Angel: "Actually, apart from this matter, there is another question that I can't figure out."

Everyone looked at Angel and Laplace: "What's the problem?"

Suspicion flashed in Angel's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "Why is it a sacrifice?"

Luigi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Angel did not answer, but frowned, seeming to be thinking.

At this time, Gleipnir beside him also said: "Actually, I also think that the appearance of this sacrifice is a bit strange."

"Is the function of the sacrifice in the Knight's Castle just to test whether the character is in the play?"

Because according to Edward, the appearance of sacrifices not only shows that his character creation is very successful, but also can deceive outsiders.

Other than that, the sacrifices don't seem to have any effect.

It seems that its existence value is just to deceive people.

What’s the point of going through a lot of trouble to create this, but failing to play the actual role of the sacrifice?

And it looks very wrong at first glance.

Angel looked at Edward: "After the sacrifices appeared, did anyone use them? Will the Ghost Rider recycle these sacrifices?"

Edward thought carefully: "The Ghost Rider did not come to collect the sacrifices in our hands, and I have not seen anyone use these sacrifices. But..."

Edward paused for a moment, seeming to be remembering something.

After a long time, Edward said: "Those ownerless sacrifices in the forest seem to be taken away by others every once in a while."

Because of the character design, most people will be trapped in the castle, and it is basically difficult to leave.

Edward is an exception because he is a makeup and hair stylist and needs to make cosmetics frequently. Some of the raw materials for these cosmetics, including dyes for hair dye, come from outside, such as extracting them from some plants in the forest.

Therefore, Edward can occasionally leave the castle and pick plants in the forest. This is in line with his character.

Therefore, Edward is one of the few people in the Knight's Castle who can come into contact with the ownerless sacrifices in the Black Forest.

"Due to role-playing, most of the sacrifices will be refreshed in the hands of our characters, but occasionally they will be refreshed outside the castle and become ownerless sacrifices. Although this situation is rare, due to the accumulation over the years, it will increase Most people in the world cannot leave the castle, and there are actually quite a lot of unclaimed sacrifices accumulated in the forest."

"However, because these sacrifices are not refreshed in our hands, the ownership rights do not belong to me, so even if I encounter ownerless sacrifices outside, I generally will not touch them."

For Edward, the greatest role of sacrifice is to induce outsiders in order to achieve his own freedom.

Since the ownerless sacrifices have no right of ownership, there is no way to deceive outsiders, so even if he can go out, he will not pick these sacrifices.

"Although I don't pick these sacrifices, I find that the sacrifices in the forest occasionally disappear."

"For example, one time when I was out, I met a sacrifice..."

It was a dead rope hanging from a treetop.

The dead man's rope refers to the rope used by the hanged ghost to strangle his neck before death.

At that time, Edward went out to pick plants and extract dyes; he saw this dead man's rope, which exuded a faint gleam and was obviously a rope-like sacrifice.

Although Edward didn't know much about rituals, he could guess that this kind of death rope was probably generally used in rituals related to the soul and death.

He was not interested anyway, and taking it back would not tempt outsiders, so he took a look and left.

About half a month later, the arrogant Miss Bubble wanted to change her wig to a new hair color. So Edward went to the forest with large and small bags to look for dye.

When he passed the tree again, he found that the death rope was missing.

The sacrifice couldn't have disappeared on its own, someone must have taken it away.

But Edward was very sure that in the past half month, no one had left the Knight's Castle.

There shouldn't be anything secretly there either. After all, everyone has to maintain their own character and it's impossible to do anything disobeying.

Moreover, no outsiders have come to the secret place through the window in the past half month, so who took the dead rope?

It's just that at that time, Edward was all focused on the dye and didn't pay much attention to it.

After returning to the castle, at night, when my thoughts were flowing, the more I recalled it, the more something felt wrong.

He regretted not looking around the tree to see if there were any footprints. If there were footprints, he might be able to find some clues by following the footprints.

That night, Edward also thought about "hinting" Bubble the next day and asking her to tell him to find the dye again.

But something unexpected happened, and when Edward woke up the next day, it was already raining outside.

Rain will cover up all traces.

Even if you go out now, it's hard to find footprints.

However, because of this incident, Edward also became interested in the ownerless sacrifices in the forest.

Every time he goes to the forest, he will secretly record the style and location of these ownerless sacrifices in his heart. When he sees them next time, he will compare them to see if there are any changes.

As a result, he really discovered that sacrifices occasionally disappeared in the forest.

Some sacrifices of flowers and plants can be excused as being eaten by wild beasts in the forest, or buried in a rain or snow; but for sacrifices such as the dead man's rope, it is difficult to accept normal natural celestial phenomena, wild beasts and insects.

Destroy it and destroy all traces of it.

In particular, Edward once discovered that a tombstone-shaped offering had disappeared in the forest.

All that was left was a muddy puddle.
