"Ah——!h

**

A scream broke the silence of dawn, piercing the castle windows and startling the neighing of the horses in the nearby stables.

The butler in his pajamas pushed open the door of his bedroom on the second floor and looked in the direction of the sound that seemed to be close at hand—"Shouting here early in the morning, Andy, what are you doing!?"

The servant named Andy did not respond, his mouth was open as if he was frightened, his eyes still wide as he turned to look at the butler, and his hand trembling pointed to the front of him, where the cleaning tools were stored.

The butler saw his anomaly and came to his side and followed the direction of his finger.

"Draco.....?

The figure curled up motionless in the narrow space was in a strange posture at this time, with a pair of arms supporting its body, kneeling in the storage point, with its head down, as if attracted by the floor, as if it was doing something strange.

The butler was a little angry at first when he saw this, but then he noticed something unusual.

"The whole body is swollen and congested, and the blood vessels are black, what is the situation??"

A voice full of doubts sounded beside him, echoing his observation, and the butler turned his head to see that it was a mage guest from the castle.

"Good morning, Mr. Simon. The butler greeted politely.

Nodding in response, Simon crouched down and began to examine the servant who had apparently been dead for a long time in the cramped space.

However, when his hand touched the corpse, the corpse suddenly changed!

The whole body festered rapidly, and then the subcutaneous fat and muscles were exposed, and then the muscles, internal organs, and bones melted one after another, and the melting looked terrifying, just like a wax man made of paraffin, which quickly dissolved in the face of high temperature, but in just a few breaths, it turned into a puddle of black-green liquid.

A foul stench followed, and in an instant it filled the corridor, and the servants who were gradually gathering around it all hid their noses and eyes.

However, under this smell that everyone avoided, Simon instead lowered his head and shrugged his nose at the thick black and green slime, looking thoughtful.

"The smell of fish is accompanied by the smell of silt at the bottom of the water.... Ichthyosa?"

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and ordered, "Go and inform your master, I have something to say to him." ”

"I've already gone to call the young master. The butler said calmly. There are dead people in the castle, how can such a thing not be reported to the owner here.

Simon nodded, then got up, pointed to the disgusting liquid and said, "Clean it up, pour it into the sea, don't touch them." ”

"Don't you have to let Young Master Allen take a look?"

"No, I don't. Simon said, "I already know what this is all about." ”

**

"You mean there are evil spirits in this castle?" the sleepy-eyed Alan was woken up and then taken into the study by Simon to discuss things, and then, after hearing what Mr. Mage said, he thought he had misheard, so he repeated it.

"There are evil spirits in this castle?"

Nodding, Simon replied, "Grumman is an evil spirit, but I don't know if it's a ghost or a ghost." ”

"Does it make any difference?" Because the stars had rarely heard of ghosts, Alan was unaware of the distinction here.

"The soul body of the ghost species tends to be transparent, likes to come out at midnight, does not actively attack people, and has a certain intelligence; the normal state of the ghost spirit is no different from that of the mortal body of the flesh, but they can also turn into a virtual body, and the time of activity is not limited to a certain time, as long as it is at night, they have a chance to appear, compared with ghosts, they are full of aggression desire for living beings, and often put this desire into action. ”

Speaking of professional things, Simon seems to be of a nature, and his words seem to be gushing.

"This ghost in the castle belongs to the Grumman system, generally speaking, it can also be said to be a water ghost, which is transformed from a drowned person; there is no need to wonder about this inexplicable name, historical records record that the world's first drowned transformed spirit was called Grumman before his death, so we usually call this series of spirits Grumman Spirit, their attack methods are actually not much different from other series of spirits, but the attack will be accompanied by water vapor, and the creatures killed by them will also become a puddle of stinky water, but this stinky water is not simple, if there are people.....”

Raphael whispered to the side: "To put it simply, it is a water type evil spirit, and its attack methods are slimy, and after being killed by them, it will turn into a pool of highly poisonous stinky water. ”

Alan nodded knowingly, but did not interrupt Simon's explanation, but listened quietly, waiting for Simon to finish speaking.

"If you really accidentally touch the poisonous water, don't panic, if you happen to have fish scale grass, crown water incense, giant cattail leaves, and purple rosemary seeds next to you, then just mash them in turn, and then apply them to the place where the skin touches, and the poison can also be removed. ”

"What if not?" Alan asked.

"Then wait for death. Simon sneered: "This poison is not a simple poison of animals and plants, but a strange poison created by the entanglement of life and death, unless you have the unique spells of both elves and trolls, you will not live for an hour." ”

"So scary?" Alan was startled, and then touched his chin thoughtfully. "If you put this poison on your weapon, won't you see who kills whom?"

"The same cannot be said. ”

Raphael said on the side: "At least the Knight of the Apocalypse is immune to this toxin. ”

"And it won't last long, about three days, this poisonous water will completely evaporate, leaving no traces. Simon added.

"That's a pity," Alan smacked his lips.

Seeing his regretful look, Raphael couldn't help but roll his eyes: "As a knight's descendant, your idea is simply too unacceptable, and you actually want to use poison?"

"Why can't you use it?" Alan said: "It's strange that you think this way, well, there is no law prohibiting the use of poison in any country in the world, why can't I use it?"

"But you're a knight...."

"Hell knight, I'm a mage now. ”

"You're still a lord, don't all lords have to be above board?"

"It's a joke, you've probably heard of Duke Cadrell of the West, I guess he's poisoned people like you. ”

"So that's why he was killed by his own nephew?" Raphael fought back, not to be outdone.

“....”

The two of them sneered at each other, and their expressions didn't look stressed. Raphael is really not stressed, because the appearance of evil spirits in the castle actually has nothing to do with him, as an existence that has been promoted to become an archmage, evil spirits are creatures that can't get close to him at all.

And Alan is not too worried, because he has entrusted Simon to deal with this inexplicable evil spirit, and to Simon, this evil spirit seems to have nothing to fear.

"But the evil spirit is strange, and although I can deal with it, I may not be able to catch it for a while, so you had better tell your servants not to leave their rooms at night, and to carry a few silver coins with them. ”

Simon commanded.

"Okay. Alan nodded, and was about to say something else, but the butler came to his side at this time and whispered, "Young master, Mr. Bauer has woken up." ”

"Are you finally awake?" Hearing this, Alan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The goblin seemed to be really tired, and now that it was past breakfast, he could only wake up, but fortunately he had had breakfast with the two mages because of the evil spirit, otherwise his stomach would have been rumbling with hunger if he had waited for him.

You know, the stronger your physique, the more you can't stand hunger.

So he said goodbye to the two mages and walked out of the study.

As he passed by the second floor, Alan subconsciously glanced at the place where the servant named Draco died, and suddenly thought to himself, what was the servant doing in the cramped storage area?

Then he remembered that he had seemed to have passed by the place where the servant had died last night...
