Chapter 139: Caroline's Encounter
In a room inside the Crimson Castle, Caroline slammed her fists on the door with anger on her face, trying to get out of the closed room.
However, the power in her body has been sealed, and the giant axe has not known where it has been thrown by Li Si, she is no longer the young Valkyrie who used to be sassy and heroic, she has lost a qiē strength, she is like an unarmed and weak woman at the moment, and she is helpless in the face of the doors and windows blessed with mysterious power.
"Bastard, is there anyone? Let me out, damn it, hurry up and get a guy who can breathe, it's kind of let the old lady out and fight you for three hundred rounds. ”
No matter how Caroline shouted and cursed, there was no response from outside the door, as if no one in the entire castle cared about her life or death, or that the entire castle seemed to have no popularity.
After shouting for a long time, seeing that no one responded to her, Caroline finally sat helplessly on the ground against the door, looking at the scenery outside the window not far away, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Damn Lucius, why haven't you come to save me until now?"
A "coo" sound broke the brief silence in the room, and clutching her hungry stomach, Caroline glanced up at the delicate food on the table in the room.
After struggling for a while, he still had to stand up, slowly walked to the dining table and muttered: "Hmph, even if the old lady dies, she can't be a starving ghost." ”
However, before Caroline could get to the delicate food, there was a sudden sound of the door locking behind her, and Caroline stopped almost immediately, and without thinking much about it, she turned to look at the door in an instant.
Under Caroline's gaze, the door was slowly pushed open silently, but outside the open door, there was not even a human figure, only an empty corridor illuminated by flickering yellow candlelight.
I was stunned for a moment. Caroline suddenly turned around quickly, rushed to the table and grabbed the food on the table, and then, almost instantly, the moment she grabbed the food, kicked the table, and flew backwards with the force, falling straight out of the open door.
At the same time as leaving the door, he propped his palms on the stall in the corridor, and once again used his strength to do a backflip, his body was light and his steps were gentle on the corridor outside the door.
Although Caroline's power was sealed, she couldn't burst out of her original strength. It is almost equivalent to the power of the Holy Rank, but the skills that have been cultivated through years of practicing martial arts are really undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Standing in the corridor outside the door, picking up the food that had just been brought out of the house, Caroline grinned, then devoured the food, touched her mouth after eating, and muttered, "Unexpectedly, here's something." It tastes really good. ”
After muttering, Caroline began to look around again, trying to see who had let her out, for he had been trying for a long time. He has never been able to open the door to his detention.
Now that the door had opened on its own, Caroline didn't believe that she had touched something, and her instincts told her that someone must have quietly opened the door and let her out.
But. Caroline stood in the corridor and looked back and forth for a long time, and found that there was not even a figure in the empty corridor, and there was almost no cover in the corridor. There's no place to hide.
Caroline was standing in the hallway thinking with a puzzled face when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at one end of the hallway, and Caroline suddenly woke up from her thoughts.
Thinking that she had now lost her strength, Caroline felt that she could not stay any longer, and that it would be even more difficult to escape again if she was discovered by the people in the castle in front of her.
Caroline reached out and closed the door, turned and ran in the opposite direction from which the footsteps came, quickly disappearing into the darkness of the hallway.
It was only when Caroline's figure disappeared into the darkness of the corridor that a figure suddenly appeared before she left the door of the room, watching Caroline run away from the direction and slowly disappear into the darkness.
Along the long, seemingly endless corridor, Caroline ran and ran, trying to escape the strange castle in front of her, from the clutches of the Lis who had imprisoned her.
However, the whole corridor seems to have no end at all, no matter how hard Caroline runs, she can never see where the end of the corridor is, the long corridor seems to be endless, stretching to the ends of the earth, no matter how hard Caroline tries, it is impossible to reach the final end.
Until she was exhausted from running, she could barely lift her feet, and Caroline had to stop.
While leaning against the wall and panting, while looking at the endless corridor in front of her, Caroline couldn't help but curse again: "Whew, whew, what the hell is this alcohol place? Not only are there doors and windows that can't be opened, but there are also corridors that can't be opened, I, am I really going to run and die here?"
"Hehehehe, little girl, if you come to the end, then your life will also come to an end, life can not be used to run, you need to slow down, down-to-earth step by step, in order to be able to walk through the hurdles, through the doors, to see the colorful life. ”
"Who's ......" The sudden voice startled Caroline, and she almost made up her mind to prepare for battle, and looked around vigilantly, with a kind of intention to fight desperately at any moment.
As if seeing Caroline's nervous appearance, the voice echoed in the corridor again: "Hahaha, little girl, take it easy, since I asked you to let you out, then I won't embarrass you." ”
Hearing that the other party ordered someone to release her own person, Caroline's horror faded a lot, but she still looked around vigilantly, ready to go with it, and asked tentatively: "You, who are you? What is the relationship between you and Li Si? Why did you send someone to let me out?"
"Well, it looks like you're in a hurry, okay, in that case, then you can come, there are some things, it's better for us to talk about them in person. ”
As soon as the voice fell, the corridor in front of Caroline suddenly came to an end, and a simple wooden carved door appeared not far ahead, almost standing in front of Caroline, close at hand.
Caroline hesitated again in the face of the sudden door, not knowing what would be behind the door, and only walked out of one cell in fear, and after stepping through that door, she stepped into another cage again.
But now, there was no way back, and if she didn't push the door open, she would have to turn around and go back, either to be caught by someone else, or to go back to the room she had been in.
Caroline's hesitation, as if sensed. The voice came from behind the door: "Don't worry, since I sent someone to release you and bring you here, I won't do anything unfavorable to you." ”
Hearing the unknown voice, Caroline suddenly felt a little confident in her heart, forcibly abandoned the fear in her heart, and walked to the wooden door.
"Squeak" stood in front of the door, she didn't hesitate again, and directly reached out and pushed the wooden door open.
The wooden door was pushed open, leading to Caroline's eyes. It was an empty, deep, dimly lit hall, and the corridor extended into it, and on both sides of the passage, there were dark and cold thick stone pillars.
On either side of each stone pillar, a brazier with strange flames danced, and the light of the fire did not illuminate the hall very brightly, nor did it bring much warmth to the empty hall.
The qiē in front of her deeply shocked Caroline, although she lost her own strength, Caroline laid out from in front of her. I can still feel that the entire hall is full of powerful power, and in the depths of the hall, there seems to be an extremely powerful being. She looked at Caroline, who was standing in front of the door, with a pair of eyes.
"Don't be afraid, don't worry, I won't hurt you, it's safe for you to get here. My children and grandchildren have not yet dared to come to me openly to ask for help. ”
The other party's words shocked Caroline again. The other party calls Li Si and them "children and grandchildren", then the other party is probably the oldest person in the Li Si family, according to Li Si's previous introduction, this oldest figure is probably the first rent of the Li Si family.
Such a first-renter appeared in the Scarlet Castle where the Li Si family was located, and she was about to meet each other, Caroline suddenly had a thought in her heart: "I don't know how old this ancestor of Li Si is?"
Caroline had just thought about it, and the Cun Zài in the main hall seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and then said with a smile: "Little girl, are you curious about my age? Actually, I am not as old as you imagined, at most I am the same age as some powerful magicians in your Western Continent. ”
Caroline's answer frightened Caroline, who didn't expect that the other party could even know her own thoughts, and such a strong but long-lived old monster would make anyone feel frightened.
Without giving Caroline a chance to speak, the voice inside the door came again: "Little girl, you really don't have to be afraid, come in, I just want you to have a good chat with you before leaving." ”
Saying that, he sighed, and continued: "Hey, I'm old, I haven't left this forest for a long time, and I really want to find someone from the outside world who can tell me about the current scene outside." ”
Hearing what the other party said, Caroline finally overcame her fear, and stepped into the main hall at the door, walking along the aisle between the two rows of pillars, until she wanted to walk slowly to the depths of the main hall.
At this moment, Caroline did not have the timidity and obscenity before, but swaggered forward, and came to the end of the corridor in one breath.
Although Caroline had imagined countless kinds of people around her waist and had thought about how to deal with them, when he saw the person who called for her, Caroline couldn't believe her eyes, she couldn't believe that what she saw was true, and the horror in her eyes suddenly turned to shock.
An old man with only half of his body, the lower half of his body inlaid in the hardwood, looked like an intact person, but no one dared to imagine how an old man who had lost half of his body could still survive, and his body could still exude palpitating coercion.
Seeing Caroline stunned and staring at herself for a long time, the old man smiled and said, "Hehe, I thought that people from outside would not be surprised to see my appearance, but I didn't expect it to scare you." ”
Without waiting for Caroline to speak, the old man first made a Western Continent salute to Caroline, and introduced himself: "Okay, old man, my name is Li He, you don't have to be afraid, you don't need to be surprised, I will answer you later, but before answering you, I hope you can tell me first, are you from that metal city?"
