"The study of the master of the castle should be near here." Jita whispered. She suddenly stopped and looked ahead in a daze. Fang Plov noticed something unusual about Jita and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Have you seen it, Brother Ed, Miss Tata?" Jita's eyes stayed at the dark end of the corridor ahead, and she asked a little uncertainly.
"what did you see?"
"One, a white shadow..." Jita said tremblingly.
"White shadow, ghost?"
"Ai, brother Ed..."
"Sorry, it's just a joke." Fang Yu smiled and walked in front of her. After making the angel stop, he moved his right hand slightly, and a clockwork fairy flew out from behind the two of them and flew in that direction.
In the darkness, there was a wall at the end of the corridor, but what was a bit puzzling was that there was a window on the stone wall. Fang was stunned for a moment. Windows in buildings were really rare, especially in this era of Aitaria.
among the castle buildings.
He tried to let the clockwork goblin go through the window, but what was even more strange was that after passing through the window, a corridor emerged from the darkness.
It was as if this corridor was divided into two by this stone wall with a window. They were located in the front half of the corridor, and behind the window was the second half of the corridor.
For the first time, Fang Plover felt a little chilly. The structure of this building was too weird. He controlled the clockwork fairy and turned around, only to find that there was no other exit inside.
In other words, the only way to enter the second half of this corridor is through the window. Fang Pulver felt a slight chill in his back for a while, and simply couldn't understand the reason for this setting.
He just told the two of them what he had discovered. Jita's face couldn't help but turn paler after hearing this. Such weird buildings always make people think of something bad.
Only Miss Tata looked calm. "In some local legends, vampires cannot enter windows."
Jita was so frightened that she grabbed Fang Plover's coat.
Fang Plover took a breath. He was not afraid of vampires, but the feeling was completely different in a place like this. Fighting face to face with ten vampires would probably be better than staying in this depressing place.
To be honest, the ghosts and ghosts on Earth are nothing more than undead creatures here. Even ghosts are not uncommon in Aitalia, and they are seen more often in Dolifen.
But these things lurk in the darkness, and the pressure they put on people is completely different.
However, Fang Yu did not panic. He knew that once he showed his timidity, Jita would be even more nervous. He suppressed the anxiety from his heart, comforted Jita, and then led the two of them to the window.
This place is so unusual that it's worth exploring.
He gently moved the metal glove and controlled the clockwork fairy to explore inside again before turning back. "Jita, I plan to go in and have a look. Do you want to stay here or come with me? If you stay here,
I asked Miss Tata to stay with you."
"I, I'm with you, brother Ed." Jita said with a crying voice.
Fang Yu nodded and said warmly: "Don't forget that you are also a chosen one. Don't be too afraid. You are not without the ability to fight against these monsters."
Jita took a gentle breath. She was not afraid of fighting. Most of human fears were unfounded and only related to the memories of ancestors deep in the bloodline.
She held the sword in both hands and took a step forward, but Fang Plover stopped her. "Don't worry," he whispered. "There may be a trap here."
When it comes to forming an adventure group, the latter may be a naive kid.
But in terms of castle exploration, he is definitely an experienced 'master', well, at least a master in theory. This place is so unusual and has only one entrance. Generally speaking, most of them will be set up in a place like this.
Mechanism, or there will be puppets ambushing you behind.
Fang Yu didn't find the puppet structure, so there must be a trap.
There were square bricks that had collapsed from the ceiling everywhere in the corridor. He picked up one at random and threw it in, but there was no reaction. Fang Plover was not in a hurry, so he picked up a few more bricks and threw them in one by one. Waiting for the third one to be thrown in
When it came to a block, it seemed as if something had been hit. There was a "click" sound, and a burst of dust fell from inside.
Jita looked at the captain curiously
Fang Yu was a little embarrassed. "Maybe it was in disrepair for a long time." He asked the clockwork fairy to fly up and check it. Only then did he realize that what he said was true. A row of dark holes were exposed where the dust was.
There must have been a row of crossbows at the back, but it was possible that the mechanism was rusty, or that traps had been triggered many times before and the crossbows' ammunition was exhausted, resulting in no normal attacks.
He explained this matter to the two of them, and both Jita and Tata nodded. "Can we go in now?" Jita asked in a low voice.
But Fang Yu shook his head.
Generally speaking, the agencies stop here. But there are some agencies that specialize in guarding against 'professionals' and may take advantage of these people's inertial thinking. He had read a book before, and the protagonist in it gave such a confident look
The trap is set.
He looked behind the window and threw a square brick down. There was a "click" sound, and the ground there suddenly sank, revealing a dark hole.
Sure enough
He raised the crystal lamp and looked down. A steel thorn at the bottom of the cave shone with a faint cold light, and there were dark blood stains on it, but there were no bones. Presumably, those unlucky guys all went to the Aimea Temple to be resurrected.
Naturally, Jita also saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Ed is so awesome."
Fang Yu was actually a little excited. Many of his theoretical experiences were only on paper. This was the first time that he could use them. While fighting all the way underground in Fenris, he had no time to test these small details.
But now, this knowledge comes in handy.
There were no other traps in the second half of the corridor, so Fang Plover took Jita into it. The inside was not too big, and there were five rooms scattered in the darkness along the corridor. He opened the wooden doors one by one, and the four rooms in front were all furnished.
They are exactly the same, with a bed, a bookcase, and a desk. It seems to be a guest room in a castle.
It's just lifeless and the atmosphere is weird.
Fang Plover didn't realize something was wrong until he opened the last door. I don't know how many adventurers have been to this place over the years. How could the furnishings in these rooms be so neat?
Besides being covered with dust and cobwebs, it didn't look decayed at all.
He subconsciously wanted to turn back to check, but in the corner of his eye, he saw a white shadow flashing. Fang Plov suddenly turned his head back and shouted in that direction: "Who is it!?"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and shot out the 'Rocket Flying Fist'. The metal glove flew into the darkness with a 'bang' sound as if it had penetrated something. Fang Yu took Jita over to take a look, only to find that he had penetrated something.
It's a wooden door at the end of the corridor.
But where is the white shadow?
"What's wrong, brother Ed?" Jita grabbed his coat with one hand and asked softly.
"It's nothing." Fang Yu shook his head.
He glanced at the wooden door that had a hole punched through it, thought for a moment, and turned the door handle. The feeling of this door handle was completely different from the previous doors, as if the internal mechanism was rusted together.
This was a normal phenomenon, but there was something abnormal here. This abnormality made Fang Yu couldn't help but become curious. He used a little force on his hand, but the situation was very real. The door handle actually broke off with a 'click'.
Fang Yu was speechless for a moment while holding the door handle. He could only throw it away, then took a step back and slammed the door hard. The door was already rotten, and it collapsed back, breaking into pieces of wood and falling down.
As soon as he took a step through the door, he felt a strong wind blowing towards him.
But Fang Yu was actually prepared. He blocked it with his hand, and a copper-colored long-handled ax came from the darkness and hit the metal glove on his right hand. The huge force knocked off more than 70 points of his balance.
The blocking value was cleared instantly, but Fang Plover also blocked the long ax at the same time.
He stepped back slightly, and at the same time, he shot out a flying claw with his left hand, along the path of the long ax, and hit something in the darkness with a "blank" sound. A gray number rose in the darkness, and Fang Plover had no time to see the number clearly.
What is it, but the gray number represents the block or the structure's health value. This blow does not seem like a block, which made him realize that the person coming might not be a living thing.
After being hit by him, the thing flew back and hit many things, making a loud crashing sound.
From behind, Jita chased in with a sword in one hand and a crystal in the other. When the cold light of the crystal shone, Fang Plover could see clearly that what was knocked away by him in the darkness was a pair of armor. He was holding a halberd in both hands and fell to the ground.
Between a collapsed desk.
Revitalized armor in disrepair.
The system also gave such a name, and the following level was also marked: lv13.
Identifying monsters in Etalia is a dynamic process. The system will analyze the knowledge possessed by the selector, and at the same time accept the feedback of the selector's own judgment and make corrections.
Fang Plover has rich theoretical knowledge and has a great advantage in this aspect, but this activated armor is of a lower level than him. After all, experience does not play a big role in judging the level of monsters.
The latter was standing up unsteadily.
But at this time, the capable angel also dodged and stood in front of Fang Plover. He used his sword to fly the long ax in the hand of the activated armor, and then stabbed the gap under its left shoulder plate with his sword. The activated armor staggered and took a step back.
Fang Yu saw the right opportunity and thought about it. The capable angel pulled back the wrist blade and took a step forward. He raised his right leg and swept the slender bladed foot between the head and chest of the activated armor. With a "clang", the latter's helmet rolled down.
.
But without its head, the Activated Armor still rushed forward crookedly. After the Archangel drew back his feet, he pierced its chest with a backhand sword, and then cut off its left arm with another sword.
Then she bumped sideways, knocking it to the ground, and the parts scattered all over the room with a clang. Under Fang Plover's order, the Angel of Energy turned its double blades again, thrust them down, and nailed the activated armor to the ground.
Even so, the latter still struggled for a while, and finally made a "clucking" sound, as if the internal gears were stuck, and finally stopped.
Fang Plover also let out a breath.
He didn't expect to encounter such an old-fashioned structure here.
This thing cannot be said to be a flexible structure, nor is it very intelligent. It is simply a puppet structure. Once activated, it will attack all enemies within sight regardless of friend or foe. The only advantage is that it does not require human control and does not require any advanced materials.
The main core crystal is also cheap enough.
Only then did Fang Plover have time to look at the room.
This is a study room. Unlike the previous rooms, most of the objects inside are very old. The fireplace on one side collapsed, and the tall bookshelves against the two walls have long since fallen apart, and the books on them are scattered all over the floor.
Fang Yu picked up a book and turned it over with his hands. The papers had already been carbonized and turned into black powder.
He put down the remaining cover and looked in other directions. This study was very strange. Behind the crumbling desk in front of him were two curtains hanging in tatters on the ground, covered with insect holes.
Insect shell.
But there is no window behind the curtain, but a stone wall.
He walked over and knocked it. It was heavy and there was no hollow feeling.
The room was not big, and there seemed to be no place for the white ghost to stay. Fang Yu checked the remains of the desk, but there was nothing noteworthy.
He and Jita couldn't help but look at each other, feeling something strange. This place looked weird, but no mechanism could be found.
The two of them looked around the room and discovered that there was something covered by a piece of cloth next to the fireplace. The thing was not small in size, as tall as a person. The curtain was as new as ever, and besides being covered with dust, there were no insect holes.
, nor decayed.
Fang Yu asked Jita to lift the lighting crystal and walked over to lift it. He heard the naturalist lady behind him coughing in a low voice. The room was filled with dust. He fanned it with his hand and raised his head to find that the curtain was actually a giant painting.
painting.
Unlike the tattered frames outside, this painting is well preserved.
Under the dim light of the crystal, the painting is of an innocent aristocratic girl. She is sitting on a chair. The time of painting should be in the afternoon, and the painting is full of warm tones.
The girl is wearing a long black dress, with her knees bent to one side and a veil, but her beautiful face can still be seen. There is a white cat lying in the girl's arms, and her long-gloved right hand is gently touching
Put it on the cat.
The painter of this painting is very skilled, as if he captured the moment when the afternoon sun passed through the house and fixed it in the picture, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.
Fang Yu was in a trance when he saw this painting.
He always felt that he had seen this girl's face somewhere. However, the only similar aristocratic girl he knew was Sylvide, and the girl in the painting was completely different from the Ship Officer Miss. They were absolutely not similar.
It was at this time that Jita let out a light sigh.
"What's wrong?" Fang Plover turned around.
"The cat in the painting," Kitta said in a daze, "is exactly the same as Delise."
Fang Plover turned around again and realized that it was true. The cat in the girl's arms was covered in white fur, with only some black and gray patterns on its head, ears and front paws. Its collar had a thick velvet crown, and it looked majestic.
Linlin, exactly like Ms. Delise.
Fang was stunned for a moment, but the Ithurian forest cat was originally a local breed in this area, and the painting was also distorted, so it seemed not impossible that a cat similar to Delise would appear.
It must have been at least a hundred years since Elmaor Castle was abandoned. The girl in this painting was from unknown time. He couldn't think that Ms. Delis could live for hundreds of years, right?
The two of them were silent for a while, when they suddenly heard a soft 'click' sound behind them.
That voice was so obvious in the silence.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second:
