Mage Joan

Chapter 241 The Haunted Manor

"Mithril" is a light and flexible rare metal that is far more expensive than gold.

The mithril alloy chain armor shirt on Rebecca's body was worth as much as Qiao's security department's net worth, and it was not something ordinary people could afford.

For this exorcism trip, Rebecca spent a lot of time preparing.

In addition to the "Mithril Chain Armor Shirt" she was wearing, she also carried a magic crystal shotgun with the same style as her sister's.

Joan was not surprised that Rebecca used a shotgun as a weapon.

Firearms are the "divine-given weapons" of "Queen of Karma" Timothy, and most of Timothy's followers love firearms.

Pastor Timothy, who has received the grace of God, can even use his own perception to assist in aiming. To put it bluntly, he "shoots by feeling".

Pastor Timothy, who is more sensitive, is more accurate in marksmanship.

From this point of view, even if Joan has never seen Rebecca shoot, she has reason to believe that Rebecca, with a perception attribute of 23, must be a sharpshooter, even more accurate than her sister Martha's marksmanship.

"If the ghost still retains the wisdom of life, seeing you in full armor, I'm afraid it won't show up to ask for trouble."

Joan touched the storage bag, took out a bottle of clear medicine and handed it to Rebecca.

"This is the 'Disguise Potion' I made myself, drink it now, and it will become less conspicuous."

Rebecca uncorked the medicine bottle with a hesitant expression.

"But, what should I look like so that I won't be conspicuous?"

"Let me make you look a little ugly. You probably don't want to, so let's change the armor into the style of Snow's maid uniform, and disguise the magic crystal gun...for example, into a broom."

"In this way, you can pretend to be a cleaning maid, and even if you are seen by a ghost, you will not be suspicious."

Rebecca readily accepted Joan's suggestion, changed her clothes after drinking the potion, and turned into a pretty and lovely little maid in a lace uniform skirt and bowknot in an instant.

The shotgun in her hand has also turned into a broom, of course, it is still the kind of "broom" that can be fired normally.

Joan himself also cast a ring of "Disguise", turning the student uniform into the livery of Snow's servants, wearing a skullcap, a white handkerchief on his shoulders, and a bucket in his right hand, looking like a cleaner.

Rebecca looked at Joan's disguised image and couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling. It wasn't until Joan glared at her angrily that he reluctantly put away his smile, followed Joan to the stairs, and waved the broom professionally, pretending to be sweeping the dust.

Seeing her flashy posture, Qiao An couldn't help shaking her head secretly. I just hope that the ghost lurking somewhere in the big house is not too smart, otherwise it will definitely see that Rebecca is not a competent maid.

Before going upstairs, Rebecca stopped, took off the silver chain hanging from her waist, wrapped it around her wrist, and grasped the "Timoth Sacred Emblem" attached to the end of the chain, and recited prayers.

Sacred magic power erupted from her body, and her blue eyes became extraordinarily bright, like two sparkling gemstones, shooting out a real line of sight, covering the surrounding space within the field of vision of monitoring the undead.

"This is the 1st ring divine spell 'Detect Undead'."

Rebecca told Joan in a low voice.

"Undead creatures can't detect the magic power fluctuations produced by the spell, but as long as they enter the monitoring range of the spell, I will immediately generate a mental induction and find the number and location of the undead creatures."

"Can invisible ghosts be found?" Joan asked worriedly.

"Well... theoretically, it can be sensed, but my spellcasting level is not high enough, and I can only detect the breath of the invisible undead, so I may not be able to judge the exact location of the opponent in the first place."

Rebecca stuck out her tongue embarrassingly.

Without saying anything, Joan opened the storage bag and took out a black articulated branch that resembled an insect's tentacles.

"What is this?" Rebecca leaned over curiously to examine it.

"A magic siren made of burrower tentacles. If other creatures appear in this room, whether they are living or undead, the siren will respond in time, which can add another layer to our ghost exorcism journey. Insurance." Joan simply explained.

Rebecca smiled in relief, and carried a shotgun disguised as a broom up the stairs leading to the second floor.

Joan followed behind her, calling out the "Hand of the High Mage" in advance, holding the "Electric Light Blade" tightly, and observing the surrounding movement vigilantly.

The rumors of ghosts had already spread throughout the manor, and all the servants of Snow's family were too frightened to approach this haunted mansion.

The upstairs and downstairs were empty, only the creaking sound of Joan and Rebecca stepping on the old-fashioned wooden stairs, which echoed in the dimly lit big room, which invisibly deepened the atmosphere of terror.

Rebecca walked to the end of the stairs, facing a closed wooden door.

With the help of the "detect undead" spell, she confirmed that there was no breath of undead behind the door.

However, when Qiao An urged her to open the door in a low voice, she still turned back timidly, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

It was not difficult for Joan to guess her state of mind—in fear of seeing something terrible the moment the door was opened, she remotely held the "Hand of the High Mage" to hold the doorknob, and pushed the door open with all her strength.

The moment the door was opened, there was a "pop" sound from the main hall on the second floor, which was particularly loud in the silent night.

At the same time, a gust of cold wind blows head-on through the open door.

Joan could not help but shudder.

Rebecca was so frightened that she quickly hid behind him, poked her head over his shoulder tremblingly, and peeped into the door.

Joan clenched the dagger tightly and remained silent, as was the silence in the opposite hall.

After a few seconds like this, Joan released the handle of the knife after confirming that there was no danger in the room, and walked lightly into the room covered with thick jacquard carpet.

The first thing he saw was a window open opposite.

Moonlight slanted in through the open windows, coating the soft carpet with a hazy sheen, and then a cool night breeze blew in.

"It's okay." Joan turned to comfort Rebecca, whose lips were pale from fright.

"It's nothing to blame!"

The frightened little girl was extremely excited, pointing to the open window opposite and yelling loudly.

"When you opened the door just now, there must be someone hiding in the room...or it might be a ghost! You opened the window and jumped out before we came in!"

"Your imagination is good, but it's not true."

Joan resisted the urge to be funny and patiently explained to her.

"The window on the opposite side is not plugged in. The wind blowing from the window is equivalent to putting pressure on the window and keeping the window in a falsely concealed state."

"When I suddenly pushed open the door, the door turned into the house and at the same time created a strong airflow, blowing the half-covered window on the opposite side to the outside, making a sound that startled you."

"Oh? So it's like this..."

Rebecca scratched her head in embarrassment, her face quickly returned to rosy.

"There are no suspicious signs in this room, let's look elsewhere."

Joan closed the window, turned and walked out the door.

"Uh, ok, wait for me!"

Rebecca didn't want to stay alone in the dark empty room, so she quickly followed Joan's footsteps.
