[Chapter 39 Weird]

clap clap ~

The six quickly approached the castle gate on fast horses.

As Aaron and the others gradually approached the range of Cooper’s Castle, a feeling of depression that seemed to linger in their hearts became obvious, especially with a large number of animal skin tents and an empty environment around them, it was almost overwhelming. The hair is faintly cold…..

Finally, Aaron, Viscount Steve and the others came to the city gate of Cooper Castle, got up and dismounted, and tied the reins to a low tree beside the city gate, Aaron and Steve After the others carefully walked into the city gate and walked through a short dark corridor, Aaron and the others finally came to Cooper Castle——

At first glance, the interior of the castle seems to be no different from Viscount Steve’s Leo Castle. It is also a group of blue-gray buildings, most of which are the personal houses of the lords, and a few are commercial shops. However, Surprisingly, these places are all the same as the outside, not even a living person.

Seeing this, Viscount Steve suggested: “Let’s go to the accommodation area of Viscount Cooper. When I came to visit last time, that guy even invited me to his private study and drank his collection together. ‘Carprofen’ (a drink), the taste is still fresh in my memory.”

“Hey~, if Cooper really repelled the enemy coalition forces and escaped with the entire territory’s residents, at least he would also take his treasures with him, right?”

Aaron shook his head, knowing that even Viscount Steve himself would not believe it – not only to repel the coalition forces of the Karas Empire, but also to escape with the residents of the entire territory, which is like a fantasy. joke.

So Viscount Steve said this just to relieve everyone’s psychological pressure-because this place is a bit weird, so far, let alone a living person, I have never seen a living thing. .

Aaron followed Viscount Steve to the accommodation area in Cooper Castle, while looking at the surrounding blue-gray houses, he found that there was no trace of blood on the blue-gray eaves and walls—

“What the hell happened? It doesn’t look like there was a killing here…”

“Everything is too clean, including a large flat outside the castle, although tents, weapons, etc. are scattered around…”

“However, we never saw any trace of blood, as if everything had been ‘cleaned’.”

Aaron’s mind was full of doubtful thoughts, and when he reacted, he realized that he had followed Viscount Steve and the others, and successfully came to the one-piece building in the castle accommodation area, standing in front of a black cyan in front of the gate—

“This is the accommodation area of Cooper Castle. If there are still people staying, they will definitely choose to live here.”

After Viscount Steve explained, he stepped forward and opened the door, shouting at the inside: “Cooper, are you inside? I’m Steve, your old friend is here to see you!”

The loud shouts echoed in the empty accommodation area, and there were only echoes left, like a stone dropped on the water surface, only splashing layers of ripples, and there was no other response.

The whole building is like a beast that chooses and devours people, secretly hiding in the shadows and peeking at the figures of everyone, licking his chapped lips from time to time, waiting for the moment when he opens his bloody mouth.

An atmosphere of emptiness and silence made the other four soldiers shudder, and one of them couldn’t help but dissuade him: “Lord Viscount, do we really want to go in? Why don’t we just forget it? Anyway, the people in this castle have nothing to do with us, there is no need to find out the truth of the matter, right?”

“Also, I have heard that there are many things in this world that are beyond ‘ordinary’…”

To this,

Viscount Steve hesitated for a while, but still decided: “Let’s go in and have a look, and follow me to Cooper’s room. If he’s not here or can’t find any other useful information, we’ll leave here immediately.”

After speaking, Viscount Steve looked at Aaron, seemingly asking for Aaron’s opinion.

And Aaron thought for a while, thinking that he and the others had come here without incident, anyway, it wouldn’t take much time to go to Viscount Cooper’s room. It’s good to leave.

So, Aaron nodded and agreed: “Okay, then let’s go to Viscount Cooper’s room as soon as possible. If there is still nothing to gain, just leave here and don’t care about the mystery of this stall.”

Everyone nodded in unison. Obviously, everyone had the same idea. If the battlefield outside the castle was too strange, I am afraid that no one would think about entering Cooper Castle to investigate.

Viscount Steve took the lead, and the group walked into the interior of the accommodation area – the interior of the building is a typical medieval castle walkway structure, black and white latticed tile floors, gray and white walls and columns, and long hanging on the corridor ceiling. Hanging lights make everything look extraordinarily elegant and chic.

If it weren’t for the absence of a figure…

…………

“I clearly remember that Cooper’s room was on the third floor. Follow me and go up the stairs to the left.”

Soon, Viscount Steve led Aaron and the others to a brown wooden door in the corridor on the third floor, took a deep breath and said, “I remember it is here, go in and have a look, if If there is no one, we will just leave this place.”

Aaron nodded in agreement, then stepped forward and pushed open the door—

Squeak~!

The door was slowly pushed open, and inside was a relatively normal aristocratic bedroom. The brown-yellow walls and the brown-red wooden furniture formed a rather elegant medieval tone, depicting animal skins with complex patterns. The rugs and quaint bookshelves against the walls suggest that the owner of the room belongs to the privileged class of aristocracy.

“Viscount Cooper? Are you there?”

Aaron asked a symbolic question, and after finding that there was no response, he shook his head helplessly, turned to Steve and the others and said, “It seems that Viscount Cooper is not there…… ”

Before he finished speaking, Aaron’s pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes——

Behind him is an empty castle corridor. Where are the figures of Viscount Steve and others?

!

Swish~!

At this moment, Aaron subconsciously pulled out the new cross sword on his waist, glanced around with a vigilant look, and shouted in a deep voice: “Lord Viscount, are you still in the castle? Please answer me.. …”

The slightly solemn shouts gradually drifted away in the empty corridor, and there was not a trace of other responses…

At this moment, Aaron turned his head to look at the stairway not far away, but saw a white figure suddenly disappear at the corner of the stairway——

“who is it?!”
