Chapter 136 The Baron's Portrait

7days ago Fantasy Novels 14
There is something wrong with that.Klein said seriously and cautiously, pointing to the steps that separate the living room and the dining room.

He has seen it in the internal information of the Night Watcher that if a similar situation occurs in inspiration, it often means that there are evil and filthy things hidden in the target position. If you are not sure, it is best not to try to touch it, otherwise it is easy to lose your life. Sometimes, even if you just take a look, you will suffer irreversible damage.

Dunn followed and looked over. He was also very inspired and immediately noticed something was wrong. He turned his head to Klein and calmly ordered: You can divine and explore whether it will be smooth there.

Before entering the castle, the captain didn't ask me to divine, and was quite confident... This shows that he thought that hidden things might be more dangerous than resentful souls... Klein nodded silently, put away the revolver, and handed the cane to Fry next to him.

Then, he untied the citrine pendant inside his cuff, held the silver chain in his left hand, and considered suitable divination statements.

In an instant, his eyes turned dark, and there was an invisible breeze swirling around him.

Exploring the hidden places of the castle will be smooth.

Exploring the hidden places of the castle will be smooth.

……

After chanting it seven times, Klein's eyes returned to normal and saw the citrine pendant turning clockwise.

Although the amplitude is not large, it is indeed turning clockwise!

This means the exploration will go smoothly.

Klein, who has become a real fortune teller, immediately nodded to Dunn and Fry:

The danger is within the limits of the solution, or is not.

Dunn put the mutated Sun Holy Emblem on his left chest, reached out and pressed his silk top hat, walked quickly to the stairs, and searched for the mechanism with great knowledge.

After returning the cane, Fry, who had picked up the iron gloves, to Klein, he held the revolver and alerted around him, as if he was afraid that an enemy would suddenly appear.

I'm still not professional enough... In the field of Night Watchers... Klein cheered up, pulled out his revolver again, and took the initiative to guard.

After a few minutes, Dunn Smith, who had half-squatted down, suddenly made a heavy sound from Zazaza.

The floor there cracked, revealing the downward steps, a cold and dirty feeling filled with it, almost condensed into a solid body.

Dunn glanced at him, took off the seal on his chest 3-0782, and threw it directly into the secret door.

After a few jumps, the mutated Sun Holy Emblem stopped at some point.

If there were necro creatures inside, they would definitely pick up 3-0782 and throw it back... that would be interesting... Klein stared at the downward stairs and waited patiently.

The circling coldness and dirtyness quickly melted like ice and snow meeting the sun, and warmth and purity enveloped the entrance to the secret door.

Klein, we both go down, Fry stays in place to prevent other enemies from destroying the mechanism.Dunn made his decisions with great experience.

OKKlein did not frighten again, stepped forward two steps and walked to Dunn's side, while Fry nodded slightly, without relaxing his guard.

Pa, pa, pa, Dunn took the lead down the stairs, and the footsteps echoed silently.

He did not prepare things such as lanterns or torches, because for the extraordinary people of the Sleepless Sequence, darkness is not an obstacle, but a favor.

In such an environment, their sight is not affected.

After taking a few steps down, Dunn suddenly turned around and looked at Klein and said: I forgot that you have no dark vision. I am used to not preparing those lighting items...

...Captain, you don’t have to care, I have spiritual vision.Klein found himself not surprised at all.

The handsome captain just now is indeed not the norm!

In his spiritual vision, the darkness ahead was filled with gray. Although this was very blurry, it could barely see the ladder.

Well, the captain is very healthy and in good spirits... Klein is careful to stretch his feet and slowly walk down.

This section of stairs is not long, and after slanting down, it touches the ground.

Seal 3-0782 is lying here, emitting warmth, spreading purity, and shining with glimmer.

With this light, Klein saw it even more clearly. He looked around and found that it was a not-so-large basement. The original shade was gone, but the humidity was still there.

In the center of the basement is a black coffin with the iron nails on it in a dark red color.

The lid of the coffin has been pushed out into a gap, and you can see the white bones with headless bones lying inside.

Dunn looked around first before bent down to pick up the mutated Sun Holy Emblem.

Captain, this coffin, well, its function is to prevent the deceased inside from turning into zombies or resentful souls...

Klein looked at the dark red iron nails on the black coffin, examined their arrangement, and relied on his pretty good esoteric knowledge to identify it as an ancient ritual, a ritual to prevent corpses from transforming.

At the same time, he muttered in his heart: But under normal circumstances, who would be wary of the corpse of his relatives who had nothing to do?

Well, the people who help the burial may not be relatives... Well, put the coffin in the basement instead of in the tomb just because they are afraid of being discovered...

At this time, Dunn, who had worn the seal 3-0782, moved closer to the coffin and looked carefully for a while:

The deceased should have died of poisoning.

That is, the person who poisoned him and killed him used ritual magic to prevent his corpse from revenge... This should have happened 1,300 or four hundred years ago, right?In the end, he turned into a resentful soul... This idea was simply amazing!Klein also walked to the coffin and said, where is his head?That ceremony does not require cutting off the head...

Dunn thought about it and said:

I have a speculation that this resentful soul does not always exist, but has only appeared recently.It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the castle in the small town. The troublemakers of all generations must have come here often, but before this incident, there were no rumors of resentful souls appearing in the castle.

Klein nodded slightly:

Captain, what do you mean is that someone came here recently, opened the coffin and took the dead man's head?

Well, that ceremony prevented the deceased from changing, but it also locked its resentment in the coffin and kept it in disguise. When the coffin was opened and the ceremony was lifted, those resentment quickly turned into resentful souls with the help of its iron gloves...

The man who opened the coffin did not leave a body, he was not an ordinary person...and what did he do when he took the dead's head?

Dunn stared at the white bones in the coffin and said: In addition to the reason for the ritual, there should be the reason for the deceased himself. He may have been an extraordinary person during his lifetime, or a descendant of an extraordinary person at least in the middle sequence. Well, I mean the middle sequence in the previous definition, sequence 6 or sequence 5.

Such a corpse is always a bit special, and his head may come in handy in certain rituals and occasions.

Speaking of this, Dunn paused: What I said before was speculation, but some of them can be verified. Let's go to the town separately to investigate and see who came to the castle when he was a child and was injured here. Well, if he is still alive, it proves that the resentful soul has indeed appeared recently.

A logical way of thinking.Klein praised it and searched the basement again, but found no other items.

He tried to use ritual magic to depict the guest who had entered the basement, but because he had been separated by at least one month and his resentful souls wandered here for a long time, which affected the environment and failed to get effective results.

Afterwards, he replaced Fry and asked the expert in the corpse field to conduct further inspections.

Fifteen minutes later, as the sun was about to disappear on the horizon, Dunn and Fry returned to the castle hall along the steps.

The former groped to close the secret door, while the latter briefly described:

It was indeed a death from poisoning, and the traces on the neck only appeared in the past three months.

This means that someone has been here may be very big... Klein nodded thinking.

Next, the three night watchmen returned to Ramd Town before dark, booked two rooms in the hotel and got the seal 3-0782 members who needed to take this dangerous item to walk outside the town, and rotated every two hours, so only two rooms were needed.

After a simple dinner, Klein, Dunn and Fry immediately went to various parts of the town to ask the residents who had lived here for a long time.

In similar scenarios, the police's ID is particularly useful.

……

Officer, why do you ask about this?I remember when I was a kid I often went to that abandoned castle... and was injured?There must be some cases where the child could not fall or something. I remember, well, I was scratched by the sharp stones on the exterior wall of the castle... A man in his forties, with soft yellow hair looked at Klein in confusion and answered the question honestly.

This is the 14th person Klein asked about, and two of them clearly remembered that they were injured in the castle when they were young.

The captain's speculation was correct... Klein made a judgment, took back the certificate, and said with a smile:

Thank you for your cooperation, I have no problem.

He was waiting to leave without a cane when the man in his forties rolled his eyes and said: Police officer, are you interested in that castle?My family has a portrait of the first Baron of the castle, which is the grandfather of my grandfather... Well, it was a long time ago. He took a painting from the castle, which is said to be a portrait of the first Baron of Ramd.

Do you want to?This is a real antique!

If it were a real antique, your family would have sold it long ago... This guy is very brave, and the police dare to cheat him. Should I draw my gun and scare him later?

Klein said a few words in his heart, holding on to the mentality of not spending money:

Who knows whether it is really antique, I believe my vision and judgment.

Take it out and let me see it.

The yellow-haired middle-aged man immediately smiled and returned to the house, searching for it.

After a while, he walked out with a pair of oil paintings in his arms.

Klein casually swept the portrait on the oil painting and saw the first baron wearing a white curly wig with a soft facial features, bronze skin, and indescribable vicissitudes in his eyes.

This is like Mr. Azke!Klein's eyes suddenly widened and subconsciously looked at the right earlobe of the so-called first-generation baron.

Then, he saw an inconspicuous black mole nearby.

This is exactly the same as the location of the mole of Azk teacher!
