Looking at the undead densely scattered throughout the castle, little Sam's attempt to stand up gave way, and he fell down again with a "plop". His feet were like pedals, rubbing back, trying to stay away from the ancient castle.
Fort.
However, little Sam stopped before he even took a few steps back.
It wasn't that he stopped voluntarily, but several malicious eyes stared at him.
As a mortal who has never had extraordinary experiences before, little Sam discovered for the first time that malicious eyes can also make people feel powerful... His hands and feet seemed to be shackled, and he could feel it with just a slight movement.
A chill running down my spine.
When little Sam's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking, Angel's voice reached his ears.
"The undead are naturally suppressive of humans with weak blood." Angel said as he walked up to little Sam: "Your blood is not weak, but it's a pity that you are too young, so you are still restrained by the undead.
of."
When explaining Little Sam's doubts, Angel also blocked the eyes of the dead from looking at Little Sam.
Only then did little Sam feel that the suffocating air was slightly relieved.
However, as soon as little Sam finished breathing, he felt the ground shaking slightly. He lowered his head in confusion and looked at the earth that was slightly wet with water vapor, wondering what had happened.
Could it be an earthquake? As soon as this thought flashed through Little Sam's mind, he noticed a large number of black threads coming out of the ground, accompanied by a stench that was so strong that it made Little Sam want to vomit.
The black threads were like weeds, and in an instant, they surrounded little Sam and Angel.
"What are these black threads? Why do they look a bit like... hair?" Little Sam exclaimed.
"This is indeed hair, but it is not the hair of a living person, but the filth of the dead." Angel has had a lot of contact with the undead. He had only a little understanding of their methods before, but after Nice's popular science, he was able to confirm that these
Hair must be a dead gas in the soul's tricks.
However, the transformation of death requires a medium, and generally speaking, the medium is the undead itself; or, the corpse of the dead.
Angel sensed that there were no undead underground, which meant that the medium of death gas was corpses.
Such dense hair also means that there should be many corpses buried in this vast ground.
"What should we do?" Little Sam shivered and looked at the hair around him. They were intertwined and entangled, like living tentacles, weaving a cage or a coffin for their funeral.
Little Sam: "If I run away, will they come after me?"
Angel: "I don't know whether we will pursue you or not. But why did you run away?"
"What will we do if we don't run away?" Little Sam asked subconsciously.
"Wouldn't it be nice to just kill them?" Angel said in a calm tone that little Sam couldn't believe: "It's rare to encounter undead materials, but it's a pity that there are a little bit. If you want to make up for it, I'll probably end up with it.
We need to go to the Sea of Ghosts."
Undead material? Sea of the Undead? When Little Sam heard Angel's words, his body trembled unconsciously. He didn't know what these terms were, but just reciting them, he felt overwhelming and suffocating.
The moment Angel's voice fell, an orange-red flame floated in front of him. This flame was not visible at first, but when it touched his hair, it seemed to be helped by the spring breeze, and in an instant it
Spreads to all surrounding hair strands.
In the blink of an eye, the cage of hair disappeared.
Only the ashes of some dead things and the lingering smoke remained on the ground.
As the smoke rose, a terrifying howl suddenly sounded. Little Sam only saw the undead woman at the door rushing towards Mr. Pat, and then the howl stung his brain and made him dizzy.
The howl of the undead woman was just an introduction, and soon, the surroundings were filled with roars one after another.
This is the howl of the undead, an attack against mental power and soul.
Unfortunately, it has no effect on Angel.
However, little Sam was affected, covering his head and screaming. Angel casually threw a mental defense shield at him, allowing him to breathe again.
Angel didn't show a trace of fear when facing the approaching undead. Just when the female undead was about to fly in front of him, he pressed the trigger of Reincarnation Prelude.
As a semi-mysterious thing, Reincarnation Overture is simply unreasonable restraint on the undead.
This female undead is not weak, even if she is a peak apprentice, she may not be able to deal with it easily. However, under the blow of Reincarnation Prelude, there is no room for maneuver, and she directly turns into blue smoke. Moreover, the female undead is coming from behind.
Several undead souls were also affected and died together.
Little Sam, who witnessed this scene, was shocked and noticed that when the female ghost died, her true face was revealed.
"This is...mother's maid, Maid Isa?!"
After Angel heard what little Sam said, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh? It turns out that he was transformed into a servant of your family. Do you know this person too?"
While Angel was killing the incoming undead, he still had time to create an illusion, which showed the appearance of a man.
It is the undead that was hidden in the statue of Queen Rowling before.
Little Sam looked carefully at the man in the illusion, and he saw a bit of his mother's look between his eyebrows: "This... this is Count Roland, my mother's brother!"
"So he is your relative?" Angel said with a look of sudden realization: "No wonder, he can possess you so easily. It turns out that there is a natural blood relationship as a bridge."
This kind of possession, with blood as the medium, is much simpler than possession by soul tricks.
"So do you know the other people here?" Angel pointed to the undead surrounding him attacking him.
Although these undead still have a terrifying appearance with teeth and claws, their faces still vaguely bear certain characteristics of their lives. Little Sam carefully identified them for a while and said: "A few of them are servants of the previous family, but I don't recognize most of them."
.”
For example, little Sam had never seen the undead being destroyed by Angel at this time.
"The undead's clothes have some characteristics of his life, and there are a lot of tool bags... he probably came to the castle to steal property." Angel judged by the undead's clothes.
From this point of view, it is estimated that most of the undead here are visitors who covet the castle's property. They may be thieves, adventurers, or just passers-by.
No matter what they were in life, they turned into the ghosts of the castle after death, attacking and killing visitors one after another.
In just one minute, Angel killed five or six undead. The other undead were floating in the air, staring at Angel with hatred and malice, ready to pounce at any time.
Angel then turned to look at little Sam: "Don't you want to go to the castle to see it? You can go now."
Little Sam looked at the undead around him and trembled: "But, the undead..."
"Don't worry, all the undead are here. There are no undead in the castle. If you want to take a look, just go in now."
Little Sam: "Are there really no undead?"
Angel: "No."
Angel didn't lie. He used his mental power to sense that there were indeed no undead inside the castle, but... although the undead were gone, there were a lot of corpses.
However, these corpses are dead objects and cannot move. At most, they will be shocked when they see them.
Seeing that Angel was so sure, little Sam thought for a while and rushed towards the gate. He came to the castle this time with the intention of going inside and taking a look; moreover, being outside might also affect Pat.
Mr. play.
After little Sam pushed open the castle door and disappeared, Angel then looked at the undead around him.
At this time, all the undead turned their heads in the direction of the castle.
"Is that really the case?" Angel looked at the strange scene in front of him and thought to himself.
Previously, the undead possessing little Sam did not attack Angel immediately, but rushed into the castle. Angel felt it was a bit strange, which was not in line with the characteristics of the undead.
At that time, he was wondering if there was anything strange in the castle.
He scanned the inside of the castle with his mental power, but did not find any extraordinary traces in the castle.
Now, he asked Little Sam to go to the castle, and all the undead were immediately attracted by Little Sam, and even gave up their hatred of Angel. This clearly proved once again that there was something suspicious in the castle.
"If there is a problem, what is it?"
Angel looked at the old castle. This abandoned castle standing at the junction of dawn and darkness suddenly became mysterious.
While Angel was looking at the castle, all the surrounding undead gave up attacking Angel and instead flew towards the castle at extremely fast speeds, obviously preparing to chase little Sam.
Upon seeing this, Angel snapped his fingers, and fog immediately filled the area near the castle.
Under the cover of the mist and illusion, all the undead cannot rush into the real castle. Once they enter the warning range of the castle, they will be guided to the vicinity of Angel.
One after another, they all appeared around Angel.
But even so, the undead still rushed towards the castle persistently.
"You actually ignored me." Angel shrugged: "Although it feels a little subtle, it's not bad, at least it doesn't take so much effort."
Angel raised the Prelude to Reincarnation and pointed at the undead rushing towards the castle with their backs turned to him.
After a few shots, the fog dissipated.
All undead souls are destroyed and purified.
In fact, Angel could keep one and use the special effects of the Reincarnation Prelude to return the undead to normal and ask questions about the castle; but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
It's not worth wasting special effects on these undead.
After completely wiping out the undead, Angel did not enter the castle, but stood there and closed his eyes.
Through his mental power, he observed little Sam in the castle.
After little Sam entered the castle, except for being startled by the corpses piled up in the hall at first, he was very calm the rest of the time. Moreover, little Sam was very familiar with the castle and took a few shortcuts to get there.
We arrived at a room on the fourth floor.
Such familiarity shows that little Sam has indeed lived here.
The room that little Sam went to was obviously a female boudoir. In this room, little Sam's emotions showed ups and downs, especially when he saw the oil painting covered with dust and cobwebs on the wall, he seemed to be lost.
soul.
Standing in front of the oil painting, little Sam brushed off the dust on the oil painting, stared at the people in the oil painting, and shed tears silently.
In the oil painting was a very gentle-looking woman, whose facial features were quite similar to those of little Sam. Angel guessed that this person should be little Sam's mother.
Little Sam stayed in his mother's room for a long time.
Touching the items that his mother had used in the past, his eyes were a little blurry, as if he was reminiscing about the past. After a long time, little Sam left the room.
Little Sam went to a few more rooms, but judging from his expression, it seemed that he was just reminiscing about the past.
About fifteen minutes later, little Sam came down from upstairs.
Angel thought that little Sam would leave the castle, but he didn't. Instead, he went around a corner and activated some secret mechanisms, and a downward path appeared on the wall.
At the end of the path, there is a secret room underground.
Angel discovered this place when he was exploring the castle before. He also looked carefully. There were a large number of artworks in the secret room, including sculptures, oil paintings, and musical instruments.
According to Angel's level of appreciation, these works of art are definitely masterpieces.
You can probably see such a wide range of masterpieces in the city of Saint-Séme, the city of art. People here, both commoners and nobles, are passionate about art. I think little Seme’s mother is also an art collector.
.
Every piece of work here can be sold for a sky-high price.
Angel had thought before that if little Sam didn't know about this secret room, he would tell him. Firstly, it would prevent the masterpieces from being dusted; secondly, these works of art would also allow little Sam to live a good life.
.
But now that I think about it, there is no need for it.
Little Sam obviously knew about this secret room, and his strong request to come to the castle this time was probably because of the art works in the secret room.
"The picture of the girl holding daisy spikes is so beautiful. If old Pat was still here, he would probably be crazy about this picture. And the sculpture of the goddess sleeping soundly on the moon is simply amazing..." Ange
I observed these works of art with my mental strength and praised them repeatedly.
When he was observing the artwork, he noticed from the corner of his eye that although little Sam came to the secret room, he did not look at the artwork. Instead, he walked to a corner, did something unknown, penetrated the wall, and disappeared.
.
Angel was stunned when he saw this scene.
Is there a room behind the wall in the secret room?!
Angel quickly used his mental energy to search, but found that there was nothing. Behind the wall was a thick layer of soil with no rooms.
Little Sam seemed to have simply disappeared.
"Where did he go?" Angel was confused and focused his mental power on the wall where little Sam disappeared.
This time, Angel finally discovered something strange.
A pattern drawn with blood.
The style of the pattern is a combination of a large number of geometric figures.
"It's not a magic pattern, and it doesn't have energy fluctuations, but it looks a bit like... an inscription?"
