I'm a villain, not a devil

This most notorious alpine manor in the imperial capital really looks like it is built on a mountain. It even gives people a feeling of climbing up the imperial mountain.

The cliff was violently destroyed. Bai Ye couldn't help but glance at Sean, but Sean just looked at the steel monster he created with excitement and didn't express anything else.

The cliff was plowed flat with a loud noise, but Bai Ye still heard Luo Xi's disdainful voice beside him.

"Tsk, this guy's means of winning people's hearts are still so direct."

She couldn't help but look over, and then turned her head and said calmly: "This is not the first time he has done this, and both he and I know it very well - but even if I know that this is his means of buying me, I still fall into it unconsciously. Is this probably the sincerity of the bad guy?"

Luo Xi sneered: "When you think so, Sean's goal has been achieved."

Bai Ye just rolled up her hair. She was originally very delicate, and coupled with the elegant and cold temperament she had cultivated since childhood, just a casual movement made people unable to take their eyes away.

"Then you specifically reminded me, is it to make me beware of Sean or you?"

Luo Xi narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she was a princess, the ghost place of Rainbow Nest was really not a place to raise people. In terms of other things, she never thought that she would lose to others, but this kind of elegant temperament was indeed something she would never have.

Of course, she didn't think she needed it.

Bai Ye's reaction was quite interesting.

Combined with the previous actions, Luo Xi immediately concluded that Sean, the bastard, should have slept with the princess several times, and the latter was probably willing.

She smiled slightly: "There is no need, just familiar."

Bai Ye subconsciously continued: "Familiar?"

Luo Xi had an indifferent and slightly helpless expression: "After all, Sean has used these methods on me too many times, just reminding you not to be like me, always becoming his victim."

Bai Ye turned his head away seemingly indifferently: "Thank you for your reminder."

"You're welcome."

The conversation between the two was almost inaudible in the noise, but this was not a problem for Sean.

Just like the two of them were confronting each other, this was not a problem for Sean.

He just raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pretending that he didn't hear it.

The monster transformed by the steel deck finally destroyed most of the cliff, and they also saw the full picture of this alpine manor.

A large area at the edge was fenced off, and it was probably where the queen fell.

As soon as Bai Ye took a step forward, she saw Sean waving his hand casually, and the area that was strictly prohibited from entering and leaving was swept by an invisible gust of wind, and it was blown clean in an instant, no different from other places.

A trace of relief flashed in the princess's eyes, and then she quickly followed Sean's pace.

Luo Xi, who fell behind, raised his cheeks and said inwardly: "Despicable", and then followed.

This alpine manor covers a large area, but after the owner of the manor died, most of the place was closed. The yard that should have been lush with flowers and plants is now overgrown with weeds, and there is a gloomy atmosphere in the corners.

Bai Ye followed behind and said, "This manor finally fell into the hands of the White Rose Family, that is, Grand Duke Wen Qie. They basically emptied all the valuable resources in the manor, leaving only an empty shell, but there have always been people guarding it nearby."

Sean poked his head out to look around, and said casually, "The people guarding it have all died... Hey, is that the main gate? Let's go, so we don't have to climb through the window."

Sure enough, this guy's style of doing things... The two girls shook their heads at the same time and quickly followed.

There was no one in the empty manor, and the area of ​​this place was exaggerated to a certain extent.

Although they were just walking slowly, Sean and his friends were still much faster than ordinary people. Even so, it took them a few minutes to reach the main gate.

"Is your grandfather's manor equivalent to half of the palace?" Sean said in amazement.

Bai Ye had a blank expression on his face: "I never called him grandpa. To be precise, I have only seen him a few times. I just remember that he was an old man with a very long beard."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the main entrance.

The steps in front of the main entrance were fifty or sixty in length, and the width was wide enough for several cars to drive side by side.

Walking up, there was a special seal on the gilded door, and next to the seal there was a small seal with a white rose symbol.

Sean just snapped his fingers, then tore the seal and walked in.

Even though he was well-informed, Sean couldn't help but sigh after walking in.

"Oh my... No wonder you always want to take back the inheritance. Your mother's family foundation is really strong, right?"

In the hall with a height of more than ten meters, even if it was covered with dust, you could still see all kinds of gorgeous and expensive decorations. The paintings and statues on display had been moved away long ago, but even so, the bases left behind were all golden.

Even Luo Xi asked in confusion: "Although they are royal relatives and hold high positions, this is too extravagant, isn't it? The emperor has the final say in the empire. Can he allow such an aristocratic family to exist?"

Bai Ye nodded: "My mother's surname is Ye, so my name comes from that. The Ye family's genealogy has three grand dukes, six marquises, twenty-seven earls and countless viscounts and barons. At its peak, they had great say in the military. Otherwise, the Ye family would not be qualified to build such a large mountain manor without being held accountable."

Sean thoughtfully said: "I don't know the information here, I have only heard of some of the glorious history of the Ye family in those days-tsk, according to this, your father's rise also had the help of his father-in-law, right?"

Bai Ye continued: "Of course, in addition to the emperor's uncle and father, there were other princes and princesses who competed for the throne in those days, and on the way to my father's throne, the Ye family almost helped him with all their strength, which is also the reason why the Ye family is confident enough. I remember that before my mother passed away, she told me that the Ye family was one of the few families that had been passed down from the beginning to the present."

"Tsk, it's an old-fashioned aristocratic family, but the people are gone, and now there are not many people who remember the Ye family." Sean smiled.

Bai Ye walked to the center of the hall, where there was a huge and gorgeous chandelier. Even though it had been covered in dust for more than ten years, you could still see the luxurious gems hanging everywhere.

"My grandpa was hanged on this chandelier." She said calmly.

Sean walked over and looked up: "That's quite strenuous, right? It's so high, and you have to climb a ladder to hang yourself."

Bai Ye: "...My grandpa should have been a strong man at the Crimson level when he was alive."

Sean shrugged: "Whether your grandpa committed suicide or felt guilty, he died. The dead Crimson is just a dead person - by the way, does your family have any basement or something like that?"

Bai Ye shook her head: "I have never been here. I have been to several other manors of the Ye family several times, but they have all been sold now, leaving only this high mountain manor. However, I have inquired about the news. After Bai Qiangwei took control of this place, she searched it almost completely."

Sean nodded thoughtfully and walked inside.

After passing through several corridors and a courtyard inside the manor, he finally walked into a huge room.

The decoration of this place is also luxurious, but compared with that, this place seems very private. There are boxes everywhere, and some screens and telescopes are left in the boxes.

Looking out of the window of the box, you can see a huge one-way glass, and this one-way glass is probably specially treated and has multi-directional refraction. Looking out, you can see part of the cliff.

"Maybe this is the place where the gentlemen enjoy themselves." Sean raised some weird arcs at the corners of his mouth.

Luo Xi, who had gone to check other places, also came over. She looked at Sean and shook her head: "I've checked. There are only a few places with energy fluctuations. They are all some leftover machines or high-energy items, but I didn't find anything wrong."

Bai Ye also showed some doubts: "I thought there were some clues on the cliff, but I didn't see any traces."

Sean asked: "What about under the deck?"

Bai Ye said: "I had someone secretly investigate many years ago. Under the deck is just an ordinary rock layer. Those sinks for cleaning are just leading to the sewer pipes. If you look at your investigation results, maybe it leads to the big pit underground?"

Sean nodded: "It's possible... However, according to the current situation, Grand Duke Yuantie may not be lying to you. Your mother did not die accidentally."

Bai Ye's eyes flickered, and then he said: "Then I'll go and deal with them. I just don't know where their information channels come from."

Sean didn't say anything, just stood in front of the one-way glass and observed.

Neither girl made a sound to interrupt until Sean looked up and Luo Xi asked, "What is hidden in this glass?"

"Glass is normal...but it is abnormal because it is normal..."

Sean held his chin and squinted his eyes: "Alpine Manor is indeed a product of those masters seeking excitement, but people die at a fixed place every day. They die with greed for wealth and despair of life...even because there are too many deaths, there is man-made pollution here, and eventually the queen was killed."

"The process is the same, but there is only one thing that doesn't make sense..."

Bai Ye's breathing became a little faster.

Luo Xi glanced at her, then looked at Sean, and said directly: "The queen did not die accidentally, it seems that everything has been foreshadowed...so, did the emperor kill the queen?"

Bai Ye's breathing became more and more rapid.

However, a hint of inexplicable color flashed in Sean's eyes: "You can say that...but the point that doesn't make sense is not this."

"Not this?" Luo Xi showed a puzzled look.

Sean pointed outside, where the cliff had been completely destroyed by Sean's previous actions.

"The refraction of one-way glass is not a problem for modern technology, but it is inevitable that additional refraction glass needs to be installed - according to the angle, the glass should be on the opposite side."

The other two looked over when they heard this. Although they couldn't see it here, they knew from their memory that the place Sean pointed to was the slum.

Sean held his chin up: "For the masters, it is easy to requisition the land of the slum to put some things, but the problem is that there is no angle..."

"No angle?" Bai Ye and Luo Xi were stunned for a moment, and then both of them reacted, "Because there are no high points in the slums?"

Sean nodded: "Yes, there are no high points... Of course, the masters certainly don't want to see someone in the slums who can be "on an equal footing" with themselves, so it is understandable to spend more on equipment... But what I can't understand is..."

He smiled: "The abandoned mountain manor obviously has no need to be maintained, but this one-way glass looks too clear."

Too clear... Bai Ye and Luo Xi both showed thoughtful expressions.

Indeed, looking from here, the refracted cliff scene is still clear.

Although there are some stains on the glass, this is only left by no one taking care of it for many years, but why is the scene reflected from the outside so clear? This shows that the equipment outside that reflects this place has been under maintenance.

However, those devices are most likely installed in the slums-equipment that has no use value will not be maintained normally, and residents of the slums will pick up unattended equipment early.

The two girls couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Someone has been maintaining the equipment outside?

This place should have been abandoned...

Knowing that the two girls had figured out the abnormal points, Sean walked to the one-way glass and knocked gently.

"Noah, can you calculate the angle of refraction?" he asked in his mind.

"Please wait... The calculation is completed."

"Excluding unreasonable options, a total of 27 refraction schemes have been selected. The locations where the equipment needs to be installed in those schemes have all been sent to you, Saint Three."

Sean nodded silently, and then asked again: "There are other high mountain manors on the map I entered for you before?"

"Of course, Saint Three."

"According to the cliff angles of those high mountain manors, assuming that there are similar one-way glasses in the manors, continue to calculate based on this premise."

"Please wait... The calculation is completed."

"Saint Three, All the plans were screened, and I noticed that among all the plans of all the alpine manors, there was one plan that could be used universally, and the installation location of its equipment was exactly the same. "

Sean smiled: "Sure enough... Let me guess, it should be the edge of the slums, right?"

"Yes, Saint Three, and you are very familiar with that place."

"The former site of the Golden Dawn, the Gate of Dawn that can be reached by climbing up, echoes the highest Imperial Mountain in the imperial capital - and currently, the 'Founding Statue' is being built above the site."
