Chapter Twenty-Five: Flames and Strings
Although it is underground, the interior of this room is decorated like the mansion of a large family.
Even though the outside was full of dirt, the interior of the house was made with delicate silver spiral windows, and a hazy mural hung on the wall behind the window, and I don't know what kind of magic was used to shine the light on the frescoes into the room and sprinkle on the floor.
Light-colored curtains hung on both sides of the window, trying to use it to obscure the frames on both sides.
Not far from the window, there are several musical instruments.
Those instruments were of a pattern not seen by Ifu, perhaps native to the Tin Throne.
The sound of the musical instruments rippling like soft raindrops falling on the water of the lake, accompanied by the sad sound of strings, makes you feel like you are bathed in the blessings of the forest and strolling.
- If it weren't for the fact that their performers made people look a little strange.
The two looked at the musicians playing instruments in front of them, and "they" could no longer be called people.
Because behind the small instrument, there are four skeletons sitting.
They wore beautiful long dresses, from left to right, pale blue, light orange, grass green, and dark purple of the night.
The ornaments on it are intricate and complex, whether it is cloth or craftsmanship, it makes people know at a glance its great value, and the prosperous scene of the ancient history of the Tin Throne.
"Could this be..."
Yi Fu suddenly opened her mouth like a person who had been silent for a long time, and her pleasant voice was covered with a little hoarse at the moment.
She didn't name the January Flower, the September Flower, the Wanton Spirit, or the Night Spirit, but Xue Erxun understood what she meant.
It seems that she succeeded, but it was too late, and all her friends over there were left with white bones. ”
I don't know if it's Yifu's delusion, she feels that Xue Erxun's voice is as cold as frost at this moment.
"The costumes they wore came fifteen years after the unification of the Tin Throne, when a nobleman gathered the most skilled tailors in the country and many well-known designers to create a dress that was unique to the Tin Throne. ”
But because this kind of clothing is very troublesome to walk, in the era of national labor, such clothes can only bring a burden to daily work, and it is also very inconvenient to wear and play, so now such clothes are relatively rare, and only some special tea parties will be worn.
"Babble. ”
Interrupting the conversation was the skeleton on the side, who seemed to have just realized that there was an intruder on the occasion, put down their instruments, and struggled to get up.
Every time they moved, the sound of their bones grinding against each other made Ifu feel uncomfortable.
"Babble. ”
They seem to have been playing the piano here for many years, and they are a little unfamiliar with walking, running, and other movements.
I saw that the four skeletons were now moving their hands and feet, and gradually adapted to such a body.
"Oh no, they seem to want to attack us. ”
As soon as Xue Erxun's words fell, those originally clumsy skeletons rushed up together, and Yi Fu's movements were also very fast, she quickly pulled Xue Erxun to the side to dodge, and then pulled out her sword.
"Come play, will you?"
The Wanton in its grass-green dress asked, its mouth opening and closing, making a creepy sound of bones colliding.
"We, ready, refreshments. "The January Flower dances strangely like a marionette.
"Let's play. The four skeletons said at the same time, and then chased them like hungry wolves, Yifu and Xueerxun wanted to withdraw first, but found that the small door had disappeared at some point.
They're stuck here.
The skeleton struck in front and back, left and right, so that Ifu did not have time to cast spells, looking at the four energetic skeletons, she grabbed Xue Erxun's slender waist, and took her to jump onto the beam, and then cast a layer of protection for her, and ordered the thunder and lightning to carry out a wide range of attacks below.
But what made it difficult for her was that even if the skeletons ate the lightning strike raw, it only slowed their movements.
Not only that, but they weren't afraid of flames and earth, and no matter what moves Ifu used, they could only slow down their movements slightly.
Seeing that the four skeletons were about to climb up from the pillar, she looked back at Xue Erxun, who was sitting on it with both hands on the beam.
"You just stay inside my guard and think about how to introduce me to the next 'attraction' for a while. ”
With that, she jumped to the ground with her sword in hand, covered in flames, and then attacked the skeletons with great speed, trying to split them into pieces.
The sword slashed at the skeletons, but it could only burst out a few sparks, and it did no real damage to them.
Xue Erxun, who was watching from above, was also looking for a countermeasure, and the situation below was stalemate, and she listened to the sound of swords and bones colliding, but she only felt that they were fighting each other.
"Together, play. ”
"Tea, well. ”
Ifu slashed violently, but the skeletons seemed to have no pressure, and they spoke strange things to her.
Is there anything I can do to help her? Xue Erxun looked around the room and suddenly saw the pianos.
Although the sound of the piano has stopped, the piano placed there does not seem to have stopped playing.
The proof is that the strings are still shaking in the air, and the keys are still beating up and down.
Could it have something to do with these pianos?
"Ayin, go play those pianos and try it!"
She shouted down, and Ifu listened to her and immediately turned to attack the lyres - which seemed to work, and the skeletons stopped their attack and ran in the direction of the harps, trying to protect them.
But Ifu's speed suddenly seemed to ride the wind, and she slashed her fiery sword at the harps, and the rotten wood stained with flames was cut off with gorgeous coats, but the next second they gradually walked towards the path of ashes.
"Click, click. ”
The pieces on the skeletons began to fall off, slowly falling apart.
Seeing that the rotten wood had been reduced to ashes, Ifu summoned the water of Hafjot and extinguished the flames in front of him, and washed away the ashes as well.
After the fire just now, the walls were also injured a lot, and the dark walls and the surface of the ceiling began to fall off, opening up a new path in front of Ifu.
"In the end, it was up to you to defeat them, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. ”
Yi Fu hugged Xue Erxun from above and praised.
"If you hadn't held them back, I wouldn't have had time to notice that those pianos were still working, so we're half a party for this medal. ”
"Good. Yi Fu nodded and smiled, Xue Erxun reached out to arrange her hair that was a little messy from the battle just now, her fingertips were faintly warm, and when they touched her cold cheeks, she felt a burst of warmth.
She is a woman as warm as the sun.
She thought.
