Chapter 3 Trouble at the Castle

"Mr. Pianist, there is something I want to talk to you frankly about."

"Just say it"

"Both Mr. Baron and I know what happened last night."

"What happened last night?" Xie Sheng felt panicked.

"Of course, I reported to the Baron."

Xie Sheng: “·······”

He didn't know what Butler Xiong meant: "Is he seeking hatred or intimidating in some way!"

Butler Xiong misunderstood what he meant.

"You don't have to pretend to be confused. As long as you don't intend to kidnap the lady, there is nothing to worry about."

"How could I do that?"

Butler Xiong nodded: "The Baron really wants to keep one of the two ladies in the castle. Your brave performance today will give you more opportunities with the Baron. I hope you won't do anything stupid."

"Is he implying that the baron acquiesces in his affair with Xiaodie?"

Xie Sheng thought about the meaning of Butler Xiong's words and replied: "Yes, Mr. Butler"

"I had a good impression of you before, but today I found that you are not honest enough."

"What does this mean?"

Perhaps the candied dates have been distributed, and now is Butler Bear’s real purpose.

"I don't see on your profile that you have fought a war."

"My profile says I spent some time in the New World colonies."

"There seems to be a period"

"I once stayed in a settlement that was often attacked by natives. They required every settler to undergo regular military training, and I also participated in several battles."

Butler Xiong nodded: "Many settlements have this system, why is it not mentioned in the information?"

"It's not a regular army, so I don't think it's necessary to write it on it."

"Don't you think it was a very meaningful experience?"

"I don't like to shoot people with guns, even some indigenous people. If you kill them in this world, they will appear next to your bed every night."

Butler Xiong nodded: "I understand what you mean."

He didn't know that there was a disease called trauma syndrome in later generations, but many veterans would be haunted by similar hallucinations throughout their lives.

Xie Sheng was naturally making things up, but he didn't expect Butler Xiong to be very touched.

Huntingdon Castle is still quite far from the beach.

None of the gunfire from this fierce battle on the beach was heard.

And the castle has its own troubles.

The lookout post on the castle spotted the noisy townspeople with bad intentions from far away.

The castle is densely covered with pipes for communication.

This is a good thing that the Baron found on the colonial fleet.

On warships, communication is carried out through unique pipes on the ship.

After leaving the army, the baron also set up a special communication device in his castle.

Thanks to the high efficiency of these channels, the news quickly reached the baron.

The meeting concerning the future of Demon Ruins has just ended.

Due to the wind, the meeting was moved to the small living room on the first floor of the tower.

The baron said to Queen Sophia: "Your Highness, there is some trouble outside."

"What happened?"

"Let's go upstairs and take a look."

The baron walked to the top of the tower, stood behind the parapet, and looked into the distance of the castle.

I saw a dense crowd of people in the distance walking towards the castle.

Queen Sophia walked next to him and looked at the group of people in the distance.

"Who are those people?"

"Most of them are residents of the town"

"What are they doing here?"

The baron smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, the constitutionalists have used the funds provided by the capitalists to raise a large number of lackeys.

Walking at the front was the owner of a tavern in the town. He was one of the slightly famous mad dogs.

The constitutionalists specially arranged for him to monitor me in the town. He opened a tavern in the town and has been inciting the people in the town to deal with me.

Although I still don’t know what excuse he made this time, I know their purpose.”

Sophia looked at the Baron, waiting for him to finish.

The baron continued: These constitutionalist lackeys have always had a sharp nose. It seems that he and those behind him want to know what is happening in the castle now."

"Then, according to the original plan, it is impossible for me to return to Crown Island at night!"

"I'm afraid you'll have to condescend to stay in the castle for one night."

"In this case, we still have time to continue discussing some other issues tomorrow. I will go back and rest first while you go and resolve the matter properly."

"As you wish, Her Royal Highness the Queen"

The Baron stood up and escorted Queen Sophia back to the tower.

Butler Xiong had just finished a conversation with Xie Sheng that he thought was very important, and said to Xie Sheng.

"We have to move these boxes to the roof of the building. The location of the ammunition depot must be kept strictly confidential and no one can see that the boxes are moved from here."

“But along the way, it’s almost impossible not to be discovered.”

"Why is it impossible? Just wait here. I'll lock the door from the outside first."

Xie Sheng nodded, Butler Xiong walked out of the billiard room, and the sound of locking was heard outside.

A few minutes later, a sound came from a wall in the billiard room, and a secret door was pushed open.

Butler Xiong squeezed out from the small door.

"There is actually a secret door here"

"Yes, you don't know how much effort the Baron put into this wooden house. We have been here for a long enough time. Hurry up and move these boxes up. Those goblins will not always be so honest."

Xie Sheng and Butler Xiong each carried a wooden box and walked into the secret door.

He found that this steep staircase did not lead directly to the top floor, but there was also a closed door on the second floor.

"I don't know where this door leads to, or which room it is in."

The secret passage is at the exit of the rooftop, right in the middle of the rooftop.

There were only two servants on the rooftop, and the downward door was locked from above.

Those goblins were still gathering together far away, not knowing what to do.

"I asked them all to go downstairs and rest."

After the two of them moved the wooden boxes, Butler Xiong said to him.

"Just now, the lady asked me why I locked you in the billiard room in front of outsiders. I told her that it was because you launched an unauthorized attack on the wooden house. Although the tactics were not wrong, you violated my order after all, so I have to lock you up for an hour.

Confinement, so you have to go down the secret passage and go to the billiard room to play for a while. I will let you out then."

Xie Sheng nodded, turned around and walked towards the secret passage.

"Listen to me, the switch of the secret passage is..."

Butler Xiong was in his ear, telling him the location of the secret passage switch in a voice that only two people could hear.

Xie Sheng returned to the secret passage along the stairs, and stopped for a while on the second floor.

He returned to the billiard room, closed the door again, and walked to the corner wine cabinet.

Recalling Butler Xiong's words, Xie Sheng stretched his hand to the leg of the table and twisted it hard.

A "click" sound was heard in the ears.

I walked back and pushed the secret door of the secret passage. It didn't move at all, as if it was part of the wall.

Xie Sheng walked back to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of wine.
