Sure enough, they soon discovered a secret passage connecting the city's ancient sewer system from behind the basement wall. Not far from the secret passage, they discovered warehouses and conference rooms that had been excavated and built in modern times, and even more than a dozen farmed animals were discovered.

The water ghost.

As the most common place for Bad-Eye Barry to spend the night, a small prayer room was also built in the sewer. According to the descriptions of the maids, dead fish and human bones were hung everywhere in the prayer room as offerings. It can be seen that this place is really

It was carefully managed by him.

This secret passage directly communicates with the sewer system of Green Lake City, so it is not certain where the exit at the other end of the secret passage is.

However, Megan vaguely remembered that her father, Alphonse Edwards, the third son of the fourth generation, once mentioned that the establishment of the sewer system in Green Lake City seemed to have been sponsored by the first generation lord, the starting point of the family.

While the maids went to the basement, Shade and Megan also entered the bedroom of the villa.

There is also a safe in the bedroom, and it is better hidden than the one in the study. None of the mistresses know it. But as long as you are determined to demolish the house, it is not difficult to find the safe.

Stored in this safe were some magic potions, alchemy items and letters. Megan still reached for the letters, while Shade went to check other things.

Although there are labels on those potions, Shade will definitely not drink potions obtained from enemies, and the value of alchemy items is not very high, so there is no need to use other people's things for cheap.

It was the delicate drawstring bag in the lower right corner of the safe that caught Shade's attention. After opening the bag, he found a wooden key. He was immediately delighted, but then he discovered that the key was the wrong size and not that special.

Traces of elements:

"It's not a time key."

Seeing that the adventure of "Seven Days Travel" was coming to an end, Shade thought he would encounter another key by chance.

After hearing Shade's soft sigh, Megan, who was reading the letter, glanced at him, and then saw the key in his hand:

"This is......"

The key is made of wood. On the cylindrical key post, there are short cylindrical protrusions facing in different directions. The front and back sides of the key handle are inlaid with flawless rubies and sapphires respectively. If you look at the light, you can see the man.

An illusory shadow writing with his head down in the study.

Meghan hurriedly took out the key from her pocket. When she and Shade landed on the island for the second time last week, they used the remains of the lord's wife, teeth and other items, and forged the key at the blacksmith.

Sure enough, although the materials of the two keys and the details of the key teeth are different, the size and shape are exactly the same.

"This is also the key you need? But why is it in the hands of Bad-Eye Barry?"

As he spoke, he gave the key to Megan, who was a little excited after taking it:

"Then only he knows. I didn't expect that I would get the second key like this. In addition to the keys made with your orichalcum and the black pearls from this morning, I have three keys."

"Ask him if you have a chance."

Shade didn't care and continued to rummage through the safe, but there was no further gain. However, the content of those letters was surprising. They were also correspondence between Bad-Eye Barry and the Order, but the letters were more personal.

Judging from the content of the letter, the cultist group is indeed related to a certain being on the island, and refers to him as "that gentleman". The attitude of the Drowning Order towards it is also to be cautious in cooperation, and the letter

In the letter, he repeatedly emphasized that he must not believe anything said by "that gentleman". At the same time, every time he met and talked with "that gentleman", the whole process must be informed to the sect.

"That gentleman? I guess, there is a high probability that he is your ancestor."

Shade smiled and said to Megan, who also agreed:

"Who else could it be but him?"

At the same time, the letter also revealed some other contents. For example, the letter naturally described the location of "that gentleman" as the "Central Island of Green Lake". This is consistent with the witch's investigation that there is no large number of people on the island.

The facts of the shipment of goods do not match.

"They have other collaborators."

Megan pointed to the last letter and said to Shade:

"The Order of the Drowned is responsible for communicating with the island, but in fact, the Order of the Drowned is far more involved in this matter. However, other forces cannot get in touch with 'that gentleman', so they only sponsor the Order

Some of the actions. Judging from the names mentioned here...it is certain that those involved in this matter are the followers of the evil god [Dragon Eater], and the illegal ring magician group [Tyranny Club] active in the border area - that

It’s a group of war lunatics, and the [Truth Society].”

"The Truth Society again?"

"Again? Do you know them?"

Megan asked in surprise, Shade nodded:

"I have had some unpleasant experiences with them. I heard that they were also present during the Pantanal War last winter."

"I have also had contact with them. They are crazy lunatics who pursue knowledge and wisdom. However, there are indeed a few members among them who can be called wise men. Unfortunately, if wisdom cannot be controlled, it will only lead to madness.

It’s just a shortcut.”

Of all the ring wizards Shad knew who were associated with the title of "Knowledge and Wisdom," Megan seemed to be the sane one.

In addition to this certain information, there are also some uncertain contents. In the letter sent a month ago, the sender repeatedly asked Bad Eye Barry whether he had obtained the "qualification" because he could not see the mail sent by Barry.

He didn't reply to the letter, so it's impossible to know how he replied, but Shade felt that the "qualification" mentioned here was probably that small key.

Megan could see Shade's doubts, she shook her head slightly:

"I only know that there are keys and doors. I don't know what they mean. Next time I land on the island, I can find a way to take you to the door, but I may not be able to succeed. In the morning, I said that I know those things

Where exactly the goods were transported, I think it should be where the door is. That door... does not really exist on the island. There may be more than one island in the middle of Green Lake."

After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips a little worriedly and asked Xiang Shade:

"You don't think that I've been hiding important things, do you?"

Her demeanor surprised the maid beside her.

"Absolutely not!"
