The Devil’s Cage Chapter 23: Doubtful points

When Mary pushed the door open and Kieran saw the situation in the room, he knew that he had just made a guess.

This is a small room, but not a small room.

On the left hand side, two three-meter high and five-meter wide books completely block a wall.

On the right hand side, there is only a short table with an empty shelf on it.

According to the style of the shelf, it should be a shelf for placing Longsword weapons.

However, now the shelf is empty.

Across from Kieran, it is a desk.

This desk is normal size, with one end facing the door and the other facing the window on the wall opposite the door.

A chair was pushed under the table, revealing only the back of the chair.

The moonlight shines through the window, covering the ground with first floor silver frost, and making a sword mark on the ground more conspicuous.

This sword mark spreads from the doorway to the window and is nearly ten meters long, enough to sink into a palm.

"What a sharp sword!"

Kieran squatted down, pushed his palm deep into the sword mark, and could not help sighing softly.

He is very familiar with this kind of sword marks.

His [Blade Kick] can also cause similar marks.

But this length cannot be reached.

"This sword was cut out of the room, until..."

Kieran came to the window along the sword marks.

The sharp sword marks have a sense of diffusion here, and the floor is somewhat broken, which is far less straight than the previous cut.

According to experience, there are only two reasons for this sense of diffusion.

First, lack of strength and unfamiliar with this technique.

It's like he first mastered [Blade Kick].

Secondly, an accident happened and suddenly pulled back!

The sharp and straight sword marks before it are enough to show that the person who cut the sword is very familiar with this technique.

So, only the second one remains.

"Not only convergence, but also because of convergence backlash, and was nailed to the door with a sword?"

Kieran walked back to the starting point of the sword.

Remaining blood stains and a few inches of sword marks on the deep Entry board were found behind the door.

This sword mark is extremely narrow, it should be a sword or a thin sword.

Once again opened the [Tracking] field of vision, turned around in the room, and confirmed that there were no omissions, then Kieran turned to look at Mary.

"Is this the room where your mother was killed?"

he asked.

When Mary frankly took over the title of "Master of Swusters Castle" ​​from his mother, Kieran guessed that the other party's mother had been killed.

It's just that Kieran didn't expect Mary's mother to be quite capable.

Inferred from what he saw in the room, it was the mother of Mary who cut the straight sword mark.

However, unfortunately, the other party is prepared.

Directly defeat by defeat by some small means.

Or more precisely: winning in a more relaxed way.

Even though Mary’s mother has reasons such as backlash and stunned gods, it is not an ordinary assassin's ability to nail a target to a door panel through a distance of ten meters with one blow.

"Interesting!"

Kieran heart raised a strong curiosity.

An extraordinary castle hostess, a well-prepared assassin, and the minister of the mission with the king’s decree, Kieran unconsciously guessed the relationship between them.

Of course, this does not prevent him from listening carefully to Mary's answer.

"Yes!"

"This is the room where my mother was killed!"

Mary nodded, tolerating his sorrow and trying to say what he knew in a calm tone.

"Mother is used to reading here at night, and it was the same that night--after watching me fall asleep, my mother came here to continue reading and did not return to the bedroom all night. , But it’s not without, so I didn’t care when I woke up until..."

Although he endured his emotions, when it comes to this, Mary's voice is still a little choked.

Kieran wants to comfort each other, but does not know what to say.

It can only be silent.

After a few seconds, the sound of Mary sounded again.

"At breakfast, Galat and I had already gone to the restaurant, but my mother hadn't shown up yet! Galat and I came here and felt that my mother was nailed behind this door, completely No breath."

Mary said.

It seems to be talking about other people's things.

Compared with the previous choking, the appearance at this time is even more sad in the eyes of Kieran.

As an orphan, he never knew what his parents loved.

But he knows that if he had the love of his parents but he lost it again...

That taste must be uncomfortable.

"Do you know where your mother’s saber is?"

"And what did she read on the desk at that time?"

Kieran pointed to a desk that was empty except for quill pens and some blank papers. He spoke quickly, hoping to remove this uncomfortable atmosphere through dialogue.

"No!"

"Except for burying my mother, I haven't touched anything in this room. Here is what my mother looked like when she was killed!"

The girl shook her head.

"The missing sword and books, letters..."

Kieran muttered to himself, but stopped suddenly.

If the saber is missing, it can only show that the saber is extraordinary or has other meanings.

If books and letters disappear, there is only one possibility.

The text written on it.

The situation in front of us made Kieran subconsciously think of the contact information of the last ‘Swusters Castle Master’ and King that person’s mission: a letter!

"Before, I asked you, "Why can your mother know that the minister is missing", will they rely on correspondence?"

Kieran looked at Mary and asked.

"Yes!"

"They communicate by correspondence, but every time they read it, the mother will burn the letters immediately! And, as far as I know, the mother will not write down those burned letters silently, so it disappears in The letters on the desk should not be letters!"

Mary said.

"is that right?"

Kieran pondered.

The mother of Mary is careful enough that such a person will not be easily grasped by others.

"Do you know the contents of the correspondence?"

Kieran continued to ask.

"Know some!"

"The missionary agreed in the letter to meet with my mother in Tita Town, but the other party did not appear on time, which made my mother uneasy, so she started to contact some friends including 2567 you Sent for help!"

So, Mary looked at Kieran.

The young face of Kieran made the girl wonder how Kieran became friends with her mother.

"Your mother’s hunch is right!"

"She encountered an assassination here!"

"The people who assassinated her are very familiar with her and prepared very well-not only made it silent, but also caught the chance of giving your mother a fatal blow!"

Kieran is completely unable to answer such questions, he can only pull the topic back to the original girl for help.

"So, the person who assassinated her should be the original acquaintance and friend!"

Kieran emphasized.

"Is this right?"

Mary lowered his head.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

"Although I don’t want to disturb you~IndoMTL.com~, I must remind you that we need to leave here quickly-the former assassin, but it will not be the last one."

Kieran shot the **** the shoulder.

He doesn't want to see the other person's sad expression.

"Where are we going?"

The girl asked blankly.

"Tita Town!"

Kieran said firmly.

There are too many doubts there.

Including...

That mission.
