Descending the steps, they entered a narrow, dark hallway, and soon Hasgar saw the gate at the end of the hallway.

Leshuano lowered his body, fumbled around the gate, found a switch, and pressed it down.

The mechanism turns, and the gate slowly rises.

At first, Hayser didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, but when she passed under the gate, she couldn't help but shudder.

This is an ice cellar-like storage room, which cools everything down quickly compared to a normal cellar. She had never seen so many ice cubes so huge, and when she walked in, she saw that the walls were almost covered with ice, and the huge ice blocks more than one person high were neatly stacked together, like building blocks for children to play with.

In the past month, the scorching heat has hit all corners of the castle, and if the castle has become a desert, the ice cellar is an oasis in the desert. Hasjia tried to touch the bubbling ice, but it was not as cold as he had imagined. She followed the candlelight and walked deeper, humming a song in her mouth. Leshuano led the way, slowly walking to a place where huge boxes were stored.

It was filled with chests of all kinds, huge boxes of wood and brass nails in seven or eight piles, each one so high that even if she stood on Leshuano's shoulder, it was definitely not as tall as the chests here, which presumably contained the finest wines.

Leshuano put his hand on the box and wiped the shallow dust from it. "The boxes are newly moved in. "There weren't so many boxes here," he judged. ”

"Oh?" Hasjia clasped her hands together, she could already feel the coldness here, "then what's in this box, it doesn't seem to be a wine barrel inside, here, I don't smell a little wine." ”

"Let's not touch anything here. Leshuano hated everything here, and he remembered the first time he followed the young master into here, and he resisted like a mad cat......

Hasja also put her hand on a chest, and she saw two lines of small print—fifty iron ...... sent to the Endless Wall Before she could finish the last three words of "Iron Spine Arrow", suddenly, a voice came from the corridor where they had walked before!, "Who is in there?"

The two were startled, and their eyes widened and they looked at each other.

Under the instinctive trend, Haysjia immediately ran to the back of the innermost box, and when she saw Leshuano standing there motionless, she hurriedly said, "Come here!"

Leshuano exhaled sharply, blew out the candle, and hid it behind the chest.

The sound of "knock knock" footsteps came, and the two of them were terrified, and Haysjia could feel his body trembling, and he himself was trembling with fear as much as he did.

Finally, the "dong dong" sound is getting louder and louder...... It must have been a pair of stiff boots, or maybe the footsteps of a monster...... Haysjia's mind went blank, and she felt that it was the monster on the mural on the wall of the corridor that had awakened!

Finally, a shadow came out of the shadows, a large swarthy black dog with two golden vertical pupils flickering in the candlelight. The footsteps did not come from it, but behind him, followed by a figure, holding a thick candle, which was also obviously taken from the wall lamp. In the dim light of the candle, Hasjia could see that he was a middle-aged man, with blond hair and a dark yellow beard, short and lean. She had never seen this man in the castle.

Luckily, it's not a monster...... Thinking of this, Hasja wanted to step out from behind the box, but Leshuano pulled her back, and in the darkness, she faintly saw Leshuano shaking his head.

"Who's in there?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice. "Thieves, if they don't come out, I'll let the dogs go!"

The black dog did not bark or wag its tail, but just stared silently in their direction. Hasjia had heard her father warn her that the quieter the dog, the more dangerous it was, and that she must stay away from it.

The mayor silently released the rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was connected to the neck of the big black dog.

Receiving the hint from his master, the big black dog lowered his head and slowly walked forward.

"I'm out! I'm out!" Leshuano said in the darkness, slamming Hasja's shoulder hard before going out.

Haysja sensed what he meant, and remained hiding behind the box.

The candle flame flickered, and the middle-aged man said a word softly. Hearing the roar of the big black dog, he immediately rushed up and bit Leshuano's hand in front of him, dragging him to the ground.

Listening to his terrible howl, Hasgar immediately looked back, and she seemed to hear it from the howl—don't come out!

No! I won't go out!!

"Knock knock" approached, "Let go, Black Stone." ”

The dog's name was Blackstone, so no wonder it was silent before attacking...... Hayser thought in horror that the dog's sense of smell was the most sensitive, and that she would be bitten to death by this black stone in a moment! Being bitten to death by an ugly black dog was probably the most tragic death she could think of......

The big black dog let go of the boy under his mouth, licked the blood from the tip of his nose, and glared at Leshuano.

"Get down on your knees!" he commanded.

Leshuano complied, holding his hand, and gasping for breath from the pain, he felt his intestines twist together and shatter all his internal organs.

"Hahaha! Like the black stone, the black stone gasps like this when it is hot. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Didn't your master warn you not to come here?" Yo, the kid is very beautiful, but it's a pity, starting today, you will have to have fewer parts." ”

Lesser parts? Leshuano didn't understand, he looked down at his bitten hand, and found that his ring finger and little finger were gone! Blood was spilling out of the crack, it was the big black dog......

"I promised that I wouldn't kill anyone here, but I can't let you tell me about this here, what do you say?" the middle-aged man looked down at the boy and slowly took out a delicate and shiny dagger from his arms, and he pulled the silver scabbard from the dagger, revealing a sharp blade half a foot long. "Don't worry, I'm going to be able to use the dagger! soon!" he said, suddenly pinching Leshuano's chin with one hand, and priing his mouth open with the dagger with the other!

"Uh...... Belch...... Ah......h

Blood spray splatter!

The dagger is really fast! A piece of tongue is gouged out by the dagger!

The big black dog lowered his head, sniffed the tongue, and then took it in his mouth, looked at its owner, and seemed to be instructed, and swallowed it without biting......

In the shadows, blood and tears smeared on the boy's face, and he trembled and covered his mutilated mouth with his mutilated hands...... His heart was already cold...... He remembered that a moment ago, Miss Haysjia had praised herself for her good voice, and had to teach herself to sing and dance...... Ever since I was a child, no one has ever boasted about myself, no one has ever smiled at me like that, and I have never ...... I don't know where I got the courage, he suddenly raised his head, spat out a mouthful of blood at the middle-aged man, and then ran desperately in the direction of the road......

Silently, the black dog glanced up at his master, and then turned his head to look in the direction of Hayska's hiding place in the depths of the ice cellar......
