Cesare pulled the monster's tongue hard again, and heard a "bang!" sound. The monster's long tongue was pulled out by the roots, fell to the stone ground, struggled and twisted a few times, and turned into a puddle of stagnant water.
The monster also covered his mouth in the most extreme pain and fell into the depths of his dark cell, with gushing black blood flowing out along the crack in the door.
Several cell doors around him were silent, and pairs of eyes in the darkness trembled, looking at Cesare with fear as he no longer dared to make any sound.
And Cesare was panting, waving his hands nonchalantly to wipe away the black blood on his body, and looking at the eyes that were afraid of him, Cesare was thinking about other things at this time.
Thinking that these monsters locked in the dungeon all have silver rings on their fingers...it shows that Hunyadi has been studying how to inhibit the infection of the human body by hyphae.
Cesare looked at his fingers, looking at the ten lightweight "silver rings" tightly fixed on his hands and lost in thought... Pure silver can inhibit the activity of mycelium, but it is not a long-term solution. He has it at any time. It could turn into something terrible again...
He shook his head, thinking that there was no use in thinking now. He had to ask the earl for a clear explanation.
When Cesare looked at Anya again, the girl blinked and looked at him in surprise, as if she was looking at a complete stranger.
"What's wrong?" Cesare asked calmly.
"Well...it's nothing, I just feel like I never want to eat roasted duck tongue again." Anya shrugged her shoulders and forced a smile on her face.
"Come on, before anyone hears this."
As he spoke, Cesare tightened his cloak that was stained with all kinds of blood. There were people's blood and even monster's blood. The blood of different colors seeped into the cloth, exuding a terrible fishy smell, and even more so. luster.
The two continued to explore forward. The stone tile floor in the dungeon would carry the sound far away, which was a risk and also provided help to Cesare and the others.
As long as they keep their footsteps as quiet as possible, they can hear the patrolling footsteps in time and avoid being discovered.
After walking around for a long time, I finally found the stairs leading up and away in a spacious area. Fortunately, there were no guards guarding the place. Maybe they learned that someone had escaped, so the manpower was so tight that they chased him outside to look for him.
The stairs are so long that you can't see the end. The walls on both sides become narrower and narrower as you go up the stairs. The light from above can't shine down, and the light in the dungeon can't shine either. It gets darker and darker until you can't see your feet clearly. stairs.
"Anya...can you grab my clothes a little bit so I know you're still behind me."
Cesare walked in front. Although he understood that this staircase was just dark and would not cause any accidents, all the previous experiences made Cesare still long for more peace of mind.
Anya, who was following closely behind, responded with a smile, and then Cesare felt a corner of his cloak being gently pulled up. Although he was in a dark environment again, Cesare could at least feel that he was not alone. .
Carefully walking up the steps one after another, I remembered that in my childhood memory there was a staircase that extended downwards with no end in sight, but I never had the chance to go down and find out what was under the stairs.
Thinking that it might be the stairs he was currently walking on, Cesare finally knew what was under the stairs. However, when he was a child, he wanted to go down and have a look, but when he grew up, he was eager to get out.
Fortunately, the unpleasant smell in the dungeon slowly disappeared as they gradually left, and the air they breathed became fresher.
The long staircase seems to extend infinitely, and there are several turns that I can't remember the direction of, but no matter how long the staircase is, it will eventually come to an end.
Cesare vaguely saw the door at the end, and a small amount of light penetrated through the gap in the door and shone on his face. Cesare walked quickly towards the light.
First, he pushed the door subconsciously and found that it could not be opened. Then he remembered that the stairwell in his memory opened inward. With a slight pull, the door opened.
The breeze caressed the face.
Walking out of the stairwell door, the familiar corridor in my memory appeared before me again.
The soft dark red carpet is spread to the corner directly in front. The retro walls on both sides are exactly the same as in memory, both in dim color and pattern. The moonlight shines into the corridor from a row of narrow windows and is followed by the breeze. And blowing the gossamer curtains.
But why is it Black Sky again? Cesare complained in his heart. He had lost the concept of time in the dungeon and could only pray that he had only passed out for a day.
Before Cesare could continue to sigh, hurried footsteps came from deep in the stairs behind the two of them, and it sounded like someone was coming up from the dungeon.
After closing the stairwell door quietly again, Cesare quickly took Anya's hand. "Follow me." After saying that, he led Anya forward along the corridor. When he passed one of the windows in a row, Cesare subconsciously looked out the window.
The intertwined dark green thorns are still entangled around the window, and some have even crawled into the room, leaving fractures on them that have been trimmed by servants.
I remember that there was a pure white rose blooming on the thorns at that time, but when I came back this time, the rose was long gone, and it should have withered long ago.
But what surprised Cesare was that there was a black crow standing on the thorns. It did not fly or sing, as if it had been waiting for Cesare for a long time. A pair of scarlet bird's eyes and Cesare Lei looked at each other as if the statue had never changed.
Cesare quickly ran past the window, feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, as if nothing had changed, and as if there was something that would never return...
Touching his forehead, the rising temperature burned his palms and made Cesare realize that he had started to have a fever again. Time was running out and he had to see the old count as soon as possible.
At the end of the long corridor is a hall, followed by more branching corridors. The interior structure of the Hunyadi family's castle is intricate, and the layers are like a maze that makes people unable to figure out the direction.
However, this place is not a problem for Cesare, who has grown up playing hide-and-seek with his sister here. He can identify the direction by relying on the portraits and stone pillars in his memory.
Passing through doors one after another and corridors one after another, the huge Hunyadi Castle has nearly three hundred rooms. It is rumored that the interior of the castle is also designed to prevent enemy penetration and invasion.
If a stranger breaks into this place, he will definitely not be able to figure out the entire castle within a few days at the earliest.
After being pulled around by Cesare for a few times, Anya could no longer tell the difference between east, west and north. The girl felt dazzled and dizzy as the complicated rooms and corridors around her changed before her eyes.
She remembered that she was able to find the dungeon because a kind-hearted cardinal led the way. If she were allowed to explore the castle by herself, it would be difficult to find Cesare even at dawn.
In addition, there was only the moonlight outside the window for illumination at this time, and Anya couldn't remember where she came from or which direction she was going. Even finding the gate of the castle was a problem.
