Chapter 36 The puzzle left by God

As the saying goes, there are many troubles in front of the widow. Schwab looked at the young and beautiful lady in front of him who always had red and swollen eyes and had a face like rain and pear blossoms, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No matter whether the eldest son of the Bernese family died in her hands, the eldest son of the Bernese family was also considered a romantic ghost when he looked at the soft outline, fair skin as white as milk, slender figure, and a pair of talkative blue eyes, covered by long eyelashes.

"Please get up." Although Schwab stared at her for a long time because of her curiosity about the legendary woman, it was not appropriate to salute a widow that was almost shameless. Sir Koro next to her coughed a few times to remind Schwab. At this time, Schwab reacted and quickly asked the noble lady Sissi, who was curtsy at her with her skirt.

"Thank you, the noble Count." Xixi blushed, lowered her head and covered her face with a thin veil. Her blushing face seemed to be dyed with a layer of rose color.

"Well, sorry, noble lady, I didn't mean to offend him." Schwab quickly apologized to Ms. Xixi. In fact, for Schwab, who had been used to seeing beautiful women on the street in his previous life, although Xixi was a mixture of Eastern and Western beauties, it did not make him fascinated. The reason why he was lost was just curious.

"I think the count seems to be interested in this ominous widow." said in a low voice, hugging the nobles watching the show around. In the arched hall, the buzzing echoes immediately merged into a noisy sound, and Schwab frowned.

"Let's go to the courtyard," Schwab said to Sissi.

"Okay, Lord Earl." The two walked out of the hall from the side door and walked into the courtyard with flowers. At this time, early summer was already in full swing. Various beautiful flowers bloomed, and the fresh air and the fragrance of flowers were intoxicating. Schwab led the lady who had improved mood to the pavilion in the courtyard. The green flower vines wrapped around the pillars of the pavilion, making people feel cool and poetic.

"I'm sorry, because my attitude has caused you criticism. It's my fault." Schwab sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and apologized to the beautiful lady again.

"It's not your business. After my husband's death, many things happened. I'm used to people's criticism." Sissi sat slanted on the stone bench on the other side. Although Western women were always very open in Schwab's mind, the noble lady in front of her was filled with melancholy and reserved in the Eastern way. No wonder so many men were willing to draw their swords for her.

"So what's going on? Have you really killed your husband?" Schwab asked curiously. Killing his husband in any era is a serious crime. Schwab looked at this petite woman and couldn't believe that she could kill a strong man.

"One day is the happy day for our wedding. My husband and I met when we were very young. At that time, the Bernese family and my family were family friends. We experienced suffering and joy together in countless ups and downs. People were very happy about our marriage. Even if the sound of joy would echo in my ears now," he seemed to ask about Sissi's sadness. The beauty's eyes turned red, and Schwab was helpless because she wanted to find out the situation at that time and judge the information about the treasure, so she had to harden her heart.

"How is it?" Schwab asked.

"My husband was so happy. He drank a lot of ale and ate a lot of peaches. As a result, he shouted for abdominal pain in the middle of the night. In frightened, I called everyone, but he died in the early morning. Woo~~~~." Sissi choked and said about the situation at that time. Schwab was stunned. Eating peaches could kill people.

"Then why? The people of the Bernese insisted that you killed your husband." Schwab asked in confusion.

"Perhaps I think I am an ominous woman. My husband was originally the heirs that everyone values, but now he died on the wedding night. No one in his family can accept this fact."

"This is God's will, and you can't blame anyone. But your brother loves you very much and actually rescues you from the Bernese family." Schwab sighed. Since ancient times, her beauty has been in a weak life. If her family had not intervened strongly, she would have become a lonely soul.

"Yes." Xixi didn't know why she said so much to this strange count, which may be because of the youth of this count, or because she was moved by the sincerity of the other party without any prejudice. Although she was protected by her family, the misunderstanding and criticism of her by the world made her misunderstanding and criticism of her, but the noble count was willing to talk to her, which made the beautiful widow feel much better.

"You call your sister here, you can't just want to seduce the Count." Srick said to the little Lunel hiding beside him. The brother of Sissi was eavesdropping on the side without any grace, but Srick immediately found him patted his shoulder.

"Hey, how could that be? Haha, but don't you think my sister is very compatible with the Earl?" Little Lunel said to Srick with a smirk, but the gloomy spy leader shook his head without hesitation. It's a joke that the noble Earl would marry a widow. If it's a higher status and more wealth, that's another matter, but this Ms. Sissi can't meet this standard.

"It is said that your family owns the secret of the Borro Longgen treasure. Is this true?" Srick asked.

"This is a complete rumor, a man-made rumor who is dissatisfied with our family, in order to frame my sister for killing her husband." Little Lunell denied.

"Really? No one knows this news." Srick stared at Little Lunell, his gaze that made the young noble shudder.

"How did you know?" Finally thinking about this news, no one except the Bernese family and his own family, so Little Lunell had to admit it. You must know that Schwab's power is at its peak in Stocking County, and he has sinned the spy leader. He doesn't know what kind of disaster it will bring to his family.

"Don't worry about how I know, I should know that I can become the spy leader of the Count. I still have my own intelligence network."

"It's so damn." Little Lunell cursed in a low voice.

"Do you know? You should know what kind of disaster will be like when you keep a secret that is not in line with your own strength in this dangerous era." Srick threatened Lünelle, and Schwab and Sissi left the courtyard together. Srick and Lünelle hurriedly hid aside.

"Okay, but so what if you know, that's a legend from hundreds of years ago. We just got a strange map. As a sailing trade, the Lunel family has been to many places for generations, but we have never seen this place before. Maybe it's just something that some crazy guy can doodle."

"How did you get that thing?" Srick asked with a frown.

"Well, don't tell my sister. Actually, the eldest son of the Bernese family, may God bless that unlucky young man. He was not killed by my sister. He did die of bloating because of eating too much peaches and ale. At that time, when I was helping my sister take care of this unlucky young man, I saw the pendant on his neck. The pattern on it was three-headed dragon. I remembered that there was this strange pattern in our family's documents, so I took the pendant."

"It's stolen."

"Whatever you want, anyway, I later discovered the map inside while playing. The thing was drawn on a piece of human skin. No, maybe it wasn't. I thought it was like a tattoo, and I was stripped down by someone else." Little Lunel felt a disgusting mentality when he said this. Although he did not see dead people rarely, this bad way of preserving maps made him still not used to the thing.

"So," Srick didn't care and urged.

"Later, the Bernese family discovered that their eldest son's neck was gone, so they decided that my sister was a spy and stole their treasures."

"So, although they knew it was about the treasure of Berrolong, they could not find the exact location."

"That's right."

"Get that map to Fort Oshevik," Srick ordered, then turned around and ignored the young nobleman.

"Even if you give it to you, it's useless." Little Lunel muttered and left the courtyard. The quiet courtyard seemed to have never entered it, and it was peaceful and beautiful.

Then Schwab received a report from Srick in his room. He touched the crystal neck on his neck and fell into deep thought. The neck was another neck pendant. What was the connection there was, why did it react with his divine power, and what was the meaning of being abandoned into this world?

"Sir, what are you going to do?" Srick asked.

"I have no idea yet to let him bring that map. Don't let the Bernese family know about this. You continue to send people to monitor the local nobles."

"Okay, Count, I will bring that map." Srick bowed to Schwab and left Schwab's room, leaving only the Earl who had fallen into the past alone.

"God, what do you want me to do? I took away my beloved woman and left so many puzzles. If God really exists, I bet that he must be a hateful little devil."
