Chapter 15: The Monster Behind the Screen

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Rosen felt a familiar tremor in his mind, and several streams of information flashed through his mind.

"Successfully created a new spell: the Mage Musket."

"Spell Power Rating: Low-tier inferior."

"This spell has been successfully included in Lawson's Spell Book, and it can be activated at any time."

'Whew~~'

Rosen exhaled secretly, and his mind that had been tense all afternoon relaxed: "Guess right, that's good!" ”

A low-level spell alone was certainly not enough to completely reverse the fate of the caged canary, but it gave him the strength to fight in the face of danger to his life.

In the future, when pretending to be a fool, I have this confidence in my heart, and I don't have to tremble all the time, and I can be calmer.

Some tired, he lay down on the carpet by the fire to rest.

About another hour or so, there was the familiar sound of footsteps outside the door, not heavy, but a little sluggish.

'Click~'

The door was gently pushed open, and after a few seconds, Rosen smelled a faint smell of blood in his nose, and his heart shook slightly.

'Hurt?' ’

He lay on the ground motionless, with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep.

'Click~'

The door closed again, and Lilith's soft call came from the door: "Lawson~Lawson~"

Rosen didn't respond, his body didn't move, his breathing slowed down, slowed down, and pretended to be asleep.

The cry was gone, and footsteps were heard, bypassing Rosen's feet and heading straight for the bathroom behind the screen.

The blood in the air grew thicker and thicker.

'Wow~Wow~~'

There was the sound of a spoon scooping water from behind the screen, and Lilith seemed to be washing her body.

At that moment, Rosen's ears leaning against the floor heard footsteps again, very, very soft, and if it weren't for the ears close to the floor, he wouldn't have heard them at all.

'Da~Da~Da! ’

The last sound of the door opening, coming from the next door, was equally inaudible.

Rosen immediately turned his head slightly, opened his eyes, looked at the mirror across the wall, and condensed the "Adventure Journal" to carefully observe the situation in the opposite room.

Because of the angle, he couldn't see the whole room at first, only some light and shadow changes.

But soon, he saw Sellers appear near the wooden table with a suitcase and place the cabinet on the table.

Rosen clearly saw that he took out a palm-sized, flat, black metal box from his bosom, and gently stroked the intricate lines on the surface of the box, the action was gentle as caressing the skin of a lover.

Rosen also saw that there was a deep joy on his thin cheeks, and an irrepressible heat was revealed in his gray eyes.

After touching it for a while, he opened the bottom drawer of the suitcase, took out a few books inside, and then stuffed the black metal box into it, all the way to the innermost part of the drawer.

Then he shoved the books back one by one, leaving only a spell note outside, and finally locked the drawer.

With all this done, Sellers clapped his hands contentedly, took the spell notes, and began to study them earnestly.

Looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, it was as if he had been in his room all afternoon.

Rosen still didn't know what was going on, but it certainly wasn't a good thing.

He didn't dare to look more, so he closed his eyes and continued to lie on the floor and pretend to sleep.

After a few more moments, the sound of water behind the screen died down, and the room became very quiet.

After a few seconds, a deliberately suppressed moan suddenly came from behind the screen, which seemed to be very painful.

"What's going on?"

Rosen was even more shocked, but he didn't dare to explore it without permission.

The groaning continued for a while, then suddenly stopped, followed by another 'grunt' sound, as if something heavy had been smashed on the plank.

After that, there was no movement behind the screen, but the smell of blood in the air became stronger.

"How?"

Rosen gritted his teeth, got up from the floor, and shouted twice at the screen, "Miss Lilith? Miss Lilith? Is it you in there? ”

There was no response, and there was a dead silence behind the screen.

Rosen gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward, as he clenched a paint-smeared knife tightly in his hand.

One-step, two-step, three-step...... Finally bypassed the screen.

Behind the screen there was a tub, and the tub was filled with half a bucket of water, no, it should be a mixture of blood and water, and in the midst of this blood, there was a monster!

The monster had the same head as Lilith, but its skin was blue-black and covered in scales that resembled insects.

Its arms were alienated into two sharp knives, the body of which was covered with barbs, and its body resembled that of a human, but it was also covered with dense scales, which could not be seen further down, and was covered by blood.

Although he had seen all kinds of monsters in movies in his previous life, when he really appeared in front of him, Rosen was still a little unbearable, and he had a strong urge to run away.

But in the end, he still didn't run, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't know where to run.

Suppressing the horror in his heart, he picked up the brush by the tub, flicked the monster's arm with the handle of the brush, and called with a tap.

"Miss Lilith? Miss Lilith? Is that you? You okay? ”

Calling softly for a few moments, the monster's body moved, its drooping eyelids blinked slightly, and then opened a tiny slit.

In the gap was a pair of human eyes, exactly the same as Lilith's, which made Rosen feel a little comforted.

"Ahh

When Lilith saw Lawson, she screamed and immediately shrank into the blood, but as if she had touched the wound in doing so, she screamed uncontrollably and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing the other party's performance like this, Lawson calmed down.

Although it looks like a monster, at least it hasn't lost its humanity and can be reasonable.

He asked softly, "Miss Lilith, is that you?" ”

"You quit! Step back behind the screen! ”

"Ah, don't look at me! Don't look at me! I'm ugly. ”

Lilith let out a sharp cry, waving her barb-filled spiked arm weakly.

Such a reaction completely reassured Rosen.

He didn't dare to overstimulate the other party, and immediately retreated behind the screen: "Miss Lilith, what can I do for you?" ”

"Don't do anything! Needless to say! Just stay honest! ”

"Okay."

Rosen slowly retreated to lie on the carpet by the fire.

Voices came from behind the screen.

"You go back to sleep. If you're hungry, go to the hall and find Jos, and he'll prepare dinner for you. But remember, don't say anything about me! ”

"I remember, Miss Lilith."

When something like this happened, Rosen didn't have the heart to sleep, but he was really hungry, and he screamed 'cooing', reminding him to hurry up and replenish his food.

It's really uneasy to be in the same room with such a monster, so I'll just go to the first floor to eat." ’

Thinking of this, Lawson got up in a hurry: "Miss Lilith, I'll go to the first floor for a bite to eat." ”

"Go ahead, but be sure not to tell anyone about me, understand?!"

By the end, the tone was unusually harsh.

Rosen said 'eagerly': "No, no, no, I won't say anything if I am killed." No matter what Miss Lilith becomes, she is a good person, and I will never harm you. ”

"Good guys? Heh~ Fool! A low murmur came from behind the screen.

Lawson didn't stay long, immediately left the room, and trotted all the way to the hall on the first floor.

"Jos, I want a potato stew and four mince pies."

"No problem, just find a vacant seat and sit on it right away."

At this time, it was nearly eight o'clock in the night, and there were not many guests in the hall, and most of them were drinking, and their eyes were very confused.

On the contrary, the three nightingales in the corner looked very energetic, and their eyes did not seem to blink.

Lawson found an inconspicuous corner to sit in.

Soon, Jos brought the food, and Rosen was so hungry that he didn't think much about it anymore and began to bury his head in his meal.

'Bang! ’

The door of the inn was pushed open, and the cold wind outside rushed in with a few snowflakes, causing several drinkers to curse in a low voice.

Lawson was chewing wheat cakes, and when he heard the movement, he subconsciously looked up.

He saw a man in a black bearskin cloak standing by the door, with big eyes, a big nose and a big mouth, and a beard like a hedgehog.

The height is not high, and it is estimated that he is in his early sixties of one meter, but he is fat and strong, especially the big belly, which is bigger than the woman who is pregnant for six or seven months.

Lawson sighed secretly: "What a big black bear wow~"

But then he noticed that the faces of the three nightingales in the corner suddenly changed dramatically, and one of them couldn't even control his mouth and screamed.

But she didn't make it out.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

I saw that the 'big black bear' suddenly took a few big steps forward, crossed a distance of five or six meters like a teleportation, and came to the screaming nightingale, with one hand already on the other's neck, and forced the scream from the mouth back to his throat.

This series of movements, which seems to be slow and fast, shows a dexterity that is completely inconsistent with the fat figure.

What's even more bizarre is that the movement is so small that the footsteps are inaudible, so that the drinkers in the hall are unaware, and even Jos, who is behind the counter, is not alarmed.

Except for Lawson, no one noticed the anomaly in the corner of the hall.

'He's a master!' ’

Lawson didn't dare to look directly, so he immediately lowered his head and focused on eating the cake, only observing with the corner of his eye.

He saw that the short and fat man smiled slightly, and then his hands moved like lightning, and pressed lightly on the sides of the necks of the three nightingales.

The three women fell back softly, but because there was a wall behind them, and because the three of them supported each other, they did not fall, but sat against the wall, as if they were asleep.

Rosen was shocked: 'So ferocious? Kill them all? ’

'No, no, not dead, still breathing, I should just faint. ’

Rosen's spirit was slightly relaxed, but there was still a throbbing in his heart, and it was still pounding.

After the 'big black bear' stunned the three nightingales, Shi Shiran walked to the counter and said with a smile: "Open a room, I want to stay." ”

"No problem." Jos smiled.

Soon, the short and fat man took the key to the room and walked slowly to the staircase, towards the second floor of the inn.

In the hall, Rosen was still immersed in his meal, but there was turmoil in his heart.

A thought took over his mind: 'Nine times out of ten, Cyrus stole someone's things, and now the bitter lord has come to the door!' ’
