Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 124 Welcome to My Paradise (4k)

After the barn, Rhodes went to the bakery, stables, and kitchen successively.

After killing the tainted body guarding there, get the four metal parts of the key respectively.

All are perfectly fitted in the metal mold, and now only the key handle is missing.

As for the area marked on the map, Rhodes has not yet entered the chapel near the main building inside the castle.

The dim light of the kerosene lamp guided Rhodes to the outside of the church.

Dilapidated collapsed walls, mottled lime spilled everywhere.

Dark brown vines climbed on the outer walls of the church, and the broken window glass all showed that the church had long been abandoned.

"Crench!"

The heavy wooden door was pushed open.

A rotten musty smell rushed to the tip of Rhodes' nose.

He frowned, raised the kerosene lamp in his hand, and looked into the church.

A white cloth full of dust covered the benches inside the church, and even the statue in the center of the church was covered with a layer of white cloth.

Accompanied by Rhodes' walking.

There was a harsh noise of planks being squeezed inside the church.

The cracked floor couldn't bear Rhodes' stepping on it, and large cracks appeared at this moment.

It looks like no one has been here for a long time.

Similarly, there doesn't seem to be any biological breath here.

pat!

Da da da!
The rolling glass beads suddenly rolled out of the shadow in the corner and came to Rhodes' feet.

As the kerosene lamp changed its angle, Rhodes saw a child's toy puppet in the corner.

It was grinning happily at Rhodes.

An inexplicable sense of strangeness permeated my heart.

Rhodes walked towards the puppet.

The laughter of children resounded in the center of the church.

Rhode looked at the center, but found a vague black shadow moving.

When I turned back, the toy puppet in front of me disappeared.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

"Xiuji, sledgehammer!"

A black sledgehammer appeared in Rhodes' hands.

Facing the unknown monster, he was not prepared to entangle with the opponent too much. Since this small church was the opponent's home field, he simply demolished the chapel and forced the opponent to come out.

Bang!
Rhodes swung the sledgehammer and kept hitting the pews and objects in the church.

The whole church trembled under Rhodes' hammer.

"Please, don't tear it down."

The sound of begging for mercy sounded from the corner.

Rhodes lifted the kerosene lamp in one hand and looked towards the corner. The toy puppet that had just disappeared appeared again, but this time, it was walking towards Rhodes little by little.

In the dim light, the toy puppet with an orange-yellow strange luster looked weird no matter how it looked, and could even speak human speech.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it, because no one has played with me for a long time, I just want to play."

"Playing? Why are you staying in this church?"

"It was my father who locked me here. He said there were monsters outside and told me not to run around."

Toy puppets sit on stacked benches, dangling their legs.

"Your father?"

"Sir Wiasfe."

"As far as I know, Sir Wisfe is 77 years old today. Are you sure you want to recognize him as your father?"

"Is my father 77 years old? I haven't seen my father for nearly 30 years. I'm sorry. Since that incident, my father has never opened a church again. I have been asleep and I just woke up today. .”

"I can feel that I seem to be awakened by some kind of power. This power has changed my body structure and made me the existence I am now."

"Maybe, you can tell me what you know, what happened here?"

Meeting Sir Wiasf's son was obviously an accident, even, the other party probably died nearly 50 years ago, but he was preserved by Sir Wiasf in some way, until recently, in the After being infected by a certain force, he was resurrected and turned into the toy puppet he is today.

Combined with the pollutants he encountered in other places before, Rhodes had a general idea in his mind.

"No, I promised my father that I cannot tell other people about it."

"By the way, you can call me Little Wisf, my father often calls me that."

"Rod, it's a pleasure to meet you, but Little Wisfe, I think it's very necessary for you to tell me what happened, because your father also needs to be saved now."

Rhodes briefly explained some of the things that Sir Wisf said in the mirror.

There was a hesitant expression on Little Wisf's face.

"Well, I'm actually dead, I know, but I was resurrected for some reason. After I died, the agreement with my father has expired, and after I'm resurrected, the confidentiality agreement no longer exists. , I can tell you something."

"Very well, Little Wisf, your decision is correct."

Rhodes encouraged.

Little Weissf sorted out his dusty memories, and began to talk about a disaster that happened to the Wisser family in the past.

"That happened more than 30 years ago."

"Father! I'm back!"

Wearing a black non-commissioned officer's uniform, Little Wisfe jumped off the horse and handed over the rope in his hand to the attendant at the side.

He opened his arms and hugged his father, Sir Wysfell, who was waiting outside the castle.

"Welcome back, my son, hero who returned from the Battle of Pajavaro!"

Sir Wiasfe hugged his son with a smile.

"Father, have you been waiting for a long time? I brought you back a present."

Little Weissf put an object in a canvas bag into his father's hands.

"This is the spoils I got from the battlefield, after beheading a high-ranking demon."

Little Weissf showed off.

"Stinky boy!"

Sir Wisf didn't open the gift in the bag immediately, but walked into the castle with his son, and a grand welcome ceremony was being held.

That evening, after the welcome ceremony.

After returning to the room, Sir Wiasfe opened the canvas bag presented by his son.

Inside the bag is a black box.

Inside the box was a dark black pharaoh rune.

The moment the box was opened, the dark haze began to erode Sir Wiasf.

at the same time.

After returning to the room, Little Wissf opened his rucksack, ready to confirm the integrity of the sealed item that the officer asked him to keep to be sent to the Administration, but when he took out the bag to check, his face immediately turned pale.

What was stored in the bag was actually a gift that he wanted to give to his father.

And the sealed item that was supposed to be protected actually disappeared.

Although he didn't understand why the sealed item disappeared, he immediately realized that it might have gone into the gift for his father.

He immediately yelled and ran towards his father's room.

But it's too late.

When he came to his father's room, what he saw was his father who was eating his mother's corpse.

That distorted and weird appearance is his father who has been completely deformed.

Little Weissf saw the black rune that was about to sink into his father's body.

He rushed up immediately, and no matter how his father attacked him, he grabbed the rune desperately and pulled it out.

The poor development has heralded the downfall of the Wiesf family.

After tonight, a bad sacrificial ceremony took place in the Wisf family.

In order to ensure that the secret of the sealed item is preserved forever.

Little Weissf held a prayer meeting in his own name.

All the maids and squires from the entire castle were invited to the assembly.

No one knew what happened at the prayer meeting, but the final result was the death of all the maids and attendants and the suicide of Little Wissef.

At that time, this incident caused a sensation in Old London for a short time.

Even being on the news has become a talking point for some people.

But it wasn't long before it was forgotten.

No one remembers this declining family, and no one remembers the mad Sir Wiasf. Even the dead maids and attendants seem to be forgotten in the corner.

until now.

For them, death may become the trajectory of fate.

"Since this incident, my father has gone crazy, or he can often hear some weird sounds coming from the wall."

"The power above the rune is still eroding him. Although the fusion failed, those imprints have been preserved forever. It's all my fault. If I checked carefully or went directly to the management office to hand over the task first, perhaps, Those things would not have happened, my father, and it would not have become what it is now."

Little Wissf's head fell to the ground because of the drooping.

Rhodes picked it up and put it back into Little Wisfe's hands.

"Thank you."

Little Wisfe put his head on and thanked Rhodes.

"It's just that I really didn't expect that my father would have connections with secret societies in the later years, and even finally performed the summoning ceremony of the black pharaoh."

"The incarnation of chaos, the vile human walker, and the existence of a thousand-faced demon. When I was on the battlefield, I only heard that a person who had won the hero medal beat it severely."

Little Weissf said with emotion.

"I heard that in order to support the development of mechanical manufacturing, the hero even put the demon core of a great demon into an M500 rebuilt revolver. It is widely circulated.”

The corner of Rhode's mouth twitched, the old man's legend was spread everywhere.

"Okay, after talking so much, it's almost time for me to say goodbye to you."

Little Wisf stood up and solemnly performed an ancient warrior etiquette to Rhodes.

"Thank you for everything you have done, please be sure to stop my father, if you can, I hope you can save him, this is a son's request."

Little Wisf lowered his head, and his head fell to the ground again.

"Thank you, Rhodes, you don't need to pretend for me anymore, there are things you need inside, go ahead, if you can go to the battlefield in the future, I hope you can replace me and beat Nyarlathotep hard."

Little Weissf's words came to a standstill at this moment.

At the same moment, Rhodes took out the key handle from under the neck of the opponent's fallen head.

The key handle fits perfectly into the metal mould.

At this moment, the metal mold in Rhodes' hand exuded a dark luster.

A black metal key appeared in Rhode's hand.

"That's it."

Rhodes glanced at the key in his hand, then at the toy puppet beside him, silently put its head back on the puppet's body, and placed it on the chair beside it.

At the same time, he performed the same ancient warrior salute to it.

"I have received your request."

In front of the main building.

Rhodes took out the black key and slowly inserted it into the rune gate.

"Crack."

The black key twists automatically.

A dark black magic flowed and spread towards the surroundings.

The gargoyle puppets on both sides suddenly opened their scarlet eyes and stared at Rhodes.

The ancient and low-pitched syllable suddenly sounded at this moment.

The pupils of the gargoyle puppet instantly turned into pale rocks again.

Their bodies slowly rotated and moved to the sides.

Under the gargoyle statue on the left, there is actually a huge pit hidden.

In the pit, there are a large number of pale human skeletons, and some clothes and luggage can be seen vaguely.

Rhodes thought of the people Lu Qi mentioned who wanted to find Sir Wisf's treasure. Maybe they were buried in the attack of the gargoyle puppet?
Below the gargoyle statue on the right is a deep secret passage, where it leads is unknown.

But it was originally expected that the main building's gate would open, but after the key was inserted, not only did it not open, there were even six dark and strange magic patterns on it.

Under the premise of completely ignoring the use of magic power and how to use it, Rhodes felt that it was better to follow the established route step by step.

The moment of stepping into the deep secret path.

The candle lamps mounted on the walls on both sides of the secret passage suddenly lit up.

A human skeleton sat down on the downward-extending passage, and a large number of ancient characters and patterns were engraved around the wall.

What looked like a mouse was carrying a cat-like creature towards the palace.

In the palace, a creature with a cat head and a human body wearing a crown and holding a scepter is praying.

Rhodes recorded the patterns and words on the wall in his notebook, and asked her to check it for himself when he saw Margaret later.

Just these patterns alone reminded Rhodes of the legend about the cat god.

Perhaps, the rats that Sir Wisfe often mentioned may have something to do with the legend of the cat god.

According to the relevant information brought up by Little Wiasfe, Rhodes could know that Sir Wiasfu often had nightmares after that incident.

In the dream, he would come to an area that is likely to be a warp, where he was often attacked by the rats in the wall.

Those mice are likely related to the pattern on the wall.

Walk all the way down.

Rhodes recorded all the pictures and texts he saw.

Below the tunnel, an ordinary wooden door suddenly appeared in front of it.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, turned the doorknob, and opened the door.

Everything behind the door made his brows wrinkle together.

In the pure black room, there are nearly a hundred human faces hanging on the front wall. They have different expressions and are neatly stacked like masks.

There are six black candles placed on the ground in the middle of the room, and a rune pattern of a pentagram is engraved in the middle of the room.

In the very center of the rune, there is a high platform.

On the high platform, an old man was lying down at the moment.

Beside the old man, a wriggling black haze was watching Rhodes quietly.

"Welcome to my paradise."
