Chapter 166: See the Pentagram Again
In the European Middle Ages, alchemists drew a model of the small universe based on the mannequin, the outer circle represents the universe, and the head, hands and feet correspond to the five corners of the pentagram, symbolizing the **** of the core of the small universe in the center of the circle. Therefore www.biquge.info warlocks believed that the "small universe" of man was governed by the five stars.
Since the pentagram can be drawn with a single stroke, the ancients also superstitiously believed that he could protect against the encroachment of demons and evil spirits. In the occult magic circle, the circular magic circle is used to protect the caster himself, while the pentagram is used to seal the demonic power, and the five intersections of its lines are thought to be "doors" that can seal the demon, sealing the demon in a pentagonal shape in the middle of the pentagram.
As a result, the Church has also made the pentagram the "Devil's Crest", "Mystic Cross", and "Mage Star", and even claimed that some demons have a pentagram on their heels.
Walking between several houses, Chen Mo and Yun Xingyu Shi always had a strange feeling, walked back and forth a few times, and finally understood the source of this strange feeling, the arrangement of these houses also seems to present a pentagram, after discovering this, I suddenly remembered that the painting in the hotel seems to be the top view of these houses, and the incomprehensible patterns in the picture are actually trees and some flower beds here.
The center of the pentagram is also a house for a sub-vocational trainer. Upon entering the house, there are two female NPCs on the first floor. Adler Fyoder, a kind middle-aged woman, is a skilled tanner who is skilled in tanning leather, polishing and coloring. Although there was some suspicion here, under the questioning of the two, Fiodd still told the two about those somewhat sentimental pasts.
Her husband was killed in the war against the darkness, and for many years she lived with the skinner named Helenny. Helenny, on the other hand, used her kindness and sharp sword to help Fiod through the difficult years of more than ten years.
During the conversation, Helenny didn't say a word next to her, just looked at the three of them with a smile. With the permission of the two people, Chen Mo and the two went upstairs to check and found that the atmosphere here was indeed a little weird, there were six, seven or eight chairs in a larger room, and a strange painting hung on the wall, and there was also a five-pointed star pattern in the painting, but this pattern was slightly weird, and it seemed to be upside down. There is also a patch on the wooden floor that is a little weird, but because the two NPCs are still there, it is inconvenient for Yun Xingyu Shi to directly release the light technique to investigate, so the two decided to leave first, and then find a chance to explore carefully.
When they went down to the first floor, Fiod was sitting in a chair, looking at the two of them and smiling, but the deep gaze made the two of them shudder, and the words were inexplicable, such as "How are they?" Words like "I like the smell of leather" made Chen Mo scratch his head, but he carefully recalled the layout of the second floor, and his scalp was a little numb.
Who do "they" refer to? Who are so many chairs for? And what is the material of that huge piece of leather tanned in front of the wardrobe?
The two left the strange hut with doubts, and when they went out, Helenny stopped the two, and after following the two out of the hut, bluntly said that Fiod's husband did not die on the battlefield, but was probably murdered, and the murderer was probably in this small village. But Fei Oude has a slight problem with his spirit, and he is unable to investigate these, I hope that Chen Mo and the others can help investigate, if the real murderer is found, then he will get the punishment he deserves!
Not surprisingly, Chen Mo and Yun Xingyushi took over this task called the truth.
Since the mission instructions were so, the two began to explore each house and NPC in the place one by one.
From the conversations with various NPCs, it is known that this place is only a few decades old, and Fiod and Helenny are the early residents of the area, followed by another woman in a house located at the apex of Pentagram, the culinary trainer: Priheath.
As for the arrangement of the buildings here, everyone said that they didn't feel any strange, and when they came here, the buildings were there, but they were slightly renovated according to personal preferences. If anything, it's the nearby cemetery, where there are seven new coffins, except for the old ones, but only one of them is buried in a burial bag, and the other six are empty.
Wandering among the NPCs, time flew by, and Chen Mo and Yun Xingyu Shi returned to the hotel and began to discuss countermeasures. At present, the most suspicious is the cooking trainer named Priheath, to say strange things, because this woman, the knife used for cooking is neither a fruit knife, nor a household kitchen knife, looking at the thickness of the blade and the wide blade, this is clearly the bone chopper used by those butcher executioners, a woman using this kind of knife, obviously a bit exaggerated. Since it's nightfall, these NPCs should have rested
When Chen Mo and Yun Xingyushi walked out of the hotel, they happened to see a familiar figure walking towards the dock by the lake, it was Fei Oude himself! Chen Mo and Yun Xingyu Shi didn't dare to be careless at all, although these NPCs were not combat NPCs, their own level was as high as 30, and they were easy to be discovered if they were not careful. Using houses and trees as cover, Chen Mo and Yun Xingyu Shi also followed Fiod and slowly approached the lake. However, the next scene that happened made Chen Mo and the others completely stunned.
After Fiod walked to the end of the dock, she didn't stop at all, but walked directly into the lake step by step, until the lake completely covered her head, and when Chen Mo and Yun Xingyushi hurried to the lake, not a single bubble came out of the water.
The two of them rushed to Fiod's house again, the door was unlocked, and the two went directly into it, and found that Helenny was not in the room, and the two ran up to the second floor, and found that the chairs that had been placed in a row had been placed in the room according to the direction of the pentagram, and the center was exactly the place where there was a patch on the ground.
At this time, the room was empty, and Yun Xingyu Shi had no scruples, and directly launched the light technique, in this milky white light. The phantoms of five children appeared on the five chairs, all of whom were hideous-looking, and after feeling the nasty light emitted by the light spell, they all hissed in unison and turned into ghosts and began to attack.
These level 20 undead creatures, although they are not elite-level monsters, but 5 suddenly surged, which still made the two of them a little scrambling, especially in the space in the room, both of them were a little unable to perform, and these undead creatures that did not have a collision volume themselves were like fish in water, shuttling up and down between the floors, constantly launching sneak attacks on the two.
However, Yun Xingyu Shi has obviously experienced wind and waves, and this scene is not enough to make this lady mess up, and while trying to maintain the light technique, she is also taking care of the treatment of the two.
And Chen Mo will not be frightened by this terrifying scene, the atmosphere here was mysterious and abnormal before, at this time, even if a high-level demon crawls out of this pentagram, Chen Mo can accept it. (To be continued.) )
