"Sissy, Isabella has a piece of letter paper falling out of her."

Rosie, who closed her eyes to relieve the pain, was about to open her eyes, but she heard Erin stop her again, "Eh, don't open your eyes if your eyes hurt, I'll just read it to you!" ”

"This should be the letter that Ixis wrote to her."

With that, Erin came out with faith, "Dear Isabella, I should have left by the time you read this letter, please forgive me for not saying goodbye."

I have something very important, great to do, and when I succeed, I will come back to you.

I've laid ritual magic in the basement, and you're going to stay there for an hour every week, so that the ghouls I've cultivated won't come and attack you, and that's my protection for you.

Isabella, I will miss you, and I hope that when we meet again in the future, your face will not change and your skin will still be as smooth as it was at the same time. ”

"Disgusting!"

Reading this, Erin couldn't help but scold, and then hurriedly explained, "Sissy, I scolded this sentence, and it wasn't written on the letter." ”

"Poof!"

Rosidon couldn't help but laugh out loud, shook his head, and said, "I heard it, you keep reading." ”

"By the way, remember to feed Seit some carrion every few days, he has to live well, he lives, I will feel better when I am with you, love you...... Aixis. ”

Rosie thought that this was the end of the letter, but after Erin made a nasal voice of disgust, she continued:

There are many more sentences below, which should have been written by Isabella at different times:

Thinking about your first day, phew...... There are too many disgusting love words, I'll eliminate them and read them to you! ”

Erin's voice paused, "It's been three months, you'll be back, right?" It's infuriating that Syat actually said that you lied to me, and I want to throw him to Said!

Oh dear, the ritual magic in the basement really keeps me from being attacked by ghouls, huh! You didn't lie to me, I hope you didn't lie to me about anything else!

The people from the village came and asked why the ghouls didn't attack me, huh...... I had no choice but to take them to the basement.

You're a liar! Well, Drade said the same thing, I lost him to Said, hehe! I know, he wants to lie to me too.

My body seems to have changed a little, but Chester said that it was normal, well, she is the maid you recruited, and she will not lie to me. ”

"Hate you...... Miss you...... Lie to me...... Eh, that's all this nonsense! ”

Erin complained depressedly and continued to read, "It's been years, why haven't you come back, liar!" What have you been delayed by? If I don't come back, I won't be able to cover the wrinkles on my skin!

Today, the new maid said to me that fresh blood nourishes the skin, huh...... I tried it with her and it felt good, and she really didn't lie to me.

My skin is rejuvenated, dear, there are fewer and fewer people in the castle, when will you come back?

We can invite people from outside to visit the castle, well, that's a good idea, too, says Koster! ”

When Erin finished reading this sentence, the system's prompt sounded:

"Ding! Get an important clue to Hayley Grégory's disappearance: letters from Isabella's personal collection. ”

Huh? Is this just a clue? Can't submit a detective?

The letter was so clearly written that you could guess that Hayley Gregory had died at the hands of Isabella!

Could it be that I need to turn around this castle and collect clues little by little, and then it can be considered a detective?

complained in his heart, and as soon as Rosie was about to speak, he heard Fan Shen on the side say:

"The maid's body is gone!"

It's gone?

Rosie Huo Ran opened his eyes and looked at the place where the maid's body had been, and it was empty.

Walking briskly there, and after showing the footprints with [footprints revealed], I realized that she had escaped on her own.

Seeing her footprints running into the room inside the passage, Erin immediately asked, "Shall we go after her?" ”

"No!"

Rosie immediately refused, "Let's go to the basement and destroy that ritual magic." ”

"Yes, in my experience, ruining ritual magic is much more useful in this case than chasing down one or two monsters." Fan nodded in agreement.

I didn't think about it that much, mainly because the time limit for the mission was running out!

Glancing at the forty-five minutes left in the countdown, Rossi immediately began to act.

The path to the basement was not hard to find, and the access from the other passage, symmetrical to the one where the maid had taken them, was a staircase that went down.

Presumably by the villagers who believed in evil gods, the staircase was decorated with strange and magical decorations.

Pushing open the wooden door at the bottom of the staircase, inside is a small square room of about sixty square meters. Fourteen white candles were burned in each of the four corners of the room, supported in the middle by a rectangular pillar, on which hung a portrait of Ixis.

As soon as the door opened, a strong and strange evil aura rushed to his face, and Rosie could feel the almost physical aura of black magic without even opening the insight vision.

The floor, walls, pillars, and ceilings are all inscribed with ancient scripts.

"Don't go in yet!"

As a reminder, Fan took out three arrows and silver-plated arrows and replaced them with crossbows, aimed at the three largest and most conspicuous magic scripts next to the ceiling connected by the pillars, and pulled the trigger again and again.

Without making the slightest sound, the three arrows seemed to pierce the tofu block, and in an instant they sank into the ceiling.

In the next second, the entire castle began to shake violently.

"Armor protection!"

In order to avoid accidents, Rosie immediately put a layer of shield on the three of them.

At this moment, as the castle shook, the pillar in the center of the basement suddenly cracked vertically, and then quickly expanded in half, revealing the glass container hidden deep inside.

The glass vessel was engraved with magic inscriptions, and there was a moving oily substance in it that had been glued to the doors and windows of the hall before.

What the hell is this?!!

Rosie suddenly had a lot of doubts in his heart, although it looked a bit like a volcanic bat, the same black, the same like a veil like fog......

Wait a minute! Isabella became, too, this kind of thing?

Seeing this, Fan on the side suddenly thought of something, gasped and said, "Silently?!!! ”

"Silently?"

Rosie seemed to have heard of the term, but couldn't remember it well, so he looked at Fan in surprise.

Seeing her incomprehension, Fan opened his mouth and explained:

"Silence is a magical creature born under certain conditions, usually residing in the body of young wizards, and is extremely destructive."

He paused, then continued, "But under normal circumstances, silence that is separated from the host will return to nature after a while. ”
