Chapter 31: The Angel in Black

"There might be a cistern at the end of here." Adrian and Caegon had walked down the spiral stone staircase for about ten turns, and they noticed what seemed to be a bright liquid underneath, and they heard the sound of dripping water from the damp walls.

"Maybe it's a pool of ale." Kagong got a little carried away.

"Idiot, if it's really ale, why don't you smell it now?" Adrian retorted.

The dwarf had a point, and he was dumbfounded, ready for the last struggle: "Fuck it, you'll know when the time comes, it's better to have hope than to have no hope."

Adrian smiled, and although Kagun's words were rough, he was not rough, and he was often able to say something very philosophical.

After dozens of laps of tossing, the two finally came to the edge of the pool, and what appeared in front of them was a huge underground water storage equipment.

Goune scratched his ears and cheeks, "Which birdman is so leisurely." It took so much effort to build such a half-dead cistern, so that Lao Tzu thought he had wine to drink."

Adrian took advantage of the glow of the magic match to take a closer look at the surroundings, only to see that the water in the pool was slightly red.

There was no smell of ale in the air, but there was a faint smell of rose 'flower' powder in the air. The dwarf Kai Gong knew nothing about these things.

As soon as the dwarf's words fell, from the bottom of the lake suddenly came a burst of "hairy" laughter.

"What a musical angel, there will be angels where this kind of bird doesn't." Kagong yelled.

"I'm your Angel of Music, I'm the Angel of Music, you're here and you're not a small man, come on, see the music spell I've been orchestrating for years."

"Where are you hiding, so ashamed that you don't want to see people, what else are you talking about?" Kagen is still unrelenting.

"Ha, the reckless man with five short statures is really a son who can't be taught. The voice was clearly asking Adrian on the side.

"Since the master wants to show us his 'fine' skill, then of course we are happy to appreciate it, but please don't pretend to be so 'ghost', because this will only increase the barrier between you and me, and will not contribute to a peaceful and smooth flow of 'exchange' in the slightest."

The voice coming from the bottom of the lake suddenly ceased, and Kagong sneered, "Sure enough, it's still unsightly.

"I am not a wicked person." The voice retorted in surprise. Come up."

"What's the matter, why did this birdman run over us again, so he 'made' a trick ruffian." Kai Gen was unhappy, he had turned around so many times and went downstairs, he was already tired enough, and now he had to turn back the same way.

Adrian didn't complain, he walked ahead of Kaigen this time, and when he looked up, he could vaguely see a dark figure sitting in the same place where the piano that had inspired the mechanism.

The man played a very discordant note intermittently, and if someone who knew music theory came to listen, he would probably be 'confused', and the dwarf and Adrian were stupid, and they couldn't understand it, and they wouldn't be 'confused' by this thing.

The man in black saw the two of them panting and walked up, and let out a slight sigh of emotion from his throat: "It's been so many years.

"What." Adrian and Kaegon were both startled, and the dwarf hurriedly prepared to pull out the two bright axes from his waist.

The man in black let out a terrible laugh, and he touched the keys of the entire piano with his two untrimmed fingernails, and then slammed it down with his elbow, and a particularly permeating and awkward atmosphere permeated the room.

In the silence, he finally spoke, "How the hell did you two get in?"

Adrian carefully looked up and down the black man by the flickering light of the candle on the piano stand, perhaps due to the dim lighting.

The fact that this is a strange and strange man is almost unequivocal, and what Adrian wants to find out is whether he is good or evil, and what he is doing here.

The man in black was extremely unstable in his mood and thoughts, and although Kaegon and Adrian had caught his attention before, the mysterious man seemed to be caught up in his own inner world again. Anna, Anna, can you bear to abandon me here for more than ten years, I am your mentor, I am your musical angel, you have imprisoned me here in spite of these kindnesses, you and I not only have a teacher-student friendship, but also a tender and sweet feeling. The fame and fortune of the world have easily swept you away, leaving me, a dead man in the shape of a withered tree, here to pray for you.Yes, I hate you, but I still love you.When will you change your mind.I will forgive you at once.Anna.Anna......"

The mysterious man's self-catharsis made the two strangers who had just arrived on the side feel a little at a loss for a while.Adrian tried his best to prevent Cagen from saying the wrong thing.In order to prevent Kagong from saying the wrong thing, Adrian vigorously blocked his mouth with a big hand.When the mood of the man in black gradually calmed down again, he took the initiative to step forward and follow the man's train of thought, "Who is Your Excellency? Why do you live in this dark place?Who is the Anna you just mentioned?Is it that she imprisoned you here?"

"The question is always the question, and after all these years, there is no one who can give me a satisfactory answer, even if it is a no, are you the one she sent, is she a change of heart, are you willing to die for her, are you a special favor?" The man in black looked agitated again, but he didn't leave his seat, still just venting his frustration on the keys.

"This madman doesn't make sense, there's nothing to be nostalgic about here anyway, there's no ale or 'pee.' just a mess of the smell of fat powder. Kagun's impatience was so great that he had tried to restrain himself from saying anything more fiery.

The mysterious man first sneered, and then began to laugh wildly. The posture was too terrifying. If it weren't for the boldness of the other two newcomers, he would have been paralyzed on the ground. Now that you're here, don't even think about going out, this place is a cursed place, a magical shackle that is almost impossible to break, whether it's light or sound, whether it's age or memory, it's frozen here."

"What a 'mess' of nonsense." Kagun's anger almost reached his throat, his red beard seemed to be pulled by an external force, and each one stood upright. You can open the door, we've explored it, there's nothing in there, there's just a crazy guy talking nonsense."

There was no response at all, because the necromancer and the others outside couldn't hear the movement inside.

There was no other commendable response in the room except for the discordant notes that the man in black had 'made' on the piano.

The man in black played his own music and said lightly: "If you come, you will be safe, and the only thing that has accompanied me for more than ten years is this piano and those roses that will never wither.

"Damn." When Kagen heard this, he immediately turned the axe and slashed directly at the back of the man in black, but to his surprise, the guy seemed to be just a phantom, and the axe did not touch any body, and he cut the chair in two.

Adrian and the dwarf were all taken aback, and the mysterious figure suddenly disappeared in such an inexplicable manner, and just as they were 'groping' the piano in detail, the voice of the man in black suddenly came up from the cistern below: "I forgive you for this rudeness, but if it happens again, I will make your head the ornament of my bed."

"Trickster turtle son." Kegan was angry, he didn't realize the treacherous situation, he thought it was the guy who was playing tricks on the two of them.

Adrian was relatively calm, he felt that the man in black must have a lot of origin, if it was really like what he said, if he had been alone here for more than ten years, there must be some earth-shattering secret hidden behind it.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, let alone a madman.

'Want' to know how the future will play out, and continue to do so next time.
