Falling into the Abyss
Chapter 97 Eve Star
The aircraft passed through the bustling city, the surrounding buildings gradually decreased, and the oversized trees became denser and denser, forming a long vault from both sides of the road, like an endless corridor.Bunches of pale golden sunlight fell from the gap, like a rain curtain of light being hit by the speeding traffic and splashed in all directions.
As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer flying vehicles or dual-purpose vehicles around.After getting off the main track, they were the only car left to speed between the fortresses made up of giant trees.The terrain began to rise, and the track and road spiraled up like a pearly ribbon.On one side are cliffs, but on the other side you can see the endlessly extending peacock green lake at the foot of the mountain.
On the top of the high mountain, facing the almost vertical cliff, is a majestic castle covered with sharp-edged vaults. From a distance, it looks like a solemn and vicissitudes-looking king overlooking the mountains and lakes at his feet.
Taniser pointed to the buildings on the top of the mountain and said, "That is my home."
Ethan sighed, "It's so beautiful..."
"Where is beauty, it is more appropriate to say it is spooky." Samuel added next to it.
The car stopped in front of a tall stone doorway, and the iron door was closed tightly.Not long after, there was a communication request flashing in the car. After Tanithel connected, an elderly male Beta Eve appeared.His cheeks were thin and beardless, his hair was silver-white and neat, and he was wearing a dark blue long coat.The pair of cloudy blue eyes showed a startled expression after seeing Tanithel, "Master!"
Tanithel also responded with a smile, "Terry Doss, I'm back."
Ten minutes later, Ethan and Samuel were already standing in front of the double-opening mahogany gate of the main castle building, with classical carvings and brass handles on the door, and Ethan was suddenly stunned.
This was the third time he had seen these two doors.
The first time I saw it was on the red earth, when his spirit was infected by Shabu Nicholas in the vision, and when Mars entered the room where the egg of the prologue and the body fluid of Shabu Nicholas were hidden, he both Seeing these two doors gave him an indescribably familiar feeling.Every time I see them, there is always a nightmarish experience afterwards.
But now, he actually saw it at the door of Tanisel's house.
He waited for a while, but the "illusion" did not dissipate.On the contrary, it opened slowly, and several Eves who were probably servants came out one after another from inside, headed by the butler known as "Terridos" seen on the communicator screen before.Tanithel said that the butler had served his family all his life, taking care of him from the time he was born, until he left the castle as a priest, until the death of Grand Duke Nishikawa, until most of the servants were dismissed in order to reduce expenses However, he still stayed behind without hesitation, taking care of this magnificent building without its owner.
The servants and the housekeeper were very happy to see Tanithel, so happy that there were tears in the corners of their eyes.But Ethan just kept paying attention to those two doors, and he began to suspect that the door might not be his illusion...
Why...these two doors are here?In this place where it shouldn't be?
The feeling of discomfort caused Ethan to faintly resist this ancient and magnificent castle surrounded by beautiful vines.But when he thought that this was the place where the priest grew up, he wondered if he was thinking too much.
Tanithel was introducing Ethan to the butler at this time, "This is Erdrin, and this is Yasaniel next to him. The two of them are my apprentices, and I want to arrange for them to live here first."
Seeing that Ethan didn't respond at all, Samuel secretly kicked him on the calf.Ethan came back to his senses suddenly, and quickly imitated Eve's priest and bowed to the butler.The housekeeper bowed slightly to him and Samuel in a cold and polite manner, then turned to Tanisel and said, "Because I didn't know in advance that you would come back, and I didn't know that there would be guests, so it will take some time to clean up." Guest room."
"Ah, it doesn't matter, I can take them to get acquainted with the environment first. Mrs. Zelda, please prepare some dinner for us."
Another female Beta with a gentle appearance claimed to be, and smiled at Ethan and Samuel with a very loving and motherly expression.After all, in their eyes at this time, he and Samuel were just two children who might not be underage.
This castle has a history of many centuries, and the princes and dukes who have been the most trusted by King Eve often live here, so the whole building gives people an air of arrogance and majesty, contempt for everything.The castle is magnificent, with relief murals everywhere, full of the rich atmosphere of history.Such buildings once existed on Earth, but now only the remaining photos can be seen in ancient books.
"There are two main buildings and three towers here, all of which are connected by air corridors. The restaurants are on the first floor, and the study is on the second floor. You can walk around at will, but don't go down to the cellar. It's dark and humid there, often Leaking." Tanithel introduced as he walked, his eyes were on Ethan's body from time to time, a bit like a child offering treasures, "How is it, do you like it?"
Ethan put the image of the main entrance of the castle that he saw just now behind his head, smiled and nodded at the priest, "You grew up here?"
"correct."
Ethan imagined the little priest running down the long corridor in front of him like a snow rabbit, the sunlight filtering through the stained glass and filling his angelic hair.Thinking about it makes my heart soft, and I can't help but smile.
Samuel asked, "How long are we going to live here?"
"You can stay as long as you want. Unless you really want to be priests in the temple."
"Then..." Ethan looked at the priest hesitantly, as if he didn't know how to ask.Tanithel already knew what he wanted to ask, so he leaned down slightly and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I will find a way to bring the egg of the Prologue God out of the temple. I will cure you." Said After finishing, he actually touched his head like he was touching a child.
Ethan patted his hand away pretending to be angry, but the relief on his face couldn't be concealed.After getting the priest's promise, the big stone in my heart was put down.
At this moment, he looked up and saw a portrait hanging at the end of the corridor.It was an extremely handsome and tall blond male Beta. His eyebrows were very similar to those of Tanisel. He was wearing a gorgeous robe and many jewelry rings on his hands. Silver eyes, even if they are just a picture, can still shoot a cold light.Pointing to the portrait, he asked, "Is that... your father?"
Samuel noticed it too, and whistled, "It looks so similar!"
Ethan turned his head to look at Tanithel, but saw that the priest's expression was a little strange.At this time, he was a little different from his usual appearance. His delicate face was missing the usual perfect and charming smile, or the compassionate and dignified professional expression. A touch of sadness and loneliness.
"Yes, he is my father." The priest said, but suddenly changed the subject, "Let me show you your room!"
Feeling that he was about to touch some memory that the priest wanted to bury, Ethan shut his mouth and nodded obediently.He remembered that the priest had told him that the reason why he gave up his right of inheritance to become a priest was to be able to get in touch with the Egg of the Preface God so that he could use it to save his father.But even though he passed many tests, became a priest, and came into contact with the Egg of the Preface God, he still failed to save Grand Duke Xichuan.
Perhaps at that moment, the whole point of his being a priest was lost.And what supported Tanithel to insist on playing such a role until now?
**********
The dinner was very sumptuous, and Ethan and Samuel, who had to eat compressed bread from the Forbidden City for so long, had their stomachs bulging.Ethan returned to the room he was assigned facing the garden outside the window, and lay on his back on the large and gorgeous four-poster bed.The fire was burning in the fireplace, and everything else seemed beautiful and peaceful.
But he just felt something was wrong.
Is it those walls?None of them seem to be going straight up and down, but sloping down at a subtle angle that you can't tell unless you look carefully.Moreover, in this room, there seem to be many unnecessary corners, and those corners also have strange arcs, which will make people feel dizzy after a long time.
Could the design of this room be Eve's architectural style?
The twilight was thick outside the window, and Ethan turned off all the lights in the house, only then could the silhouette of the distant mountains be vaguely seen.Skylight reflected by planetary rings illuminates a corner of the sky.In this bright moonlight, Ethan got into bed, planning to fall asleep.
But when everything fell silent, he finally discovered something was wrong.
It's not the angle of the wall, but... There is breathing in the room.
The sound of breathing that didn't belong to him.
He jumped up from the bed and asked loudly, "Who's here!"
The only answer to him was silence.
Ethan turned over, turned on all the lights, and searched all corners, including under the bed, wardrobe and bathroom.Didn't see anything suspicious.
Is it hallucination?Ethan wasn't sure either.He turned off the light and climbed back into bed.
However, the breathing sound appeared again, so clear, as if a dying person was panting with all his strength.The voice was very rhythmic, not rushed, not slow, not angry, even a little too slow, as if waiting or brewing something.
Ethan couldn't tell where the sound came from.He wanted to ignore the sound and force himself to fall asleep, but sometimes he felt that the sound of breathing was far away, and sometimes he could almost feel someone blowing into his ears, he shivered and opened his eyes to see nothing .In the end, he couldn't, so he had no choice but to open the door of the room, and walked along the dimly lit corridor to the door of Tanithel in his memory, hesitating whether to knock on it or not.After all, it's getting late now.
Who knew that the door opened before he could make a move.
Ethan was taken aback, "You... how do you know I'm outside the door!"
The priest looked at him with bent eyes, "Have you forgotten that our souls are still bound together now? I sensed that you were upset just now, and seemed a little confused and disobedient. I guessed that you might come to me What's the matter? Could it be that he is afraid of sleeping alone?" The priest gave him a meaningful and evil smile.
Ethan habitually wanted to push his glasses to cover up his embarrassment and embarrassment, but it was in vain.He scratched his head in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and decided to ask, "Why is there another person in my room...?"
As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer flying vehicles or dual-purpose vehicles around.After getting off the main track, they were the only car left to speed between the fortresses made up of giant trees.The terrain began to rise, and the track and road spiraled up like a pearly ribbon.On one side are cliffs, but on the other side you can see the endlessly extending peacock green lake at the foot of the mountain.
