Chapter 12: The Wraith
Perhaps this should be asked of Bagh...... After all, she suggested that she follow the pumpkin lantern forward, and she should know a little bit about the other party.
Yalei decided not to delve into it for the time being, and had to find the so-called Wraith Earl Albert first, and try his catties to see if he could completely settle the other party:
"Lead the way, take us to the cellar. ”
"You promised not to kill me?" asked the stone beast head, trembling.
"As long as you can help me kill him, I'll swear I won't kill you. The black-haired knight tentatively promised it a way out.
"No way, Lord Albert, no! Albert that fool can't be destroyed, he's already one with the source of the curse...... Unless......" As he spoke, a light of hope suddenly appeared on his face.
"Unless what?" Charlene looked impatient and shook her fingers demonstratively.
"Unless you let someone else be the source of the curse!" replied swiftly the stone beast head.
"Do you have a way?" Arei felt very unreliable when he heard it.
"No ......"
"Then continue to lead the way, I'm not going to kill you, as long as you can show your worth. ”
The black-haired knight didn't lie to the other party, he really wanted to save this stone head for his life, after all, he didn't know anything about this land, and the other party seemed to be a good database.
"Thank you very much for your kindness...... Please take out a white candle and walk to where we just came in. It cautiously prompted, trying to curry favor with the other party, trying to save his life.
Ariyiyan took out a candle from the stone wall of the tomb and walked with Charlene to the place where the door had disappeared.
In the faint candlelight. The scene on the walls flickered. The snow-white walls were quickly blackened. Soon, a black composite door suspended over the wall.
He pushed slightly, and the compound door opened backwards with a "click", revealing the charred black staircase that had appeared earlier.
"You just said that the cellar is down there?" Charlene stepped forward a little timidly and grabbed the corner of Yalei's clothes.
"Yes, you can go all the way down the stairs, or you can jump straight down. The height here is also not very high. "In order to save his life, the stone beast head can now be said to know everything.
"It doesn't seem to be lying. Charlene glanced at the three-dimensional structure again.
"Genevieve can fly, you should fly too, right?" said the black-haired knight, hugging her slender waist with one hand.
"It's only a simple move......," the green-haired girl said with some shyness.
"That's enough, let's go down together!"
Holding the girl's flexible waist, Yalei jumped directly from the corridor of the black hole, since Charlene can move simply, then it doesn't matter if there is a trap, it just smashes and explodes.
As soon as I fell down the stairs, a cold chill hit my face. The thick black fog below continued to spread out in all directions, and the wind whistled in the ears that could only be found when falling from a high altitude. It was only twenty or thirty yards away, but it fell for about two minutes.
Bang!
After two muffled sounds, a thick haze was set off on the ground, and then a gust of wind blew, sweeping away with a thick dust.
Yalei withdrew his palm, and with Charlene, he observed the so-called cellar, which was very large, and the walls on all four sides were stacked in a trapezoidal shape, and on each floor, a circle of white candles was densely arranged.
Perhaps because the air here is too dirty, the white candlelight is gray and burns all year round, but the candle wax is not reduced by half, which matches the scene here, giving people a sense of time chaos.
Directly in front of them was a dark cavern, from which a musty, damp smell emanated.
"Dear Earl, the stupid Albert is inside the cave, and in the face of your power, it is just an ugly wraith that can do nothing. The stone beast head said in a flattering tone.
“......”
Ignoring the nonsense with it, Yalei strode over to the wall, took down another candle, and threw it down the hole, the candle was lit out, and it seemed that there was not much problem with the air quality inside
"Let's go. ”
The black-haired knight smiled at the green-haired girl, and walked into the dark cave first, the light of the candle flame in his hand became more and more dim, as if it was swallowed by darkness, and he couldn't find it five steps away.
Charlene followed behind Yalei, clutching the corner of his coat and nervously scanning around.
After advancing for about half a minute, two swarthy stone doors lay across in front of him, and the black-haired knight clenched his fists and prepared to harden them, only to hear a click, and the two tomb doors fell backwards in unison.
Looking back, the green-haired girl happened to touch the ring with a smile and spit out her fragrant tongue: "This ring is more useful than I thought, it seems to be able to control the entire mansion." ”
"Beautiful lady, you are the most beautiful and wise woman I have ever met, and I swear no less. The stone beast head put on a sincere expression and flattered him vigorously.
"How many women have you seen, and I'll kill you if you dare to tell a lie!" Charlene glanced at the other party coldly.
"About ...... Three ......," it said curtly.
......
The passage ahead is quite narrow, but fortunately this road is not long, and after about two minutes of advancement, you can smell a long-standing smell of decay.
Yare stepped out of the tunnel, holding up the candlelight, and it seemed to be a burial chamber too, empty and rather shabby. In the center of the chamber is a gray-white stone altar carved with large and small spell runes, which are poured directly into the crevices with iron mortar.
In the center of the altar lay a huge sarcophagus, locked by vines, and a blood-stained greatsword pressed on top of it, and even from a distance of dozens of yards, they could still smell a thick smell of blood.
It can be seen that it is a sharp sword that has slaughtered countless people, but I don't know why it is pressed on top of the sarcophagus.
Seeing the doubts of the two, the stone beast head took the opportunity to be courteous and said as if he were knowledgeable:
"Two adults, the most important thing about this seal is the sword! Albert is big, no, it was a stupid man who said that the radiation of that sword made him breathless, and without this sword, he would only need a few years to get out of trouble. ”
"Is he afraid of swords, or is he afraid of blood?" Charlene blinked.
"It's both...... Probably ......" It found itself being questioned again, and for a moment it couldn't say why.
"How do you kill him?" asked the black-haired knight bluntly.
"It's impossible to kill it...... Unless you can find another ghost to replace him as the source of the curse, you can take that sword and unleash Albert's wraith, destroying it to silence him for at least a decade...... Although it is no different from now. ”
"Then give it a try. ”
Yalei walked directly in front of the sarcophagus, grasped Arondaet's scabbard with his right hand, and said to the green-haired girl beside him, "Flick that sword away, and I'll prevent accidents from happening." ”
"Hmm. ”
Hearing this, Charlene immediately raised the index finger of her right hand and pointed at the giant sword above the coffin, and a light blue flame instantly shot into the sword body, and it bounced to the ground with a "bang".
After the giant sword landed, the sarcophagus was still quiet as usual, nothing happened, and the two waited calmly for a quarter of an hour or so, and the room was still a quiet and eerie scene.
"What's going on?" the black-haired knight raised the stone beast's head a little irritably.
"I don't know...... Could it be that it's too weak, or ...... Afraid of your power?" it racked its brains and gave two reasons.
"There's no time to rub it off, let's dismantle it!"
Yalei then swung a chain sword with a flickering cold light, splitting the vines above the coffin in two, and then put his left hand on the gap in the coffin lid and began to exert force.
There was a sudden "click" in the air; With a loud bang, the lid of the sarcophagus coffin was lifted along with the pig iron in the gap. However, what they didn't expect was that at the same time as the coffin was pried open, a black wave of insects poured out of the coffin.
Whew!
Pitch-black flames erupted from the black-haired knight's palm, forming a thick tongue of fire that rolled upwards and burned the insects in an instant.
At this moment, a cold blue light shot out from the bottom of the coffin, hitting Yalei's heart and knocking him back a step.
"Hahaha!"
At the same time, a string of unbridled wild laughter came from inside the sarcophagus, and a huge translucent shadow slowly crept up from the coffin with a faint blue halo swirling.
Fifteen feet tall, the wraith stood upright on the altar of the burial chamber, level with the top of the cellar, and its features and silhouette were very close to those depicted in the painting, only magnified about five times, and there was a faint coldness and resentment.
Upon seeing the stone beast head in the black-haired knight's hand, it immediately let out a furious roar:
"Sebastian, you dare to betray me!"
Knowing that this was the right time to show his loyalty, the stone beast head held back the fear in his heart and shouted in a sharp voice: "Albert Great, stupid man, I will not serve you anymore, my master is the new Lord Earl of Glamorgan...... And Madame!"
"The new Earl of Glamorgan?"
A sinister smile appeared on its translucent face, its body swelled suddenly, its arms slashed a few times in midair, and it spread out its giant dark blue claws full of sharp nails:
"What a sorrow, he has been destined to lie in this coffin in my place forever!"
"What did you do?" said Are, with an unnatural pale look on his face, his left hand covering his chest, and struggling.
"Simple little tricks. ”
The resentful spirit floated triumphantly into the air, its body swelled again, and made a movement of holding its chest and sleeping peacefully, its tone was cold and cruel, revealing a terrible resentment:
"It will continue to erode your body, making you lose your beautiful feelings and only resentment!"
"And then I can turn into a ghost and lie in the coffin instead of you......?"
The black-haired knight's voice regained its calm, let go of the palm covering his chest, and looked at the resentful spirit coldly: "It's a pity that you can't even break my clothes." (To be continued......)
