Hearing the butler say that there was a 700-year-old manor, Sun Jian was just happy. However, before the butler could finish, he was interrupted by Earl Hill, which made Sun Jian puzzled. He did not know what they were up to.
However, Sun Jian, who did not want to give up, asked Earl Hill anxiously,"Mr. Earl, why don't you let Butler Brock continue? I want to know why you don't want me to know. Can I?"
Earl Hill was silent for a moment before he smiled bitterly at Sun Jian.""Jian, I've already treated you as my best friend. Nephew, I don't want you to know that the place is for your own good. I'm afraid you'll sell it on impulse.”
After a pause, Earl Hill said,""If you really want to know, I can tell you. How should I put it? It's an evil place.”
Earl Hill recalled," The manor that Bork mentioned just now was built by King John in the 13th century. It has a history of more than 700 years. It's called Sylve Manor.
Sylve Manor was built after King John ascended the throne. The year it was completed, King John died in Newark.
Not long after King John's death, a noble took over the manor. However, not long after that noble took over the manor, his entire family was killed in a war.
Later on, after many royals and nobles took over Sylve Manor, they either fell sick or had various accidents. In the end, no one dared to take over Sylve Manor. It slowly became a ghost village.
A few years ago, an American businessman sold it, but not long after, he encountered a financial crisis and finally committed suicide by jumping off a building.”
Earl Hill looked at Sun Jian and said seriously,""That place is full of curses, so I don't want you to take over it.”
As Earl Hill spoke, Sun Jian's interest was slowly piqued. He was now a cultivator, and he was actually very interested in this strange legend.
Sun Jian's temper rose. He smiled and said to Earl Hill,""Mr. Hill, after hearing what you said, I'm interested in that Sylve Manor. When I was young, I loved adventures and was very interested in these ghost legends. I wonder where Sylve Manor is. I want to take a look.”
After hearing that Sun Jian wanted to go to Sylve Manor, Earl Hill was very excited. He waved his hand at Sun Jian and refused,"No, no, no, Jian, listen to me. You really can't go to that place. I don't want to harm you.”
"It's okay, Mr. Hill." Sun Jian waved his hand, stood up, and said to Earl Hill,""It's okay. I'm just going to take a look. Don't worry, it's okay.”
Looking at Sun Jian's determined look, Earl Hill sighed secretly. Sun Jian's current appearance was exactly the same as when he was young. He was just as bold and adventurous.
He shook his head and said to Sun Jian,"Alright, you can go and take a look, but promise me that if you feel that something is wrong, you will leave as soon as possible, okay?"”
"Alright, Mr. Hill." Sun Jian nodded firmly. He was quite touched by the old man's concern.
After Sun Jian agreed, he said to the butler,"Bolk, you should send Jian off."
………………
Sylve Manor was located in the east of Norfolk, near Wash Bay. It wasn't far from Hill Manor, and it only took half an hour to drive there.
After arriving at Sylve Manor, Sun Jian got out of the car under Brock's repeated instructions.
This place was very desolate, and there was no sign of human habitation at all. Because it had not been trimmed for a long time, the trees had grown messily. The ground was overgrown with weeds. When they walked in, a few small beasts would occasionally jump out. In the center was a huge and magnificent castle, but because it had been in disrepair for a long time, there was no human habitation, and it seemed dilapidated. However, it still gave people a sense of the vicissitudes of history. The broken walls told her story.
Behind the castle was a cliff, and below the cliff was Wash Bay.
Sun Jian and the others slowly walked in and saw a mess. There were weeds that were half a leg tall, thorns, and bird droppings everywhere. There were even animal skeletons. It was simply too tragic to look at.
Instead, he said to the real estate agent beside him,"Can we take a look inside first?”
"Sure, sure. Please come in and take a look.”The real estate agent nodded and bowed.
Sylve Manor could be said to be a holdout of their company. Some people had come to see it before, but when they heard the rumors, especially after the incident with the American businessman a few years ago, they all shook their heads and left. Therefore, although Sylve Manor occupied a large area and had an excellent geographical location, its price had dropped again and again. Now, it had dropped to the price of cabbage.
Seeing that Sun Jian was about to enter, Bork said to the bodyguards behind him,"Remember, protect Mr. Sun's safety.”
These people were all the Hill Family's bodyguards. They were basically the top special forces of the Ying Country's Special Air Force. They were equipped with firearms and usually guaranteed the Hill Family's safety.
"Creak…"
Sun Jian reached out his hand and pushed open the castle's door. An ear-piercing dry voice echoed in this empty place.
Pushing open the door, a sour smell greeted them. It was very pungent, causing Sun Jian to frown.
"Sir, put on your gas mask. This place is indeed a little strange.”A bodyguard handed a gas mask to Sun Jian.
"Thank you, but there's no need. I'm fine. Let's continue walking.”Sun Jian smiled and rejected the bodyguard's kindness. He walked straight in.
Dust was everywhere, and there were no traces of movement in the entire castle. Even the stairs had become extremely clean due to the passage of time. One step on it would shatter, and it was impossible to go up.
The roof of the castle was a little dilapidated, and one could see the sky when they raised their heads. There were still puddles of water on the ground. The empty and old castle did not look like a king's residence at all. It looked more like a haunted house.
Along the way, Sun Jian didn't feel anything wrong. There was no negative energy. It should be known that Sun Jian's Limitless Qi Devouring Formula was very sensitive to all kinds of energy. Now, Sun Jian and the others had already walked around this place, but they didn't find any bad energy. In other words, there was no evil existence here.
The group walked all the way to the back of the castle and stood on a platform.
Brock looked at the dilapidated manor and smiled bitterly at Sun Jian.""Mr. Sun, as you can see, this place is already in such a state. It's not suitable for people to live in. Moreover, this place was famous for being strange. I sincerely suggest that you lower your standards. I will definitely help you find a comfortable and beautiful manor.”
(Everyone, please!!!）
