"Kane, you can't say that, Mr. Filin is here to save my sister. Baidu search, more good free reading. If you teach him a lesson and spread it, won't it mean that we nobles don't know what is good or bad, and we don't distinguish between right and wrong?"

Vane's words are very high-sounding. If ordinary people were to say this, they might be impressed by his words, but Lin Fei couldn't see what he was thinking

Vane glanced at everyone and said, "After tonight, it will be the seventh day, Ephelia has been sealed in the room for several days without eating or drinking, she must be extremely weak, I am afraid she will not last long, I hope you can save Ephelia from the clutches of that evil spirit tonight." ”

Ephelia is the daughter of Count Perio and the sister of Vane. A month earlier, Count Perio had bought the 800-year-old castle from a nobleman and renovated it. When Ephelia learned about this and was very interested in history and folklore, she couldn't wait to come to the castle. But on the day she first entered, Ephelia mysteriously disappeared.

Count Perio mobilized his servants to search for her, and finally found the unconscious Ephelia in one of the castle's underground cellars.

Originally, Count Perio didn't think there was anything wrong, but all kinds of strange things would happen in the castle late that night.

That night, Ephelia looked sluggish and entered the underground cellar, and a servant found her and followed her, but she found that Ephelia had entered the cellar and disappeared. The servants searched all night, and at last found a secret door in the cellar, and a brave servant entered the secret door, and when he came out, he was delirious and muttered evil spirits.

In the morning, Ephelia returned, with a strange smile on her face.

The servants in the castle felt that something was not quite right, but the Earl forbade anyone to mention it, and the servants were a little frightened, but they did not dare to mention it.

But late that night the servants heard a strange laughter, which frightened them so much that they could not sleep, and when they finally fell asleep, they felt the extreme cold, and woke up to find themselves sleeping in the garden.

It was later discovered that Ephelia's room was also sealed, making it impossible for anyone to enter.

It was only then that Count Perio realized the seriousness of the matter, and after consulting the information of the castle, he found that the secret door of the cellar was an underground crypt.

The tomb was built under the castle, which felt a little strange no matter how you thought about it, and combined with the servants who had gone crazy before, everyone speculated that this catacombs might have a curse or evil spirits, so Count Perio had to temporarily seal the secret door, and then asked Lisa to invite some witchers, hoping that they could save Ephelia from the closed room.

When the demon hunters learned what had happened, they all said that it was an evil spirit, so they entered the castle to eliminate the spirits. Unexpectedly, it was a dead death, a wounded injury. The witcher, who was lucky to survive, didn't dare to say anything, and before his injuries were healed, he took the money and fled Kaifeng City.

A day earlier, three people with extraordinary abilities who happened to be traveling in Kaifeng City heard the news and volunteered to find the Earl, and the priest of Kaifeng City Temple also came, and the group followed the Sun Knight to this castle in the blizzard.

It's just that they came during the day, because the road was difficult, and it took them several hours to get to the castle, and it was already dark when they got here.

Priest Red, who was holding the holy tome, smiled and said confidently: "Young Master Vane, don't worry, I, Red, swear in the name of the gods, our temple will definitely rescue Miss Ephelia." ”

The two temple warriors beside him stood up and drew their swords, pointed diagonally at the sky, and said in a sonorous voice, "May the gods bless Miss Epheria." ”

Vane said gratefully, "With Priest Red and the two Templars here, Ephelia is saved"

"Ahem" At this time, the person with extraordinary abilities wearing the fox mask coughed lightly.

Vane came back to his senses and looked at the fox-faced supernatural ability and complimented, "Of course, there are also three noble supernatural abilities. Baidu search, more good free reading. ”

The fox-faced supernatural ability man smiled in a rather old voice: "Young Master Vane, we supernatural abilities will not shout any slogans casually, nor will we make any too absolute promises, but I can promise you that we will definitely do our best to rescue Miss Ephelia." ”

This sentence seems to be a satire of the Reverend Red and the Templar. Priest Red and the two Templars looked a little embarrassed when they heard this.

Seeing that the two teams were about to quarrel, Vane hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Now let's think about how to rescue my sister first." ”

The fox-faced person with extraordinary ability said: "Without further ado, Your Excellency Knight, let's go to Miss Ephelia's room first and find out what kind of power it is sealed, as long as I can find out what kind of power sealed the room, I can be sure to crack it." ”

The best way to rescue Ephelia is to go straight to her room. But everyone understood that the real root was probably the catacomb.

They all got up and left the room together, heading towards Miss Ephelia's room.

The castle was large, with many rooms, and the long, dark corridors were filled with the sound of footsteps.

Kane, the leader, walked with a torch and lit all the candles in the corridor, the light dispelled the darkness, and the rather oppressive feeling gradually disappeared with the arrival of light.

Lin Fei and Lisa walked at the back, seeing that Lisa's face was full of worry, knowing that she was worried about Epheria, but at the same time, Lin Fei also understood that at this time, any comfort might not work, and could only divert her attention, so he asked quietly: "After the incident, did Lord Earl go to ask the seller of this castle?"

If the average person finds that he has bought a haunted house, he will definitely find the person who sold the house for an explanation as soon as possible. Count Perio is not an ordinary person, but he will definitely act like an ordinary person, not to mention that this matter is also related to the safety of his daughter.

Lin Fei believed that Count Perio, as the lord of Kaifeng City, would definitely not let go of a person who dared to deceive him.

Lisa was distracted and replied, "After the young lady's room was sealed off by evil spirits, Lord Earl immediately sought out this woman named Belice Heades. ”

"Did you get something out of the mouth of the woman named Belis?"

Lisa sighed and said, "No, because this woman has disappeared, and there is not the slightest trace of it." ”

"Missing"

Lin Fei frowned and felt that this matter was a little weird, this Kaifeng City is the newly acquired territory of Count Perio, although Count Perio has not completely controlled the army here, but the law enforcement team and government affairs agencies of Kaifeng City must be in control of it for the first time, the owner of this castle should also be a nobleman, and he also has such an ancient castle, this nobleman's net worth must be very rich, so even if he leaves Kaifeng City, he should be able to transport his property away, and there will definitely be traces of these properties when he is transported away. But this woman named Belis disappeared without a trace, could she really give up that huge fortune?

Lisa continued: "The Earl was furious when he learned that this man was missing, so he sent someone to track him down overnight, but the more he tracked down, the more frightening it became."

"What did the Earl find?"

Lisa smiled bitterly and said, "Although she disappeared very cleanly, she is a nobleman of Kaifeng City after all, and in the official household register, this castle has changed thirteen masters over the centuries, and each owner's name is Belis." The Earl also found the portraits of the thirteen Beliss, and found that these women looked exactly the same, and what was even more strange was that they were all heirs of the same family. ”

"It's exactly the same," Lin Fei was taken aback. It makes sense to say that daughters are like mothers, after all, genetic factors are very close. But it doesn't make sense that the women of each generation look exactly the same, and what is even more bizarre is that since this generation of Belice lives in this Kaifeng City, why no one wonders why they all look exactly the same

Lin Fei suddenly felt that this woman named Belis was not simple.

"Well, it's exactly the same. So the Earl realized that the matter might not be so simple, and stopped the investigation, and instead asked me to invite some witchers, but I didn't expect that the witchers who came would die and be injured. Then the three supernatural powers and the priest of the temple came, and the Earl instructed us not to tell us anything about this Bellis, if the people of the temple did not take the initiative to ask. Lisa said.

Lin Fei didn't expect this earl to be so careful, but judging from how careful this earl was, this person should know something. There is only one reason why he didn't dare to say it, and that was fear, and the source of this fear should not be the evil spirit, but this woman named Belis. But he also knew that this matter was related to his daughter's life, so he told Lisa and the others that if the soul-slayer did not take the initiative to ask, he would not say anything.

It seems that this earl, at least he is very fond of his children.

Lin Fei glanced at the priest and the supernatural ability in front of him and said in a low voice: "You should have known in advance that the priest and supernatural ability of the temple were here, why did you agree when I offered to help you?"

Lisa didn't answer Lin Fei's question directly, but said, "I checked the information. This castle was built 800 years ago during the Holy Empire, and the first owner was General Andres, who was a great general who had made great contributions to the Holy Empire, but although he was a great soldier, he was very inappropriate in his private life, and killed his wife in order to marry Princess Laura of the Holy Empire. His daughter, Helen, found out the truth and committed suicide after an unsuccessful assassination, while General Andres also died of a vicious illness. ”

Lisa paused and continued: "This history is recorded in the canonical history, and unlike some folklore, in some legends, Helen found out that after her father killed her mother, she developed a hatred for General Andres, so she sold her soul to the devil, and then committed suicide, cursing General Andres and Princess Laura when she was dying. Later, General Andres was going to marry Princess Laura, and the day before the wedding, General Andres fell from his horse and died accidentally when he was selecting horses in the horse farm, and Princess Laura was seriously ill, her body stenched, and no one dared to approach, and finally died alone in the palace. ”

Speaking of this, Lisa's tone was a little strange: "A general who gallops across the field will fall off his horse and die, and another princess who should have been loved by everyone for the royal family is disliked by everyone because of a vicious illness on her body, which can be seen in irony." But legends are just legends after all, and I didn't think I was going to be true. But now that there is really an evil spirit in this castle, then the legend is probably not groundless, and the legend of this castle has existed for so long, and the temple should know about it, but the temple has not made the slightest action for hundreds of years, so it can be seen that the temple should also have some scruples, so I think even the priest and the supernatural ability of the temple may not be able to get rid of this evil spirit, so Mr. Film, when you offered to help me, I agreed. ”

Lin Fei was a little silent, what Lisa said was indeed very reasonable, the god of the entire Pablos Kingdom is the goddess of the earth, Herard, the belief of the goddess of the earth has been rooted in this land as early as the Holy Empire, with a history of thousands of years, and Kaifeng City, where the temple of the goddess of the earth is located, is only thirty miles away from this castle, it is impossible not to know the legend of this castle, but for hundreds of years, it has been stubbornly regarded as if this castle does not exist, what does this mean

After thinking about it, Lin Fei only came to two conclusions, the first evil spirit did not exist at all, so the temple would be ignored, but this point seemed to be no longer true. The second is that evil spirits are beyond the power of the temple. Lin Fei didn't know how powerful the temple was, so it was not easy to guess more deeply.

Just as Lin Fei was pondering, Vane in front of him stopped, and everyone stopped when they saw Vane stop.

The hallway was bright, but the candlelight on the wall was blown on and off by the breeze, making Vane's face look overshadowed.

Vane said with a solemn expression, "Walking around the corner ahead, at the end of the long corridor is my sister Ephelia's bedroom. The servants were afraid to come forward, so there were no lights in the corridors. Be careful, everybody. ”

Lin Fei's eyes looked at the corner, and there was a bright oil painting hanging on the wall of the corner, the oil painting showed a young girl wearing a garland and a white dress, with blue eyes, pure as jewels, and a smile like a flower, sitting in the flower garden picking white roses, very beautiful.

Lin Fei looked at this lifelike portrait and couldn't help but sigh at the artist's exquisite painting skills, but his eyes did not stop at the figures, but looked at the line of mainland common characters below.

"To Helen, the girl I love the most, your beauty shines on me like the sun"

"The most beloved girl" Lin Fei frowned, this kind of explicit praise made him a little unacceptable, but he also knew that this was a cultural difference, through this line of text, Lin Fei knew that the girl in this painting should be the girl who committed suicide eight hundred years ago. And this painting is supposed to have been painted by Helen's admirers.

"Love" The corners of Lin Fei's mouth unconsciously outlined a smile, and a purple figure flashed in his mind.

"Hmm" Lin Fei's body paused slightly, feeling that he seemed to have forgotten something very important, so he lowered his head and thought hard.

It's like an inspiration you've just grasped, but it's gone in an instant, and you can't regain that inspiration, and it's very depressing.

After thinking hard and not coming up with an answer, Lin Fei gave up and continued to look at this portrait, a beautiful aristocratic girl like Helen on the mainland is very attractive to some talented young people, Lin Fei was not surprised, he looked at the signature Mei Wen, and the surname behind was erased by the blood-red fork.

But then Lin Fei noticed something wrong and looked at the girl on the painting again.

If the girl in this painting is really the Helen who committed suicide, then this painting should have a history of 800 years, how can it be so bright as new

The dark shadow came from the corridor, and the light and darkness were also intertwined on this oil painting, making the girl's face on the painting gradually become pale, and the originally bright oil painting began to fade and become mottled, the girl's smiling face in the oil painting turned into a cruel smile, and the eyes looked directly at Lin Fei, revealing the light of Sen Ran, vivid, as if it would jump out of the painting in the next moment, and a fragrance of roses spread.

"Mr. Film"

A loud shout woke Lin Fei up, Lin Fei was shocked, and looked at the temple warrior Clyde and the others who were standing beside him and shouting his name, and found that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, and their eyes were full of weirdness.

"What's wrong," Lin Fei asked with a normal expression.

Lisa said suspiciously: "Mr. Film, why did you suddenly stare at that broken oil painting and not move, is there anything unusual about this oil painting?"

Lin Fei looked at the oil painting and found that the oil painting was mottled and the color was dull, and a lot of the paint had fallen off, only some of the light blue pigments were still very fresh, but the figure on it could no longer see the appearance clearly, obviously it was too old and completely faded, as for the line of words, it was clearly visible, and there was the fragrance of roses that had not faded.

"I just thought about things a little bit out of mind," Lin Fei explained.

But everyone didn't believe Lin Fei's explanation, because Lin Fei's performance just now was as if he was fascinated, no matter how Lisa shouted at him, he didn't react, and in the end it was the voice of the Templar Clyde that woke him up. It's just that Lin Fei didn't show any abnormal look on his face, and some people didn't want to ask anything.

"I thought there was something wrong with this painting, the paintings in the corridor had long since faded, and the Earl was going to take them down, but Miss Ephelia wouldn't let me, so she kept it here, and now it seems to be a bit leaky." Lisa said and handed the thing in her hand to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei saw that it was a torch, and knew it in his heart. The end of the corridor in front of it is Ephelia's room, the corridor is dark, the original candles have long been burned out, and because of the evil spirits, no servant dares to change the candles, so there are no new candles in the corridor ahead, so Vane prepared torches in advance.

The crowd lit torches and headed for the hallway.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
