Duran climbed the escalator up the attic, and he bent down and rubbed his fingers against the thin wooden floor, which was surprisingly spotless.

Compared to the dusty room on the second floor, this little attic seems to be much cleaner.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Duran held his breath and followed the key points of the stealth as he walked deeper into the attic.

Who knew that at this time, a cough suddenly came from the darkness.

Duran frowned, and suddenly, a bright light came from the front, and then someone was heard, "Who is it?" Who's where? ”

The voice was flat and somewhat weak, mixed with a few inconspicuous coughs, as if it were a sick person.

Duran narrowed his eyes, and the light in the depths of the attic grew brighter and brighter, and before long, a man of medium stature stood beside the two bookcases with an oil lamp full of surprise.

"I've nailed the door shut, how did you get in?" The man coughed and looked at Duran with some curiosity.

Duran didn't let his guard down, the man in front of him didn't seem to have any malicious intent, but who knows what was going on in this hellish place. The first task of the Evil Lands is to clean up the cemetery, and Duran doesn't need to deal with people at all, just deal with those evil monsters. But this mission is completely different, the mission document does not clearly state that these mission objectives are to be eradicated, and the fundamental purpose is to eliminate the evil forces of this house.

Neither the ghost brothers nor the headless girl have given a clear source of this evil power, although all the clues point to the legendary demon, but Duran doesn't even know what this demon is called and what it looks like, and the mission is still confused.

"Hello, my name is Duran, and if I'm not mistaken, you should be Mr. Peron, right?"

Duran showed a friendly smile, and the information returned back by the visual skill was pitiful, except for Belon's name and level, which was basically exactly the same as the information given by the evil contract.

That's not a good thing.

However, since he can communicate in words, Duran is not ready to resort to force, and it is easy for his little skill to intimidate and intimidate the iron man, but it is better to be more leisurely in the face of level 19 resentful spirits.

The man nodded, and said very seriously: "Yes, I'm Veron, you shouldn't have come in, this is an ominous place." As you can see, I'm no longer human, and the power of the demons has turned me into a ghost, and I still have some intelligence, otherwise you'd be confronted by a ghost who only knows how to kill. ”

Duran's heart moved, it seemed that Belon was much better at talking than the headless girl and the ghost brothers, and he might as well start from him to find the clues of the demon.

Then he shrugged, "Thank you for your kindness, but I am on a mission to destroy the demons that are entrenched here, and the believers of the Dawn Church never know what it means to give up halfway. I would appreciate it if you could tell me exactly what's going on here. ”

The brazen Duran once again pulls the tiger flag, and the Dawn Church has always been the nemesis of evil. Even in the dark Third Age, under the rule of the evil dragon, there are some ascetics, fanatics, and archbishops in the Church of Dawn who have not fled into the shelter. They chose to stay on the continent of Faynand, spreading the teachings of the Lord of the Dawn openly or covertly, while driving away evil for the inhabitants of various places.

And the glory of the Lord of Dawn has long been integrated into the blood of every descendant of the Ember people, this is the deepest imprint of the soul, and time and power cannot erase it.

"You were sent by the Church of Dawn?" Beron's eyes lit up, and he immediately coughed violently: "I'm sorry, in fact, before I became a ghost, I didn't know that spirits could cough too......"

The man smiled humorously and motioned for Duran to follow him, "It's eight o'clock in the evening, and there are still four hours left before twelve o'clock when I lose my mind, and I think we have plenty of time." ”

Duran's heart moved: Twelve o'clock when he lost his mind? Could it be that this guy's current sobriety is only temporary?

The two of them walked to the depths of the attic, and behind the rows of bookcases was a small bed that was not too wide. Kerosene lamps were lit on a desk, and a few beautifully bound books were scattered across the horizontal desk. Duran glanced at the books seemingly casually, still indifferent on the surface, but in his heart there was a turbulent wave.

These books? These languages ...... I see. Duran's heart suddenly brightened.

"My ancestors also had a few scholars, so there are a lot of books in this house." Veron smiled and cleared the desk, handed a chair to Duran, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Duran smiled, but didn't sit down. His gaze wandered in all directions, carefully observing his surroundings.

The pale-faced man crossed his fingers, put his thumb against his forehead, and suddenly spoke: "Since Your Excellency was sent by the Dawn Church, then my letter, the Bishop should have seen it, right?" ”

Duran nodded without blushing and heartbeat: "Recently, the evil forces have been quite rampant, and the bishop is short of many people, so he gave me a treasure and asked me to come and deal with that demon." ”

"Treasures?" Perón gave a curious look.

Duran blinked his eyes and put the inferior holy water and mutton fat candle on the desk: "You see, these two things are necessary for the exorcist master of the Dawn Church to travel. Of course, these are not treasures, but I have placed them here to truly restrain the demons. ”

Duran patted his bulging little satchel and said to Veron mysteriously, "Your Excellency Bishop said that no matter how powerful the demon is, under the tremendous power of this treasure, it can only be disarmed and surrendered!" ”

An unnatural smile appeared on Veron's pale face.

"Alright, Mr. Peron, can you tell me the ins and outs of the matter in detail?" Duran hung his small satchel on the chair without moving, and muttered: "The two ghosts below, and the headless female ghost, can't tell anything clearly, and they still want to hurt me, but they have all been eliminated by me now." ”

"Oh? They were wiped out by you? It's—it's a shame. Veron said regretfully: "Forget the pair of homeless brothers, they are the culprits of this incident...... It's just that I pity my Anna, how could the two of us be so unfortunate to be involved in such a thing just after we fell in love. My poor Anna ......"

Duran coughed and motioned for Veron to get down to business.

The man coughed for a while, and slowly began to narrate:

"It's just as I said in my letter. That night, the tailor took two orders, and the customer said that he would come in the evening to get the clothes, but I waited until it was almost dark, and they didn't come. I had made an appointment with Anna, but if I left, the two late guests might not get their clothes.

So I called the Schubert brothers, and kindly invited the two poor tramps to a supper. The only thing I wanted them to do was to show me the tailor's shop and wait for the two guests to come and give them the finished clothes, and that's it...... But who knew that such a disaster would be caused! ”

A painful look appeared on Beron's face, and he clasped his head tightly in his hands: "After I finished my tryst with Anna, I returned to the tailor's shop in high spirits, only to find that the Schubert brothers were nowhere to be found...... At that time, I had an ominous premonition in my heart. I am reminded of the legend of my ancestors - somewhere in this house, there is a terrifying demon sealed, and every night when the seal is weak, this demon will come out to do strange things. I inherited the house fearlessly, but I followed my uncle's advice never to open the attic in the bathroom of the side bedroom on the second floor.

When I found out that the homeless brother was missing, I immediately rushed to the second floor, and as I guessed, the attic door was opened.

I was terrified and wanted to run out into the street, but I didn't know when it started, the world was already dark in my eyes, and I walked around the street, but I couldn't meet anyone!

I couldn't find the church, so I went home in despair and wrote the letter. Who knew I hadn't finished writing yet, a terrifying voice began whispering in my ear, and I knew it was him...... It's that horrible demon!

He was tempting me to fall, I rejected him, and then I began to vomit blood like crazy...... I felt one of my sharp little hands tearing at my lungs, and I could barely speak. Finally I handed the letter through the crack in the door, and nailed it to the ground - I didn't want anyone else, especially Anna, to walk into the house and become a demon minions......

But unexpectedly, Anna still came, poor Anna...... She had no resistance other than her love for me.

Demons, demons brutally cut off her head. We've all become wraiths, and under the power of the demons, we can only wander in certain spaces of this house. I was fortunate enough to have twelve hours of waking hours a day, while the brothers Anna and Schubert were forever confused, presumably because they were not very devout in their faith in our Lord. ”

When Peron's story was finished, Duran was not satisfied, and he raised his eyebrows: "So, Mr. Peron, can you tell me, where is that terrible and cruel demon right now?" ”

Veron shook his head tiredly, "I don't know, Mr. Duran, I really don't know. Ever since he was released by the Schubert brothers, a powerful force has made him omnipotent and elusive. He is usually in this attic, perhaps because the seal has not been completely lifted. And the reason why he allowed me to have twelve hours of sobriety was probably because I was too bored alone. ”

"You mean, the demon could come back at any time?"

Belon nodded and smiled slightly: "If you want to deal with him, then you have to prepare early." ”

"But before that, Mr. Duran, can you show me your treasure against demons? After all, I've been with the demon for a long time, and I'm very familiar with him. If your treasure is not strong enough, I'm afraid it won't hurt him, in that case, it's better for you to leave early. ”
