black Knight

The desolate house standing in the forest was as dark and silent as when they left. Although the damage was not serious, it was full of corruption.

With the light of the flashlight turned on by Dino, Alicia squatted down and opened the suitcase, took out the prepared crystals from it, and picked and placed them in different places in the room. Dino couldn't see it from the beginning to the end. If there is any pattern, I simply don't want to fly an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan.

——Anyway, □ out of ten things about magicians are beyond their comprehension.Why bother with yourself for something that is destined not to be understood or used.

The small crystal is almost integrated with the dim environment, and its original color cannot be seen, and it is far away, and only a dark outline can be vaguely seen.

After placing the last crystal, Alicia clapped her hands and stood up, tilting her head to signal that the two behind her could go upstairs.

"Where are you going?" Dino walked ahead with a flashlight and asked casually.

"Fourth floor."

"Fourth floor..." Dino repeated, turned his head and was about to go upstairs, but turned around sharply the next second to see Alicia stammering and asking.

"Wait, isn't there only three floors in this house?"

"It's true that there are three floors on the right, but... there are four floors on the left." Alicia grinned, "Didn't you notice that the left and right sides of this building are asymmetrical."

Alicia took the flashlight and walked up first, "The spiral staircase on the left is one and a half circles, and the one on the right is only one circle - the reason for making such a depressing design is actually just to make people ignore the different lengths of the stairs. That's all."

"In fact, starting from the first floor, the left side of the house is shorter than the right side, but the symmetrical layout of the decoration is used to deceive people's eyes. The same is true for the second floor... I don't want to make such a strange room , but, it is necessary to create such a room, after all, the two sides are not a floor at all - it is also a reason that the second floor does not have stairs leading to the third floor. Because if you go to the 'third floor' from the left side of the second floor, It is not the same as the 'third floor' on the right."

"Wait, what about the windows? Aren't the windows symmetrical?" Dino remembered that she asked him to stand outside to watch her before.

"Windows... haven't you noticed that all the windows on the second floor are very huge?" Alicia tilted her head back, evoking a subtly curved smile, "Besides, none of the external windows can be opened—it's like It's like a decorative painting hanging on the wall, isn't it?"

"Identical windows that look like they're running side by side - with ivy on the outside and who cares where the window frames are. As long as the 'exposed part' is about the same length."

"You don't have architectural drawings, so it's normal if you don't know. If you can tell the clue at a glance, this magician will not build it like this. After all, his original intention is to hide this 'extra' layer."

Alicia and the others went up the stairs on the right and went all the way to the third floor on the right. Alicia walked directly into the study without the slightest hesitation.

For a magician, studies and laboratories are much more important than bedrooms.

After all, although it is 'unscientific', magic or magic can also be expanded and improved through research and inheritance like knowledge.

Although the study is basically empty now, it can be seen from the quality of the decoration and furniture that its owner attached great importance to it.

Alicia walked around, and soon found the key to the hidden floor - thanks to her 'archeology class' at that time, although she hadn't fully graduated, this class has always been among the best of.

In that era a hundred years later, due to many reasons [such as the Holy Grail War], many families broke their inheritance, resulting in the loss of a large amount of precious materials and research results. Therefore, many people turned their attention to the magic workshop left by the magicians in the past. Technology keeps pace with the times, but people believe that only the materials passed down from the past are the treasures closest to the truth or results.

Especially with the continuous reduction of natural resources, many things they want to use can no longer be found. It is unreliable to find new resources, so they can only dismantle the old ones. There will be a certain surplus to Xianluo.

Then, in order to use/develop these 'relic workshops' more effectively, the school specially set up an 'archaeology class' which teaches how to explore magic workshops and how to correctly open magic workshops.

After all, many magic workshops have unique 'locks'. If the opening method is wrong, the entire magic workshop may self-destruct, and the loss caused is really heartbreaking.

Although Alicia doesn't have the spirit of adventure, compared to other boring theoretical courses, this course can be regarded as lively and interesting, so she has been studying well.

After several nodes were broken, the switch was finally exposed to people.

The switch made of the head of an unknown animal was turned upside down, firmly fixed on the back of the turned bookshelf, and the rounded edges had an oily black luster under the slight light.

It looks like a tightness in the throat.

Dino took out a whip out of nowhere, and Romario beside him also took out a pistol—although these things may not be effective, but holding the weapon he is used to in his hand always makes people feel at ease Not a lot.

Alicia covered her hand with a thin magic glove, and then turned the upside-down skull switch hard. After a strange sound that made teeth ache, the experimental room on the left half of the house was in front of the study. In the room, the long metal table in the middle slowly sank until it was level with the ground, when the lights in the laboratory suddenly turned on.Although the light was a little dim with the thick dust covering the lampshade, it was enough for them to see what was beneath the void that had been revealed when the floor had been removed after the table had sunk.

The rancid smell gushing out as the secret floor opened made all three of them frown.

Dino held his nose and looked down - he didn't know how to describe the 'thing' inside.

The thing inside...maybe it used to be a person, but it was only once—the black-red, wriggling piece of flesh was connected with four human heads of varying degrees of decay. Still 'alive', making a vague 'huh huh' sound.

Human limbs of different sizes 'grow' on the edge of the meat, and as the meat wriggled, those limbs also swayed slightly.Surrounding the huge piece of meat were scattered remains of human bones, broken ribs, already dried up, and I don't know if it was meat or what, it was uneven on the ground and the wall.

"What is this?"

Looking at the faster squirming pieces of meat stimulated by the light, Dino asked in a low voice, resisting the discomfort in his stomach.

"It should be... a monster." Alicia shielded their breath with magic power, "Probably want to combine alchemy with the selected human body to create what I want."

"……what?"

"To put it simply, it's like your mafia's human experiment. Transplant some things in people, and then try to achieve the results you want through this method." Alicia remembered what she had seen before about magicians and Data on human trials conducted by the Mafia.

The first magician to offer an olive branch to the Mafia really did something wrong.Because of his selfish desires, how many people died for it-how many people became inhuman because of it.

Once Pandora's box is opened, it can never be restored.Even if he doesn't continue, even if he dies, those who have tasted the sweetness will still continue this matter.

Even if there were regulations on this kind of killing without amnesty in her time, there would still be people who would carry out such activities in private, not to mention the terrible 'past' of this behavior that has not been realized.

"It's just that magicians want to get what they want, and mafia want to get people with special powers." Alicia squatted on the edge of the floor, opened the suitcase she had been holding in her hand, "But in the final analysis, they are all creating 'monsters'."

Regardless of whether there is a human form or not, no matter whether he was human or not, such a 'thing' created for the purpose of killing and fighting can only be classified as a monster, right?

The white-haired girl nonchalantly picked up several sealed test tubes, opened the stoppers of the test tube mouths, poured the contents back and forth, shaking and stirring at times, and finally obtained a blood-red, slowly boiling liquid .

She held the test tube in one hand, opened the other hand and whispered a few difficult spells against the wall of the test tube, and the red liquid in the test tube quieted down with her spell, with a ruby-like color. stay in the test tube.

Alicia poured a ruby-like liquid into a metal box of indeterminate material, and then placed the box on the floor at the edge of the pit.Then he motioned to the two people beside him to walk to the door.

"Go out."

After Alicia finished speaking, she turned and left after taking a last look at the rotten-smelling piece of meat.

"..." Dino shook the whip in his hand, turned around and left the room with heavy steps.He had seen the box that Alicia had placed on the edge of the floor last, so he didn't ask any more questions - he still understood that what the magician made had to be solved by the magician.

But what the mafia has done must be ended by the mafia.

It is impossible for this thing to appear in the territory of the Gabrielone family. It is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with the previous leaders of the Gabrielone family. He has to investigate this matter to get to the bottom of it.

Regardless of whether there are other 'things' left in their family's territory, in any case, it is his responsibility and his wish to protect his family and his subordinates.

When leaving the house, Alicia sprinkled a lot of powder on the corridors and stairs of the house. The stardust-like powder shone with crystal light under the sunlight.

After coming out, Alicia sprinkled a circle of golden powder on the iron fence outside the courtyard, and then stepped back to Dino and Romario, and took out the last item in the box—that was also an invisible one. Material metal box.

The white-haired girl took out her dress dagger from her waist, tapped one side of the box, then said something quickly and threw the box towards the iron gate in front.

The box fell to the ground, then rolled twice with inertia, and crossed the yard surrounded by golden powder.Flames soared from the courtyard and spread to the entire house.The crystals placed everywhere on the first floor radiated silvery white light, staggered towards the box containing the ruby-colored liquid on the upper floor.

The liquid in the box swayed for a while, and the box with it fell onto the weakly wriggling piece of meat below. The net of light firmly pressed down on the piece of meat. Then, the box also started to burn, and the blue flame showed its distinctive high temperature

Red and blue flames ignited the Perk House like a giant bonfire—except that no one was feeling happy about it.The three people standing outside who were lucky enough to watch the fire at close range had different expressions. The flames reflected red on their faces, but could not warm their hearts.

Finally, a sharp, human howl of pain rang out, spread far away, echoed in the forest for a long time before gradually disappearing.

The fire caused by magic did not spread outwards, but stubbornly burned everything in the golden powder circle, until the iron fence gradually melted, until the houses in the middle collapsed, and until there was nothing to burn on the scorched ground Get smaller and turn off.

What people saw, what people failed to see, were finally reduced to ashes in this fire and ceased to exist.

The author has something to say: Synthetic meat or something... It is really one of the immortal classic props in various horse monkey works or alchemy works [tea] I just don’t know the acceptance of girls [Hello]

By the way, I saw a comment posted by a friend yesterday, and one of the contents won my heart [Sludge] A general summary is: appetite makes us continue to improve-humans have defeated countless strong prehistoric giants because of eating , High walls can't stop the invasion of wild beasts, people can't always hide from the keen sense of smell of beasts, so only eating can effectively eliminate them and win us more living space. 【Fog】

So it’s not wrong to love to eat [Hey] It’s the latest chapter of the Heroes of Little People who need to survive and evolve!I am a foodie and I am proud! 【Fuck off】

Alright, continue with Smecta's travelogue... Since I masturbated too much yesterday, let's make a long story short today [Hello]

After walking past the turtle-in-a-urn yard, it is the site of Daejanggeum-ri Janggeum that is under construction, imitating [reconstruction]—Smecta Traditional Kitchen=l=The huge Daejanggeum sign outside the construction site is really blind He kicked his feet like a dog's eyes.

Speaking of Dae Jang Geum, I have to mention the mascot of our group—Uncle Coffee=l=Uncle Coffee immediately sang a familiar melody after seeing Dae Jang Geum.just the lyrics...

This is what he sang: Sweeping the trash and taking out the trash is all trash...

Leave a tear of sympathy for the tour guide =l=

Then I noticed that there is a tower-like building in the Smecta Palace here, and for a moment I thought I had discovered a characteristic building that really belonged to Smecta [After all, the Imperial Palace of China will not build a tower near the center] As a result, after asking the tour guide, the tour guide told me calmly that it was a museum-the implication.It was built later... From then on, I don't expect Smecta to have any real characteristic buildings.Bypassing the kitchen begins the real 'palatia' area.The place where the princess lives, where the emperor lives... Speaking of which, I have to complain, Smecta's buildings are all long, and you can directly see the inside when you open the door [window]...the clothes changing Isn’t it afraid of running out of time _(:3∠)_, everything is clear at a glance, it’s too open? Feeling sorry?

Then there is the place where the Korean king went to court—the Qinzheng Palace where Smecta went to court [I remember correctly that it is the Qinzheng Palace] and there are subtle stalks.

First of all, this is a building that looks a bit deep [Korean houses are basically flat and long] Second, this is a building that looks like it has two floors, and finally it is about the size of a main hall in a slightly larger temple [Note that it is only a slightly larger temple].

Having said that, we can talk about its actual situation.

First of all, it is a place that is dark even with the windows open [I found that the lighting design was not very good when I was in the building] Second, although it looks like two floors, it is actually just a one with a relatively high ceiling. The multi-storey building [deceiving feelings] Finally, the gold-plated dragon on the ceiling inside it is the seven-clawed [or seven-toed] golden dragon that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty once bestowed on the King of Korea. respected.enclose

However, after the Japanese army withdrew, in order to express their determination to be self-reliant and self-reliant, the Smecta gave it two more claws ==|||

Then only the outside of Qinzheng Hall is paved with stone pavements... but it is also not very flat stone pavement.Then there is still a saying about the uneven stone floor-because the ground is uneven, the ministers who come to the court [let’s say it is the court] have to walk with their heads down [for fear of falling ╮(╯_╰)╭ 】...In other words, this road surface is designed to make them bow their heads ==|||

———by the explanation of the tour guide Smecta.

And it seems that when Smecta went to court, the ministers were all standing outside.I want to say that King Smecta sat in the room and wanted to see a fluffy man?Is the open space in the house used to raise mosquitoes =l=【Hello】

The last thing I want to talk about is the 'promenade' around the outside... It used to be a long, long connected room [the maids will walk here and there without hindering the courtiers] and then After the Japanese invaders came...it was completely demolished =l= and became a long corridor with only colonnades left.

Then, we can go out through another door... The Smecta palace is finished =l=

...I feel that when I travel to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I spend more time visiting gardens than this...Is it my illusion?

Routine cute and rotten nnnnnn please, let’s leave a message and see you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~【Hi】
