The word "Scholar of Original Sin" is not a Delarian language. Shade reacted for a moment before he could barely understand the meaning:
“What is a Scholar of Original Sin?”
"Then you are not."
The strange old man shook his head and led Shade back to the foyer:
"Your sins are high enough to go to the highest floor. Guest, please come with me and you will get what you want."
After saying that, he stopped talking to Shade and walked back to the direction of the stairs. Shade immediately followed him. If there is no guide in the [Sin Mansion] and you just walk around casually, you will be easily attacked by the things that live here.
The interior decoration style of this building is quite uniform, somewhat similar to what those old aristocratic houses looked like after they were installed with gas pipes. The golden decorations on the stairs and the oil paintings on the cracked walls all show the grandeur of when this place was still an ordinary house.
The red carpet on the ground made Shade feel strongly uneasy. Because during the observation of [Echo of Blood], there was a red halo almost everywhere on this carpet, which meant that this carpet almost
It can be regarded as dyed with blood.
Not long after, they arrived at the third floor. Corridors extended from the stairs to the left and right. There were windows on one side of the corridor and rooms on the other side. There were rusty yellow metal door numbers on each door, but those door numbers were empty.
Nothing.
But before the old man with the lantern could lead Shade to choose a direction to turn, the ground suddenly shook.
"earthquake?"
It was not a very strong vibration, and it did not even affect standing firm on the ground. However, as the building itself shook, Shade heard what seemed to be an explosion sound coming from the second floor. At the same time, among the terrifying portraits on the wall, human faces
They all looked down in unison, it seemed that something was wrong downstairs.
"What's going on? Is there another earthquake in Mount Sikar? Or is there an accident in this house?"
[New changes have occurred in the Sin Mansion. While the ground is shaking, the malice here has deepened. 】
"This way."
The old man holding the lantern did not pay attention to the strange vibration, and Shade's inquiry did not receive an answer.
He led Shade to the left, opened the third door and motioned for him to enter and wait:
"The traders from the mansion will be here soon. Please wait a moment, guest."
When Shade walked in, the door was closed by the hunched old man.
Shade observed the room. It was a large bedroom with a four-poster bed hung with pink curtains and tulle, a desk, a wardrobe and other antique-looking furniture. There were even two rooms on one side.
A small door leads to the bathroom and cloakroom. Shade has seen similar room structures in Miss Carina's manor and the Aurora mansion in Coldwater Port.
The room was still dark, with only the gas table lamp on the desk on. The shape of the gas lamp was quite classical, completely different from the popular style of 1853. Shade did not go to the desk, but turned around and held the door handle. After testing it, he found that the door was open.
The door is locked, but if he uses the [Door Key] to open it, it can be opened.
"The next step is to wait. Judging from the experience of the ring wizards who have walked out of here in the past, a trader will ask me what I want to get from the mansion after a while. And among the middle options in the list that should not be paid attention to, there is the option of increasing one's own sins.
The price, the option to get out of here.”
Thinking in his mind, he walked towards the desk. There was a piece of white paper upside down on the table under the desk lamp. Xia De was stunned. When he entered here just now, there seemed to be nothing under the desk lamp.
My eyes have caught the mark on the paper, which uses very thin pencil lines to outline a long-haired woman sitting in a rocking chair.
The woman's body occupies less than one-fifth of the area of the paper, but her hair occupies almost one-third of the paper. Because it is only outlined with simple lines, the woman's face only has simple facial features.
, when Shade looked at that face, that face actually laughed.
"Um?"
A sense of fatal crisis made Shade subconsciously raise the sword in his hand. This time, he reacted faster than the sword in his hand.
Bang!
The end of the jet-black long hair actually shot out from the painting, trying to penetrate Shade's forehead like an arrow, but was blocked by the blade of the Night Watchman's sword.
"No, doesn't the information say that the current stage is completely safe? But I haven't done anything illegal!"
Thinking in his mind, he pierced the air with his left hand, pulled out the bright yellow long sword, and cut off the long black hair that wanted to wrap up the night watchman with a swing of his hand. Compared with the big sword, this kind of long sword is more suitable for making
Such actions.
Shade quickly retreated while squinting his eyes at the piece of paper:
"Start the fire!"
Basic spells can ignite fire. As Shade's Ring Warlock level increases, it can no longer just make the pages smoke. What's more, because of the improvement of Shade's strength through [Sin Mansion] and drinking at the God's Wine Party.
The elemental wine poured down greatly enhanced the power of the spell, so the piece of paper with the whispering element was instantly ignited.
But as black smoke billowed out, a withered blue hand actually stretched out from the page:
"This is obviously not the normal transaction process of [Sin Mansion]. What is going on? Is the relic out of control?"
The chain protruded from Shade's right sleeve and wrapped around the hilt of the sword in his hand. The [Night Watch] shook violently, as if disgusted with the [Sin Chain], but did not break free in the end.
"Ah!"
He threw the silver sword suddenly, and the blade accurately pierced the palm of the hand that stretched out from the page.
A high-pitched wail almost pierced Shade's eardrums. Black ink flowed out of the cyan hands, and the gushing ink even extinguished the burning page.
The hand suddenly broke away from the sword blade, and the white paper with the black edges pulled out swung violently while flying high into the sky. As the page trembled violently, long black hair surged out from the page like a river.
"Although I like girls with long black hair, it's obviously not like this."
Pulling the Sin Chain to retract the long sword, he quickly retreated to the wall to avoid the squirming long hair that had fallen to the ground. This is an entity. It is difficult to cause much damage with the burst of moonlight, and the other moonlight series that Shade currently masters
Thaumaturgy doesn't have the damage ability of large atmosphere, so——
The whistle roared and the bells rang. In the raging steam mist, a corner of the life ring was revealed, and the [Witch's Light] spiritual rune flashed with brass aura:
"Feliana's Witch's Light!"
He stretched out the fingers of his right hand forward, and the golden light illuminated the turbulent black hair in a manner that melted everything. As the black smoke continued to rise, the hair quickly disappeared.
At the same time, Shade raised his left hand and drew the light of the silver moon towards the paper in the sky. The moonlight cut off the hair wrapped around the paper and disappeared, but then the [Night Watch] was thrown out again.
But this time, the sword blade completely penetrated the paper.
There was another piercing scream. At the same time that Shade had tinnitus and a headache, the paper exploded into pieces and the black hair disappeared. After the sword fell to the floor, the place became quiet again.
The chain contracted on the ground and made a clattering sound. The sword hilt retracted into Shade's sleeve along with the chain, and was held by Shade again.
He vigilantly observed all parts of the room to prevent other attacks, but there were no other abnormal phenomena in the room.
Only the pieces of paper that were spontaneously burning on the ground proved that something had indeed attacked Shade just now.
