Fairy’s Box

"It looks a bit like a bat's head, and a bit like a lion." Charlene commented.

"It seems that someone is demonstrating to us. Perhaps, we should also respond in some way." Yale stared at the pupils of the beast's head, slowly raised his right arm, and a group of highly condensed black flames hovered in the The palm of the hand is just around the corner.

"Welcome you two."

The pupils of the stone animal head showed a bright green light, and the entire stone statue turned from stillness to movement. Suddenly, the mouth uttered human words.

"What are you?" the green-haired girl asked, holding her chest in surprise.

"As you can see, I'm just an ordinary handicraft." The stone animal head twisted its neck at the top of the stone pillar as if it were activating the bones, and replied mildly.

"I've never seen ordinary crafts that can speak." The black-haired knight sank, stepped forward unmoved, and raised the black flame in his hand:

"No time for nonsense with you, answer my question or die."

"Please, I will have no reservations." It said politely.

"First question, what are you?"

"I am the beam here. Since the birth of this mansion, I have been watching everything here. Although I don't know why I am alive, as the two of you can see, I am indeed alive."

The stone animal head looked at the fire with some fear, but still maintained a rhythmic tone.

"You can pass the test on this question." Seeing that it cooperated, Yalei slightly restrained Hei Yan and continued to ask: "What's going on in this mansion? Who is the master?"

"As you can see, this mansion has been infected with the curse of this land and has become one of the sources, very dangerous. Its owner is the eighteenth Lord of Glamorgan, Earl Humphrey, my memory Tell me he's a powerful scholar-mage."

The pupils of the stone animal head flickered faintly, as if they were afraid of the fire, and they seemed to be reciting memories.

"You said this is just one of the sources of the curse?" the black-haired knight asked keenly.

"Yes, I only know the sources of the curse, the Dryad, the Dead Spring, and the Nightmare, but I don't know much about the details... After all, I'm just a beam, and I can't leave this mansion. "At the end, it exaggeratedly sighed.

"Now tell me, where is the source of the curse of this mansion, and how to break it?"

"The upper floor is the coffin of Earl Humphrey. After he died in vain, he combined with the curse here and became a new source of curse... The resentful spirits who killed him should have more Alleviate the curse a little bit." The stone animal head showed a thoughtful expression, slowly narrated, and added at the end:

"He is now a resentful spirit with powerful mana, and his strength is not much weaker than before him."

"Why did the mirror spirit die after speaking, and you have nothing to do?" Charlene suddenly came over and interjected.

"I am different from its rank. It is the slave of the earl, and I am the housekeeper of the earl of Humphrey, and the degree of freedom is higher... But from now on, it is no longer, and I will serve the new earl and lady. ." It said while looking at the two of them in a pleasing manner.

"What made you choose to turn your back on the old master?" Yale stared suspiciously at the stone animal head.

"Strength! My master, you are far stronger than my old master. He is not your opponent... I will never be stupid enough to fight you for him, because there is no chance of winning." The other party went up the steps and immediately Change their title to master.

"Wise choice, that's why you let that shadow attack us?" The green-haired girl looked at it mockingly, with a faint blue light shining between her fingers.

"I'm sorry, but I have to rely on it to test the abilities of the two of you." The stone animal head said in a humble tone.

"Do you think we'll let you go?" Yale narrowed his eyes with a cold light, and the index finger of his right hand had turned into a chain sword.

"Yes, because I'm useful to the two of you. I know how to get into the coffin of Earl Beverly... You need my help!" It seemed to feel something wrong, and hurriedly tried to persuade the two of them.

"Then the last question, can your head leave this pillar?" The black-haired knight changed his expression to a relaxed expression and asked in a mocking tone.

"If you don't break it, it should be fine..." The stone animal head closed his eyes resignedly and sighed, "Do what you want to do quickly. For the sake of what I said, please Hurry up."

"it is good!"

Before he finished speaking, a string of cold light suddenly flashed from the top of the stone pillar. The animal head of the stone pillar was instantly separated from the stone pillar, and Gulu rolled down to the ground.

Charlene bent down her slender waist, raised the jaws of the beast's head with her fingers, and said teasingly, "Take us to your old master now, Mr. Shizhu."

"As you wish, beautiful lady." Shi Shou opened his animal pupils and replied respectfully.

"Go ahead and tell us how to get to the top floor, I don't see the stairs here."

Yale signaled the other party to start leading the way. In fact, he could have jumped up to the top of the building like this. He was just worried that some strange mechanism would appear on it, and by the way, he tried to test this inexplicable leading party.

"Please open the door to the room on the right." It casts its gaze to a brown wooden door on the right.

"..." The two of them exchanged glances and walked over one after the other.

The black-haired knight walked to the door first and twisted the door handle directly, thinking that the door lock would be very slow, but who knew that there was a soft click inside the door, and the door was easily opened.

Looking inward from the door, the dark room is very wide, without any furnishings, it looks very empty, and the whole space is filled with a cold and damp feeling.

There are some huge oil paintings hanging on the wall, which are evenly distributed on the snow-white wall. On each oil painting, you can see blurred portraits, playing with various standing postures. Under the weak light, there is only a dark Outline.

"Please walk to the nearest portrait." The stone head who led the way said again.

"Let's go."

Yale carried the stone animal head and walked to the photo frame closest to him. With his powerful night vision ability, he could see everything clearly in this dark room.

The portrait is of a short old man with a candle in his hand. He hunched his body and held a half-burning candle. His face was full of wrinkles, and his mindless eyes narrowed into a gap. He stared straight ahead, with no expression on his face, as if he hadn't shown a smile for a long time.

"Please light the candles on this painting."

The words of the stone animal head startled the black-haired knight. He glanced at it suspiciously, and then pointed his finger at the candle on the oil painting, and then a black flame ignited.

Whoosh-!

The candlelight trembled in the air.

The whole bat oil painting instantly brightened, but the light source was the candle in the painting. This strange scene made Charlene, who was accustomed to strange things, stunned for a moment.

The candlelight in the painting gradually dimmed, and suddenly, a lifeless pale face appeared directly in the oil painting, and the two took a step back in an instant vigilance.

"Please don't worry, it's not a threat." The stone animal head explained.

Under their gaze, the old man with the candle in his hand gradually got out of the oil painting. His lips were dry, and his eyes were deeply sunk into the sockets, like two black holes under the weak candlelight.

At the same time, the door behind the two suddenly creaked and swayed, and the cold wind blew in, and the cold breath slightly eased the strong musty smell of the room.

The old man passed directly through their bodies, held up the candle in his hand, and staggered forward, walked to the open door, closed the door and reopened it.

"Please follow him, he can take you to the top floor." The stone animal head hurriedly urged.

"If you dare to trick us, you will die."

Yale warned it, then followed the steps of the old man in the painting with Charlene and walked out of the room together.

The originally luxurious rest room disappeared, and a corridor without light appeared in front of him. The corridor was long and silent. On the wall on the right were paintings. The images in the paintings were revealed under the candlelight in the hands of the old man. Some tall, well-dressed figures.

There are men and women in the picture, very expressive, some show a firm and persistent temperament, and some have charming and dazzling smiles on their faces. Some look indifferent and silent, some look honest and restrained, some give people a sense of shrewd and rational, and some look straight ahead firmly, with a resolute and firm expression.

"One, two, three... Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three!" Charlene counted it carefully. There were twenty-three paintings in total. After comparing the information she had seen before, she suddenly understood certain situations. Of course in the chest.

"..." Yale glanced at her, the two nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Following the old man in the painting to the end of the promenade, there is a spiraling staircase. The staircase seems to have been burned by flames.

The old man stretched out his bloodless, trembling hand, his right hand as rough as dry bark holding the stairs, and the other holding a half-candle as he slowly walked upstairs.

Just when they were worried that the old man was stepping on the stairs, a strange scene happened again in front of them. Where the candlelight shone, the stairs would reappear and become firm. After Jiao was about to collapse.

"Please don't leave the range of candlelight, otherwise we will fall directly into the cellar, which is not a good place." The stone animal head warned cautiously.

"A monster?"

"No, no, it's just that after falling there, it's difficult to climb up again." It explained quickly.

"Really..." Yale stopped talking immediately, just followed the old man's pace,
