyes.

It's still playable! ?

Lin Xiaodong had no choice but to ask the system for help: "Tong, can I exchange a harp skill?"

System: "Wait, I'll take a look first..."

But before the system finished speaking, the evil god suddenly straightened up, stared at him sharply and asked, "Who are you talking to?"

Lin Xiaodong was stunned.

Hell, can he really hear it!

The system was so frightened that it disconnected for a second, and it was estimated that it would not appear again for a while. Facing the evil god's piercing gaze, Lin Xiaodong had to bite the bullet and desperately tried to find an excuse to make up for it: "That, it, it's actually..."

"Captain, there is no one on the second floor!"

Fortunately, at this time, the voice of the Knights came from the entrance of the stairs next to him. The evil god made an unhappy "tsk", leaned down, bit his lower lip punitively, and pressed his thumb to the middle of the young man's collarbone, rubbing it deliberately. Pinch.

He stared at the holy son who was begging to himself, and at the last moment of the arrival of the knights, he finally let go of the other party mercifully, resealed the depraved breath of Lin Xiaodong, and left a sentence "I'll see you later" disappeared into the room.

Lin Xiaodong took a deep breath.

He wiped the cold sweat from his head, and was about to turn his head to look for them, when he saw a row of "bacon" grilled by fire on the wall behind him, and he almost slammed it over-

Good guy, it turns out that this is the "good atmosphere" that the unlucky god just said!

The sound he made in the house quickly attracted the attention of the knights. Ike was overjoyed after seeing the missing saint, but it was too late to be happy. He and the knights behind him were also shocked by the row of "bacon". Frightened, he took a half step back.

"One, two, three... ten, eleven."

"With the countess' bodies on the first floor, there are twelve," Captain Ike said solemnly. "There are thirteen people in the earl's family, so the one who escaped is Earl Lyle himself?"

This row of "bacon" is basically the body shape of teenagers, so it is understandable for him to make such a judgment.

"The Countess gave birth to eleven children?" Lin Xiaodong frowned, "This... Based on her age, it's unlikely, right?"

Unless it's triplets and quadruplets every time.

"Count Lyle is keen on charity. Except for his eldest son and three daughters, the rest are orphans he adopted." Ike explained.

"By the way, His Royal Highness," the man suddenly reacted halfway through, "Who were you just kidnapped by? Where's the culprit?"

He looked suspiciously at Lin Xiaodong's half-open collar. A conspicuous red mark fell on the middle of his collarbone. His hair was a little messy, and his lips were even torn... He thought that this was not like being The appearance of the evil spirit after the attack, it is more like a gangster who is jealous?

But Ike moved his lips, but he didn't dare to say the words.

"Don't worry, it's just a hungry beast," Lin Xiaodong coughed, quickly buttoned up, and explained dryly, "I used the dry food in my backpack to kill it, and it should have run far away by now."

Ike: "...Really?"

When he went upstairs, Ike keenly felt a strong, sticky maliciousness attacking him, almost blacking out the man's eyes. Therefore, he originally thought that there would be a big battle on the second floor, but he did not expect that the rumored aura of corruption would not be seen, but instead saw His Highness the Holy Son intact.

However, he really didn't see the whole picture of the black shadow clearly. Seeing Lin Xiaodong's assertive appearance, Ike could only suppress his doubts and believed this explanation for the time being.

After solving Lin Xiaodong's matter, Ike began to observe the cause of death of the deceased. But he is not a professional after all. After watching it for a long time, except that the time of their death is probably inconsistent, he has not found anything else.

Lin Xiaodong could see some ways, he pointed to one of the younger children and said, "His bones are not well developed, so he should be the child adopted by the earl, but Captain Ike, you can see that he wears a necklace around his neck. What is this wearing?"

Looking at the style, it looks a bit like the brand that the evil god made on his neck, but the brand has a sinister beauty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an ornament. This kind of thing similar to a dog chain is a bit insulting. people.

Ike took a closer look, his face sank and said: "This is the collar used by nobles to punish disobedient servants. It was abolished a long time ago, and now only a small number of slaves are still using it."

The Earl's adopted son is definitely not a slave, but whether it was the collar that the murderer put on him, or the original one... This point is worth pondering.

Lin Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and continued to observe while enduring his nausea. At this time, the system suddenly reminded him quickly: "The time of death of these people is at least three years apart."

three years?

He blinked, and the first thought that popped into his mind was-if one of these children died three years ago, why is there a constant population of thirteen people in the Earl's House?

This guess made Lin Xiaodong shudder.

He told Ike this matter heavily, and the black-haired man was surprised, obviously thinking of this too.

"So," his face twitched, thinking of the dirty things he had seen in the aristocratic circle, "Count Lyle, despite everyone's ridicule, insisted on moving from his home in the eastern district of the most prosperous capital to the western district, just because he wanted to To avoid people's eyes and ears?"

"Probably."

Ike made an angry voice from his nose: "Shameful! Despicable!"

He asked the knights under him to restrain the corpses and began to conduct further searches on the second floor.

But the fire burned all traces, not to mention the evidence. During the search, a knight accidentally stepped on the floor and fell directly from the second floor.

But fortunately, the sofa in the living room was below, which just caught him.

"Captain, there is a secret passage here!" The knight struggled to get up from the ruins. The first thing he did was not to check if he was injured, but to stare at the big hole he accidentally knocked out and shouted in surprise. .

The two on the second floor froze at the same time.

"Secret passage? Where is it?" Ike ran downstairs without hesitation, followed by Lin Xiaodong.

How could he forget that the nobles of this world like to build these secret rooms in their mansions to be prepared, and Earl Lyle also claims to like "cockfighting", but no one has ever seen a chicken feather in their home... ...must be because he built a secret room like this at home too!

The entrance to the dark passage was dark and dirty, and a magic circle was drawn with some unknown paint, presumably to prevent anyone who wanted to investigate. But because of the fire, this magic circle basically doesn't work anymore.

Ike didn't want to let Lin Xiaodong go, but Lin Xiaodong thought that he had an extra layer of protection. In case of an accident, it was impossible for the evil god to come to save him, so he insisted on going with him.

After some debate, Ike, who is not articulate, can only compromise again.

He started by himself, and then selected two knights to protect the Holy Son, while Lin Xiaodong in the middle was responsible for lighting the road with magic lights.

The dark passage was narrow and clogged, and the air was still filled with a strong smell of coke. Lin Xiaodong covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, not noticing that the knight behind him was looking at him with complicated eyes.

In his opinion, doing everything by yourself is the basic professional ethics; however, in the eyes of the knights of this era, the Holy Son, with such a noble identity, is still willing to follow them on the mountain and down the sea of ​​​​fire and take risks personally, that is very incredible. thing.

After he was taken away just now, the evil god's actions almost instantly ignited the anger of the entire knights - dare to attack the Holy Son in front of them, and live impatiently! ?

What's more, Captain Ike repeatedly instructed them long before his arrival that they must protect His Highness the Son of God, even at the cost of his own life. Although they had to sacrifice their lives when escorting the great nobles, one active and one passive gave the knights a completely different feeling.

For such a kind and compassionate Son, in times of crisis, they are willing to sacrifice their loyalty, even their lives, without hesitation.

Suddenly, Captain Ike, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand.

Several people stopped in an instant, and the rapid breathing intensified the spread of tension in the narrow passage. Lin Xiaodong asked in a very soft voice: "What happened ahead?"

The knights behind also held their breaths, waiting for the captain's response.

"There's someone ahead." Captain Ike paused before answering in a hoarse voice.
