Chapter Twenty-Five: An Unusual House
"Ahh Yes! Yes! Forget it when you see it! Why do you have to say it directly! ”
The girl's voice of shame and anger was clear and loud in the silent and dilapidated manor.
Bang dang!
At this time, there was an inexplicable sound of glass breaking from the building not far away, which made Maggie quiet down and blushed without saying a word.
She suddenly realized that they had snuck in and that they should be cautious and quiet instead of playing so presumptuously.
And I really shouldn't have been out of shape just now!
Pretending to cough, Maggie put on a cold expression, turned to An Ling and said:
"Ahem, let's go inside the manor and look for it and see if there's any suitable obsidian."
"Okay."
An Ling nodded indifferently, as if nothing had happened just now, but curiously glanced at the high-rise buildings in the distance.
There may be no one in this abandoned manor, but there is a lot of chaos of magic and a lot of resentful souls that can't rest in peace. It seems that their trip may not be a simple theft, but an adventure.
Of course, whether it was resentful souls or something else, those aura existences were too weak for An Ling to be of any interest.
The two walked up to a small wooden door and stopped.
Maggie said to An Ling:
"An Ling, you come to break the door, come in and be smaller."
"Okay."
An Ling responded, and with a slight push of his palm, he knocked down the locked small wooden door.
It doesn't seem to be hard at all......
Maggie flashed tears of amazement before touching the ring on her hand. The light flickered, and a bright, soft magic lantern appeared in her hand.
"Let's go in, although there is a high probability that there will be no danger, but don't lose your caution."
"Not bad."
An Ling twisted his nose and followed Maggie behind the door.
The dimly lit corridors were covered with dust, and the already tacky décor of the manor house was even worse when it was dilapidated. There was silence all around, and the atmosphere was a little eerie.
After walking for a while, probably feeling that such a quiet atmosphere was really uncomfortable, Maggie took the initiative to speak:
"This is what used to belong to a baron, and there are so many rooms of all kinds that it seems a bit of a waste of time to explore room by room."
"And where are we going to find the obsidian slabs? Miss Maggie? ”
An Ling asked politely.
Maggie stopped, glanced at the good-looking and cute boy beside her, and whispered:
"Anling, it's okay if you call me Maggie, although we've only known each other for a day, but we can be considered partners who have fought together, so there's no need to be so angry."
Without waiting for An Ling to reply, Maggie turned the lantern again and said:
"We ought to go to the drawing-room, or the baron's master bedroom, or find some collection room, though this vulgar baron may not have such a room."
Because the surrounding décor is so tacky that Maggie's words use "vulgar" to resemble the former owner of the building.
"If not, is there any place to look?"
Maggie walked forward and said calmly:
"Then we're going to have to find a storage room, or a secret room underground, and hopefully that baron really has an obsidian slab big enough that we won't have to run for nothing."
An Ling casually accosted:
"Sheena won't blame you."
Maggie exhaled and said stubbornly:
"I know, but I don't want to look useless! I offered to help with this! ”
"Huh? What is it? ”
Maggie was carrying a lantern and suddenly saw a pool of dark red but not dried blood on the ground not far ahead.
The corners of An Ling's mouth hooked an imperceptible arc, and said:
"It's blood."
Maggie couldn't help but glance at An Ling.
"Of course I knew it was blood, but why was there a puddle of blood here? And it hasn't dried up, huh? …… It seems that there is still a strange magical breath? ”
The more she spoke, the more strange she became, and she couldn't help but step forward, crouching down and reaching out to try to touch the bloodstain.
However, at the moment when the girl's white and tender fingertips were about to touch the blood, a bloody white bone palm suddenly stretched out from the bloodstains and grabbed Maggie's palm.
"Ah~Su~La~Electric!"
Maggie was momentarily startled, then calmed down at great speed, quickly spat out three spell syllables from her mouth, and cast a low-level lightning spell almost instantly.
The blue lightning spread to the blood in an instant, and the lightning flashed, whether it was the bloody white bone palm or the dark red blood, it completely evaporated at this moment.
Calm temporary reactions, nice quick casting. It's really a risk-taker with many years of adventure experience.
An Ling sighed in his heart, and then said to Maggie:
"It doesn't look like this place is friendly."
Maggie exhaled, slowly stood up, held the staff and said to An Ling:
"We might have come across a haunted house! Damn, why are there undead creatures here! Doesn't the Green River City official know anything about this? ”
An Ling shrugged and said:
"That's not something we should be concerned about, the question now is that we are going to keep looking?"
Maggie frowned, looked into the dark distance of the corridor, and said to An Ling:
"Anling, I want to keep going, I think even if this is a haunted house with undead creatures, it won't be too dangerous, and it should be within the range of what we can handle."
"What about your opinion?"
An Ling smiled, and a black iron long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and said:
"I see the same thing."
When the words fell, the black iron long sword in An Ling's hand was attached to a layer of bright light.
"Okay, then let's go inside."
Maggie nodded, put the lantern on the ground, and continued to walk forward, and An Ling slowly followed.
"By the way, An Ling, why don't you use the big sword behind your back, but use this small long sword?"
Maggie suddenly asked in confusion.
She remembered that the silver sword behind her back was An Ling's main weapon.
Because then it will be boring~
An Ling muttered in his heart and replied:
"I've been practicing a few long sword skills recently, and I want to take advantage of the opportunity to practice them now."
"Oh~"
Maggie understood, and continued to walk cautiously into the hallway.
After a while, the two of them came to the large living room of the building, and the furnishings in the large living room had not been moved, and like other places, it was tacky and dirty.
Surprisingly, there are several beautiful obsidian sculptures in the living room, although not the kind of large stone slabs, but they are indeed obsidian.
"Great, it seems that the guy from the guild is right, this baron did like to collect obsidian before. We've come to the right place! ”
Maggie couldn't help but be happy.
An Ling's eyes swept around, and he said contemptuously:
"Something seems to be waking up."
As soon as An Ling's words fell, a circle of misty gray light suddenly appeared in the living room, and a white ghost with a gloomy shape floated out from the walls, floors, sofas and other corners, screaming at the two of them.
