照例來說火車站所在的地區應當是整個小鎮最繁華的地方，但雅尼斯覺得就連都市的貧民窟都比艾佛森小鎮好上不少copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAIYJorkVi

神色麻木的鎮民，無法阻擋冷風的房屋，停留在屍骨旁邊的禿鷹，雅尼斯無法想像在這種地方生活超過三天……天啊那他一定會瘋掉copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsDay0TN3J

雅尼斯在佩克的輕推下漸漸睜開眼睛，他揉了揉酸漲的眼睛，走下馬車看著這一座古老的莊園copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVkkwlXLMM
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp98Wdcd3x1
copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfuHVBnA1A
這是賽西斯德家族的莊園，也是雅尼斯的祖宅，不過雅尼斯在兩歲的時候就被父母帶往倫敦居住，所以他對這裡一點兒印象也沒有copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJFP6WpY1B
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Q6v5DLpQ
copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk14qQAGe3
因而他當然不是為了找尋小時候的回憶而到來，是因為這座城堡的持有人，雅尼斯的祖父在一個月前突然消失，父母也在三年前被馬車撞死，所以身為唯一繼承人的雅尼斯，在收到佩克的信件後，才回到了這座莊園copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8a48aMQLj
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7fTSahFQT
copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcfX4PHtNJ
莊園佔地非常廣泛，估計有兩千英畝左右或者更多，雅尼斯覺得這真是上帝賜予他的禮物copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZAlKRMcpP

copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dqcpmS0nS
是的，在佩克的來信之前，他根本不知道自己的祖父擁有這麼大一座莊園，他的父母連一個字都沒有跟他透露過，或者說是每當他問起祖父祖母時，父母都會用各種理由搪塞過去copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡBla9dotTVF

雅尼斯走進莊園，發現裡頭被打理得井井有條，庭園的灌木叢修剪的乾淨俐落，石板路雖然有些年頭斑駁，但上面被清掃的沒有任何一片落葉，看上去仍是一座古老雅致的莊園copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡecRloN2iSr
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVcgIxAeDS

聽到這一句話的佩克回過身，那雙遲暮時分的雙眼中，彷彿有著一絲慶幸，一絲悲憫，以及惡意，彷彿在注視著一名將死的戴罪之人，他用蒼老的聲音回答道：「不記得也好」copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8C3WN0QgV

在進入主宅後，裡頭古歐洲的裝潢更是讓雅尼斯詫異，擺設的家具一看便是有些年份的，走廊上的畫作和嵌滿寶石的吊燈更是不用說，每一樣東西都足以讓人一夜暴富copyright protection94ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu4vG5l4zW
