Chapter 54: The Castle

Lynch didn't go back immediately, but went to the library of Sunset City to read many historical books, and then inquired into the poor areas around the castle to understand the origin of the castle. The original owner of the castle was called Count de Noor, who was tired of the political struggles of the empire decades ago, retained the title, and lived a carefree life with his family in this castle, but one day the earl went crazy and slaughtered his family and servants with his own hands, and then committed suicide. At that time, it was rumored in the city that the earl had been cursed.

Later, strange things often happened in the castle, and the Wizards' Association came to investigate, but found nothing, and the kingdom had to lock it down. Now that so many years have passed, the castle is in ruins, and Lynch has heard from those civilians that there will be many strange things when the earl's family just died, and it has been quiet all these years

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the autumn wind was bleak, and Lynch, with one foot and half squatting on one of the surrounding eaves, glanced at the ancient castle. The castle was illuminated by the moonlight, revealing an eerie atmosphere, the iron gate was locked, the courtyard was obviously deserted for a long time, the withered plane trees, the withered yellow leaves all over the ground, the breeze blowing, rustling, like a monster in the night, the castle was guarded by guards with torches.

Lynch didn't think much about it, his spiritual power directly triggered the witchcraft model of the wing-hunting transformation, and then the wings of the corpse eagle stretched out from behind, slightly inciting, Lynch jumped and rose into the air. Feeling the huge consumption of spiritual power, and for fear of being discovered by the guards, Lynch cautiously flew to the castle from the air.

The yard was still very large, and there were many plane trees, but they were all withered at this time, and Lynch successfully bypassed the sight of the guards on the ground, and landed safely in the middle of the yard.

As soon as he landed, Lynch sensed that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a strange magical energy enveloping it, and he couldn't tell what it was.

The huge wooden door of the castle was blocked, and Lynch saw the broken floor-to-ceiling window on one side, and turned into the first floor of the castle, Lynch was already holding a staff at this time, holding a spirit compass in his left hand, and looked at the first floor of the castle vigilantly. The first floor was dark, but Lynch was an exception, he was the living dead and could see everything clearly.

The surroundings are very dilapidated, where Lynch climbed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows is a wide corridor, the style of the hall in the castle is mainly red, but no one has been here for a long time, the dust is all over the floor, the corners of the walls are full of cobwebs, the furniture is scattered all over the place, and the air is full of a quaint atmosphere.

"Ahem......" choked on the dust here, and Lynch coughed lightly.

The planks on the ground were also old, and Lynch squeaked when he stepped on them. Gently pushing away the wooden chair that had fallen in front of him, Lynch found an oil painting on the ground.

It is a portrait of a person. Not a portrait, to be exact, because this painting is abstract and shows a middle-aged man sitting upright on an ancient chair with his hands crossed on his knees. He has blonde hair, and the weird thing is that his face is much elongated by the painting, and his facial features are also very distorted, especially those eyes, which are very expressive, as if staring at you and looking like ......

Lynch was a little stunned by the middle-aged man in the painting, and threw the oil painting aside.

Continue to search on the first floor, the environment is similar, but it is very gloomy, which makes Lynch feel very strange, and always feels like someone is staring at him in the dark, on the first floor of the castle, Lynch also found a lot of strange oil paintings, these oil paintings have a characteristic, that is, they are very abstract!

The man, woman, and child in the painting. The facial features are distorted into an extremely terrifying appearance, and the background of the painting reveals a thick dark wind.

"Strange, why isn't the compass in your hand responding?" Lynch said to himself, frowning. Could it be that I am in the wrong place? So what is going on with those oil paintings, it is obviously very abnormal.

"Monica, do you sense the scent of an alien creature here?" Lynch asked.

"I didn't ...... Lynch!

Monica was just halfway through her words when she suddenly noticed the aura of a strange creature appearing in the corridor where she had just entered, and Lynch saw that the compass pointer in his hand turned and pointed to the corridor, and hurriedly walked over, pushing open the dilapidated door and stepping into the corridor.

Hiss!

At the end of the dark, eerie hallway, there was a roar. Lynch licked his somewhat dry lips, clenched his staff and Goddess Tears, and walked forward in small steps.

Halfway down the hallway, the wooden door at the end creaked along, and Lynch stopped, staring at the wooden door at the end, ready to defend against the attack, nervous.

Bang!

With a sudden voice, Lynch subconsciously took a step back. A naked female corpse had fallen from behind the door, and Lynch could see her clearly, her eyes wide, her face covered in blood, her head scattered, and the scarlet blood gushing from the knife wounds on her body.

Giggles!

Then, there was a tingling sound, and the woman on the ground twitched, her limbs twisted downward, her face up, and she rose like a spider.

"Giggle..."

She quickly crawled towards Lynch, the scene was extremely terrifying, if it was a wizard apprentice who had little experience, I was afraid that he would have been paralyzed by this grotesque scene, Lynch did not panic at all, and directly waved his staff, and a shadow ball the size of a head struck quickly. The strange creature was so nimble that it climbed onto the wall to avoid the orb of shadows, and then disappeared, only to hear the sound of the sky breaking in front of it!

Lynch raised his eyebrows, took out two bottles of Silver Moon Dust from the package and threw them over, the silver dust exploded in the air, only a roar of pain was heard, and the body of the alien creature emerged, and the Silver Moon Dust still had a certain amount of damage to the alien creature.

Lynch took the opportunity to cast the shadow hand, and suddenly a pair of black hands in the depths of a pentagram circle on the ground grabbed the strange spirit creature deadly. With a smile on his face, Lynch patted the dust off his body and walked over. This strange creature is too inferior, even worse than Monica at the beginning, and Lynch is now a fourth-class apprentice, so he easily subdued her. But this spirit was clearly not the one that struck him yesterday.

The creature's body was still writhing, and its bones made an uncomfortable gurgling sound.

"Why... He... Dead ......" the alien woman's mouth was intermittent, not knowing what she was saying.

Lynch grabbed the alien woman's neck with some impatience, and immediately pressed her to the ground, pumping her two big mouths.

"Can you make that clear?"

"Somara, Somara......" The Alien Woman twitched, repeating a man's name over and over again.
