【062】The Haunted House of Belmez
Qiyan City is located in the southeast of the Elmore continent, close to the famous crystal city of Hines in the south, Ou Rui in the north, and Tongdian in the west. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Strange Rock City is not only a fortress with a very advantageous geographical location, but also a super prosperous metropolis with millions of people living here, and there are more than one million permanent residents in Strange Rock City alone.
Because of its prosperity and convenience, it attracts millions of tourists every year, including many pilgrims to the Cathedral.
"Strange Rock is really prosperous, no wonder it is known as a paradise for the rich. Hain looked at the beautiful high-rise buildings around him, and couldn't help but praise, "It would be nice if I could buy a villa here and live comfortably." ”
"Don't daydream, the housing prices here are ridiculously high, the price of one square meter is at least a thousand gold coins, except for merchants and nobles, where can ordinary people afford it?"
"I can't afford it, can't I give it a go?" Hain pouted unconvinced.
"Okay, we're just passers-by of Qiyan, and we're not here to buy a house, I heard that Qiyan has a lot of fun and beautiful places, while there is still time, we might as well relax." Diharut suggested.
"Okay. I laughed and agreed.
"Eun, I'm in favor of it too. Sister Salena raised her hand.
"When I was in Gurudin, I heard from a merchant that the town of Belmiz near Strange Rock was famous for its haunted houses, and if you were brave enough, why not go there?" Credil suggested.
"Is the haunted house of Belmidz?, is that the legendary ghost face-haunted hut?" asked Sister Salena with interest.
"Grimace cabin?" I asked, curiously.
"Yes, it's the hut, and it's said that there were eighteen grimaces in that haunted house, and those grimaces still exist today. Credier said.
"Huh, there are eighteen grimaces in one room, that's scary. ”
Just listening to their descriptions is already scary, even during the day, it still feels a little creepy.
"Okay, I'm in favor. Hain was the first to jump out.
"Hmph, be careful that the ghost will take you away. I glanced at Hain, and then looked at Selena, "Sister Selena, are you going?"
"Well, I'd love to check it out. Salena looked very expectant.
"But what if there are ghosts there?" I asked worriedly.
"Hehe, it's because I don't know if there are ghosts there, that's why I want to go, life is full of fun because of curiosity, isn't it?" asked Selena with a smile.
Life is fun because of curiosity?
However, there is also a saying that 'curiosity kills cats'.
"If everybody decides, it's better to go to the small town of Belmiz. Diharut announced.
What, people haven't expressed their stance yet, I'm really faint.
After a night's sleep in the inn, the next day we got up and headed to the small town of Belmiz, located in the southeast corner of the rock.
It was near evening when we arrived in the town.
The town is quiet and peaceful, without the hustle and bustle of Qiyan City, more like a paradise, giving people a sense of elegance and purity.
Led by the locals, we finally came to this legendary haunted house, and what I didn't understand was that this haunted house was still inhabited, aren't they afraid of ghosts?
"Welcome to Belmiz, I'm Pat, the owner of the Haunted House. The young man named Pat introduced himself with a smile and welcomed us warmly into the cabin.
In the spacious living room, the host entertained us with local black grass tea and we introduced ourselves to each other over tea.
"This house is good, from the outside, it looks like it's no different from other houses. Diharut took a sip of tea and said.
"Thanks, this is my great-grandmother's property, which has been renovated a few times in the interim, so it doesn't look so shabby. Pat said with a smile.
"What's going on with this haunted house, can you tell us about it?" asked Hain, a little impatient.
"Of course. Pat smiled and said, "This house was the property of my great-grandmother, and according to my grandfather, it was in this house that my great-grandmother was born, and at first the house was in good order, until one day fifty years later, when my great-grandmother went to the kitchen, she suddenly found a human face on the ground glaring at her, and my great-grandmother was so frightened that she immediately called her son, who was my grandfather, and asked him to dig out the face with an iron pickaxe, and then spread the ground with fresh earth."
However, what frightened my grandfather even more happened the next morning, when the grimace appeared again on the paved ground, and the position was exactly the same as the one that had appeared the day before. ”
Hearing this, everyone felt a little chill in their backs, this terrible ghost story happened in this house, and everyone held their breath and listened to Pat's story.
"But it didn't end there, and for some time after that, new grimaces appeared on the floor, on the walls, and even on the ceiling, in a variety of forms, and in the words of my grandfather, 'as if someone had a ghost meeting in our house.'"
Word of the story soon spread around the town, and there were people who came to visit us, some of whom suspected that we had deliberately created a fake grimace to hype it up, but soon, the rumors fell apart.
It was as if the grimaces were really alive, and we don't know how they came to be in my great-grandmother's kitchen, and we still haven't solved the mystery. Pat took a sip of his tea, and quickly took a somewhat shabby parchment-wrapped pamphlet from the table behind him.
"This is my grandfather's diary with some accounts of haunted houses. Pat pushed the pamphlet over, and with a hint of curiosity, I flipped the pages and read it.
"Didn't you ask anyone in the church to see it?" asked Credier.
"Of course, I did, but the monks didn't seem to be able to do anything about the grimaces. Pat said with some frustration.
"What is the reason? if it's a matter of ability, why don't you invite a more senior monk or priest to exorcise the demons?" DiHarut asked.
"The price of asking a priest to exorcise demons is too high, rather than hiring a priest for half a property, it is better to isolate the haunted house as it is now, and now, many people come to visit the haunted house every year, and it can also bring a certain amount of income, so I am too lazy to deal with the church. Pat said with a smile.
