As soon as he stepped into the main castle, he was immediately hit by a turbid and musty smell that had not been ventilated for a long time. This breath seemed to be carrying weight, hitting Richard's body, almost shaking his body.
Richard immediately blocked his breath and waited for the outside air to flow in. It wasn't until the air was no longer so turbid that he took a long breath, looked around, and looked at the empty main castle, which had obviously not been occupied by anyone for a long time.
At this time, I saw that the ground and furniture in the main hall were covered with dust, spiders in the corners had formed large webs, and some of the metal decorations on the walls were covered with rust, without any sense of life.
If the cat slave girl Heidi lives here, he doesn't believe it. At most,... she once lived here.
So where is the cat slave girl Heidi now? What happened after the other party finished writing the letter to him
Although his main purpose of coming to Moore was to explore the secrets of the Black Spirit King, after all, it was the other party who invited him to come in the first place and provided him with key information about the place name of Moore. If possible, it is better to learn more about the other party's situation, and at least make sure the other party is safe.
With this in mind, Richard walked towards the stairs, followed the stairs to the second floor of the stone tower, and checked the rooms one by one.
Finally, we stopped in one of the rooms.
This is a not very big room. Because of the shade, the windows face west, so except when the sun sets, almost no sunlight comes in. The whole house looks very damp and cold, like an ice cave.
The room was very clean and there were not many clues to be found. However, from the corner, Richard found a few unnoticeable black hairs stuck to the wall. They looked like... fallen from a cat.
He remembered correctly that when the cat slave girl Heidi came to Moore, she brought a black cat with her, which seemed to be called... Mi.
Mickey, well, that should be the name.
"So, have one person and one cat ever lived in this room?" Richard said to himself, staring at the room as he spoke, hoping to find more clues.
but none.
Richard's brows furrowed into knots and he said, "Is this all? Or are you using your clairvoyant eyes to observe the entire castle inch by inch? In short, I always feel that something is wrong here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Richard felt something alive move in his chest.
Um
Richard quickly reached into his arms and took out the moving object. It was the gift given by the clown - a white feather whose function he had never been able to figure out.
At this time, the white feathers are like the leaves of Mimosa being stimulated by some external stimulus. The barbules growing on the feather rachis swing with extremely small amplitude.
Richard's eyes flashed and he looked at the white feathers carefully. He saw a faint white light flashing on the white feathers, shining on the entire room and the main castle outside.
In an instant, most of the gloomy feeling of the entire main castle suddenly dissipated, and the vision that originally felt a little dim became clear.
This is!
"Breaking some kind of magical illusion that is not easy to detect?" Richard guessed.
Judging from the situation just now, Bai Feather has indeed broken an illusion. This illusion was exerted on the entire main castle. The effect was very weak, but it was also difficult to detect. It had some influence from very subtle places. If it weren't for Bai Feather, he really wouldn't be aware of it.
In this case, two things can be explained.
The first thing: the function of white feathers seems to be related to breaking illusions.
The second thing: There is definitely something weird about this castle, and it is definitely hiding some information—otherwise, why cast this illusion
After thinking about it for a while, Richard decided to put the matter of White Feather aside and first find out what was going on in the castle in front of him.
After making a decision, Richard narrowed his eyes and scanned every inch of the room with sharp eyes, hoping to find any clues.
But other than finding more cat hair, there really wasn’t much else to be found.
Richard pursed his lips slightly: "Can't you find it? In this case, apart from really using the gaze to see through the entire main castle, the only other way is to use the 'secret weapon'. Then... let's use it first" "Secret Weapon", I hope the "Secret Weapon" can be of some use and save some trouble."
After finishing speaking, Richard reached out and took out the suitcase from the space iron ring, placed the suitcase on the ground, opened it, and shouted: "Pandora!"
"Huh? What's wrong with me?" As soon as Richard's voice fell, Pandora quickly jumped out of the Eden world in the suitcase, looked at Richard and asked aloud, "You won't ask me to recite the ninety-nine table again, will you?" Let me tell you, I’m not afraid, I really passed it this time.”
As she spoke, Pandora took a deep breath, with an expression on her face that said, "I have been preparing for a long time, but it finally comes in handy." She recited loudly: "One one makes one, one two makes two, two two makes four..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Richard waved his hands repeatedly to stop Pandora, who was full of desire for expression, and said seriously, "You don't need to recite the Nine-Nine Table now. I'm calling you out this time to help you."
"Help? What's the favor?" Pandora tilted her head and asked in confusion, her voice slightly displeased. After all, Jiujiu meant that she had really memorized it this time - she had memorized it but couldn't show it happily. This was very strange. Angry.
"It's very simple." Richard said, "I lost something in this room. Please try and see if you can help me find it. Just like that time more than a month ago, you didn't accurately guess that I dropped something. Have you found your location?"
"Looking for something?" Pandora's eyes flashed, and she looked around with a frown. She looked at the room that looked like it had been licked by a dog's tongue, and couldn't help but ask, "What was that thing you dropped?"
"I don't know." Richard replied.
Pandora: "..." After being speechless for a while, she stared at Richard and shouted, "What do you mean you don't know?"
"Well, let's put it this way." Richard explained aloud, "My things were theoretically dropped. In fact, this thing should have been left to me by someone else, but it ended up being hidden in this room. Somewhere, of course, it could be somewhere else in the castle hidden outside the room.
This thing may be words, pictures, or other things. In short... it is quite special. Have you felt its existence? "
After Richard finished speaking, he looked at Pandora.
Pandora opened her eyes wide, shook her head, and answered frankly: "No."
"Really not?" Richard asked.
Pandora's eyes flashed three times, scratched her hair, and said with a distressed look: "Really not. Rather than looking for things, I... I'd better continue to memorize the ninety-nine watches for you. It's easier this way."
"unnecessary."
"Do I have to find something?" Pandora's expression became even more distressed.
"Think about it carefully." Richard said. Although he could see that Pandora's prophetic ability was probably useless, he did not give up completely. "Use your mind and feel it. There is really nothing special about it." Something exists nearby?”
"Use your brain?" Pandora tilted her head and said tentatively, "Is it okay to use your hands?"
"Um?"
"Just like this." Pandora said, and punched the ground of the room without mercy.
There was a "bang", like an earthquake, and the whole room shook violently. Centered on the location where Pandora's fist hit, a large number of cracks appeared and spread, and the ground and walls were quickly broken.
"Crash!"
A large number of fragments fell, followed by a slightly different "snap" sound, and a letter fell to the ground.
It turns out that there is a very secret secret grid on the wall that people who are not familiar with it usually can't find. However, Pandora punched it and transmitted the force, which directly shattered the roots of the secret grid and the letter fell out.
Pandora had sharp eyes. After seeing the letter, she quickly ran over, picked it up and brought it to Richard as if to take credit: "Richard, look, this should be what you are looking for. I found it for you - one punch Things that are not bad are obviously special. So, it is obviously much easier to do it with your hands than to use your brain, don’t you think?"
Richard: "..." I was speechless for a while, and couldn't help thinking: Is this a Pandora-style prophecy? If this is really the case, I'd better lower my expectations for this kind of prophecy.
With this thought in mind, Richard took the letter handed over by Pandora and took out the letter paper. I walked to the hall outside and started reading with the abundant light coming from outside.
