Chapter 167

In those days after marriage, no matter what, no one will be bothered.

Harvey almost indulged in the relaxed daily life that ordinary people should have, reading books, drinking tea, calling out messenger black cat to tease when bored, sleeping in bed instead of meditating like ordinary people. If you want to talk about the experience of a few days of leisure, it is that Harvey once again feels the lack of entertainment elements in this world, and one can't find any way of entertainment.

Now that he has moved to the former residence of the Adrian family, it's time for Harvey to investigate the Adrian family.

"Is it here?"

Harvey played the as like as two peas, and the whole house was covered with a light blue light. The scene observed by the sight was transformed into information, and the books were surrounded by tall bookshelves, full of classical books, and when he moved away from here, the owner of the house seemed to have no intention of browsing through these books.

The light blue vision quickly found the discordance of the study. Among the three bookshelves, there was only one in the middle, and the sixth book had been taken out frequently.

Harvey took out this hardcover ancient book, the leather cover shows the book's name "the history of Auston", is a historical biography. Looking page by page, I found something unusual in this book when I turned to the middle. There was a page with a square, in which a mantra was written in simple star script, and there was no special meaning from the understanding of star script language.

"It should be a simple combination of syllables in star script, so that most people can't understand the meaning of this sentence when they read this book. Only those who know star script can understand it, or they can record it by word of mouth. This kind of practice is not uncommon among casters. It is usually a spell to activate the magic array or some special mechanism. "

Harvey closed the book and put it back to its original place, reciting the star mantra shown in the book just now. Under [magic vision], he could observe the surrounding ether elements converging towards the bookshelf, which was equivalent to the wave of casting a first-order magic.

"It's a success!"

"Kacha ~"

Behind the bookshelf came the sound of mechanism rotation. All kinds of gears were operating at high speed. The bookshelf tilted forward slightly to open a hole. However, before Harvey got excited, the sound of mechanism operation stopped suddenly. Then there was a sound of metal collision, and the bookshelf stopped operating completely.

"To be expected, after all, it's impossible to be like in the game. The complex mechanism has not been maintained and has been operating normally for hundreds of years." Harvey shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his right hand and recited the mantra. An invisible negative energy ball formed in his hand and threw it on the bookshelf. A large number of books and wooden bookshelves disappeared silently, revealing a hole leading to the interior. By the light of the study chandelier, you can see a staircase leading to the bottom of the hole.

"Ka ~ Ka ~"

Harvey pressed a mechanism on the inner wall of the passage, but nothing changed.

"The lighting doesn't work, and the smell... Should be the smell of rotting bodies." Harvey frowned and covered his nose. With a bad feeling in his heart, he swore and cast a first-order universal magic [magic light].

Several light balls light up on Harvey's shoulder. Harvey uses [magic vision] to guard the surroundings carefully. The light balls on his shoulder automatically shoot in all directions and stick to the wall, illuminating the whole underground space.

When the basement was fully illuminated, Harvey stopped, his face heavy.

The spacious basement was not as simple as he thought, but Harvey could not imagine that there were mummies everywhere in the basement. There were strange torture props hanging on the wall. There were four or five corpses piled in a large cage next to it, and there were two outside the cage. Besides, there were strange magic circles drawn with blood not far away from the corpse.

"The clothes on these two bodies... Are indeed their missing parents." Harvey squatted down to examine the body lying on the ground, and directly recognized that it was the clothes that his parents often wore, and now he has no special feeling.

Harvey pinched his nose and turned over the body: "there is no obvious injury to the body, and the cause of death can not be determined for the time being."

Then came to the cage to check the body inside: "the body has been gnawed traces, the wound is neat and smooth, the cause of death of these people is likely to be starvation, and then because they are locked up together in order to survive, gnawing at the body of a companion."

"It can be judged that their parents died first, and no one in the cage was fed and starved to death."

Looking at the traces of human teeth on the corpse, Harvey could not help but feel a thrill. What kind of despair did the people in the cage experience.

This basement is more like a Dark Wizard's invisible laboratory. After patrolling, Harvey finds research notes and recording crystals. A book records the method of calling demons by the founders of the Adrian family, and a note records the experimental records of Harvey's parents. On the first page of the note, it says: "only the status of the Adrian family can be restored."

"On July 3, use the blood of the girl to draw the summoning array. The material died of excessive blood loss ·"

"On July 4, fill the core with the blood of the tortured, and the material is dying."

"On July 5th, sacrifice the desperate

"It's said that a woman with fairy blood can be bought at a high price. If she can replace her blood! The Adrian family will become a family of noble casters! "

"On July 6, all the preparations are complete. If there is no accident, the Adrian family will

······

After reading the two notes, Harvey thought in a complicated mood and came to a heavy conclusion: "his ancestors should have become casters by calling demons and paying a certain price."

"But the offspring didn't continue this ability, so their parents found the notes of their ancestors and wanted to copy what he did

"The plot is so old-fashioned."

"The note taking stopped one day before the experiment, which means that there must have been an accident that led to the tragic death of their parents, and the caged people had no chance to escape and starve to death." After reading the notes, Harvey's last regret for the death of his parents is gone. Although he is not a gentleman, he has received modern education, and he is disgusted and angry with his parents' experiments.

"It's probably an accident in the experiment."

Harvey begins to carefully check the magic crystal that records information. The content displayed in the magic crystal is that Harvey's parents are abusing some people and using torture tools to torture them. They talk about the magic array with blood. They are very uncomfortable. When they check the last crystal, Harvey's spirit penetrates into the magic crystal to supplement its magic power and activate the projection image stored in it, In the picture, a figure Harvey is very familiar with, Shirley in her girlhood.

"Shirley?"

"Sure enough, it was mentioned in the notes that she was the woman who had elf blood. She had been to this basement, but she didn't tell herself." Harvey's heart sank.

In the projection of magic crystal, Harvey's parents bring her here. Her body is also scarred, with blood oozing from the snow-white lining. Shirley obediently stands in the center of the so-called demon summoning array. With Harvey's parents chanting a mantra, the magic crystal seems to have suffered some interference and become invalid.

Harvey stood up, not caring about what happened in the basement. What his ancestors and parents did had nothing to do with him, but Harvey was more concerned about why Shirley, who knew everything, didn't tell him how Shirley really escaped from here, and why she didn't die like the people here, And then what made Harvey most creepy was why Shirley could escape and watch the people in the cage starve to death.

There are many reasons to assume that Harvey has never been an optimist, and Shirley is more likely to have any problems.

"The biggest possibility is that there is an accident in the experiment. Isn't it common in games or movies? For example, people who are regarded as sacrifices have become the hosts of demons. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why only Shirley survived."

"But why did she survive? Why didn't Shirley kill Harvey at that time? Harvey didn't feel anything unusual in Shirley for so many years."
