Hao Ren watched Igor fall backwards straight, and was helped by the housekeeper halfway, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Vivienne: "You left a mark, you didn't say it earlier, if I knew it, I would There is no need to take out the painting, and now I have to return it to others.”
"Didn't I just remember it now?" Vivian pouted, "And what are you going to do with this painting? If you really want to see it, I have a real person."
Hao Ren glanced at the portrait with regret: "Tsk... This thing looks quite valuable, but it's a pity that Lily poked a hole in it."
At this moment, Igor had recovered his breath, stared blankly at Hao Ren and his group, and finally his eyes fell on Vivienne: "Witch?"
Vivienne nodded, seeing that Igor was about to twitch again, she quickly added the second half of the sentence: "Hey, don't be afraid, I'm not here to settle accounts with you. Relax, take a deep breath—your ancestors back then Much calmer than you."
Vivian is talking nonsense with her eyes open. The ancestors of the Andre family knelt down when they saw her...
Igor clenched his hands on the buttons of his clothes on his chest, and his knuckles were pale because of too much force. He seemed to rely on this to determine the reality in front of him and avoid passing out again. He stood tremblingly, with an uneasy expression on his face: "Then you are here today because..."
"To help you deal with this evil spirit," Vivienne waved her hand, "Actually, I never thought that you are the descendants of that kid back then."
Igor looked nervous: "It's not because our ancestors violated the agreement back then..."
Vivienne waved her hands dumbfoundedly before the other party finished speaking: "Don't say it, don't say it, you spent three hundred years telling the story of that year, it doesn't match the situation at all, okay? The matter of the spirit curse has nothing to do with your ancestors, and I will not impose any punishment—in fact, I even feel a little sorry for you... Well, you can have time to talk about these things in the future, and now the important thing is the old one Shitou, I hope you descendants don't throw away your ancestors' things, if you really want to lose them, I might be really angry."
Igor waved his hands in a hurry: "Of course, of course... Oh, I mean, of course I didn't lose it. It's kept in the highest room in the castle, and I'll take you there."
Igor led a group of people towards the castle. Before entering the gate, Hao Ren looked up at this ancient building with a history of three hundred years. On the gray-black outer wall of the castle, he saw large expanses of ice and snow gradually shattering and dissipating into the air as if waking up from a nightmare. The entire castle seemed to be wrapped in a layer of crystal clear broken crystal dust and gradually sublimated. Under this wonderful and strange spectacle, the oppressive atmosphere shrouded in Andre Castle is gradually fading. The angry spirit left, and the weird magnetic field and space phenomenon it produced also retreated deep underground. The oblique sunlight sprinkled on the mottled arc top of the castle, bringing a warm and splendid feeling for the first time.
The servants in the castle have received word that the evil spirit has been defeated. They were coming out of the room one by one in surprise. Feeling that the cold receded, and the weird atmosphere that had always lingered in the castle gradually subsided, these people who had served the Andre family for many years were immersed in joy.
The corridors of the castle were full of servants walking around inquiring about each other's news, and a thin figure suddenly ran down from the nearby stairs and walked through the crowd to the group of people. It was Anna. The poor girl finally got rid of the voice whispering in her mind like a nightmarish, her spirits were extremely uplifted, and when she saw Igor, she rushed forward impatiently: "Dad, that voice, that voice! That voice is gone!"
"I know. I know," Igor couldn't bear the excitement, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor in front of Vivian. He pressed Anna's shoulder, "It's over. It's all over, good boy, the evil spirit will never appear again."
Anna stared at Hao Ren and the others with wide eyes. Her face was still pale from a serious illness, which made her look a little scary: "You really killed that evil spirit? But how is this possible..."
As soon as Hao Ren saw Anna, he couldn't help but think of the inexplicable things the other party mentioned about "Tanagus", "high-energy aggregated state", "sublimation" and so on. He suddenly realized that the strange knowledge in Anna's mind might be It is the key to uncovering the secret of the Wrath Spirit: "Anna, do you still remember the Wrath Spirit... that is what the evil spirit told you? Tanagus or something."
Anna couldn't help shivering when she heard the word, but after the whispering in her mind faded, she was no longer affected by fear. Those weird knowledge are just some incomprehensible memory fragments to her now: "Probably... still remember some..."
Vivienne looked at Anna: "Remember your memories carefully, I hope you can tell us everything that the evil spirit told you. Of course not now—you can go back and have a rest first. Restore your energy."
Anna looked at Vivienne suspiciously, and then at his father curiously. Igor quickly put on a serious face: "Listen to her, son, she is the master of the Andre family."
Anna was immediately surprised, but she didn't ask any further questions. Igor asked her to go back to her room to rest now.
"By the way, check on Akeem's condition and ask Dr. Freeman to confirm," Igor called after Anna. "He may still recover for a while, don't rush to untie the chain!"
"She doesn't look so scary now," Lily muttered. "When I saw her before, she looked weird from top to bottom."
Igor led Hao Ren and the others to the top floor of the castle. There were no servants wandering around on this floor. There were only four guards in black guarding the two entrances and exits. These four guards were obviously Andre The most elite bodyguards of the family, even when the castle was shrouded in supernatural phenomena, they did not leave their posts. Igor greeted the guards, then pointed to an unusually heavy metal door: "It's just behind this door."
After entering a complex set of passwords and verifying irises and fingerprints, the door to the treasure house slowly opened, revealing a brightly lit small room inside.
There are only a few display shelves in the room, on which are some of the most precious collections of the Andre family: two ancient sabers, some useless documents, and a gray-black The eye-catching triangular "stone".
"Oh, that's it." Vivian saw the small stone in the middle of the room at a glance. Igor lowered the bulletproof glass shield with the alarm device around the stone. flew over.
"Oh, just three hundred years ago, you would think it's a rock." Hao Ren took the "stone" and looked at it over and over again. "It's obviously something man-made."
It is a device the size of a cigarette box, with a texture between stone and metal, with several raised ridges on one side, and some sunken pits on the other side. Hao Ren had never seen this kind of thing before, but its regular polishing traces undoubtedly came from the superb processing technology.
This is the "stone" that Vivian gave to Andre's ancestor three hundred years ago.
"Yes, it is man-made at first glance, but no one knows what it is, it can only be called a stone." Vivian curled her lips and turned to look at Igor. "You said this to Ender. The Lie family has brought huge wealth? How did you do it?"
"It's gold." Igor took the small device and stroked its ridges in a certain order, "I can still demonstrate the process of it opening a space exit, but the things inside have been destroyed by my ancestors." Take it away, the Andre family's original wealth came from this... "
As soon as Igor's words fell, the front of the small device in his hand suddenly projected a purple light, and the light flashed across the air, opening a space gap about one meter long. Igor put the small device on the table next to him. He walked over and stretched his hand into the gap in the space, with an expression of awe on his face: "Incomprehensible supernatural phenomena... I can put my hand in, from here Take or store something. It was full of gold—the witch's property."
Vivian stared dumbfounded at the "gadget" she handed over to her human servant back then, with a dying expression on her face: "... I almost got rich back then..."
Hao Ren patted her on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, if it's really in your hands, it probably won't last for three days before you have to throw it away."
Vivian was about to cry: "Why didn't I study it for a while back then!"
Lily pointed out sharply: "It's because of you that you didn't study for a while, and even if you did study for a while, you still couldn't find the password to open it—you can't make a fortune in this life, this is the big universe. will."
Vivian: "..." (to be continued~^~)
