Chapter 81 Encounter
Upper Igwent, on the northern bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Tieni River.
At noon, a carriage was moving slowly on the street along the river bank. The corpse Brandon was sitting in the carriage, being taken by the communion's contact person all the way to the communion's base. Far behind the carriage, the carriage that Dorothy was riding in was following from a distance.
Sitting in the carriage, Dorothy controlled the puppet while observing the situation around the carriage. She saw that the roads around were neat and tidy, the trees were lush, and there were exquisite single-family houses with small gardens beside the roads. The front door of each household was an iron fence gate with a front yard and garden. The occasional passers-by were dressed beautifully and appropriately.
"This is the Yinhebin District. That Buck seems to have some status."
Looking at the scene outside the car window, Dorothy thought so. Silver Shores was the wealthy area of Igwynte. The Iron River that ran through the city would be heavily polluted by industrial and domestic wastewater from the middle reaches, and it would gradually become turbid and smelly. Therefore, only the middle and upper reaches of the river bank in the urban area were livable, and Silver Shores was the longest section here, so it attracted many wealthy people in the city to live here.
The people living here all have relatively wealthy family backgrounds in Igwynte, and Buck is no exception. At this time, Dorothy has begun to gear up and is eager to start anti-cult work.
Her goal is to raid Buck's house before the Security Bureau!
In this way, with Dorothy following all the way, Brandon's carriage finally reached its destination, an exquisite three-story house built by the river.
"Wow... this guy's house is really big, probably three times bigger than that Burton's house, and it's even bigger than that shabby bookstore on Pearl Street. It seems that among the current group of communion leaders, this Buck is the most prestigious one."
Looking at Buck's mansion through Brandon's vision, Dorothy sighed slightly and said, then Brandon's carriage drove through an iron gate into the yard of Buck's mansion and finally stopped in front of the gate of the house.
Seeing this, the corpse Brandon took the car with his suitcase and entered the beautifully decorated lobby under the guidance of the doorman.
"Master Buck has arranged that if Mr. Brandon comes, you should wait for him in the study. He will come back after dealing with the dogs. I will lead the way for you." At this time, a man in the form of a butler appeared in front of Brandon. Brandon nodded and said.
"Thank you so much."
Then, Brandon, led by the housekeeper, walked up the stairs and headed upstairs. During this time, Dorothy manipulated Brandon to inadvertently look around.
"There aren't many remaining troops. Including the coachman, there seem to be only three or four people. It seems that most of the minions have been transferred to the flooded docks to fight ambushes... That's right."
As Dorothy watched and thought, she came across a room filled with large porcelain vases and glass display cases containing many handicrafts.
"There are so many porcelains and glasses... Is this a collection room? It seems that this guy has a hobby of collecting things, but it's a pity that it's too troublesome to move these large vases that are arranged in rows. Otherwise, I wonder how much they would be worth if they were all sold?"
While Dorothy was thinking about how to help Buck sell his property, she manipulated Brandon to follow the butler. When the butler saw Brandon's eyes linger on the glass and porcelain room next to him, he spoke.
"This is Master Buck's collection room."
"I see. They are all very beautiful..."
Brandon nodded, and soon the corpse Brandon was taken to a large study by the butler, and then the butler continued to speak.
"Mr. Brandon, please wait here for a moment. The master and his men should be back soon. I will go downstairs to prepare for the Eucharist for the gathering later."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Brandon responded, and the butler turned around and prepared to walk out of the room. Just as the butler turned his back to Brandon, Brandon's face suddenly darkened. He took two steps forward, covered the butler's mouth, took out a knife and cut his throat directly.
The butler, whose mouth was covered, whimpered twice in shock, and then gradually lost his breath. Then, with the intervention of the spiritual power of the "cup", his wounds stopped bleeding, his expression became dull, and his whole body was completely transformed into a corpse.
'After you solve one, there should be two or three left. Once you have solved all of them, you can start collecting without any worries.'
Dorothy thought so while sitting in a carriage on the street not far from the Buck mansion. Just as she was about to command the two zombies to slaughter the entire stronghold from the inside out, an unexpected voice was transmitted to her ears through the zombies' hearing.
"Master Buck is back!"
The servant's voice was heard downstairs in the study, and Dorothy started suddenly.
"Back? So soon? No... shouldn't these guys have been ambushed by the hunters? Haven't they been killed on the flooded dock yet? ! "
Dorothy thought in astonishment, but she did not slow down the operation in her hands. She asked the butler to lift the scarf to cover the wound on his neck, let Buck sit in the study, and directed the butler to go out. Not long after, she saw Clifford covered in blood and Buck covered in dust walking up the stairs.
"Huh...Huh...I'm finally back, but the others should be gone, ugh! Who the hell leaked the information? When did the Security Bureau plant a spy on our side... Ugh..."
Leaning on a crutch, Clifford complained as he spoke, his expression showing great pain. His body was covered in blood, and he was seriously injured after being hit by Turner's iron-flake shotgun at close range. Although he was wearing iron armor at the time, which blocked a large part of the damage, the part that was not blocked by the armor was embedded in his body by a large number of tiny iron pieces. The intense pain made it difficult for him to move.
"Hiss... Damn it... I need to find a place to pull all those things out."
"Maybe it's not a spy in the Security Bureau. If there really is a spy among us in the Security Bureau, we would have been ambushed again as soon as we came back. Now that the base has been returned, it is said that the Security Bureau didn't know about this place before the action. Maybe that mysterious organization tipped off the Security Bureau again..."
Walking beside Clifford, Buck said that compared to Clifford, he did not appear to have any obvious injuries, his expression was serious and his steps were steady.
"But it's still not very safe here now. Things are not going well recently. Pack up the important things and evacuate Igwinter temporarily. We'll talk about it later."
Buck said, and at this time the butler passed by not far from him and said respectfully.
"Master Buck..."
"Do you smell a bit of blood?" Buck said to the familiar butler in front of him, and the butler responded.
"Ah, it's like this, Mr. Brandon was injured when he escaped, I was just bandaging his wound, he is now waiting for the master in the study."
Listening to the butler's words, Buck nodded and then gave instructions.
"Well, go down immediately and tell everyone else in the house to prepare the carriages to evacuate. I'll be down in ten minutes."
"yes……"
The butler responded, then turned and went downstairs. Buck and Clifford pushed open the door of the study and walked in to see Brandon, who was resting on a chair with his right hand wrapped in a bandage.
"Mr. Barker."
