Chapter 187 Is it okay to have intentions against Alice? I’m not talking about the knife (10,000 words, please subscribe)
Kiyaen is a little extra enthusiastic about exploring the manor.
The four Snake Faction members each cast a vague glance at him who was eager to try, and shook their heads inwardly, sighing that this was indeed the Cat Faction.
The other demon hunters who did not have an [Inventory] immediately checked their alchemy backpack straps and applied sword oil on the gaps in the wall to make sure that everything else they needed was within reach.
After confirming that the preparations were correct, everyone stepped into the Everrick Manor.
It had only been abandoned for a few years, but the manor looked as if no one had been here for decades or hundreds of years. There were wildly growing trees everywhere, and gravel and fallen leaves almost paved a new layer of road on the ground.
The manor was very large, and everyone turned on their demon hunter senses and walked all the way.
The first thing that appeared in front of them was a fountain with very cold water.
"Something's wrong." Lei Suo suddenly said, "There are traces of someone moving here."
His amber snake eyes shone, obviously turning on the demon hunter's senses, catching the subtle clues and traces in the air.
Kolgrim kicked a sack next to his feet and echoed Reso's words: "I found two bags of compost. It's very fresh. Apparently someone is still taking care of these plants." Kian looked at a deck chair and looked at it
. Thoughts: "The wood is very worn and very new. It seems that the guys still living here are very leisurely." "
Lan, you said that Olgierd left the manor himself, but imprisoned his wife in Are you here, right? Is there really a lady or lady who can endure such an environment?"
Kyan patted the recliner, stirring up a thin layer of dust.
"Did she sit directly on such a big piece of ashes?"
Lan En shook his head and said something puzzling: "I'm afraid it's not 'her', but 'it'."
Before he finished speaking, Lan En As if they sensed something, both of them looked up at one place. The talent of [Psychic Medium] affected their senses and pointed them in the direction.
Shrouded in mist, an old easel stood beside a bright flower bush.
And among the flowers, a black dog and a black cat suddenly walked out and squatted on both sides of the easel. Their fur was shiny and they were clearly well cared for.
But everyone knows that they are definitely not ordinary cats and dogs, not only because their harmless appearance is incompatible with this environment, but also because their eyes are cloudy and mixed with black and white, like two worn-out oil lamps shining in the darkness. With a strange light.
It was only then that the badges on the necks of the demon hunters began to vibrate.
This was not over yet. Lann and Keyan looked at the back of the cat and dog as if they had something to do. A tall figure strode out of the mist. His movements were rough, but he carefully avoided the flowers and plants on the ground.
The demon hunters drew their swords from their backs together.
The figure was dressed like a gatekeeper, wearing a tattered black hooded robe and wielding a tattered shovel.
But if that's all, it's definitely not worth the fact that the demon hunters are facing such a formidable enemy. The key point is the "unrecognizable" face he showed in front of everyone: his face seemed to have been torn off completely along the facial features, and then It was like a new piece of human skin was sewn on. There was nothing above the mouth, only a circle of thick, round sutures, revealing the scarlet and ferocious flesh.
A human body with such a face is far more terrifying to onlookers than those ferocious monsters.
Keyan chuckled: "I don't know whether I should call this guy ugly, after all, he doesn't even have the qualifications for being 'ugly'." Except
for Lann, the other five people stretched out their hands with almost muscle memory. With a touch of the alchemy backpack strap, there were two bottles of magic potion in his hand.
[Swallow], which continuously recovers injuries, and [Thunder], which enhances muscle strength.
Lann's movements were a little slower. The opponents he usually encountered rarely required him to use potions. But the gatekeeper in front of him was more than a regular enemy.
Moreover, the atmosphere has reached this point, and I feel a bit out of place if I don’t drink two bottles.
He also turned his left hand over and found two more alchemy glass bottles in his hand. One bottle of potion is golden and orange in color, like the vibrant spring, and is [Swallow]; the other bottle is deep blue in color, as if the sea is concentrated in it, and is called [Petry's Potion].
[Petry's Potion]: Enhances the strength of the seal and increases the probability of effective effects of the seal such as ignition and knockdown.
Special offer of Gryphon School potions from Geron. As the potion entered his throat, Lann felt that all the chaotic energy in his body was awakened.
Not only that, Lann also continued to take out an ordinary mirror from the [Inventory] and pointed it at the gatekeeper, showing his expectation.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as he imagined. Looking at the gatekeeper who was walking towards him and others with firm steps, Lan looked in the mirror and shrugged helplessly: "Sure enough, we can't take advantage of the loophole." The next second, a faint blue sound suddenly burst out from the
gatekeeper's body. The flame-like light was the brightest on his shovel, even faintly overshadowing the rune sword in Lan's hand.
"Hide!"
Lann didn't need to remind him at all. The demon hunters had many times more experience in fighting enemies than him. Just when the gatekeeper started to shine, he turned into a black shadow and scattered.
"Boom!" The shovel in the gatekeeper's hand seemed to turn into a luminous heavy crossbow at this moment, charging straight at him with astonishing momentum and speed, directly setting off a burst of flying dust like a meteorite falling to the ground where everyone was standing.
The white mist in the manor also became thicker. In the northern realm of smoke, which was like a magical realm, the gatekeeper who missed the attack slowly stood up and turned around.
Six pairs of eyes of different colors looked at the large pit at the gatekeeper's feet, showing solemn expressions. This is definitely not a power that a Gatekeeper's size can unleash, and one blow can definitely kill someone.
With a flash of light, the demon hunter was simultaneously covered with [Quen's Seal].
At the same time, Lann slapped the ground, and a huge purple magic circle that far exceeded the normal range rose from the ground. A purple hourglass mark appeared in his sight, and he hung it on the gatekeeper without hesitation.
With a "click" sound, the purple magic beam struck the gatekeeper like thunder and lightning, almost knocking over the monster that was still in the same concave shape.
Except for Leisuo, the other demon hunters who had never seen the function of this new type of seal were shocked on the spot. Are all the seals of the Griffin School like this?
But at this moment, they were in a battle. Even though everyone was surprised, the movements of their hands were not slow at all.
Four pairs of snake eyes simultaneously pulled out amber trails in mid-air, and the silver sword blades flowed unimpeded in the magic circle.
With a "clang" sound, Lei Suo's thick arm firmly held the gatekeeper's shovel, and his whole body was shocked, surprised by the huge force bursting out of the opponent's thin body.
"Puff", "Puff", "Puff", the other three long swords deftly revealed their fangs from the palms of their respective owners, and penetrated the throat, heart, waist and abdomen of the gatekeeper respectively.
The four snake sect demon hunters seem to be one. They are different from other demon hunters who fight alone. Since the collapse of the school, they have been acting collectively and fighting together. The tacit understanding between them is unimaginable by other schools.
With such a serious injury, no matter what kind of monster it is, there is no possibility of surviving.
But the gatekeeper's body shook violently twice, and he was still wrestling with Lei Suo with a shovel after being penetrated by three silver swords!
At the same time, the ground under the gatekeeper's feet slowly cracked, and a faint blue light that was the same color as the gatekeeper's body was faintly revealed from those gaps.
Lan hurriedly shouted: "Get back!"
Everyone in the Snake Faction had already noticed something bad from the shaking of their badges. They didn't even have time to pull out their swords from the enemy's body, so they retreated and left the scene.
Only Lei Suo was on the verge of a tiger. He was wrestling with the gatekeeper. If he had the slightest tendency to flinch, the shovel in the enemy's hand could open his head. The Snake Sect's [Quen's Seal] is not as hard as Lan's system skill.
But fortunately, he is not alone at the moment.
Lann, who was not far away enough to have an overview of the whole scene, had long sensed the gatekeeper's intention to attack, and aware of Lei Suo's predicament, he decisively adopted a relatively crude method - [Alder Seal·Magic Explosion]
!
The violent magic turned into a hurricane and swept across the earth. Lei Suo felt that someone suddenly hit him behind with a heavy hammer. The long sword and shovel in the confrontation were instantly out of balance. The long sword received help out of thin air and pressed directly against the iron. The shovel made a huge tear in the keeper's shoulder.
However, Lei Suo had no way to further expand his record. In the next second, he and the gatekeeper soared into the air. The impact of his telekinesis continuously acted as kinetic energy behind them, pushing them directly out of the atmosphere shrouded in the blue earth. .
There was a "boom", as if the underground fountain finally found its vent, and the dazzling stream of light shot up into the sky against Lei Suo's heels. He definitely didn't want to taste the feeling of being bathed in it.
The shattering light of [Quen's Seal] on Lei Suo's body flashed away, and was shattered by a long-distance shock wave from Lan En.
But fortunately, the experienced leader of the Snake Faction adjusted his posture in mid-air, rolled decisively on the ground to remove the impact, and glanced in Lan's direction with lingering fear.
When he turned around, he saw the gatekeeper waving the shovel again and turning into a black shadow and rushing towards him again.
Only this time, Kyaane had raised the Cat Faction's crossbow behind the gatekeeper.
With a "puff" sound, the magic-blocking golden arrow accurately penetrated the gatekeeper's neck, causing his movements to suddenly stop.
But Lann noticed that the light around the other party was still undiminished. Obviously, the attack method of this faint blue light is not driven by chaotic energy, and it is not magic in their traditional understanding.
The monsters in the manor were all summoned from another world by Olgierd using black magic. It can be explained that the magic-blocking gold in this world does not work on them.
Just as Lan was thinking this, the gatekeeper in front of him shook violently twice and fell to his knees. It seems that although its body structure is different from that of normal creatures, it is by no means immortal and can be injured.
Everyone who was fighting closely with the gatekeeper was overjoyed to see this. The Snake Faction's silver sword was still stuck in the enemy's body. Everyone in the Snake Faction immediately drew out their silver-plated daggers and was about to attack again, but they saw the gatekeeper's feet once again cracked open with blue light shining through.
The bodies of the demon hunters suddenly froze. After the previous demonstration of the underground fountain, it was naturally impossible for them to rush up again at this time.
Kian raised the crossbow in his hand again, while the four Snake Faction members took out four bombs from the alchemy backpack.
Two [Honeycombs], one [Dancing Star], and one [Dragon Dream]. All came from the generous sponsorship of Eternal Fire. Normally, the four members of the Snake Faction would never be so decisive.
With a "boom", the suddenly expanding flames immediately enveloped the gatekeeper. The demon hunters narrowed their eyes slightly, and from time to time they could hear the sound of iron nails scattered from the [Honeycomb] digging into their flesh.
If it were them, there would be absolutely no chance of survival at this time. Even if it were other monsters such as the deer-headed spirit, they would be half-dead under this set of tactics.
But the demon hunters still dare not relax. Because the badges on their necks began to vibrate again.
I don't know when, but the white mist around them turned black.
Lan En felt something in his heart. He looked at his feet and found that the black mist was constantly seeping out from the ground.
The flames and smoke slowly dissipated, and the gatekeeper appeared on the spot wearing tattered clothes. His body was covered with burns and cuts, and his flesh and blood were turned and hideous.
Kian frowned: "Lan, was I so ugly when I was first rescued by you?"
Lan glanced at the cat-sect witcher who spoke at inappropriate times: "I'm very happy that you are now I can joke about my former self, but now our troubles have not been solved."
The black mist gradually condensed, and actually turned into ghost-like figures, thin and staggering.
Looking at the doorman again, he actually pulled out the magic-blocking golden arrow stuck in his neck and threw it aside, then swayed towards the black figures and rushed towards them.
"It is indeed injured and its skills have slowed down, but these black shadows... are [summoning magic]?" The
snake sect demon hunter looked at these black shadows that could not walk easily, and was surprised that the other party actually summoned such a person without fighting ability. helper.
"No!" Lann shouted, "This is another kind of black magic. This monster can recover its own injuries by killing these black shadows. We have to kill these black shadows before it does!" "It needs to use this method
. Coming to recover means that it has been seriously injured and it is almost dead!"
Upon hearing this, all the demon hunters couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately spread out to look for the black shadow to solve. Lann and Leisuo came to the gatekeeper again, using special seals and extraordinary power to delay the gatekeeper and cause damage.
Those black shadows faltered and were quickly eliminated without any resistance by the demon hunters who were proficient in killing. The gatekeeper was seriously injured and soon fell into a hard fight after being familiar with the attack routine.
When the other demon hunters freed up their hands again, six people surrounded him, and finally the gatekeeper fell to his knees amid a roar.
All the wounds on its body glowed green at this time, and then a thick black smoke floated out from his body. The black smoke seemed to represent its life, and when it all dissipated, it became completely motionless.
Everyone gasped and cautiously approached the gatekeeper to confirm that the other person had indeed lost the ability to fight.
"There are no eyes, no nostrils, no vital points, but it is made of flesh and blood. How can such a thing really exist?"
Kian frowned. He contributed the least in the task just now, because the monster in front of him was simply He is an assassin like Tian Ke who pursues a one-hit kill.
Not only him, this kind of fighting is also at a loss for the Snake Faction, which is proficient in using poison. Only Lan can fight smoothly, relying on the fully automatic [Arden's Seal] to be like a duck to water.
However, after savoring the details of the battle for a while, Kolgrim sighed: "He is physically strong and proficient in close combat, and at the same time has magical abilities that are perfectly integrated with the combat system. This kind of power...could it be possible that Arzu created the hunter in the first place?" Where is the power you pursued when you were a demon?"
Letho slapped Kolgrim hard on the back of the head: "Don't think about these things, check if there are any injuries, and rest where you are."
Then he turned to Lann: "This type of monster Are there more in the manor?"
Lann thought for a while and replied: "There are similar harmless monsters, and then there is also a demon spirit that should be able to travel through the painting. But it should be the strongest among all the monsters. ."
Leisuo glanced at the interior of the manor with an expressionless expression: "I have been a demon hunter for so long, but I have never seen these monsters before. I didn't expect to be able to see them all at once today. It's a pity that they [Calling Magic] None of the products can be used as alchemy materials."
The monsters summoned by [Summoning Magic] are all possessed. For example, the black mist that just escaped from the body of [Gatekeeper] is actually the original body. Therefore, it is rare to get any good harvest from the corpses of these prey. For a demon hunter, it is not as good as a ghoul or a water ghost.
Lan En looked at the janitor's shovel on the ground: "This is not certain."
Everyone followed Lan's line of sight and showed strange eyes. Lei Suo thought: "Judging from the feeling of the battle just now, this The material of the shovel is indeed high-quality, but as our weapon..."
Lann shook his head: "As far as I know, it is also a magic weapon, just like my Sword of the Lake Lady. This shovel has The ability to recover one's own injuries after attacking the enemy."
Such a magical ability made the demon hunters' eyes suddenly light up.
"But why didn't it work during the battle just now?"
"It's probably because the triggering mechanism of this enchantment is still limited." Lann thought for a while and said, "It may be necessary to actually cause flesh and blood damage to the enemy, and we just They are all carried by the magic seal, without giving the enemy a chance. You have to experiment carefully before you can figure out how to use this weapon."
This kind of magic weapon that can restore one's own injuries is unheard of. Kyaan is very interested in this, and this effect is best suited for someone with his style of play.
But looking at the shape and weight of this shovel, it is estimated that only Leisuo among the people present can swing it.
"But the experiment is not urgent." Lann turned to look at the flowers and easel not far away, as well as the black cat and black dog under the easel. "We still have some enemies to deal with." Those two are obviously not mortal
. The livestock had been squatting quietly to watch the people hunting the gatekeeper, and they had not left until now.
They are obviously just cats and dogs, but everyone can actually see the indifference in their eyes like kerosene lamps, and even a sense of displeasure at being looked down upon.
Kolgrim raised his chin: "They have been watching us there just now."
Oaks thought: "They are definitely not ordinary cats and dogs."
Seret glanced at his partner: "You can tell this just by looking at it. Can you tell?"
Kiyaen took a deep breath and his eyes lit up: "I think they come from the same place as the one who is dying on the ground."
Everyone looked at Kiyaen and then at the ground. The caretaker looked back at the cat and dog, only to find that they were suddenly gone.
"'Death' and 'life' are defined differently in different places. The controversy is especially fierce in the field of philosophy."
A cold female voice sounded from behind. Everyone turned around and saw the black cat and black dog. Appeared behind him.
At this moment, the black cat's mouth opened and closed, uttering the woman's voice they just heard: "The janitor is not considered 'dead' now. Perhaps he desires this kind of life more than the 'life' defined by you." Condition."
This vision of animals speaking human words immediately caused everyone to turn their swords and point at the black cat and black dog.
However, Lan could see that they had no intention of attacking, and asked proactively: "You seem to know it very well, and you also know this house very well. Why don't you introduce yourself?" The
cat closed its mouth, and the dog started talking. This time it was a deep man's voice: "We are friends of this house, friends summoned by the male owner of this manor to accompany the female owner." Kiyaen raised his eyebrows and looked at the female voice
's cat , and then looked at the male voice's dog again, with interest on his face.
The four snake sect demon hunters remained silent and remained vigilant, while Lan continued to communicate with the cats and dogs.
"We are bringing the master here to find the mistress. If possible, I want you to help lead the way - after all, this manor is too big." The black cat looked at
Lann, tilted his neck, and seemed confused: "You brought Olgierd Everec here? But I didn't see him, nor did I sense him."
The black dog sniffed: "But you do have his scent on you."
Lann shrugged He shrugged: "The male master is very shy and guilty. He is only willing to come out when he sees the female master."
The cat and the dog looked at each other, then glanced at Lann, and suddenly their bodies exploded into a black mist and dissipated into the air. , and then condensed and formed again about fifty meters away.
He seemed to be gesturing to Lan to follow him.
"Do you believe them?" Leisuo stood beside Lan and reminded him in a low voice.
Lann nodded: "They have their own demands and will be our friends."
Leisuo's expressionless face finally began to frown: "I wanted to ask you before. All this information was told to you by Olgierd. "?"
Lann thought for a while: "This is the power of ancient blood."
Lei Suo took a deep breath and said frankly: "I don't like this feeling. When I'm with you, I don't seem to need to think anymore. I have all the information I need. But the most important thing for a witcher is to collect information and prepare before the battle. In other words - the more times I fight with you, the weaker I may become." Letso's
worry Lann was stunned. Is it wrong to make the battle easier?
But if you think about it deeply, it is actually not difficult to understand. Having to live in the open air for a long time after losing the school's base makes the people of the Snake Sect particularly insecure. This is why they have a particularly strong desire to control the situation, and their desire to maintain their own abilities is also very pathological. .
Lann thought for a while and smiled: "In the face of a war, wouldn't the more complete the intelligence, the better? Normally, I would take on more demon hunting missions to maintain my own condition. And my intelligence is not perfect, so I need more My companions are by my side to help me check for mistakes and fill them in, and even help me regain my vigilance when I am careless due to my own strength." "
So Lei Suo, you shouldn't stop using your brain, but you should change your way of thinking."
Lei Suo . Suo frowned and thought for a while, then reluctantly nodded.
As soon as Lan reached out and put the gatekeeper's shovel into the [Inventory], he led everyone in the direction pointed by the cat and dog.
The Everrick family manor was astonishingly large. Lan and his party passed through an arch bridge and opened two iron gates before finally completely passing through the manor's garden and arriving at the main courtyard of the manor.
Pushing open the door, the aging wood made a creaking sound. The sky was already covered with dark clouds, and the building had no windows, so it was completely dark inside.
It's just that this kind of darkness can't help the demon hunter.
Six pairs of eyes of different colors sparkle.
"Ogield should be only in her thirties, right? Her wife will only be younger than him...maybe more than twenty? I don't believe that a young lady in her twenties would live in a place like this..."
Keyan Looking at the interior of the manor building, I didn't know whether it was disappointment or something else.
The room in front of me seemed to have been ransacked by robbers. There were collapsed tables and chairs everywhere, and even broken beams.
As people entered the house, the dust above their heads was shaken from time to time, and flowed down from the upstairs like a series of small waterfalls.
Kolgrim said what everyone was thinking: "This house won't collapse soon."
Just as everyone was observing the surroundings, two small groups of black mist condensed again. However, because it was too dark inside the room, the cat and dog appeared this time as if they teleported out.
"The mistress is in the bedroom. You can see her through the gallery on the second floor."
"She actually really lives here?" Kian raised an eyebrow, "There is a gallery, which means she likes painting. , That's... wrong!"
The red light in Keyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly looked up at a painting on the wall. The painting was a portrait of a woman, a portrait of a beautiful woman.
A voice suddenly came from the painting:
"Who... came in?"
The voice was hoarse, ethereal, and had a strange echo. The witcher's badge started shaking again for an unknown number of times today.
Then, a pair of dry hands grabbed the frame. A green flame began to burn faintly, but the canvas inside was intact.
A black veil was exposed from the bottom of the frame under the reflection of the flames, but as if sensing that there were too many people in the room, the veil and hands quickly disappeared, and the green fire was extinguished again.
"Demon spirit?"
The scene just now exposed a lot of information. Leisuo immediately frowned and began to analyze:
"The demon summoned by black magic needs to possess a physical body, and will not appear in the form of a spirit body like just now, so that is A demon spirit. And is it a demon spirit with special abilities that can travel through the painting?"
Then the snake sect demon hunter glanced at the cats and dogs on the ground again: "Demon spirits are transformed after death, and Olgierd He also summoned a demon to prevent outsiders from entering the manor. Theoretically, there can only be one woman in the manor, so this demon... is the mistress you are looking for, Lan?" Lan nodded: "Yes, it looks
like She is indeed dead."
Leisuo's expression became more and more ridiculous: "So you came all the way to this manor just to get rid of this demon spirit? I thought you were here to completely solve the problem of Olgierd!"
Lan nodded again: "I really want to solve the problem completely, and we don't have to kill this demon spirit - on the contrary, she will help us, but there will be some twists and turns." With that said,
Lan Suddenly, the jade statue Olgierd transformed into was taken out from the [Inventory].
Completely ignoring that he might be attacked, he walked up to the portrait of Alice without warning and said loudly: "Madam, your husband is back." Then he turned towards the stairs, as if to use his high voice
to The shout spread to every corner of the room: "Alice, Olgierd is back!"
He held up the jade statue of Olgierd high, and this handicraft-like thing dimmed in the darkness.
The room was quiet for a while.
With a "bang", a piece of wood that broke from the roof hit Lann's feet. He turned around lightly, and a small waterfall of dust covered the place where he just stood.
Keyan suddenly felt that the feeling of being surrounded by demons all the time disappeared.
The cat and dog looked at the jade statue in Lan's hand intently. Now they felt the breath of their summoner: "This is the magic of the warlock. Is this how you brought Olgierd back? But you brought him back before?" Where is it hidden? Why can't we feel it?"
Lann did not answer the cat and dog's questions, but observed the surroundings for a while. He also has the talent of [Psychic Medium], and at this moment he can confirm that Alice's soul is far away from everyone. After thinking about it, he suddenly put his hand on Alice's portrait and put the painting into the [Inventory].
After doing all this, he said to the cat and dog:
"This is not your concern, take us to the bedroom to find Alice."
Everyone went upstairs through the stairs that seemed to collapse at any time, and passed through There was a long corridor filled with various paintings. The four members of the Snake Sect were always vigilant that demon spirits would come out of the paintings, but in fact, the journey was uneventful.
Keyan started to comment on a painting, which showed a couple, and it turned out to be Alice and Olgierd.
"Every happy family is the same, and every unhappy family is different."
As if he felt that he had said something very philosophical, Keyan nodded, took down the painting, and moved it up to Lei Suo. Look:
"Look at the Olgierd above. Is it completely different from the one now?"
Leisuo, who was on guard, glanced at him without even looking at the painting: "It's indeed different."
He said perfunctorily. Kian, Leisuo thought secretly: Was this cat like this before, or did it become like this after being captured and experimented, or did it become like this after being rescued by Lan?
Regardless of the mental activities of several people, after walking through the corridor, a locked door appeared in front of them. This couldn't stop the witcher at all, Lan kicked him away with a little force.
Suddenly everyone's eyes lit up. This was the only place with light in the whole house.
A woman was lying on the bed with her back to them. The stove behind her was burning slowly to provide warmth for the people in the room. She seemed very considerate and worried that the sleeping woman would catch a cold.
But inside the house, there were overturned tables and broken bookshelves, and there were cobwebs and dust everywhere. If it hadn't been cleaned for several years, it would definitely not be like this.
A young man and five big men gathered around the bed, looking at the target of their group's trip - Olgierd's wife Alice.
At this moment, she has become a skeleton wearing black mourning clothes.
Kian looked at the painting, then looked at Alice, then turned around and threw the painting aside: "You lit the fireplace for her, guarded the home and nursery to prevent outsiders from harming her, but now you even lost her Are you unwilling to bury the body?"
The dog let out a bass voice: "Our current bodies cannot do such a thing, and the gatekeeper you just met was ordered not to get close to him."
Keyan looked at the dog's paws and agreed. Nod.
Lei Suo carefully observed the body and asked: "She had no external injuries, and the chaos in the room was not a sign of a fight. How did she die?" Black Cat gave an answer that was expected by everyone: "
Her My heart is broken."
Leisuo was stunned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence: "You mean heart disease?"
Black Dog said in a tone without any emotion: "No, it's literally broken. Ai Li Si is also immortal like Olgierd, and it is difficult for me to understand this situation." The black cat
fogged up by the window and condensed its body on the bed. It sat next to the hostess and described the scene when she died:
"While the caretaker was guarding her, he was also helping the master imprison her. She couldn't leave the manor, and she couldn't hear our voices like you. So she was always sad and lonely. One day Alice locked the front door, Lying on the bed, and then... died peacefully. Just like a rose that withered after its blooming season." The black dog
walked forward and sat in front of Lan: "You turned Olgierd into a statue and took him with you. Come back, now you have also seen Alice's body, what will you do next, bury them together?"
Lann raised his eyebrows: "Are you concerned?"
Black Dog nodded: "We were summoned by Olgierd So far, it's just to protect Alice. Now Alice has passed away and even turned into an irrational evil spirit, but we are trapped here because of this." The black cat also atomized in front of
Lan and said: "Either kill Ou Gilder, either let Alice's soul be freed, or we will remain in our current form forever." "
You hate the way you are now?"
Black Cat and Black Dog gestured to their small bodies, and it was their first time together. He said: "What do you think?"
Lann thought for a while and said: "My purpose is also to kill Olgierd, but since you were summoned by him, you must know that he is immortal in the true sense. I have a way to break his immortality, but I have to see the real Alice, so I need your help."
Having said this, Lann looked at Kiyaan.
Unlike Lann, who had a short career as a demon hunter and knew very little about the methods of summoning spirits, Keyan can be said to be very familiar with it.
"Now that the mistress has turned into a demon spirit, things are easier. She is hiding from us now. We just need to bury her body in a peaceful place and add a spell." The black cat
said He shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. The demon spirit you saw is just a part of Alice. The real her is still sleeping. You need to wake up the real her." "How to do it?" "Use the drawing board as a material to summon the demon
spirit
. , and then she will lead you to the place where Alice really sleeps." The black cat looked at the painting of Olgierd and Alice, "That one is very suitable." Kyan looked at the painting that he left
aside painting, and smiled: "Good boy."
As he said that, the cat-sect witcher actually reached out and wanted to touch the black cat. As a result, naturally you can only touch a piece of smoke.
.........
In the garden of the manor, there is a row of short and simple graves. They are simply piled with stones and then erected with a scrawled wooden stake on top. There was still blood around the tomb, and it seemed that the person who buried the body was rough.
"Those are the people who invaded the manor." Black Cat took the initiative to explain. "The gatekeeper killed them and buried them here." Keyan said in a teasing tone:
"After killing the intruders, he piled graves for them. Is that weird? That weirdo is unusually gentle."
The black cat didn't pay attention to him at all. It turned into smoke and condensed on Lan's shoulder: "In front is the 'calm place', where Alice often draws." Lan looked at
it In front of you is a dusty and worn easel.
After a while, another simple grave was piled up in front of the easel, and Alice was finally laid to rest.
Keyan sat on his knees in front of the tomb, with only the whites of his pupils left. He spread his arms to make his body appear in the shape of an inverse cross, and murmured in a low voice: "O tortured
