Romance of Gods

Chapter 130 Pirates III

【Molly·62 years old·Housekeeper】

"Oh! Shet!"

David and Bob were frightened by the ghostly old woman. After falling to the ground, they hugged each other tightly and closed their eyes tremblingly.

The wine barrel was calmer. Seeing that the visitor was older, he was overjoyed. He stood up and apologized with a smile.

"Sorry, beautiful madam, I didn't mean to be rude...just because your figure is so tight, I thought you were some girl."

Molly giggled at the words and straightened her body. After the wrinkles smoothed out, her temperament returned to dignity, "It's not a good idea to break into Lesk Manor and steal."

"Madam, you misunderstood." Chen Yan jumped off the carriage and quietly took out the musket. "It was the servants of your residence who invited us here."

"Oh?" Molly looked up and down at Chen Yan's clothes, "Dear Mr. Pirate, I wonder who the servant's name is?"

"Zhang Bulu."

Chen Yan tried to say the name.

Molly raised her eyebrows lightly and nodded: "Yes, Blue is indeed the gardener here. He went out in a panic early in the morning. Since he went to invite you, why didn't he come back with you?"

"Because there really can't be a fourth person in the carriage." Chen Yan smiled. The young man who committed suicide actually worked here. He showed the musket. "He gave it to me, saying it was a token."

Molly was confused for a moment, then solemnly opened the iron door, "I'm rude, you must be my distinguished guests, please come in."

Chen Yan weighed the gun in his hand when he heard this. It seemed that this thing should be a collection of Kress, otherwise Molly wouldn't have put down all her guard after seeing it for the first time.

But putting it this way, everything becomes even more bizarre. Is it Zhang Bulu who is looking for him, or is Kress looking for him?
No clue at all.

"Despicable Kress! I will die with you!"

Just as several people were about to enter the manor, a middle-aged man with sunken eyes and messy hair suddenly broke through the thick fog and ran over with murderous intent.

[White·50 years old·Vagrant]

"Damn you reckless man! Madam, don't worry! I will defend your safety to the death!"

Wine Barrel stretched out his arms and stood in front of Molly with a determined gaze.

"Mr. Warrior, your belly is so cute."

Molly whispered something into his ear. The old man's unique fishy breath, instead of the warm and lingering warmth in his ears, made him tremble slightly as if he was electrified.

boom!
White was walking quickly when his knees suddenly bent naturally and he knelt in front of Chen Yan, scolding: "Don't think that if you point that broken gun at me, I will be afraid of you!"

Chen Yan rubbed his musket trigger with his finger and was amused. The old Londoner had a tough mouth.

"Please put down the gun, Mr. Pirate."

Molly didn't take it seriously, walked away from the wine barrel, walked elegantly to Chen Yan, took out a gold coin from her sleeve and threw it to the ground.

"get out."

White hurriedly picked up the gold coins, ran away in a mess, ran far away, and shouted: "Next time! I will definitely kill Kress!"

Chen Yan looked at the place where he disappeared and asked, "Does this person have a grudge against Mr. Lesk?"

Molly smiled, "He's just a gangster. When the master built this manor, the construction workers accidentally touched his mother's tombstone. He said that he had hurt the soul of the deceased, so he used this as an excuse and often came to blackmail her."

After hearing this, Chen Yan sneered inwardly. Lesk was one of the richest men in London, yet he was willing to endure the threat of a homeless man. There was no secret behind it.

This Lesk is getting more and more interesting, but he doesn't have much time now, otherwise he would follow up and find out what happened.

"David, you go follow him and don't let him interfere with my conversation with Mr. Lesk."

"Ah... Captain, let the barrel go."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you two bastards keep chattering together, I'll shoot you to death!"

Seeing the sudden change in Chen Yan's expression, David hurriedly separated from John, not daring to say anything more, and set off to chase White.

"Cute young man." Molly smiled and led the three of them into the manor.

Lesk Manor covers a vast area, almost like a small town, with farmland, mansions, and gardens.

At the end of the manor, a huge castle-like building stands proudly, like a square monster breathing thick fog.

Chen Yan carefully observed the movement around him and found no sign of anyone moving. The manor was as deserted as a ghost.

"The situation is very chaotic now. I think the manor should prepare more talent insurance."

Molly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pirate, the manor is protected by gods, and robbers cannot enter."

"Oh?" Chen Yan suddenly thought of the angel mentioned by Jin, and asked casually: "I heard from Zhang Bulu that Mr. Lesk also invited friends from the church this time. I wonder if they have arrived?"

Molly was stunned unconsciously, and then said meaningfully: "The church is my most loyal friend. Of course they are here, and they are everywhere."

Chen Yan said nothing more. Currently, this was the only way he could get in touch with the parliament.

The few people walked towards the castle in silence. Wine Barrel stared at Molly's body wrapped in a waistband, unable to look away.

Madam...it's so perfect.

On the first floor of the castle, in the living room.

The dry pine wood in the fireplace was peeling and burning, and the nearby crimson decorations were shimmering, the shadows were pushed to the corners, and the high ceiling became even darker.

Molly led Chen Yan and the others into the hall, and arranged for them to sit down beside the wall lined with oil paintings. "I'm going to inform the master. Mr. Captain, please wait a moment."

"Thank you." She turned around and walked upstairs along the mahogany stairs.

When her figure disappeared around the corner, the wine barrel immediately jumped up from the sofa and said excitedly: "Did you see it? Under the light of the fire, every wrinkle on the lady's face is as beautiful as the wrinkles of flowers."

"Flowers? They look like rags soaked in sewage." John said sarcastically, and then his eyes were attracted to the oil paintings beside him. "If we can sell two of these exquisite works of art, we won't have to go to sea for several years."

Chen Yan crossed his legs, took out the compass, and spent ten talismans to search. After dozens of seconds, a prompt appeared.

[Discovered a rare treasure, located at Lex Manor]

Zhang Bulu didn't lie, there really is a treasure here.

Chen Yan had a thought in his mind and looked at the oil paintings on the wall with his punishing eyes, but all the information displayed were "fake".

He smiled, this Kress is indeed interesting.

When his eyes glanced at a painting, it felt as if a steel needle had fallen into his pupils, causing his eyes to sting.

Chen Yan immediately closed his vertical eyes and stared intently.

Among the colorful works on the wall, a dark painting stands out.

Strictly speaking, it's not a painting, it's just a canvas covered in black ink.

He stood up and walked towards the painting, from which a sharp gaze erupted just now.

A line of golden inscriptions was outlined in the corner of the canvas. When Chen Yan approached, the English words changed into Chinese characters.

"I'm in a nutshell, but I still think I'm the king of the universe! - "Hamlet""

Barrel and Bob followed, stared at the picture frame, and began to pray devoutly.

"What are you doing?"

The two looked at each other with endless respect in their eyes, and said in unison: "Captain, we are showing respect to God."

"God?"

Chen Yan looked at the painting again and couldn't help but sigh.

The dark ink disappeared without knowing when, and the image of Jehovah was clearly printed on it.

This place is so weird. He raised his hand and poked a big hole in the canvas, but nothing unusual happened.

But what surprised him was that the two wine barrels, who had just expressed great respect for God, seemed extremely calm when they saw the portrait being destroyed.

The previous attitudes of the two people seemed to be staged.

In other words, their God is the layer of ink that was just pasted on the painting, not the current Jehovah.

boom!The wooden door of the castle was suddenly knocked open, and David rushed in and threw himself on the ground. Thick fog curled like waves followed and swept into the house.

The two wine barrels hurried forward and helped him up. Chen Yan suppressed his doubts and asked, "What did you find?"

David was trembling. He touched his hair after hearing this, and said sheepishly: "Sorry, Captain, I lost you... But I made a new discovery. People from the chimney rally are here! About seven or eight people, all with guns in their hands. , full of murderous intent, as if he wants revenge!"

John looked panicked, "Damn it, Jin must have betrayed us! Captain, what should we do now?"

There were lice all over his body, so of course he picked the big ones first. Chen Yan looked around.

Even if the church cannot be found in the remaining time, the treasures hidden in the manor must be dug out!
"Don't forget what we are here to do, split up and pick out the valuable ones for me!"

When the three heard this, their fear suddenly disappeared.

Yes, they came to rob, and they just ran away after taking it. Why worry so much? They might be able to blame the Chimney Party.

Everyone took action immediately. There were doors on both sides of the living room, leading to other rooms on the first floor. David and John were responsible for searching here.

Chen Yan walked straight up the stairs, using his keen hearing to observe the movements around him. He wanted to see this Kress first.

He walked all the way to the fourth floor and stopped at the end of the stairs. The beige corridor illuminated by candlesticks was silent and without any sound.

Chen Yan discovered that not only did he not hear any movement from Kress along the way, but it seemed that even Molly, who had gone upstairs before, had disappeared.

Suddenly, several screams sounded from outside the castle.

With a serious look on his face, he pushed open the wooden door in front of him, entered a large study room, took seven or eight steps to the window and looked down.

"Damn!"

"What the hell is this!"

"Who can come and save us!"

The hard stone road in front of the castle seemed to have turned into a bottomless swamp.

Under the night cover and in the thick fog, several tall and thick-set men looked frightened.

Their lower bodies were stuck in the ground, and they were still sinking. Chen Yan's eyes were stern.

He recognized at a glance that several of them were the Chimney Man with whom he had a run-in at the Nightingale Tavern.

Soon, all these people were swallowed up by the strange earth.

Between the stone cracks, the wild grass swayed in the wind, intact.
