Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 49 Dream

In the cold and gloomy hall, Klein shuddered suddenly, looked away, and said to Miss Bodyguard:

"Let's go back."

Judging from the performance of Azik's copper whistle just now, there are probably terrifying evil spirits in the innermost room. On... It has been wandering for hundreds of thousands of years, and it may have been equal to a high-sequence powerhouse. If it weren't for the difficulty of its power leaking out of the room, I would be a dead person now... Even if Miss Bodyguard belongs to the best in Sequence 5, I will add She also has little hope of making a comeback... One must be self-aware, and not be tempted by "treasures" that are suspected of being left behind by Extraordinary people and magical items... Greed often leads to death... Klein silently found a reason and convinced himself.

The lady bodyguard glanced at him sideways, and asked without emotion in her eyes:

"Then?"

after? Klein gritted his teeth quietly, and said after deliberation:

"Let Miller Carter call the police, who knows when the evil spirit will be able to get out of trouble, solve it as soon as possible, no, no, Mr. Carter doesn't know much, if you call the police in this way, the police department will not pay enough attention, The first batch of people who come to explore and inspect will suffer heavy casualties, and may even indirectly help the evil spirits get rid of their shackles. Moreover, after seeing such a statue, I, a detective, may be silenced... Um... Did you see the bones and bones in the room? Spiritual brilliance?"

Miss Bodyguard turned her eyes to the dark corridor behind the half-opened stone door again, and nodded slightly.

Klein telegraphed his thoughts:

"I guess those are the corpses of previous explorers. They were killed by evil spirits in that room, and the Extraordinary left behind magical items. This may be related to the Viscount family who originally lived in the outer house. I plan to ask Know their surnames, go to the library to search for information, and search for their descendants to see if they can get useful clues."

"When the situation is initially determined, I will make a choice depending on the severity. I may use some explosives to destroy the door and prevent others from entering. I may also send an anonymous letter to the police department, describing the existence of the evil spirit in detail. However, this must We have to think of ways in advance to avoid risks.”

"It's not too urgent, you can take your time."

After the bodyguard listened quietly, she looked ahead and said in an erratic tone:

"Aren't you considering organizing people to purify that evil spirit?"

"Even if there are no magical items left behind, just the remaining parts after the evil spirits dissipate are still precious enough."

It's the first time I've seen you talk so much... Probably... Klein replied without hesitation: "The risk is too high,

I think my life and health are more important. "

He organized the next sentence and added:

"The most powerful person I know is you, and judging from the performance just now, you don't seem to be the opponent of that evil spirit. I can't imagine, there is no other way to solve it besides calling the police."

Miss Bodyguard turned around, her pale face slightly transparent.

"You still have reason." She commented calmly and indifferently, and then drifted towards the exit of the ancient hall.

Apart from being suspected of being influenced by the "true creator", where am I like a lunatic? Klein slandered, carrying the lantern and cane, and followed closely behind the bodyguard lady. During the whole process, he always felt that he was being watched by the cold eyes in the dark corridor.

It wasn't until walking out of the ancient stone gate that this feeling suddenly dissipated.

Klein turned around, closed the door, and sealed the upside-down candlestick, the knife-like brand, and the evil statue of the Six Gods inside, allowing them to continue to "sleep" in the constant darkness and silence for thousands of years.

After patting the dust off his clothes, he changed the lantern from another hand, and then quickly returned to Miller Carter's basement, and the Miss Bodyguard had habitually disappeared into the air.

Miller Carter was pacing in the basement. When he saw Klein coming out, he hurriedly asked:

"How is it? What's the situation inside?"

Klein had already thought up his speech, and said with a frightened expression:

"It's very bad, there are a lot of snakes, and there are collapses in many places. I plan to collect some information, find a manpower, and prepare for the second exploration. During this time, you'd better not send people in. Believe me, there are more poisonous snakes than you can imagine."

The old gentleman Miller took a light breath and asked with a little fear:

"Will they swim over?"

"Do you know any professionals who deal with snakes?"

Klein immediately nodded and said, "I will find someone to cooperate and try my best to deal with this matter. It is already cold autumn, and the snakes are not willing to move. As long as you don't send people in to disturb them, nothing will happen."

"Okay, please as soon as possible, I will close this door during this time, and no one will be allowed in." Miller heard, and relaxed a little.

Seeing that the real but not all words had bluffed his employer, Klein quickly put down the lantern, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said:

"Next, I will collect some information and first figure out the layout of the underground building before exploring."

"This requires you to tell me which viscount the original owner of this house is."

Miller bought the building precisely for the name of the former aristocratic property, and immediately replied:

"Viscount Pound."

"What do you know about him and his family?" Klein asked with a professional attitude.

Miller thought about it:

"I don't know much, I only know that they obtained the title in the 'Battle of Reneging the Oath'. They used to have a prominent time, but they suddenly fell for some reason decades ago. They lost their heirs in succession, so they can only look for relatives in the side branch. To retain the title, and the new Viscount Pound is, hehe, in short, he squandered most of his family property and was reduced to a baron by the king. He should still be in Backlund, but he may go bankrupt at any time."

Battle of oath? The war of breaking the oath that started in 738 of the fifth era? Klein, a history student who successfully graduated, recalled the corresponding knowledge reflexively.

The war more than 600 years ago was a war involving religion. The Fenepot Kingdom in the south originally believed in the Mother Earth and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom at the same time, but under the influence of certain factors, the two Serious conflicts emerged in the church, and believers often clashed.

Its two neighbors to the north, the Kingdom of Loen and the Kingdom of Intis at that time seized this opportunity to start a war on the pretext of protecting freedom of belief. Later, the Fusac Empire joined in and tried to destroy the plot of Loen and Intis. But still failed to reverse the situation, suffered a failure.

As a result of the war, the countries such as Lunburg, Masik, and Segar, which were located at the junction of Loen and Fenepot, and Intis and Fenepot respectively, became independent, with the belief in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom as their core. Lord, there is only the Mother Earth Church left in the Fenepot Kingdom.

Because both sides of the war accused their opponents of betraying the end of the Fourth Epoch, this conflict that lasted for five years was called the "War of Oath Breaking".

After that, the Northern Continent had an era of peace for more than 300 years. This does not mean that there were no conflicts between countries, but that there were no such large-scale wars anymore. All this continued until Roselle invented the steam engine, improved sailing ships and artillery.

This is what is recorded in the history textbooks... Thinking about it now, since belief is involved, there must be Extraordinary people from the church involved, and a fierce supernatural war must have erupted behind the scenes... However, it is said that at that time, it was already an era when supernatural beings were rare , the number of Extraordinary people is not many...Squad-style battle? Could the sudden decline of the Pound family decades ago and the continuous loss of heirs be related to the discovery of the ancient underground building? Klein asked thoughtfully:

"Then do you know where Baron Bond is currently living?"

"Sorry, I don't know." Miller shook his head slightly.

Klein asked a few more questions, but seeing that he couldn't get any more information, he left and returned to No. 15 Minsk Street.

At this time, it was nearly 5:30, and the sky was gloomy and dark, like night. Klein thought that the public libraries should have closed, so he temporarily put aside the matter of the underground construction and prepared dinner for himself.

He originally wanted to learn how to make Fenbo noodles according to the recipe in the newspaper, but he made noodles mixed with meat and sauce and vegetables, which tasted surprisingly good.

After eating and drinking enough, Klein tossed a coin casually, divination whether he should call the police now, and got an answer that he shouldn't.

…………

Backlund at night is as quiet as any other city, at least in the Jowood area.

Klein was sleeping soundly, wandering vaguely in different dreams. Suddenly, he was startled and deeply aware that he was dreaming.

Someone invaded my dreams? Klein restrained the urge to frown, and looked around in a pretended daze.

He found himself in a scalding yellow desert.

Suddenly there was a roar from the sky, and a huge monster with black and gold was soaring towards it.

The monster has a thick, lizard-like body with a pair of broad leather-covered wings growing from its back. It is getting lower and lower, covering the sun in the sky.

A giant dragon! Powerful dragon! Klein saw the scales the size of a plate, the huge mouth emitting pure light, and two dark golden vertical pupils.

Roar!

The giant dragon spat out a ray of light, which seemed to cover everything without bounds, and the large desert was wiped out.

Amidst the light, a figure jumped into the air.

He is three or four meters tall, but he doesn't have the unique vertical single eye of a giant. He has a handsome, young face, and he wears a black full-body armor that looks like blood has been splashed.

This giant-like knight swung his broadsword from bottom to top, and countless blue-white and purple flames condensed into long spears, and shot at the giant dragon densely. He seemed to have a whole legion of illusory extraordinary beings to cooperate. fight!

In the shower of meteors and fire, the giant knight jumped on top of the dragon's head, and made a slashing movement.

The afterimages he dragged out overlapped instantly, and the sword light turned into converging lightning.

Snapped!

The ground shook wildly, the dragon fell down, and the blood was dark gold.

At this time, the picture suddenly changed, showing a bloody door, which was exactly the bloody door that Klein saw in the innermost part of the ancient building in the afternoon.

With a creak, the bloody door opened a gap, allowing people to vaguely see a black high-back chair.

A man of normal size sat on the high-backed chair, with his head down, quiet and dead.

As the angle of view got closer, Klein could clearly see what this man was wearing. He seemed to be the knight who killed the dragon just now. He was still wearing blood-stained black armor!

The only difference is that he is no longer three or four meters tall.

At this moment, the man suddenly raised his head. On the young and handsome face, there were horrible rotten marks one after another, and his eyes were cold and heartless.

Klein was startled, and suddenly woke up from the dream, and opened his eyes to see the crimson moonlight piercing the curtain.
