Lord of the Witches

Near noon, a dark yellow taxi was turning into an old dirt road. The tires rolled over the gravel and raised inconspicuous dust. One angle is the scene in front of the taxi.

A mountain that looks a bit hazy from a distance, under the mountain is a lush valley and plain, at the end of a forest, an old manor is looming.

Chila!

The taxi driver, an obese middle-aged white man, quickly parked the car in front of the huge iron gate.

Before Tang Qi got out of the car, he looked at the driver named "Lavis" with some amusement. Although he was very fat, there were still too many beads of sweat flowing from his body at this time, and his clothes were almost covered. Wet, and his complexion was very pale.

After Rose Madeleine also got out of the car, Mr. Lavis suppressed his fear. After taking the fare from Rose, he hardly stopped at all. Stay away from the sight of the two at the fastest speed.

"It seems that your family estate has a great reputation?"

Tang Qi looked at Rose who just woke up from the "drunk" state, and said with a smile.

The Dreamland Bar is open 24 hours a day. When Tang Qi fished Rose out of the bar, it was only ten o'clock in the morning. Tang Qi used "how to become a member of the mystical spirit" as a bait, and succeeded. Sparked Rose Madeleine's curiosity.

After that, Rose, who was in a state of excitement, directly dragged Tang Qi, took a taxi from the city of St. Eagle's Nest, and came directly to this remote and desolate suburb.

Judging from the reaction of Mr. Lavis, the family manor owned by Rose Madeleine has an extremely terrifying reputation.

Tang Qi turned around and looked at the name first.

"Madeleine Manor!"

A line of ancient federal letters is arranged above the big iron gate.

Every detail is explaining the ancientness of the huge manor in front of me, some complex decorations that have long been abandoned, under the traces of rust, various mysterious symbols, inside the manor, except for the castle as the "main body", the rest of the buildings Almost all decayed.

"no one?"

Although it is still impossible to see the whole picture of the manor, anyone who glances at it can tell that the manor has been abandoned for a long time, has not been taken care of, and does not look like it is inhabited.

It should come as no surprise that my friend owns a family estate.

Surprisingly, the estate was left unattended.

Could it be that like the "Rowling family", the Madeleine family also has no heirs, leaving only Rose Madeleine?

Rose, who had paid the fare, directly guessed Tang Qi's doubts. As she walked towards the huge iron gate, she said: "There are still many people in the Madeleine family, and there are several people who are higher than me in the line of succession, but they all Choose to give me this manor, the reason..."

"Squeak"

As soon as Rose Madeleine finished speaking, she saw that the closed big iron door suddenly opened automatically.

A cold, sudden wind wrapped around the fallen leaves and blew towards the two of them.

It was clearly at noon when the sun was shining brightly, but Tang Qi felt a kind of coldness that seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow. Feeling something, he looked down.

However, on the surface of his skin, along with the raised particles, some dark green rust began to appear, as well as palm marks mixed with blood and mud, and vague, grinning skulls.

"Ghost, and it's a very old ghost."

Tang Qi did not activate his special ability, and made a judgment directly based on his knowledge of mysticism.

At the same time, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, just as he was about to do something.

Rose's voice contained a strong warning:

"Sturzan, Tang is a friend I respect very much, and he is also a furnace wizard."

Before she finished speaking, even when she only uttered the word "melting furnace", Tang Qi saw the "vision" on her body dissipate quickly like the ebbing sea water, and quickly condensed a figure in the air. He has white curly hair and is dressed like an old peasant in the old calendar.

He has a transparent body, a big nose, and heavy dark circles under his eyes. His facial features forced out a funny and flattering expression.

Tang Qi glanced at it, but still didn't activate the special ability, and only relied on his own mystic knowledge and experience to make a judgment.

"The old peasants who died in the old calendar era did not carry out extraordinary professional practice, but with some special conditions and long years, they accumulated some powerful extraordinary strength."

Just as Tang Qi judged, Rose pulled Tang Qi and walked straight into the manor.

He didn't turn his head to look at the farmer's ghost, but just said, "Strezan, go and tell the other old guys that I'm going to entertain a guest, so don't play any more pranks."

Behind the two, the farmer's ghost called "Strezan" looked at Tang Qi's back with a sly look on his face, as if he thought of some funny prank again, but soon he heard Rose order.

"It's boring, it won't trap Faber, Lucian, Eve, Brad, Rubens, and Veron. He's a furnace wizard, and he's alive."

After muttering a few words helplessly, the ghost of the farmer dissipated into the air.

His speed was obviously faster than Tang Qi and Rose who were walking normally.

So when Rose introduced the situation in her "Madeleine Manor" to Tang Qi, Tang Qi's keen perception immediately felt the chaos inside the manor, and the exclamation came and went.

When the two stepped into the hall inside the castle, Tang Qi already knew the real situation of the manor:

Madeleine Manor, built 300 years ago, is an ancient old-fashioned building. The founder is also the ancestor of the Madeleine family, the famous gold digger and pioneer Bennet Madeleine.

There was nothing unusual about the Madeleine Manor in the old era. It was just a normal luxury manor in the Eagle's Nest area, which was not the largest city in the Federation at that time.

Until the spiritual tide stopped and entered the New Era, one day, a cloud of gray light suddenly erupted from the ground of the manor, which lasted for a short time. The owner of the manor at that time, who was also the grandfather of Rose Madeleine, didn't care.

But soon, weird things started to happen one by one.

Since the Madeleine family is not a "supernatural family", but the blood left by a rich gold digger, especially in the new calendar era, under the cooperation of the official and church forces, the supernatural world has been completely hidden.

The Madeleine family didn't know the meaning of it, and just thought that the family manor had unfortunately become a place where ghosts gathered.

Although there were not too many casualties, even broad daylight could not prevent the "spiritual event" from happening, which forced the Madeleine family to abandon the manor and move out collectively.

The Madeleine family also tried to sell the manor, but the rich people who had the money to buy the manor obviously couldn't be so closed-minded that they didn't know that it was a ghost castle.

So over the years, Madeleine Manor has always been the most inconspicuous and least valuable line in the list of family properties.

Until the mysterious side recovered and Rose Madeleine, a genius who had the potential to become a great polymath, appeared, she naturally noticed her ancient manor immediately, and put the manor under her own name at a small price.

In a very short period of time, Rose figured out what happened at the Madeleine Manor.

"Because of an unknown accident, mysterious cracks appeared in the ground of the manor, making the manor a connection between the real world and a certain undead kingdom in the 'mystery'. Although the entrance is almost closed, the occasional undead breath overflows in the manor. Form a barrier."

"People who died in the manor, or ghosts who died nearby and were captured by the enchantment, have a certain chance of being permanently imprisoned in the manor."

"Those supernatural events were caused by those ghosts."

"The ghost of the old farmer named Sturzan was actually the gatekeeper in Bennet Madeleine's time. At that time, Madeleine's ancestors were short of manpower, so they recruited an old farmer nearby. The old man, on the first day of work, was shot dead by the other party when he opened the door for the first customer."

"His soul has been refusing to leave. After that, the manor transformed. With the help of the extraordinary aura overflowing from the kingdom of the dead, he became an old ghost with some power, and gave birth to a hobby to scare every guest who came to the door."

"A lucky and unlucky place."

Tang Qi figured out what was going on, and said something from the bottom of his heart. Immediately, he seemed to feel something, looked forward, lined up in two rows on the left and right, and the figures of ghosts emerged one by one.

The first two were an old man with white hair and white beard. Although he was old, he straightened his body and looked meticulous. He was dressed like a housekeeper in the old era, and the other was an overweight black maid. Wearing bright lipstick, she was smiling at Tang Qi.

Rose's introduction sounded at the right time: "Farber was the most loyal housekeeper in the Madeleine family. He died two hundred years ago... Eve was originally the maid in charge of the kitchen during the time of the ancestor Bennet Madeleine. He is still in charge of the food in the manor.”

Tang Qi followed Rose's introduction and nodded to the two of them.

The black maid named Eve seemed to be touched by something sad, she pursed her mouth, and turned from laughing to crying: "Miss, you are finally back, Eve thought you didn't want us anymore, woo woo woo..."

The huge voice of the black maid and her own extraordinary strength made the whole manor tremble.

The rest of the ghosts obviously didn't have the real organ of ears, and they subconsciously covered their heads at this time. Rose Madeleine beside Tang Qi had a look of helplessness, and at the same time, a look of guilt and emotion flashed across her face.

Tang Qi has heard from Rose that during the time she took over the manor, the ghosts in the manor recognized her as the new owner. She also lived in the manor for a while, but later she focused on saving her husband. In addition to longing, I moved back to No. 426 Loveke.

It's just that she didn't expect her husband to return in the end, but it ended like that.

ps: In the second update, I saw that some book friends thought it was water, and Fat Fish had to say it seriously. The new volume opens, the protagonist comes to a new environment, and a new character is about to appear. The necessary portrayal is really indispensable, it is really not water. Let's just watch, Fat Yu tried his best to write the plot well. Finally, asking for a monthly ticket, I was thrown too far, please everyone.
