Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 19: The Fun of Games (Part 1)
This was the first time that Li Lin actually traveled inside this building.
Before, they would either find a so-called guest room and fall asleep there, or simply identify antiques outside, or go to their basement to dismantle the underground palace. It didn't look like they were serious about taking a look here, so strictly speaking, this was Li Lin's first time to come to the interior of this so-called family ancestral home.
In Li Lin's eyes, the arrogance of their family can be fully reflected from the interior of this ancestral house. It may be due to the long-term smoke and fire, or it may be simply to show their wealth and strength. They have constructed a majestic and magnificent world inside the Gothic style building. Countless exquisite murals and tapestries are laid on the ceiling and floor, and every step is stepped on works of art that are unknown how many years old.
The lights on both sides were filled with mysterious elements. These oil lamps extracted power from supernatural secrets and could burn infinitely and forever. It was nothing more than two elements: time and lighting. But if it was just one or two lamps, it would be the same. However, in front of Li Lin, until the end of the corridor, even at the gate where the visual shrinkage phenomenon had occurred, this long road was full of lights filled with mysterious elements and murals and tapestries that were never repeated, with different styles and colorful colors.
Li Lin had no doubt that any random item picked from here could be sold for an extremely terrifying price.
But the servants living here obviously didn't know the value of these things, or even if they did, they didn't care. They just cleaned and tidied up the areas they were responsible for according to the normal rules and regulations.
In fact, the actual number of servants living here is likely beyond Li Lin's imagination. Along the way, there are no less than dozens of servants responsible for cleaning and sweeping, and the entire building complex is just like a hill when you first see it. Perhaps this place has already formed a system in itself.
In ancient times, wealthy merchants or wealthy families often built small walls around their homes to protect themselves and ensure that their servants had accurate knowledge and loyalty to them. At that time, the number of servants was often thousands or even tens of thousands. Li Lin had never been clear about what level of wealthy people they were, but watching these servants appear silently around him and then disappear around the corner, Li Lin suddenly realized that this might be the power of wealth.
These servants were born, grew old, got sick and died in the mansion, and they had sex and reproduced with each other, not knowing what was beautiful or ugly, good or bad. So it was almost impossible to expect these deaf and dumb servants to have any clues.
So Li Lin didn't ask anything or make any strange moves along the way, but memorized the surrounding terrain and decorations firmly in his mind.
The deaf and mute servants kept walking in the corridors, turning a corner from time to time or going down the stairs.
After passing through three gardens similar to the one outside, which were filled with a gloomy and eerie atmosphere, they came to a house full of roses. They silently opened the door of the room, indicating that Li Lin and Sally could go in.
The two of them did not suspect anything and walked in directly. After confirming that the two residents had arrived at the guest room, the waiter whose communication ability was sealed bowed, and then left the area quietly like their supervisor. No one knew what ability he used, or if this was just their way of life.
"…Well, it looks like their guest bedroom is a whole house."
Looking at the load-bearing columns standing around and the huge white bed surrounded by gauze curtains, Li Lin shrugged.
Just like when I first came here, it was like falling into a dream world. Outside the window was a garden full of red roses, and inside were rooms full of luxurious decorations.
Although the ancestors of this family were full of unspeakable malice and hatred towards their descendants, their attitude towards guests was still very good. The fire was burning quietly in the center of the room, and the props with constant magic power were neatly placed around it.
Some poetic landscape paintings and unexpectedly beautiful calligraphy paintings were framed around the stove, and a very pleasant fragrance was burning in the stove. It didn't look like a low-grade item, and Li Lin's concentration bar gradually recovered as the incense surrounded him.
It's quite a considerate service.
Pressing the sofa and feeling its softness, Li Lin relaxed his body and lay on it, feeling the rare softness.
And Sally, who had been in invisible state, also appeared at this time, and threw herself on the big bed that seemed to cover an area of one hundred square meters. She jumped from time to time, feeling the soft touch, and cheered.
Ah, that's true. Although the things in the Kingdom of Love are all beautiful things that are the manifestation of divine power, they are not very comfortable to some extent. And it is impossible to have such a soft big bed in the celestial city. Now that I have come across such a good thing, it is normal to feel good.
Take a break for a while.
Li Lin sat on the sofa and closed his eyes.
However, it didn't take long before he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.
The murals of light and darkness carved on it show people surrounded by light, defeating the grotesque army of darkness and cheering for their victory.
"I feel like this mission is a bit interesting..."
Looking at the scene depicted above, Li Lin narrowed his eyes and read the brief introduction of the task, feeling a little weird in his heart.
"A mysterious family, then inexplicable letters, a disappearing curse, and finally an even weirder cognitive cover-up. Even when it was revealed, it was so indifferent. No matter how you look at it from a family's perspective, they are too confident, right? Unless they are confident that they can really suppress a magic awakening-level character... this is not surprising at all..."
"My Lord, what are you going to do? Kill them all? Then I can help you, right?"
Those who deceive adults should just die.
Sitting on the edge of the bed and swinging her legs, Sally tilted her head and looked at her lover with an innocent smile.
