Hao Ren happened to be eating at this end, but he didn't expect that after Anna sat down, she suddenly babbled to herself such a bunch of things, combined with the girl's extremely strange eyes and pale face due to madness, a few words stunned to make her say ghostly and creepy-but Hao Ren let the nerves tempered by the recent events be so thick that they almost died of necrosis at the end, so he just felt inexplicable: "What? ”

"Tanagus...... High Energy Polymeric ...... You can't kill that thing......" Anna's eyes were slightly turbulent, but Igor quickly stopped her crazy words: "Anna, watch the table manners - and don't disturb the guests with your messy memories." ”

"Wait," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand at Igor, "I'm interested in what Anna said - what is the Tanagus she mentioned?" ”

A stiff smile appeared on Igor's face: "It's the whispers of evil spirits, master, don't worry about these crazy things, the evil spirits under the castle have been whispering in my poor daughter's sleep some knowledge from the abyss of evil, which has been mixed with Anna's memories, making it difficult for her to distinguish the line between reality and illusion at times." She'd better not mention these things, or sooner or later, like those unlucky family members in the past, she will be completely overrun by the thoughts of evil spirits. ”

"It's anger...... The evil spirit sued her for these? Hao Ren showed a very interested expression, and at the same time tried to make an expert posture, "I think these things are very useful." Perhaps we can deduce the source of the evil spirit's power from this knowledge. ”

Igor stretched out his hands: "Master, you can try." But I promise you won't get any useful information, my daughter's memory is distorted. And the evil spirit will not allow its secrets to be leaked so simply. ”

Hao Ren turned his head to look at Anna: "What is Tanagus?" And what are the Tana? Is it the name of those evil spirits? ”

Anna brushed her low-hanging messy curls, and there was chaos in her brown eyes: "They seep into this world from the other end of the rift, and the invisible power is beyond your knowledge, you can't kill that thing...... Unless we repay the treasures we swindled three hundred years ago......"

Igor's voice suddenly rose up: "Anna, your memory is messed up again. Eat well, then go back to your room to rest. ”

Without saying a word, Anna put down her knife and fork, and left the room like a geist. Lily watched the girl staggering away, and couldn't help but look at Igor: "You have to be honest with us, we're experts." What does Anna mean when she says about the treasure that was swindled three hundred years ago? ”

Igor sighed: "This is the evil spirit suing her." But I think the evil spirit amplifies the negative information and makes her feel that her family is built on sinful deeds, when in fact all of our properties are legitimate. Ever since my ancestors received their initial fortune from an adventure three hundred years ago, the André family has followed a strict family precept to use their money sparingly, and this is not a fraud. ”

"The adventure of three hundred years ago refers to the witch?" Hao Ren asked casually.

He knew that the portrait of the witch hung in the castle, and that the account of the witch was in the manuscript of the library, and that this mysterious existence might be a subject of awe for the André family, but it was by no means a secret—at least not unmentionable. Otherwise, it won't hang outside.

Igor nodded slowly: "Yes, witch, if it weren't for being in this castle and experiencing the family's qiē firsthand." I also don't believe that there is a witch who has made the Andre family what it is today. My ancestor befriended a witch who helped her and received a gift. That gift consisted of a magical stone and an ancient spell. Stones bring treasures, spells beckon evil spirits: the exchange of all things in the world. ”

Vivien couldn't help but mutter, "This story is so vulgar...... It sounds familiar. ”

Hao Ren laughed dryly. Looking up at Igor, he was ready to continue asking about the witch, but before he could speak. Suddenly a strange sound came from below the crowd: it was a snoring sound like breathing, but it was unusually low and loud, and each sound seemed to knock on people's hearts. It seems that there is a huge cave system beneath the castle, and the wind is resonating in the countless caverns.

Igor's face changed when he heard this voice: "It's an evil spirit!" It's active again! ”

Nangong Sanba pushed the plate in front of him, and easily untied his silver-white crossbow from his waist: "Take us to the underground palace - just halfway through, you can tell my friend a good story about witches and summoning evil spirits." ”

Like all centuries-old castles, this building has a large underground structure, and in order to suppress a dark creature, the underground structure of the castle is unusually large, like a dungeon. Igor led them to a chapel behind the castle, where the entrance to the underground was located.

Several servants, under Igor's command, pushed open the pulpit of the chapel, revealing a sloping staircase beneath the heavy red planks, the entrance wider than expected, and the dim light could be seen below. The sound of strange breathing came from below.

Nangong Sanba looked at the staircase and smiled: "That's when I went down from here that day." ”

Igor was a little braver than he looked, probably having lived in this damn castle for most of his life, he was already familiar with the strange things deep underground, or maybe out of trust in the "experts", he did not let the trembling servants come forward to lead the way, but walked in front with a cold light himself: "I'll take you down." ”

Hao Ren thought at first that he would see outdated fire boxes and candlesticks hanging on both sides of the tunnel, just like in the movies, but after going down, he realized that the wall was inlaid with an electric wall lamp: it turns out that the evil spirit castle can also keep up with the times.

However, it is clear that the owner of the castle has only made very limited alterations to the underground part, except for the wall lamps on both sides and some electric ventilation fans and ventilation pipes, there are traces of antiquity everywhere under the staircase. The rough rock walls, steep stone staircases, and the already mottled and peeling stucco roof make it feel like you're going to hell.

Lily felt that the atmosphere here was dull and decided to say something: "The evil spirit was summoned by your ancestor himself?" ”

Igor's low, weak voice echoed through the rock walls: "...... Greed is a sin. The earliest records are not clear, but it was around the time my ancestor became more greedy after discovering that the 'Witch's Stone' could bring him great wealth, and he thought that since they were gifts from the witch, the stone and the spell should be equally important and effective, and although the witch had warned him not to use the spell, he performed the summoning ritual......"

Descending the stone steps, the road ahead gradually smooths out, culminating in a long underground corridor.

“…… The summoning ritual opened a rift into the abyss, from which a powerful spirit escaped, the evil spirit that had haunted the Andre family for three hundred years. ”

The underground corridor is also inlaid with not very bright wall lamps on both sides, and in the dim light of the wall lamps, the heads of Andrei's ancestors can be seen hanging on the walls on both sides: the family seems to be particularly fond of hanging the images of their own family members on the walls, and it is not known whether it is the legacy of their ancestors or what is going on.

"We are cursed, cursed for disobeying the witch's warnings, the André family cannot leave this cursed fortress for more than seven days, and those who try to escape all die on the eighth day - we have great wealth, but it does not allow us to leave this icy land. The evil spirits whispered all night under the fortress, and I still remember the countless sleepless nights before I was eighteen, and even before that time I was haunted by nightmares. The evil spirit made me see a terrifying image from another world, and told me that the destruction of all beings in this world is the real end......"

At the end of the row of portraits of Andrei's ancestors, the portrait of the witch reappeared, covered with black veil, making it impossible to see her true face.

"Why does the witch have to block her face?" Hao Ren asked casually.

Igor paused for a moment before slowly replying: "This is a modification made by my grandfather's grandfather, and before that witches did not wear veils - until one day, an orthodox heir saw the face of a witch in his sleep, and the next day he went crazy and jumped from the top of the castle, and from that day on all the portraits of witches in the castle were covered with veils." ”

"Because you disobeyed the witch's warning, I'm afraid that she and the evil spirits will come to trouble you," Nangong May looked at the gloomy portraits in the underground palace and said, "The historical truth of the year is really what you said?" ”

"At least that's all I know," Igor pointed to an iron door next to the portrait of the witch, "that thing is behind the door, I'm sorry, I have to leave." ”

Igor's slightly bloated figure disappeared on the ramp, and Hao Ren turned his head to look at the iron gate of the underground palace in front of him.

A cold white mist was slowly gathering on the iron gate.
