Chapter 853 Missing Minor Issues
Ten queen coins? Donnie's breathing suddenly became a little heavier, although he had long known that after becoming an official magician, he would earn a lot of income, but he had been in the school before, and many subsidies were directly allocated arcane points, and there was basically no cash transaction, so after hearing the offer of ten empress gold coins, he still couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Ten empress gold coins are nothing to nobles, wealthy big businessmen and magicians, but Donnie was born in a commoner family in a small town, and he has never seen a gold coin in his life so far, and just by going there, he can harvest a large amount of wealth that can significantly improve his family environment.
If you want to continue your path as a magician, materials, scrolls, books, extraordinary items, etc. are unavoidable things, and they all need the support of wealth!
If the problem is really solved, how much will Baron Heldos pay?
Donny's thoughts rolled in his heart, and his voice became slightly hoarse: "If I can solve this problem, how much will the baron pay me?"
The butler's expression remained unchanged, and he did not laugh at Donny's self-esteem, you must know that there was a three-ring magician who made a move before, but failed to solve the matter, he said respectfully: "My master said that if Mr. White can restore peace to the castle, then in addition to these ten queen gold coins, he will also give you a 'magic glove', which is a second-level transcendent item."
Extraordinary items? Donnie only felt his blood surging and almost agreed directly.
Fortunately, the long-term meditation and spellcasting concentration practice allowed him to maintain the last trace of sobriety, and said calmly: "Baron Herdos is the lord of the town, and I am happy to help him, but I need the records of the previous mages and apprentices to deal with the supernatural events in the castle.
It's better to be cautious about this kind of thing.
The housekeeper had a smile on his respectful face and took out a thick stack of documents from his arms: "This is the record you need."
Feeling Donnie's surprise, he smiled and explained: "My master is no stranger to magicians, so I know you will need this."
Donnie was relieved, took the record, cast a spell and looked at it, and found that there was indeed no trace of tampering, and then read it carefully.
After a long time, while rubbing the documents, he said calmly: "It's just that the two apprentices were so surprised that they jumped out of the castle window and fell to their deaths there, there is no record of the mage's death, well, for me, there should be no danger, Mr. Butler, please take me to see the baron."
The first half of his words were not addressed to the housekeeper, but to his parents and sister, so that they would not worry.
Sure enough, after hearing his explanation, Lily and Mrs. White, who were full of worries and wanted to stop it, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled from the heart, their son (brother) can be valued by the lord, this is the glory of their own family, and it was really the right choice to let him go to the general education school in the first place!
- As commoners, they fear and obey their lords more than ordinary magicians.
Donnie's father, Old White, nodded excitedly, asking Donnie to go and not worry about family matters.
…………
The hills near the town are rolling and covered with evergreen trees, and a dark and deep castle stands next to a beautiful quiet lake, complementing the surrounding scenery.
Inside the castle, Donnie sat opposite Baron Herdos, who was sallow and coughing.
"This is an ancient castle that our family has passed down for 900 years, and it is a symbol of our Herdos family, but the haunting phenomenon in recent decades has made us restless, I hope Mr. White can help solve it, you are a professional in the necromancer department." Baron Heldos said in a weak voice.
He lived in a villa in the city to recuperate, and basically did not return to the castle, and today he was deliberately waiting here for Donnie - since the installation of more and more electric energy systems and the popularization of various alchemy items, more and more nobles like to live in villas in the city or in the suburbs can enjoy these convenient estates.
Although Downey is a necromancer in the direction of "body structure and genetic factors", knowledge of ghosts and evil spirits is a compulsory course at Heidler Academy, so he is no stranger to this, and asked solemnly: "I don't know what happened decades ago that caused the haunting? I hope you can tell me all about it and don't miss it."
Sudden haunting is certainly not without reason.
"Really, several magicians have asked before." Baron Herdos replied with a wry smile.
Although the magician he hired before was not a professional in the necromancer system, since he wanted to solve this matter, the necessary preliminary investigation would still be done - unless he was crazy, no magician was a completely reckless guy, especially the current arcanist, clear thinking and clear logic are the basic characteristics!
"It seems to have appeared suddenly, maybe someone did something secretly, but after such a long time, the clues have long been gone." Baron Herdos added.
Donnie nodded: "I hope Baron, you will give me the family information from that period, all kinds of information, I will stay here tonight and rely on them to 'pass' the time."
"I'll ask you tonight, Mr. Donny." Baron Herdos nodded slightly, after which he left ten empress gold coins on the table, left the castle with the butler, and returned to the city.
The servants in the castle all arrived during the day and left before evening, and no one dared to live here, so with the departure of Baron Herdos and his party, the castle returned to deep tranquility, and the fire in the fireplace burned fiercely, but it could not dispel the deep cold.
Donnie checked the castle to find nothing, then found a bedroom and began to meditate, keeping his energy and waiting for the night to come.
Pawn! Pawn! Pawn!
Three bells rang, and the old wall clock "signaled" the arrival of ten o'clock at night, and according to the information in Downey's hands, all haunting phenomena occurred after this time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as the bell stopped, Donnie heard a dull and strange sound, and frowned, this is the sound of the window blowing by the cold wind constantly hitting the window frame? But I checked before, all the windows were closed!
With his right hand rubbing the magician badge on his chest, Donnie opened the door, entered the hallway, and walked towards the place where the sound was made.
Bang!
A huge and dull impact sounded behind Donny, and he was so frightened that he quickly turned around, only to see that the door he had just left automatically closed!
Woohoo!
The faint hallucinatory cry came to Donny's ears, making his pores contract, if he hadn't had a few real nightmares, he might not have been able to stay calm.
Toot!
The sound of the wind made a whimpering sound and suddenly blew in the corridor.
The candlesticks went out one by one, and darkness completely enveloped the castle.
Donnie quickly cast a "Illumination Technique", and the gloves immediately emitted a crimson light like a torch, illuminating the surroundings.
But suddenly, a cold breath blew on Donny's neck, stabbing his hair to stand on end, and then, the "Luminous Technique" ended silently!
"This evil spirit is more terrifying than described!"
Donnie had "seen" all kinds of undead creatures in the nightmare, and felt the strength of this evil spirit more clearly than ordinary magicians, a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart, he quickened his pace, and walked directly towards the castle gate, "It interrupted my spell and made me unaware! How could those magicians in the past survive?"
Generally, this kind of evil spirit is trapped somewhere, as long as it leaves the castle, it will be safe!
"Cluck!"
A white blurred figure floated in front of him, and he laughed bitterly:
"If I don't let them leave, how can someone 'save' me food again and again?"
Donnie was startled, he knew what he was thinking? Or are you using illusion and language to shake your mind?
"Don't worry, I won't eat you directly, I will suck your soul slowly, slowly." This figure flickered and didn't give Donnie a chance to lock in at all, "Since I was woken up, I have always been very restrained and only smoke a small half, which can make you forget what you are experiencing now and take the initiative to come over every few months."
Donnie walked guardedly, unaffected by words, and the evil spirit did not stop him.
This made him feel a little more at ease, feeling that the evil spirits were just a superficial appearance, and at this time, the gate of the castle appeared in front of him.
Just escape!
Donnie opened the door, but outside the door was the hall of the castle!
Fright surged up, and a chill rose from under his feet, quickly paralyzing his whole body.
"Haha, I like this kind of panic the most." A pale and illusory human face stood out in front of Donnie, his mouth opened, and the foul smell suddenly sprayed on Donnie's face, making him dizzy and unable to concentrate on casting spells anymore.
Looking at the human face vaguely, Donnie only felt that the cold and cold meaning was getting stronger and stronger, and his soul seemed to be freezing.
It's okay to have such a nightmare, but you have to die at the hands of this evil spirit that is not too strong?
Suddenly, Donnie felt a cold surge in his right hand, and then, uncontrollably, it lifted up uncontrollably, grabbing the face in front of him.
Is this my right hand?
Donnie's pupils reflected a monotonous black, white, and gray palm, and seeing it was as if he was seeing a lifeless death, a death that never fade!
"No?" The evil spirit screamed miserably, as if he saw the most feared and frightening thing.
Then, it stood stiff in place as if waiting for Donnie's right hand.
The right hand passed through, and the evil spirit split and disintegrated, thrown into black, white and gray, and disappeared.
Donnie recovered his spirits and quickly performed the light technique, only to see that everything around him was as usual, except for the candlelight that was extinguished.
"Hallucination? No, it must be true!" Donnie raised his right hand, looked at it that was no longer unusual, and muttered to himself, "What happened? Why is my right hand like this?"
At that moment before, he felt that he was the master of death!
"Yes, it feels very similar to the black, white, gray and black armor in the nightmare!" Donnie suddenly raised his head, his face covered in cold sweat.
…………
Outside the castle, a tall black shadow stood quietly, smiling and saying, "It's really not that easy to solve all problems."
