Below the closet is the east room of the wine cellar in the basement. In it, the two encountered a skeleton holding a wine glass and pouring wine into its mouth. It sat cross-legged on an oak barrel, and the lid of the barrel was a wooden grill, so the wine poured into the skull would re-enter the barrel along the bone, and then scooped up by the skeleton with the somewhat eerie white bone wine glass.
Except for the splash of wine, this almost constitutes a never-ending cycle, which doesn't look very scary, but rather funny.
The skeleton found the two people who landed from the hole, but it just turned its head and glanced, then continued its "drinking" action. This thing was indeed marked on the map in Jenkins' hands. Although it was in the castle, it was still a friendly target. Although it is an object that can be interacted with, as long as it is ignored, it will not talk to anyone passing by.
It was Miss Syluf who provided additional information. Although she hadn't passed by here in her previous adventures, she knew that such neutral monsters in the castle had information about the castle. In addition, if you are willing to pay the price, you can also exchange some items from these monsters. These items do not belong to the castle but only belong to the monsters, so they can be taken away from the strange land.
"It's just what my companions told me, but it hasn't been verified."
Miss Elf said nervously.
Jenkins thought for a while, but instead of continuing to walk, he temporarily stopped and approached the skeleton.
"Do you have any wine?"
The skeleton suddenly turned its head and asked the two of them in ancient elf language. Miss Syluff shook her head hesitantly, and Jenkins replied:
"I have no wine, but I have a glass."
As he said that, he took B-03-1-8383 [Secret Wine Cup of Fear] out of his backpack. This is a Class B extraordinary item that Jenkins obtained in the "Spiritual Event Mutual Aid Club" a long time ago. This wine glass not only has the function of spreading fear, but more importantly, it can brew fear into spiritual wine.
To make it work to its fullest, the goblet was lent to Dolores by Jenkins to gather fear in places like prisons under the authority of Her Royal Highness the Princess. In order to be fully prepared this time, Jenkins also brought this wine glass.
Any item that can increase the user's spirit is extremely valuable, but now it is the last moment, and Jenkins understands what can be discarded and what he needs.
"Nice glass."
The skeleton stopped scooping up wine from the barrel under him, and said in an extremely monotonous voice.
"I want to exchange this cup for something from you, is that okay?"
"Can."
The skeleton nodded, pointing its finger bones to the wine barrel under him:
"Your glass is nice. I can exchange mine for a glass of my wine. My wine is nice enough to make you..."
It pointed at the elf, and the elf hid behind Jenkins with some uneasiness.
"It takes you to the next level in no time. It makes you..."
It pauses:
"Quenches your thirst."
"No, we don't need your glass, or your wine. I want some information in exchange."
The soul flames in the skull's eye sockets flickered a few times:
"You can ask, but I don't have to answer. When I think I have answered enough, you must give me the cup."
"what do you think?"
Jenkins asked his companion, Miss Syluff thought for a while:
"Maybe you can try it, but your cup, do you really have to pay for this kind of place? I have some good things on me too..."
"No need."
Jenkins politely refused, not ashamed to say that the things on the other party were actually worthless.
"Okay then, the first question, who is the lord here?"
This is what he is most worried about. The old butler outside the castle has been hinting at this role. Jenkins is very worried that the returning Lord will be something more terrifying than the power of the Calamity Beast.
"You don't need to know this, the lord will not appear. This is the separated area, the lord has no time to look at this corner."
It said that Jenkins was more at ease.
"Do you have any questions?"
He asked Miss Elf again, who thought for a while:
"Do you know the butler outside the door?"
"I know, the guy with an impure mind should be in charge of handling the castle, but instead made the castle what it is now for himself. Before returning to the lord's world here, if it can't find a way to go to your world, then It's dead."
When the skeleton said these words, his tone was finally no longer so emotionless.
"Then it's my turn again, we want to get out of here, can you just tell us where the door is?"
"Of course not, although I do know, but we all have to obey the rules."
Jenkins was not disappointed because he had already guessed that this would be the result, but motioned the elf to continue asking. Miss Syluff frowned and asked:
"So, what do you know about the paintings in the hidden room on the second floor?"
Obtaining that painting is a task that must be completed after obtaining the map. The four monsters that need to be defeated, Syluf can also provide some references for Jenkins, but these additional tasks are completely different from what she experienced.
"I haven't been there, don't know."
"And what about the scarlet gem in the tower on the right side of the castle?"
asked the elf again.
"I know this. The gem at the top of the tower on the right is related to blood, reproduction, and curses. You'd better not touch it, or you will definitely become a lunatic thirsting for sex. He doesn't care, but don't hold it for too long Time... You can only ask one question, whether I can answer or not, you must give me the glass, I have not tasted fear in a long time."
Just the news about the gems is worth Jenkins' wine glass. He nodded and passed the wine glass directly:
"Forget about the last question, this one is yours."
Without any hesitation, the skeleton snatched the cup from Jenkins almost as if grabbing it. Putting the wine glass on his face and rubbing it on his face for a while:
"I know what you mean, but since I took your things, I won't take advantage of it. The castle was invaded by something that smells like organic oil, and the damn old butler made a deal with it, and even got a moonlight Bright and noble shadows. The steward will definitely not let you leave easily, the only weapon in the castle that can cause damage to the steward within the rules is on the highest level of the castle. It is not the tower, but the highest level in the center of the castle."
