Chapter 39: Castle Exploration
The grave keeper walked slowly in front of him with a dim oil lamp that was almost useless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The place where the three of them walked was a Gothic castle not far away.
The massive buildings exude an ancient aura under a dark sky, which reminds the egret of where the vampires she saw on TV live.
There's a cemetery next to it, and it's really like it.
But what did the grave keepers bring them here for?
He walked to the castle and groped his way through his wide black robe, and it took a long time to pull out a string of rusty keys from it and open the heavy and tall gate.
"Crunch-" There was a loud bang, and he pushed the door open.
There was no large amount of dust that the egret had expected, and the grave keeper just pushed the door open a little, and looked through the crack into the darkness, not knowing what it was like inside.
He tapped the ground with a shovel a few times, and turned away silently with the oil lamp, and the black figure blended into the surroundings in a moment.
Confused, Egret looked at the gate and asked, "Did he bring us here to let us in?" ”
"Looks like so."
The green kite also expressed his incomprehension of the behavior of the tomb keepers, and deliberately led them over and let them into the ancient castle, why, is there something strange in this ancient castle?
As for whether he has good intentions or ill intentions, he has already come here anyway, so let's go in and have a look.
The egret pushed open the door, and it was always dark in front of her, and she stood in the doorway, hesitating for a moment. The green kite took her hand and walked in, she still rubbed it out of instinct, in fact, her heart refused!
She's a girl too! Let her enter a medieval castle nestled in a cemetery, who wouldn't want to!
The green kite seemed to see her hesitation and held back a smile, but the corners of her mouth still curved a small arc. Anyway, she's still a little girl.
"I'm here." He reassured.
"I'm not afraid!" The egret twisted his head, duplicitous.
"I didn't say anything."
"You ......"
The two of them walked in as they spoke, because none of them were mages, so it was unrealistic to use spells for lighting.
However, what happened next helped them.
Because when they didn't have many steps deep into the castle, the candles on the walls on both sides lit up in rows, lit inward little by little, and instantly illuminated the lobby on the ground floor of the castle.
Unexpectedly, the lobby is very clean, like someone living here, cleaning for a long time, otherwise it would not be possible to be so clean.
The lobby floor is covered with a burgundy carpet in bright colors, the lobby is oval in shape, and if you walk in a little, there will be a few small steps leading down to the center of the lobby, where a circular area is slightly sunken, where several leather sofas are placed, and there is a long, beautifully carved coffee table.
The surrounding walls are carved with lifelike human figures, as seen in Western paintings, half-naked plump women and sturdy men, gods from Greek mythology, Cupid with wings that seem to fly in the air, and so on.
At intervals a candle is placed, burning its own life at the moment, illuminating the beauty in front of them.
"It's so pretty." The egret's fingers caressed the relief on the wall, and its mouth was amazed.
"Yes." The green kite looked up, looking at the statue of a half-naked woman, and after the egret turned her head to find it, her little face was slightly red, and she muttered softly.
"Pervert!" It doesn't matter if the other party hears it or not, blurts it out.
For some reason, an unknown emotion appeared in the egret's heart, a little annoyed and a little angry, the mood to admire the relief disappeared in an instant, she turned around and walked to the central sofa, she wanted to sit down but was attracted by the teacup on the table.
There is water in the teacup, or steaming hot water! It's just poured in!
In this case...... The egret looked up and looked around.
There really are people living in the castle, eh...... Living NPCs.
After looking at the lobby, they continued to explore. In the inner place, there are three passages on the left, center, and right. On the left is a large door, and in the middle is a staircase going upstairs.
In order to save time, the blue kite suggested that one person go through the two doors first.
Egret happily accepted it, and now she is much more relaxed than the little girl just now. She chose the right side, and the two said yes, and they would have a private chat when they encountered a situation or the end of the exploration, and they parted ways.
The door on the right is much more prosperous than the one on the left, and the pattern on the door is more delicate and complex, and the pattern seems to be a combination of thorns and roses, entwined, and has a different kind of beauty. The egret pushed away, still endlessly black, but upon entering, the lighting of the candle shocked her with the scene in front of her.
The room is not big, but the height is very high!
To describe the height of this room in one word, "Breaking the Sky" couldn't be more appropriate.
What shocked her the most was not the unusual design of the room, but the books on the entire wall! The walls are full of all the thick and thin ones that have no end in sight! The amount is simply staggering!
The room is cylindrical in shape, and in the middle is everything that a normal study room has, a desk and a chair, and it is a small but library-like study.
The egret went around and pulled a book from the wall at random, originally thinking that there were so many books, the maker would definitely mix water when making games, and turning over these books was actually white.
I didn't expect that there are really words!
The book that Egret has in her hand now is full of dense English, she has not read it, but judging from the feel of this book and the yellowed pages, it is a certain age.
On the central desk lay a few pieces of parchment, with patterns drawn on them that she could not read, and the polite egret knew it, and it was better for her not to touch these personal things without the permission of the owner.
At this moment, the contents of a piece of parchment made her gaze stop, not for any reason, but because it had the word "Asia" written on it.
On the paper there is something like a circular diagram, with the United States pointing to Asia, Asia pointing to Europe, Europe pointing to Africa, and Africa pointing to the Americas.
What does this mean? What do these arrows point to?
There were many drawers in the desk, but out of etiquette, the egret kept his curiosity and prepared to continue studying the contents of the paper.
The Friends bar lights up.
It's over so soon? Or has something happened? The egret clicked on, and the data board displayed the message of the green kite.
[Sky Kite]: Come here, I found something strange.
Something weird?
The egret had no choice but to put down the "work" at hand and went out to the door on the left.
I thought that the green kite would be waiting for her with the strange thing he said, who knows! The entrance is a long corridor, and there is only one door at the end!
That's what he called "weird stuff"? Door?
