By the time a group of children had finished cleaning their homes, it was getting late.

Compared with the meticulousness of the girls, Jiang Zhe was too lazy to take care of these, he asked Dia to rinse the attic with water magic, anyway, there were not many things in the small attic, although the result was that the wooden planks in the attic were a little wet, but this was more labor-saving, wasn't it?

At least Alan raised his hands in favor of Jiang Zhe's decision, but Scott didn't seem to agree so much, looking down at the damp floor, frowning heavily.

After cleaning, the three of them began to make the bed, speaking of tidying, it is better to say that it is a ride, a thing made of a few wooden planks is really not a bed, Jiang Zhe and Alan don't care much about this, and they do it at will, but Scott is different, fiddling with high and low for a long time, and finally looking at his expression, he still doesn't seem to be very satisfied.

When the three of them went downstairs, Professor Hodd was preparing dinner, and when he heard the footsteps of the three of them coming downstairs, the professor looked back and said with a hint of surprise, "Oh?

"Ah," Jiang Zhe nodded with a deep sense of sleepiness, and said vaguely, "and lie down for ......a while," he said, glancing at the bread and mashed potatoes on the long table, and said strangely, "Professor, this can't be our breakfast, right?"

The professor was obviously very embarrassed, and said helplessly, "I took this from the village chief just now, hmm...... I remember there were a few bottles of cider in the cellar, are you interested?"

"Hey!" Jiang Zhe shook his head helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't care......" Before the words fell, he heard Scott next to him frown and said, "The empire stipulates that people under the age of fourteen cannot drink alcohol......"

"What's this," Alan interrupted Scott without paying attention, "I drank ale with my old fellow when I was four or five years old......," he said, and he went to the long table and sat down, touched his stomach and said weakly, "I don't think I have eaten anything decent since noon, I'm almost starving, haven't the ladies taken care of their rooms?"

As he spoke, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the stairs.

"Looks like it's already been sorted out......" Scott said lightly, pushing his glasses.

"Oh, is it already tidied up?" Professor Hodd asked with a smile as he looked down at the girls coming downstairs.

"Well, let's do that for the time being, I'm a little tired today......" Lavia, who walked in the front, was a little helpless, obviously, she was not very satisfied with the place where she would live for more than a month in the future, and she still hadn't forgotten the smell of thick dust when she first entered the room, and the girls behind her were the same.

Beckoning the children to sit down at the long table, the boys in a row, the girls in a row, Professor Huo De sat on one side, and said with a little apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare some fresh food and fruits in advance, I'll go to the village later, I remember that the old village chief has an orchard, as for fresh milk, it's more difficult to do......"

"Nothing, Professor. Lavia politely said that it was true that she didn't care much about the food as much about the place where she lived.

"Then let's do it, let's go and rest after breakfast, you may be tired after a long journey. ”

"Yes, Professor. ”

In the end, Professor Hodder did not take out the cider, but prepared a glass of warm water for each person, probably because he also felt that it was indeed a bit inappropriate to let some children under the age of fourteen drink cider.

After this so-called dinner, the girls helped to clean up the dishes and other utensils.

Looking at Lavia quietly, washing the dishes with water, Jiang Zhe felt very incredible, not because she was born in a noble family, but because of her surname, which was very different from Jiang Zhe's impression: that strong, stubborn, and unyielding girl had such an unknown side?

As if noticing Jiang Zhe's eyes, Lavia's cheeks showed a little red, and she glared at him fiercely, and the shame and anger in her eyes made Jiang Zhe shudder a little.

yes, that's Lavia......

After a little muttering, Jiang Zhe, Scott and Alan went up to the attic, which was where they would live in the next month.

Whether it is for Scott, who is from an aristocratic background, or for Allen, who has an excellent family background, the attic in front of him is as awkward as it can be.

Whether it's the rattling skylight, the creaking floor, or the whole attic itself being too cramped, all of this makes it a little difficult for the two of them to sleep.

"Did you sleep, Scott?" said Alan, tossing and turning in bed.

"Awake!" Cocking his head and looking at the starry sky outside the skylight, Scott rarely chatted with Allen.

"Alas!" they let out a long sigh as they chatted, for they were depressed, not so much because of the 'nasty' dwelling, but because of the soft, steady snoring from the bed next to them......

"Strange, man, why did this guy fall asleep so quickly?"

"It's not surprising," Scott subconsciously made a movement to push his glasses, and then he found that the glasses had been taken off, which made him a little uncomfortable, so he picked up the glasses next to him and put them on, and whispered, "Soth is already sleepy, you know, for him, it may be the same everywhere......"

"Oh," Alan nodded and turned around, then sighed again, "I can't sleep......"

Listening to the grumbling voice coming from Alan, and the thin, steady snoring beside him, Scott couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound from the wooden plank leading to the second floor, and Alan sat up alertly, only to notice a small head on the window-like staircase.

"Lavia?" Scott, who was also sitting on the bed, felt a little inexplicable.

I saw a rare hint of shyness on Lavia's face, and said softly, "Are you sleeping?"

Glancing at Scott suspiciously, Alan said truthfully, "That guy is sleeping with Soth, and he's sleeping soundly, what's wrong?"

"This ......," Lavia hesitated for a moment, and said sneeringly, "Did you hear that just now......

"Hear what?" As if sensing something was wrong with only his underwear, Scott pulled the coat beside him and put it on.

"That's it......" Lavia said indistinctly, and at the same time, a small head appeared on the stairs of the attic, and it was Lisa.

"Alan, there seems to be some strange noise outside just now......"

"Strange noise?" Alan inexplicably stepped out of bed, glanced through the window, shrugged, "Is it the sound of the wind?"

As soon as the words fell, there was another wolf howl outside, which frightened the two girls into a little pale.

"It's just the howling of a wolf......" Scott looked at the two girls with surprised eyes, especially Lavia, in his opinion, this girl is the strongest one here except for the professor and Jiang Zhe, even compared to the senior sister, it is not a few points worse, so she would be afraid of the wolf howl?

As if seeing the surprise in Scott's eyes, Lavia blushed a little and reluctantly argued, "Lisa and Lerella are like this, I'm not ......"

"Ive!" Lisa retorted dissatisfiedly, but before she could say anything to retort, Lavia immediately continued, "If you don't believe me, we'll find out by trying, you boys aren't the only ones who are bold!"

"Oh?" because he really couldn't sleep, Scott looked a little interested, and said lightly, "What kind of test?"

"You'll find out later! Wake up that guy before that!"

"Wake him up?" said Alan in a strange voice, shaking his head repeatedly, "I don't want to taste the power of fireballs again, as I said, that guy had a very short temper when he was woken up while he was sleeping...... If you want to call it, you can call it!"

"This ......" Lavia hesitated for a moment, but still went up to the attic, while Alan and Scott began to dress, firstly because the attic was darker, and secondly, the two of them just took off their coats, so Scott did not ask the 'two ladies' to avoid it.

Jiang Zhe did sleep very soundly, lying on the bed on the side of the pillow, to be honest, he didn't sleep very well.

"Sleep peacefully!" seemed to compare him with himself and the others, Lavia was not in a very happy mood, looked at Jiang Zhe who was asleep and said, "Get up!"

The snoring was still so smooth that it didn't fluctuate in the slightest......

"You, you guy!" Lavia was obviously a little angry, reached out and patted Jiang Zhe's arm that had fallen outside, frowned and said, "Hurry up!"

The snoring stopped......

"Let's go, let's go!" Alan hurriedly prompted Lisa to leave.

"Hmm?" Just as Lavia felt a little strange, the person lying on the bed in front of her suddenly opened his eyes and looked at herself, and said in a deep tone, "What do you want to do?"

"......" Lavia suddenly felt that the boy in front of her was so strange, in her memory, although he had the shortcomings of arrogance, arrogance, laziness, etc., but he was very kind......

"Soth, it's Lavia!" reminded Scott, who hadn't left yet.

"Huh......" only heard a long exhalation, and the boy sitting on the bed patted his face with both hands, and said angrily, "What are you doing in the middle of the night!"

Lavia finally heard the familiar tone again, which calmed her pounding heart.

"Because we can't sleep, we want to play a game to kill time......"

"But I'm asleep!" Jiang Zhe said angrily.

I saw Lavia staring at Jiang Zhe for a long time, and said coldly, "I only found out today that in addition to your arrogance, arrogance, laziness and other shortcomings, you are also very selfish!"

"You!" Jiang Zhe was choked by her and couldn't say a word, the two confronted each other for a long time, and after all, he was defeated, yawning and saying angrily, "Okay, okay, I've obeyed you!"

"Hmph!" Lavia snorted and took a few steps back, when she heard a sound of Suo, and then a figure stepped out of bed, feeling a burning heat on her face, and quickly turned away.

It wasn't long before she heard a yawn behind her.

"Let's go, didn't you say you wanted some kind of game? ...... in the middle of the night."

Following the staircase of the pavilion to the second floor, Lavia opened the hidden door.

Glancing at her angrily, Jiang Zhe yawned and walked in, this time he walked in, he was happy.

I saw that the light in the room was very dim, because the light used for lighting came from the five white candles that were inserted on the floor, and in this dim candlelight, Jiang Zhe could see that a pentagram magic array was painted with ink on the floor, and the five candles were placed on the five points of the pentagram magic array, except for Jiang Zhe, Lavia and Scott, the rest of the children sat on the ground around that pattern, and the whole room was filled with a weird and depressing atmosphere.

"Heh," Jiang Zhe felt like laughing for no reason, turned his head to look at Lavia and said strangely, "What is this for? In the middle of the night, you want to curse others with black magic?" Scott, who was beside him, understood a little, pushed his glasses, and a little inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Less nonsense!" Lavia glared at Jiang Zhe and said half-explaining, half-mocking, "I just want to test your boys' guts, sit down!"

Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Jiang Zhe saw Dia, so he sat down next to her, while Scott seemed to notice Lyrela's expectant gaze, hesitated, and sat down beside her.

The last Lavia, after closing the door, naturally sat down between Scott and Jiang Zhe.

"Everyone understands the rules, right?" It seemed that because of the faint light of the candlelight, Lavia's expression looked a little weird, which made Lisa and Lyrela swallow their saliva uneasily, and subconsciously leaned towards Alan and Scott beside them, and even Dia's expression was not so natural.

The girls' expressions made Lavia feel very satisfied, but the boys were different, and Allen's guy was still smiling so heartlessly, Scott was still pushing his glasses casually, and Jiang Zhe was still yawning all the time, all of which made her feel very defeated.

"Whew!" a gust of wind blew outside the window, hitting the window, and there was a strange noise, which frightened the girls' faces to turn pale.

And although Jiang Zhe was a little amused by the strong girl's pale face, he really couldn't resist the sleepiness and yawned, which seriously damaged the atmosphere.

"I said, what the hell is it for, explain it, or I'll go back to sleep, in the middle of the night!"

"Shut up!" Lavia glared at Jiang Zhe fiercely and said, "Didn't you say it, Bibi is bold, not only you boys are bold...... Each of us said one of the most horrible things......" As if thinking of something, she swallowed uneasily.

"Huh?" Jiang Zhe tilted his head a little dumbfounded, telling ghost stories?

"I mean, you're not using this to pass the time because you can't sleep or you're scared, right?"

"You...... How can I be afraid?" Lavia's expression was a little unnatural, and she defended, "Besides, if you suddenly come to such a place, people won't be able to sleep......" As he said, he glanced at Jiang Zhe and changed his words, "Ordinary people can't sleep......"

Jiang Zhe glanced at Allen, Scott, and the others, and saw that they were indeed not a little sleepy, so he yawned and nodded helplessly, "Okay, that's okay! I hope your story isn't too untendency, otherwise I might as well go back to sleep!"

"Hmph! just say that, just don't be scared and can't sleep!" Lavia glanced at Jiang Zhe with dissatisfaction, and added, "The timid guy asked him to go to the small river in the village to get a bucket of water!"

"Don't!" Lisa shook her head as soon as she finished speaking, which made Lavia a little discouraged.

"Okay!" Jiang Zhe shrugged his shoulders indifferently, in his previous life, he was notoriously nervous, and it was common to get up at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night to go out for supper.

"Then begin!" Lavia whispered, looking down at the five white candles, "then...... Who to start with? Scott?"

"Me?" Scott was stunned, his expression a little reluctant, and Lyrela, beside him, hurriedly said, "Start with me, Ive!"

"Yes, okay!"

"This is a thing that happened near my hometown," said the girl with long brown hair, after a pause, looking at the candlelight, "it was in a village not far from my hometown, and a swarm of rats was raging in that village, and the grain, crops, farm tools, clothing, and houses were all eaten by rats, and for this the people in the village were very worried, and one day, a wanderer came to the village, and he played a magic flute, and he told the peasants in the village that he could help them get rid of this group of rats, but he needed to give him a reward."

The peasants agreed, and they promised to give the wanderers some gold coins as a reward afterwards.

The wanderer took out a magic flute from his bosom, and the magic flute played a musical song, attracting all the mice, and the rats followed him across the river in a line, and all of them drowned in the river.

The peasants were shocked and celebrated, but they did not pay the homeless man.

The wanderer was very disappointed, and left the village with the magic flute, just as he had come, but took all the children from the village with him......"

"All the children?" Lisa covered her mouth in shock, Dia's expression was a little unbearable, and Lavia frowned, as for the boys......

"......" Alan scratched his head, scratched for a long time, and held back a sentence, "Indeed, it is indeed a little scary, right, Scott?"

"Humph!" Scott snorted noncommittally.

Jiang Zhe, on the other hand, yawned loudly and said rather depressedly, "This is the so-called most terrifying thing, I think I should go back to sleep......

"You! he took all the children!" Lavia looked at Jiang Zhe with angry eyes.

"So what? Please, is this terrifying? Illusion can easily achieve this effect, right?"

"Forehead......" Lavia was speechless, hesitated for a long time, and looked up at Alan sullenly, "Alan, it's your turn!"

"Me?" Alan shook his head and smiled, thinking about it, "I don't seem to have encountered anything terrible......

As soon as the words fell, Lisa, who was beside him, said with great interest, "I'll tell you, I know a very scary story!"

"Yes!" Lavia nodded, looking at Lisa expectantly.

"A long time ago, probably hundreds of years ago, when the empire didn't exist. At that time, there was a local lord named Vlad, who was very cruel and set many severe punishments.

Once, Vlad led an army to attack a neighboring country, because he was betrayed, the battle failed, Vlad fled back to his own country, the empire sent troops to attack, when the attack reached the city, the enemy army found that more than 20,000 soldiers who had been captured at the beginning of the war were stripped naked and displayed in public, and were interspersed alive on wooden stakes that were a kilometer long and surrounded the city...... Crows and vultures were constantly pecking at the dead bodies, and the smell of rotting corpses was strong around them...... Witnessing the gruesome scene, the enemy soldiers were frightened and had no will to fight, so they had to evacuate ......"

"Ahh

"How's that? it's scary, isn't it? That's what my father told me before!" said Lisa, sticking out her tongue.

Lavia subconsciously glanced at Jiang Zhe, and saw that his expression was strange and a little sluggish, and said proudly, "Are you scared now?"

"Scared?" Jiang Zhe turned his head and looked at Lavia with a smile and said, "If that's what you said about trying your guts, I think we should stop wasting time and go back to our rooms and go to bed early!"

"Isn't it really scary?" asked Lisa in a whisper, "I feel scary......

"Ahem!" There was a cough from the other side, Jiang Zhe looked up, but saw Alan squeezing his eyebrows and saying, "Isn't it terrifying, 20,000 people...... Isn't that right?Scott?" But Scott's snort made him a little helpless.

Lavia was a little disappointed by the successive failures of Lerella and Lisa, and she looked at Dia along the line, somehow, she didn't have a good impression of this senior sister at all, and of course she didn't expect her to tell a story that made that guy feel scared, so she said very domineeringly, "I'll tell you the next story!"

"You?" Jiang Zhe was obviously very unoptimistic, and said disdainfully, "If your story can make me feel a little scared, I'll go out and fetch a bucket of water, on the contrary, if your story makes me feel even more sleepy, I ask to go back to sleep immediately!"

Lavia hesitated, nodded, and said, "Okay, that's it!" as she spoke, she closed her eyes, as if thinking.

At this moment, there was a sudden wolf howl outside.

I saw Lavia open her eyes suddenly, and in the expectant gaze of everyone, she said in a low tone, "Do you know werewolves? The legendary soul cursed by the moon ......"

At the same time, a mile from the village of Rio, a figure in a black coat was walking through a thick layer of snow towards the north.

Suddenly, a wolf howl was heard in the nearby mountain forest.

The figure paused, and in the dim moonlight, we could see that it was a man.

I saw him shake off the snow that fell on his shoulders and back, raised his head and looked at the black and oppressive mountain col in the distance, his dark eyes were filled with deep indifference, without a trace of pity, as if the gods were looking down on ants, and at a glance, he couldn't help but chill people's hearts.

Probably because of the snow, the man's gray-brown hair looked very messy and wet, and there were a few pieces of ice chips on top of it, and the snow water dripped down his pale and bloodless face.

The man didn't care about this, he just stretched out his right hand and brushed back his wet hair, and then let out a long breath.

"It's been a terrible journey...... Tsk!"

ps: Changed the name of the protagonist back to Jiang Zhe during the narration introduction, I think everyone also experienced the awkwardness of reading, as if a person had suddenly changed, so please don't hold on to the name.

In addition, there is an appeal to find a sub-moderator !!;
