Chapter 6: The Lord's Mansion

"Anyway, leaving these things in the world is a scourge sooner or later. "Yalei decided not to delve into the matter of catching the spirits empty-handed for the time being, and the key is to destroy all these strange things first.

"Leave it to me!" Charlene volunteered to stand up again, for her, it was one of the great joys of life to torture and kill the mobs.

"Your lord, please don't kill them, these wraiths are just guides...... That's what Bagh told me to say. As the aquatic horse spoke, he kicked the jack-o'-lanterns around him one by one.

"Where?" the black-haired knight grabbed the green-haired girl and forced her back to her seat.

"Your Lord, your mansion. The Aquatic Horse spoke the words of the Headless Horseman again.

"The lord's mansion?" Arei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there was still the lord's mansion in this barren land in the poor countryside, and he didn't know which generation of earls burned money to build it.

Such an interesting thing, no matter what, you have to take a look.

"Let them lead the way!"

The scene was indescribably strange - in the cold sunlight, the Headless Horseman drove a black carriage, surrounded by pumpkin lanterns, along the grass-covered path, and with them they moved, a thick fog.

As he turned out of the col, a little color suddenly flashed ahead, breaking through the dead silence and gloomy wilderness.

On the slope ahead, a blanket-like green lawn appeared, sparsely dotted with some pale white flowers, full of life and vitality, completely different from the barren and empty surroundings.

And in the very center of the lawn. A large and elegant castle-like mansion appeared. The entire building is made of pale yellow and white stones. Everywhere there are green vines, some of which have small white and yellow flowers.

Directly in front of the carriage was a round arch hole, sealed by a rusty iron fence, and at the joint of the fence gate, there was a large gold lock engraved with countless runes.

The lights inside the mansion are bright, and there are faint figures.

"There is such a beautiful house!" Charlene couldn't help but cheer, looking at the dreamy mansion with a look of obsession. The green eyes almost turned into a heart shape.

"......" Yalei seemed to sense something, and his pupils stared ahead for a long time, as if silently estimating the danger.

"No, no, no, it's too abrupt!"

The green-haired girl forced herself to calm down, and looked around at the bushes, and then at the magnificent and luxurious lord's mansion, and couldn't help but feel a commotion.

The black-haired knight sneered suddenly, and said with a calm expression: "Don't worry about it, keep going." ”

"My lord, the gate in front of the courtyard is locked with a golden lock. That's what Bagh told me to say. The aquatic horse stopped crampedly, snorting in annoyance. Hesitantly said:

"Grubi means it's weird here, why don't we leave......"

Bangβ€”β€”!

Before it could finish its words, a black pillar of light instantly swept by its side, directly hitting the golden lock engraved with a large number of runes, and the terrifying heat vaporized it into gas.

With a "clang", the iron fence automatically opened to the rear, and the warm air currents broke through the fog, exposing the entire carriage to sunlight again.

"Go on!"

After shattering the golden lock that was in the way, Yalei quietly withdrew his arm and motioned for the carriage to move on.

He wanted to see what evil things were hidden in this so-called lord's mansion, and he dared to take an axe in front of the head of the demon god.

"You have the final say...... Anyway, if something happens, I'll definitely run first. Unable to resist the dual will of his employer and the Headless Horseman, the Aquatic Horse cowered and stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard of the mansion is a world of birds singing and flowers, unknown beautiful birds rise and fall in the courtyard from time to time, and the main road is paved with a layer of white jade, and small trees grow on both sides.

On the left and right sides of the arbor, there is an isolated slender bundle of pillars, and at the top of the stone pillars are two vivid angel sculptures, as if they will lift their clothes and walk down from the stone foundation at any time.

On the outer side are the tender green bushes, which are enclosed into the courtyard by a circle of hollow carved fences, presenting a vibrant verdant color, and several densely foliage landscape trees stand upright among the flowers and plants, exuding the unique fresh fragrance of plants and trees.

The carriage passed through the hall and along the straight jade-paved continent until it reached the gate of the lord's mansion.

The curved arch is wrapped in a layer of silver foil that reflects the harsh light in the sunlight, and in the center is a brass circle with a wide keyhole inside.

"Pug, Grubby, stay in the courtyard and wait for me. Yalei jumped out of the carriage first, opened the door, and said to the green-haired girl in the carriage:

"Charlene, I hope you ...... too"

"No! I'm going in too. ”

Charlene waved her hand resolutely, jumped out of the carriage flexibly, looked at the mansion that almost glowed softly in the sun, squeezed out a faint fold between her thin eyebrows, and muttered:

"Either we're all crazy, or it's just another ghost ship. ”

"......" The dark-haired knight was amused by her analogy.

"We don't have a key, how can we get in?" the green-haired girl walked to the door and fumbled through the keyhole of the arch, trying to shove her thin white fingers in.

"It's simple. Aree patted her on the shoulder, motioning for them to get out of the way, then stepped forward and kicked the door back.

"It's still as simple and rude...... Charlene rolled her eyes and stepped through the door first.

The hall is paved with colored inlaid stone slabs, spacious and bright, and the skylight facing the door just obliquely shines down a beam of golden sunlight, projecting on, making the whole hall even more splendid. The walls are decorated with two rows of frescoes, delicately carved and covered with gold leaf inlays, which are gorgeous and dazzling.

"If this mansion weren't located in the hellish place of Glamorgan, and you told me that it was the residence of His Majesty the Emperor, I would not hesitate to believe it. ”

The green-haired girl walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the gate, touched the edge of the black porcelain-covered window, and raised her white tender fingers: "It has been uninhabited for decades, and there is no dust here at all." ”

"I saw quite a few figures outside, what about you?" he said, walking towards the murals on either side of the hall.

"I saw it too, but my perception told me it was mostly a hallucination, and half was weird. Charlene quickened her pace and caught up with the black-haired knight.

"Who are these people?"

Yalei observed the first mural on the wall, the image of an old man, in the sculptor's skillful knife box, the other party's eyebrows were as clear as a knife carving, and his eyes looked deeply ahead, as if contemplating an unsolvable puzzle, as if immersed in some unique landscape.

"Who knows, look at me again, look at me again...... I'll poke you blind if you look at it again!"

Charlene stepped forward, staring at the sculpture with big eyes, and suddenly had a playful heart, raised two fingers, and really poked the old man in the mural into the eyes.

After poking it, she found that the wall was much softer than she had imagined, and even a little more elastic, so she couldn't help but poke a few more.

"What are you poking it for......"

The black-haired knight shook his head and turned his gaze to the second mural, and the green-haired girl bounced after him.

Neither of them noticed that the old man in the mural, who had just been inserted in the eyes of Charlene, instantly showed a painful expression on his face, and then became angry and glared at her viciously.

"Who's peeping!" The green-haired girl suddenly felt a pinprick in her back, and suddenly turned behind her, scanning the walls of the hall suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Aret was startled by her, and followed vigilantly around the area.

"I don't know, it always feels like something was staring at me just now...... It's not a delusion. Charlene scanned left and right, but found nothing abnormal, and replied curtly.

Trained to the level of the Scourge Knight, they are all experienced combat masters, and their bodies have all kinds of instincts that are different from ordinary people, and generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with them.

"The mansion itself is not normal, it's normal to feel this way, and I feel the same way, so it's always right to be careful. ”

The black-haired knight didn't express his dissatisfaction, although his perception didn't work, but the instinct to fight was still there, and since he stepped into this mansion, he had the feeling of being watched by countless eyes.

"It must be this strange old man's ghost, I didn't like him from the moment he first came in!"

The green-haired girl gave birth to a resentment for no reason, her beautiful eyes stared at the old man in the mural again, stretched out her fingers like lightning, and buckled and dug on the other party's eyes to vent for a while, before she turned around and left satisfied.

At the moment when she turned around, the old man in the mural suddenly covered his eyes, and his whole old face distorted into a painful expression, but he didn't dare to stare at the other party again.

In the middle of the two floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, there was a large long dining table, which was covered with a white tablecloth, and there was no food, but on the table was three silver cutlery on the left and right.

"Hmm, there seems to be something under the table!"

Yare frowned, walked briskly to the left side of the long table, tossed aside one of the high-backed chairs, and quickly looked down to see a pair of cashmere slippers under each chair.

"Slippers under the dining table, where is this strange custom?"

After venting her grievances, Charlene, who was in a good mood, followed again, and looked at the six pairs of slippers horizontally and vertically, so she simply moved the dining table to the side, kicked the slippers out of the door one by one with her small leather shoes.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a few phantom shadows disappear from under the table, and if I looked closely, there was only a bright floor.

"What's going on?" she wondered if she was dazzled.

"Something is wrong...... Something is very wrong...... There are a lot of surprises for me here. ”

Yalei looked around the hall coldly, scanning from the murals to the lights, and the feeling of being watched in his heart became stronger and stronger. (To be continued......)
