17, the old butler Moros
"This gentleman, it seems that Midnight agrees with you, so please take him away as soon as possible. A ghostly groom came up and said.
"Its former owner," Nightglow was puzzled, for if he remembered correctly, Midnight's owner was the Hunter Atumen, but before he could finish his question, he was interrupted, "it has no owner, sir," the groom looked at Midnight with pity, and continued, "There was a black knight who asked us to take care of it, but it had been a long time, and the knight had not returned, and this horse, Midnight, would not eat the forage we fed, even if it was hungry. And, no other horse dared to approach it. So, it has been lonely and miserable for many years, until today. ”
"Boom!" said Midnight, as if he understood what the groom was saying. "Well, that's what I'm trying to do anyway. Nightglow touched its head, and although the horse's mane burned with purple flames, it didn't feel warm to the touch.
Yeguang took out some food from the space bag on his body and fed it to eat, of course, this space bag was also turned out of the castle, a total of two, just one for him and Wei Hanxin. In other words, there are a lot of good things for the Lords of Death. Midnight didn't look at the bread and fruit that the night light took out, but just picked up a piece of meat and swallowed it in his mouth, and chewed happily.
Patiently waiting for it to finish, Luminous continued, "Man, we still need to explore the rest of Karazan, you can't get in this size, why don't you stay here and take you out of here when we go back, how about it?"
Midnight tilted his head, and suddenly the flames on his body burned violently, and at the same time, the size slowly shrank, and finally, the flames dissipated, and what remained in place was a small purple-red meow
I rely on your brother, you are very talented, I give full marks for this transformation.
"Meow~" Midnight became a cat screamed in place, jumped up, jumped onto the shoulder of the night light, glanced at the dust left on his head with disgust, jumped again, jumped on Wei Hanxin's head, and lazily lay down. "Hmm~ so good" Wei Hanxin's big eyes looked upward, and then narrowed, indicating that she was very happy.
Yeguang looked at one person and one "meow" as if they had known each other for a long time, so harmonious, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go look elsewhere." ”
They reached the door of the banquet hall, where a doorman was waiting. Seeing Ye Guang and the others approaching, he bowed very elegantly and said, "Hello, distinguished guests, my name is Berthold, and I am here to receive you on the orders of the master. It seems that you are a little late, and the host's banquet has already begun, so please hurry up. "He was a little bald, with only some hair at the back of his head, but he was well-dressed, and he was obviously of a higher status than the janitor he had met before.
"Thank you, then, let's get over here" and the two walked up.
The chandelier on the ceiling glowed dimly, the statues in the corners were dusty, and the food on the tables had long since rotted, but the guests who had long since turned into ghosts did not notice all this, and were still talking and laughing loudly, and from time to time, some skeletons who were supposed to be waiters in their lifetimes were doing the same work after death, carrying plates and interspersing the crowd. But many more, or rather skeletons, have become piles of dry bones, piled on the ground. Even undead creatures can't withstand the erosion of time.
As the two approached, watching the ghostly guests talking and laughing loudly, or dancing happily together, it really felt like they had traveled back in time to a medieval aristocratic banquet, but the atmosphere became terrifying when the waiter who came in from time to time opened his mouth and asked what they needed. To be honest, if it weren't for the fear of being attacked by the swarm, Luminous would have wanted to smash these skeletons to study where the sound came from.
The scale of this banquet was huge, divided into several banquet halls, and there were crowds everywhere, so that Luminous and Wei Hanxin were completely lost, and the two of them stared blankly at the ghost chefs who were complaining to each other in the kitchen, this was the third time they had turned to the kitchen. "Two guests over there, do you need any help?" Just as they were wandering aimlessly again, they heard a voice coming from afar, which was undoubtedly heavenly to them. They stopped, looking for the source of the sound, just in time to see an undead in the shape of a butler approaching. He was probably the most complete of the undead creatures with the entity: he was dressed in a burgundy butler suit, his gray hair was neatly combed, his skin was pale but clean, but unfortunately there were only two holes left in the original position of the eyes, and the eyeballs were gone, and the black leather belt that was crossed on his face to prevent the skin from falling off somewhat ruined his grace.
"Hello," he bowed, then said, "I'm the steward here, and my name is Moros. I've seen you walk through here several times, do you need any help?"
Nightlight burst into tears, then recalled the order of Karazan in the game, and said, "We can't find our way to the opera house, can you tell us the exact location?"
"Please come with me," Moros said, turning to lead the way, with a faint sigh, "I can't remember how long it has been, you were the first visitors since death shrouded here. ”
"Do you know you're dead?" Wei Hanxin asked in surprise when she heard his words. Unlike other thoughtless deceased, the old butler's head was clearly clear
"Of course I do. I know we're dead, and we're just ghosts that we're not willing to pass away. But what can be done?" he said, looking at the crowd that erupted in laughter from time to time, "I grew up here until I became the steward of the place, and then died. But here, indulging in this false noise, entertaining these guests, I can still feel my presence, and what can a waddling old undead do if I go to the outside world?"
Wei Hanxin and Yeguang didn't know what to say to comfort the old man, so they simply remained silent. In this awkward atmosphere, Moros stopped, "Arrived, this is it" Then, he took out a silver pocket watch from his pocket and handed it to Luminous, "Time flow is different in different places in Karazan, and in some places, you can't get out if you go in." This is a pocket watch specially assigned to me by the owner, through which I can know the time in various corners of the tower, but I don't need it now, I hope you will keep it well. ”
Luminous took it with both hands and thanked him solemnly, "I will." Moros just waved his hand, turned and walked slowly back to the banquet hall, his back bleak and lonely.
