Gently pushing the dilapidated wooden door where Elizabeth Bathory escaped, the doorframe made a harsh creaking noise.
Behind the door is a passage, and within a few steps there is a corner. There is an upward staircase, which leads to the place where family members rest and live.
Walking straight ahead is the kitchen and the living quarters of the servants. This passage eventually leads to the back garden of the castle.
Wang Yuanheng did not go upstairs directly, but went to the kitchen first and cleaned up a few strange and weak monsters.
Seeing that nothing else was found, he immediately went to the place where the servants lived.
This area seemed a bit empty, with only a few places bearing traces of past life, and almost everything that could be used as weapons was missing in the entire area.
Combined with the scene in the banquet hall and the disappearance of kitchen knives and other items, it seems that a serious riot occurred in this castle.
squeak!
He casually opened a closet with his sword, and suddenly a scream came from inside, and a pom-pom-shaped monster covered in black tentacles rolled out and quickly fled out.
But Sauron suddenly sprang out from the corner and grabbed it.
However, after asking a few questions, I found out that this thing was just like those weak monsters in the kitchen. It could do nothing but squeak, so I let Sauron use it as a snack.
"They are all monsters born due to the influence of the twisted power here. They are just derivatives. Apart from instinct, they do not even have complete consciousness." Kahn and Zhao Ling'er walked over together and took a look at the one held by Sorun. "
Snacks," he said casually. As his strength increased, the old knight gradually gained a lot of experience and knowledge, perhaps this was related to his former identity.
Qingxuan and Bulbasaur also came back from the back garden and said they found nothing.
The group went up to the second floor, and Wang Yuanheng saw a painting in a living room, which showed a happy smile of a family of three.
The woman is obviously Elizabeth Bathory. In the painting, her belly is slightly bulging, she looks very happy, and she is snuggling with a man holding a two or three-year-old little girl.
This man seems to be Floz Dinasia.
After searching for about ten minutes, the group still found nothing. The main reason was that the castle was too big and there were too many rooms. Wang Yuanheng was worried that the crowd would be too scattered and Mrs. Bathory could take advantage of it.
Suddenly, Wang Yuanheng saw a little girl about six or seven years old looking at him timidly at the end of the corridor, but he was completely unaware of the girl's appearance.
"Brother Yuanheng, come here and take a look."
Just as he was about to step forward and question the girl carefully, he suddenly heard Zhao Ling'er's call. Wang Yuanheng subconsciously turned around, then turned around again, and the little girl disappeared.
"Did you just see the little girl at the end of the corridor?" Sauron and Bulbasaur who were following them shook their heads, saying that except for them, no one else appeared in the corridor, not even monsters.
.
Wang Yuanheng frowned, was he the only one who saw it?
With his attributes and talent effects, it is impossible for anyone to easily deceive his perception and create illusions, so what just happened cannot be an illusion.
At this time, Qingxuan ran over from Zhao Ling'er, saying that there was something discovered there. Wang Yuanheng had no choice but to put aside his doubts for the time being and walked over quickly.
When I came to the door of this room, I found that it was a large studio, surrounded by various painting utensils, large and small sculptures, and a large number of paintings hanging on the walls.
Of course, what's more important is that besides Kahn, there is another man in this studio.
"...Later, Floz lost her son when she was pregnant due to an accidental drunkenness. Later, Floz was away from home all year round. Tortured by loneliness and pain, she even began to have some hallucinations, so she let
I became her lover." This man held a paintbrush in his hand. He was a painter and Elizabeth Bathory's lover.
I have to say that this man is indeed very handsome, and people who like to engage in art are always particularly attractive to those young ladies in the boudoir. Therefore, it seems that Mrs. Bathory puts a hat on Floz.
It's not difficult to understand either.
The painter's voice was so infectious that even Miss Ling'er felt a sense of sympathy.
"...She mistakenly drank the poisonous wine that Floz prepared for me to drink. In order to survive, she learned black magic. She was once a noble and beautiful kind-hearted woman..."
"That's enough!" A sharp shout interrupted the man's words.
Wang Yuanheng walked over with the right corner of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was not the one who had just interrupted the other party's conversation rudely.
"According to what you said, she really seems innocent." Although there was a slight curve in the corner of Wang Yuanheng's mouth, the coldness in the smile made the man opposite shudder, "Then, how do you plan to explain Lou
Where are those twisted corpse puppets down there?"
"Where are the many servants of this castle, and where does so much blood come from?"
"Why would a group of people, mainly composed of farmers, be willing to risk being killed by other nobles even if they win, resist desperately, and rush into the castle."
"Also, why is this castle hung with the flag of the Bathory family, and even after Floz Dinasia died, he was cursed, and his body turned into a twisted monster and could never be separated from his mount?"
"These are just your guesses. In fact..." Facing Wang Yuanheng's questioning, the painter tidied his clothes and explained in a leisurely manner.
However, Wang Yuanheng didn't want to hear a monster continue to talk nonsense.
"You don't seem to be afraid of me?" Wang Yuanheng smiled softly, "What gave you the courage?"
Wang Yuanheng stabbed out with his sword, but it was not directed at the painter, but at the most inconspicuous painting hanging behind him in the corner in the entire studio!
The Blue Water Dragon Sword was nailed hard to the painting, and half of the sword blade sank into the wall behind the painting frame.
ah!
"It's really ridiculous. I can't find out what gave you the illusion. This painting is your true body." Looking at the painter whose body was constantly twisting due to pain, Wang Yuanheng showed no mercy at all.
"Do you think it's enough for you to cover up deliberately and block it intentionally or unintentionally?"
Maybe the former painter was indeed an innocent person, at most he was just having an affair with a noble lady. However, this monster called the painter was actually a twisted monster, but he was obviously the accomplice of Mrs. Bathory.
The twisted body of the "painter" suddenly jumped up, and the paintbrush in his hand suddenly split and expanded like a chrysanthemum, revealing dense jagged teeth. The face quickly disappeared, but appeared in the painting, full of vicious resentment.
looked at everyone in the room.
Wang Yuanheng took out his kick as he expected, and like a teammate who cooperated tacitly, the monster came to the door and was kicked out hard.
Ignoring it anymore, Wang Yuanheng drew out his sword, stirred it slightly, and then chopped the painter's body into pieces.
"I curse you, I curse that you will sink into forever..." Before he could finish the vicious curse, Wang Yuanheng crushed the remaining paintings completely with his kick.
The faceless monster body also trembled violently and fell to the ground, and soon turned into a puddle of black water, exuding a disgusting stench.
Wang Yuanheng frowned, picked up a card from under his feet, and left the studio first along with the others who were also covering their noses.
