An ancient diary is an ancient legend.

    Looking at these distant and old words, a long dusty story is also slowly unfolding.

    What exactly do these memories represent? What happened in the castle that stood on the plain?

    What happened in that once glorious ancient castle?

    What would bring him such a terrible end?

    All this began to show slowly in front of arrow when he opened the first page of his diary.

    ————

    May 16, sunny.

    Today is the first day of spreading.

    After a week''s cleaning, we finally cleaned up the old castle. The servants put everything in and put everything in order. Although there are still some small corners that haven''t been cleaned up in time, they can check in.

    Compared with the finished castle, zabu seems to care more about his work.

    I can understand that his title, his glory and the meaning of his existence are all for this honor.

    I will always remember that when he came back that day and told me that he was about to be knighted, his face was full of sunshine!

    Of course I''m happy to be his wife. Baroness seems to be a good name, too?

    However, I hope Nari can like this place. She had to separate from her friends. I hope she can find a new playmate as soon as possible.

    ————

    June 2, cloudy.

    Life in the castle is a little boring. As a baroness''s lady, I can''t go out casually or visit the town.

    Zabu really values his honor too much. He should remember that not long ago, he was just a civilian and should not be too alienated from the civilians in Pelican town.

    But even if I told him, it should be useless. He has been running wildly between the mine and the hillock these days. It seems that he wants to rub everything here clearly.

    He didn''t even have much time to spend with Nari, which made me very uncomfortable. Nali seems in a bad mood. The weather is terrible today. She looks a little depressed.

    ————

    July 15, heavy rain.

    Today, Nari had a fever. I begged zabu not to leave our mother and daughter and run to the mine. No matter how much you value honor, you need some time with your family? His title is bestowed by his majesty and will not be deprived because he is a little slack in his work.

    But zabu''s answer made me very angry. I even began to think that he preferred to stay in the dark mine than his wife and daughter.

    He seems to be hiding something from me. Should I explore it?

    Mistress?

    It seems to be a tradition for nobles to have mistresses, and spreading seems to follow this rule. I also know that each of those nobles has several mistresses, which is even a show off. Should I also support him and let him not regard me as a woman who is too careful?

    ————

    July 17, sunny.

    My dear finally apologized to me and admitted his mistake. He also promised to spend a day with me and our daughter Nari.

    This makes me feel very gratified. After all, he remembered that he was a husband and a father.

    During the chat, I finally understood why my dear was so nervous. All this originated from our previous mine governor.

    It seemed that the governor had suddenly disappeared, but there was nothing strange before he disappeared, so he disappeared out of thin air.

    After hearing this, I was a little afraid, but my dear told me not to be afraid. This may be because the governor escaped after corruption or eloped with a mistress.

    Moreover, he told me that his majesty appointed him here as governor this time. One is to supervise the iron ore mining in the Changmian mountains, and the other is to investigate the disappearance of the governor.

    I very much hope that the governor really disappeared because of corruption or mistress. It sounds so uncomfortable that a person disappears out of thin air.

    ————

    August 30, rain, Sun Festival.

    It is the Sun Memorial Day, but the rain makes the festival seem ironic.

    During this time, zabu continued to stay in the mine, and I was so bored that I couldn''t breathe.

    Now is clearly the time when we need to accompany Nari most.

    Is it because of old age? NARI will be ten years old soon. She looks more and more active, as if she is very curious about everything in the world.

    But sometimes, she will say some very terrible things to me.

    She said she often had nightmares about something buried under the land. A huge, unspeakable living thing.

    That thing often enters her sleep, talks to her and chats with her. Because of this, Nelly began to say some strange words to me. The words of some words were obviously complex. Even I couldn''t speak clearly, but she could pronounce them accurately.

    My daughter began to become strange. Sometimes she would silently shrink in the corner of the room and squat facing the wall all day. Sometimes she would keep screaming and running around, and even the servants could not stop her sometimes.

    I should talk to SAB.

    ————

    October 10, heavy fog.

    The weather today is really terrible. When I open the window, the only thing I can see is a vast expanse of white.

    The pelican town and the sleeping mountains in the distance, which could have been easily seen, are now hidden in the thick fog.

    I felt like I was covered in a glass cover. A strong sense of loneliness made me uncomfortable.

    I never thought that seeing that town was such a reassuring thing for me.

    I was a little afraid. Although I knew it was impossible, I was really afraid that as long as I held out my hand, something would come out of the thick fog and bite off my arm.

    Nanli is becoming more and more disobedient. It''s so bad, but she said it''s sunny today and she must run out.

    I didn''t catch her and let her run out of town and into the thick fog.

    I couldn''t see her. I shouted in a hurry, but the servants ran out at once.

    I really thank my servants for being able to catch the child back in such a thick fog. If I were to find it, I''m afraid I would be lost in this thick fog.

    ————

    "What are you looking at? Look so hard. "

    While reading, ello suddenly jerked all over and looked back. Napa was lying on her shoulder and looking at the diary in front of her.

    Ello breathed out and said, "can you stop appearing so suddenly and call me? I was almost scared to death by you. "

    Napa said, "why, would you be scared to death if you read a diary? This diary has been put on the shelf since you brought it back from swan castle. Why do you want to read it now? "

    After thinking about it, ello put a bookmark on his diary and said, "you have more experience than me. I want to ask you, do you know about the monster hidden under Swan Castle?"

    Napa floated slowly to the table, lay down in the sun and said, "monster? What monster? "

    Ello explained in detail the process of the death of many grains. After hearing this, Napa licked her two small claws constantly, then wiped her face and said, "it''s a bit like a sea demon, because the sea demon has tentacles. But the sea demon shouldn''t appear in such a small place? And you say it''s not small... I''ve never heard of such a Warcraft. "

    Arrow sighed and continued, "it''s really strange. The underground pit doesn''t look so wet, but the torch goes out when it''s thrown in. But he didn''t show much difficulty breathing when most of the grains were inside... Of course, he didn''t breathe much time at all. "

    Napa licked her meatball again and wiped her face. Suddenly she seemed to think of something and said, "although the thing in the underpass doesn''t know what it is, I may have guessed the reason why many grains ran to the underpass."

    Arrow: Oh? Why? "

    Napa snorted, "because of the ghost."

    "Ghost???" Arrow looked surprised. After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached out and pointed to the direction of Coco''s room, "can the necromancer control the ghost?"

    Napa snorted coldly again: "what you think is too beautiful. The level of death spirit spell of that little girl is far from good! The ghosts in the room may be more different than I know. "

    "Ghosts are good at mental attack, which can affect people''s brain and make all kinds of illusions and auditory hallucinations naturally appear in human brain. To form a ghost, it generally requires powerful necromancer magic and people who die with some resentment. This kind of thing is actually rare, because the power and investment required to create a ghost can not be compared with the benefits. "

    "Although ghosts are good at spiritual attacks, their weaknesses are also obvious. Like many dead spirits, they are generally afraid of the power of the light. "

    At this point, Napa glanced at arrow, then shook her tail lazily and said——

    "But even so, our guild doesn''t have members with light magic affinity at present, so don''t think about ghosts anymore."

    Hearing what Napa said, ello turned his mouth and began to read the diary in his hand.

    ————

    November 20, rain.

    Today is another rainy day, which makes me feel very tired.

    What day is it? Why has it been raining for more than half a month and hasn''t cleared up all day.

    Servants also looked abnormal. In such a rainy climate, they would go shopping in that small town without holding an umbrella.

    Zabu began to ignore me again. I haven''t even seen him for days.

    He gets up before the sun rises every day. He hasn''t even come back until I go to bed.

    Sometimes I even wonder if he hasn''t come back at all?

    But when I get up every morning, I see that the bedding next to me has been slept, so he comes back at least once a day?

    Sometimes, I vaguely hear his voice talking to me.

    Am I dreaming?

    In my dream, his voice is so gentle and beautiful. Just like when we just got married, we had a good time every night.

    But I can''t see him. I''m really going to collapse.

    Tonight, no matter what, I must insist on staying up until he comes back. I''m eager to see Sabu. I must see my husband!

    ————

    December 1, sunny day!

    My mother is cruel to me. I don''t know where it''s wrong. My mother is more and more fierce!

    Mom never hit me before, but today mom hit me!

    I was so mysterious all day that I was not allowed to enter their house. Moreover, my mother looks like waiting for someone every day. She dresses beautifully when she gets up in the morning and stands on the balcony looking at the direction of the Changmian mountains.

    Today, something more strange happened.

    Originally, my mother''s face was always dark, but today she smiled very happy and even made some delicious food for me!

    But after noon, my mother shut herself in the room alone, as if she were talking to someone.

    What are you talking about? It''s too vague for me to hear clearly. But mom must be talking to a stranger.

    I don''t know why my mother doesn''t allow me to go out. It''s a pity if I still can''t go out in such a good weather... The person talking to my mother doesn''t know what he looks like. Can I ask him to help me talk to my mother?

    Dad hasn''t come back for three days, Dad... Wuwuwuwu

    ————

    Seeing this, arrow put down his diary and turned to look at Napa next to him: "what do you think?"

    Napa floated over and swept these words one by one, and her tail shook slightly: "I feel... It''s strange. Through subtle influence, they begin to affect people''s thoughts and even produce illusions? More importantly... The mother and daughter are talking about each other''s problems, while the husband stays in the mine all day. HMM... I really can''t think of what kind of Warcraft can do this. Moreover, this kind of thing is really unnecessary. "

    Arrow held his chin and asked for advice on his face: "no need? Warcraft creates illusions that affect humans. Where can it be called unnecessary? "

    Napa shook her head and said, "of course there''s no problem with hallucinations, but Warcraft create hallucinations for other creatures for the purpose of predation, fighting and competing for territory. Look at the date. It''s been more than half a year. It''s no good to keep hallucinating for such a long time. Why spend so much energy on these things? "

    Arrow glanced at his diary again, frowned and said, "hallucination? To tell you the truth, I feel more like an influence on my mind than an illusion. This feeling I should... "

    At this point, arrow shook his head and continued to look.

    ————

    December 31, holy night sacrifice, rain.

    It''s really annoying weather. It''s all holy night sacrifice. There''s still no meaning to stop.

    Such bad weather makes him feel a little bad. Although, I''m very happy that he has started to come back more recently.

    Today, he told me that the mining of iron ore has reached an impasse. The mines in the Changmian mountains have not produced any minerals for a month.

    This situation is very bad. Although the spreader constantly ordered the miners to continue to dig below, the iron ore has never appeared at all.

    I comforted Sabu and hoped he would calm down.

    Even if I don''t understand anything, in the recent chat with the servants, they occasionally began to talk about the increasingly serious collapse in the mine. Many people have been missing. Every time I go to the mine, it seems dangerous.

    But zabu didn''t give up at all. His face was full of confidence. He always told me that he firmly believed that there was something under the mine, and it was still a very precious thing!

    When I asked him where he got this confidence, he smiled at me and said he had very reliable news.

    I just hope he can be safe and accept everything else.

    In addition, I''m also worried about the townspeople. They seem crazy, their behavior looks very strange, and some townspeople''s faces are beginning to deform. I don''t know why there are so many people like insects in Pelican Town, which makes me feel a little sick.

    ————

    On January 4th, it snowed.

    I''m really happy that dad didn''t go to the mine again.

    I want my father to play with me. I''ve been locked up in the castle by my mother. I think I''m going crazy!

    But every time I get close to my father, my mother will drive me away fiercely.

    Why? My father is also my father. Why does my mother want to see the enemy and forbid me to approach my father?

    Mom, if you see my diary, tell me what I did wrong. Why don''t you agree with me to play with my father?

    Today, my father found many servants and said that he would dig the basement to make a place to store food.

    Just don''t play with me. Even the servant father who accompanied me to the snowball fight outside has been transferred.

    I''m lonely. I want to play. I want to make a snowman, have a snowball fight and roll around in the snow with everyone. I don''t want to live here anymore. Mom and dad hate it!

    ————

    February 1, heavy fog.

    The rain stopped, but it fogged again.

    Today, Sabu killed two more townspeople. Because they are lazy, they must pay the price of their lives.

    At the same time, blood can also appease, and the soul can protect us from evil.

    Sabu told me that there was a smell of evil in Pelican town. When he said so, I seemed to be able to see it.

    These townspeople began to have a lot of dissatisfaction with my husband. I hate the way they look at our family.

    They are evil and we are bright. Since ancient times, light is destined to defeat evil! Their souls may not understand how noble our cause will be until they reach the other side.

    I just hope Nari doesn''t yell any more. She''s making some noise to my dear husband''s work. Ten more people will be killed tomorrow. Their liver and heart will be the best sacrifice. Even the servants are tired of killing. It seems that I have to do it myself.

    Sabu said that there was some dawn in the mining of iron ore, but he did not go to the mine, but dug harder under our castle. Isn''t there a lot of iron veins under our feet?

    ————

    February 18, sunny day.

    Today, I sneaked into the basement my father dug, but my father kicked me out immediately.

    Dad looks so nervous. What''s hidden in the basement?

    I asked him, but my father refused to tell me. Hum! mean.

    Mom never seems to read my diary, because she never thought of coming to accompany me.

    I clearly saw my father talking to someone in the basement. He was very pious. My father knelt down.

    Is your Majesty the emperor here? I haven''t seen your majesty yet. I must go in again next time.

    ————

    March 27, sunny.

    Finally, it cleared up!

    I have lived here for almost a year. I almost forget what it feels like to be sunny.

    Sabu said that the iron ore in the Changmian mountains has been completely shut down. It is estimated that the Empire will call him back soon and announce the cessation of the development of the Changmian mountains.

    I am very happy about this, because I can finally get away from those insects and return to the big city with my husband. He won''t have such a busy day next. We can lie on the warm beach, bask in the sun, and then enjoy a perfect vacation.

    But zabu still seemed unwilling to give up, but he always had a smile on his face.

    Does he know something? Or did he find something?

    Forget it, don''t worry about all this. After all, we can leave this damn place soon.

    As like as two peas, I am dislike to deal with those mobs.

    ————

    April 22, thunderstorm.

    Will this be the last diary I recorded here? Because tomorrow afternoon, our carriage will start.

    I finally feel at ease. Many things can be solved, and I won''t be trapped in this dirty and narrow place again.

    Zabu''s eyes looking at me are really getting more and more beautiful. Does he fall in love with me again? After so many years of marriage, he really embarrassed me by looking at me like this again.

    But the mob came again. Zab said to let my daughter and I hide in the room for a while. He went out to deal with it. I closed the door, and he locked the door outside to protect our mother and daughter.

    Zab said he would take us to a better place. I hope what he said is true.

    In fact, even if it is fake, as long as you don''t have to stay here, it will be millions of times better anywhere.

    I''m just a little surprised. Why did Sabu put so many firewood in every corner of the castle? It doesn''t seem to make any sense.

    Forget it, he''ll pick up our mother and daughter later. Last night, I''ll be patient.

    ————

    April 23, the weather is very good.

    We packed up and got ready to get on the carriage and leave the place. Dad told me that we will go to a better place in the future and our life will become better and better, so I believe dad.
