163 The dead(1/2)

Rudy already knew when he was in Lake Town that the Hal sect's arrangement there was just the beginning, or it was an attack in the east and in the west.

If everything goes well according to their original plan.

The Greentown Knights' attention has been drawn to Lake Town.

Next, the Hal sect will proceed with its next plan in a logical manner.

Although Rudy didn't know what they wanted to do next, he could imagine that their real goal must be in Glinton City, otherwise there would be no need to do everything possible to get the Knights' attention to the remote Lake Town.

However, the Har sect probably would not have thought of their plan, and they encountered a major setback in the first step.

Not only did the sheriff who broke into Lake Town die, but even the large number of believers sent to perform the mission were wiped out. Most importantly, the great elder Sagalon was not spared either. This is the most serious threat to the Hal sect.

loss.

Even so, the Hal sect will not give up their goals easily.

It is conceivable that during this period, although the Hal sect has died down, it must have been secretly remobilizing its manpower and adjusting its original plan.

As for Audrey's sudden disappearance, Rudy estimated that it was most likely related to this.

It's just that this time the Haral sect's actions were extremely secretive.

After experiencing the setback in Lake Town, these fanatical guys are obviously more cautious.

Unfortunately, Rudy's intelligence ability is not strong, and the Knights did not find any clues.

In this case, trying to find Audrey is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no way to even start.

But Rudy himself was not particularly enthusiastic about this matter.

If Audrey is still alive, she will show up sooner or later. If she is dead, Rudy will be worthy of her sister by taking good care of Arsha.

Although Alsha didn't say anything when she came, Rudy could guess that Audrey must have said that if anything happened to her, she would ask Alsha to come and seek refuge with Rudy.

Otherwise, given Arsa's character, even if she had some strange feelings for Rudy in her heart, she would not come directly to look for him the day after Audrey disappeared.

In the next few days, Alsha stayed at Rudy's villa. Although it was obvious that she was still worried, she did not blindly urge Rudy.

Compared to Arsha's understanding, Rudy is a bit unkind.

Although he also asked Judy to pay attention to the information about Audrey from the Knights, he personally did not leave any stone unturned to find it, but still enjoyed his daily work routine in the office.

It's not that Rudy didn't intend to help. In fact, the day after Alsha arrived, Rudy went to their sisters' residence.

It's not too far from the community where Burning Bach used to hide. It only takes five minutes to walk to a four-story apartment building.

Audrey and Arsa lived on the first floor, and there was a beautiful little courtyard.

It can be seen that this small courtyard is probably Arsa's masterpiece.

The house was neat and tidy, without any signs of being disturbed, and there were no hidden compartments or safes.

Rudy's only gain was a ledger found in the desk in the master bedroom.

It records the flow of Audrey's intelligence business over the past year.

Rudy browsed through it briefly and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He didn't expect this female intelligence dealer to be so rich!

According to this account book, Audrey earned nearly 10,000 gold pounds in less than a year and a half just from information transactions.

In addition, Rudy also found a real estate deed in the cabinet.

It turned out to be a villa located in the capital of the Kingdom of Thorne, covering an area of ​​nearly one acre, with a house area of ​​more than 400 square meters. It was located within the old city wall. The location was quite good, and the price was naturally quite astonishing.

If the condition of the house is not too bad, this villa alone is worth at least 50,000 gold pounds.

Moreover, on this property deed, the owner is not Audrey but Alsha's name.

Rudy was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this little girl Arsa was actually a rich woman with a house in the capital!

Unfortunately, there are no clues about Audrey's whereabouts other than the house.

Even Rudy extended his vision and searched within 1 kilometer, but found nothing.

Originally, Rudy still had some illusions. If someone was secretly monitoring the sisters' residence, they would be able to find some clues.

However, the so-called surveillance does not exist at all.

In this case, Rudy could only choose to wait and see.

If Audrey is really involved in the Hal sect's next move, I believe it won't be long before new clues emerge.

After all, people from the Har sect are not very patient.

However, Rudy did not wait for the news from the Hal sect, but instead received a summons from the leader Omasil.

In the office, Captain Omasil was still the same. He saw Rudy come in and asked him to sit down. After some pleasantries, he got to the point and asked, "Are you familiar with Ms. Eve from Oak Manor?"

Rudy was stunned for a moment, looked at the other person in confusion, and replied: "Well, I guess that doesn't count. I've only met that lady twice."

Captain Omasir smiled: "That's strange. I thought she knew you very well! She asked you to come over by name."

"Sir, what happened?" Rudy asked cautiously.

Because it involves Oak Manor and Ms. Eve, Rudy is extra cautious.

Captain Omasil said: "Something did happen. A person died at the Oak Manor. According to the signs on the scene, it seems to be related to extraordinary power. Ms. Eve hopes that you will go and investigate in person."

Rudy frowned. Generally speaking, this kind of matter is handled by whichever team catches up.

Of course, there are situations like this. The identity of the victim is quite special, and there are trustworthy acquaintances in the knights. It is not impossible to ask someone to go by name.

But Rudy was not very familiar with this Ms. Eve, but the other party only named him.

This made Rudy's heart move, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that the Hal sect can no longer bear it and is ready to take action?"

The second time I came to Oak Manor, there was no hustle and bustle like the last banquet.

Under the golden sunlight, the main building of the manor and the tall oak trees behind it have a special sense of magnificence.

The carriage drove directly to the porch of the main building, and Rudy and Judy got out of the carriage.

A well-dressed middle-aged butler was already waiting here. When he saw Rudy, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Hello, Mr. Chester, I am Housekeeper Housen. I am very sorry, because someone died and the master was frightened. Last night

So I went to the city, and this time I will be responsible for receiving you."

Rudy nodded slightly, but the absence of Ms. Eve made him even more vigilant. On the surface, he said calmly: "I'll trouble you, Butler Hausen."

"My lord, you're welcome." Housekeeper Hausen said politely, then turned around and led the way.

Rudy and Judy followed.

Although it was only for a moment, Rudy still caught a hint of disdain in the other person's eyes.

On the surface, Butler Housen is a servant, but Rudy is a hereditary aristocrat with upright roots. Such a status comparison can also give Butler Housen a sense of psychological superiority, which makes it worth playing.

Obviously, the identity of this Housekeeper is not simple. At least in his heart, he does not take Rudy, the little baron, seriously.

Next, under the guidance of the Housekeeper, Rudy and Judy came to a room on the north side of the second floor of the main building of the manor.

This is a row of guest rooms, with a total of 8 suites connected to it. It is a place for visitors to the manor who are not of high status to stay.

After all, people are divided into three, six or nine grades everywhere. Even if those who can enter Oak Manor are decent people, they are unlikely to receive the same treatment.

Housekeeper Hausen pushed open Room 202, showed the situation inside the room, and said: "This place has not been moved since the discovery of the dead person, and no one has entered."

Rudy nodded slightly, passed Butler Housen, and walked into this room.

Although it is a relatively low-end guest room, it is only compared to the standards of Oak Manor.

This room is quite well equipped for ordinary people and even nobles.

Separate bathroom, wardrobe, large bed, floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant sheets and velvet quilt...

And right in the middle of the big solid wood bed, a naked man with protruding eyes and a frightened expression lay dead there.

Rudy took a quick glance and saw that the deceased had no obvious external injuries, and there were no signs of damage to the remaining magic core in the body.

It is certain that this person is not an extraordinary person. Logically speaking, this kind of case should be handled by the patrol team in the nearby jurisdiction, and it is not the Knights' turn to come forward at all.

It was only because the owner of Oak Manor had a special status that he bypassed the patrol and alerted the knights directly.

However, after seeing the deceased, there was something that puzzled Rudy.

When he first saw the man who died in Oak Manor, he always had a feeling of déjà vu.

"Where have you seen this man?" Rudy thought hard, and finally remembered that this man's facial features were 70-80% similar to the Sheriff Eric of Laigu Town.

In fact, they should look more alike. Not so. The deceased was much fatter than Eric, and his facial features and face shape were widened.

Otherwise, Rudy wouldn't have taken so long to remember.

"Is this man Eric's brother?" Rudy was suspicious, thinking that the Sheriff of Lake Town, the man named Eric, was a hybrid werewolf.

If the deceased was related by blood to Eric, there is no doubt that he was also a hybrid werewolf.

really!

Just after Rudy discovered the doubt, he carefully looked through the physiological structure of the corpse, and soon discovered that it was different from ordinary people, which made him more and more certain that the person in front of him was not a real human being.

However, if he is really a werewolf, then where is the magic core in his body?

Moreover, after death, werewolves will show their true colors.
To be continued...
