Chapter 309 Mermaid Statue

Seeing the MI6 certificate, the old man inside the door immediately showed his face Horrified expression. Shade shoved him sharply, causing the old man to stumble back a step, and he walked in the door.

He closed the door behind him with a bang. He raised his right hand and pressed his hat. Shade stood in the shadow of the hallway. He was much taller than the old man, and it was even more apparent now. Gives an oppressive temperament:

"If there is no problem, don't bother me in the attic, I will leave naturally after I take something."

"You, you"

p>

The old man leaned against the wall leaning on crutches with both hands, didn't expect youngster to break in like this.

"Any questions?"

"No no, no, but you can take his stuff, and I won't refund the rent!"

He He said in a hoarse voice, with a frightened but persistent look.

"Rent? You think I'd care about that?"

Shade smiled deliberately, then walked up the creaking stairs, ignoring the old man behind him.

He is very satisfied with his acting skills.

Le Maire complained about the landlord of the house in his diary, and he was a typical bully. When Le Maire first came to rent the house, the old man tried to kill him, but after the crew exposed his worse and worse character, the landlord immediately gave a relatively fair price.

It's not a good person to be a landlord in such a relatively chaotic wharf block with an old man panting against the wall behind him. According to Le Maire's guess, the other party seems to be using the workshop in the basement to smuggle contraband in the new continent to produce some shady medicine.

It's puzzling to do such a thing at such a young age, but Shade isn't going to investigate further.

Judging from the diary, Le Maire, who successfully took office two years ago, just entered the second ring this spring. He didn't record the precautions he set for the attic in his diary, but the other party is not a church ring warlock, and it is impossible to be an Academy ring warlock, so there should be not many means available.

The door to the attic was locked, and three large locks closed the door together.

It happened that I got a new spell [Key of the Door] from my past adventures last night. This spell can open anything with the concept of "lock", and the actual effect depends on the lock itself. The power depends on the power of the Shade itself.

After hesitating for a while, he reached out and tapped the top black iron lock. With the power of the spell, the lock popped open with a click.

"Oh? Does it work?"

Shade looked towards his finger, and then knocked on the brass lock in the middle with great anticipation, and the lock opened automatically. .

"With this ability, if I'm the kind of person who doesn't follow the right path, I'm afraid Tobesque will appear a brilliant thief."

Shade in the heart He sighed, chatted with the smiling woman, and finally hit the lock on the bottom latch inserted into the floor, but this time encountered some obstacles. He clearly felt that some force was blocking the use of the spell. Fortunately, this obstacle was not strong. After a little touch, the last lock was also opened.

Picked up the rusted iron lock and checked it, and found that there were imperceptible nicks on the inside of the lock head. Strictly speaking, this lock is not an alchemy item, it is just treated with rune, so that when the lock is violently opened, the lock head will have an explosive effect of breaking people's hands.

It might work for an ordinary person, but for a ring warlock, it won't be fooled with a little attention.

Opening the door, Shade walked into the attic after waiting for a while without hearing any abnormal noise inside.

The entire attic is transparent and is a large room, the size of two master bedrooms of Detective Sparrow. The interior is dim, with common furniture such as wardrobes, bookshelves, tables, and beds. There are some black and white printed color magazines on the desktop, and a pile of tax receipts is placed on the coffee table. It looks like a boring single man room with no suspicious items on the surface.

First, use [Past Echoes] to listen to the voices within 48 hours, and make sure that no one has been here recently before looking towards the surroundings:
"Can you feel the traces of the relics?"

Turning on the gas light, Shade stood by the window, slightly opened the gap in the curtain with his fingers, and asked while looking out cautiously.

[There is a strong Whisper element, look to the left. ]

On the left is the wardrobe, and at the top of the wardrobe are some cardboard boxes. The elements are mainly inside the closet, so Shade put on gloves and reached out to open the closet door.

Just as my hand grasped the handle of the wardrobe, a yin wind that seemed to penetrate deep into the bone immediately blew in the room with the doors and windows closed. Then came the sound of footsteps behind him, Shade turned around, and saw a rotting corpse rushing towards him. That terrifying look made Shade's heart startled even if he was prepared.

"The thief!"

The bright red gums are clearly visible in the open mouth of corrosion.

[Illusion. ]

"I know."

He released the doorknob with his palm, and the Yin Feng and the corpse that rushed over disappeared. Holding the door handle, the corpse and Yin Feng appeared again.

So Shade bent down and studied it, and sure enough, he saw rune carefully engraved on the doorknob:

"This person is really good at rune, but after all, he has just been promoted. The second ring, and the foundation is not solid."

Thinking in my heart, a beam of moonlight flew out of my hand, splitting the door handle of the wardrobe into two sections, and then opened the cabinet door.

The smell of mold came from the inside. In the small wardrobe, there were several men's clothes, two cool women's clothes and a white garter hanging on the left side. What the technicians left behind were Le Maire's special hobbies, but they were all just ordinary clothes.

There is something covered with a red cloth on the right side. Shade reached out to lift the red cloth, but he frowned as soon as his hand was stretched out, and immediately took a step back.

From the perspective of shape, the shape of this thing is very similar to the cloth-covered mermaid statue he had seen.

"I knew there was going to be trouble."

Shade doesn't know the specific way of spreading this strange mortal curse, but if you don't touch the source of the curse, you must resist The best way to curse.

So regardless of whether there are other valuables in the closet, I found a poker from the side and closed the closet door very carefully. Looking at the door of the cabinet, after waiting for half a minute, there was no abnormality, and then I felt a little relieved. Even with tens of thousands of pounds in cash in the wardrobe, Shade would never open the door again.

After that, the search continued, but unfortunately, there was only this [relic] in the wardrobe in the attic. In addition to the relics, after a careful search of the room, Shade also found 23 gold pounds and 7 crowns in cash. The crown is the currency of Kasenrick, and it is indeed necessary for seafarers who are active at sea and new continents to hold foreign currency.

The coins are just a small gain. The most important gain is actually an old book [Wind of the Abyss] related to [Wind] spirit rune, as well as Le Maire's ring warlock notes and letters.

Any ring warlock must be related to a certain organization. The harsh employment conditions and complex power system determine that there is no single ring warlock. Judging from those letters, the opportunity for Le Maire to become a ring warlock was that when the innate talent was awakened two years ago, he met a passenger who took a boat to a new continent, so he embarked on the road of ring warlock.

The name of the organization they belong to is "Sea Breeze Club", which Shade has never heard of, but from the knowledge Le Maire wrote in his notebook and his usual communication with friends, this should be The kind of small club formed by several warlocks together may be slightly stronger than Dr. Schneider's five-member team.

In addition to his own experience, Le Maire also described what happened after he realized that he was cursed.

Aware of the curse, 3 months after getting the statue from the warehouse dispatcher. Thought of that mermaid statue from a strange dream, and after realizing that it was the source of the curse, the dull Le Maire finally realized that it was a relic.

Writing to the club for help, after describing what happened to him, the club immediately cut off all contact with him. Later, like the dispatcher who had been shot by Shade, Le Maire also knew that judging from what he had done, if he went to the church for help, he would definitely die. method.

Although he died of a curse in the end, strictly speaking, this low-ring warlock abandoned by the organization did discover something.
