The moment the door was closed, the only light disappeared.
In the pitch-black space, Liam's eyes lit up with a faint gray light, and his vision became clear. Darkness has always been death's partner.
This is a corridor made of countless black stones, with moonstones as smooth as jade placed on both sides. When darkness falls, for about ten seconds, the moonstones light up fluorescently, like street lamps guiding the direction.
The man took out a palm-sized stone from his arms and raised it above his head. The round stone glowed with gentle blue light.
"Moonlight spell?" Liam was surprised by the stone in the opponent's palm. If he saw it correctly, this stone was a cursed object.
It is necessary to distinguish the difference between magic scrolls and cursed objects here. Magic scrolls are drawn on special paper to inspire magic. The user has enough magic to activate the scroll. Cursed objects are completely different. Such items usually have extraordinary powers.
People with abilities lose control in extreme despair, and after being killed, their abilities are attached to items and they gain extraordinary abilities.
Cursed objects can be used by ordinary people and are of general use, but they also have the ability to curse the user.
"A little janitor has such an item, how many secrets are hidden in this place..." Liam braced himself 200% and followed the other person's footsteps downwards.
After twisting and turning and passing through several closed doors, the two of them were getting further and further away from the ground. Liam was also surprised by the scale of what was underneath.
"Tap-tat-tat" The sound of shoe treads on the ground reverberated throughout the space. Liam's mood became heavier and heavier. He quietly inserted his left hand into the hidden pocket in his arms, clamped a scroll and hid it quietly in his sleeve.
At this time, passing by a door, Liam subconsciously glanced at the house number above, "F3".
Just when he looked back, Liam was startled, the door was not closed!
Although there was only a thin crack left, it was indeed not closed tightly. The owner's carelessness caused the door to be ajar.
With his right hand making a secret, his lips moved slightly, and the silent spell was recited in an instant, "Level 1 magic; Little Wind Whirlpool."
A small whirlwind appeared on the palm of his right hand. Then the small whirlwind got into the crack of the door as if it were alive and exploded. This force was not strong, equivalent to the force of an adult carrying a wine bottle, but it was enough to push open a door.
Already.
"Creak." The door slowly opened outward.
Liam was now aligned with the opening door, his eyes peeking inside without leaving any trace.
Darkness is the main color of the room, and the only light comes from the chandelier above. Under the faint light, bright red and squirming pieces of meat occupy the entire table, and what occupies half of the table is the disgusting appearance of ugly fat accumulation.
humanoid creature.
The greasy fat was piled up into balls, and the squirming body was like a white moth in the mud. The ugly face was greedily eating the food on the plate. Blood mixed with minced meat spurted out from between the teeth. It was so disgusting that it couldn't be more disgusting.
There is an ear with a silver butterfly pendant hanging in his mouth.
Whether it was smell or sight, the impact on Liam was unparalleled. This was different from the crazy babble in his mind and ears in the past. This was a real sense of reality.
A strong feeling of nausea shot straight into his throat, and Liam almost instinctively wanted to vomit, but in the next moment, he realized the danger this behavior brought to him.
"Level 1 Magic: Clear Heart Technique." Immediately crush a small scroll hidden in his sleeve, and the magic released instantly is like a clear spring, soothing the almost out-of-control emotions and strong physiological reactions.
As the footsteps went farther and farther, the door was ajar again by the small whirlwind.
Liam's face became more and more ugly, the fat man was eating raw flesh and blood, and this was not the most unbearable thing for him. In that brief moment, he saw a small baby's hand in the plate of flesh and blood.
If it weren't for the Pure Heart Technique, Liam might have been unable to suppress the evil fire in his heart.
Cannibalism, this phenomenon is extremely common in nature, but as a human being, in a peaceful era that is not famine and war, this kind of thing is unacceptable to Liam. At this moment, there seems to be a voice in his heart that is constantly telling
He killed that beast, killed everyone here, and judged their sins.
Just when this idea was constantly being strengthened and incited him to take action, the gatekeeper who led the way stopped.
.....
The room is very spacious, with luxurious furniture, gorgeous chandeliers, comfortable light and light incense, and expensive paintings of celebrities. Everything here is not something Liam, a declining aristocrat, can enjoy.
The young man sips red wine, has a noble temperament, elegant manners, handsome appearance, and well-dressed clothes. All the advantages of a nobleman cannot be overstated in this man. He is so perfect, so perfect that it is creepy.
Next to the young man was a sturdy middle-aged man. He looked ordinary and wore ordinary clothes, but he gave people a sense of courage and self-reliance. He was also the only person in the room holding a sword.
Recognizing the identity of the young man at a glance, Liam's stiff face immediately showed a flattering smile. He had to do this, "Hello, Mr. Moretti, if I can help you with anything, please tell me."
That’s enough, why bother you to have an interview in person.”
Kucher Moretti put down his wine glass and looked at the young man in front of him with interest, always with a smile on his lips, "In recent days, Liam Joshua's name has been heard throughout Lando City."
"You're ridiculous. I'm just holding a noble title to make some shady money." Liam smiled extremely flatteringly.
"Hehehe." Kuchel smiled. If this smile were placed on a woman, it would be a charming sight. If placed on a man, it would look alluring and ghostly.
Liam immediately lowered his head. His heart felt hot for no reason. Could it be that the Heart Clearing Technique had failed?
"I called you here today because I have a deal to discuss with you."
"My lord, if you tell me, just say hello and don't discuss anything."
Kucher smiled calmly. He stood up, walked to the painting in front of him, and stared at the strange and evil painting.
"Last night, a fire broke out in the Hovog Orphanage. Witnesses said that before the fire, they saw a humanoid monster with two horns wandering around the orphanage. Three people escaped from the orphanage when the fire broke out, and one
The girl's body was found in the woods 8 miles away. The body had been dismembered, the head was ten meters away from the body, and the lower body was hung on a tree with her intestines. After identification, the head of the deceased was that of Jiao Li's friend, Mira.
"
Liam's body trembled, Mira, that gentle girl with a dimple in her smile, that girl who was deeply loved by Jack, that girl who was always sunny and sad but encouraged herself after mass...
"The other two people, have their bodies been found?" Liam's voice was a little dry, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.
As Jiao Li's good friend, her death outside can only mean that the three of them escaped together. As for why they were able to escape, it probably had something to do with Kate.
However, as the first victim, it means that Kate cannot fully take care of the two of them. How will the monster kill them?
"Mr. Kate is not dead. He was seriously injured and is now resting in my manor. As for the other person, her whereabouts are unknown." It was the burly man who answered.
Liam turned his attention to the man. This man had short hair, a tall and powerful figure, and his hand was always holding the hilt of the sword. The giant sword pointed diagonally at the ground. There was a conspicuous golden lion mark on the hilt of the sword.
"Hello, I'm Liam, may I ask who you are."
"Horag, a retired knight." Horag summarized his identity in a simple sentence.
"Knights don't have their own manors. Do you have other titles?" Liam asked carefully.
"Horag is still a baron, and his fiefdom is next to Kitland. Liam, he is the one who wants to cooperate with you." Kuchel added in time, looking away from the painting. "You will
There are a lot of common themes.”
After that, Kucher stepped towards the door. The doorman always stood guard at the door, opened the door respectfully, and allowed the handsome man to leave the room.
The atmosphere became heavier with Kucher's departure. Liam straightened his back, carefully observed the other person, and considered how to ask about the Hovog fire, as well as the news about Kate and Jiao Li.
Horag obviously didn't have those small thoughts. He went straight and said: "Kate is a brave servant. His courage and tenacity enable him to survive in pain. I admire him very much and will train him. As an employer,
Sir Liam, can you let him stay in my manor for a while?"
Liam raised the corners of his mouth, took off his half-silk top hat, put it on his chest, and gave a slight salute: "Your kindness and generosity are touching. It is an honor for Kate to get your guidance."
"Well, the last person who escaped from the fire was a woman."
Liam's smile didn't change, because his muscles had stiffened, and he tried to calm down.
"My attendants could not save her from the monster." Horag said this, sighing softly, and his eyes fell on the giant sword unconsciously, "The monster has a body and a sheep's head, and its invulnerable skin can corrode
Armor's saliva."
"Is she dead...?"
Horag shook his head, "She was kidnapped by a monster."
"Really... In other words, there is still a possibility that she is alive." Liam thought of the skull and butterfly pendant, and of the keys that Viscount Joshua hung on his waist. There was a particularly conspicuous one, a silver sheep.
Head key.
"Thank you for sharing, what can I do?" Liam calmed down and asked in a very serious tone.
"I just want to know the truth." Horag looked at the golden lion mark, "a truth that I have been looking for for 30 years."
"30 years..." Liam muttered to himself. This number impressed him deeply, because in the ancient book in Mayor Duran's house, it was recorded that the time when each Viscount succeeded to the throne was after the previous Viscount succeeded to the throne.
