"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
The word "Scholar of the Original Sin" is not in the Delarion language. It took Shad a while to understand the meaning:
"What is a Scholar of the Original Sin?"
"Then you are not."
The strange old man shook his head and led Shade back to the hallway:
"Your sins are high enough to go to the highest floor. Guest, please follow me and you will get what you want."
After that, he ignored Xia De and walked towards the stairs again. Xia De immediately followed him. If you walk around randomly without a guide in the Sin Mansion, you are very likely to be attacked by the things living here.
The interior decoration style of this building is quite uniform, somewhat similar to the appearance of those noble old houses after installing gas pipelines. The golden decorations on the stairs and the paintings on the cracked walls all show the grandeur of this place when it was still an ordinary house.
However, the red carpet on the ground made Shade feel very uneasy, because in the observation of Blood Echo, there was a red halo on almost every part of the carpet, which meant that the carpet was almost dyed with blood.
Soon they arrived at the third floor, where corridors extended to the left and right from the staircase. On one side of the corridor were windows, and on the other were rooms. There were rusty yellow metal doorplates on each door, but there was nothing on them.
But before the old man holding the lantern could lead Xia De to choose a direction to turn, the ground suddenly shook.
"earthquake?"
It wasn't a very strong vibration, and it didn't even affect standing on the ground. However, as the building itself shook, Xia De heard the sound of an explosion on the second floor. At the same time, the faces of the terrifying portraits on the wall all looked down, as if something went wrong downstairs.
"What happened? Was there another earthquake in Mount Sikar? Or was there an accident in this house?"
New changes have occurred in the Crime Mansion. As the ground shakes, the malice here deepens.
"This way."
The old man holding the lantern paid no attention to the strange vibration, and Shad's inquiry went unanswered.
He led Shade to the left, opened the third door and motioned him to go in and wait:
"The trader from the mansion will be here soon. Please wait a moment, sir."
When Xia De walked in, the door was closed by the hunched old man.
Shade observed the room. It was a large bedroom with a four-poster bed with pink curtains and gauze, a desk, a wardrobe and other furniture that looked like antiques. There were even two small doors on one side, leading to the bathroom and cloakroom. Shade had seen similar room structures in Miss Carina's manor and Aurora's mansion in Coldwater Harbor.
The room was still dim, with only the gas lamp on the desk on. The gas lamp was of a very classical style, completely different from the popular style in 1853. Instead of going to the desk, Shade turned around and grasped the door handle. After testing it, he found that the door was locked, but if he used the door key to open the door, it could be opened.
"The next step is to wait. Based on the experience of the ring sorcerers who have walked out of here in the past, a trader will ask me what I want to get from the mansion. Among the middle options on the list that should not be paid attention to, there is the option of leaving here at the cost of increasing one's own sins."
Thinking in his mind, he walked towards the desk. There was a piece of white paper upside down on the table under the lamp. Xia De was stunned. When he entered here just now, there seemed to be nothing under the lamp.
My eyes have caught the trace of the paper, on which a long-haired woman sitting in a rocking chair is outlined with very thin pencil lines.
The woman's body only took up less than one-fifth of the paper, but her hair took up almost one-third of the paper. Because it was only outlined with simple lines, the woman's face only had simple facial features. When Xia De looked at that face, it actually smiled.
"Um?"
A fatal sense of crisis made Xia De subconsciously raise the sword in his hand. This time, his reaction speed was faster than the sword in his hand.
Ding!
The end of the long black hair actually shot out from the painting, trying to pierce through Shad's forehead like an arrow, but was blocked by the sword of the Night's Watch.
"No, doesn't the information say that the current stage is completely safe? I haven't done anything illegal!"
Thinking in his heart, he thrust his left hand into the air, pulled out the bright yellow long sword, and cut off the long black hair that was trying to wrap around the Night Watchman with a twist of his hand. Compared to a broadsword, this long sword is more suitable for such an action.
Xia De quickly stepped back, squinting at the paper:
"Start a fire!"
The basic spell of igniting fire, as Shade's ring magician level increased, was no longer just enough to make the paper smoke. Moreover, due to the improvement of Shade's strength by the Sin Mansion and the elemental wine he drank at the God's Wine Party, the power of the spell was greatly enhanced, so the paper with the whispering element was ignited at once.
But as the black smoke billowed out, a withered green hand stretched out from the paper:
"This is obviously not the normal transaction process of the Crime Mansion. What happened? Is the relic out of control?"
The chain stretched out from Shade's right sleeve and wrapped around the hilt of the sword in his hand. The Night Watchman shook violently, as if he was disgusted by the chain of sin, but he did not break free in the end.
"Oh!"
He threw the silver sword suddenly, and the blade accurately pierced the palm of the hand that stretched out from the paper page.
A sharp wail almost pierced Shade's eardrums. Black ink flowed out from the blue hand, and the gushing ink even extinguished the burning paper.
The hand suddenly broke free from the sword, and the white paper with black edges swayed violently and flew high into the sky. As the paper page trembled violently, long black hair gushed out from the paper like a surging river.
"Although I like girls with long black hair, this is obviously not this type."
Pulling the chain of sin to retract the long sword, he quickly retreated to the wall to avoid the long hair that had already fallen to the ground. This was a physical entity, and it was difficult to cause much damage with the burst of moonlight. The other magic arts in the moonlight series that Shade currently mastered did not have the ability to cause damage in a large atmosphere, so -
The whistle blew and the bells rang. In the surging steam mist, a corner of the life ring appeared, and the Witch's Light Spirit Rune flashed with brass light:
"Feliana's Witch Light!"
He stretched out his right hand and shone the golden light into the surging black hair, melting everything. As the black smoke continued to rise, the hair quickly disappeared.
At the same time, Shade raised his left hand and drew the light of the silver moon towards the paper in the sky. The moonlight cut off the hair wrapped around the paper and disappeared, but then the Night Watchman was thrown out again.
This time, the sword completely pierced through the paper.
There was another shrill scream. At the same time that Shade began to feel tinnitus and headache, the paper exploded into pieces and the black hair disappeared. After the sword fell to the floor, silence returned to the place again.
The chains retracted on the ground with a rustling sound, and the hilt of the sword retracted into Shade's sleeve along with the chains and was held by Shade again.
He looked around the room vigilantly to prevent other attacks, but there were no other abnormal phenomena in the room.
Only the pieces of paper that were spontaneously combusting on the ground proved that something had indeed attacked Shade.
