Chapter 5: The Beginning of the Shadows

"I thought it was a beautiful legend, but how did it turn into a disaster movie in the end, I couldn't eat after listening to this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiaochun said.

"Haven't you eaten it all?" Xiaoguang complained.

"As for the lord, he is the last descendant of the royal family of Sellius, and has been in charge of the only building that has been preserved from Sellius for generations. Obviously, in Sellius, this castle is just an ordinary thing, but in this village, it seems to have become the most gorgeous building. ”

"And the lord did not leave an heir, and no one will inherit this villa in the future, and the story of Cyllus must have ended."

Speaking of this, Alyssa also showed a somewhat regretful expression.

"It's a pity, but if so many people die in one day, what would you think as their ruler?"

Thinking like this, Mei Yi always felt that she couldn't figure it out.

"Black, what would you do if it were you? Huh-black? ”

Turning her head, Mei Yi found that the black act was empty.

"Black, isn't he going to die again?"

In the past, once the black disappeared, Mei Yi and the others would worry about where he would go to cause trouble, but Theresia recently solved this problem.

Since defeating the dragon, the two have established a magical connection, which is a contract that allows Theresia, who has excess magical power, to pass on the excess magic power to Black.

Of course, since then, Theresia has also been able to perceive the location of the black.

So, Mei Yi, who couldn't find black, naturally raised her head and looked at the position of Theresia opposite.

However,

"Why not!?"

……

At this moment, Black was wandering around the third floor of the castle, not strolling around to be exact.

"Black, it's not good to walk around someone else's house without saying hello." Theresia, who was following him, said with some concern.

"What, you're still worried about that?"

"I've also learned the common sense of human beings, and if Hei wants to integrate into this world, he should also learn some common sense, otherwise it will always worry Mei and them."

Black smiled faintly.

"I still understand common sense, it's really not good for us to hang out like this and be seen by Alyssa."

"So—"

"So, wouldn't it be nice not to be seen? Theresia, you're really, you should have thought of this before I did, and you were always the one who took the lead when it came to sabotage. ”

"That was when I was a kid!" Theresia emphasized.

"Don't worry, use magic to sense nearby creatures, see through each room, and by the way, eliminate all our footprints and smells, leaving no evidence, as long as a great magician like me is not short of magic, it is almost omnipotent. Even if someone does appear out of nowhere, I have the confidence to put us into invisibility before that. ”

"It's really convenient, forget it, since you have decided so, I don't plan to stop you."

Not human in the first place, and being a dependant of Black, Theresia didn't have a reason to make Black follow human common sense.

"However, there should be some reason for walking around like this even if you don't hesitate to do this part."

"Hmm," Black affirmed.

As they spoke, the two walked up the fourth flight of stairs.

"The castle seems to have a total of 5 floors and several attic houses, while there is a cellar underground."

Kuro explained as he ascended the stairs.

"And underneath the cellar, there's a secret room."

"Chamber of Secrets!?"

"That's right, and it's not an ordinary secret room, it seems to have a special enchantment, even if you use spatial transfer, you can't jump directly to that room, I can only sense its existence with magic, but I don't know what is inside. To be sure, that room doesn't have access to the rest of the island, so if there's a way to get there, it's in the castle. ”

"So, you're just looking for secret passages layer by layer?" Theresia was surprised.

"Because isn't it very interesting, considering that this castle is the only inheritance of the Kingdom of Seerlius, so it is not surprising to find anything strange here, and the secret room does not seem to be simple."

"Based on my speculation, if what Alyssa said is true, it may not be a coincidence that Darkrai chose to stay on this island."

"Not a coincidence?"

That is, it is because of the story of Seirlius that the Darkrai appeared. And this castle is the only building left by Seerlius, plus the secret room under the castle that cannot be moved with space, can you think of anything from these? ”

Speaking of which, Theresia also understood.

"Black means that Darkrai lives in a vault underground."

Black nodded.

"If you think about it that way, the fact that no one can see that Darkrai twice makes sense."

"Like Xiao Chun, it's not for nothing that people stay on this island and wander around the mountains all day to see that Darkrai for the second time, but if that Darkrai doesn't live in the woods on the mountain in the first place, but in the underground secret room, then they won't find it no matter how they look for it."

"The reason why I go to the forest to meet those travelers is just to give them the illusion that they are living in the forest. All in all, I think there's a good chance that you'll be able to find that Darkrai in the Chamber of Secrets. ”

With that, Kuro continued to open a door without leaving a trace, examining it carefully.

"Still, we seem to be going higher and higher."

"That's right, if I set up a secret room, it will definitely be set up in a high place, after all, if most people want to find it, they will definitely find it at the bottom level. Most of the guests here live on the ground floor, but instead—"

Raise your head and look at the room in front of you.

It seems to be cleaned regularly, and the room looks very tidy, but on the contrary, there is hardly any trace of any inhabitants.

"However, the person who set up the secret room is not black."

"That's right, I'll look for it as I thought, and if I can't find it, I'll go back to the ground floor and look for it again."

Black looked back at Theresia.

"There's no need to follow me all the time."

Hearing this, Theresia smiled wryly.

"I'm not a human or an elf of this world, and for me, following you is my only pleasure."

"Hey, it's too monotonous to live like this. As a demon king in another world, I think there is no shortage of fun in this world. ”

"I'm not like Black."

"But you have feelings, and in that case, it shouldn't be a hassle to talk to the other companions about something."

"But—"

"Alright, here's the order." Black interrupted Theresia's argument with a serious look.

"Yes." Theresia gave Kuro a reluctant look, and then left the room alone.

……

By this time, the others had already finished their lunch.

"Well, now that lunch is over, the adventure continues. Xiaoguang, do you want to go with me to find that Darkrai, I feel that there is someone like you who has never seen it, maybe I can see it too. ”

"Huh? I don't want it! ”

Xiaoguang looked reluctant, but Xiaochun still grabbed her hand.

"Come on, don't be a dead house in a hotel when you come out to travel, and if you are late, you will be fined 10,000,000 yuan."

With that, Xiao Chun pulled Xiao Guang from the house to the courtyard.

"Well, the proprietress of the inn said before, there is a thunderstorm on the mountain today." Toko, who was following behind, reminded.

"Huh?"

"I don't know that you're going up the mountain, and if we don't say it, you might die on the mountain today." Xiaoguang shook off Xiaochun's hand with some disgust.

And at this moment, a snowflake falling from the sky suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

"It's snowing...... Mei said in surprise. Is there a thunderstorm on the mountain, but snow under the mountain? ”

"Here, there's always been a big difference in the weather between the mountains and the mountains." Alyssa explained. "It's not strange that it's raining in the mountains, it's snowing in the mountains, or the other way around."

As he spoke, more and more snowflakes fell to the ground, and the sky was completely obscured by the black clouds.

"It seems that even if you go up the mountain, it will be inconvenient to move around in the village. If you can, please stay in the hotel today and don't come out. Alyssa said.

And at this moment, Mei suddenly found that Theresia, who had disappeared with Black just now, had returned silently.

"Theresia, where did you just go, did you see the black?"

"I'm with him, but he seems to be busy, so he told me to come back first."

"I'm not busy with some weird things."

Theresia shook her head.

Mei Yi probably didn't know that the current Theresia had completely become Black's "dependent", even if Black was about to blow up the hotel, she would probably shake her head casually.

"Then, with Xiaoguang, there are four of us, in this kind of weather, we should play elf cards when we stay in the hotel, let's go together!"

"Huh?"

Before she could react, Toko took Theresia's hand and walked into the room.

Theresia, on the other hand, stared at the gloomy sky with some reluctance.

"For some reason, there is always a bad premonition."

……

The island's location is higher than the northernmost latitude of the Niao region, and the weather is always unpredictable due to its coastal climate. In this season, which is already approaching winter, it is not surprising that the weather suddenly becomes very cold, and it is not suitable for travel.

The temperature outside quickly dropped to about -10 degrees Celsius, and adventurers had no choice but to stay in the house.

As a very old castle, the rooms do not have a modern heating system, but rely on a fireplace.

However, living in a room in such a castle with a fireplace can give people a sense of security.

On a double bed, Mei Yi, Toko, Theresia, Hikaru and the two elves who joined black later were playing elf cards.

"Huh? Why is Meroyeta's card higher than mine? Unscientific! Xiaoxian complained with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't know much about that."

It seems that because of her shyness, the singing form Meloette who was dragged in by Xiaoxian replied cringely.

"Because the person who made the game seems to have written a fixed race value for each elf," Toko said. "In this value, Meroyeta is much higher than the fairy elf."

"It's unpleasant to use race values to measure elves or something."

"Okay, you two don't have to just use your own cards and exchange some other people's elves?" Mei Yi said, taking out a few other cards and handing them to Xiaoxian.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Miss Sirona?"

"What's the matter?"

Shirona shook her head.

"I'm just curious what you're doing, but it looks like you're doing something really interesting."

"It's a fairy card that plays as an elf, and it's fun." Hikari shook her hand at Sirona with some excitement. "How about Miss Sirona try it too?"

"Well, it does look like a lot of fun."

Sirona walked into the room with interest.

And at this moment, Xiao Chun's voice came from the corridor.

"Don't you want to go, it's because of this kind of time that Darkrai is likely to let his guard down."

"I'm not here to find Darkrai, I'm just here to fight the black."

"If you catch Darkrai, maybe you can defeat Black? Really, you don't go at this point. ”

"Xiao Chun, that guy ......"

Hearing the sound from outside the door, Xiaoguang showed a somewhat helpless expression.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself."

In this way, Xiao Chun walked through the door alone, passing by Sirona's side.

"It's snowing a lot."

"I'm not a man who gets trapped in the snow."

Instead of listening to Sirona's words, Chun walked out alone.

"What a strange teenager." Shirona didn't seem to care about Chun's appearance and walked into the room. "Well, it seems like a really interesting game, can I join it?"

"Of course!"

……

On the other side, Xiao Chun opened the gate of the castle, and almost at the same time, a biting cold wind blew in his face, blowing him back into the house.

"Although I said that I was not afraid of snow, this is too outrageous!"

This blizzard, if you don't hide in the house, will probably kill people.

A gust of cold wind hit again, as if it was going to freeze the house as well, Xiao Chun hurriedly tried to push the door again, but the cold wind prevented him from facing the door.

"It seems that the only way to do this is to have two people close the door at the same time from both sides of the door."

"But can't you go out yet? It looks like I'm going to be laughed at by the girls again, but it's not a big deal, no matter how many times I fail, I'll succeed next time! ”

Never be defeated by the cruel truth, Xiao Chun is such a person.

Even seeing "despair" in a dream didn't change him in the slightest.

However, it is this kind of person who is often targeted by some shady things.

The door had to be closed with the cold wind that kept blowing in and almost freezing the room, and he thought about calling for elves to help. At this time, he did not notice the dark shadow that suddenly appeared behind him.

"Bang! (blunt percussion)"

Chun fell to the ground. (To be continued.) )
