Seeing the ID of MI6, the old man inside the door immediately showed a frightened expression. Shade pushed him hard, causing the old man to stumble back a step, and he walked in the door.
He closed the door behind him with a bang and raised his right hand to press his hat. Shade stood in the shadow of the foyer. He was much taller than the old man, and now he showed an oppressive temperament.
:
"If there's no problem, don't bother me in the attic. I'll take my things and leave."
"you you"
The old man held his crutches with both hands and leaned against the wall crookedly. He didn't expect that the young man would barge in like this.
"Any more questions?"
"No, no, no, but you can take his things away, but I won't refund the rent!"
He said in a loud voice, looking frightened but persistent.
"Rent? Do you think I care about this?"
Shade smiled deliberately, then ignored the old man behind him and walked up the creaking stairs.
He is very satisfied with his acting skills.
Flamel complained about the landlord of this house in his diary. This is a typical person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When Flamel came to rent the house, the old man tried to kill him, but the crew revealed that he was even worse and worse.
After showing off his bad character, the landlord immediately offered a relatively fair price.
It is not a good person to be a landlord in such a relatively chaotic dockside neighborhood, with an old man holding his back against the wall and panting heavily. According to Flamel's guess, the other party seems to be using the basement workshop to smuggle contraband from the New World to produce some obscure items.
The medicine of light.
It was really puzzling to do such a thing at such an old age, but Shade didn't want to investigate further for the time being.
Judging from the diary, Le Maire, who successfully took office two years ago, has just entered the second ring this spring. He did not record in his diary the warning measures he set for the attic, but the person he met was not a church ring warlock, nor could he be an academy ring warlock.
, so there shouldn’t be many methods available.
The attic door was locked, and three large locks sealed the door together.
It just so happened that I got a new spell [Key to the Door] from my past adventure last night. This spell can open anything with the concept of a "lock". The actual effect depends on the power of the lock itself and Shade's own strength.
Depends on strength.
After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the top black iron lock. With the power of the spell, the lock popped open with a snap.
"Oh? Does that work?"
Shade looked at his fingers, and then clicked the brass lock in the middle with great anticipation, and the lock automatically opened in response.
"With this kind of ability, if I am the kind of person who doesn't take the right path, I'm afraid there will be a clever thief in Tobesk."
Shade sighed in his heart, chatted with the smiling woman, and finally knocked on the lock on the bottom latch inserted into the floor, but this time he encountered some obstacles. He clearly felt that there was some force hindering the spell.
Fortunately, this obstacle is not strong. After a slight touch, the last lock was opened.
I picked up the rusty iron lock and inspected it, and found that there were imperceptible scratches on the inside of the lock. Strictly speaking, this lock was not an alchemy item. It was just treated with runes so that when the lock was opened violently, the lock would
The head will produce an explosion effect that will blow off a person's hand.
It may work for ordinary people, but for ring warlocks, as long as you pay a little attention, you won't be fooled.
After opening the door, Xia De walked into the attic after waiting for no unusual noises inside.
The entire attic is transparent inside and is considered a large room, as big as two Detective Sparrow's master bedrooms. The interior is dark and filled with common furniture such as wardrobes, bookshelves, tables, and beds. There are some black and white printed colors on the desktop.
There were magazines and a pile of tax receipts on the coffee table. It looked like a boring single man's room, with no suspicious items visible on the surface.
First use [Past Echoes] to listen to the sounds within 48 hours. After confirming that no one has been here recently, look around:
"Can you feel the traces of the relics?"
Turning on the gas lamp, Shade stood by the window, slightly opening the gap in the curtains with his fingers, looking out cautiously, and asked.
[There is a strong whispering element, look to the left.]
On the left is the wardrobe, with some cardboard boxes placed on the top of the wardrobe. The main elements are inside the wardrobe, so Shade put on gloves before reaching out to open the wardrobe door.
Just as he held the handle of the wardrobe, a dark wind that seemed to penetrate deep into the bones immediately blew in the room with the closed doors and windows. Then there were footsteps behind him. Shade turned around and saw a rotting corpse coming towards him.
He rushed towards him, with such a terrifying look, even though he was prepared, it still shocked Xia De.
"Thief!"
In the corroded and open mouth, the bright red gums are clearly visible.
【Hallucination.】
"I know."
When he released the door handle with his palm, Yin Feng and the corpse that came towards him disappeared. When he held the door handle, the corpse and Yin Feng appeared again.
So Shade bent down and studied it, and sure enough he saw the carefully carved runes on the door handle:
"This person is really good at runes, but after all, he has just been promoted to the second level, and his foundation is not solid."
Thinking in his mind, a ray of moonlight flew out of his hand, splitting the closet door handle into two pieces, and then he opened the closet door.
A musty smell came from inside. In the small wardrobe, there were a few men's clothes hanging on the left side, two very cool women's clothes and a white garter belt. I don't know if they were left by technical workers or
Flamel has some special quirks, but they are just ordinary clothes.
There was something covered with red cloth on the right side. Shade reached out to lift the red cloth, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he frowned and took a step back.
Judging from the shape, the shape of this thing was very similar to the mermaid statue covered with cloth that he had seen before.
"I knew I was going to be in trouble."
Shade still doesn't know the specific method of spreading this strange mortal curse, but not contacting the source of the curse is definitely the best way to resist the curse.
So I didn't care if there were other valuable things in the closet. I found a poker from the side and closed the closet door very carefully. I looked at the closet door and waited for half a minute, but nothing happened.
Feel a little relieved. Even if there are tens of thousands of pounds in cash in the closet, Shade will never open the door again.
After that, the search continued, but unfortunately, there was only one [relic] in the wardrobe in the attic. In addition to the relic, after carefully searching the room, Shade also found 23 gold pounds and 7 kronor in cash. The kronor is a card
Senrik's currency, sailors who are active at sea and in the New World all year round do need to hold foreign coins.
The coins were just a small harvest. The most important harvest was actually an old book "The Windy Abyss" related to the "Wind" Spirit Rune, as well as Flamel's notes and letters from the Ring Warlock.
Any ring warlock must be related to an organization. The harsh employment conditions and complex power system determine that there is no single ring warlock. Judging from those letters, the opportunity for Flamel to become a ring warlock was two years ago.
When his talent awakened, he met a traveler who was traveling to the New World by boat, and thus embarked on the path of a ring warlock.
The name of the organization they belong to is "Sea Breeze Club". Shade has never heard of this name. Judging from the knowledge recorded in Flamel's notebook and his usual exchanges with friends, these should be the kind of ring warlocks.
The small club formed together may be slightly stronger than Dr. Schneider's five-person group.
In addition to his own experience, the information left by Flamel also described what happened after he realized he was cursed.
The curse was discovered three months after I got the statue from the warehouse dispatcher. I thought of the mermaid statue due to a strange dream, and after understanding that this was the source of the curse, the slow Flamel finally realized it.
It is a relic.
He wrote to the club asking for help. After describing what happened to him, the club immediately cut off all contact with him. Later, like the dispatcher who had been shot and killed by Shade, Le Maire also knew that with what he had done
Judging from the situation, if you go to the church for help, you will definitely die, so I hope to find a way to lift the curse through my own research.
Although he died in the end because of the curse, strictly speaking, this low-level warlock who was abandoned by the organization did discover something.
