4.14 Successors of the Dragons

Thanks for the monthly pass and the tip of the auxiliary corps-

In addition to the large library at the bottom of the corridor and facing the corridor door, there was also a row of rooms with nameplates on Wu Chen's left.

Needless to say, these are the renovated castle rooms that were used to receive visitors. Except for the TT40 warning when the first door was pushed, everything else is safe.

In the neat guest room, there are not only various daily necessities, but he also found the blooming aconitum grass that is used as a potted plant.

After taking a beautiful bath in the No. 3 room and washing away the dirt stained during the battle, Wu Chen, who was refreshed, finally pushed open the door of the large library.

"Build a comparison model." Unlike Wu Chen, who was dazzled by the massive collection of books, TT40 started working as soon as it came in. And with the assistance of Wu Chen, he found an old scroll of castle drawings and began to compare them with the sketch drawn by Avella.

"Discover the Chamber of Secrets." Labor will be rewarded, and with the help of Wu Chen's brain, TT40 soon discovered a vaulted secret room at the back of this rectangular hall.

The mechanism that opened the secret room was then found by Wu Chen and TT40. A gilded ancient Bible. And it is written in Latin, which Wu Chen is not familiar with. With the sound of old gears, an entire bookcase slowly receded and opened to both sides, revealing a solid stone wall and a secret door.

The secret door needs to be opened with a bronze compass lock inlaid on it, and Wu Chen has not found modern defense methods such as fingerprints and lasers, and there are all kinds of signs here that it seems that the contemporary mistress of the castle, Avella, does not know the existence of this ancient secret room.

Fortunately, there is a TT40. With her help, Wu Chen turned the compass. Align the correct astrological signs. This dusty secret door was opened.

It was a dried corpse sitting on a gilded velvet chair.

From neat wear and finger seals. Let Wu Chen quickly draw up the identity of the deceased: "Mr. Eric." The imprisoned castle man, the titular husband of the undead queen Imelda. ”

"Judging by the degree of attenuation of the remains of C14, the time of death is consistent with the inference." TT40 also agrees with Wu Chen's judgment.

Behind this lifeless remains, there are many treasure chests, large and small. Wu Chen, who was very interested in this, opened them one by one and harvested a large number of bills such as real estate deeds, company shares, and a small amount of jewelry.

Although it looks useless, you can hold 'don't enter the treasure mountain and return empty' (the thief doesn't go empty?). He put it all in his backpack.

When he tries to remove Eric's knuckle seal. A yellowed ribbon is then exposed by the displaced ring. A thin ribbon wrapped around the man's withered fingers and was carefully concealed by the ring. If it weren't for Wu Chen's attempt to remove the seal ring and move the ring, otherwise he would not have been able to discover the man's delicate design.

Wu Chen carefully found the thread and untied the ribbon one by one. Soon, everything that the castle man had experienced was slowly unfolding before his eyes......

After reading the contents of the suicide note, Wu Chen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"According to the contents of the suicide note, master, now you are the owner of the castle." TT40 quipped, "Of course. The premise is that you give Imelda 'liberation' as well. ”

"This suicide note has no legal effect, does it?" Wu Chen smiled and spread out his hands: "How can I prove that the immortal queen Imelda has been liberated?" Can this kind of mystical thing be supported by modern law? ”

"Yes." TT40 really gave the answer: "The Vatican." ”

"Understood." Wu Chen forgot about the titular Western co-master. The Vatican Holy See. However, it is clear that he does not care about the inheritance of the so-called castle.

"Of course, at the end of the day, this is the spiritual world of the ignition, and these things really won't be of any use to you if you don't plan to come back." TT40 added with a smile.

Wu Chen's heart moved: "What if? ”

TT40 said solemnly, "Well, if." ”

Wu Chen immediately smiled and asked, "Did you find something?" ”

There is no need to hide the TT40: "Master, for a strong person like the ignition - Kindlaire, the material and the spiritual are one and the same. Everything in this spiritual castle may be real. In a way that we can't understand. If this assumption is true, then the will is true and valid. Thinking deeper, what will the owner get when he gets the inheritance of the castle? ”

"This is our ultimate puzzle, right?" Wu Chen joked with a smile.

"That's right." The TT40 still did not forget to cheer him up: "Come on, my dear master. I'm looking forward to the moment when the puzzle is uncovered. ”

Closing the secret room, with the help of TT40, Wu Chen quickly found Avella's magic book hidden in the bookshelf - "Avella's Magic Kitchen".

When I opened it casually, there were neatly recorded magic recipes inside, and many materials that Wu Chen had never heard of were supplemented by expressive stick figure illustrations.

What intrigued him the most was this:

Alphabet soup

Elements required: dandelion, elderberry and rose petals

Crush a handful of elderberry extract and preserve. Pick the petals of 1 rose, soak for 1 hour, and prepare into rose water. Grind 1 dandelion into a paste and drop into the elderberry extract, filter out the liquid, add rose water, elderberry and dandelion, heat to 62°C, and stir. Turn off the stove and let it stand for 20 minutes before pouring into a container.

After drinking, you will gain the ability to read unfamiliar words.

"Remember the tapestry we saw earlier?" Wu Chen said with his unique jumping thinking of a technical nerd.

"Of course, I detected dark energy, but I couldn't translate the text on it." The TT40 naturally doesn't forget.

"With this recipe, maybe we can decipher the text on it." Wu Chen closed the magic book and carefully put it into his backpack, and just as he was about to walk out of the library, he was forced to stop by a loud long howl.

"It's hungry." Wu Chen said in a deep voice: "We have to hurry." ”

"What's next?"

"Cathedral." Wu Chen opened the door on guard, made sure that there was no one, and immediately ran towards the target.

The church was an important part of the castle, especially for the nobility of the Middle Ages. It is not difficult to understand that religion will always be an important tool for rulers to maintain their rule. And Avella, a castle inherited from the Middle Ages, clearly owns this building.

The stately cathedral occupies half of the two-storey castle, and its grandeur is evident from the two beautifully carved gilt gates. Wu Chen didn't know if the earth he was on and whether the church had a role such as purifying evil and purifying people's hearts.

But here, apparently, there is.

Aside from the warm glow and faint chant echoing through the quiet hallways, TT40 detected not a single sign of the presence of the dark element.

This is the cleanest part of the entire castle.

Wu Chen is not a believer in Jesus. But it did not prevent him from rising with infinite admiration at the moment he pushed the door open.

The eye catches the eye with a wall of parquet glass windows. Under the eaves of the window is a marble altar with long candlesticks that surround it, a scarlet carpet of gold-sprinkled wool that stretches from the steps of the shrine to the doorway, and heavy lacquered wood prayer tables and chairs lined up neatly along the carpet. Sturdy marble columns support the hall at intervals, and solemn cross flags hang from time to time on the high walls.

It is a church with a long history and exquisite decoration.

Wu Chen also heard from Avella that it seems that praying here is also a mandatory item for tourists. There are even couples who have taken over the entire castle just to hold their wedding here.

"There are energy fluctuations in the shrine." At the prompting of TT40, Wu Chen stepped on the soft carpet and walked to the altar.

The shrine of the altar is adorned with a golden chalice, two gold candlesticks, and a large silver cross.

When TT40 determined that the cross was silver, Wu Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The reason is simple, Avella says it's the only room in the entire castle that has a lot of silver. And silver is crucial for his next adventure.

"Next target: the arsenal." Out of awe, Wu Chen only took the silver cross.

"I suggest returning to the Lord's Kitchen first, giving the spellbook and aconitum grass to Avella, and then taking the skeleton Newman with me." TT40 gives sound advice: "As previously stated, the arsenal is the second most heavily guarded place in the entire castle. ”

"Okay." Perhaps the ghosts wandering in the corridor were infected with the virus and died, so Wu Chen, who returned the same way, did not encounter the slightest resistance. Returning the magic book to Avella, unsurprisingly, she reaped the benefits of the fragrant kiss. After a little intimacy, Wu Chen immediately took the skeleton Newman and went to the castle arsenal.

Guarding the arsenal was a group of monks, perhaps the same infidels that Avella had mentioned. There was no suspense in the battle, and Wu Chen also plunged the dagger into the chest of his kind for the first time. The brief discomfort was quickly overpowered. Wu Chen's heart, which had experienced the baptism of several worlds and the end of the Fire Dragon Empire, was hard enough.

What's more, this is not the shelter world he is familiar with, and the guilt is not strong.

Wu Chen chose a long sword, a shield, and an unbowed arrow, as well as a broken crossbow. He also abandoned the strong defense but extremely heavy full-body armor, and chose only a pair of light leather gloves. After all, the help that this alienated suit gave him was incomparable.

"Full body armor can be given to the skeleton Newman." TT40 prompted, "The additional weight can partially offset the loss of flesh and blood, which is conducive to his swordsmanship." ”

After receiving Wu Chen's order, the skeleton Newman did not rush to put it on, but opened his big mouth and sprayed a faint blue spiritual fire at this set of rippling energy fluctuations.

Seeing the flickering blue charcoal fire of the whole body armor being dismantled by the skeleton Newman Marie and wearing the whole body, TT40 couldn't help but praise: "He used the dark particle stream to assimilate the armor's attributes. ”

After he pulled down his armor and buckled his cloak, a burly steel warrior immediately appeared in front of Wu Chen.

"It feels so much better." Wu Chen nodded with satisfaction, except for the blue flames that flashed from time to time in the T-shaped gap of the mask, there was no longer the abruptness of the white bone warrior.

"What's next?" TT40 asked with a smile.

"Blacksmith." Wu Chen patted his backpack, "We need to forge a few silver crossbow arrows and find a new bowstring for the crossbow." Then go and kill the big man-eating dog. I believe that there must be a clue to the third golden key on his body. ”

"As you wish." (To be continued.) )
