1. Fake death
In the easternmost part of the Sisi Mountains, deep in the ancient jungle of Terba just outside the border town of the Choal Empire, there is a castle. The castle was shrouded in a black fog all year round, and no light could penetrate the black fog and shine into the castle.
There is a legend about this castle. It is inhabited by a powerful necromancer who enslaves thousands of powerful undead creatures to occupy the castle and has been forging a legendary staff.
The rumor of a terrifying necromancer, a legendary-level staff, attracts a large number of adventurers. However, all attempts to enter the castle failed. Anyone who tried to get close to the castle was either eroded by the black fog and lost consciousness, or the equipment on their bodies inexplicably combusted and set themselves on fire.
After all kinds of failures, gradually, no one approached here again, leaving only a terrifying legend of the "Fog Capital".
"The Castle of Horrors described in this story is our home. In a large, brightly lit and luxuriously decorated living room, an elderly man closed the storybook that should have been placed in the study and said to the children around him, "That's all for today's story." It's time for you to go back to your rooms and rest. ”
After the children returned to the room, there was a dark shadow in the corner of the hall, and a young man in a black robe walked up to the old man and said, "Old man, are you scaring the children again?"
"It turned out that Gao Han had returned. The old man smiled and nodded, "They are all better than you, at least they haven't peed their pants." ”
"I'm not afraid now. A dagger appeared out of thin air in Gao Han's hand, and he took a posture that he thought was very stylish, "Darkness is my most loyal companion. ”
"As long as you don't have anyone to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. ”
"If you die old man, you will expose my shortcomings. When I succeed to the position of patriarch, you will be good-looking. ”
"Then I'll wait and see. ”
When the two were arguing, another teenager ran into the hall wrapped in a sheet, and when he saw Gao Han, he opened his hands and pounced: "Brother, you're finally back......" The sheet fell to the ground because of the teenager's too vigorous movement, and he hung naked on the black-robed boy, shouting affectionately: "I want to kill you." ”
"Gao He, I miss you too. Gao Han touched his brother's head dotingly, "You just got up from bed, and your sleeping habits haven't changed." Old man, I have something to say to Gao He, so let's go back to the room first. With that, Gao Han and his younger brother turned into black shadows and disappeared to the ground.
"The relationship between the two brothers is still so good. The old man nodded and called, "Philippon, is the porridge ready, I'm a little hungry." ”
"Master, the porridge is ready. At the call of the old man, the butler named Philimon pushed the door in, put a bowl of freshly boiled porridge in front of the old man, and said, "Master, this is the snowflake porridge you want." ”
The old man picked up the spoon and savored it.
......
Besides, after the two brothers returned to the room, Gao Han and Gao He quarreled for a while, and after that, Gao Han revealed a message to Gao He: "I found her." ”
"Congratulations, man. Are you going to get off the list so soon?" Gao He's gossip soul was burning, "Where is that girl? Have you met? Have you spoken? Did she promise you?"
"Nope. Gao Han's crisp and neat answer disappointed Gao He, "So do me a favor." ”
"What's the matter? As long as you tell me, I'll do it. Gao He patted his chest and reassured.
Gao Han whispered a few words in Gao He's ear, Gao He's eyes widened, he touched Gao Han's head, and said to himself: "I don't have a fever, how can I talk nonsense?"
"Come less. Gao Han slapped away Gao He's cheap hand and said, "Do you want to do it?"
"No, brother, what about you?" Gao He was a little speechless, "It's just chasing a girl, do you need to fake your death and run away from home?"
"Didn't I chase it?" Gao Han said helplessly, "I'm not like you, I will peek at girls taking a bath at the age of ten." I only crossed paths with her once. Besides, who would like an assassin who lives in the shadows all day. I take this opportunity to completely drag away from my family and live the life I love. ”
"Don't let your father hear you. Otherwise, he will punish you for sleeping in the graveyard. ”
"Less nonsense. In the end, can you help me cheat to death? ”
"Help, help, help, who made you my brother. Gao He lay on the bed and asked, "But after you cheat to death, those things from before will definitely not be used anymore, otherwise my father will find out." Forget it all for me. ”
"Think beautifully, you. Gao Han rewarded Gao He with a burst of chestnuts, "I have asked Julie to help me transfer some of my property." It's enough for me for the time being. Don't move the rest, and I'll come back and get some if I don't have enough one day. One less child wants you to look good. ”
"Isn't Julie dead?"
"I can cheat to death. Why can't Julie?"
"Then I don't do any good? Gao He turned over and covered the quilt and pretended to sleep, but heard Gao Han say slowly: "Really, how did I hear that last month, someone made a private agreement with Miss Gao Gang of Jinghao Commercial Bank for life, and was almost unloaded." And in the days I let Julie fake her death, how did you comfort her sister Rickie?
"How do you know these things?" Gao He sat up and looked at his brother in confusion, and said, "You are following me?!"
Gao Han patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "What do you do in our business, how can you do it without any news in your hand." Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
"Count you ruthless, keep it secret for me, I'll help you. ”
"That's my good brother. Gao Han whispered a few words in front of his younger brother, and then instructed: "Drag me for at least three days." Good night. ”
"Three days ......" Faced with the "hell-level" mission left by his brother, Gao He fell into deep thought......
After getting his younger brother, Gao Han returned to his long-lost bedroom. Walking into the bedroom, a doll identical to Gao Han was already placed on the bed. The geothermal magic array has also been filled with a huge amount of energy, and as long as it is activated, it will be overloaded and cause a fire.
Julie, who was hiding on the side, greeted her: "Young master, everything is ready." You can go as soon as it is dawn. ”
"No, I'll leave tonight. Let's go now. Gao Han opened the bedroom window, it was summer, and even at night he could hear the phantom leafhopper calling. Gao Han pulled Julie and jumped down from the window, and in the process of landing, the two turned into shadows and fled into the distance.
"You can't fool those old guys with the dolls you make. The sooner we leave, the less likely we are to be tracked. I just hope my brother can delay a little longer. ”
