(291) The Elder Scrolls

The gendarmerie knight hesitated for a few seconds and said to Baron Victor:

"Your Excellency...... I'm afraid to give you a suggestion, perhaps...... We should gather more people to deal with this......"

The vigilantes and militiamen also nodded in unison: "Ask for help!" Ancient voodoo religion is not something that any of us can deal with. ”

"Oh? Are you scared? ”

Victor's expression became solemn, and he asked sharply, "Are you still stagnant when you get here?" Don't you care much about your fellow men? How? Now you've decided to abandon them regardless of their lives or deaths? ”

The five local volunteers knew they were wrong, but the pattern painted in blood on the stone wall terrified them.

In the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation by the natives of Foggy Pines, being cursed by a voodoo cult is scarier than death.

They are not afraid to fight with people or beasts, but they can't bear the fear of the strange unknown, they really don't want to move forward, and they don't dare to come out directly in the face of their bosses, so they all keep silent.

"If you're timid, feel free to leave, get back into your town, and sleep under the warm covers! Leave the three of us behind and enjoy that moment of peace! Then wait for these gringos to continue to plague your town and threaten the lives of your wives and children! ”

Victor's agitation worked wonders, and the five local volunteers looked at each other and thought:

(How can we be so selfish and cowardly?) The tall man was fine, but ...... Leave Her Majesty the Princess and the disabled young master and run away? Doing such a thing will surely be punished! If something really happened to them in the castle, they would definitely spend the rest of their lives in endless self-blame and regret. )

The gendarmerie knight gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to shout: "Damn! No matter! What kind of voodoo sect does he care? It's all demons! Those gringos are invading our lands and attacking our companions, and I must get them out and make them pay! ”

"Good! Then we're not going to go either! Everyone continues to carry out the task together. ”

The vigilantes and the three militiamen also made a decision, and they wanted to defend themselves: "Lord Victor, please don't blame us, we locals believe this, we all grew up listening to the stories of local Lao Rao, and the fear of the Voodoo cult is deeply rooted in our hearts and is difficult to change. ”

"Forget it! You don't need to explain this to me! I don't think anything like this has happened! Victor waved his hand and said that he would not pursue it again:

"Now that we've decided to stay, let's move on! I'm going to see how powerful that Soskaya Voodoo Cult is! ”

He took the lead in carrying the torch and walked forward, leaving everyone with a tall back, and his cloak fluttering behind him, looking quite bold.

Edgar smiled approvingly, "Hehe, that's brave!" It is worthy of my brother-in-law Victor, our Valstarao hero! Follow him and do a great job. She slung her axe to her shoulder and followed without hesitation.

The gendarmerie knight was stunned for half a second, and hurriedly rushed to the front to lead the way, the vigilante gritted his teeth, and also stubbornly followed, and a militiaman pushed Young Master William to walk at the back of the line.

The gate to the inner city was on the other side of the wall, but fortunately, the door was not blocked, and Victor opened it with a strong push.

Everyone walked along the ramp to the top of the inner city wall, which was connected by a suspended stone bridge between the city wall and the main fortress, and after crossing the stone bridge, pushing open the last gate on the front, they entered the interior of this fortified fortress.

The first open area to enter was the main hall of the fortress, a dark world, deathly silent, with the help of the light of the torch, you could see the huge candelabra hanging in the hall, dozens of bats hanging upside down on the candelabra to rest, and the crows landed on the window lattice, blood-red eyes staring at the uninvited guests below.

The hall was filled with the stench of crow and bat droppings, and the smell of rot and rot from the damp wood.

A thick layer of dust had accumulated on both the furniture and the floor, and a few fat rats were crawling along the walls in the dark

Baron Victor stared at the ground, looking a little incredulous: "What the hell! There were no footprints! Where the hell did they go?

The gendarmerie knight leaned down and poked his finger at the thick dust on the ground: "With the thickness of this dust, it can be proved that no one has been here for ten years, after all, some townspeople were frightened and crazy after spending the night in the fort, and since then, everyone has not dared to come again." ”

Victor knew the truth of long nights, especially in this dark and strange environment, he had to get the team to move as soon as possible, so he ordered:

"We can't stand still here!

Edgar, you help take care of Master William, Mr. Vigilante stays behind, and the other four, follow me upstairs, let's go see what's going on with the weird light on the spire? ”

After about ten minutes, Victor was back in the hall with four men, torches in one hand and a cylindrical object in the other.

When he entered the castle hall and saw Princess Edgar sitting on the armrest of her wheelchair, she was amused by William's joke.

William looked quite proud, all these tricks to please the girls had been taught to him by Maxim, and as far as the results of the present were concerned, his pupil had learned it well, and coaxed the savage princess to great pleasure.

The vigilante had a frightened expression on his face, and he couldn't laugh at all when he heard William's joke, because his mind was full of horrific scenes from the old grandmother's story.

"How's it going?" Young Master William asked.

Victor wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead: "There is nothing wrong with it, we were not hindered all the way, but it was too high, and it was a little tiring to climb the stairs."

By the way, the source of the blue light on the spire tower has been found, and this is it.

It was laid flat in the crystal box on the top of the tower, and it was surrounded by dust, which was strange, and it had been on top of the tower for so many years that it had not been touched. ”

With that, Victor handed the thing in his hand to Young Master William, who looked closely and saw that it was an ancient scroll, blowing away the floating earth on it. The outer layer of the leather of the reel can be seen, the edge stitches are evenly stitched, and the workmanship is very fine.

"It doesn't look anything special except that it glows." One of the militiamen commented.

"Nothing special? I don't think it'......"

William Einfurt took the scroll and looked at it, he looked closely at the material of the outer skin of the scroll, and then looked at the skin on the back of his hand, he seemed to have noticed something terrible, the bridge of his nose was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his hands became trembling.
