Mother Goser, like Creven, rarely performs her skills, and even if she does, it is for the rich nobles of the Radiant City who have spent a lot of money, and this kind of public performance is the first time in Anfil Village.

Many villagers had no idea that she could dance, and that she was so skilled.

The only fly in the ointment was the sound of whimpering and crying coming from the ruins of the hotel behind the Hall of Joy.

The villagers of Anfil Village were not surprised and simply ignored it, and no one came here to investigate the cause.

But tonight, there was one person who broke that convention, and that person was none other than Gavin.

For him, it was not difficult to get out of the banquet.

Nominally, he's the main character, but when the people he should know know are almost there, there's basically nothing to do with him.

Especially after Gose's mother danced with the escort girl, no one cared about him.

Came directly to a lonely night to explore the ruins of a haunted hotel.

It's not that he's bold enough to think he's good enough to face all the odds, but because he knows the truth behind the Weeping Witch.

The Weeping Witch is not really an undead, but someone pretending to be a ghost.

Gavin has repeatedly verified this in the past few days.

The ruins of the hotel are desolate and desolate, but there is not the slightest residual breath of negative energy, let alone the breath of death.

Because of the immortal divinity in his hands, Gavin's perception of this piece is quite keen.

The undead souls all rely on negative energy, and if there is no negative energy left, where can the undead come from?

The Weeping Witch is named Philanciene, not a witch but a powerful mage who has suffered a curse and is bound to another plane by powerful magic.

She was only able to use her power to project her connection to the magic book back to Faeron in a special time.

It is said that the magic book in her hand originated from the Nexriel Empire, from the greatest Arcanist, Iorum.

It was the great arcanist Iolum who invented the Mithic Core, raised the first floating city, and developed Iolem's immortality.

It was also he who unearthed the psionic knowledge of the Zamdas Empire and fused it with the arcane arts, creating a new advanced class, the arcane spiritist.

Gavin didn't know how true or false the legend was, because in his previous life, he didn't get his hands on this magic book, let alone have direct contact with the Weeping Witch.

The only thing that is 100% certain is that this magic book has the advanced knowledge he needs.

This is relatively the easiest to get started with.

If he can't do it here, or if the intelligence fails, he has a backup plan - that is, to go directly to Iorum's last disciple, Lady Tabora, who is at the Bagwit Inn not far from here.

That is a legendary arcanist who has outlived ordinary dragons.

It's just that it's easy to find her, and how to explain how you found her and convince her to impart the knowledge she needs is the biggest problem.

Unless he had to, Gavin didn't want to get up close and personal with a legendary spellcaster, especially a bottomless legendary arcanist, who would be stripped of his pants if he wasn't careful.

In contrast, he prefers to take the situation into his own hands.

The Laughing Robbers Hotel is the most standard square hotel layout.

There is only one gate in the middle, and when you enter, there is a corridor that runs through the north and south, dividing the whole building into two, and the corridor is flanked by symmetrically distributed rooms, and the pattern is basically the same.

There are at least twenty rooms on each floor, with a total of four floors.

This is enough for a small army.

The part that belongs to the stone is still relatively intact, and most of the places can be completely restored.

If it belongs to other materials, it basically has no repair value.

Flammable, almost burned.

Non-combustible, most of them are also melted and distorted, and the only value is to return to the furnace and rebuild.

For most of the place, the fire was extinguished.

This shows that for the next three years, the people of Anfil Village basically did not visit this place, and they were obviously full of jealousy of it.

Ever since Gavin stepped into the hotel, weeping female voices had surrounded him, left or right, forward or backward, far or near, fluctuating.

But in Gavin's eyes, the other party's scary method is a joke.

Don't forget, Gavin is now equipped with a sub-artifact Insight Gem that unlocks the Eye of Truth.

Whether it is the shadow plane, the fairy plane, or the ether plane, the elevation plane, or the half-plane, all the stealth abilities related to it are ineffective against him.

He could find the source of the sound at a glance, it was a vague fog, not even a phantom, it flashed from time to time, and with each change of position, the position of the sound changed.

Gavin didn't feel any negative energy on it, so the Shadow Plane was eliminated.

The fairy plane is also closely related to itself, and the natural atmosphere related to it must be strong, so it is also excluded.

The most likely thing that remains is the etheric plane.

If the Elven Wilds and the Shadow Plane are the material echoes of the main plane, then the Aether Plane is the spiritual echoes.

Although it has a material component, it is affected by the mind and spirit, so it is also called the spiritual world.

Therefore, there is a huge disparity in the perception of the etheric plane between different people, and even different regions.

Some call it a sacred place of faith, because it is inhabited by the spirits of their faith, and this kind of country is typified by Lesserman.

Others see it as the birthplace of terror, and people don't talk about it, as is often the case in small places where information is closed, or where people with intentions are secretly manipulated and ruled.

Others see it as a convenient place to travel, because there is an aetheric curtain that leads to the material plane, the shadow plane, the fairy wilderness, and the inner plane (earth, air, fire, water), and through them, you reach another plane, which is usually done by those spellcasters, the more powerful spellcasters, at least until they have a transcendent level, Gavin does not do this.

In fact, the Aether Curtain Gavin is no stranger, in the rocky field, the curtain that connects the Spring Bud Forest of the Fairy Wilderness is the standard Aether Curtain, but it is temporarily constant.

The Land of Three Rivers, the Elven Midsummer Night, connects to the temporary curtain leading to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, which is also the Aether Veil, which fully demonstrates the plasticity of the Aether plane - the Land of Three Rivers and the Elf Wilderness sing a song together, and the two sides resonate, and they use their own minds to shape this temporary veil together.

Because of this spiritual plasticity of the ether, it is easy to get entangled with those spiritually powerful creatures, especially spirits, many spirit creatures have the ability to enter and exit the ether plane, and hide in the ether to hunt.

This is due to the special relationship between the ether and the material plane.

At the edge of the aether, you can see the material plane, but the line of sight is relatively narrow, you can only see about ten meters, and if you go deeper, it will become fog, but in the material plane, you can't see the aether plane.

This is the third type of invisibility in addition to Fairy Stealth and Shadow Stealth.

Compared with the first two, this kind of stealth is more common, and all professional abilities, without special explanation, when it comes to stealth, it is this kind of stealth.

Because he believes that you can't see him, and when this belief is extremely strong, it will be responded to by the Aether plane, allowing it to merge into the Aether frontier and disappear from the material plane without a trace.

Because of this property, many people confuse the Shadow Plane with the Aether Plane.

The Aether Plane is divided into Aether Frontiers, Deep Aether, and Special Aether Worlds.

The aether border is easy to understand, it is the place where it overlaps with other planes, and other planes can be seen in the ether, but it cannot be attacked, nor can it be touched, and it can pass directly through its body, because there is still a line of difference between the dimensions of the two sides.

The deep aether is purely the interior of the aether, which is normally shrouded in all kinds of tumbling mist, and is filled with curtains of various colors, leading to different planes, and many powerful spellcasters will come here to find ways to go to other planes.

As for the special Aether world, also known as the Aether Space, it is shaped by a powerful being, or a group of people, and appears in different characteristics than other places, and varies in size.

The small one is only one house, and it is all foggy all around.

The big one could be an island or a lonely city in the fog.

It may even be a kingdom with its own civilization, which belongs to the category of Aether civilization.

Gavin is now confronted with an aetheric fog, a vague image of a woman with a cloak of hair.

Her strength was very limited, and she didn't even have the ability to cross the Aether Frontier into the material plane, only the sound of a monotonous cry came from her.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Once the essence is seen through, its terrifying degree will be greatly reduced.

Not to mention, Gavin himself lacked fear of it, and said to the aetheric mist: "Banmen get an axe, that's it, it's good to scare those ordinary people, deal with me, don't waste your efforts, let you open your eyes and see what is called scary art." ”

After saying that, Gavin found an open place and stood still, took out a phantom crystal ball, filled it with psionic points, and threw it out.

As the negative energy surged, a phantom screen appeared out of thin air, and a phantom image began to play.

The phantom playing inside is none other than Regina's latest horror short.

The main content of the short film is to use sound to create a terrifying atmosphere and scare people to death.

This is an original story, and was filmed by a professional opera bard, and then edited.

The performance level of the actors in it is absolutely online, and it is even more real than the real thing.

The sound of horror belongs to Regina's professional mouth, and the atmosphere is absolutely deadly.

Compared with the yin and yang frustration, the sound of fear is obvious, and the eighteen musical instruments are on the battlefield.

The Weeping Witch is just a scary cry, how empty and boring.

The Phantom Horror Short was only a few minutes into play, and the crying voice was completely gone.

But Gavin saw clearly, the shadow of the mist did not disappear, but stayed a few meters away from the phantom, which indicated that the other party was watching the phantom played by Gavin.

Playing ghost movies to ghosts, Gavin is also the only one.

After the Phantom Horror Short Film was screened, Gavin put away the Phantom Spirit Crystal Ball before saying to the Shadow of the Mist: "Now you know, this kind of pediatric intimidation method is ineffective against me, why don't we change the way, sit down and talk, if you have any difficulties, you can directly say, I can find a way to help you solve it, scaring people away is not the solution."

Even if you scare me away, it won't be long before someone else comes, after all, this is a village, and it's on a commercial road. ”

The shadow of the mist actually reacted, floating directly in front of Gavin, and kept opening its mouth, as if trying to say something.

But in Gavin's ears, it turned into a cry of different tones.

Seeing this situation, Gavin couldn't help but have a bold guess.

Perhaps the weeping witch was not crying all along, but wanted to communicate with others, but was restricted.

When the sound reaches the ears of others, it becomes a literal cry.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my guess was correct.

Gavin hurriedly asked, "What exactly do you want to say?" I don't understand, when you get to me, it's all crying, can you hear me? If we can, we can communicate in a different way.

I can see you, so you can write the way you do. ”

The crying stopped on the spot, and the shadow of the mist suddenly changed, and one by one, the small characters composed of the mist appeared in front of the shadow of the mist out of thin air.

This small character resembles a magical rune, which is strange and unique.

If Gavin hadn't been equipped with the Insight Gem, it would have been a lot of work.

This script is the script of the Arcane Empire of Nessreel.

"Get out of here, leave here forever, this is not where you should come, this is a cursed land, there are dangers you don't know about, and ignorant exploration will cost you your life. Get out of here and warn the others not to let them get near here. ”

The barrage of warnings and threats had only one purpose: to get Gavin out of the place.

Gavin asked directly, "Are you Philansini?" ”

This question directly made all the fog characters collapse violently, and then in the next second, new fog characters appeared at a faster speed and quickly condensed.

"Who are you? Who told you this name? What do you want to do here? ”

Gavin's mouth turned up, and he couldn't help but smile.

Although the other party did not directly answer his question, her reaction was indirect.

This shadow of the mist is the cursed witch Philansini, and her current form is eighty percent due to the curse she has received.

Gavin answered her question positively: "My name is Gavin, Gavin Noether, and I am the new owner of this hotel, and I will take someone to renovate the hotel and reopen this place, and I will come to inform you." ”

"I don't agree, I don't allow anyone to touch this land, there are dangers you don't know exist, leaving here and keeping this place as it is is a good thing for everyone."

Even if you use words, you can feel the intensity and excitement in the owner's words.

"Don't fool me with this kind of ambiguous rhetoric, it's useless for me, it's really useful, like where is the danger coming from? If my judgment is true, I will naturally stop the operation, otherwise I can only think that you are pretending to be a ghost, deliberately intimidating others, and do not want them to get close to this place, to get close to the secrets you are hiding here. Gavin's counterattack went straight to the heart of the matter.

The secret hidden by the other party is most likely none other than her magic book.

In other words, the magic book he needed was most likely hidden in the ruins of the inn.

As for whether the spellbook was destroyed by the original fire, Gavin had no worries about it.

Magic books are not ordinary books, they are usually protected by magical powers.

Not to mention a magic book inherited from the Nessera period, which must have even more magical abilities.

"Get out of here, or you'll die...... leaving an unfinished line, and the shadow of the mist vanished completely.

Those misty characters were conjured up by consuming the mist in its body, and it had just been completely depleted.

This shows how weak this weeping witch really is.

Gavin sighed helplessly, he was in contact with the other party, but it was almost as if he hadn't been contacted, and he didn't get half a cent of useful information from the other party at all.

Well, that's wrong.

There are still two pieces of useful information.

For example, it is determined that the identity of the other party is Philansini, the owner of his target this time.

Another example is that it is basically certain that your goal does exist in this hotel.

This is also quite a gain, after all, this is only the first contact.

Of course, the other party did not dissipate death, and the shadow of the mist just now was not the other party's body, but a remote consciousness projection or something.

As long as the other party accumulates some strength, he will definitely be able to create something new.

Next, it's a two-pronged approach, and if you have the opportunity to continue to contact the Weeping Witch, continue to contact it.

The hotel was renovated and renovated, and the place was turned upside down while the hotel was being restored.

Once you find the magic book, the rest of the problems will be solved.

Gavin was the standard man of action, and they had already begun to act while the entire village of Anfil was still asleep.

"We follow the order of easy first, then difficult, first down and then up, first the well-preserved ones that are used as the beginning of the supporting part of the foundation, and the rocks are not easily moved, so that they remain in their original position, and then we will go through the first time, and then go back and slowly repair them."

It's not the first time Gavin has done tinkering, but it's the first time he's repairing a large area of such a broken building.

But it was not difficult for them, and after a simple discussion, a basic maintenance plan was decided.

It is important to strengthen its foundations first and prevent it from collapsing.

In this matter, the kobold is professional.

Most kobolds know at a glance whether this cave or stone building is in danger of large-scale collapse, and determine the location of the core load-bearing column, which is their innate survival instinct, just like birds, at a glance, can determine the gap in the distance, whether they can fly through.
