Chapter 179: The Ghost of the Castle
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ji Ran was right. Behind this door, there is still a large pile of sand and stones. It can be seen that this is still a corridor, but it is not clear where it leads.
Speaking of which, this skeleton alchemist could have opened the door and dug it out himself, I don't know why he didn't choose to do it.
Maybe he felt that his position in the family was so important, someone would come to his rescue...... Or is his spell not good for burrowing? Combat-wise, it was. And what he is good at is not refining the kind of magic props that can wield powerful power, and in the end, he waited here until he was dying......
And then he went crazy. After going crazy, he had no idea of escaping, but his head was filled with a thirst for flesh and blood.
The alchemist is really dead, and it is impossible to tell what the truth of the matter is, whether he thinks so or not.
The alchemy puppet was released again, digging through the corridor. This time the cloister is much shorter than the previous one, and there is also a part of it in the middle that has not been crushed. So, in the end, it took less time than before to open the corridor.
Opposite the cloister, there is also a door. Outside the door, everyone recovered, ate and drank, and recuperated before opening the door.
And then they saw that behind this gate was a castle.
That's right, the kind of castle that the nobles often built! It can be seen that the power of this nobleman must be not small, and it is not so easy for ordinary nobles to build a castle, let alone a separate alchemy room.
It was pitch black inside the castle, and there was no light at all. No way. Buried deep underground. There is simply no light coming down. And this castle has been buried underground for thousands of years. How can there still be a bright light?
What's strange is that there is still breathable air in this castle, so that people will not suffocate to death. But this place is so dark that even elves with shimmering vision can't see.
Only those races with dark vision can see things in this situation.
Ji Ran didn't dare to light up the light source. Who knows what else is hidden in this castle? If two more alchemist-like guys came up, the group was really not sure that they would be able to fight......
There was no movement elsewhere, indicating that the others had not yet arrived. That's normal. Ji Ran's progress is fast, and the excavation degree is much faster than in other aspects...... It is true that there are many of them, but the width of the cloister is limited, and it is impossible for all of them to come forward to work, and it is more likely that they will alternately rest. And in this case, how could they be more efficient than alchemy puppets?
The main purpose of this alchemy puppet is to do heavy work......
So, if you have time, it's better to explore it slowly.
But now, not being able to see things is a big problem. Although with the help of Douqi, you can barely see that the outline of this place is a castle. But I couldn't see anything in the specific places inside, and I bumped into it after entering. No matter what's inside, you can wait for someone to be there, right?
"Little Apple can see things!" At this time, Alice spoke again.
The crowd is no longer surprised...... Perhaps, this time out of the adventure, with Alice is the best choice? She has so many surprises for everyone...... While she doesn't seem to be of much help in combat, she offers a lot of things that no one else can do when it comes to exploration......
The little apple turned into a ball and spun in front of it, guiding everyone forward. After arriving at a place, Alice said, "There's a candlestick here, do you want to light it?" ”
The nobility of antiquity was very particular, and placing candlesticks in the castle was more often a taste. If you really want to talk about practicality, then magic lamps and other things should also be popularized.
"Ignite it. We also suffer from such smears. After all, if there were anything else in this castle, it would probably be undead. The undead have dark vision, we can't see it, they can see it. Ji Ran also reacted now. If you continue to smear it like this, you will be unlucky!
So the menorah was lit. Fortunately, there is still more than half of the candle.
With the light, people can see something to some extent. It was clearly a hall on the first floor of the castle, with a few tables in the middle and sand chairs around it. On one side of the room, a spiral staircase leads directly to the upper floor.
The hall was silent, and there was unburned firewood in the fireplace next to it. There were some decorative paintings and other things hanging on the walls around them, but they were too dim to see what was painted on them.
The castle was empty and gloomy, and there was no movement at all. The atmosphere was very depressing, and everyone felt quite nervous. A crazy skeleton alchemist appeared in the alchemy room, what would appear in this ancient castle?
"Hey, you're actually a guest? What a faux pas, it didn't even light the lamp! I'm really sorry, because we haven't had guests for a long time, so we're not used to lighting the lights. Please wait a minute......"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the empty hall. Everyone was startled, and turned their heads to look over, and saw a translucent figure walking out of a small door next to the hall!
The translucent figure appears to be wearing a maid's outfit, but it looks more classical. She walked out in a panic, bowed to the man, and then turned to the walls of the castle and waved her hand lightly.
With a pop, the candles hanging on the wall suddenly lit up. The maid did not stop moving, but changed direction, waved her hand again, and lit all the candles over there. She raised her head one last and looked into the center of the ceiling. Then, with a whoop, all the candles on top of a huge chandelier were lit.
"It's much brighter now. Please wait a moment, and I'll report to the host. Finally there are guests again, and the hosts will definitely be happy! ”
The translucent maid happily ran up the spiral staircase next to her, and even in a hurry, her movements were quite graceful, and she seemed to have undergone quite rigorous training.
All eyes were wide open, and they were dumbfounded.
What the hell is this...... What is also the unfolding of God?
"It's a ghost...... But why see us so calm? Rice also said that he was a little incomprehensible. It's not strange that there are ghost-like undead creatures in thousands of years of ancient castles, it's strange that her attitude is strange!
Ghosts are different from resentful spirits, they don't have much grudge against people, and they don't attack people too actively, but they also try to avoid humans. Because of this undead creature, it is inherently resistant to humans. But the ghost maid looked as if she was completely unaware of the difference between herself and humans!
The guys who broke into the door of their own people are still called guests...... Are these ghosts as crazy as the skeleton alchemist?
No...... Her appearance is not like crazy, but like stupid......
"Got a guest coming? It's really a long way off. We've been lonely here for a long time, and it's rare to have so many guests......" As a calm boy walked through, a middle-aged man slowly walked down the spiral staircase.
The middle-aged man was dressed in antiquity - not much different from today, because of the retro style that was in vogue nowadays - with a top hat on his head and a walking stick in his hand. He has a fairly pleasant appearance, with two mustaches above his lips. No matter how you look at it, it looks like that kind of aristocratic gentleman.
However, of course, his body is also translucent.
"Hello, I am the owner of this castle, Count Dacula. It was a great honor for several people to visit the Humble House. The middle-aged gentleman walked down the spiral staircase, took off his politeness and bowed to the crowd.
Ji Ran and the others were a little overwhelmed, but Erin was the calmest one among them. She gave a fairy salute to the middle-aged gentleman, Count Dacula, and then greeted him in her cold, but still beautiful voice: "May the breath of nature envelop you forever." ”
Earl Dacula listened to Erin's words and looked at Erin in surprise: "It turns out that there is also an elf...... Elves are a well-known noble race, and every elf's pursuit of etiquette surpasses that of us nobles. But...... After so many years, have the elves finally integrated into human society? ”
Hearing his words, everyone suddenly felt that the Count of Dracula did not look like he was in a state of derangement, but rather quite sober. It's just that he doesn't know, he knows if he doesn't know his current form......
"Oh, it's rude not to have you sat down for so long. Please forgive me, after all, after all these years, and I am like this now, my memory is really a little reduced. Have a seat...... But we don't have snacks and tea, after all, those things can't be kept for so long. With a graceful wave of his hand, Count Dracula pointed to the sand next to a table.
Although everyone still has a lot of questions in their hearts, but they are so polite, do they start fighting without saying a word? Moreover, even if you start fighting, you may not be able to beat it......
At least from Ji Ran's appraisal technique, the ghost Count Dacula in front of him, in terms of rank and attributes, is a series of question marks.
The group sat down on the sand, and Count Dacula naturally sat in the master's seat. He held the crutch in both hands and looked at the crowd with a smile.
"I know you have a lot of questions, so let me explain them to you. That's right, I'm dead. What you see now is my soul...... Maybe in the usual sense, it's called ghosts. Count Dacula looked at the crowd and sighed.
"It's been thousands of years, and I've finally seen people coming in from outside again. I thought it would go on until we dissipated naturally. ”
It turned out that this Count Dacula knew that he was dead! He is sensible and knows what is happening! Everyone suddenly felt a lot more relieved, after all, there was someone to communicate with.
If they're all like the skeleton alchemist, that's a real problem. Anyway, now I can listen to this Count Dacula tell a story, right? (To be continued......)
