The one hundred and forty-eighth palm night exploration of the haunted house (1)
Danica lived a very peaceful life in the next period of time. Through research on the history of magic and combining her experience of wind-based magic, she gradually improved her understanding of magic.
A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and summer has completely entered. The entire villa area has become lush and green, a dark or light green. The greening here is very good, but the side effect is that there will be many mosquitoes in summer. Although Danica is not afraid of mosquitoes - the blood flowing on her body contains highly toxic, and some highly toxic snakes and scorpions dare not bite her, let alone mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes are also quite annoying.
On that day, Danica was sitting on the sofa in the living room, erecting her legs on the coffee table, drinking the iced juice while looking through the notes she had made before.
Just as Danica was immersed in her sight, the door opened and Aphro walked in with a tired face.
Danica picked up the juice and greeted Afuro: "Long time no see." They did not meet for several days, and they didn't know what Afuro was busy with these days.
Afuro nodded without saying a word, and sat directly in front of Danica, looking at Danica with bloodshot eyes.
Danica put the juice down and said with a smile: "What's wrong? What do you think of me?"
Afuro hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you participate in an event?"
Danica asked casually: "What activity is it?"
Aphro said, "I made a bet with Allens and agreed to go to the haunted house on June 24th, the night after tomorrow. Will you participate?"
Haunted house adventure? What's this all! These nobles know how to play, Danica shook her head and said, "No, I'm a little busy with my studies recently." She agreed with Neos's statement. The most important thing to come here is to study, learn magic, learn history, and learn any knowledge she lacks, but the adventure is obviously not included.
Afulu's stiff face had already eased at the beginning, and a smile appeared on her face again, and she said, "It's not for nothing. If you go, you will be rewarded."
Danica didn't look up and asked, "What reward?"
Afuro said: "A class notes on wind magic." Afuro said this sentence with confidence. She firmly believed that Danica would not refuse the conditions she offered.
Danica's originally loose nerves tense up in an instant, and she said slowly: "This does not comply with the regulations." The college has special regulations that it is not allowed to spread the things explained in class, otherwise how can the college charge high tuition fees? Those who violate this regulations will be severely punished by the three major magic academies, including the destruction of the body and soul.
Afuro smiled and said, "You are right, this does not comply with the regulations, but who knows?" Afuro was obviously not an honest student who would be subject to regulations.
This temptation is a bit big for Danica! Although there are complete textbooks in the college library, she can't understand it without cooperating with the professor's explanation. If there is a class notes, it will be much easier to do. Even if it is a little slower, she can compare it with the slower self-study.
Danica was silent for a while and said, "Can I read that note first?"
Afulo said heartily: "Of course it's OK." As she said that, she took out a thick notebook and threw it to Danica.
Danica took it and looked it up. She was indeed a serious student. Her class notes were taken in detail. With this notes as a cooperation, she would definitely be able to understand the textbooks.
Danica put away her notebook and said with a smile: "Okay, deal!" As for how Afuro got this class notes and how many sinful transactions are there behind it, Danica doesn't care.
A Fuluo also smiled and said, "Okay, you can prepare for it, this adventure is not that easy."
Since she took on this job, Danica naturally had to understand the specific situation. She asked curiously: "We still have a haunted house here? There are ghosts?"
Afuro explained: "Ghosts, it sounds mysterious. They are actually just soul bodies, which scares ordinary people. It is not a big problem for magicians like us. As for haunted houses, there are no rumors of haunted houses in which city, specifically the haunted house we are going to explore this time is actually a haunted house, a abandoned apartment. Because of the remote location and high floors, it has become a good place to commit suicide."
"It is also a good place for crime." Danica herself is not afraid of ghosts and gods, so what she immediately thought of was the "practical use" of this haunted house. This kind of secluded and desolate place, and the haunted legend, is simply a crime paradise.
Afuro laughed and said, "You are right. It is also a good place for crime. You can go there for anything shameful, as long as you are braver."
Danica picked up her juice and asked, "Why did you think of such a bet with Allens?"
Afuro said vaguely: "There are some disputes between him and I that cannot be resolved, so I just found a way to compete."
Seeing that Afuro was unwilling to say it clearly, Danica didn't ask much. The two of them talked about the academy casually, and Afuro left in a hurry, as if they came back this trip to finalize Danica.
Two days passed quickly. At noon on the 24th, Danica had just had lunch outside. When she came back, she saw Afuro sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for her.
"How is it, are you ready? Let's go now." It can be seen that Afuro was a little excited today.
"Oh, okay, I'll get some things, they're all ready." Danica responded and returned to her bedroom. In fact, Danica has always carried the things needed for emergency, but this is a way to reassure the employer, that is, Aphro.
Danica walked around her bedroom and came out, saying, "Okay, let's go."
There was a carriage prepared by Afuro outside. After the two girls got in, Danica asked, "Did we go there so early?" Didn't Afuro say that the real adventure will not take place until the evening? It's noon now.
Afuro looked out the window and said, "The road is far, it takes some time."
It can be heard that Afuro was a little uneasy. It seemed that this adventure, or this bet, was very important to her, but there were some questions Danica had to ask clearly: "What purpose do you want to achieve through this bet?" She has already joined the group, so she must understand the purpose of this activity.
Aphro turned his head and said, "I want to teach Ellens a profound lesson."
Danica still didn't get the exact answer she wanted: "What kind of profound lesson? Isn't it a top-up?"
Afuro was a little surprised, but still looked into Danica's eyes and said, "It's just what you think, no cap is allowed."
Danica nodded and said, "I understand." After that, she closed her eyes, leaned in the carriage and began to close her eyes to rest.
The so-called "no cap" means that the lessons taught by Alans can be infinitely large, including keeping him there forever. There is no need to worry that the college will interfere. Studying here, the relationship between students and the college is seriously unequal. Although the huge tuition fee is charged, the college does not have the obligation to ensure the safety of students. There are many students who die in the college every year due to various accidents, let alone those who die outside, and no one cares about it.
The carriage was very stable on the flat road. Danica was really asleep in a daze. When she woke up, it was almost here, and it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
The haunted house they were going to explore this time was located at No. 14 Eusen Road. After entering Eusen Road, Aphro and Danica got out of the carriage, found a place, ordered some things, and waited for the sun to set while eating.
Halfway through the meal, Martha and Entez also came. Danica had met them at Mekas' banquet before, and they were both supporters of Aphro.
Martha is very small, about 1.6 meters tall, and she is very thin. Her face has always looked pale and her face is slightly freckled. Although she is not good-looking, she is also the princess of the Principal of Slint. The Principal of Slint is just southwest of the Principal of Tulips. Although the two sides are not bordered, they are very close.
Ernst is the second son of the General of the Principality of Kale. He doesn't look like a magician at all. He is tall, dark-skinned and strong, and looks more like a warrior or knight. It is said that Ernst is Aphro's admirer, but he also knows that Aphro would not like him, so he sets his lifelong wish to become Aphro's guardian knight, and he doesn't know how a magician becomes a "guardian knight".
Seeing the two of them, Afuro put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth and said, "You guys are here too, have you had supper?"
Ernst replied, "I've eaten it, are we going to go now?" He also looked at Danica - although Aphro had put down the knife and fork, Danica did not stop. Although he felt Ernst's gaze, Danica didn't care. She was not full yet. It would be difficult to bear it tonight. If you don't eat more, how can you get through it?
Afuro said, "No, it's still early, it's probably an hour before the sun sets. Let's wait here for a while!"
The four people were sitting there, the other three were chatting casually, only Danica was still stuffing beef into her mouth, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Half an hour passed when Danica was fully fed, Afuro couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect your appetite to be so good, Danica." During this period, she had eaten steak for four people. For a girl, this appetite was indeed "too good".
Danica wiped her mouth with a napkin and said, "Habit problem, I eat more when I'm nervous."
"Are you nervous now?" Afuro asked.
Danica nodded and said, "Yes, and also excited."
Afuro didn't say anything else, and stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
When the four of them arrived at No. 14 Yousen Road, the sun had completely set, leaving only a little afterglow in the horizon.
Danica looked at the haunted house they were going to explore today. It was a four-story apartment with a large yard with a rusty iron fenced door locked the yard. It can be seen that the design here was very good at the beginning. There was a garden, rockery, and a small pond in the yard. But now it has been completely abandoned. The rockery is full of moss, the pond has long been dry, and the garden is full of weeds. And because it is summer, the weeds are quite prosperous, and they are more than half a person tall, so you can't find anything hidden inside.
After waiting for a while at the door, Alans and the others also came over, and there were four people. In addition to Alans who Danica knew and Lauren with a rascal look, there was also a girl with long chestnut hair and a tall and thin boy. Lauren was carrying a long strip behind him, and he didn't know what it was.
Seeing Alans and the others, Alfro said happily: "Since people have already arrived, let's go. Let's talk about the rules again. You must stay in this apartment before dawn and not be discharged from the yard wall." In other words, you can actually stay in the yard.
Alans looked at Alfro in surprise. They arrived later, and asked this unruly princess to wait for others, even if she had just waited for a minute, she would have to bear the complaint. Unexpectedly, Alfro is so easy to talk to today. Alans nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
Neither of them said what the punishment would be if they lost, or there was no so-called punishment at all. Thinking of this, Danica's heart became more and more nervous and excited, but she didn't know how many outsiders involved in this gambling knew the truth.
Afuro didn't care about Alans anymore, and reached out to hold the rusted lock. Soon, the lock seemed to be burned red, and it emitted a dull dark red. Then Afuro pulled it hard and pulled the lock down.
Afuro took Danica and the others into the apartment first.
As soon as he walked in, Danica felt a cold breath coming to her face. This was not the belief caused by the environment. This was the sensing of the external aura by a powerful magician. I believe that the other three people also had this feeling.
Martha looked at Afulo with some fear, but Afulo ignored her and walked in quickly.
The apartment is a small hall with a sofa and coffee table for guests. It has not been destroyed much, but there is a thick gray on it. There is also a large mirror on the wall on the left, which is also covered with a layer of gray. Danica noticed that the dust on the ground was not uniform, and some footprints could be seen vaguely. It seems that this place is not completely abandoned, and someone has discovered other functions here.
The corridor extends to both sides, with two stairs divided equally on both sides. Afuro said, "We'll just find a room here today and stay for one night."
Seeing Afuro going to walk to the stairs, Martha said, "Let's be on the first floor." It's better to hide below in such an evil place. Who knows what will happen above!
ps: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, they are also wandering outside to work, living in a simple apartment, writing ghost stories based on their residence as the background. Sometimes they will scare themselves. Life is not easy, please support me.
