Chapter 49: The Dream (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the cold and cold hall, Klein shuddered suddenly, retracted his gaze, and said to the bodyguard lady:
"Let's go back. ”
Judging from the performance of the Azk Bronze Whistle just now, there are most likely terrifying evil spirits in the innermost room, and the danger is likely to be above the "Secret Puppet Master" Rosago and the "Hurricane Lieutenant General" Ziringus...... It has been wandering for hundreds of thousands of years, and it may have been equal to a high-level powerhouse, and if it weren't for the difficulty of its power to penetrate the room, I would be a dead man by now...... Even if Miss Bodyguard is the best in Sequence 5, I have little hope of turning the tables with her...... Be self-aware, and not be tempted by the "treasures" of the characteristics and magical items left behind by the suspected extraordinary...... Greed often leads to death...... Klein silently found a reason to convince himself.
The bodyguard lady glanced sideways at him, and asked without emotion:
"And after that?"
After that, Crane quietly bared his teeth and pondered the words:
"Let Miller Carter call the police, who knows when the evil spirit will be able to get out of trouble, and if it can be solved as soon as possible, it will be solved as soon as possible, no, no, Mr. Carter doesn't know much, and if you call the police in this way, the police department will not pay enough attention to it, and the first people who come to explore and inspect will suffer heavy casualties, and may even indirectly help the evil spirit get rid of its shackles, and also, seeing such a statue, I, the detective, may be killed...... Forehead...... Do you see the bones and the spiritual brilliance in the room?"
The bodyguard lady looked back at the dark corridor behind the half-open stone door, and nodded slightly.
Klein's thoughts are electronically transferred:
"I'm guessing that these are the corpses of the previous explorers, who were killed in that room by evil spirits, and the extraordinary ones among them left behind magical items, which may be related to the Viscount family who originally lived in the outer house, I plan to ask their surnames, go to the library to look for materials, and search for their descendants to see if I can get useful clues. ”
"When the situation is initially determined, I will make a choice depending on the severity of the situation, whether it is to get some explosives, destroy the door and prevent others from entering, or I may send an anonymous letter to the police department describing the existence of evil spirits in detail, but this must be done in advance to avoid the risk. ”
"It's not too urgent, you can take your time. ”
The bodyguard listened quietly, looked ahead, and said in a fluttering tone:
"Aren't you thinking about organizing people to cleanse that evil spirit?"
"Even if there are no magical items left, the remnants of the evil spirits are precious enough. ”
It's the first time I've seen you say so much...... Probably...... Without hesitation, Klein replied, "The stakes are too high, and I think my life and health are more important." ”
He organized the following language, adding:
"The most powerful person I know is you, and judging from your performance just now, you don't seem to be the opponent of that evil spirit, I can't imagine any other way to solve it besides calling the police. ”
The bodyguard lady turned around, her pale face slightly transparent.
"You're still sane. She commented calmly and nonchalantly, and then floated towards the exit of the ancient hall.
Except for the suspicion of being influenced by the "true creator", where do I look like a madman? Crane sneered, carrying a lantern and a cane, and followed closely behind Miss Bodyguard, who always felt that he was being watched by the cold gaze of the dark corridor.
It wasn't until I stepped out of the ancient stone gate that the feeling dissipated.
Crane turned around and closed the door, enclosing the inverted candlesticks, sword-like marks, and the sinister statues of the six gods, allowing them to continue to "sleep" in the darkness and silence that had not changed for thousands of years.
Patting the dust off his clothes, he switched hands from the lantern and hurried back to Miller Carter's basement, where Miss Bodyguard had habitually disappeared into thin air.
Miller Carter was pacing in the basement when he saw Klein come out and hurriedly asked:
"How's it going?"
Klein had already thought of his words, and said with a scared expression:
"Very bad, there are a lot of snakes, and there are collapses in many places, I plan to gather some information, find all the people, get ready, and do a second exploration, during this time, you better not send people in, believe me, there are more poisonous snakes than you think. ”
The old gentleman Miller took a light breath and asked with a little horror:
"Will they swim around?"
"Do you know any pros who deal with snakes?"
Klein immediately nodded and said: "I will find someone to cooperate and try to deal with this matter as much as possible, it is cold autumn now, and the snakes are reluctant to move, as long as you don't send someone in to disturb them, nothing will happen." ”
"Okay, please as soon as possible, I'll close this door and not let anyone in during this time. Hearing this, Miller relaxed a little.
Seeing that the true but not all of the words frightened the employer, Klein hurriedly put down the lantern, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses and said:
"Next, I will gather some information and first figure out the layout of the underground structure before exploring. ”
"This requires you to tell me who the original owner of this house was. ”
Miller bought the building in the name of the former aristocratic estate, and immediately replied:
"Viscount Pound. ”
"What do you know about him and his family?" asked Klein in a professional gesture.
Miller pondered:
"I don't know much, I only know that they obtained the title in the 'War of the Oaths', and they had a time of eminence, but they suddenly fell for some reason a few decades ago, and they lost their heirs in a row, so they could only find relatives from the side branches to keep the title, and the new Viscount Pound is, hehe, in short, he squandered most of his family property, and was demoted to a baron by the king, and he should still be in Beckland, but he may go bankrupt at any time. ”
The Battle of the Oath, the Battle of the Oath that began in 738 of the Fifth Age, and Klein, a history student who successfully graduated, reflexively recalled the corresponding knowledge.
The war more than 600 years ago was a war involving religion, and the southern kingdom of Fenerport originally believed in both Mother Earth and the god of knowledge and wisdom, but under the influence of certain factors, the two churches were seriously opposed, and believers often clashed.
Its two neighbors to the north, the Kingdom of Rune and the Kingdom of Intis at the time, seized the opportunity to start a war under the pretext of protecting freedom of worship, and later the Vorsac Empire joined in to try to sabotage the plot of Rune and Intis, but still failed to turn the situation around, and suffered defeat.
As a result of the war, the countries of Lemburg, Marcy, and Segal, which are located at the junction of Rune and Fenerport, and where Intis and Fenerport meet, became independent, and believed in the gods of knowledge and wisdom, and only the Mother Earth Church remained in the Kingdom of Fenerport.
Because both sides of the war accused their opponents of reneging on the Holy Oath at the end of the Quaternary Age, the conflict that lasted for five years became known as the "War of the Broken Oath."
After that, there were more than 300 years of peace in the Northern Continent, which was not to say that there were no conflicts between nations, only that there were no more large-scale wars, and all this lasted until Russell invented the steam engine and improved sailing ships and artillery.
That's what history textbooks say...... Now that I think about it, since faith is involved, there must be extraordinary people in the church involved, and secretly there must have been a fierce transcendent war...... However, at that time, it was said that it was already an era of extraordinary rarity, and the number of extraordinary people was not large...... Squad-style battles?Could the sudden defeat of the Pound family decades ago and the successive loss of heirs have something to do with the discovery of the ancient building underground? Klein asked thoughtfully:
"Do you know where Pound currently lives from Baron?"
"Sorry, I don't know. Miller shook his head slightly.
Klein asked a few more questions, but seeing that he could not get any more information, he took his leave and returned to 15 Minsk Street.
At this time, it was nearly half past five o'clock, the sky was overcast and dark, like night, and Crane thought that the public libraries should have closed, so he put aside the matter of the underground building for the time being and prepared dinner for himself.
He originally wanted to learn how to make Fenerbot noodles based on the recipes in the newspaper, but he ended up making noodles with meat and sauce and vegetarian dishes, which tasted surprisingly good.
After eating and drinking, Crane tossed a coin casually, divining whether he should call the police at the moment, and got an answer that he shouldn't.
............
Beckland at night is as peaceful as any other city, at least in the Jowood district.
Crane was sleeping soundly, wandering vaguely in different dreams, when suddenly, he was startled and deeply aware that he was dreaming.
Someone invaded my dreams?, Crane resisted the urge to frown and looked around in a feigned confusion.
He found himself in a scorching yellow desert.
Suddenly, there was a roar from the sky, and a huge monster dyed black and gold soared and flew in.
The monster had a stout, lizard-like body with a pair of broad, skin-covered wings on its back, and it grew lower and lower, obscuring the sun in the sky.
A dragon! a mighty dragon! Crane saw scales the size of a disc, a huge mouth that glowed with pure light, and two dark golden vertical pupils.
Roar!
The dragon spat out a ray of light that covered everything in an infinite boundless light, and with it the vast expanse of the desert was wiped out.
In the light, a figure jumped into the air.
He was three or four meters tall, but he didn't have the straight eyes of a giant, and he had a handsome, youthful face, and was dressed in blood-soaked black armor.
The giant-like knight swung his broadsword from the bottom up, and countless blue and white purple flames condensed into spears, shooting densely at the dragon, and he seemed to have an entire legion of illusory extraordinaries cooperating with the battle!
In the meteor shower, the giant knight leapt on top of the dragon's head and slashed downward.
The remnants of the Dao Dao that he had dragged out before instantly overlapped, and the sword light turned into intersecting lightning.
Syllable!
The earth shook wildly, and the dragon fell, blood dark gold.
At this time, the picture changed abruptly, revealing a bloody gate, which was the same blood-colored gate that Crane had seen in the innermost part of the ancient building in the afternoon.
With a creak, the bloody door opened open a gap, allowing a faint glimpse of a black high-backed chair.
On the high-backed chair sat a normal-sized man, his head bowed, quiet and deadly.
As the camera got closer, Crane could see clearly what the man was wearing, he seemed to be the knight who had killed the dragon just now, and he was still wearing blood-stained black armor!
The only difference is that he is no longer three or four meters tall.
At that moment, the man raised his head suddenly, and his young and handsome face was marked with terrible rotting bones one after another, and his eyes were cold and merciless.
Crane was startled, Huo Ran woke up from his dream, and opened his eyes to see the crimson moonlight piercing through the curtains.
