Chapter 974: Pretending to be stupid to the end

The crowd in West Germany stood stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at the only outsider—it was Brando.

Brando also looked like he had just woken up from the dazzle just now, glanced at the West German group, and wanted to reprimand the other party and ask the other party to apologize for slandering him, but seeing the murderous eyes of West Germany, he rationally dispelled this idea.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "What, there doesn't seem to be anything going on here, since you don't trust me either, then ...... I'll leave first. Well, leave first, and see you again when you have a chance. ”

With a wave of his left hand, he covered the wound on his right shoulder and walked out of the forest.

Sid looked at Brando's back until he disappeared, and said nothing. After that, his body shook and he knelt on one knee like a landslide, and his whole body trembled violently. The blood-red glow on the armor faded, and blood continued to ooze from under the skin, which was the price of activating the magic pattern with life force many times—more painful than spell backlash.

In pain, Sid looked at where Richard used to be, and then at where the eldest lady Anne was, and felt powerless in his heart, and then at a loss.

He had no idea where Richard had taken Anne, let alone how he could get her back.

His emotions were very complicated, and finally he clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead flareted up, like the roar of a wounded beast, and he said, "Ah, damn spy wizard, I will definitely find you where you are." I'm going to find you, get the lady back, and then kill you, kill you!"

......

In fact, Richard didn't go anywhere, and only came to Manor Six with the eldest lady, Anne, which was also where West Germany was supposed to come.

Because of this, Richard wanted to get the other party to cooperate, but the other party refused to live or die, so he had to come first.

Estate Six.

At night, the huge No. 6 Manor is as quiet as a cemetery.

Richard led Anne into the door of the manor, and all he could hear was the howling of the wind like a ghost crying, and the swaying of branches in the distant woods.

A few hundred meters ahead, three dilapidated stone buildings stood like tombstones, and the one on the left had a faint light floating from the windows on the second floor, which should have been lit by an oil lamp in the room. But the light was extremely unstable, bright or dim, like the last breath of a dying man, just like the terrible situation of the Pombo family right now.

Richard stared at the stone building for a few seconds, then retracted his gaze to look at Anne beside him.

At this time, Anne's cheeks were tense, her brows were furrowed, her lips were pursed, and although she was quietly staying by her side, her face was full of expressions of unwillingness to cooperate. If it weren't for the fact that on the road, Richard fully demonstrated his strength, and would have pounced and bitten people a long time ago. Even so, the gaze in his eyes seemed to be saying viciously: Although, I can't beat you, but ...... I'm not afraid of you!

Richard shook his head lightly and said to Anne, "Alright, Manor Six is here, take me to find the big man who lives in seclusion here." ”

"Big man, what big man?" said Anne, with a puzzled expression, "this is just an abandoned manor of my family, and there is no one. ”

Richard exhaled lightly, looked at Anne and said, "Miss Anne, it's all this time, and it's not interesting to pretend to be stupid." ”

"There's really no one on this estate. Anne insisted.

"Nobody, are you sure? Nobody, it's not my guess, but you said it yourself. Richard said softly, "Before, didn't you say that you brought the West Germans to Manor Six to look for support?"

"This ......," Anne froze.

"Alright, take me there. Richard said.

Anne's body writhed uneasily a few times, and finally as if she had made a decision, she looked at Richard and said with a serious face: "You know, I told Sid before that I came here to find someone, and I lied to him. There's really no one here, I don't know anything about it. ”

I look like it, is it really so easy to deceive...... Richard looked at Anne speechless, but guessed Anne's thoughts.

The other party was just worried that he might pose a threat to Alan Pombo and ruin the Pombo family's hope of a final comeback, so he didn't want to take him there.

All right.

Sighing in his heart, Richard looked at Anne and said, "Since you don't want to take me there, then I'll take you there." ”

"Huh?" Anne was stunned.

Richard stepped up and walked towards the stone tower: "Follow me." ”

"Uh......"

Two minutes later.

Richard took Anne to the lighted stone building, pushed the door without hesitation, and walked into the basement.

Anne watched Richard walk into the basement as she looked more familiar than she did, with a ghostly expression.

She really wanted to ask Richard how he knew about the passage here, this was a high-level secret of the Pombo family, and only a few people knew about it except her. But she wasn't sure if Richard was really sure there was a passage, or if he was deliberately tricking her, trying to resist the urge to ask questions and not say a word.

At this time, Richard turned his head to look at Anne and asked, "It's all here, and you still insist that you don't know anything?"

Anne shook her head, revealing a blank face: "I really don't know anything. ”

"Okay. Richard sighed, stepped up, and with a "squeak", lifted a plank from the ground, revealing the entrance to the passage.

"Still don't know?" Richard asked Anne again.

The expression on Anne's face was almost uncontrollable, but in the end, she stiffened her head and responded, "Well, I still don't know. ”

"You're not as smart as I thought you were, Miss Anne. "It seems to me that under normal circumstances, you should admit it now." ”

Annie: "...... what can she do? She was already pretending to be stupid, so she had to keep pretending.

"Click, click, click......"

Footsteps sounded, and the old servant upstairs heard movement downstairs, staggered down, and entered the basement.

Walking into the basement, the old servant couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Richard and Anne, and opened his mouth to try to ask questions.

Richard pointed to the old servant and asked Anne, "His name is Feiqi, right, he is the servant of the big man here, and he has been taking care of the other party's daily life." You persuaded the other party to go back to the family residence to retire before, why, you still don't know anything?"

Anne stared at Richard with wide eyes, her mouth couldn't help but open, showing a shocked and surprised expression, and asked Richard very much, "How can you know so much". But thinking about it, she reluctantly pretended to be amnesiac about her answers to the previous questions: "Well, I still don't know." ”

The old man next to him opened his mouth and closed it, and he sensed that something was not right.

Richard said, "Okay, since you don't know anything, I won't ask you anymore, but follow me down and explore, no problem, right?"

"No ......"

"Okay, let's go. Richard took Anne and walked down the passage. After taking a few steps down, he turned his head and said to the old servant named Feiqi, "If you are interested, you can also have a piece." ”

The old servant's cloudy eyes rolled, and he didn't say anything, just nodded and followed.

......
