After all, it was only the "Diary of a Young Girl".
The contents of the diary were mostly about the things that happened around the young girl. It could only reflect the situation of the Stuart Manor to a certain extent.
However, the information provided by the diary made Han Dong rather satisfied.
The diary also confirmed the authenticity of the young girl's words.
She was indeed chained by her mother to a special treehouse under the apple tree.
However, this treehouse was built for her by her parents.
It wasn't a malicious restriction on her personal freedom. Instead, it was to "protect" her personal safety.
The diary also mentioned this.
This young girl was born with a deformity. Her external manifestations were "cartilage" and "bark-like."
Her arms were soft like strips of meat. No matter how much she bent, there would be no problem. Furthermore, there was a hard bark-like structure on the surface.
Furthermore, "deformities" were very common in the small town covered by the manor.
This young girl's neighbors were also in a similar situation.
Through the little girl's self-talk in the diary, it could be inferred that farmers with deformities would be brought to the castle on the hill, never to have the opportunity to come out.
Due to the cover of the treehouse, the young girl was not taken away. Naturally, she did not know the situation within the castle.
There was one more thing.
The manor encouraged more children. If they gave birth to more than ten children, they would even be rewarded with resources.
Furthermore, the entire manor was not in a good state.
The little girl had seen with her own eyes the scene of her parents capturing the outsiders … The people of the Stuart Manor collectively referred to the outsiders as' pigs'.
As long as the "pigs" were brought to the lord, they would be able to exchange for a lot of food.
"Combining the two points of" more children "and" capturing outsiders alive ", it can be explained why there are so many corpses piled up in the underground area.
As for the issue of "congenital deformities", it should be due to marriage between close relatives … Clearly, the lord had set up a mandatory rule, deliberately causing the manor to give birth to more "deformities."
As for the deformities that were brought to the castle on the hill, it should be related to some kind of evil ritual.
If we want to unearth more secrets, we can only continue to delve deeper. "
Han Dong closed the diary and shared the additional information with his team members.
As for the next step of the "barn" exploration, they would have a good night's sleep and deal with it tomorrow.
"Nicholas, can I take up a bit of your time?"
"No problem."
Faced with captain Abel's invitation, Han Dong naturally could not refuse.
There was only one reason why Abel was looking for him.
After all, Abel couldn't figure out how Han Dong and the other mysterious apprentice managed to kill the High Level Foulness while he and Demps were dealing with the black-haired creature in the barber room.
Furthermore, it was Charlie the Barber's lair down there.
A hairdresser with the black hair cultivation technique would have accumulated an uncountable amount of black hair over the past two hundred years. The danger level was self-evident.
"Why don't we go out for a walk? Anyway, there are a lot of Night Watchers in the town, so it won't be too dangerous. If we're lucky, we might find some strange things or clues, "Han Dong suggested.
"Hmm … I'll ask Demps to keep an eye on the situation in the basement. If there are any abnormalities, inform us immediately."
The basement of the residence was also a 'risk entrance'. It was necessary to pay attention to it and even send people to guard it at all times.
A short while later.
Abel changed into a hooded jacket that covered his face and met with Han Dong outside the door to begin their night rendezvous.
While walking in the town with Abel, Han Dong observed.
Abel's arms were swinging powerfully and his pace was steady. If one observed carefully, they would find that every time Abel took a step, the dust raised was almost the same.
His breathing rhythm, arm swing rhythm, and pace rhythm were all the same.
Not only could he maintain the minimum energy consumption, but he could also respond to various combat situations at any time.
"This time, the mission of hair underground was all thanks to Nicholas … Although I really want to know how you did it, everyone has their own secrets.
The more powerful you are, the more likely our team will get an 'excellent' evaluation. "
Abel said very tactfully.
"Yes, I have some special skills to deal with 'polluted life'," Han Dong replied simply.
"Hmm … What do you think of the 'camp' this time? Our progress on the first day has far exceeded our expectations, and the following exploration path has been speculated.
Isn't the speed a bit too fast? Is it possible to evolve into a dangerous situation that is not under our control? "
"The speed is okay, let's keep it this way.
We only need to focus on the underground area … As for the situation on the surface, leave it to the other knights.
I think that this time's group training may involve some secrets. If we can go deep into the manor, we may be able to obtain some unexpected benefits. "
Han Dong only said this on the surface.
In fact, in terms of fast exploration, Han Dong had a certain degree of selfishness … He wanted to absorb more of the essence of pollution, so as to be able to perfect the measurement of the little magic eye.
In addition, he had just learned about the 'chaotic weapon' today. If he could deal with more of the Stuart family's cadres, he might be able to obtain a similar item. He could choose to sell it for money or use it to increase Chen Li's strength.
"If I feel that there is a possibility of 'losing control', I will try to slow down our exploration speed. I hope you don't mind, Nicholas …"
"Hmm."
The number of Night Watchmen in the town was relatively large.
Basically, every street had one or two Night Watchmen patrolling back and forth. Sometimes, they would even jump on the roof to observe the surrounding situation.
The Night Watchmen all wore black hooded cloaks and held a kerosene lamp in one hand.
The lamp light could faintly reflect their facial features.
Han Dong was quite clear about this point.
While the two chatted about some school matters, they had unknowingly passed through five streets. It was about time … When the two were about to return to the rented house to rest.
"Strange … This Night Watchman's appearance is exactly the same as the Night Watchman on the street where we live."
"Hmm?" Abel obviously did not observe this kind of detailed information. Moreover, the light could only faintly reflect the facial features … It was really difficult to distinguish.
"Abel, wait for a moment."
"Okay."
Han Dong stood at the entrance of the street and carefully observed the Night Watchman, confirming that he only patrolled this street.
In order to confirm that his observation was not wrong, Han Dong immediately sped up and returned to his residence. He found a Night Watchman here … The facial features were indeed the same.
Of course, it was also possible that they were a pair of twin knights.
Han Dong tried to find the Night Watchman and explained the situation in detail.
Under the hood, a strange smile appeared.
This person immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared, leaving only the Night Watchman's robe and lamp … and a letter.
