The woman with her cloak was almost dragged out of the banquet hall by the fishy minions.

……

"I'm sorry that it affected everyone's dining atmosphere."

Valred clapped his hands and smiled apologetically at Bai Ye, then calmly walked back to his place and sat down, continuing to tease the half of the steak on his plate.

"This is my wife, Athanas, who suffered a huge psychological shock a year ago because of the sudden death of her father, so much so that she is not in a good mental state until now."

At this, Valred's expression fell into a wave of sorrow.

"Her condition has been good and bad, and I am not worried or reluctant to send her to a state nursing home, where it is said that patients who go there will be tortured and mentally ill even if they are not mentally ill."

"Young Master Izawa, your wife's illness will definitely get better."

Professor Derby comforted.

"Thank you, Professor, I hope so too." Valred nodded at Edward Derby in gratitude, "Please forgive her for being abrupt, she should have just wanted to show her welcome to the guests." ”

Bai Ye bowed slightly, indicating that he could understand, but the question mark in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

He felt as if Athanas was trying to say something to himself just now, and the plea in her eyes was very obvious at that time......

"Athanas and I met in college, she was a year older than me, and we fell in love at first sight, so we didn't wait to graduate from college, we went back to the Izawa family's ancestral home and lived together."

"Athanas is a free, lively, and restless character, she loves adventure and mysteries, and I once suggested that she join your Explorers Society, hehe."

Valred may have seen a trace of confusion in Bai Ye's expression, so he talked about his love affair with Athanas and his understanding of each other, as if he wanted to dispel the doubts in the other party's heart.

Now there is not much evidence to show whether this Athanas is really crazy or fake crazy, Bai Ye is not good at breaking the casserole and asking the end, so he can only smile awkwardly, and say a few polite words such as the two of you are really in love with each other, and sending dog food will cause discomfort again.

……

After such a small episode, the three of them had no interest in continuing to eat.

Valred stood up and proposed, "Then next, please ask the professor and Mr. Investigator to follow me to the basement of the ancestral mansion, where the stone statue that the Izawa family has guarded for generations is stored, let's study it together." ”

Professor Derby was already impatient, and immediately stood up, rubbed his hands, and echoed, "Then what are you waiting for, let's start quickly." ”

Bai Ye didn't have any objections, just looking at the two sculptures on hand couldn't see anything famous, maybe there would be a different prompt after collecting all three sculptures.

He got up from his seat, picked up the suitcase and his bag, and walked out of the ballroom with Professor Derby behind Valred.

On the way, when passing by the antechamber of the ancestral mansion, Bai Ye noticed that the servant covered in fishy smell had just come down from the upper floor, holding a tray in his hand, and in the tray was an empty cup.

"Did she drink the medicine?"

Valred asked as he passed by.

The servant hurriedly nodded yes.

"That's good, you have to serve her well and let her rest early."

Valred admonished, and waved the servant to retreat.

Then he turned back to Bai Ye and smiled, "You know, Asanas's illness...... It is special and cannot be cured, and can only be relieved by medicine. ”

You're too diligent in explaining, aren't you? It's like I'm afraid I'll misunderstand.

Bai Ye had no choice but to nod again to show his understanding, and the trust in this Valred in his heart had dropped to the bottom.

The more he explains, the more he wants to hide something, and the more he hides it, the more it means that he has a ghost in his heart.

As they spoke, the three of them had already passed through the antechamber and descended the stairs to the dimly lit basement of the ancestral home.

Valred lit a lantern near the entrance to the basement, held it in his hand, and turned back to the two of them, "The road ahead is a little dark, so in order to avoid triggering some unnecessary dangers, you two should follow me next." ”

……

The basement of Izawa's ancestral house has a long, dark corridor, and there are no lamps on either side of the corridor that can provide illumination, and the only source of light is the kerosene lamp in Valred's hand.

After walking forward for a few minutes, avoiding a few hidden mechanisms, a stone chamber of about ten square meters appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Here we are."

Valred was the first to enter the stone chamber, and the light of the lantern was just enough to illuminate the inside of the chamber.

Bai Ye noticed that there was a sarcophagus matching the strange sculpture in the stone room, and the sides of the sarcophagus were also carved with floral patterns, but the coffin lid lacked that sky-blue gem.

Valred took out the gem from his arms and showed it to Bai Ye and the others.

"This gem has magic in it, and the sarcophagus can only be opened with it."

He reached out and stroked the surface of the sarcophagus, embedded the gem in the bare groove on it, and then reached out and gently pushed it, and the seemingly heavy sarcophagus was lifted up by Valred as if it were nothing.

"Incredible!"

Professor Derby, who was next to him, let out an exclamation.

Bai Ye had already seen the magic of this gem twice, and his face did not show the slightest surprise.

"Look, this is the third 'Lalleye Statue'."

Valred lowered the lid of the sarcophagus to the ground and held the strange sculpture in the sarcophagus with both hands, as if displaying a rare treasure.

"According to ancient records, only those who carry all three 'Lareye Statues' can enter the shadowy town of Innsmouth and activate the Old God Seal. The Izawa family has been searching for two other stone statues scattered around the world for many years, but they have never been available, and now thanks to the Explorers' Guild, these three statues can be reunited! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Ye next to him, and said eagerly, "Come on, let's see how the reaction will be when all three stone statues are gathered in one place." ”

Bai Ye took out his two stone statues from the black suitcase and placed them on the sarcophagus lid.

After the three stone statues came together, the surface of the stone statues really shone with a faint light.

Click-

Slight cracks began to appear on the surface of the stone statue, and then the cracks continued to expand like earthworms, and a faint golden light shone through the cracks.

"What seems to be hidden inside them?"

Professor Derby held up his magnifying glass, his hands shaking, as if he wanted to touch the statue and feared that he would destroy it.

The cracks grew larger and wider, and more and more golden light came out of the cracks, and the stone statue peeled off its stone shell like molting, revealing the pure gold texture inside.

These three metamorphosed golden sculptures are roughly the same as the original appearance when they were wrapped in stone shells, but after peeling off the bloated stone shells on the outside, the volume is much smaller, each only the size of an adult's palm, and the texture on the surface of the sculpture appears more fine, and there is a layer of energy layer that looms like water waves on the surface, which looks quite extraordinary.
