Stroking the crystal vessels placed on the table, Raymond carefully inspected everything in the basement.
Raymond was full of doubts about everything in this basement.
The books in the bookcase are all written in Common Language. Unfortunately, Raymond is blind. He can speak and hear, but he cannot read.
Fortunately, many of the books placed in the bookcases have illustrations, and the printed fonts inside are all clearly legible.
After recording all the books in the bookcase with a chip, Raymond rang the bell in the room.
Soon the beautiful maid appeared at the door. Raymond, who was sitting behind the long table, didn't bother to get up and directly ordered her to bring dinner here.
This basement was much cooler than his room above, so after having dinner, Raymond closed the door to the basement. He wanted to continue the memory of those symbols in this comfortable basement.
.
Raymond, who has mastered ten symbols, can now turn to the fifth page. The eleventh symbol that appears in this magical book is even more complicated and difficult to remember.
Raymond, who was immersed in the memory of symbols, was unknowingly absorbing active substances in the air. Through the monitoring of the chip, Raymond's genes were gradually changing.
"Ding, ding ding... ding ding ding..."
Raymond was silently memorizing the first symbol when he suddenly heard a sound like a bell.
"Alert! Alert! A force field of unknown strength is found, leave immediately!" The chip's voice echoed in Raymond's mind.
Raymond stood up in shock and rushed towards the door. He immediately realized that something was wrong.
The door, which was not completely closed at first, was locked at some point.
The tight-fitting bronze door cannot be pulled open at all.
Moreover, the candles throughout the basement began to sway without any airflow in the room.
In the brightly lit basement, many shadows began to appear on the walls, and the flickering candlelight was unable to illuminate all places.
With his back pressed against the door, Raymond felt his scalp numb, and a layer of fine goose bumps appeared on his exposed arms.
After suppressing the alarm sound emitted by the chip, Raymond quickly gave a direct order. "Check the source of the force field!"
"Task established, start analysis..."
Raymond, who was leaning against the door, was facing the wall clock on the wall. The time had just passed twelve o'clock.
The ticking, ticking sound of the pendulum made the atmosphere in the basement become even weirder.
Looking at the shadow slowly appearing on the wall clock, Raymond finally broke down in cold sweat.
The flame of the candle placed on the table no longer dances.
But the shadow that slowly squirmed from the wall clock ignored the illumination of the candle and covered the snow-white wall like liquid seeping out from behind the wall clock.
The ticking sound of the wall clock echoed in my ears, and I watched the shadow slowly appear from behind the wall clock, flowing down like a black liquid, and finally a small bulge rose on the ground.
The frightened Raymond kept urging the chip, but the chip still failed to show the results regarding the source of the inexplicable force field just established.
Like a puddle of mud, the shadows flowing from the wall clock to the ground piled up on the ground, slowly squirming and rising, and finally stopped when the height reached a person's height.
What should have been an incorporeal shadow slowly stretched and turned into a human form under Raymond's gaze. Human-like limbs and head also took shape from the entire shadow and were displayed in front of his eyes.
Only the face is still a flat piece, with no eyes, no mouth and nose.
"Ha, haha...hahaha..."
It completely turned into the shadow of a human body, suddenly burst into laughter, and the result of the chip was also generated at the same time: "Unknown strength force field, medium radiation equivalent, slowly decaying."
The conclusion of the chip does not make any sense to Raymond at the moment.
Because the shadow standing behind the long table was turning its head, as if observing everything in the room.
After walking slowly for a few meters, he came to the human-shaped shadow in front of the table. The flat head lay on the book that Raymond had just read, as if he was checking it, and stayed there for a long time.
The chip could not detect the specific location of the laughter that echoed in the room. This weird and crazy laughter seemed to be coming from behind the wall in the room.
After several minutes, accompanied by crazy laughter, the human-shaped shadow standing in front of the table, the face without a mouth, nose, and eyes, raised its head and pointed at Raymond.
As the sound of laughter disappeared, an old female voice came directly to Raymond's mind: "Little guy, are you reading this wizard's book?"
Fear made Raymond's voice hoarse: "Yes, I'm watching."
"The most basic wizard's book. It seems that you have just entered the first-level apprenticeship and your potential is pretty good."
"Thank you, thank you for the compliment." The strange scene made Raymond sweat more on his head.
"It doesn't matter. Since you can appear here, you should be a descendant of the family. Tell me your name."
Raymond took a deep breath, frowned, and told the truth: "My name is Raymond, but I am not a descendant of the Tori family. I just live here temporarily."
The paper-like head was raised and tilted on the slender neck, as if it was observing Raymond carefully.
Raymond was horrified. The monitoring data of the chip in his sight were constantly refreshing, and the indicator showing the radiation intensity was slowly attenuating. However, Raymond did not feel that he would be safe.
The face standing there without a mouth, nose and eyes was like a piece of tissue paper. When it turned its head sideways, Raymond could clearly see that the shadow was just such a thin layer.
After a moment, he seemed to have finished looking at Raymond's shadow, and said slowly: "Little guy, it seems you didn't lie. Now tell me about the Tori family."
Raymond, who frowned, was speechless when facing this human-shaped shadow.
Because this human-shaped shadow actually sat arrogantly on the chair he was sitting on just now, and put his thin paper-like legs on the table.
Raymond smiled bitterly and had no choice but to tell one by one what he learned at Hewenson today. Finally, he also told his own origin.
But the origins that Raymond told in front of Hewenson made the human-shaped shadow sitting on the chair laugh crazily...
