Quadruple split

As the sixth oil lamp lit up at Mo Tan's feet, the eerie hall of the mansion suddenly became brightly lit, and the two giant figures behind the window made an indistinct muttering sound and slowly disappeared. in the air.

Of course, because the place where Mo Tan was currently standing was still in the blind spot of the eyes, he had no idea until the end what the threat outside the window was that he could never afford to offend.

For the two trespassers, him and Yu Ying, 'survive' was the main theme of the previous few minutes. Without strong strength as a basis, even Mo Tan never thought of trying to get a glimpse of the outside of the house. That thing risked his life because of his dignity.

Although he never minds risking his own life to achieve his goals, he will never let himself die too cheaply.

"Well, except that the door still cannot be opened, the relatively dangerous section seems to have come to an end."

Mo Tan walked up to the door and kicked it twice. After making the judgment that "even if you use broken tea eggs to blast it, it may not be able to blast it open," he slowly returned to Yu Ying, who was still holding his head and squatting in defense. Beside him, he patted her shoulder gently: "Hey, it's okay. Get up quickly."

The latter shivered slightly, but instead of getting up, he lowered his head even further.

"Oh, quite obedient."

Mo Tan nodded with satisfaction, then quickly opened the message board and sent a message to the girl in front of him, 'It's me, I'm indeed fine.'

Yu Ying timidly raised her head and looked around with a pale face. The environment had indeed returned to a relatively normal environment. After hesitating for a while, she asked in a low and cautious voice: "Is everything okay?"

"Although I really want to tell you that it's fake and scare you to death with my gorgeous appearance, but since time is tight now, so..."

Mo Tan raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and said without any nervousness: "I am indeed right. If you don't believe it, you can try to see if you can take off my pants."

Only then did Yu Ying's pale cheeks regain some color. She stood up and said with a dry smile, "It would be great if there really was a monster as weak as you. I would definitely feel no pressure at all when I poke it."

"If this works, I don't mind if you think of all the monsters you encounter in the future as me."

Mo Tan casually played with a silver metal device with exquisite shape and compact size. While letting it fly up and down between his fingers, he said with a half-smile: "But I doubt whether you can use your full strength in that situation." .”

"I guarantee that I will hit with a flat chop and a cleave every time."

Yu Ying laughed dryly, then stared at the metal device in Mo Tan's hand curiously and asked, "What are you playing with?"

The next second, the rectangular metal device, less than the size of a palm, flew out from Mo Tan's fingers and landed steadily in the long scarf in front of Yu Ying's neck.

"See for yourself."

Mo Tan said lazily, then leaned over to pick up Yu Ying's [Soothing Lamp] and studied it with interest.

[Remark 2:? ? ? 】

"How can something made by this damn player have a question mark and a comment?!"

Yu Ying was shocked at that time. She stared blankly at this lighter, which was almost useless in the world of swords and magic in the Innocence Continent. For a moment, she felt that the mystery surrounding Tan Mo was growing exponentially. The reason Without it, can a player make a self-made product? ? ? This is really the first time she has heard of such a thing as attributes! Even if it’s just a note? ? ? It's appalling enough.

And Mo Tan, who didn't seem to gain much information from the [Soothing Lamp], just said "hmm" with no interest at all, without any intention of explaining.

"Did you really make this yourself?"

Yu Ying turned over and over to look at the dark silver, very exquisitely crafted lighter in her hand, with a clown's head carved on both sides using a large number of fine gemstones, and a very Zippo style lighter, her eyes shining: "Give it to me too. A whole one?"

Mo Tan sneered, and then took back the lighter from Yu Ying with a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and then smoothly stuffed the lantern back into her arms, grinning and saying: "If you are willing to pay the cost of the work, .”

"How much does it cost?"

"Thirteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty-eight gold coins, nine silver coins, and sixty-four copper coins. Just give me fourteen thousand gold coins."

"excuse me."

"It's worthless."

Mo Tan flipped his hand and disappeared the lighter from his palm. He glanced at the poor guy with delicate features and said: "Then, if there is nothing else, just move on. I said I don't have much time."

Yuyingliu frowned slightly, and after hesitating for two seconds, she finally asked: "So what exactly happened just now?"

"You want to buy a couple's lighter from me."

Mo Tan whistled and said with a smile: "But there is no money."

Yuying raised her eyes and looked at him with a weak tone: "You should know that's not what I'm talking about."

"Hey, you disappoint me so much. You don't look like a qualified complainer at all."

Mo Tan curled his lips regretfully, turned around and walked towards the spiral staircase mixed with moss and dust at the end of the hall, and said lightly: "To sum it up briefly, when you are pretending to be an ostrich, I am talking to someone who has nothing but taste. I chatted with a monster that was basically useless outside for a while, and then a more ruthless one seemed to appear outside, so I tried it with the previous monster, and the results were gratifying."

Yu Ying blinked and asked curiously: "What kind of happy method?"

"That thing that was at least a high-level peak level was completely wiped out in seconds."

Because he didn't want to hear about Yu Ying's gossip, Mo Tan omitted the details that the oil painting might have a positive effect on this task, and said casually: "It can be seen that we are definitely not able to mess with that thing outside. It was affordable, so I took advantage of its possible limitations and tinkered with it a little bit to restore the atmosphere of this big house to normal.”

Yu Ying, who was following Mo Tan, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then laughed dryly and said, "Although you did explain it very clearly, it still seems like it's all nonsense."

"Because I don't really like hindsight, but if you insist, I can also say something other than nonsense, as long as you can understand it."

Mo Tan stopped in front of the spiral staircase, and while leaning over to search the body of a young elf dressed as a maid, he said leisurely: "First of all, the sound of blood dripping we heard before was obviously something equivalent to ' Countdown', 'time limit' and the like, that is a very obvious reminder. If I guess correctly, if we fail to get rid of the 'vision' before completely hearing it clearly, we conservatively estimate that we will also encounter some Things that are extremely threatening may even directly trigger the instant death flag. You should understand this, right?"

Yu Ying nodded silently. Even though she was scared out of her mind just now, her intelligence had not dropped to a tragic level, so she could probably guess this kind of thing even if Mo Tan didn't tell her.

"Secondly. Oh, this little girl is quite promising. Secondly, it seems that this space has at least two floors."

While Mo Tan looked at the rotting corpse in front of him, which was almost unrecognizable, he said in a cheerful tone: "The first level is where we just entered this space and where we are now. According to these corpses, Judging from the degree of decay and a few other small details, this should be the end of a Scarlet Moon in the two hundred and twenty years between 8400 and 8620 of the Holy Calendar, and the owner of the manor should be..."

"Wait a minute!"

Yu Ying interrupted Mo Tan with a shocked look on her face, her beautiful phoenix eyes widened: "How did you know!?"

Mo Tan glanced back at her impatiently: "What do you know?"

"The time is from 8400 to 8620 or something, and the month is late Scarlet Moon or something!"

The girl's little face was full of disbelief, but she didn't think the other party was lying to her.

"This is something beyond your knowledge. Of course, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Mo Tan stood up and clapped his hands, leaned on the pillars of the spiral staircase and crossed his arms and said: "First of all, the architectural style of this manor is the Melatir style that became popular only in 8397 of the Holy Calendar. The main tone is massive. The convex curves and S-shaped corners are very similar to the Rococo style popular in Europe in the 1830s outside the game, also known as the 'Louis XV style' architectural style. However, this architectural style is almost impossible to draw on a large scale. Defensive barrier, and people who have money to build such houses usually cherish their lives. For this reason, Melatir-style buildings have been almost no longer used since 8600 of the Holy Calendar. By 8700, the entire continent There are very few Melatir-style buildings left, so judging from this perspective, it is almost impossible for this mansion to be a product before 8400 A.D., do you understand?"

Yu Ying dazedly rubbed her forehead and gave Mo Tan, 'Are you kidding me? ’ look.

Mo Tan, on the other hand, gave her a look of "I'm not kidding you" and continued to talk: "By the way, have you seen the landscape painting at the door? Its name is "Clouds". Although the painting "Clouds" at the door is only a high imitation of the masterpiece of the great goblin painter Gol Chopper Usopp who was very popular at the time, its value is definitely not too low based on the level of its copying. However, "

"But what?"

Yuying asked subconsciously, as if mosquito coils were spinning in her eyes.

"But Master Gorjoba was exposed to a huge scandal in the second year after his death, that is, in the year 8619 of the Holy Calendar."

Mo Tan snapped his fingers and said cheerfully: "I won't tell you the specific scandal. Anyway, since that day, the value of Gol Chopper Usopp's works has plummeted. Even the original painting of "Clouds" It was all taken out and burned by its last owner, and it goes without saying that there are high-quality imitations at the door. Therefore, even if it is just for appearance and style, no one will make paintings like "Clouds" after 8619. Hang it on the door of your house.”

Yuying nodded with a complex expression and asked numbly: "Where did you know these messy things?"

"It's a long story, so I won't go into it."

Mo Tan yawned, turned over the corpse at his feet with the toes of his shoes, shrugged and said, "In addition to the previous two reasons, it would probably take a long time to make a tree elf rot to this extent without preservation. About ten years ago, when we first entered this space, the half-dead plants around us were only blooming in Scarlet Moon. Under the premise of mastering these factors, it is not too difficult to calculate a relatively vague time point. .”

Yuying nodded: "Gan"

Mo Tan smiled, gently held the girl's shoulders, and comforted her: "Are you stupid?"

"roll."

Yu Ying gave him an elbow, turned her head away from looking at the rotting corpse that exuded a strange smell, and resisted the urge to retching and asked: "Then what about the other dimension you just mentioned? "

"Oh, I really don't want to use my brain at all."

Mo Tan shook his head helplessly, walked slowly up the steps to the second floor, and said without looking back: "The so-called other level of space is what we just experienced. Under certain circumstances, this space The environment inside and outside the mansion will undergo drastic changes. In addition to adding some horror elements out of thin air, we will also encounter many things that do not exist on this level, such as some monsters that can kill us in seconds."

Yu Ying, who was following Mo Tan, was shocked: "Can this still be played?!"

"Of course I can play."

Mo Tan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was full of pleasure: "I have to say, this is really a good place for people to relax. I like it very much."

Yuying said without thinking: "You are perverted!"

"That depends on what aspect you are referring to."

Mo Tan chuckled, stepped on a large radiating blood stain and climbed up the stairs, his tone full of uncontrollable excitement: "By the way, I think the things we faced outside the house and on the first floor, uh... Danger? It's just an appetizer, whether it's those little monsters that are good for nothing except their appearance, or the 'second level' where the time limit is so relaxed that it makes people doze off, and the difficulty of avoiding the instant death flag is so simple that it makes people sleepy. It’s just a greeting, so you’d better be extra vigilant and keep a calm mind, otherwise it could be a tragedy if you’re not careful.”

Yu Ying was timid at that time, and then she suggested very resolutely: "Either we withdraw first, improve and then come back."

"I'm sorry. As far as I know, from the moment the lobby on the first floor closed itself, we have been unable to leave through normal channels."

Mo Tan raised his right index finger and shook it slightly, then turned back and took a deep look at Yu Ying: "What's more, even if I can leave, I don't plan to leave just like that."

"but!"

"Nothing to say but"

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes, slowly drew out his other weapon, the one-handed sword [Bird of Paradise], and stepped onto the last step.

"The pick-up party has arrived~"
