The Master of the Strange Realm

The castle is very gloomy, but compared to the hell-like corridors of the "Night Manor" that Jenkins once experienced, this place is really not worth mentioning. He led Miss Silufu and left the door along the corridor on the left side of the hall. The corridor was somewhat sloping and curved. When they encountered the first corner, the two of them pushed open the door of the broom cupboard on the side. After throwing away the cleaning tools inside, they entered another new corridor through the trap door behind the cupboard. .

He carefully dodged the activated iron armor patrolling the new corridor with a spear, and then found a room with a red door mark. After opening the door, Elf and Jenkins cleaned up the poisonous spiders inside, then removed the heavy solid wood wardrobe, followed the hole under the wardrobe, and climbed the rope to the basement.

To get to the first floor kitchen, a circuit through the basement is the safest way.

Chapter 2136 Chapter 2105 The Drinking Skeleton

Below the wardrobe is the east room of the basement wine cellar. In it, the two met a skeleton holding a wine glass and pouring wine into his mouth. It sits cross-legged on an oak wine barrel. The lid of the wine barrel is a wooden grille, so the wine poured into the skull will follow the bones and re-enter the barrel, and then be scooped up by the skeleton using the strange white bone wine glass.

Except for the splashing of drinks, this almost constitutes a never-ending cycle. It doesn't look very scary, but rather a bit funny.

The skeleton spotted the two people who landed from the hole, but it just turned its head and glanced, and then continued its "drinking" action. This thing is indeed marked on the map in Jenkins' hand. Although it is inside the castle, it is a relatively friendly target. Although it is an interactive object, as long as you ignore it, it will not interact with anyone passing by.

It was Miss Silufu who provided additional information. Although she had not passed through this place during her lifetime adventures, she knew that such neutral monsters in the castle had information about the castle. In addition, if you are willing to pay the price, you can also exchange some items from these monsters. These items do not belong to the castle but only belong to the monsters, so they can be taken away from the strange situation.

"It's just what my companions told me, but it has not been verified."

Miss Elf said nervously.

Jenkins thought for a moment and did not continue walking. Instead, he temporarily stopped and approached the skeleton.

"Do you have any wine?"

The skeleton suddenly turned its head and asked the two people in ancient Elvish language. Miss Siluf shook her head hesitantly, and Jenkins replied:

"I don't have wine, but I have a glass."

With that said, he took out B-03-1-8383 [The Secret Wine Glass of Fear] from his backpack. This is a Class B extraordinary item that Jenkins obtained from the "Supernatural Events Mutual Aid Association" a long time ago. This wine glass not only has the effect of spreading fear, but more importantly, it can brew fear into spiritual wine.

In order to make it most effective, the wine glass was lent to Dolores by Jenkins, who, under the power of Her Royal Highness, collected fear in prisons and other locations. In order to be fully prepared this time, Jenkins brought this wine glass with him.

Any item that can increase the user's spirit is extremely valuable, but now is the last moment. Jenkins understands what can be discarded and what he needs.

"Nice cup."

The skeleton stopped scooping out the wine from the barrel beneath him and spoke in an extremely monotonous voice.

"I want to trade this cup for something from you, is that okay?"

"Can."

The skeleton nodded, pointing his finger bones to the wine barrel beneath him:

"Your cup is very good. I can exchange it for my cup and allow each of you to drink a glass of my wine. My wine is very good and allows you..."

It pointed at the elf, who hid behind Jenkins uneasily.

"It allows you to enter the next stage immediately. It allows you to..."

It paused:

"Quench your thirst."

"No, we don't need your cup, nor your wine. I want some information in exchange."

The soul fire in the skull's eye sockets flickered a few times:

"You can ask, but I may not answer. When I think I have answered enough, you must give me the cup."

"what do you think?"

Jenkins asked his companion, Miss Siluf thought for a while:

"Maybe you can try it, but your cup, do you really have to pay for it in a place like this? I also have some good things..."

"No need."

Jenkins declined politely, not having the nerve to say that the things on the other party were actually not valuable.

"Okay, first question, who is the lord here?"

This is what he is most worried about. The old butler outside the castle has been hinting at this character. Jenkins is very worried that the returning lord will be something more terrifying than the power of the Disaster Beast.

"You don't need to know this, the lord will not appear. This is a separated area, and the lord does not have time to look at this corner."

Jenkins felt much more relieved when it said this.

"Do you have anything to ask?"

He asked Miss Elf again, who thought for a moment:

"Do you know the butler outside the door?"

"I know, the guy with an impure mind should have been responsible for handling the affairs of the castle, but instead he made the castle what it is now for himself. Before returning to the lord's world here, if it fails to find a way to go to your world, then It’s dead.”

When the skeleton said this, his tone was finally no longer so emotionless.

"Then it's my turn again. We want to get out of here. Can you just tell us where the door is?"

"Of course not, although I do know that, but we all have to abide by the rules."

Because he had already guessed that this would be the result, Jenkins was not disappointed and signaled the elf to continue asking. Miss Silufu frowned and asked:

"So, how much do you know about the paintings in the hidden room on the second floor?"

Obtaining the painting is a task that must be completed after obtaining the map. Silufu can also provide some reference points for Jenkins regarding the four monsters that need to be defeated, but these additional tasks are completely different from what she has experienced.

"I haven't been there, I don't know."

"And what about the scarlet gem in the tower on the right side of the castle?"

The elf asked again.

"I know this. The gem at the highest point of the tower on the right is related to blood, reproduction, and curses. You'd better not touch it, otherwise you will definitely become a madman thirsty for sex. He doesn't care, but don't hold it for too long. Time...you can only ask one question. Regardless of whether I can answer it, you must give me the glass. I haven't tasted fear for a long time."

Just the news about the gem was worth Jenkins paying for the wine glass. He nodded and handed the wine glass directly over:

"Forget the last question, this one is yours."

The skeleton didn't hesitate and snatched the cup from Jenkins' hand almost as if by force. He put the wine glass on his face and rubbed it for a while:

"I know what you mean, but since I took your stuff, I won't take advantage of it. The castle was invaded by something that smelled like oil. The damn old butler made an agreement with it and even got a moon photo. Bright and noble shadow. The steward will definitely not let you leave easily. The only weapon in the castle that can cause damage to the steward within the rules is not on the top floor of the castle, but on the top floor in the center of the castle."

Chapter 2137 Chapter 2106 The poisonous soup of jealousy

After the drinking skeleton gave the prompt, he threw his original bone wine glass into the wine barrel, then scooped up a large glass with a brand new wine glass, and poured it between the teeth of the skull:

"really not bad."

It said, tilting its skull back.

After that, the skeleton was unwilling to answer any questions. Even if Jenkins took out the sin coin, it didn't care at all. So Jenkins and Miss Elf had no choice but to set off again. He felt that what happened just now was like starting a "hidden mission".

Miss Siluf had no feelings at all. After continuing to set off, she followed Jenkins nervously. In order to adjust the atmosphere, when the two of them climbed on the wine cabinet and returned to the first floor from the corner of the wine cellar, Jenkins took the initiative to start the topic:

"Speaking of which, have you ever seen the real World Tree?"

he asked, climbing up first, and then pulling the elf up as well. After returning to the first floor, there is a brand new room, like a study, but the bookshelf is empty. There are some strange specimens standing on the wall beside the door. They are not humanoid creatures, but look like small dogs.

"I met her once when I was attending a coming-of-age ceremony. She was very kind and even kissed me on the cheek."

"The World Tree appears in human form?"

Jenkins asked in surprise, while the elf looked around and replied in a low voice:

"No, it's the branches brushing against my cheek, but that means a kiss."

In the darkness, there was some unusual blush on her face, which made Jenkins worried about the quirks of this ancient elf lady.

The journey that followed was uneventful. The most dangerous one was a sudden landslide in the corridor. This is not an event marked on the map, it should just be a simple case of the castle falling into disrepair.

The landslide was nothing to Jenkins and Silufu, but there was actually a three-headed dog in the basement under the landslide. Only the middle head of it was alive, while the heads on both sides were turned into white bones. Its body was more than ten times the size of Miss Jenkins and Siluff. And compared to Jenkins' well-behaved pet cat, this dog is quite unfriendly to people.

This thing between undead creatures and life is extremely difficult to deal with, and there is also a scary guy in the nearby corridor who is marked as "best not to disturb". In the end, Miss Silufu used her own bow to shoot an emerald-green energy arrow, using the purest power of life to temporarily suppress the big dog. Only then did the two of them have the opportunity to temporarily hide in other corridors.

Of course, this was just an episode on the road and did not cause any harm to them.

Finally, we came to the corridor where the kitchen was located. Probably because there were strong monsters in the kitchen, there was no danger in the nearby area.

Jenkins and the elf came to the door. Due to the obstruction of the black aura, Jenkins could not observe the situation inside the door. However, Miss Siluf's investigative ability is very strong. She claimed that she smelled a strong smell of blood, as if the door was a slaughterhouse.

"I'm walking in front. If anything unexpected happens, you don't need to pay attention to me and just exit the room. Do you understand?"

Jenkins said to his companion, and then regardless of the other party's objection, he took the lead in pushing open the kitchen door.

What came into view was the kitchen with blood stains on the ceiling and walls. Because it was responsible for the food of the entire castle, the kitchen was unexpectedly large. White ceramic tiles clung to the outside of each stove and stone cupboards, while a group of pigs in white chef costumes stood busy in front of the bloody stoves and sinks.

There are some brown unknown substances on the ground, the rusty steam pipes spreading on the walls are still leaking out, and the pot on the stove seems to be refining urine using ancient methods, plus other things caused by cooking. The smell of cooking fumes and food made Jenkins choke and almost cough as soon as he opened the door.

The chefs are really just pigs, except for standing up and wearing clothes. The strongest and tallest one among them also wears the identity badge of "Head Chef".

Of course, Jenkins didn't recognize the words on the sign. Miss Siluph helped translate them. It was said to be the words used by the orcs in the material world at the time she was born.

"Don't fight here, this is where you cook."

The big hairy wild boar threw the kitchen knife in his hand on the cutting board, glanced sideways at the two people who had raised their weapons at the door, and then motioned for them to go to the refrigerator room in the kitchen to talk.

Of course, Jenkins and Miss Siluf would not boldly approach the enemy's territory, so the pig snorted, which was a sound that the pig itself could make:

"Elves are always like this****"

Because the language it used was very unorthodox, although Jenkins could barely understand it, he couldn't translate the rare curse words. But from Miss Silufu's expression, it can be seen that that must be a rather unseemly statement.

He stretched out his hand to stop the elf lady who seemed to want to shoot the pig, and then said:

"We're here to kill you."

"Of course I know, is it possible that you still send me the ingredients?"

Chef Pig snorted again and squinted his small eyes to look at the two of them carefully:

"Of course you can kill me, but we have to follow the rules."

It waved to the back, and not long after, a pig chef pushed a metal dining cart. The food truck was also rusty and there were blood stains near the wheels. It is filled with porcelain bowls of different sizes, and the bowls are full of fragrant broth, which is completely different from the nauseating air in the kitchen:

"There are twenty portions of broth here. If you drink three of them, I will kill you. If you don't want to drink it, get out and don't delay our work."

Jenkins was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the elf. Miss Silufu said that the monsters she encountered could only be killed through combat.

"I don't know what's going on...have the rules changed?"

The elf was equally surprised, and then naturally stretched out a hand:

"Then I'll drink first, I choose..."

"etc."

Jenkins stopped her, and then asked the pig chef who was looking at the two of them:

"What are these broths made of?"

"It's from hunting nearby."

The pig chef said nonchalantly. Seeing that Jenkins was still staring at it, he added:

"Don't worry, I'm sure it's not human flesh or elf meat. These two kinds of meat are too sour and not delicious."

No matter which component of this sentence is true.

Jenkins blinked, and as expected, he saw black auras in all the bowls. After putting on his monocle, he looked more carefully, and even saw malicious souls staring at the meat and soup. Above.

"I'll go first."

Miss Elf said again, but Jenkins made up his mind and said:

"I'll go first."

"World Tree, this is really..."

The elf saw Jenkins' determination. She wanted to reach out, but she didn't dare to disobey his order. At the same time, she couldn't express the emotion in her heart, and she felt mixed emotions for a while.

"Don't worry, my luck is not that bad."

He pretended to be relaxed and said, and then he was stunned:

"Mr. Barnard also said this."

The dialogue above is exactly the same as the dialogue Jenkins had with Mr. Barnard a year ago when he first entered this world. The gentleman's appearance loomed in front of him. He pretended to be calm and stopped Jenkins, who was still a level 0 gifter at the time. Instead, he drank the potion first, as if he had just appeared yesterday.

"After the matter is settled, I'm going to visit Mr. Barnard's grave. In the blink of an eye, it's been a year..."
