Chapter 477: A Hidden Secret
"Is there any danger in there?" asked one of the transcendents that Su had found, looking at the gloomy and dilapidated buildings around him, and couldn't help but frown.
The three extraordinary collaborators Su found were mainly to make up for the lack of her actual combat strength, so that when Leo had any abnormalities, she would not have a gap in combat power, so the people she found were all relatively strong in the industry, and they all had extraordinary abilities with strong destructive power and lethality.
But while these people have strong combat effectiveness, they also inevitably have some other ability defects, such as perception.
In the forest outside, even the werewolves who were much weaker than the three of them could sense that something was wrong with the forest around them, but the three of them didn't feel anything at all, and now they couldn't really feel any danger in those gloomy buildings in the castle.
"The resentment of the slaughter of a people will not dissipate even after so many years. Su can also feel the various negative forces hidden in the castle building, but she can't be sure of the source of these negative forces, and can only blame it on the disaster left over from the massacre, so she also reminded very seriously, "You'd better not go near those houses, those rooms are ...... inside"
"Him!" she was interrupted by a transcendent as Sue spoke, and gestured in the direction of the castle's main hall.
Sue turned her head to see Leo walking towards the main hall of the castle, which made her frown and was about to step forward to stop her.
"Don't go over, if you go, you will only become a burden to him, and he will be fine. Mira stopped Sue and then turned to Willis and asked, "When you left here, was it already like this?"
"It's not. Willis shook his head and said, "It wasn't so serious at the time, it would only have a little problem at night, and I wouldn't feel so ...... during the day."
Willis didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings for a while, and scratched his head a little anxiously.
"Malicious. Mira spoke a word for him.
"Yes, it's malicious. Willis nodded immediately, then looked around with some concern, and said, "It feels like the whole castle is alive, and it is full of hatred for any intruder." β
Hearing Willis's statement, Mira was silent for a moment and said, "When will the entrance to Death Valley appear?"
Willis quickly replied, "As long as it is night, when the fog appears, I will be able to open the entrance with my blood. β
Mira was silent for a moment, and said: "After opening the entrance, you don't go in, stay here at night, I still need to make some protective measures for you, the bonfire alone may not be able to stop the malice inside this castle." β
With that, she walked to the makeshift camp that was being built, and walked around the campfire, burying a bone-like thing in the ground every distance she walked, and muttering words as if she were praying.
Seeing Mira's movements, Su did not catch up with Leo again, but led three collaborators to assist the Wolf Gang in building a temporary camp as soon as possible and collecting enough firewood for the night.
On the other side, Leo had stepped out of the group and stepped into the main hall of the castle.
This is the place where the massacre began, when the lord's family was gathered here to be slaughtered, this place should have been cleaned up, but later the officials of Joshburg in order to attract tourists, and according to the original scene, this place was rearranged, although some locations because the record is not detailed, some errors, but the general scene is still restored, and even specially painted in the hall with red paint, to show the tragedy of the massacre at that time.
When Leo entered the hall, he didn't look at the artificially arranged scenes, but looked up at the roof.
In fact, compared to Sue and Mira, who only vaguely felt the malicious power in the castle, Leo's spiritual vision was more intuitive and clearer, because Leo's spiritual vision ability not only contained the power of the True Eye, but also exerted the power of the webweaver, and the webweaver's greatest ability was to capture the soul, so the souls trapped in the castle were all very clearly seen by him at this moment, and even the appearance of these souls when they died was completely displayed.
When he entered the castle and felt that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere, Leo turned on his vision and saw the real appearance of this castle, on the surface, the buildings of the castle were built up of stones, but in Leo's vision, these stones were skulls, and the victims of the massacre were all standing in the house formed by the skulls, waiting for the living in the castle square with malice.
This malice is not malice formed by subjective thoughts, but the instinctive hatred of the dead for the living, that is to say, the evil spirits in these castles have no real thoughts and ideas.
So many souls have been trapped in the castle for so many years, and there is no web weaver to come down to take these souls, and even these souls cannot leave those buildings, which shows that there is something hidden in this castle that no one else knows.
So he tried to use his psionic ability to find the source of the power of the entire castle, and soon found the target, which was the hall of the castle.
And when he entered the castle hall, the wandering spirits in the hall smelled the unique aura of the living on his body, and instantly gathered over to extract the vitality from his body.
If it is an ordinary person, in the face of the invasion of so many geismans, he will definitely feel the abnormally cold around him, and even after staying for a long time, he will feel weak, dizzy, etc., and may eventually die.
But Leo is different, not only is the spiritual energy in his body enough to block these geyrs, but the Netweaver Mark can even produce a powerful suppression of these geistes, so that those wandering spirits who can only act according to their instincts feel the fear that ordinary people have, and they are frightened and retreat frantically as soon as they get closer, but after a while, they will return to their original state, lean back again, and be frightened back by the Netweaver Mark again, and repeat over and over again.
Leo didn't care about these spirits that could be easily destroyed, as soon as he entered the hall, his eyes fell on the roof at the top of the hall, although all these years had passed, the dome of the castle hall was still well preserved, and even the pattern on the dome was still very clear, just like the newly painted one.
In a swamp with extreme humidity, a mural can be kept for two years without any repairs, and it is good that it will not fade or become moldy for ten years.
Therefore, the officials and architects who were in charge of repairing the castle and preparing for the follow-up tour felt incredible after seeing this new mural, and it also attracted the attention of the outside world, and even many newspapers reported on this matter, even if those newspapers were small newspapers that were not in the stream, but this also increased the popularity of Joshburg in disguise.
When Leo was in the apartment, he read a lot of newspapers in the Kingdom of England in the past, accumulated the information in the brain database, and naturally saw some reports about Old Joseshburg, at first he just thought that this was Joshburg County wanted to get more tourists, and made some promotions. After all, after this report, there must be many people who want to go to Joshburg to see the mysterious oil painting, which will make tourists come more.
But after seeing the murals at the top, Leo knew that his previous judgment was wrong, these murals were not simple murals, and they contained a very complex Turing root.
This Turing root is composed of the form of a twig pattern, because of the ingenuity of the designer, the pattern is perfectly integrated into the other groups of the picture, and through the cover of the paint, the entire surface of the picture can not see any abnormality at all.
I have to say that if Leo didn't have a psychic vision to be able to directly see the flow of various forces around him, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find the Turing root hidden in the picture and under the picture without destroying this top mural.
It was almost as complex as the three-dimensional root he had seen on the outskirts of Miria, and it was difficult for him to find useful content in this Turing root, and even because of the complicated winding method, he couldn't even memorize it.
Obviously, the fresco on the top should have existed at the beginning of the construction of the castle, and the lord of Count Josh should have known this secret at that time, so it seems that Count Josh will build the castle here, which has other meanings, and the massacre at Fort Josh may not be as simple as it seems.
"It's probably no accident that the entrance to Death Valley will appear here. Leo looked at the Turing root at the top and muttered to himself, "Why did the Tower Wizard do this, just to place an Emerald Dream Shard?"
There is no doubt that in Leo's opinion, only the wizard of the Tower can depict such a complex Turing root, and the wizard of the Tower would choose to arrange such a Turing root, and even let Count Drake, the only remaining wizard, sit here, obviously all this is definitely not a whim, here, or the valley of death that leads here, must hide a secret that the wizard of the Tower will try to hide.
"Things are getting interesting now. Leo did not worry about the danger he would encounter, but smiled excitedly, he felt that life had been a little too dull during his time in the port of Sète, and that he was now happy to meet an interesting event.
Leo looked up at the Turing roots on it again, trying to memorize them, but no matter how much he memorized, he always felt that there was something wrong with the content of the memory, which also made him sure that the wizard of the Tower who had arranged it here might have done something with it, and unless he found the right way to interpret it, he would only remember a wrong pattern.
After determining that he could not remember the Turing root at all, Leo did not continue to force it, withdrew his gaze, and turned to leave the hall. But suddenly he stopped again, turned his head to look at the geyers around him, and said, "Your continued existence will only make you feel miserable, can I help you get rid of it?"
After saying that, he saw him take out a soul bonfire trap from the storage space, use his psionic energy to activate it, and throw it on the ground in front of him.
After Leo's improvement, the effectiveness of the soul bonfire trap to attract souls has become stronger, and the ability of runes to transform souls has also been enhanced several times, when Leo excites the soul bonfire rune, the surrounding spirits have forgotten Leo, the living person they hate, and they all rushed towards the trap like crazy, and were burned into ashes by the runes, and the essence of the soul was condensed into soul crystals in the trap.
Although these geyers were not supposed to have any thoughts, Leo could vaguely see that they were all smiling with relief as they turned to ashes, and they were saluting him with gratitude.
There are a lot of geists in the hall, but they can't withstand the continuous transformation of the soul bonfire trap, and soon all the geyers are cleared, even if the surrounding air is still cold, but there is no longer that kind of malice.
Pick up the soul campfire trap again, dispel the spiritual energy on it, check the loss, retract it to the storage space, and then pick up the soul crystalline stones on the ground and put them away, then turn around and walk out of the hall.
"Did something happen?" asked Sue and Mira, who had just sensed the unusual movement in the hall, as Leo walked out of the hall to the plaza in front of the castle.
"Nothing, just a few minor troubles solved. Leo responded flatly, thought for a moment, and then told what had just happened and what he had discovered, the reason why he would say it was because he had too little information on hand to find more information related to Old Joseshburg, and if he said it now, he might be able to know more useful information from other people around him.
However, after listening to Leo's words, the reactions of the people around them were different, those wolf gang members and the three transcendents had not seen ghosts, and they couldn't feel the abnormal movement in the hall just now, so after hearing Leo's words, although they thought it might be true, they didn't think so in their hearts, and just regarded Leo's words as a talking story.
Compared to these people, Sue, Mira and Willis's expressions have changed, and it is not difficult to see that the changes in Sue and Mira's expressions should be because Leo's ability is somewhat beyond their expectations, because even they have never heard of any witchcraft that can be used specifically to solve geism, and it seems that abilities such as souls are the exclusive abilities of gods.
The only thing that caught Leo's attention was Willis's reaction, his face becoming a little unspeakably strange, as if he was a little surprised, a little relieved as if he had figured something out, but more worried and worried.
"Mr. Willis, do you remember something?" asked Leo directly.
"I ...... I want to confirm one thing. Willis hesitated, then walked briskly to the castle hall, and stood at the entrance, looking up at the frescoes overhead, the details of which he could see with his eyes, even in the dark.
After seeing the whole pattern, Willis did not show any relief on his face, but was even more dazed, and after walking back, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked Leo, "Mr. Leo, do you really see ...... in the pattern on it?" Is there a root word for any word?"
