Chapter 746 Demon Altar

"Get out of the way!" Sirius waved his wand impatiently to disperse the owl ghost in front of him.

These guys didn't have any offensive power, they just looked at Aiwen and the others darkly, with pain and hatred shining in their eyes.

If possible, they would rush over like the ghost just now and tear the three of them apart...

But they can't do anything. Speaking of which, these ghosts are also a group of poor people. They are just ordinary servants of this castle. Most of them are not even wizards. They were poisoned to death by that witch. After death, the soul is imprisoned here again.

Until now, they are still controlled by demons, unable to act according to their own wishes, and unable to rest in peace.

Aiwen couldn't help thinking, who is that demon whose name the ghosts can't even mention?

Why can't they mention that name, what about the oath that was sworn?

Also, what did it mean by what it just said? Are demons watching them nearby? !

Things became more and more mysterious, and the castle was full of evil atmosphere. In the darkness that could not be dispelled, unknown forces gradually approached...

"We'd better get out of here!" said Sirius, with more and more owls appearing around him.

Ivan woke up suddenly, his magic disturbed the souls of the past, making them restless.

"Well, let's go and take a look at the dungeon." He nodded and said.

Ivan didn't want to wait until all the owls in the castle gathered here, that would be too bad.

Although they have little offensive power, it is uncomfortable to think that they are actually human souls.

Through the corridor covered with cobwebs, they found the entrance to the dungeon in the wine cellar at the innermost side of the kitchen.

To be honest, this is probably the most uncomfortable place in the entire castle. In front of the narrow arch is the rusty iron fence that fell on the ground. It seemed to be pushed to the ground by some monster, twisted and deformed. It was full of dark brown bloodstains.

After stepping over the iron bars, Ivan walked into the crypt, which was divided into small rooms for prisoners.

But now, this place is no longer a dungeon, but a huge family tomb.

What appeared in front of their eyes were many coffins carved from stone, scattered everywhere.

The patterns carved on the coffin are very simple, and the workmanship is also very rough, indicating that the status of the burial person is not high.

They went on, into a boxy hall.

The surrounding walls are sunken inward, and a space for placing things has been carved out. On top of it are human skeletons. They are wrapped in rags, straw mats and the like and are still there. Most of them have been corroded and weathered. , or completely eaten by rats, insects and other creatures, but there are still a few mummified corpses.

Under the light of the wand, Ivan saw a skeleton facing him, with two dark holes in the eyes.

In such a terrifying atmosphere, even the air became thin and turbid.

"This was originally the dungeon of the fortress, where prisoners of war were held, but later many people died in this place, and they all died overnight. Because there was no place to bury them, they were all left here." Elena said in a very low voice. The voice said, for fear of disturbing something, "I haven't been here before, but people who have seen it here didn't find anything. Except for dead people and bones, there is nothing in this place."

"Where is the altar that the woman said?" Sirius looked around.

"Maybe it's hidden somewhere. Since it's the root of the curse, it can't be so obvious." Aiwen said, "First look for anything strange, I always have a bad feeling, It's like someone is spying on us..."

He looked at the stone coffin in front of him. There was no nameplate on it, so he couldn't tell who the person buried in it was.

Ever since he entered the castle, Ivan felt that something was hiding in the dark and watching them, but he found nothing.

Apart from the three of them, there was obviously no one else around.

"It's all good, it's better to hurry up, those damned owl ghosts are following up again!" Sirius looked back.

The three of them checked separately and didn't stray too far.

They are all in the same stone room, and if there is any accident, they can be rescued immediately with a shout.

A few minutes later, Ivan was next to a coffin. He found a square opening, which went straight down, and only a very thick rope fell on it. He stretched out his wand and cast a spell. Send out a ball of light.

The ball of light kept falling downwards, and it took a long time to stop. It was about fifty feet deep below...

What is this place for, Ivan is hesitating whether to go down.

This rope is obviously not a product that the castle should have originally, but was tied up recently, and it won't be too long...

Judging from the nearby traces, it seems that something went down through this rope not long ago!

When Ivan was about to call Sirius and Elena over, he raised his head and saw something appearing beside him.

It was a tiny owl ghost with a translucent light blue body, only the size of a palm, looking at him.

After seeing Ivan notice it, the owl spread its wings and flew to his shoulder.

Then, it flew down again and landed in Ivan's outstretched palm.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Ai Wen asked, this guy's behavior is really strange!

The little owl nodded and answered Ivan's question.

It didn't lose its mind, there was no hatred in its eyes, and it wasn't affected by demons.

"Wait a while, I'll draw that magic rune to help you restore your original form!" Ivan said happily.

He raised his wand, feeling that he would know something crucial from the other party.

But the owl didn't wait for him, but spread its wings and flew into the distance, and kept turning its head to signal Ivan to follow.

It flew to the chamber on the left, burrowed into an inwardly recessed compartment on one wall, and disappeared.

"Is there anything in here?" Ivan bent down and looked inside...

In the next second, he saw a mummy staring at him with big empty eyes, opening its mouth wide, with a ferocious and terrifying expression on its face.

Ai Wen took a step back, only to see the little light blue owl sticking its head out from under the skirt of the corpse, looking at him anxiously, as if urging Ai Wen to move faster. A slowly extending passage.

Aiwen hesitated for a moment before crawling forward, passing through the corpse and entering a small secret room.

In the center of the room, he saw an altar at a glance, the altar that summoned the devil, the root of all evil in the castle... .
