Chapter 024: Art Collection
Kicking the broken wooden door, a group of people panicked like lost dogs and crashed out. What appeared before everyone's eyes was a different scene.
The eerie hall, the sound of ticking water, and the aerial roots of plants growing overhead, glowing a faint green glow in the dark, give people a dreamlike feeling, as if they are in a dream.
"Welcome to my art collection, fellow travelers!"
Before everyone could come to their senses, a low, hoarse and seductive voice suddenly sounded, and a man in a black trench coat and a gentleman's round hat slowly walked out of the darkness with elegant steps, and under the lowered brim of the hat was only black stubble, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up with a mysterious smile.
"Who?"
", it's definitely the boss."
Seeing this mysterious man who suddenly appeared, everyone was stunned at first, and then overjoyed, a nervous man who had long been tortured by this strange environment laughed, strode out, and punched straight into the gentleman's head.
He was even thinking about the possible attack of this seemingly harmless fellow, as well as the eighteen-way counterattack he had secretly prepared, however, the mysterious gentleman just stood there silently, neither moving nor defending. Then I saw the adventurer who did it go straight through the body of the gentleman in the trench coat and disappear into thin air.
"Hiss~~"
Everyone gasped, and a big living person disappeared out of thin air in front of them, how not to be shocked. And from the glimpse just now, it can be found that this thing does not seem to be an entity, or has the ability to blur, this method is simply an unsolvable monster for adventurers.
"The pesky bug has gone where it belongs, so allow me to introduce myself." The trench coat man gently lowered the brim of his hat, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and bent down to perform an impeccable European aristocratic etiquette, "In the Duke of Lower Hammons, please allow me to introduce my collection to you." ”
A voice rang out: "Collectibles? In other words, this is a museum. ”
Hammons smiled slightly, "Of course, in a sense, you can understand it that way. And I, the owner of this place, have spent a lot of effort to collect artworks, and I hope you like it. ”
"Then, please come with me, if you can't restrain yourself from doing something stupid, something bad will happen."
After speaking, he did not wait for everyone to answer, turned around and took the lead with elegant steps.
"What to do? Can we do it? ”
"Don't drag Lao Tzu down if you look for death!"
"Let's wait and see what tricks this guy plays."
With a trembling mood...... The crowd followed behind Lord Hammons and wandered through the eerie corridors of the castle......
When they finally reached the end of the corridor, the oppressive atmosphere suddenly made everyone present nervous. Duke Hammons glanced at everyone, and the mockery in his eyes was self-evident. He pushed open the door of a room and said, "Welcome to my collection and invite you to see my first proud collection......
......... "Twisted!"
When they saw the collection that was named, twisted, and so on, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at the same time......
This thing is spiral-shaped, human-tall, and looks like a giant screw or conch, and at first glance, it has nothing to do with humans, but when people look closely, they finally see what it is......"
This is suddenly a human being twisted like a towel......
Duke Hammons still had a mysterious smile under the brim of his hat, and explained in a gentlemanly tone:
"In the middle of the ocean, on the island, there lives a savage and powerful species of sub-human giants, who have a very interesting habit of wringing out their prey like a towel, and processing it in a special process that has not yet been explained, and then storing it as jerky. The Duke looked at the collection obsessively, and muttered to everyone about his origins......
………
"The corpses of creatures that have been treated by this process are not only very hard and dry, but also do not decay even after hundreds of yearsIn order to obtain this collection, I personally went to the island of Popular, and after killing all the savage giants there, I chose from their food pantries to find this flawless collection......" Duke Hammons said with a proud look on his face and a charming smile.
But even so, this body art collection still caused panic among the "guests", and the few remaining characters were already shaking their heads.
Of course, the psychological quality of the adventurer is undoubtedly superior. In the face of this precious "work of art", although there was a small riot, no one made any radical moves, in fact, many people have more or less experienced the torture of the enemy.
Pouting, as if dissatisfied with the reaction, Duke Hammons pushed open the door again, and what appeared in front of everyone was a book that exuded an evil and strange atmosphere, and the paper was delicate.
“…… The highest holy relic that was once a flash in the pan in history...... Legend has it that the highest scripture was written by the 'Son of God' himself, made of paper from the skin of ninety-nine pure virgins, the bones of the most heinous blasphemers, and the blood of the Mother of the Son of God as ink...... Legend has it that whoever opens this book will have the blessing of the Son of God and will be the luckiest person in the world, and he will be able to fulfill any wish.
But when the wish is fulfilled, he will be cursed with the most vicious curse by the soul of ninety-nine maidens and one blasphemous, and at the same time reach the highest achievement of his life, he will die a tragic death in a terrible manner......"
This kind of introduction is really creepy, and Lin Xiao has even started his own brain replenishment process.
The slender blade fell gently, and bright red blood beads appeared on the white and flawless jade body. Their skin fell off in a regular rectangular shape, the blood in their bodies was forcibly withdrawn, and the entire vertebrae were straightened and compressed into a terrifying dipping pen, stained with blood condensed in the air, and began to write frantically on the human skin paper......
In less than a few minutes, a completely new book was released, but unlike their original codex, it was not written with religious scriptures, but with a biography of the original person of the code, detailing the life of the tragic figure before he became a book......
In fact, Lin Xiao even heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva. This kind of powerful prop can be regarded as an A-level magic prop, and it can fulfill all wishes, tsk
Then, everyone saw a "vegetative beautiful girl......
A beautiful girl who is "planted" in a huge flower pot, her feet are completely integrated with the rhizomes of plants, her skin is grass-green, her hair is like a rattan stem, and there are a few green leaves and flowers growing all over her body......
Like the goddess of the jungle standing there, she is poignant and glamorous......
"In the deepest part of the swamp, there is a strange parasitic plant that can parasitize humans or other creatures, and achieve a perfect symbiosis with the creature, and the parasitic person, who does not need to grow old, nor does need to eat and water, can live forever like a plant, and remain beautiful forever, of course, at the cost of losing his freedom...... I carefully selected the best one from seventy-four candidates, and then planted the seeds of the parasitic plant that I had so hard to obtain in her, and I came up with this beautiful work of art before your eyes......"
Before Duke Hammons could finish his words, the plant girl suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful dark green pupils......
She scanned the crowd in front of her at a very slow pace, and when she saw Duke Hammons, the resentment and fear in her eyes were palpable, and when she saw the others, there was a look of hope in her eyes......
Then, at a pitiful pace, she stretched out an arm to the crowd, and her small mouth slowly opened and closed, as if sending them a message for help......
But her feet were always fused with the rhizomes of the plants in the giant pot, and she couldn't leave this place at all, and the distress signals she sent with all her might were naturally only a futile struggle......
Taking in everyone's expressions, Duke Hammons smiled slightly, "It seems that these collections don't arouse everyone's interest, so come with me, there are still works in production waiting for you to visit."
