Bai Huo was right. In the eyes of the demon hunter, the angry spirit sealed in the far north of Siberia was safe and harmless. Although a human family suffered terribly from the intrusion of the angry spirit, in the eyes of the demon hunter,
It seems that people who summon evil spirits and cause disasters do not deserve sympathy - in fact, no one deserves sympathy in their eyes. They have many reasons for their war against aliens, but they do not include sympathy for ordinary humans.
Their criterion for judging whether an alien is harmful is whether the alien has the potential to grow and develop, and whether it will threaten the demon hunter organization itself. But other than that, they seldom pay attention to it.
Therefore, they rarely find trouble with angry spirits, at least not actively: most of them appear in inaccessible places, and they are irrational, will not expand their territory, and will not manage their power. They are a kind of creature between creatures and
Weird things among natural phenomena do not even need to be regarded as "enemies", so even if the humans entangled by them are usually worse than death, the demon hunters do not care much about this problem.
The Andre family provoked this terrifying spirit creature three hundred years ago. They didn't know what method they used to restrain the angry spirit deep underground in their castle. Then the ancestors of the family began to seek help from the dark world.
Help: They looked for people who knew witchcraft, also approached the church, and even asked some aliens for help. Their activities naturally fell into the eyes of the witcher, but the witcher didn't even bother to show up and ask about it.
The only thing that interests the demon hunter about this angry spirit here is that it has stayed in the material world for such a long time: Generally speaking, an angry spirit does not stay in the real world for a long time. They are "monsters born from nightmares."
, a twisted underworld world is their destination. Therefore, the angry spirits usually dissipate on their own after making a big fuss, and the angry spirits under the Andre Castle have been entrenched for three hundred years. It may have been captured by the castle.
The sealing device is bound to this place. It may also be that the "witch" of the year ordered this angry spirit to torture the descendants of the Andre family for a long time to punish them for their disobedience, but in any case, this special feature did not cause orthodoxy
The witcher organization pays too much attention.
Nangong Sanba, a dabbler who wandered by himself, was the first demon hunter to ask about this matter. And the day after Nangong Sanba was sent back to his hometown instantly by the angry spirit, Bai Huo also arrived here quickly. To be honest, if
If Nangong Sanba had taken action two days later, the two of them would have bumped into each other.
Now it seems that Bai Huo doesn't know that Nangong Sanba had fought against the angry spirit here two days ago, and Hao Ren will naturally not take the initiative to mention it.
"By the way, Igor didn't know you were coming down to help?" Hao Ren saw Bai Huo leading the way and said nothing, so he had to find a topic to break the silence, "How did you get in here?"
"Igor? Oh, you mean the people living in the castle... I'm not here to help them," Bai Huo shrugged. "Although I think they are indeed... worthy of sympathy, my mentor said
, Sympathy cannot be the guideline for a demon hunter’s actions. I just came to find my prey, so naturally I didn’t disturb the people in the castle. Oh, it’s just ahead.”
Bai Huo pointed not far ahead, and Hao Ren noticed that everyone had escaped from the area where the wind and snow were the strongest. There was a small mound in front of them, and a pure black building stood on the mound.
The building is very strange. There are rough fractures and cut marks on the four walls, as if the entire house was "torn out" directly from another larger building. It was placed abruptly on the mound.
, although it has man-made features, but combined with the twisted and weird surrounding environment, the whole atmosphere looks particularly weird.
"This is part of the castle." Bai Huo pointed to the rectangular house. "It was originally supposed to be a certain hall in the underground palace. It was torn from the castle and twisted and merged into the strange space created by the angry spirit.
I suspect that this house is a key part of the sealing system. That’s why it can be preserved so completely, and the angry spirit’s attention lingers near this house. But it never dares to get too close to this place: a perfect place to stay.”
Bai Huo stepped forward and pushed open the heavy iron door of the strange house, and the decayed ancient hinges made a creaking sound. The room was dark. Bai Huo waved his hand gently, creating floating sparks in the air to illuminate
Surrounding environment. Hao Ren saw that it was indeed a relatively spacious hall, and he could vaguely see the gorgeous decoration that it once served as the center of the underground palace - but this place had become part of an alien space due to the erosion and distortion of the angry spirits.
, the hall is full of messy accumulations and weird black debris, only a small area in the middle has been cleared, which is where Bai Huo rested for the past two days.
"Find a place to rest by yourself," Bai Huo walked in front, "Those black substances are soul sandstone, a spell-casting material that is difficult to obtain in the outside world."
The second half of her sentence was addressed to Nangong Sanba.
When Lily saw that there were "good rocks" that she had never seen before, she immediately cheered and ran off to explore.
Hao Ren casually found an open space and sat down, looking up at Bai Huo curiously: "By the way, how much do you know about this castle and the angry spirits here? Let's exchange information."
Bai Huo did sneak into the underground palace without the Andre family's knowledge, but she also collected a lot of information about the castle before coming here, through the witcher's intelligence network and the information she had access to.
Those ancient books from a third party, what she knew about the Andre family was no less than what Nangong Sanba saw in the castle library. And this strange witcher lady didn't seem to mind.
Tell me what you know: "I did find out something... To talk about the origin of the angry spirit, we must mention the rise of the Andre family. Three hundred years ago, the ancestor of this family worked together with another person.
Serving a witch: In that era, this was a very common thing. But later they betrayed the witch out of greed and conspired to steal two of the witch's treasures. One of the treasures and the betrayer who took the treasure
The author has been unable to verify it, and can only confirm that the treasure stolen by the ancestors of the Andre family is 'wealth'..."
At first, Hao Ren thought he was going to listen to the legend he heard from Nangong Sanba and Igor again, but as soon as Bai Huo opened his mouth, it was completely different from what he knew. He couldn't help it anymore: "Wait a minute, wait a minute
!You said that Ancestor Andre stole the treasure from the witch? Didn’t he inherit it?”
"At least that's what I know," Bai Huo nodded seriously, "And to be honest, it's unlikely that a witch would give any gift to two mortal servants. As far as witches in history are concerned, in the end, they would not take away the souls of their own servants.
He already has a kind heart, so the most likely possibility is that the ancestor of the Andre family stole the witch's things with another human servant. And the angry spirit is undoubtedly a punishment."
"It is unlikely that humans can summon angry spirits. Such things cannot be summoned," Nangong Wuyue nodded in agreement, "So Igor's statement is obviously untenable. It is probably the descendants of the Andre family.
In order to embarrass my ancestors, they tampered with the facts of the year. I think the angry spirits are probably related to the treasures they stole from the witch, and they just set themselves on fire."
Hao Ren touched his chin and was lost in thought. Then he suddenly saw Vivian looking around blankly. He asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"
"I always feel..." Vivian looked at the dilapidated hall around her and frowned, "I always feel like I forgot something..."
Before she finished speaking, Lily, who ran to the side to "explore", suddenly shouted: "Hey! Look, I found something!"
Hao Ren quickly ran over to see what was going on. Lily pointed at the wall of the hall: "Look, there are portraits hanging here too!"
It turns out that there are some oval photo frames hanging on the wall, and the photo frames also contain the images of Andre's ancestors that everyone had seen on the upper floor of the castle. And perhaps due to the special characteristics of the Raging Spirit Space, the images in these photo frames still appear very clear.
However, there are only a few photo frames that can be found here: the underground palace was sealed two hundred years ago. Since the last member of the Andre family who could barely resist the angry spirit died of madness, no one has brought new pictures to the palace.
Family portraits were sent to this hall, so that until this hall was swallowed up and assimilated by the twisted space, it still retained the scene when the last member of the Andre family left two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years ago...
Something suddenly came to Hao Ren's mind, and he immediately turned to look at the end of the hall: According to the structure he saw in other parts of the castle, there should be another most special portrait hanging there!
But there was nothing there, there was only an empty stone wall where the portrait of the witch was supposed to be hung.
Lily also guessed Hao Ren's thoughts at this time. She hurried over to check the wall carefully, and suddenly found that there were faint traces of uneven color on the wall: obviously something had been hung here.
Betsy is indeed a mercenary who often digs into various ruins. At this time, her understanding and intuition are amazingly strong. She directly guessed what to look for without Hao Ren opening his mouth, so she immediately ran to the wall and found the things piled on the ground.
The soul sandstone began to churn, and soon she saw something with only one corner exposed under the black gravel.
"Found it! It's here!"
Betsy shouted happily while carefully pulling the thing out from under the black gravel. It was indeed a huge portrait, mounted in a sturdy wooden frame, and even covered with a layer of expensive quartz.
Protect this painting.
Hao Ren recalled what Igor had said: In his grandfather's generation, a family member lost his footing and fell from the castle because he had a vision of a witch, so all the witch portraits in the castle were added
The veil was removed, and from that day on, no one knew the witch's appearance.
But there is still an original version of the witch's portrait preserved in the castle: deep underground, in a different space that has been sealed by angry spirits for two hundred years.
Lily and Betsy carefully brushed away the dust and gravel from the portrait, and a beautiful girl appeared in the portrait.
Vivian.
"Oh, I remember!" the vampire girl's voice came from behind, "I lived here back then!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
