Lord of Secrets [Latest Chapters]

Ubermo nodded slightly when he heard this, and then he said to Eliog and the other guards: “Follow me to the castle first to arrange your affairs.

Elioge straightened his body slightly, and then said: “Yes!”

After arriving at the castle in a carriage, Ubermore and others entered the hall. He sat on the main seat and said to Eliog:

“I don’t usually come here very often, so I leave you in charge of the usual affairs. You just need to maintain the stability of the manor.”

“As for the residents in the manor…”

After a moment of silence, Ubermore said: “There is no rent, 20% of the income from labor goes to the castle, and the rest belongs to them. Part of it is responsible for providing your daily consumption as guards, and the rest is kept, if there is a drought , resulting in reduced food production and distribution of these.”

Elliot’s heart almost stopped, and even his breathing was somewhat disordered.

“The residents of the manor are an integral part of you. You provide them with safety guarantees, and they use their labor to provide you with food.”

The other guards couldn’t believe that these words would come from the mouth of a lord. In their eyes, the owner of the manor is a lord, who dominates them regardless of whether he is granted a title or not.

No matter what they think, Ubermo continued: “Those remaining grains should be stored for a period of time and then sold regularly to prevent them from spoiling and becoming unusable.”

“Part of the money received will be used to provide your remuneration, Elliot’s 20 beri per month, and the others 8 beri per month.”

Umbermore has no intention of abolishing serfdom in the Yuri Kingdom in Demasi Manor, and he cannot. Once he does so, he will attract the attention of others and arouse the hostility of other nobles.

Listening to Ubermo’s words, Elliot couldn’t calm down for a long time and didn’t know what to say.

Although they are guards, they are the same as those serfs. Ever since Count Raphael disappeared and people in the castle were suspected of death.

The guards who supervised the work of the serfs in their father’s generation survived, but were also treated as slaves and handed over to the owner of the next manor.

There is no difference between them and serfs, except that their work is easier, and his mother is a serf.

Therefore, these guards in the manor are now inseparable from the serfs, because they are almost one body.

Then, Ubermore continued: “Although I won’t come to the manor often, I don’t want you to see you degenerate and corrupt. You must ensure the safety of the manor. As for the consequences, I don’t need to say more.”

Elioge quickly said in a somewhat high-spirited tone: “Yes! Master, I will ensure that they do not slacken their vigilance on the manor.”

Other guards also said: “We will listen to Captain Elio!”

“Everyone else should leave first. Elliot and I have something to say!” At this time, Ubermo looked at everyone and said.

After the others left, Ubermore said: “Do you have any opinion on the disappearance of Count Raphael?”

What Ubermo mainly wanted to ask was whether their father’s generation knew some inside stories.

Eliog was a little confused when he heard this, thought for a while, and then said: “It’s just weird!”

“According to what my father said, Count Raphael often stayed in the castle at that time and did not go out or hold balls or anything like that.”

“Then until that night, when Uncle Hangen was preparing to report to the castle, he found a lot of blood inside, but there was no one there.”

“Afterwards, some nobles came to investigate, but they didn’t come to any conclusion.”

Ubermo pondered: “Then some nobles came to investigate, and why didn’t they take over this manor?”

After a few seconds of silence, Eliog looked at Ubermo and said, “I don’t know exactly which ones, but I remember Count Hermei. He said at the time that Raphael would curse anyone who took over his manor. ”

“So the nobles stopped paying attention to the manor. Although I don’t know if they monitored it privately, it is possible that they gave up the idea later.”

Count Hemeyi…Ubermo remembered that he was a prestigious old count in the Kingdom of Yuri, but he didn’t seem to get along well with the Yegard family. Maybe the reason for Yegard’s decline was also related to him.

“Are there any abandoned areas in this manor?” Ubermo then asked.

“Yes, no one has been to the towers and houses near the Nubis Mountains in the south.” Eliogo replied.

“Have you ever been there?” Ubermo continued to ask.

Eliog hesitated for a while, and then said: “I’ve been there, but it’s just a bit eerie. After all, it’s close to the Nubis Mountains.”

“And a few servants went crazy there before and died. This is also the reason why it was gradually abandoned.”

“Is there anyone who survived?” Ubermore thought of Lake and asked immediately.

Eliogo pondered for a while, and then said: “There seemed to be one ten years ago, but I don’t quite remember his name, but I remember that he finally left the manor with a daughter who was about ten years old.”

After thinking for a while, Ubermore said: “Don’t go near the abandoned place in the south tower. Arrange personnel in the castle to clean it.”

“Now, you are equivalent to my housekeeper and guard. You need to deal with these things by yourself gradually.”

“In a word, this is your home. I don’t have much time to manage it. If you want to live a better life, it’s up to you what to do.”

Elioge knelt on one knee and said, “I am willing to serve you!”

“You leave first, I will take a look at this manor by myself, and then I will leave Demaci Manor first.” Ubermo looked at Elioge and said.

“Yes!” After a slight hesitation, Elioge replied.

…

Walking in the castle, Ubermo began to scan the surroundings, hoping to find some dark rooms or leftover items.

The hall was empty, except for some candlesticks and carpets, and the original hanging paintings were gone.

Through the corridor, Ubermo walked towards the inner room, the living room, the dining room, the banquet hall, the study…

Unfortunately, even the study, which is most likely to have some books, did not find anything.

Most of the books were packed and taken away by Lourdes, and the remaining ones were mostly printed.

Coming to the chapel in the castle, Ubermo could see that the customs of the god of death were preserved inside.

Although the belief in the god of death is more common in the southern continent, it has been constantly suppressed, and even the church of the god of death has split into many sects.

Now, the Church of the Storm has established itself in Yuri and started to preach to other countries, such as Baimon, Belier and Dark Night.

The chapel was a little gloomy, with dim light and various symbols and lines painted on the walls.

He held the cold iron railing and walked up the spiral staircase. There was a wooden statue on the long table on the high platform where the spiral staircase intersected.

—Feathered winged snake with its tail in its mouth.

There are many images of the god of death. Most people use the feathered winged snake with its tail in its mouth to symbolize the image of the god of death, representing reincarnation, and death is not the end.

Ubemo used his ability to “see through” and looked around. Suddenly, he found that the wall behind the high platform was a little strange.

“Dark hole…”

After searching for a while, he found a mechanism and pressed it. Suddenly, a hole that was chiseled began to appear on the wall.

Ubemo then saw another wooden statue.

—A human body with a wolf’s head, wearing a white ribbon, holding a heart and a feather in his hands respectively.

Ubemo stood quietly, very familiar with this image, but then shook off the thought in his mind and recalled the history of the death god’s belief. It seemed that the death god in the southern continent had this image, but it seemed to be circulated only in some areas.

Could it be that the Yegad family believed in this image of the death god… Ubemo was a little confused.

After thinking for a while, Ubemo, who was a little confused, put the statue into the hole and pressed the mechanism.

Then, he walked down the spiral staircase and turned to look at the edge of the wall of the platform in front.

There was a relief with twisted lines carved here, and the center was slightly concave compared to other parts.

After looking at this for a while, Ubemo returned to the platform and took out the jackal statue from the hole in the wall.

Put it into the concave part in the middle of the relief, and the jackal statue fits the concave part completely.

At this time, the wall of the platform moved completely inward, making a low “rumbling” sound and friction sound. After a few seconds, a dusty stone staircase was revealed. It was dark in the depths, and no one knew where it led to.

Ubemo looked at it quietly, closed the door of the chapel, used the ability of “escape”, created a “path”, and slightly transported a little air to the depths of the stone steps.

A few minutes later, he picked up a kerosene lamp by the wall, created an “image”, poured it into the spirit body, and controlled the “image” to walk towards the stone steps.

It was pitch black underground, and Ubemo held the kerosene lamp behind the “image” and slightly illuminated the front.

This is a corridor, and candles are placed on the candlesticks on the wall at intervals. The corridor is relatively dry and the temperature is low. Although the candles may have been left over from Raphael, they can still be used.

Ubemo lit these candles and continued to walk slowly inside.

At this time, the stone wall above completely closed the entrance, and Ubemo stopped.

He used the “mysterious fire ring” in front of him, and felt that he could leave the cave, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

A few dozen seconds later, Ubemo came to a secret room. He controlled the “image” to gently push open the rotten wooden door, and the dust slowly fell to the ground.

There was a pile of boxes in front of him, and suddenly, the “image” shattered like bubbles.

Ubemo felt a sense of oppression, and his spirituality was almost stagnant. When he wanted to use his ability, he would feel a twitch and collapse.

He felt an impulse, took out the “Heavenly Death Bell” from his arms, and slowly moved it towards his head.

He looked at the squirming gray liquid that appeared from behind the box in front of him, and took a step back slightly, but he could not control his hands. He could not use his ability and could not know the weakness of this gray liquid.

The only thing he could do was to leave the range of the liquid, so that this suicidal tendency would disappear, or suppress it with other possible methods.
