Chapter 119: Pale Knight (Part 2)
Old Sane looks like a tough guy.
Although he looked very gentle and refined in his tuxedo, and his appearance and temperament were very consistent with the profession of butler, from Jiang Xia's perspective, this old man was obviously one of those guys who "hid his talents."
Especially when he picked up the witch-hunting weapon again, with bullet belts wrapped around his body and a rapier hanging on his waist, the tough temperament of the iron-blooded old man was immediately revealed.
He made it easy for Jiang Xia to think of the T800 that was popular all over the country back then.
Just as strong, just as silent, just as solemn.
It's easy to feel safe when you have a guy like this as a teammate.
"No matter if they are ordinary people, bloodline people, or witch hunters, the people in this world do not have obvious spiritual power fluctuations. Unless they take action, it is difficult to judge their strength."
The group walked down the stairs to the basement hall of the castle. The wolf demon Liu Hui's mumbling complaints echoed in the chip communication.
it says:
"This old man in front looks like he can fight, but I'm not sure what level he is at. Boss, if a fight starts, you should stand back.
Don't rush in and fight. If this old man is unreliable, I can at least get you out."
These words made Jiang Xia curl his lips.
He looked around at the increasingly quiet darkness and responded:
"What kind of image do you have of me? Liu Hui, am I just a brainless reckless guy in your eyes? Also, did you notice?
The pendant on old Saen's neck looks very powerful. I can feel the heat from such a distance. Is that a treasure?"
"have no idea."
Liu Hui wagged her tail and moved her paws uncomfortably.
It looked towards Old Sarn, bared its teeth in the darkness, and said:
“That thing makes me feel very uncomfortable, just like being near a fire. It must be a powerful thing, and it can actively gather spiritual energy.
In our words, that thing should be a magic weapon.
At least it is a high-level magical weapon.
But I know nothing about refining equipment, so I can't judge its specific grade."
"Hush, there's something ahead, be alert!"
Without Jiang Xia's reminder, the wolf demon also felt something strange ahead. It took a step forward and stood in front of the boss, with its claws lowered and green wind entangled on its claws, looking very strange.
On the other side, Hanhan, who was eating along the way, seemed to sense that something was wrong.
He swallowed the dried meat in his mouth in big gulps, puffed up his cheeks, and clenched his fists while chewing. In his other hand, he held the battering ram that old Saen had just dropped.
This thing can break the seal and is also a spiritual item.
However, the sledgehammer that ordinary people hold with both hands was picked up by Hanhan with one hand, very easily.
Old Saen was not as vigilant as they were. He was very familiar with this underground hall. After entering the dim basement, the old hunter took out matches and lit up the lights around the basement.
The wall lamp, which looks like a lantern, emits light all around.
As Old Saen continued to light the wall lamps, the light around him became dimmer, but it also dispelled the darkness and silence in the basement, and the lights flickered.
Lao Jiang, who was guarded by two employees, finally saw the whole picture of the underground hall.
Quite a big place.
It is about the size of a basketball court, more than two meters high, very empty, without much decoration. It looks like a warehouse that has not been visited for a long time, and there is a thick layer of dust on the ground.
On the wall opposite the old river, there is the family crest of the Helford family, carved into the stone wall, and there are several shrines around it.
In the center of the underground hall, there is a sarcophagus.
This is a tomb!
Lao Jiang had seen similar buildings when he was traveling in Europe in his previous life. He walked a few steps to the left, raised his left hand, and the prosthetic structure flipped, and a round lamp popped out in the palm of his hand.
The bright beam of light peeked forward, allowing Lao Jiang to see clearly that the small corridors surrounding the underground hall were filled with stacked sarcophagi.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the family tomb of the Helford family.
"It's really nice to build the family tomb under where you live."
Jiang Xia complained in a low voice.
Liu Hui, who was following behind him, moved her long nose and shook her head at Jiang Xia, indicating that there was nothing unusual in the sarcophagi around, and they contained ordinary remains.
When they looked back, the large sarcophagus in the center of the underground hall seemed a little strange.
Old San was now also standing in front of the plain sarcophagus. He stroked the edge of the sarcophagus, as if he was reminiscing or mourning, without saying a word.
But from his desolate back, one could also sense a hint of sadness.
"Who is in here?"
Jiang Xia asked softly:
"Is he an acquaintance of yours? Or an elder family member of the Lady Baroness? To be placed in the family tomb, his identity must be extraordinary, right?"
Old Sarn did not answer.
He took a step back, grasped the emblem on his neck that was emitting a burning breath, and in his other hand he tightly grasped the large-caliber double-barreled shotgun, and said in a cold voice:
"I'm going to let her out. Be careful. She's been sleeping for so long, I'm afraid she might be in a bad mood."
Jiang Xia winked at Liu Hui.
He took a few steps back and used his spiritual power to activate the golden talisman on his body. In the dim light, a faint golden light flowed outside Lao Jiang's body.
Liu Hui took off her hood and began to move her body, with a glimmer of eagerness in her one eye.
"boom"
Old San looked gentle and a respectable man, but his action of opening the coffin was extremely rough. He picked up the shotgun and pulled the trigger at the sarcophagus in front of him.
The possessed bullet flew out of the gun barrel and hit the sarcophagus.
Perhaps stimulated by the evil magic in the sarcophagus, these bullets now have incredible destructive power, the shrapnel hitting the stone is like a bomb explosion, the shattered stones fly everywhere.
But this is just the beginning.
The moment the sarcophagus broke, a depressing, cold, and gloomy aura, like the waking mood of a sleeping person, rushed in all directions.
The mane on Liu Hui's body was blown backwards, and the golden symbol on Jiang Xia's body also flickered, like an LED light with poor contact.
The wind was very cold.
Lao Jiang shook his body, then raised his left hand, supported it in front of him, and looked forward through his fingers. Black smoke was rising from the broken sarcophagus, like a curtain being drawn open.
There is also a low rattling sound, like the sound of metal colliding.
"boom"
Hanhan sensed the danger. He took a step forward and, just like last time in the deserted village, used his huge body to block the magic power that was invading from all directions for Jiang Xia.
He raised the battering ram in his hand and, as if to cheer himself up, hammered it hard on his chest twice.
"Saen..."
Amid the visual and sound effects of the great devil's appearance, a soft hum that seemed to originate from the underworld echoed in the underground hall, causing Jiang Xia to blink his eyes.
This monster still has reason?
Then, as the black smoke gathered, in the increasingly cold and gloomy atmosphere, he saw the true form of the monster.
Not ugly.
She looked like a female knight wearing full armor, holding a double-edged battle axe that was extremely disproportionate to her body size, and a tattered blue cloak tied behind her.
Every part of her body was covered with well-made armor, leaving no trace of skin exposed, and even her eyes were covered with closed iron armor.
There was also a Roman-style red tassel on the helmet.
The pupil of Jiang Xia's left eye dilated and he could clearly see the densely packed spirit-attached marks on the armor and weapons. The polluted spiritual energy was wrapped around the body of this female monster, stimulating the spirits to emit an ominous pale halo.
honestly.
This scene is pretty cool.
At least it fits with Lao Jiang's unique aesthetic.
"Saen..."
After the female monster was awakened, it began to speak old Saan's name as if calling out. The voice made people feel very uncomfortable, as if it was acting directly on the heart and soul.
Even if you plug your ears, you can still hear clearly.
"Excuse me, boss."
The wolf demon was a little nervous and said to Jiang Xia in the communication:
"This thing looks like a ghost. There is no entity under the armor. It is my most difficult opponent to deal with. Get out of here!"
Jiangxia is quick to accept advice.
He had a clear understanding of his own strength and immediately retreated to the stairs behind him. However, just after he took three steps back, the pale knight raised his hand tremblingly.
"Crash"
A pale flame suddenly ignited at this moment, covering the entire underground hall and blocking Lao Jiang's way back. The color of the flame was strange.
There is no heat at all, but it is not a good thing at first glance.
"Saen..."
The Pale Knight's sanity was returning, and her voice became smoother. With the sound of armor colliding, she held the heavy double-edged axe in her hand and pointed it forward.
The old hunter had a blank expression on his face, and the ashes in his palms grew hotter and hotter.
"Come and keep me company, San... I'm so lonely..."
The monster spoke in a tone that sounded like a love story.
He raised his left leg and stepped forward. Pain flashed across old Saan's face at that moment. With two gunshots, the demon-killing bullets flew forward and hit the armor of the Pale Knight.
In the dancing flames, the old hunter dropped his shotgun and pointed the emblem in his hand forward. As his fingers moved away, rays of orange light as bright as the sun burst out from the emblem.
"Samina dear."
Old Saan said in a hoarse voice:
"I am here, I am here to give you rest."
"boom"
The entire underground hall seemed as bright as day at that moment.
A bright and scorching light shot out from Lao San's hand, shining like the sun. The light was so intense, like a flash bomb detonating in the dark, almost blinding Lao Jiang's eyes.
The temperature detection value in front of the left eye's field of vision soared from 17 to an astonishing 3871 in an instant.
It really is like a little sun exploding.
But although the temperature is high, the power is very concentrated. If you are two meters away from Old Saen, you can only feel the rolling heat wave but will not be burned.
The prosthesis in his left eye quickly adjusted its visual mode, and he nimbly squatted down and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the incoming object.
"boom"
A muffled sound.
Jiang Xia looked back and saw the broken, completely melted knight's gauntlet stuck in the stone wall beside him, causing rocks to fly.
The light in front of him faded, and he could hear the screams of pain from that silly monster Liu Hui. Most of her mane was on fire, and a small part of her tail was burnt bald. She was jumping up and down trying to put out the flames.
It stood too close.
He was almost attacked by the golden skyfire in Old Saen's hand.
This thing is really powerful.
Jiang Xia looked up and saw that a gully had been burned out in the center of the underground hall by the eruption of fire. The force impacted the underground hall, destroying the surrounding spirit structures and causing huge rubble to fall from above.
Jiang Xia knew the extent of the shaking without having to guess. The force exploded underground, causing the crumbling castle above to collapse.
At the end of the ravine that was pulled out dozens of meters away, the pale knight who was so cool just now was embedded in the stone wall with his limbs twisted.
The armor on her body was melted into molten iron, and a small part of it was vaporized, finally revealing her body underneath the armor.
Just as the wolf demon said, there is no entity.
A pale spirit rose up from the tattered armor like smoke, and then gathered in the air to form an illusory female figure wearing a white noblewoman's dress and a lady's hat decorated with feathers.
Except for her eyes which are an ominous pure black, this ghost is full of femininity from head to toe. Her figure and appearance are sure to make LSPs' eyes light up.
Take off your pants at the speed of light and then have fun.
"Helia?"
Jiang Xia saw the pale ghost's face and immediately exclaimed.
The face of that ghost monster was almost identical to that of the Baroness, except for the beauty spot under her left eye and her more domineering and mature figure. She looked completely like the mature Baroness Helya.
Now there is no need to guess the identity of this monster.
She should be the missing mother of the Baroness, another witch hunter of the previous generation of the Helford family.
But this is not right!
When I chatted with the Baroness before, didn't she say that her mother died of illness because she missed her father? And what about the tough old Saen, who was so infatuated with love before?
How come this old butler with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tough guy, is having an affair with his mistress?
Could it be that Helya is actually...
At this moment, Lao Jiang's mind has already filled out a bloody plot of hundreds of thousands of words of brothers turning against each other + NTR + mature women + wives + the decadent past of the Versailles aristocracy.
Its wonderfulness is definitely not inferior to a series of youth guidebooks for boys.
but……
The pale knight's armor shattered, the ghost of the monster appeared, and the retreat was blocked again. It seemed that he was about to fight a desperate battle, but he might fail here today.
Now is not the time for you to think about this!!!
asshole!
