"Why go to the first floor? Hasn't the first floor been checked? ”

I followed Wolf Fang down the stairs, asking myself questions. In fact, according to my opinion, the second floor is more valuable than the first floor, because although I didn't look closely before, it seems that there are only two stairs and an empty hall on the first floor, and according to my thoughts, there should be no more secret room. Thinking about it this way, the exploration value of the second floor is much greater than that of the first floor.

However, Wolf Fang's thoughts were completely different from mine: "It is precisely because I have checked it that I started from the first floor." ”

At this point, we had reached the first floor, but the wolf fang did not stop, but walked directly towards the gate with me, while continuing to explain, "We only knew the structure of the first floor before, but there is still no place to check, and now we are in the dark with the three people in the light, if my guess is correct, I am afraid that the gate of the castle has been locked." ”

With that, we had reached the door, and sure enough, as the wolf fang had said, the door was locked. A thin chain, I thought it would be easy for the wolf's fangs to open it, but when I looked closely, I realized that there was a lock on it, and the keyhole was very similar to the keyhole of the chain on the mermaid's wrist, maybe it was the same keyhole, and the same lock was needed.

"This lock seems to be the same one that the merfolk need?" I frowned, "In that case, the chain can't be broken, and we can't leave the castle until we find the key." ”

"Well, I'm looking for it anyway," Wolf Fang said casually, leaning over the lock and looking at it, "But this lock is really weird, what kind of lock can match such a keyhole?" ”

I shook my head, I had never seen such a strange lock, thinking about it, I was still worried about the safety of Lin Ya, so I tugged at the wolf's teeth, "Let's go, maybe I thought of it when I saw it." We need to go find them in Cliff soon. ”

Wolffang nodded, motioning for me to walk down the hall, "Let's go, we're pressed for time. There is another reason why I started from the first floor, if it is really as I guessed, the detention and disposal are in two places, and it is not too far away, after all, it is also very troublesome to transfer a corpse. ”

I nodded, knowing that Wolf Fang was right, but I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of the situation in the secret room, and I couldn't help but get a little closer to Wolf Fang. Now there should be three things that we urgently need to do, the first is to find Lin Ya and them, the second is to find the strange key, and the third is to guard against being attacked by the pair of middle-aged men and women and their sons.

Follow Wolf Fang back to the hall, this time Wolf Fang did not go to the entrance of the secret room, but came to the bottom of the stairs on the right. It was also dark under the stairs on the right, there was no light, and Wolf Fang and I had not explored this side before, until Wolf Fang came here with a candlestick, and I found a door hidden in the darkness.

I was about to approach the door, but the wolffang reached out to stop me. I gave him a strange look, only to see that he was staring at the ground.

"Lin Ya, they've been here." "Or rather, dragged from here." ”

I was wondering how the wolf's fangs could see it, and his movements answered my questions. Wolf Fang crouched down and brought the candlestick close to the ground, and by the candlelight, I could see a thin layer of dust on the ground, and there were several long marks on the dust, although it was very faint, but I could still see it on closer inspection.

"Can you see the direction of this trace?" I said and gestured, "I mean, dragged out of that door or dragged into that door." ”

Wolf Fang shook his head and stood up, "The traces are too shallow, although there is dust probably because it is not used often, but the traces are still too shallow, and there is no way to tell which side is light and which side is heavy." ”

There is no way to tell which side is clear and which side is heavy, and naturally there is no way to see the direction of dragging. After hearing the wolf's words, I didn't cling to this question anymore, after all, since I found this door, maybe there will be any clues inside the door.

I looked closer to the door and saw that there was a lock on it, but it was just an ordinary lock, not the one we had seen earlier that locked the mermaid and the gate.

"What about this lock? Can you open it? I beckoned to Wolffang, hoping that he would open the lock.

Wolf Fang came over and looked at me, didn't say anything, just turned to look at me. I was wondering what he was doing when I heard him say to me.

"I can't find a lock-picking tool around here for a while, give me two of your hairs."

Hair? Although I was surprised, I thought that even if I let the wolf fang say it, it would definitely be useful. Therefore, he did not hesitate, raised his hand and plucked a hair on his head, handed it to the wolf fang, "Is one enough?" ”

"Give me another one."

Plucked a hair out again and handed it to Wolf Fang, watching him twist my two hairs into short sections and reach them out of the keyhole.

To be honest, this is the first time I've ever known that hair can be locked, and it's the first time I've ever seen someone try to pick a lock with their hair. Shocked that Wolf Fang had such a lock-picking skill, he also felt a little surprised. Although he was confident that he could do it, he was a little surprised to see that he actually had to use two hairs to try to pick the lock.

The wolf's tooth unlocked quickly, and it took less than a minute before I heard a slight "click", and with the sound, the iron lock on the door opened.

When the door opened, there was a smell of dust that had been closed for a long time, and I frowned and waved it in front of my nose, and the wolf's teeth had already reached out of the door with the candlestick first.

But the trace is at the door, this door should have been opened not long ago, how can it be a long-sealed smell? I thought it could only be that it hadn't been open for long when it was just opened, I frowned and thought, because the door opened and closed quickly, so the air inside the door didn't circulate much, so the smell was still there.

Seeing that the wolf fang had obviously entered the door, he was just standing at the door and did not go deeper. The wolf's figure was already tall, and the door was not very wide and tall, and the wolf's teeth stood in the middle of the door to line the door a little narrow, blocking the scene inside the door so tightly that I could not see it.

"Wolf fangs? What are you doing blocking doorways? Strangely, I reached out and nudged him gently, "Is there anything in there?" ”

Hearing my words, the wolf tooth retreated from the door, "See for yourself." ”

As he spoke, he leaned sideways to move out of the doorway, leaving only the hand holding the candlestick to lift inward, allowing the candlelight to illuminate the scene inside the door.

With the light of the candlestick in the wolf's hand, I saw the scene inside the door clearly, and only then did I understand why the wolf's tooth was just blocked at the door - the door was not so much a room, but just a small space, which seemed to be about one square meter, and the height of the wolf's tooth could be seen that the height of the space was only about one meter eight, this size really didn't look like a room, but made me feel like a lattice, and it could only accommodate one person, and it had to be not too high. If the wolf fang wants to go in, he can only bend down and go in.

In such a small place, there were only the surrounding walls, and nothing else existed, and the environment inside the door was unobstructed by the candlelight, and it didn't seem necessary to look at it.

"This room? What is it used for? So small? I frowned, I couldn't figure out what this room was for, "Look at the next person standing at this size, is there any special use?" ”

"I don't know, I don't see anything special, just look at the ground."

Hearing the wolf's words, I looked on the floor in the room and noticed that there were also shallow drag marks there, connected to our drag marks outside the door.

I estimated in my heart that if it was a fainted person, regardless of height, it should still be able to barely fit into the room, but what is the use of this? Why would middle-aged men – if they dragged someone – do this?

Unable to figure it out, I walked sideways through the door. I saw that the wolf fang frowned slightly, and the expression of wanting to stop me was a little hesitant. I gave him a reassuring look and stood there looking left and right at the walls around him, looking for any clues.

"It seems like it's just a normal little room, and I don't see anything wrong." I looked around and said with a frown. I've looked around and still haven't found anything of note.

Wolf Fang nodded, "Come out if you don't find it, let's go look elsewhere." ”

I promised to come out of the door, but just then, a loud bang came from the darkness of the first floor.

I subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound was coming from, and the wolffang looked over there as well, and at the same time quickly moved his position to block the direction of the sound in front of me. As he moved, the light of the candlestick was blocked in front of him, and the environment inside the door suddenly became much darker. I was about to step out the door and get closer to the wolf's fangs, when I suddenly noticed that something was being revealed on the wall next to the door because of the dimming of the light.

The location was not visible from the door, and the wolf's fang did not see it when he first opened the door, and when he looked at it, the candlelight illuminated the spot again, and the light made the thing hidden again, and it was only now that I could see it because of the light.

There was a faint reflection of light on the wall, as if it was attached to something, and it looked familiar to me, as if I had seen it, but I didn't realize what it was. I subconsciously leaned closer and reached out to touch it, wanting to take a closer look at what it was, but the tingling sensation from my fingertips made me stunned, and then my face changed dramatically.

I remember what that was! That's a symbol of magic!

However, I didn't have time to regret it at this point, and the moment the tingling sensation came, the whole room shook, and before I could react, it soared up.

The sudden shaking caused me to fall unsteadily to the ground, and the position of the door had shrunk slightly as it rose until it was completely blocked by the wall, and the figure of the wolf's fang disappeared from my sight.

We were separated.
