After destroying the knight golem guarding the underground secret room, Alice wanted to say that it was time to search for loot. However, both Leticia and Neville were very close to Neo Essu.
Turning a blind eye to the wealth accumulated by the family over hundreds of years, they quickly found their way out at the other end of the secret room. It was also a gray-white stone door. After pulling open the copper ring on the door, there was a spiral upward staircase, as if in eternity.
The endless tower cycle.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Alice was so anxious that if she had a real entity, she would have started to show her teeth: "Open the treasure box, open the treasure box! Why don't you guys pick up so many things that have exploded? Turn around and grab something.
Let’s do it!”
She couldn't accept the behavior of ignoring the treasure box and leaving the instance after defeating the BOSS. She thought it was a great insult - not only an insult to the game, but also an insult to herself as a game developer.
Leticia rubbed her red little nose and replied dryly: "There is no time for such things, Alice."
The explosion countdown in the prompt box only has less than three minutes left. I believe that any humanoid creature with normal intelligence can make the correct judgment as to whether loot or life is more important.
"What are you afraid of? The worst thing you can do is to die once!"
Only Alice can't.
Leticia ignored her yelling and walked up the stairs with her grandma. They quickly left the secret room where the Nioesu family used to hide treasures, and quickly put the broken body half kneeling on the ground.
The knight golem was far behind, and its giant shadow was no longer visible when I turned around.
The two of them climbed up the steps faster than they climbed down. Perhaps because they knew that time was tight, they instinctively speeded up their pace. After about half a minute, they arrived at the end of the steps, with a thick layer on top.
The stone slab blocked the way, but there was an iron chain with a copper ring on the wall next to it, which seemed to be able to open a certain mechanism. Leticia tried to pull it, and heard a rumble from inside the stone wall.
There was a muffled sound, followed by the stone slab above the head slowly moving to both sides, allowing the blood-red moonlight from the outside to shine through, illuminating the last set of steps leading to the ground.
Neville walked in front, holding an oil lamp to clear the way, and Leticia followed closely. After leaving the passage, they found themselves in a dark and gloomy cemetery, surrounded by gray and white tombstones, some of which were still intact.
They looked complete, and some had broken, while the other half was buried deep in dense weeds. The two of them walked out of a dilapidated open-air tomb. The thick stone slab that blocked the exit of the secret passage was not a coffin.
The board is the base of the statue guarding the tomb, but the statue on it has disappeared and was thrown into a dark corner.
This cemetery looks like it has not been taken care of for a long time. It is a desolate scene. The carved iron railings are twisted like thorns. The moon-white courtyard wall has long collapsed. The scattered bricks and stones are mixed with the bones dug out by wild beasts.
An old and thin swamp red pine grows lonely, with its dead branches sticking out like the grotesque claws of a corpse, cutting the night sky into pieces, and showing a strange and cold temperament under the bloody moonlight.
The dark wind blew by, like the whispers of the dead, making people shudder. In the thick fog, the huge blood moon loomed, falling every moment, and now it seemed closer to the human world than before, so much so that it made people feel as if only
You can reach out and touch its temperature. It must be very cold, like coagulated blood.
Neville was startled when she saw the bloody full moon in the sky, then turned her head and stared at the girl behind her nervously. But Leticia seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and shook her head as usual: "It doesn't matter.
,Grandma, that’s a fake full moon.”
"Fake?"
Neville didn't believe it at first, but then she saw Leticia's nonchalant look and knew she wasn't lying. She couldn't help but sigh: "Who can create such a real full moon? Could it be the true God? No, even if it is the true God,
It cannot affect the state of the stars in the sky..."
"Uh."
It’s the spirit behind my mind.
Leticia wisely kept these words in her heart and gently tugged on her grandma's sleeves, saying that she didn't have to worry about these details because she didn't have much time. Let's run away quickly.
There is only one minute left before the explosion.
……
After leaving the cemetery, Leticia found that the surrounding terrain was somewhat familiar. The jagged rocks and pale weeds, as well as the shrunken and desolate dead trees growing on the steep cliffs, seemed to be the same as the one she climbed up when she came here.
Are the cliffs exactly the same? In this case, the location of the cemetery should be directly behind the castle, not far from the back garden.
"Does this mean we have to go back the way we came?" Alice complained.
"How are we going to go back the way we came?" Leticia stood on the edge of the cliff and looked out in a very dangerous posture. She saw the darkness and depth below, like a bottomless abyss.
A huge whirlpool formed, resembling a giant open mouth of a monster, lurking in the dark night to devour people. The wind from high up whizzed by, making her thin body tremble, giving her a feeling of crumbling. She hurriedly
He took a step back and shook his head repeatedly. His face was paler than the exposed rock formations next to him: "No, it's impossible!"
She felt very relaxed when she climbed up. That was because her eyes were always looking up and she didn't need to pay attention to the situation below. Naturally, she would not realize how dangerous the height she was at was. Moreover, the firm belief in her heart would support her in ignoring it.
Surrounding environment, focus on your goal. But climbing down according to the original route is a completely different concept. Experienced climbers and rock climbers know that the way down the mountain is always more difficult than the way up.
"What are you talking about, Leticia?" Neville noticed the girl's cowering and frightened expression, and asked doubtfully: "Although it is indeed a bit tall, you are a vampire."
The ancient Poecilia Peninsula is full of legends and poems about the vampires flying gracefully under the cold dark night and in the quiet moonlight. The cliff like the Foloze Castle is not suitable for ordinary people and even ordinary people.
For aliens, such as werewolves, it is indeed a dangerous place, but for vampires, it is just a little higher. As long as the altitude does not make the air so thin that it is impossible to breathe, it is a realm where you can fly freely. p>
As a vampire, does Leticia need to be so afraid of cliffs?
After her words fell, the girl's body seemed to freeze for a moment. After a while, she slowly raised her head, with a sad face, and said to the confused Neville: "Grandma..."
"Huh?"
"Actually, I..."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't fly anymore, woo woo!"
"???"
At such a moment, the level of fright and shock that Nevel suffered could even be ranked second in her life that was too long to be summarized in memory. The first was that she thought she had died long ago, but in the end, she was killed by a certain girl.
The night when I opened my eyes in my arms and woke up from the dead.
She thought that after that night, nothing could disturb her soul. However, the same girl taught her a lesson with practical actions, telling her that it had long been a consensus in human society, but she had experienced it for the first time.
Reason for understanding: If you live a long time, you will see all kinds of strange things.
Including resurrection from the dead, as well as flightless vampires.
