Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 1282
Leon pushed open the door.

A not-too-long staircase was exposed, and at the end of the staircase was a high platform with iron doors on both sides to lean on the railing.

When Angel came to the railing, he looked down and his expression froze instantly.

people!
Dense people!

In the huge underground wine cellar, it was full of people!
These people are wearing rags, and from the unique pattern on the rags, it can be deduced that when they are complete, they should be the costumes of servants.

Some of the female servants can still see the skirts of the maid outfits they wear, but at this time, they are basically naked, and their white bodies are very eye-catching.

But even so, there is no trace of charm.

Because they are all skinny, and under the thin layer of skin are bones.At first glance, it was like coming to the lower cell of one of the harshest slave owners.

The stench, the horror and the palpitations.

Originally, these people moved extremely slowly, posing in various weird poses, and their expressions were dull.But when Angel and the others walked in, perhaps smelling "human", they all raised their heads and looked towards the high platform.

After seeing Angel and his party.

In an instant, their eyes changed!
From godless to crazy, from gray to scarlet, his expression also changed from sluggish to excited and crazy, just like a beast that has been hungry for a winter, and after waking up, it is crazy about food.

Pairs of scarlet eyes stared at him in the darkness.It was like entering a damp cave and seeing a group of bats waiting to be devoured by blood.

Before Angel could carefully distinguish their appearance, screams, roars, and sly laughter were mixed together in an instant, and a pair of skinny hands stretched out, and they opened their teeth and claws towards the high platform where Angel and the others were. .

It's like a crazy believer who worships an evil god is dancing.

"Blood, blood...give me blood!", "The smell of living people, hee hee hee.", "Kill them, kill them!"

Everyone started to move and squeezed forward, but the iron gates on both sides of the high platform were locked, they couldn't squeeze in, they could only slap on the locks desperately.

The people behind didn't know what was going on in front of them, and kept pushing up, causing the rattling sound, which was the sound of bones breaking.

Some people who are too crazy even launched attacks on those around them.

When Angel was in a daze, he saw several severed limbs being thrown to a high place, and blood gushed onto them like a fountain, accompanied by the red light in their eyes, making them look even more eerie and terrifying.

"These people are all servants in the manor. However, the incident half a month ago caused them to be eroded by the red light, and they became what they are now." Leon's eyes were filled with compassion. Among these people, Basically, they are servants who have served the manor all their lives, some have watched them grow up, and some have been playmates of the two brothers since they were young, but now, all of them have turned into such a terrifying appearance.

"The food on the ground was put in by me. I put it in once a day, but no one eats them, not even blood food. They seem to only respond to human blood, but where do I go to get people?" Blood?" Leon: "For half a month, they didn't eat anything, and they were starved to the bone. But the strange thing is, they are still alive, even if they are missing arms and legs, they are still alive."

"They will only get excited when they see a living person, just like the legendary ghouls."

"Humans are not human, ghosts are not ghosts." Leon's eyes were watery, and his voice was a little choked up: "Sometimes I really want to set them free with a fire, but I think again, living to say There may be a glimmer of hope.”

Leon turned his head to look at Angel: "Angel, can you save them?"

Angel quietly looked at the struggling and twisted people below, tried to eliminate all external emotions, and carefully observed the people below.

Looking at their flexible movements, Angel thought that at least their bodies were still alive.However, this is not the case, all their bodily functions have stopped, and apart from being able to move, they are basically dead people.

But the strange thing is that they didn't rot, and there seemed to be some kind of energy in their brains, which was protecting the bottom of their last souls.

Seeing that Angel hadn't spoken for a long time, Leon seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while: "Sure enough, are they hopeless?"

Angel's expression was also very sad, but he really didn't know how to save them now.He could only look at Sanders for help, but Sanders stood aside, his eyes flickering from time to time, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't notice Angel's gaze.

Angel thought for a while: "My lord red hair, there should be a solution, right?"

Lyon shook his head: "Mr. Xiuyes told me before that saving them is tantamount to killing them."

Leon didn't know what this meant, he just thought that the mentor was saying that they were already like this, and if they were saved, it would be better to give them a happy ending.

"Hughes is right, saving them is indeed tantamount to killing them." At this moment, Sanders, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He took out his cane and tapped it lightly against the void, and a strange ripple spread out. .The next second, the crowd in the underground wine cellar suddenly fell silent.

"They maintain their current activity because of the mysterious power of the Scarlet Kingship in their brains. If they want to regain consciousness, they can only expel this power, but once they are expelled, they will lose their source of activity and will die immediately instead." Sang Durston paused: "They will eventually die, either by expelling that force to die now, or by waiting for the force that maintains activity to die out on its own, it's just a matter of time, and in the end they still cannot escape the fate of death .”

Sanders' words seem to have issued a death notice to this group of people.

It also caused Lyon to completely collapse. As the Viscount of Gru Town, facing his own people and the people around him who grew up with him, he was unable to save him. No one can understand this kind of pain.

Sanders didn't care about the life and death of this group of people. After he came to a conclusion, he began to think about the effect of Scarlet Kingship: "It seems that the mysterious power in their brains is the truth."

Sanders looked at Angel: "Maybe, if you were pulled into the abyss of depravity, you would become like them."

Angor closed his eyes, suppressed the desire to blow up, and let his mind catch up with Sanders again: "So, the effect of Scarlet Kingship is just to make them crazy?"

After a pause, Angel added: "Irreversible madness."

Sanders shook his head: "If you want to know, you need to do an energy measurement experiment. However, the mysterious power is difficult to measure, and I can't be sure of the final result. It is best to have more information."

Sanders looked at Leon, who was still in grief, and was silent for a long time. After Leon calmed down, he asked, "Do you remember how they behaved just after they were eroded by the red light?"

Leon said dully: "They are the same as now. They will show symptoms of bloodthirsty madness when they see a living person, but then they will not become quiet, even if there is no one around, they will go crazy. Probably locked in the wine cellar After a long time, they slowly became quieter."

"Being quiet is because of the self-resting nature of the mysterious power. When it is unable to actively absorb external energy supplements, it will focus on reducing consumption. This is the commonality of some special energies." Sanders explained: "Besides , no other abnormalities?"

Leon shook his head: "No more..." But as soon as the words fell, Leon seemed to think of something again: "No, there seems to be a little more. They will follow Master Eureka. Wherever Master Eureka goes, they will go , like a follower."

What Leon said made Sanders' eyes flicker.

"Is it puppetization?"

Sanders recalled that the royal courts of each generation of the Guman Kingdom were extremely loyal from top to bottom. Even though King Guman was extremely tyrannical, there had never been any objections within the royal court.Could it be that it was the Scarlet Kingship that turned them into puppets?
But the real puppets are actually easy to spot, just like the puppets in the antique shop in Zislade before, even if they have human souls, they can still be seen through at a glance.Perhaps, what the Scarlet Kingship created was not just mere puppetization.

But something like a soul imprint?
"But if the effect is really like this, why is Eureka herself affected?" Saunders was a little puzzled.

Angel explained the answer: "There is a "Blood Origin Retracing" magic circle on the Scarlet Kingship, and as far as I know, this magic circle is still in operation.In other words, the real owner of the Scarlet Kingship is not Eureka. "

Having said that, there is still a doubt in it. Although Eureka is not the master, she is the user. How can she use it against herself when she knows that the Scarlet Kingship is dangerous?

"It seems that we still need to get some answers from Hughes."

The topic ended here, and Sanders didn't say anything more, while Angel turned his attention to Leon beside him, who was still at a loss, with no expression in his eyes.

Angel looked down at the silent crowd. Although they were as thin as skeletons, he could still distinguish some familiar people from the outlines.

He saw the gardener Glenn who was closest to his mother during his lifetime, the doctor Dink who had learned earth medicine from Jon, the female knight Swatch of Zhongyuan who taught Leon knight skills, and the shepherd who grew up with the two brothers. Farandu.

Every familiar face tugged at Angel's heartstrings.

Angel couldn't bear to watch any more, closed his eyes and breathed continuously, trying to suppress the discomfort in his heart by the frequency of his breathing.

After a while, Angel opened his eyes and looked at his brother Leon:

"Is Teacher Jon all right?"

Leon nodded dully: "Jon is protected by the enchantment set up by the tutor of Huyes, and Subi is watching, so he has not been affected."

"What about Ollie, and the head maid, Mana?"
