It seems that Vivian is right. Although the haunted incident in Jofold has attracted many paranormal enthusiasts from other places, the place has not yet reached the peak of crowds. There are still three empty rooms in this small hotel - also
There are only three empty rooms left.
Originally, the ideal situation was to have four rooms, so that Hao Ren, the three of them plus Nangong could live in one room without disturbing each other, but now that the situation seems to be happening, Vivian and Lily have to make do with each other for one night. For this, the vampire girl is
Resentment filled her head: She noticed that Lily was already standing and snoring, so she was 100% sure that the werewolf girl would be energetic in the second half of the night, and then run around the house like last night, with this jet-lagged guy.
One piece, don't even think about sleeping well.
After getting the room key, Nangong saw that there was no one at the counter, so he leaned against the counter and chatted with the fat boss here: "Hello, I have seen you on TV, Mr. Angus, right?
?It is said that there is a haunted castle near you?"
"Oh, your English is very good, much better than that Indian monk upstairs," the fat boss said with a smile. As a businessman who runs a hotel, he has the characteristics of being easy to get along with in line with his status, and he can chat with people from all over the world.
, "You are also here for the old castle? This is the big news in this area recently. Hey, that castle was almost forgotten before. If it hadn't been haunted recently, I'm afraid people wouldn't even mention the old name Fuld.
I can’t even remember it, but it’s a big enough ruin, and I’m afraid it will become a popular tourist attraction after this incident.”
"I am an expert in this field," Nangong straightened his collar and said very solemnly, "I am from China and a professional demon hunter. This time I came to eradicate the evil spirits in the castle.
"
Hao Ren couldn't help but quarreled with Vivian: "This guy is really so high-profile with everyone. He will tell whoever he catches."
The vampire girl snorted noncommittally, then put her shoulder on Lily, who was staggering next to her and was about to crawl away on all fours, and said hello to Hao Ren: "I'll send this guy upstairs first, and you can chat for a while.
Come up as soon as possible, let's discuss something."
Vivian dragged Lily upstairs, while the fat boss looked at Nangong in amazement: "Oh, it really comes from the mysterious China - but I remember that your ghost-catching experts are all called...what are they called?
Taoist priest?"
The fat boss is actually half a China expert, and he pronounces the word "Taoist" with very clear Chinese pronunciation.
Nangong didn't bother to explain the demon hunter's problem this time. He just smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a Taoist priest, although I also understand the Taoist ghost exorcism technique. By the way, if you have time, can you tell me about Yoful?
The story of De Castle, we are very interested in this."
The fat boss was immediately overjoyed. His chubby body got out from behind the counter nimbly, dragging Nangong and Hao Ren to a long table nearby for guests to rest temporarily: "Of course, of course, let's sit down and relax."
Come on, I’ve been telling people this for the past two days, where do you want to start?”
"Well, you can tell it from the beginning, starting with the story of this castle back then." Hao Ren looked at the fat boss's enthusiasm and found it a bit funny. He felt that he was like a tour guide who hadn't been in business for half a year and suddenly got taken advantage of. "I
I don’t know anything about that castle, and I didn’t even know where it was before I came here.”
The fat boss was surprised at first: "Hey! Your English is better than mine..."
Hao Ren: "...Ahem, let's talk about business, talk about business."
Then the fat boss started to talk about the castle. What he said was very emotional and detailed. It started from a British nobleman who established the territory here hundreds of years ago. It would take a long time just to talk about the family history of that nobleman.
For more than ten minutes, there were ups and downs of love and hatred, making a country lord look like a Knight of the Round Table. According to the description of the fat boss, the nobleman and his family had lived in Old Yoford for less than two hundred years.
In just these two hundred years, they experienced the ups and downs of the family, overt and covert struggles with the palace, rebellions within the territory and wars from outside. In the end, the entire family fell apart under the rebellion of the three heirs. The last generation
The eldest son among the heirs died on the throne of the castle, the second son died in the fighting of the rebellion, and the whereabouts of the youngest son are unknown, leaving countless legends and stories - and then the once prosperous Jofold Castle became the largest one in the area to be demolished.
The project is finished.
"The land of Jofold was once very prosperous, but it was completely abandoned during an internal rebellion. Many knights and soldiers died inside and outside the castle. Some of their bodies were buried by later generations, but it is said that there are still many people whose bones are not there.
It was found that those soldiers were trapped in the secret passages and basements under the castle. After the lord's family died, no one knew in detail how many hidden rooms there were down there, so the soldiers who died in the basements and secret passages
They couldn't be buried," the fat boss smacked his lips, and his tone became sinister. "It is said that these soldiers who were not buried back then turned into ghosts. They were trapped underground by the rebels and could only listen to their own voices.
The lords were killed above them, so they were full of hatred..."
Hao Ren looked at Angus' fat, expressive face and felt that this uncle must have been a broken-winged tour guide in his previous life.
"Is there a secret passage and a basement under the castle? A very large one?" Hao Ren asked curiously. Before Angus could answer, Nangong explained on his behalf: "Normally, in that era, the castle was not just a
The residence of the nobles is also the last bastion to deal with the war. Generally, there are very large underground cellars and secret passages extending in all directions. Some castles even have tunnels dug underground that can span the entire territory, so that the lord can escape in an emergency.
Far enough away."
Angus nodded and said that what Nangong said made sense, and then he added: "Most of the tunnels have collapsed, and for so many years, Yeofold Castle has been forgotten about, and no one really goes there.
The situation there has been explored, so no one knows how much secrets there are underground."
"Have you really seen a ghost?" Hao Ren looked at the fat boss's big, red face and couldn't help but be a little curious. This guy's face really didn't look like he had dealt with a ghost - how could he be so happy after bumping into a ghost?
of?
"Of course I have seen it!" The fat boss's voice suddenly became louder, "You are not the first person to doubt, but I can press my hand on the Bible and swear that I saw the ghost of the knight and the mysterious fire near the castle... Oh
, that was a terrible night, but it brought me so many guests now, I think it is not necessarily a good thing."
Seeing the fat boss's excitement, Hao Ren could only quickly express that he believed what he said. Then he chatted with him about the recent situation in the castle. Seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and left.
The room he booked was at the west end of the third floor. Vivian and Lily's room was right across from him, while Nangong's room was at the other end of the corridor, far away. As soon as he arrived at the door of his room, Hao Ren saw
Vivian is waiting for her at the door.
"Let's talk in your room," Vivian said, then pointed to her room, "The big dog had a dream and is now chewing on the legs of someone else's table. Be prepared, you will have to pay for it tomorrow."
Hao Ren: "...Why didn't you stop me!"
Vivian raised her hand to point to the series of tooth marks on her arm: "Haha."
Hao Ren: "..."
Of course, the conditions of this small country hotel are not comparable to those of a star-rated hotel in central London. Each room only has a few necessary furniture such as beds, tables and chairs, but such a room makes Hao Ren feel relaxed. He and
Vivian sat on the bedside and roughly described what she heard downstairs. Then she became a little worried: "I heard that there are already a lot of people over there at the castle. Many crazy guys are simply driving RVs or bringing people with them."
They came with tents - they don't live in the town, they just camped outside the castle and waited for ghosts. It might not be realistic for us to sneak over and find the 'people'."
"In other words, leaving tonight is the same as leaving tomorrow night?" Vivian blinked, "Just so I just used my own method to explore the situation there, and I really found something interesting."
