Chapter 7: Your Friend Ghost Girl is online!
Because the castle is located on a high ridge, the night at Castle Sava is exceptionally cold and quiet. The crescent moon www.biquge.info of the pen%fun%pavilion casts a mysterious silver glow on the tall Black Castle, and except for the slight footsteps of the dutiful guards patrolling with torches, everything in the castle seems to fall into a deep sleep.
The evening breeze in the mountains blows through the terrace, and the light veil on the side of the terrace is playfully lifted into the warm room, and the moonlight flows into the room along the gap of the light veil, rendering everything inside mysterious and elegant. Charlotte, who was sleeping in a soft velvet quilt, accidentally rolled over, and he opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, although his subconscious told him that he had to carry out his adventure plan immediately, but the fatigue of the day made him undecided.
As if catching a glimpse of something in a hazy trance, Charlotte's half-dazed brain stagnated for a few seconds, then instantly regained its function. Like a frog that suddenly sees a poisonous snake, he reacts violently and rises to his feet, falling under the bed.
"Big, big, big sister, you, you, who are you?"
No one answered his questions, and it looked as if he was talking to himself alone. But that's not the case, at Charlotte's favorite little round table, a 17-year-old blonde girl in a loose dressing gown with half-exposed shoulders is quietly sipping tea with a delicate teacup.
She is like an aristocratic lady who can enjoy life the most, sitting in the clear sunshine and shaking the teacup in her hand slightly, enjoying a quiet and peaceful afternoon tea. But the strange thing is that not only is the timing wrong, but also her delicate face is so indifferent that it is almost like a delicate doll created so vividly that the artist forgets to add any expression to her under the perfect shape.
"Wow-"
A cry like a baby's cry came from the girl's arms, and Charlotte shuddered with fright, and he followed the sound to see a golden kitten curled up in the girl's arms. It stretched lazily and gracefully licked its pink forepaws, then rolled over comfortably and fell asleep with its eyes half-squinted in the girl's arms.
Puff, puff, puff......
Time and space returned to an eerie silence once again, and there was no sound except for the clear sound of Charlotte's heartbeat. Charlotte held her breath and watched the girl's every move, and he realized that it might be the rumored ghost girl, so he looked at the other person intently, judging the girl's danger in his own way.
As the minutes ticked by, the ghost girl remained motionless like a real doll, holding a teacup in an elegant posture, looking like a robot that had overheated and crashed. Just when Charlotte was about to restrain her curiosity and was about to get closer to the girl to find out, the ghost girl suddenly moved.
She gently rested the teacup on the small round table, and then stood up from the golden cat sleeping soundly in her arms, and the latter meowed to the ground with a terrible meow, meowing humanly as if complaining loudly to her master. Naturally, this did not arouse sympathy from the girl, who took a graceful step as if she had not noticed the golden cat's complaints, for she had taken a complete disregard for the kitten, and her gold-rimmed heels almost stepped on the cat's tail, which made the latter leap violently, and the hair on her whole body stood on end.
Charlotte, who was about to make a move, was startled, he shrunk his body, holding his breath to pay attention to the every move of the three-nil girl in front of him. To tell the truth, although Ghost Girl doesn't have Charlotte's sarcastic skills that can make people explode in three sentences, but just that attitude of completely ignoring others has already made her ability to attract hatred to the point where she can be overwhelming.
Put yourself in the shoes of the kitten, if Charlotte stood in the position of the kitten, I am afraid that she would have given this guy who looks down on people a hard bite, of course, it is more likely to lick it...... After all, no matter how much she doesn't, this girl is indeed the only one in Charlotte's life. Her flawless face, her delicate and slender tall figure, coupled with her expressionless and arrogant posture, is like Lilith who seduces people's souls, and will make people fall into her boundless indifferent temptation unconsciously.
The ghost girl gracefully pushed open the door, and behind her, followed by the golden cat and Charlotte. Maybe it's the time for the shift change, or maybe it's for some other reason, Charlotte followed the girl all the way without being noticed by any of the guards.
They descended a spiral staircase, through a large and bright atrium, through a winding corridor, and finally down a staircase that they had never seen before, into a dark cul-de-sac. It was only at this time that Charlotte felt frightened, and he realized that he might have been unwittingly lost in his mind, so he followed a strange ghost unsuspectingly to an empty place.
Just as he was about to retreat, something unexpected happened. The ghost girl in front of her twisted lightly on the side of the stone wall, almost like a door in the void and went straight through the wall, Charlotte, who was about to leave, looked at the scene in front of her with her mouth open, and he was curious and stupidly learned the girl's movements to twist the stone wall, and then closed her eyes and slammed forward.
Bang -
Tragedy struck! A swollen bag appeared on his forehead, and there was no doubt that there was no door, for the invisible door was set up for a platform of nine and three-quarters, and he was about to fall into tears of pain.
"I'm so stupid, really! Since I'm a ghost, I can pass through the wall as a matter of course! Isn't this being tricked by a mere ghost? This ghost is too bad to deceive me by twisting the door!"
He grumbled and was about to turn away from the dead end, but a flash of inspiration flashed through his brain. A question occurred to him—that is, why did the designers of the castle add a cramped, useless dead end here?
He immediately realized that there might be some mechanism here, and his curiosity drove him to act, and he began to search for everything in this dead end, down to the point where every brick and every corner was spared.
It wasn't until he accidentally touched a hollow wall that he carefully buckled out the masonry with anticipation, and sure enough, a delicate silver handle appeared inside. The thrill of discovering the secrets of the castle swept through his body, and he trembled and twisted the handle, and then on the wall in front of him, the originally dense brick wall suddenly parted to the sides, and a deep staircase that extended down appeared in front of him.
has reached this point, Charlotte, known as the little prince of death, has no intention of retreating. He rubbed his hands together excitedly, and strode towards the dark staircase, the moment his feet just stepped on the staircase, the magic lamp suddenly lit up from the walls on both sides, reflecting the entire dark passage brightly.
Charlotte relied on her golden finger of time and space reset, and ran down the stairs with a big grin, when she passed through about thirty steps, a stone gate with intricate reliefs appeared in front of her, and two lines of text were engraved on both sides of the gate.
"When you walk in darkness, only knowledge can illuminate your direction. ”
"It's weird!
Charlotte touched her smooth chin and shook her head pretendedly. Isn't it strange that there are secret rooms in castles? Of course it's not surprising, any castle will have a secret room designed by its owner. However, it is too disobedient to have such a sentence engraved on the secret room of the Clayderman family!
The proverbs on this are obviously the products of mages, but as we all know, Clayderman has been a knight family since ancient times, and there are no mages in the family lineage, and even the profession of alchemist has never appeared, so why do mage proverbs appear in the family's secret room?
"It's getting more and more interesting, ghost girl, where do you want to take me? This kind of plot unfolds, it's like the guide of fate in the novel to guide me forward, and the next thing should be the plot of giving gold fingers, sending artifacts, and selling benefits......!
He laughed hypnotically and pushed open the closed stone door. The stone gate was unexpectedly lightweight, and with just a little force, it was separated from the left and right sides as if it were equipped with some kind of mechanism.
As Charlotte expected, there were neatly arranged bookshelves in front of her, and the books were densely placed in rows of bookshelves that were three people high, and the room covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters was a small library. In the foreground, the ghost girl was standing on a book ladder with a heavy book in her hand, reading expressionlessly, the golden cat perched on her fragrant shoulder, yawning in a match.
"Hey, puppet girl, what the hell did you call me here, tell me now!"
Charlotte crossed her hands on her hips and asked loudly at the ghost in front of her, perhaps it was the fact that he had been getting along with each other all the time, which made him completely let down his vigilance against this harmless ghost girl. However, the girl did not answer, she still read the book in her hand as if she had not heard any sound, including the lazy golden silk cat also squinted at the forepaw, and the two pets completely ignored Charlotte's existence.
"Pretend!
Charlotte's overbearing attitude made Charlotte slightly offended, and he hurried forward, shaking the tall ladder of books very rudely. However, after shaking twice, the girl and the cat rippled like moonlight reflected in the water, and the two gradually disappeared in the air like phantoms.
"I'll go - this guy is too cold and too high-tech!"
Looking at the disappeared ghost girl, Charlotte couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
