What Baihuo said was right, in the eyes of the demon hunters, this angry spirit sealed in the extreme north of Siberia was safe and harmless. Although there is a human family suffering from the infestation of angry spirits, in the eyes of witchers, people who summon evil spirits and cause disasters do not deserve sympathy-in fact, no one deserves sympathy in their eyes. China's wars have many reasons, but not one of compassion for ordinary human beings.
The standard for them to judge whether an anomaly is harmful is whether this anomaly has the potential to grow and develop, and whether it will threaten the demon hunter organization itself, and other than that, they are rarely distracted.
Therefore, they seldom trouble the angry spirits, at least not on their own initiative: most of the angry spirits appear in inaccessible places, and they are irrational, they will not expand their territory, and they will not manage power. The weird things among natural phenomena don't even need to be regarded as "enemies", so even if the human beings entangled by them are usually worse than death, demon hunters don't care much about this issue.
The Andre family provoked this terrible spirit creature three hundred years ago. They did not know how to restrain the angry spirit in the deep underground of their castle. Afterwards, the ancestors of this family began to search for the dark world. Help: They looked for people who knew witchcraft, they also looked for the church, and even sought help from some strange people. Their activities naturally fell into the eyes of the witcher, but the witcher didn't even bother to show up and ask about it.
The only thing that the demon hunters are interested in about this angry spirit here is that it has stayed in the material world for such a long time: under normal circumstances, a angry spirit does not stay in the real world for a long time, they are "monsters born from nightmares" However, a certain distorted world of the underworld is their destination, so the angry spirits usually dissipate by themselves after making a fuss, and the angry spirits underground in Andre Castle have been entrenched for three hundred years. It may be restrained in this place by the sealing device under the castle, or it may be that the "witch" ordered this angry spirit to torture the descendants of the Andre family for a long time to punish their disobedience, but anyway, this is special It didn't attract much attention from the orthodox demon hunter organization.
Nangong Sanba, a half-bait who wandered by himself, was the first demon hunter to intervene in this matter, and the day after Nangong Sanba was tricked by the angry spirit and returned to his hometown in seconds, Bai Huo also came here one after another. To be honest, if Nangong Sanba took action two days later, these two people would meet each other.
Now it seems that Bai Huo didn't know that Nangong Sanba had fought Nu Ling here two days ago, so Hao Ren naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.
"By the way, Igor didn't know that you came down to help?" Hao Ren saw Bai Huo leading the way and didn't speak. I had no choice but to find a topic to break the silence, "How did you get here?"
"Igor? Oh, you mean those people who live in the castle... I'm not here to help them," Bai Huo shrugged, "Although I think they are...deserving of sympathy, but my mentor said that sympathy The heart cannot be used as the code of conduct for a demon hunter. I just came to find my prey, so naturally I didn’t disturb the people in the castle. Oh, it’s just ahead.”
Bai Huo pointed not far ahead, and Hao Ren noticed that everyone had left the area with the most violent wind and snow at some point. There was a small mound in front of him, and a pure black building stood on the mound. The building was very odd, with rough fractures and cuts on the four walls, as if the whole house had been "torn out" directly from another, larger building. It was placed abruptly on the mound, and despite its man-made features, it matched the twisted and eerie surroundings. The whole atmosphere looked very strange.
"This is a part of the castle," Bai Huo pointed at the rectangular room, "it should have been a certain hall in the underground palace. It was torn from the castle. It was distorted and merged into the different space created by the angry spirit. I suspect that this house is a key part of the sealing system, so it can be preserved so completely. Wrath Spirit's attention wanders around this house, but it never dares to get too close to this place: the perfect foothold."
Baihuo stepped forward and pushed open the heavy iron door of the strange house, and the decayed ancient hinges creaked. The room was pitch black, and the white fire waved gently, creating floating sparks in the air to illuminate the surrounding environment. Hao Ren saw that it was indeed a relatively spacious hall, and he could vaguely see that it used to be the gorgeous decoration of the center of the underground palace—it's just that this place has become a part of a different space under the erosion and distortion of the angry spirit. It's all messy piles and weird black debris, only a small area in the middle has been cleared out, which is where the white fire rested for the past two days.
"Find a place to rest by yourself." Bai Huo walked in front, "Those black substances are soul sandstone. It is difficult to get spell-casting materials from the outside world."
The second half of her sentence was to Nangong Sanba.
Lily saw that there was a "good rock" she had never seen before, and immediately ran to explore with a cheer.
Hao Ren found an open space and sat down directly, looking up at Bai Huo curiously: "By the way, how much do you know about this castle and the angry spirits here? Let's exchange information."
It is true that Baihuo sneaked into the underground palace without the knowledge of the Andre family, but she also collected a lot of information about the castle before coming here. Those ancient books from a third party, she knew nothing less about the Andre family than what Nangong Sanba saw in the castle library. And this strange witcher lady doesn't seem to mind telling what she knows: "I did find out something... If you want to talk about the origin of the Wrath Spirit, you must mention the rise of the Andre family. Three Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of this family had served a witch together with another person: this was a common thing in those days. But then they betrayed the witch out of greed and conspired to steal the witch's two pieces Treasures. One of the treasures and the traitor who took the treasure have been unable to be verified. It can only be confirmed that the treasure stolen by the ancestors of the Andre family is 'wealth'... "
At first, Hao Ren thought he would listen to the legends from Nangong Sanba and Igor again, but when Bai Huo opened his mouth, it was completely different from what he knew, and he couldn't help it: "Wait a minute You said that ancestor Andre stole the treasure from the witch? Didn't he inherit it?"
"At least that's what I know," Bai Huo nodded earnestly, "And to be honest, it's very unlikely for a witch to give any gift to two mortal servants. It has already been considered kind-hearted, so the biggest possibility is that the ancestors of the Andre family teamed up with another human servant to steal the witch's things. The Wrath Spirit is undoubtedly a punishment."
"Human beings are unlikely to summon angry spirits, such things cannot be summoned," Nangong Wuyue nodded in agreement, "So Igor's statement is obviously untenable, it is probably the descendants of the Andre family They falsified the facts of the year in order to put gold on the face of their ancestors. I think the Wrath Spirits probably have something to do with the treasure they stole from the witch, so they got burned."
Hao Ren rubbed his chin in deep thought, and suddenly saw Vivienne staring blankly at her surroundings, he asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"
"I always feel..." Vivienne looked at the dilapidated hall around her, frowning tightly, "I always feel like I forgot..."
Before she finished speaking, Lily who ran to the side to "explore" suddenly yelled: "Hey! Look at you, I found something!"
Hao Ren hurried over to check the situation. Lily pointed to the wall of the hall: "Look, there are also portraits hanging here!"
It turned out that there were some oval photo frames hanging on the wall, and in the photo frames were the images of the Andre ancestors that everyone had seen on the upper floor of the castle, and perhaps because of the particularity of the Wrath Spirit space, the portraits in these photo frames were still very clear. However, there are only a few photo frames that can be found here: the underground palace was closed two hundred years ago, and since the last member of the Andre family who could barely fight against the wrath died of madness, no one has brought the new His family portraits were sent to this hall, so that until this hall was swallowed up and assimilated by the distorted space, the scene when the last Andre family member left two hundred years ago was still preserved here.
two hundred years ago...
Hao Ren suddenly thought of something, and he immediately turned his head to look at the end of the hall: According to the structure he saw in other parts of the castle, there should be another most special portrait hanging there!
But there was nothing there, only an empty stone wall where the portrait of the witch should have been hung.
Lily also guessed what Hao Ren was thinking at this time. She hurried over to check the wall carefully, and suddenly found that there were still faint traces of uneven color on the wall: it was obvious that something had been hung here.
Becky is indeed a mercenary who often digs into various ruins. At this time, her comprehension and intuition are amazingly strong. She guessed what she was looking for without Hao Ren asking. The soul sandstone churns, and soon she sees something with only one horn protruding from the black gravel.
"Found it! Here it is!"
Becky yelled happily as she carefully pulled the thing out from under the black gravel. It turned out to be a huge portrait, framed in a solid wooden frame, and even covered with an expensive layer of quartz to protect the painting.
Hao Ren recalled what Igor once said: In his grandfather's grandfather's generation, because a family member dreamed of a witch's vision and fell from the castle, all the witch portraits in this castle were added The veil was removed, and from that day on, no one knew what the Witch looked like.
But there is still an original version of the portrait of the witch kept in the castle: deep underground, in a different space that has been sealed by the angry spirit for two hundred years.
Lily and Becky carefully brushed the dust and gravel off the portrait, and a beautiful girl appeared on the portrait.
Vivian.
"Oh, I remember!" The vampire girl's voice came from behind, "I lived here back then!" (to be continued~^~)
