After leaving Mary's room, the Baron was full of thoughts and a little absent-minded along the way.

A black cat followed the baron into the living room before the door closed.

The soldiers thought it was brought by the baron, so they took no action against the black cat.

In this way, the black cat followed the baron and finally slipped into the central tower.

Seeing the baron walking in from downstairs, they both stood up from the sofa.

Both of them are important people with great power in Moxu, and their status is much higher than that of Huntington, who only has the title of baronet.

But both of them knew very well that the power secretly controlled by the Baron was an important force in safeguarding the rights in their hands.

Moreover, the baron is the master and must show the necessary respect and courtesy to the other party.

Later generations were called by orthodox historians the three sinners of the country and the scum of the nation.

Some non-mainstream historians call them the last three bulwarks against the country falling into the hands of capitalists.

"You two are too polite, please sit down."

The baron sat down on the sofa opposite them.

Barrett walked towards the two Guards soldiers and whispered a few instructions.

A soldier bolted the door, and he and another soldier saluted the three important people in the room, and then walked out of the living room together.

At the same time, the black cat climbed onto a sofa not far away.

Curl up comfortably on the sofa, close your eyes, and doze off.

Pankolov glanced at the black cat without paying much attention.

As for Barrett, in his eyes there are only two kinds of animals, those that are edible and those that are not.

In the eastern tower, Payne was still standing on the roof, his body intentionally or unintentionally hidden behind the parapet, staring at the southern tower in the distance.

Suddenly he turned around and looked at the stairs.

"Master, I was shocked just now. It turns out you are here. It's very windy and cold here at night."

Elena walked out of the stairs, holding a blanket in her hand.

Payne stared at Elena with cold eyes, and a sense of hunger, both mental and physical, made him want to pounce on her, grab her tightly, and devour her completely.

Seeing the completely unfamiliar look in the young master's eyes, Elena took a step back suddenly: "Master, don't scare me!"

She couldn't hold the blanket in her hand and slipped from her hand.

Payne's eyes fell from her face to the blanket, and a warmth rose in his heart.

He tried hard to suppress the anger in himself: "Go and find me something to eat. I feel very hungry now."

Elena reached out and picked up the blanket from the ground: "What do you want to eat?"

"Meat, I want to eat meat, the fresher the better, the more the better"

"Okay, Master, I'll go right away"

Elena took two steps back, turned around and ran downstairs in a panic, even forgetting to hand the blanket to Payne.

Payne looked at her back and said, "Well, am I scary?"

Living room on the first floor of the central tower.

The Baron spoke first: "I'm sorry, there were many accidents today. Believe me, my territory is rarely as lively as it is today."

"Huntington, the entire Demon Ruin is like this. The inaudible noises are more disturbing than the ones that can be heard. There is no place as peaceful as yours now."

Pankolov picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for the Baron: "We only want to drink red wine, but those in the Queen City want to drink red blood to be satisfied."

The baron reached for the wine glass, raised it to the two of them, and said, "I just came up from below. Do you know the direction in which the explosion occurred?"

"The explosion occurred in the north, exactly where the blue light flashed before."

Knowing that the explosion did not come from the south, the Baron was relieved. He was really afraid that the constitutionalists who controlled the Queen City would take some action tonight.

The Baron frowned: "According to the time, Contense should not be able to reach the beach yet. I hope those children will be okay."

Barrett said: "According to my experience, it was the sound of explosives exploding rather than gunpowder. Did you put explosives on the beach?"

"I promise, there is no such thing in the beach villa, but there are some newly produced explosive bombs on the warships, and explosives are used as fillers, but they are still in the experimental stage and we have not officially put them into use yet."

"In that case, can we think that someone launched a surprise attack on the beach and was hit by the Baron. The Baron or the incoming ship fired cannons?"

"It is entirely possible. You know, for the safety of Her Majesty the Queen, I cannot send anyone out of the castle no matter what."

Each tower is connected by a suspension bridge and a corridor extending from the central tower.

The suspension bridge is very cleverly constructed. You only need to gently shake a handle to lower or retract the suspension bridge easily.

Even the somewhat frail Elena is no exception.

After she stuck the handle in the slot, she walked across the suspension bridge, stuck another mechanism, and walked along the corridor toward the central tower. Outside the door of the central tower, she was stopped by a servant holding a rifle. There was also a servant standing next to him.

Soldier of the Royal Guards.

Leading from the central tower to each tower is a separate corridor and a door into the tower.

Today the entire castle is heavily guarded, especially on the central tower.

In each corridor stood a fully armed servant, and sometimes a Royal Guardsman stood with the servant.

The servant recognized Elena by the light in the corridor. This little girl had always been very popular with everyone.

"Elena, the master is talking to someone inside. If you want to go to the central tower, please wait a moment."

"Okay, I'll wait a moment."

Even if she was standing in the corridor blowing the wind, Elena didn't want to go back to the tower now.

Master Payne was not normal to begin with, and after waking up tonight, he seemed even more abnormal.

He always looks at himself strangely, as if he is looking at a roast goose!

Barrett heard the other meaning of the baron's words: "What about outside the castle?"

"Yes, I still have some reserve teams in several nearby manors. If the situation is critical, I will transfer those reserve teams into the castle, and I can also send some more people to the beach, but I must be cautious."

Pankolov narrowed his eyes: "Baron, why don't you move those reserve troops into the castle now!"

"Pankolov, do you know how many constitutionalist lackeys are staring at me? It's not that time yet. Using those people easily will not only expose all my power, but also be regarded by the constitutionalists as a war that is about to break out.

We'd better go back to our bedrooms and sleep. We can't do anything if we sit here until dawn. No matter what happens, Constance will send someone back to tell me immediately."
