The road to success cannot be smooth sailing, and the road to growth is not necessarily brilliant.

The long-abandoned castle is not dangerous, but it is terrifying.

The dark clouds in the sky obscured the brightness of the moonlight.

Black widows of all sizes, climbing on spider webs, this spider is famous because she is poisonous, and on the day when the male spider falls in love with the female spider, the female spider will eat the male spider for nutrients, hence the name "black widow".

Arthur's perception did not spread, on the one hand, because the people here were unfamiliar, and secondly, he was worried about startling the snake. The unknown will seem terrifying, and it is because of fear that we will focus on the present.

Arthur gently pushed open the iron door, and there was a creaking sound from the door, and there were cobwebs everywhere where they could form webs, which was disgusting to look at and chilling.

In front of the castle is a large garden, the so-called flowers and plants have long since died, and not far from the right there is a well with a crank to sink the bucket to draw water.

Behind the well was a small orchard, and according to custom, many nobles preferred to eat grapes or some apple trees, and the habit of planting was completely changed by themselves.

Looking ahead, there is a simple gazebo for resting, where you can rest in the summer, when the green vines block the sun and do not feel hot, and many people like to read and drink tea here.

In the former point, there is the platform, which can accommodate quite a few people when there are many people, or when a grand ball is held.

The design of this castle is very good, although it does not look big, but there are all the things that can be there.

The entrance to the castle takes about 5 minutes to walk along the main central road, and the gate is tightly closed, about 3 meters high and 2 meters wide, and it is made of huge solid wood, and it takes a long time for the door to be molded and framed.

Arthur gently pushed the door with his hand, but it showed no sign of moving.

Turning around and looking at the entire vestibule, I could vaguely imagine what it was like and how lively it used to be.

Fireweave looked at the spiders around her, and these spiders were slowly surrounding.

Arthur took a deep breath, clenched the demonic sword in his hand, and pushed the door open with his left hand very strongly.

There was a muffled thud, a squeak, and two doors were pushed open in the middle, and the castle of Monte Cristo, which had been silent for many years, was pulled open.

The light shines into it, and it emits a different light.

The dust is flying, and the ancient castle that has not seen the light of day for I don't know how many years has rebuilt the sunshine.

Time seems to stand still, nothing has ever changed.

The neatly arranged tables and chairs, the old but uncorrupted circular staircase, and the curtains on the side of the high second-floor main table have not changed color, but are slightly entangled in dust.

It seems that it has only been a very short time, and it does not seem to be a sign of people for many years.

At the same time as the door was opened, a huge bronze bell was struck to the left of the vestibule.

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Arthur was startled and looked outside at the old brass bell that suddenly began to make noises of its own.

"Master, look at the above. Fire Weave reminded.

Arthur turned around and looked over the lobby of the castle, where there were many skeletons entangled in spider silk, dead for I don't know how many years, but there was nothing unusual except for these.

"It is estimated that the huge spider caught the person back and ate it, and looked at it separately, and shouted immediately if it found the situation. Arthur said.

With that, a man walked up the circular staircase and went upstairs, and Hoori kept going from the hall to the front.

The whole castle is divided into two parts, the outer fort is used to entertain guests and rest places, the back fort is mostly a place to store things and live under the people, and sometimes there are some important things.

Arthur went to the second floor of the outer fort, and Fireweave looked back, because she vaguely sensed that the back fort had a strong dark and gloomy atmosphere, and it was relatively dangerous.

Shan said that Arthur went to the second floor, room by room.

First went to the first room on the left hand corner, which was a study, on which was painted a young handsome but pale-faced male nobleman, with a sword pinned to his waist, his eyes slightly closed, and a beautiful bouquet of roses in his mouth, kneeling on one knee.

Behind it is a beautiful lake, with green trees, streams and grasses, which looks particularly heroic, and it looks like it should be pouring out love to people, but the picture ends abruptly here, and no women appear.

The whole study was not large, but the books were densely packed, and Arthur looked at them carefully, covering all the aspects that could be included, very miscellaneous, and there were no rules to speak of.

There are fairy tales in front and detectives in the back, which shows that the owner is very casual in his requirements for the bookshelf.

After watching it for a while, I went to the second room... The third... While searching for the fifth room, Arthur saw the woman who was a nobleman who wanted to express his love.

The painting shows a beautiful woman in a white palace dress with long malt hair, slightly closed eyes, a smile on the corner of her mouth, leaning against a huge vine tree, her hands folded in front of her, and holding a gray brown book with an unseen name in her hands.

The state is tranquil and tranquil.

The background behind the woman is largely the same as seen in the first room.

The artist is very clever and able to capture the look of the person in the painting, and these two paintings will be the same specifications as the Mona Lisa's smile if they are placed in later generations.

The room was like a place for women to groom and store their clothes, and Arthur walked to the front of the cabinet, opened it and looked at it twice, and there was nothing of note.

Turning and walking out, when the door was closed, I didn't know what kind of thoughts I had in my heart, and glanced at the beautiful girl again.

！！！

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you look up, your brain suddenly buzzes loudly, Arthur knelt on one knee in front of the painting, cold sweat down his neck, his body couldn't move, and his mouth couldn't make any sound.

An evil chill surged up under his feet.

The figure in the painting changes from a beautiful girl to a pale woman's head with bloodshot eyes, and the background changes to a gloomy and dark corner in the depths of the castle, with the woman's eyes nowhere to be seen, leaving only a hollow facing Arthur.

The blood that flowed out flowed down the scroll. Her mouth was wide open, facing Arthur.

Arthur's magic power was completely useless, and his body couldn't move at all.

I heard a rustling sound in my ears, and then Arthur was stabbed in the back by something, and he was instantly unconscious.

......

Arthur, who opened his eyes again, was weak, his face was dark, and he didn't know where it was, and the darkness couldn't see his fingers.

He was half-hung in mid-air, the sound of soft breathing and a familiar smell not far from his side.

"Fire weaving, is that you?"

"Master, are you awake?"

"How did you get caught?" Arthur asked.

"I didn't see it, I went to the back fort, and when I walked into the middle house, I was stunned by a powerful spiritual attack. ”

Arthur sighed, ready to expand his senses, but felt nothing...
