......

Green's pupils contracted slightly, and his eyes sharpened.

The room he chose was not far from the stairs, and he clearly didn't hear anyone coming upstairs, and the pair of men were ordinary people, and it was impossible to hide his hearing.

But they couldn't have slept in the cold hall knowing that there was a room upstairs and that the fire had been turned off.

Could it be that he was so engrossed in absorbing attribute points just now that he ignored the sounds outside?

Several guesses flashed in his heart, all of which were pressed down by Green one by one.

No matter what, Green still smelled a different atmosphere, and his heart began to be vigilant.

It was a mistake not to inspect the castle in advance just now, perhaps because I was careless when I had just completed the task.

In any case, it is better to find Zyra and a few of them first, and then let everyone rest separately in the wilderness, and forget to arrange for people to keep vigil, which cannot but be said to be a dereliction of duty on the part of Green.

It's strange that so many common-sense mistakes have been made, and no one has raised an opinion.

To avoid walking too fast and extinguishing the candle, Green slowed down and walked slowly down the hallway. Constant calls for Zyra and Werther by name.

There are a lot of debris on the floor of the corridor, and some things that are too late to take away are thrown on the ground, and it seems that they are in a hurry.

I don't know who built the castle in such a desolate place and left in such a hurry.

Something unknown may have happened to this castle.

Crunch ——。

The abrupt sound of the door opening sounded, and the sound of the deadbolt grinding was particularly harsh in the quiet environment.

......

Green lifted half of his foot and slowly fell, and the candle in his hand turned around a little.

I saw a door behind me that was half-hidden for some reason. The faint yellow light of the candle in his hand shone through the crack in the door, and only some blurred lines and shadows could be seen.

The room had just passed by, and with Green's hearing, he could be sure that there was no one inside.

Quietly staring at the half-open door, it seemed to be issuing a silent invitation to Green.

With a slow step, Green took a few steps back to the door. The light of the candle casts his shadow onto the wall behind him, taking on a variety of eerie poses as the candle flame flickers.

Reaching out and pushing the door open completely, Green noticed that the doorknob was covered in a thick layer of dust, and it was clear that no one had entered the room in a long time.

The room was pitch black and silent.

Green held the candle slightly higher so that the light could shine throughout the room so that it could be seen more clearly.

The furnishings of the room are similar to those of Green's, but the wardrobe and dresser in this room are still there, and it looks like a woman's room.

Two shattered glass windows lay on the ground against the wall, and only one empty window remained in the wall.

The tattered white curtains were still barely hanging on them, and they were constantly fluttering in the wind.

The heavy rain outside the window hasn't stopped.

Looked around the room, but no one was there. What had just happened seemed to be just an accident, perhaps the wind outside the window blew the door open.

Retracting the candle, Green took one last deep look into the room, then turned around and walked out.

Scold!

The moment he turned around, Green had already unsheathed the long sword at his waist, the white-gold light skyrocketed, and he raised his hand and swung out a sharp sword qi towards the wardrobe.

With a bang, the sword qi crashed into the wardrobe, blowing it to pieces. Countless sawdust splattered out, and there was no one inside.

Green stared at a collapsed part of the closet, several planks falling together to block the contents underneath.

Creak.

A few planks moved, and a rat came out of it, scurrying under the bed and disappearing.

Is it really a mouse?

Green looked at him suspiciously a few more times before turning to leave.

......

Zyra carefully spread out her wet clothes and baked them by the fire, and a trace of white gas began to float out of it.

I also brought a spare set, but it was also wet and spread out and set aside.

At the moment, she was draping a small blanket over her body, wrapping her body. The windows in these rooms were all broken, and the wind blowing in with the rain still gave her a chill.

Call.

Another gust of wind blew in, and Zyra couldn't help but wrap her stall a little tighter, both because of the cold wind outside the window and because of the cold breath she had been feeling since entering the castle.

Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, and as soon as Zyra entered the castle, she felt a cold aura wrapping around her, as if she was being targeted by something.

Especially after Green inexplicably spoke into the air, as if talking to someone, the uneasiness in his heart was even stronger.

But the thunderstorm outside the castle made her unable to leave even if she wanted to, so she could only hold back the uneasiness in her heart and stay. After all, the group is all knight-level powerhouses, so there shouldn't be any danger.

Especially after Green suggested that each of them find a room to rest tonight, she should have objected at the first time. It's too dangerous to rest in an unfamiliar castle at will. However, I don't know why, I actually agreed in a daze, and there seemed to be something in the hall, so she subconsciously stayed away.

"Forget it, nothing should happen. ”

She whispered to herself in her heart. After all, with Green's combat power, unless the Great Knight makes a move, no one can threaten him in this Asaph County.

Thinking of Green's performance this time, she was also secretly shocked, although she had heard of his achievements before, she was not too surprised, after all, she had already heard the deeds of countless geniuses in the imperial capital for many years, and she didn't care about the so-called geniuses in a small place like Julu City.

But he didn't expect that the seeds that Thea dug up at random from the Knight Academy would grow so fast in a short period of time, and they were no longer inferior to the descendants cultivated by those top families in the imperial capital.

In this regard, she couldn't help but admire Thea's vision, worthy of being the pride of the Xiumister family, and it was not in vain that she spent so much money in exchange for the qualification to come to Julu City with Thea.

While she was thinking wildly, a puddle of water slowly spread from the floor behind her.

However, Zyra was not completely distracted, and after a while she came to her senses, turned over the wet clothes she was baking, and adjusted her position.

"Huh, where did the water come from?"

Suddenly there was a cool feeling on Zyra's feet, and she looked down to find that a puddle of water on the ground was flowing from nowhere.

Seeing that the water was flowing from behind her, she turned her head in confusion, only to find that her hair was wet and dripping.

Pulling the long hair on her back to the front and looking at it carefully, she shook her hand slightly, and squeezed a stream of water out of her hair.

"It's strange, did it rain so much just now, I didn't feel anything. ”

She lowered her head and wrung out her hair, squeezing out the rain inside.

didn't notice that a woman's head slowly emerged from the ceiling of the room.

The hair obscured the face, but through the gaps, you could still see the bloodless pale skin inside, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time.

Immediately, her hands and feet also emerged from the ceiling, and she stood upside down on the ceiling in a strange crawling position.

Her neck suddenly twisted at an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees, staring straight at Zyra, who was fiddling with her hair down.

Immediately, her neck was stretched continuously, and her head continued to poke down, coming to the back of Zyra's snow-white neck. Her mouth began to open hard, the corners of her mouth cracking to near her ears, revealing two rows of dense fangs, and a forked tongue poking out of her mouth, dripping with saliva.

Her mouth was wide open, and she was about to bite down on Zyra's neck.

Click.

The doorknob suddenly turned, the door was pushed open, and Green walked straight in, only to see Zyra sitting by the fire, her head bowed and not knowing what she was doing. Draped in a small blanket, barely covering the vital parts of the body.

"Ahh

Zyra was startled by the sudden intrusion of Green, and was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses, screaming and turning away, wrapping the blanket tightly around herself.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

Green hurriedly withdrew and closed the door.

After looking for a long time on the second floor, he saw a glimmer of light coming out of the crack in the door from a distance, and he rushed over immediately without having time to think about it, pushing open the door to see if there was anyone, but he didn't expect to see this embarrassing scene.

Standing outside the door and waiting for a while, Green heard the sound of Suosuo getting dressed from inside, followed by Zyra's voice.

"Come in. ”

Green then pushed open the door and walked in, and by this time Zyra was already dressed and standing by the fire, her face was very calm, and there was no embarrassment.

"I was reckless just now, please forgive me. ”

"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding. Is there anything wrong with you?"

Zyra didn't think about anything else, and she probably knew Green's personality and wasn't interested in these things. But it was so late that I suddenly rushed over, maybe something happened.

Originally, Green was going to ask about the Holy Emblem, but now he had to put it aside.

"Do you know where Witt and Nuanka have gone?"

Seeing Green's serious expression, Zyra's eyes couldn't help but become solemn, "Aren't they with you?"

"Not long after you came up, they followed. But I just searched for a long time, but I didn't find them. I feel like there's something wrong with this castle. ”

Hearing Green say this, Zyra also nodded, "I also have this vague feeling, but it's hard to be sure. It's still raining outside, and it shouldn't be possible for the two of them to get out. Let's find out. ”

She picked up a torch from the fire and followed Green into the hallway.

"I found it from that side, and I haven't been to it yet. Green pointed the way he came.

Zyra nodded, and searched with Grimm.

As she went deeper and deeper along the corridor, the environment became darker and darker, but Zyra had cultivated to this point as a woman, and her mind was very firm, so she didn't feel afraid.

After a while, a fork in the road appeared in front of the two of them, and the corridor split in two.

"It's better to look separately, it's too inefficient to find it like this. Zyra suggested.

Green frowned, "It's dangerous to go separately, if something happens......"

"If something happens, I will shout loudly, and I guess there will not be a great knight in this place, even if there is an enemy, I can hold out to your support. "Zyra is not worried about this, with Grimm, even if there are really any enemies hidden in the castle, she is not afraid, not to mention that she is also confident in herself, and ordinary knights are not her opponents.

Green didn't agree, but it was quicker to split up, and so far there had been no enemies in the castle, so the two of them had just run to a room inside.

"Well, then be careful yourself. ”

The two parted at the fork in the road, each heading towards a hallway.

"Witt!

Green shouted every time he walked, calling the names of the two men, and as the commander of the trip, it was necessary for him to bring them back safely.

After walking for a long time, Green suddenly saw a glimmer of light coming from the room in front of him, and his heart was suddenly relieved, so he hurriedly walked up and knocked on the door hard.

With a click, the door opened, and it was the same man and woman who appeared in front of Grimm.

"What's the matter? is there anything wrong with this late hour?" the man asked, confused.

Green squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully before he slowly spoke, "I'm looking for my two companions, the two young lads who came in with me. ”

"What young lad, didn't you just come in with a female companion?" replied the man, looking into Green's eyes with a puzzled look on his face.

！！？

Wait, Green's mind suddenly blurred, and after thinking about it for a while, it seemed that Nuanca and Werther could only stay in the town because of the outbreak of their injuries, so he and Zyra were the only ones who rushed back first this time. It's really just the two of them.
