Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 237 Rainbow Six
After stuffing a few aquamarine crystals into Isa Sandria's hands as payment for buying a house, Xia Houyan found an excuse to send this femme fatale away.

Master Laurie stared at Isa's curling back, and with a teasing expression on his face, he elbowed the lord lord:

"Are you driving your fiancée away?"

"Otherwise?" Xia Houyan glared at his chief mage, "Should she stay and play the Marne card with me?"

All joking aside, Master Laurie and other high-level leaders of Frost Maple Ridge quickly returned to the topic.

No matter what Isha said, the "haunting" of Igor's old house is true or not, but the atmosphere in this house is definitely a bit weird.

Even Master Laurie, the lord, and Lena, the magic talents present, could vaguely feel the ghostly magic power permeating the air.

Miss Katerina and other high-ranking members of the family who are not capable of fighting quickly left the house under the signal of the lord. It will harm the fish in the pond.

Soon, there were only a few real warriors left:
Mr. Xiahou, Master Laurie, and Lena Leslie, these are three magical talents;
Clement, Alice Comstock, and Eldridge, who have basically recovered from their injuries, are three generals who can rely on force.

Even the weaker Knight Commander Cousins ​​and Chris Mann were sent by the lord to protect Katerina and were excluded from the ghost exorcism team.

In fact, Xia Houyan originally wanted to ask Beglad, an elf mage who followed the convoy all the way to the imperial capital, to help out, but unfortunately, since the convoy entered the city, this guy went to the Stardust Protectorate embassy to meet his relatives. Can't get in touch with each other.

But looking left and right, the current six people are still too overqualified to deal with a house;

Not to mention the Xiahou official who is as relaxed as returning home while soaking in the magic power of the nether world, it is only composed of a junior magister, a fire-type intermediate mage, a death knight, an elite swordsman, and a lazy dog ​​who fishes. The luxurious lineup is more than enough to fight against a small army.

At this time, the expedition team of the Igor family finally lost the desperate spirit of pinning their heads to their belts in the infected area. Master Laurie and Lena Leslie walked around the gloomy mansion for seven days. After eight laps, after thoroughly confirming that there were no dangerous magic traps nearby, Eldridge led the way with a sword and led the team into the ancestral home of the Igor family.

Just stepping into the creaking door panel, the familiar feeling of deja vu came over my face.

The structure and layout of this mansion are exactly the same as the old house of Igor's family in Xia Houyan's vague memory, without any change;

However, in the former Igor's house, the vision is filled with luxurious gold-inlaid furniture, goshawk family emblems everywhere, and housekeepers and servants who are meticulously dressed in tuxedos and maid outfits;
But now...

As soon as they entered the door, what greeted everyone in the Igor family was a huge, gloomy sign with man-made spider webs:
The scariest haunted house in Haven mainland!
The scene of the mysterious nobleman's treason case!

Surrounded by ghosts, ghosts linger!
The decapitated ghost of Duke Vincent Igor still haunts today!
"My mother..." Xia Houyan cursed.

He never expected that his father, a dead ghost, could be used by that wicked rich businessman as the background of a haunted house story!

Under the lord's signal, Alice Comstock, who had already been filled with righteous indignation, drew out her sword decisively, and cut off the rope hanging the signboard with one sword, causing this vulgar advertisement copy to fall to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust .

After getting rid of this unsightly and immoral signboard, everyone has time to look at the specific situation inside the old house.

I have to say that the decoration style of this mansion...

Really haunted house.

The vulgar kind.

The tattered curtains hanging everywhere are for the convenience of actors playing ghosts jumping out to scare people; the original open and bright central hall of Igor’s mansion has also been erected by the decorator with various deliberately old wooden furniture to create a sense of tranquility. The cramped and scary atmosphere; as for the large velvet beds in the corner of the hall... Xia Houyan didn't even bother to guess what they were for.

These child's play decoration skills, of course, can't scare the strong men of the Igor family at all;
If it is true, some members of this expedition team are undead even more undead...

But after a while, everyone raised their vigilance.

Because since stepping into the door of the house, everyone can feel that there is a mysterious and inexplicable faint chill in the air, which invades the muscles and bones;
As for the three magicians, Master Laurie, Xia Houyan and Lina, they immediately recognized the extremely obvious fluctuations of ghostly magic power in the air.

This house is really full of ghosts!

Eldridge, who was at the forefront of the team, quickly raised the large bronze shield with a simple pattern in his hand, protecting the lord behind him——

In view of the fact that this operation is an indoor adventure and a pure CQB operation, the dark sword that Eldridge is used to can't be used at all, so at the suggestion of the lord, this martial arts commander of the Eastern Region, Gracefully replaced the short sword and shield with the main defensive function.

But ever since he picked up the shield, Xia Houyan always felt that Eldridge always seemed to have the urge to lie on the ground and roll around, swinging his dagger to cut off other people's toes, and he didn't know why.

So, under the cover of the two heavily armored fighters, Eldridge and Clement, everyone cautiously advanced into the room.

The ancestral mansion of the Igor family basically adopts the most popular structural design among the imperial nobles. The center of the ground floor is a dome hall, which can usually undertake the functions of holding banquets and dances. From the curved escalators on both sides of the hall, you can Go up the corridor on the second and third floors.

However, Eldridge was about to lead the team upstairs, but was suddenly stopped by Master Laurie.

"The source of the fluctuation of magic power is not upstairs!" The master said uncharacteristically serious, "Go to the garden!"

——Although under the protection of the big brother Yan Wangye, the Xiahou official sees the magic power of the netherworld just like his own son, but when it comes to the sensitivity to the subtle fluctuations and rhythms of magic power, he is nowhere comparable to a man Gen Zhengmiaohong's junior magister.

So the team immediately turned around, ignored the curved escalators on both sides, and headed straight for the central garden of Igor's mansion.

From the hall on the first floor of the mansion to the central garden, there is basically no detour. Just go straight through the hall and open the garden door at the end of the first floor, and you can see the iconic golden goshawk sculpture of Igor’s mansion The fountain is up.

This central garden is embedded in the courtyard of Igor's house, surrounded by buildings, and the light conditions are much worse than those in the back garden. Therefore, even in the past, no flowers were cultivated, and some plants that hate light and shade are mainly planted. Shrubs - Of course, after the wealthy businessman's "haunted house transformation" project started, these shrubs were all replaced with dry dead trees.

However, after the group of Shuangfengling entered the central garden, they felt the eerie feeling that did not come from the decorative trees and the layout of the house, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop rapidly.

And when they looked up at the sky, Qiqi was startled by what they saw.

You know, when they entered Igor's old house, it was noon in the imperial capital and the sun was just right;
But looking up at the sky at this time, outside the courtyard, you can see neither the bright sunshine nor the blue sky, but only the thick haze that is unique before the rainstorm!

Xia Houyan and Master Laurie looked at each other deeply with sympathy:
The two magicians certainly knew that this was the vision formed in this central garden due to the high concentration of ghost magic power: the haze in the sky did not really exist, but just the erosion of human senses by the strong ghost magic power.

All the people present, except for Xia Hou, who was indifferent, and the other magicians and warriors, all had the urge to tremble...

Oh no, there is one exception.

Death Knight Juan Clemente stood in the nether magic power, sighed contentedly as if smoking a big cigarette, and immediately attracted the dissatisfied eyes of other teammates:

The Thorn Knight of the Empire 800 years ago had long been accustomed to soaking in the ghostly magic sauna in Simon Adrian's underground laboratory, and even his own existence was largely composed of ghostly magic—for the injured For newly recovered death knights, the ghostly magic in the air is simply the highest quality tonic and health care product.

"My judgment is not wrong!" Master Laurie, who has always been deflated recently, finally waited for the glorious moment to prove his worth, "The concentration of ghost magic power here is a bit higher than that in the room just now! If I guess If you are right, this is probably the source of the gloomy atmosphere in the entire mansion!"

Xia Houyan hadn't had time to respond to Master Laurie's Wang Po selling melons, and suddenly, together with other horse boys, he heard a illusory scream——

"Damn it!" Eldridge yelled.

"It's a wraith!" Master Laurie corrected in technical terms.

Whether it is a zombie or an undead, the undead creatures that the Igor family has come into contact with in the past basically have a physical body. It is also an inseparable part of the undead species since ancient times.

It is precisely because of the variety of undead creatures that the three disciples of Simon Adrian, an expert in necromancy, respectively studied the "necromancy" school that focuses on manipulating corpses, and the "ghost" school that focuses on manipulating pure ghost magic power. "Spell" school, and the "Spiritual Art" school that focuses on the study of resentment, fear, and spirits;
As for the experienced Master Laurie, just a scream is enough to recognize that in this central garden, there must be an invisible wraith condensed from resentment wandering around!

In various senses, this invisible and intangible wraith is a super low-profile version of Messi who is on vacation;

Therefore, while Eldridge, Alice and other warriors were still looking around vigilantly, Mr. Xiahou had already recited a spell that he had prepared for a long time, and then stretched out his hand and gently squeezed the air.

Amid the increasingly shrill and ear-piercing screams, an ugly gray-white face quickly condensed into shape in the air, and then disappeared with the gentle wave of the Shuangfengling Lord, as if blown away by rain and wind.

For some people, killing a wraith is actually no different from crushing a fly.

With the dissipation of the wraith, the haze in the sky and the cold atmosphere in the air became much weaker in an instant.

"Small tricks." The lord waved his hand, stopping the flattery of his subordinates.

"There is still ghost magic power in the air!" Only Master Laurie sniffed it with his nose, "So, this wraith is not the only source of ghost magic power here - it's the fountain!"

After Master Laurie gave an order, Clement took two steps forward, stretched out his giant rune sword, and slammed on the base of the statue of the Golden Goshawk Fountain, which symbolizes the ancient heritage of the Igor family. The emblem sculpture fell to the ground, smashing countless garden tiles.

Xia Houyan didn't care about his own sculpture, so he hurried forward two steps. Sure enough, in the center of the dry fountain pool, at the original site of the statue's base, he found an iron plate deeply embedded in the stone surface——

— In other words, a secret door to the basement.

The lord suddenly lost his temper:

Those of you who have something to do with the magic power of the ghost, are you still selling anti-theft doors part-time, right?Why is there an iron gate blocking the way everywhere?
Clement lifted the giant sword and was about to pry open the iron plate, while the bored official Xiahou muttered with his hands in his hands in accordance with the old habit:

"One thing to say, Simon Adrian is a handsome guy..."

There was a loud "bang", and the iron plate on the garden floor bounced off, directly smashing the death knight who was about to pry open the door.
