Gao Wen seemed a little surprised to see Lilith Kant's figure disappearing with Viscount Kant.

He didn't expect that Lilith Kant was also a nightmare product.

In his original inference, Lilith Kant should be a living person, the only "dream maker" in the entire castle who remained awake, but it was obvious that he made a mistake in his judgment in this regard.

He and Amber came to the huge stone hall together, and saw the two skeletons inside and the Viscountess's body that was protected by magic and still not rotten. Then he suddenly realized: Lilith Kant was really dead, perhaps to start this terrible dream-making ceremony, or perhaps to better "contact" her husband and son, she really gave up her life.

What wandered in the cellar of the North Tower, and was just her shadow, lingering in the castle with a lantern. No wonder this viscountess, as a "dreammaker", has not left the castle for thirty years. It was not that she was reluctant to leave as Gao Wen imagined, but that she could no longer leave here.

But these things are no longer important. The dream has ended. The sunshine of the real world is shining on this dark and ancient fortress. Whether it is the dream maker or the dreamer, they have returned to where they should go as the dream ends.

All they left was a mess in the real world.

Amber was still a little stunned. This incredible adventure made her mind messy (of course, her mind may be often messy). Looking at the stone hall in front of her and the three corpses in the coffin, she said for a long time: "So we have actually been entangled with three dead people for so long?"

"It was this entire land that has been entangled with them for thirty years," Gao Wen shook his head, "The Eternal Sleeper... is indeed the most dangerous of the three dark sects."

"A man crawling out of the coffin looked at three people lying in the coffin and sighed that the cult harmed people. I have never seen anything more supernatural than this in my life..." Amber didn't know what he was thinking about, but suddenly shuddered and scared herself. Then she looked down at her feet and suddenly realized, "Hey, Gao Wen, there are a few pieces of paper here!"

Several enchanted parchment papers that were emitting glimmers were scattered in front of the stone hall. This was exactly where Viscount Victor Kant disappeared before. Gao Wen picked them up in surprise and saw Viscount Kant's handwriting on it: "Is this... left by Viscount Kant?"

"What he left behind? Is it a letter for you?" Amber blinked in a daze, "Look at what it is!"

"It is indeed a letter, but not all for me, but also for the king and for public disclosure." Gao Wen looked through the parchment quickly, and the neat handwriting on it came into his sight:

"I am Viscount Victor Kant, a nobleman who was conferred by the royal family of Ansu, and the lord of the villages, manors and villages in the southern part of Kant and the surrounding areas. I swear in the name of the ancestors of the Kant family. All the things I say are true, and these facts should be made public to warn the world.

“My family was cursed by the Sleeper.

“…The cultists corrupted my territory with the evil ritual magic. Over the past thirty years, countless innocent people have died in this ritual magic. My wife is controlled by evil magic, and my soul cannot escape the curse and become its accomplice…

"...I will never be at peace without the help of Duke Gowan Cecil. The Duke responded to my request. It was his life-and-death help that lifted the curse that enveloped me and my family..."

"To your Majesty the King - your loyal vassal greets you, this will be the last secret letter I sent to you, the incident that happened in Kant's territory...

“As mentioned above, I assure you with my last humanity and my last name, everything is true.

"I have no children or immediate relatives to inherit titles and property, and so is my wife. I have only one nephew with a very long blood relationship with me, but he is innately intact and difficult to accept the glory of aristocratic people. Therefore, I am willing to return the fiefs inherited from my ancestors to the royal family in accordance with the laws of the kingdom, but before that, I must repay the kindness of Duke Cecil - this is the kindness of redeeming the soul.

"I would like to donate all the wealth under my name except the land - including the collection of books, treasures, antiques and other things in the castle, as well as the six pioneer farms in the southern part of Kant's territory, which were not fiefdoms in the south, to the Duke of Cecil, and to recognize his arbitrary disposal of these properties.

"All the wealth produced in my territory this year, besides the part that should be handed over to the royal family, is also given to the Duke of Cecil."

In addition to an open letter to the nobles in the southern border and a secret letter to the king, another letter was left to Gao Wen:

"Duke Gowan Cecil, when you see this letter, my soul should have regained peace.

"I have only joy and peace for this ending, without any resentment. If I have to say that there is something regrettable, then I am the only one who has failed to fulfill my promise - I once vowed to reverse the family's extravagance and depravity, and not to join the new generation of nobles who were brutal and cold-blooded. I also vowed to follow your generation's pioneering martyrs, open up territory, shelter refugees, and become the protectors of innocents and poor, but the end result was a mess.

“I am very glad that you appeared in time and dispelled the haze of this land before my soul completely fell into darkness and everything was irreversible.

"When I was young, I always regarded you as a role model and idol. I even yearned for being a knight, rushing into the darkness like you, and opening up a new place for my people to live. Therefore, there were six farms in the southern part of Kant, which may be the only shining light in my sad life.

"If I could change the opportunity and another way, meeting you might become the most glorious moment in my life. I would even be willing to abandon my title and all my possessions, become one of your knight apprentices in this old age, and go with you to the pioneering territory at the foot of the dark mountains to fulfill my dream that I could not fulfill when I was young... but all this could not be realized after all.

"I really couldn't think of anything else to reward you except the property in the castle and the six pioneering farms that belong to me, but I think you should be interested in some information about the cultists of the Eternal Sleeper.

"For the years, I have survived as a puppet of dreams, and even my thoughts have always been guided and controlled, but perhaps I have been exposed to the power of the Eternal Sleeper too much. The moment I finally gained my free will, I have learned some of the truth behind this 'curse'.

"Please be wary that the plot of the Eternal Sleeper is not as simple as a Kant. The sensational and terrible sacrifice they set up in this castle is actually just a 'node' in their series of plans. This node is called a computing node, and they have a huge plan, which requires more souls and more victims to participate...

"Their conspiracy may be spread throughout the world, and once this plan is successful, they will drag all the intelligent creatures in the world into an abyss that will never be restored.

"But their actions are not without traces. According to the facts I have realized, each of their "computer nodes" requires a large number of living people as "consumables". In the southern border, they may be able to slowly get enough of the ritual needs by secretly arresting refugees. However, in other places where there are fewer refugees and more perfect order, as long as they carefully observe the disappearance and movement of the population, they can find clues.

"I have reported these things to His Majesty the King, and I hope you will be alert to the revival of the cultists around you - in the south of this declining kingdom, you are already the only hope of the people.

“—Victor Kant, a sinful man who really wanted to be a good person.”

Gao Wen's eyes moved between the words and sentences, and he turned the parchment one by one until the last piece was presented to him.

Amber had sharp eyes, and at first glance it seemed that this was not a letter: "Hey! This doesn't seem to be a letter to anyone!"

"Yes, this is the order of the lord, and it was announced on the territory after signing it," Gao Wen saw the content written on it and couldn't help but sigh softly. "He exempted everyone in the territory from the debt to the Kant family, and liberated all the serfs directly under the lord and the slaves in the castle into freedom, and declared that they had the right to leave the territory freely."

Amber blinked and suddenly remembered what Gao Wen once said: "Hey, I remember you said that this kind of liberation should be progressive step by step..."

"Yes, we should proceed step by step, and directly liberating serfs into free people can only make them lose the basic guarantees provided by the landlords. If there is no perfection, the subsequent land distribution and security system, these slaves who become free people cannot last long with just a little severance payment. They will soon lose their freedom again and eventually sell themselves back to the old path of slaves or even slaves," Gowen shook his head, "but Viscount Victor Cond is not a whimsical idealist, he can definitely think of this too.

Some, but he had no other choice - the Kant family is gone, and with the current administrative efficiency of the Ansu royal family, the new lord may not come within a year or two. According to Ansu's laws, all the property in this castle belongs to the nobles themselves, and any slaves are selfless. Therefore, during this period, the people left by the old lord were the most miserable. They either ran out to find ways to make a living by themselves, but slaves made a living by themselves is a crime, or they stole the property in the castle to sell it - but this is also a crime.

"That is why Viscount Kant wants to liberate all these people into free people and allow them to leave freely - at least leave them a way out."

Amber was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little big: "It feels... so big a mess!"

"It's a mess, but someone will have to deal with it," Gao Wen curled his lips, "and I feel like this has fallen on me."

Amber blinked very much: "So it's better for us. Usually, after the work is completed, you can just walk away without considering the aftermath - when you walk slowly, you will be cured by someone..."
