Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2143 The Castle
"He's gone..." This sound is very strange, it sounds like a real sound, and it seems to be a fluctuation at the energy level.

"Let's go." As the voice fell, the empty corridor fell into silence again.

There is no slight fluctuation in the material world, but in the field of vision where the energy is, a figure... no, more than one, dozens or hundreds of figures, passed through the stone wall in the corridor, entered the void, and disappeared.

……

Apocalypse Continent, Central Empire.

The gondola pierced through the sea of ​​sky, with white foam rising from the bottom of the boat, and sailed leisurely towards the city of Saint Sam behind the central mountain range.

Just when they were about to arrive in Saint Sam's City, Angel noticed that the little Sam on the opposite side began to become restless.

His eyes flickered, he clung to the edge of the boat, and kept looking down.

The morning star has just risen, and the sky is still only slightly pale.There is a faint cold fog in the air, the visibility is not high, and there are not many scenes overlooking it. You can only see the outline of the landform with the naked eye, but little Sam still tries his best to see it.

Soon, the gondola came to the side of the central mountain range, and from here the bustling lights of Saint Sam City could be vaguely seen in the distance.However, little Sam didn't pay attention to the distant city at all, and still overlooked the land.

Suddenly, the cold fog below dispersed slightly, and little Sam saw a lake.

His eyes froze suddenly.

Angel could clearly see that little Sam's throat moved, and there were complex and mournful emotions in his eyes.

Angel was a little curious about what little Sam saw that made him so emotional.So, he allocated a bit of mental strength, leaned out of the gondola, and looked down——

The night has not yet been driven away, and there is a cold fog under the clouds.Between the turbulence, you can vaguely see a clear lake on the mountainside and an ancient castle hidden in the dense forest beside the lake.

The old castle was surrounded by black iron fences, and it looked deserted for a long time. Even the road at the entrance was covered with wild smoke and weeds.

"Are you concerned about the castle below?" Angel said softly.

Little Sam turned his head, with surprise in his eyes: "Can Mr. Pat see it?"

"Well, it looks like an old castle that has been abandoned for a long time, and there is a statue of a lady covered with moss at the door." Angel described it casually.

Little Sam's eyes darkened slightly when he heard the moss growing on the lady's statue, and he hesitated for a while before he said: "...that statue is my ancestor and the founder of Saint Sam's City, Queen Rowling."

"Oh? In other words, the castle below belongs to Queen Rowling's clan, which is your old clan?"

Little Sam nodded slightly.

Angel: "Since it is Queen Rowling's clan inheritance, why is it abandoned?"

Complicated eyes flashed in Little Sam's eyes, and he shook his head: "It's only my mother's branch that has been abandoned, and the current main branch is still the royal family of the Central Empire."

"So that's the case." Angel did not make any further inquiries. Presumably this involved power struggles and stories of fighting within the royal family.

He is not interested in these.

Little Sam clung to the side of the boat. Seeing that the flying boat was about to leave the lake, he bit his lips and turned around and said, "Mr. Pat, can I... can I go to the old castle?"

Angel did not answer Little Sam immediately, but looked directly at him quietly.

"I know this request is very rude, but, but I..." Little Sam's face was flushed, and he couldn't find a reason for the "proviso", so he could only lower his head helplessly: "Forget it, I was rude gone."

Angel smiled lightly: "For the sake of showing me the way, I agree."

Anyway, they've already arrived here, and it's not too late.Moreover, Angel noticed that there was a familiar smell in this ancient castle. After thinking about it, Angel simply agreed to Little Sam's request.

Little Sam's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Angel full of gratitude.

Angor controlled the gondola to descend slowly, passing through the sparse clouds, and after a while, they landed on the lake.

The gondola has perfectly transitioned from the flying boat in the sky and the sea to the rafting on the lake.

Slowly cut through the water, and docked at the somewhat decayed pier.

After standing on the pier, they could already see the lonely old castle 50 meters away from here.

Looking closer, you can feel the hugeness of the castle.

Although the castle has been abandoned and is covered with moss and climbing vines, judging by Angel's appreciation of architecture, the castle was absolutely beautiful in its heyday.

It has the character of Saint-Symme, a famous art capital at home and abroad.

Even now, she looks like a lady sitting beside a secluded mountain lake.Just a little bit of dust.

"It is said that this castle was specially built by Queen Rowling for self-cultivation in her later years. It has been passed down for thousands of years, and was later inherited by my mother's line." Little Sam looked nostalgic in his eyes, as if to Anger Er explained, and always said to himself: "Looking from the castle to the lake at night, you can see a quiet lake full of stars, so my mother named this castle Star Lake Castle."

"Before there was any accident at home, I would come here with my mother every midsummer."

"The apple tree over there was planted by me and the gardener's son together; and the notch on that big rock was painted by me in a naughty way..." Little Sam said in a nostalgic tone, while Walk towards the old castle.

After walking to the iron fence at the entrance of the castle, little Sam finished recalling the pictures of the past summer.

"This place carries my childhood." Little Sam couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"You are still a child now." Angel said softly beside her.

Little Sam lowered his head: "In the past few years, the only one who said I was a child was Mr. Pat."

Little Sam said, and went to the gate of the fence.

Even if it is locked, after so many years, the rotten gate that has not been maintained cannot withstand the corrosion of water vapor. Little Sam just pushed the lock lightly, and the lock fell down, and the door opened.

Across the muddy road, little Sam walked all the way to the statue of Queen Rowling.

As Angel said, the statue of Queen Rowling was covered with moss, and the pure white statue seemed to be moldy, which made the sculpture showing the beauty of pure goodness a little more weird.

However, in the eyes of young Sam, Queen Rowling's sculpture is still what she looked like when she was a child.He stood in front of the statue for a long time before he walked around the statue and walked towards the castle.

Little Sam didn't notice that when he turned his back to the statue, Queen Rowling's eyes flashed with blood.

Angel did see it, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, but he didn't make any movement.

When little Sam came to the gate of the castle, he was still full of emotion and wanted to open the gate without hesitation.

However, just as little Sam was about to touch the doorknob, a force suddenly appeared from behind, pulling him back vigorously.

Little Sam staggered for a while, stepped back several steps, and finally stood beside Angel.

"Mr. Pat?" After little Sam finally stopped, he looked to the side with some doubts.

Angel's gaze was fixed on the dusty door in front of him. After a while, he chuckled and said, "I saw some interesting little guys."

funny little guy?Little Sam didn't understand what Angel meant, and he also looked at the gate carefully, and it was no different from when he was a child... No, there are still some differences. When he came here when he was a child, there was always Titian's servant in the air. It smelled of smoke, but now, it had a rotten and moldy smell.

It should be because of the proximity to the lake, the musty smell of the wood after the water vapor erodes it, and the smell of some dead rats.

Could it be that the little guy Mr. Pat is referring to is a mouse?

When little Sam was about to ask, a strange laughter suddenly entered his ears.

Hey, the laughter came from behind... Is there someone behind?Little Sam just wanted to turn his head to see who it was, but as soon as he moved his head, he felt darkness in front of him.

In Angor's sight, little Sam just turned his head, and his original clear eyes completely changed.

The whites and pupils of the eyes turned pitch black, with bright red blood flashing from time to time.The corner of his mouth also curled up in a weird arc, and he rushed towards the gate of the castle with extremely crazy steps.

"Possession." Angel glanced at the statue of Queen Rowling not far away, then looked at Little Sam whose expression had changed drastically, and said softly.

As if he didn't hear Angel's voice, little Sam ran towards the castle excitedly.

However, before he ran to the gate of the castle, there was another person in front of him.

It was Angel.

"I thought you would find a way to attack little Sam's soul, but I didn't expect it to be possessed." Angor looked at little Sam with dark eyes: "How did you do it?"

Little Sam tilted his head, did not reply, but evoked a strange smile: "Those who stop me, die—"

The voice was indistinguishable from male and female, and it was definitely not young Sam's voice.

After his words fell, Little Sam's nails began to grow wantonly, becoming sharp and pitch black in the blink of an eye.

"Death!" Little Sam waved his claws and rushed towards Angor.

After all, little Sam is just a mortal, even if he is possessed, it is impossible to become a superman in an instant.His speed is still restricted by his body.

So, little Sam didn't even see what happened, and the cold metal muzzle was pressed against his forehead.

It was a revolver covered with dark silver lines, which was held by Angel, and the muzzle of the gun was placed between the eyebrows of little Sam.

"Although I don't know what you want to do, but you dare to possess yourself in front of me, you may not be too bold... It's better to die completely."

After the words fell, Angel gently pulled the trigger, and a strange ripple shot out from the muzzle of the gun.

Following a shrill scream, a shadow of an undead with dark eyes and a face full of veins floated out of Little Sam.It also wanted to attack Angel, but before it could move, the entire spirit body had disintegrated and completely disappeared into the world.

With the disappearance of the undead, the color of Little Sam's eyes gradually returned to normal, and his nails also changed back.

Little Sam opened his eyes, his eyes were a little dazed and out of focus, and it took him a while to recover.

"Mr. Pat, what happened to me just now?" Little Sam vaguely felt that something was wrong before, but he still couldn't remember what happened before.

"It's nothing, just being possessed by an undead." Angel said casually.

"Death, death... Undead?!" Although little Sam didn't know the truth about the extraordinary world, he had heard of undead, the vengeful ghosts that often appear in story books.

"Yes, to be precise, it's an undead hidden in the statue over there." Angel was slightly puzzled when he said that: "Speaking of which, the power of that undead is very weak, but he can actually use it." Possessed, this really confuses me."

Possession, among the soul tricks described by Nice, is also a relatively difficult skill.Generally, the undead who have accumulated resentment for at least ten years can learn it by chance.

But the undead just now, who has been dead for at most five or six years, actually knows such high-end skills?
Little Sam experienced life and death in one day, and saw a corner of the extraordinary world on the gondola. Therefore, after hearing the news of the undead, he was shocked at first, but quickly accepted this setting. He even asked curiously: "Why are there undead here?"

Angel: "The death and resentment here are very strong. It is estimated that many people have died in these years. In this kind of place, it is easy to gather undead."

The reason why Angel agreed with Little Sam to come to the castle was that on the one hand, it was "here we are", to repay the credit for Little Sam's leading the way; on the other hand, he felt that there was a familiar atmosphere here.

This familiar aura was, without a doubt, extremely strong evil thoughts and death aura.

The gathering of these evil thoughts and dead energy turned this originally quiet and beautiful castle into a real...ghost castle.

"Sir, do you mean that there are still undead here?" Little Sam swallowed his saliva, and looked at the dark old castle nearby: "Are there any inside?"

Angel nodded: "Of course, except for the undead before, all the other undead... are inside."

When little Sam heard this, his cheeks turned pale with fright.

"The little guy Mr. Pat just mentioned, could it be..."

Angel nodded: "Yes, I mean the undead. For example, the one at the door at this time."

Little Sam froze for an instant, only feeling a chill on his back, as if he had entered slow motion, his head slowly turned back, and then he saw a long-haired woman floating at the door.

When the little Sam looked over, the long-haired woman raised her face covered by her hair.

Protruding eyes, bruised and purple dead marks, and a dangling... tongue that has turned black!
Seeing this scene, little Sam was so frightened that he sat on the ground, rubbing back repeatedly, his lips trembling.

Now he finally understood why Mr. Pat pulled him back, because the undead were there!
"Not just the undead at the door, the window over there, the eaves in the upper right corner, the chimney on the top floor, next to the flue on the second floor..."

Angor's voice continued to come, and every time he said a word, little Sam saw the corresponding position, and there were terrifying shadows that appeared and disappeared.

In just a few seconds, the seemingly empty castle suddenly became very 'lively'.

"...there are undead."

At least 30 undead appeared in various parts of the castle.

And at this time, they will all look at Angel and Little Sam at the door with vicious eyes.
