Chapter 111: Exploring the Murderous Mansion

The next morning, when Carl went to the main hall of the Ashoven to eat, Alexia was already there, and the dwarven boy Tours brought two breakfasts and put them on the table. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was no different from the usual morning, except that the milk was replaced with beer.

Carl picked up his beer and took a sip of it, filling his mouth with a delicious and refreshing breath.

"It's a really good taste. Carl gave a thumbs up to the dwarven store manager Bentri, who was standing at the counter and knocking on the plate, "You need to bring me a bucket." I think that with this kind of beer, even the most boring journey can become exciting. ”

"Hehe, a lot of people like the beer I brewed, the ancestral recipe, it's been three hundred years!" Bantri laughed.

Alexia looked at Karl's appearance, took a sip of the wine glass, and then narrowed her eyes into a crescent moon and let out a satisfied coo.

Carl quietly filmed this scene, the appearance of a petite girl holding a king-size wine glass, super funny.

......

Upper area, southwest corner.

Unlike the clean, tidy, and gorgeous mansions around them, what appeared in front of Carl and Alexia was an old house that had been corroded by time. The walls were littered with dense vines crisscrossing each other, and the weeds that no one had dealt with were almost knee-long. What used to be a large courtyard now looks like a mess, littered with garbage and feces left behind by wild cat and dog locks. The whole sky was also overcast and gloomy, without a single ray of sunlight.

A cold wind blew, accompanied by the barking of wild dogs from nowhere.

Stepping into the courtyard, the two of them quickly felt the change of ice and fire, and the upper area outside was quiet, tidy, quiet and peaceful. But this courtyard is unusually cold and messy, dead and silent. The gap between the two is as stark as a glorious palace jade grave.

"You've really chosen a good place. Alexia had already clasped her twin swords around her waist and entered a state of imminent battle, although her heart was not afraid, but it did not mean that she was not careful.

"I'm glad you can say that. Karl snapped his fingers, and a cloud of light swirled above him, and the candlelight was no longer as bright as usual, like a broken candle in the wind.

But that little bit of light dispelled a chill in the hearts of the two.

The main door was locked, but the lock had long since decayed, and Alexia pushed open the heavy wooden door with the red paint peeling off with a gentle force.

Carl, who was behind the girl, said helplessly: "I bought the certificate and the key." ”

Of course, it's just to say that this lock has long been out of use.

Carl grabbed Alexia and flicked the button on his cuff, and a cyan bird of light let out a soft cry and flew into the ruined house.

Wind two-ring hummingbird, can create a wind elemental bird that lasts for a short time, without any attack power, the caster can share the hummingbird's vision, and the hummingbird will disappear if it is attacked by any attack.

After waiting two minutes, Karl nodded to Alexia.

There is no immediate danger.

Stepping on the decaying wooden floor, making a tooth-aching crunch, although this is an abandoned murderous mansion, as a building in the aristocratic district, its design and decoration taste is still commendable.

The dark red velvet carpet, the one-and-a-half-height floor-to-ceiling clock, the solid wood furniture, the ornate sculptures and the crystal chandeliers in the main hall all show off the grandeur and beauty of the guests – while they are still clean and intact, of course.

Today, the furniture is broken, the crystal chandelier has fallen, a large hole has been smashed in the wooden floor, the sculpture has collapsed, and the oil paintings hanging on the wall are piled up like garbage in the corners, covered with cobwebs, showing a strange beauty.

The only thing intact was the grandfather clock, a brass pendulum swaying back and forth on the dark red wooden base, and the click was particularly clear in the silence of the house.

"Be careful. Alexia suddenly raised a warning voice.

"What's wrong?" Karl opened his eyes.

He had just been observing his surroundings with his spiritual vision, and he hadn't noticed any unusual energy fluctuations.

Alexia turned to look at Karl, "Do you feel irritated?" ”

"No, I just feel a little bored. Carl was stunned for a moment and frowned, "This kind of emotion, it's not right......"

At this time, the minutes of the grandfather clock point to twelve.

The bell rang "bell, bell......" interrupted Carl's thoughts.

Alexia's eyes were clouded, and a strong desire to destroy came to her head.

This place must be completely demolished.

Karl suddenly looked up at Alexia's eyes, and a spiritual force slammed into it, and the abnormal sensation dissipated like a mist blown by the wind, as if it had never been before.

"I see. The corners of Karl's mouth curled in understanding.

Alexia covered her head and shook it, "The clock." ”

"It's a fantasy. Karl walked over to the clock and put his right hand on it.

"That thing is dangerous. Alexia was trying to stop it.

"It's dangerous. Karl shook his head, "But there's no threat right now. ”

Previously, Karl had been thinking about a question, why those people did not show any signs of resistance, normally speaking, even if there was a lot of difference in rank, it was impossible to die without knowing what happened.

But if those people are caught up in the environment and the reality is different from what they see, then it's much easier.

"This energy field should be an illusion field. Karl ran his finger across the ridge of the huge grandfather clock, "Use the bell to maintain this illusion field, Bishop Titus didn't find this source because his own energy level was too high to be affected in any way. ”

Karl turned his head and smiled, "But I'm familiar with the ability to use voice to spread will. ”

"I just fell for the illusion?" Alexia frowned.

"Nope. Karl shook his head, "You have a high will, the bell that just broke out just interfered with your emotions, otherwise I wouldn't have pulled you out so quickly." In this way, the question of why the longer the delay time is solved when there are more people, it is to control everyone and then devour it together. ”

The moment the bell rang, Karl's mental power form switched to a sword type—the easiest way to grasp it first—and then tore through the bell's illusion attack, and hit Alexia with the rest of his strength.

"Use illusion to make the unfortunate lose the possibility of resisting, and then kill them. Alexia drew her twin swords, "Can I destroy this?"

"Why ruin it, now it's my thing. Carl patted the floor clock, "This thing can amplify the negative emotions in the heart of the recipient, and then gradually erode the mind, very interesting design." ”

"Why didn't the rich merchant tear it down when he renovated it? ”

"It's attached to the wall, and looking at the material, it's still a high-end product, so the merchant is probably reluctant. Karl narrowed his eyes, "Let me give it a makeover." ”

"Hurry up, it's not that simple here. Alexia looked cautiously.

"Of course, and I'm not prepared to let danger come my way. Carl smiled.

Open the cabinet door of the grandfather clock, take out the crystal pen and poke a few times at a few inconspicuous points, the grandfather clock burst out a few dazzling sparks, the pendulum sound is still the same, but there is no longer the power to interfere with emotions.

"I've crossed out a few core lines of the formation on this thing, let's make it an ordinary clock first, and then I will have time to slowly transform it. Carl put away the crystal pen.

Alexia, who was on alert, suddenly moved, flashed five meters away, the silver fighting qi attached to the sword, a sword slashed, a sharp scream came out of the air, and then a figure turned into a black mist and dissipated.

"Wraiths. Karl bit his finger, "These guys probably died here in vain." ”

Hazy black shadows appeared in the hall, more than twenty of them, screaming and rushing towards Karl and Alexia. The spirits could still see their faces, and the fear and resentment on their faces.

Alexia took a sword at a time, and under each sword a wraith screamed and vanished.

"Damn. Alexia's voice was filled with anger.

Just now, a child-like wraith died at the hands of her sword.

"Steady, don't let anger take the place of your sanity. Karl warned.

"I know, you don't have to. Alexia swung her sword to dispel the last wraith, "I'm helping them go." ”

Having said that, the depression and hesitation in the girl's tone still made Carl hear.

"And then?" Alexia adjusted her mood and looked at Karl, "What's next?"

"If there was a little bit of information before, but now—" Carl grabbed a few oddly shaped crystals, "the last piece of the puzzle has been filled." Seeing the trick or something, it's stupid. ”

These spirits have exposed something.

Count Stilwell was indeed hiding in this murderous mansion, but not here, but in a space that overlapped with the murderous mansion, and those resentful spirits were also confined by him in that space, only temporarily released.

Karl thrust the cone-shaped crystals in his hand into the air, like an iron cone into the dirt, and just stayed in the air.

"What is this?" asked Alexia.

"Spatial problems are one-type, spatial overlapping. "This kind of space can be very unstable, and if you add some spices in the right place, you can tear one hole and jump to the next."

This gadget is called the Earthquake Crystal, which is a combined product of alchemy and formation method, and the effect is that it vibrates the space in a small area, making it convenient for researchers to collect readings. ”

This time, the trial mission type is to investigate the space, and Carl has received a large number of these gadgets.

Karl filled the conical crystal in mid-air with some mana and detonated it.

Invisible ripples swept across the mansion, and at the same time, Carl's spiritual power followed suit.

A spatial anomaly.

Two places.

Three places.

......

Karl walked through the corridors and stairwells as if he had been here countless times, inserting several Void Crystals in his hand along the way, with Alexia following him.

"The boss fights, are you ready?" Karl looked at Alexia.

"Do you feel stressed?" Alexia asked rhetorically.

Earl Stilwell, when he was still a human, only had the strength of the silver median, and even if he improved now, it would not be too big.

"I see. With a thought, Karl detonated all the Void Crystals.

Several spatial ripples appeared at the same time, converging into a point where the two were standing, and the irregular dark mouth opened to swallow the two of them.
