Lord of Secrets

Lying with open eyes...

Ubermo usually doesn't tell Banky what he's going to do when he goes out, and Banky won't ask specifically. ♦♦  ♦♡

In addition, this time, it was Ubermo who came to Triss's house and got on the carriage together. Even though there are usually maids in the exchange, they don't know where the two are going.

"Then what danger do Ifedes think I'm in?" Ubermo thought for a moment, and then asked.

Ifedes replied: "It's a bit dangerous inside Saint-Yer Manor. I'm not afraid that you might accidentally step into a trap and lose your life."

"Saint-Yer Manor is not dangerous, and I will protect Amon-Ra." Ilse said with her eyes wide open.

From Ilse's words, Ubermo guessed that the other party rarely went to Saint-Yer Manor, and didn't have any deep feelings, otherwise he should have said "my home".

Ifedes ignored Ilse's gaze.

Triss raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Yifedes, do you know more about Saint-Yere Manor than I do?"

Yifedes stroked the ends of her hair and replied softly: "Maybe I really know more than you."

Triss did not refute. She was like this. Under normal circumstances, she might reply a few words, even if it was a stranger, but the other party must speak first.

When facing Yifedes, Ubermo guessed that Triss was in a weird situation, that is, sometimes she would speak, but sometimes she was too lazy to answer.

It's not that Triss was speechless, but she didn't care at all and didn't want to speak.

...

But at least, when talking to Triss, if it involves some things that cannot be said, the other party may conceal or answer vaguely.

Basically, she will not lie.

But Yifedes is the opposite. She speaks half-truths and half-lies. There is really some information hidden in it, but whether to believe it or not is another matter.

So at this time, Ubermo didn't know how deep the involvement of Yifedes and the Saint-Yere family was.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ivdes, then joked: "Iv, if a woman has too many secrets, men will stay away from her."

Ubermo really couldn't see through Ivdes, she was a dangerous person.

After all, the unknown is what people fear.

A gleam flashed in her brown eyes, and Ivdes raised her lips and said slowly: "No, Amon-Ra, women with secrets will attract men to flock to them. But if it were you, maybe I would slowly share the secret with you."

Ubermo didn't know how much truth there was in Ivdes' words, but for Ivdes, Ubermo's countermeasures have always been to keep a distance and wait for the other party to contact him, so that he could take the initiative as much as possible.

Every chat is not without intention, and even has hidden secrets. This is also a way for Ubermo to gradually test the other party.

Maybe it's time to ask Sgullen...Ubermo instantly had an idea in his mind. Sgullen definitely knows Ivdes.

Of course, maybe he only knows that "Sander", not "Ivdes". Just like now Ubermo is just "Amon-Ra" instead of "Loki".

Who knows how many identities Ifides has?

Of course Ubermo also has many identities, and it is precisely because of personal experience that he is a little wary of Ifides.

However, it seems that there is another person who knows Ifides better, that is Triss, but Ubermo is not sure whether she will tell.

But it's okay to ask if there is a chance.

...

In response to Ifides' provocation, Ubermo joked: "I hope it's some useful secrets, not what color pajamas you like to wear every night."

Ifides pursed her red lips and said bluntly: "Black!"

It's open enough... Ubermo didn't know how to continue the conversation.

At this time, Triss interrupted and said: "Ifides, it's dangerous to run carriages side by side. We have come to this point in the chat. I have to trouble you to follow us."

Triss didn't ask if what Ifides said before was true, because she knew the other party very well. This time it should not be a coincidence. Ifides is indeed going to Saint-Yer Manor.

Therefore, Triss spoke this time just to make the other party shut up and stay behind her to eat dust. After all, even if Triss is as plain as she is, she always keeps a distance from people like Ifrodice.

Ifrodice blinked her eyes slightly, her eyebrows curved down, and said: "It is indeed a bit dangerous. For the safety of Amon-Ra, I'd better pay attention to it from behind."

Then, she turned her head and said loudly to the front: "We are following them from behind."

The coachman lowered the speed immediately after hearing this.

...

Ubemo's heart is as clear as a mirror. Ifrodice is not just provoking Triss. This is more like a teasing, a joke that she likes to play on the taciturn Triss.

After waiting for a while, Ubemo said: "Can you tell me about Ifrodice?"

Triss did not show any extra expression, but was silent for a while, and then said: "She is a mysterious woman. I remember seeing her when I was a child, in the manor."

Ubemo understood that this manor should be Saint-Yer Manor.

Of course, unlike the ordinary nobles today who like to hold banquets in their own manors, families with a long history like the Saint-Yer family have run their family residence like an iron barrel, hiding many secrets.

Under normal circumstances, people will not be allowed in easily. Even if a banquet is held, it will be held in other manors unless it is something major.

So, since Ivdes has entered the Saint Yer Manor, it means that the other party may have a matching identity.

As for this identity, it is not a simple so-called status, but something that makes the Saint Yer family feel special. For example, Ubermo can enter now because of Ilse.

Before that, he was just a treasure hunter and a historian.

In short, the longer these families have existed, the more stubborn and corresponding rules they have in some aspects.

"What about her age?" Ubermo asked.

He was not worried that these words would be heard by Ivdes behind him. This was not a serious problem.

Triss shook her head and said, "I don't know. I only know that the other party's face at that time has not changed until now."

Triss said this without any other tone. It is not impossible in this extraordinary world.

And Ubermo didn't show any surprise. He only needed to know one thing, that is, Ivdes is an old woman, old enough to be his mother.

"In short, I only know that she has some connection with our family, and I don't care about these things too much, so I don't know much about her."

Ubermo nodded. Triss's personality is to like plainness and indifferent to many things.

Ubermo suddenly felt that maybe Ivdes knew more about the Saint Yer family than Triss, after all, Triss was really like a salted fish.

"What's the matter with Ivdes and Lake Bailing?" Then, Ubermo continued to ask.

Triss pondered for a moment and said, "It's that Sander. I can't guess what the other party is thinking, but she should just want to do that, so she did it."

Hearing Triss's words, Ubermo was a little surprised at first, and then suddenly realized. After all, with Triss's personality, maybe she really didn't know that Ivdes was Sander. Knowing this, she should have known it not long ago.

As for Triss's last sentence, Ubermo felt it was natural, but it was not just that simple.

Ivdes was like a spider. Maybe she just wanted to rest in this place, but she didn't mind weaving a big web to catch some prey.

"Do you know Lake Bailing?" Ubermo asked directly. Lake Bailing was an important role. After all, his father was a count.

Triss looked out the window and whispered, "Abandoned!"

Ubermo narrowed his eyes and didn't ask any more questions.

...

The night was completely dark.

Saint-Yer Manor is located in a remote place with few people.

Or, it is better to say that the scope of Saint-Yer Manor is so large that it is like a territory, not a manor villa in the city.

Although it is a manor, the surroundings of the house belong to the territory of the Saint-Yer family, with dense forests, lakes, and grasslands, like a complete ecosystem.

As the carriage slowly moved forward, Ubermo had noticed that someone seemed to be spying in the dark, but it was not a living person. However, Ubermo did not investigate carefully, after all, he was a guest.

At this time, Triss introduced: "There are many puppets in the manor, and they are also responsible for the chores, surveillance and security in the manor."

"In other words, the servants and guards in the manor have been replaced by these puppets?" Ubemo asked back.

Triss nodded.

Ubemo understood why Triss said before that there were few people in the manor and it was unusually deserted.

They were all fake people, without any life. No wonder Ilse didn't like this manor too much.

"Wait, after entering, I will arrange the room first, and then have dinner. If you are interested, you can walk around the manor." Triss said.

After a pause, Triss continued: "There are no other arrangements tonight. You can move freely. It is still safe in the castle. As long as you don't enter some abandoned houses."

"Is there any danger in the abandoned houses?" Ubemo asked.

For Triss, if you have questions, don't hold them back. Ask them if you want to. At least now you are familiar with them and will answer general questions.

Before Triss could answer, Ilse clenched her palms and said, "Amun-Ra, I know! I know!"

"Oh?" Ubermo looked at Ilse and said.

"Mom said that those houses are too old, there is a lot of dust inside, and they may collapse." Ilse then said with curved eyes.
