Why did Dort Sommer mention this
At that time, a serious riot broke out in Yinguang City. The successive mining accidents resulted in the death of hundreds of absentee workers. The employers were only willing to compensate the free people for their losses. anger. Refugees who did not want to wait to die swarmed out of the mining area, burning and looting all the way, and finally restored order only after the suppression of the Royal Knights.
The parents had been gone for a long time that day, and it was not until the siblings were sent to Old Ge Lan's house that Nightingale heard the cause of their parents' death from the other party's mouth.
But the meaning of the Viscount's words doesn't seem to be the same
She didn't expect that an accident that has passed more than ten years, there is still the possibility of subversion. If it is true as the other party said, the investigation to be investigated this time is no longer just the relationship between Hyde and the Sommer family.
Nightingale quietly exited the room, passed through the floors, came to the bottom floor of the basement, and then activated the listening sigil that she carried with her.
Something that was originally prepared just for Roland to call her back at any time, but didn't expect it to come in handy in this way.
"It's really suspicious," Roland on the side of the talisman replied after hearing the story, "so you want to stay in the mansion longer?"
"Yes, I want to wait until the evening and ask Hyde in person... Maybe he knows something." Nightingale hesitated, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I..."
"There's nothing to apologize for," Roland quickly interrupted her. "I'll be waiting for you at the camp until you're done investigating. Don't worry, it's very safe here. As long as I don't go out, it's not a breach of the agreement. You have to pay attention to your own safety, don't be too impulsive, no matter what the situation is, report to me every two hours."
There was a warm current in Yeying's heart, and she was silent for a while before replying softly, "Yes, I understand."
…
It was not until the moonlight outside the skylight disappeared that Nightingale left the cellar and walked towards Hyde's room. Before that, she had confirmed the location of her brother. The sinking moon means that the time is approaching three o'clock in the middle of the night, and most people have fallen asleep. Even the guards who watch the night will inevitably fall asleep, so it is also the most suitable time for her to act.
Hyde's bedroom is located on the first floor of the mansion, near the back garden. Generally speaking, only servants and less important guests are placed here. This has confirmed the words of the two guards. The Lan family's successor took it too seriously, and at the same time made Nightingale realize that the childhood friendliness of the Somei family was probably disguised.
However, the contempt of the other party made her a lot easier. There was no one guarding the entire hall to the aisle, so even if an accident happened, she would have enough time to escape.
After entering the bedroom, Nightingale bluntly dragged his brother out of the quilt. When he woke up from the dream and had not fully recovered, a dagger with a cold light had already touched his neck.
"Screaming, calling for help, crying will kill you, understand?" she whispered, standing behind Hyde.
The latter nodded hastily.
"Very well, now turn around and see who I am?"
Hyde was very quick to do it, but when he saw the face of the visitor through the dim moonlight, his eyes suddenly widened! If it weren't for the dagger around his neck, he would almost have screamed.
But he finally managed to hold back.
After confirming that the other party's mood had stabilized, Nightingale slowly retracted the dagger.
"Why...why are you here?" Hyde said, suppressing his trembling voice, "Shouldn't you be dead long ago?"
The moment she heard him speak, the dusty memories of the past flooded into her heart. At that moment, Nightingale seemed to have returned to the old Gelan's house. The pain of being betrayed by her own younger brother and the oppression of her distant relatives drove her to die, and she was even a little bit conscious. In a trance.
It was the person in front of her who ripped open her most vulnerable side and exposed it to outsiders who were not at ease.
"Why do you say that?" She bit her tongue, making the rust smell wash away the distracting thoughts in her mind.
"Because, because..." Hyde swallowed, "Tifek rummaged through the capital and surrounding cities several times, and claimed that he had executed all the witches. No, but Veronica, I am Said, sister... I didn't want you to die, and I was shocked when I heard the news, and thought that if you didn't leave without authorization, maybe everything would be fine. "
Veronica... She hasn't heard this name for a long time, but after so many years, she is no longer as gullible as before.
The magic that vibrated like strings had already told her that the second half of the answer was a lie.
"How did you come together with Viscount Dort Sommer?"
"Uh, this..." He paused for a moment, "After the death of Old Glenn, there were frequent quarrels in the family. I don't know the specifics, but when I took over the title, there was almost no savings in the manor. At this moment, the Viscount came to the door, and I had no choice." [Lie]
"He forced you to join the Somer family?"
"Yes, he said that if I didn't agree, he would get rid of me..." [Lying]
"Then what are you doing for him now?" Nightingale said calmly, "A relief to the poor?"
"No," Hyde gritted his teeth, "he's just using me as a pretense, but he's actually selling Dreamland Water! Those mice who are carrying the goods for him are in the crowd, and I only recently discovered his tricks!"
The first half of the sentence didn't respond to magic, but the second half was still a lie.
However, Nightingale found that she was not angry, she was even a little relieved... Yes, that's how it feels, this is what a normal conversation should be like. There are constant lies, mixed truths and falsehoods... People's hearts are always changing, and even if the blood is connected, the true voice of the other party cannot be heard. Since the awakening of her ability, she has long been accustomed to this situation, whether it is not changing her color in the face of lies, or stripping the truth from layers of bluffing.
On the contrary, it was Roland's conversation that rarely detected the beating of magic power, which made it difficult for her to adapt for a while.
At this moment, the shadow killer who lurked in the darkness and made the nobility in the central region tremble was back.
"What's your plan next?"
Hearing this sentence, Hyde suddenly fell to the ground and pleaded, "Sister, please help me!"
"help you?"
He took two steps forward, "I know it was my fault before... But I'm your own younger brother! Lord Viscount doesn't treat me as a noble at all, and you can see that he actually gave the servant's house to him. I use, repairing this mansion is just to hide people's eyes and ears, continue to stay here, he will attack me sooner or later!"
"So you want me to take you away?"
"Let's go? Then don't you have nothing?" Hyde shook his head in panic, and then said bitterly, "You killed Old Glenn, right? Although I don't know what ability it used, you can easily enter Here, I must be able to enter his bedroom. Sister, kill him! As long as he dies, I will have the opportunity to become a real noble of Sommer! Then, then you will kill the other heirs one by one, this territory ...and all of the Sommer's property, it belongs to us!"
Nightingale stared into his eyes and didn't answer for a long time, until Hyde lowered her head uneasily again, and she said, "Before that, I want to ask you a question."
"Yes, yes..." The younger brother responded quickly.
"Back then, why did you betray me?" Nightingale asked word by word.
