Looking at System Notification, Rhodes can't help but is a bit helpless, which is much lower than the starting point of the game. In the game, player organizes guild, the system will pass the application after confirming the arrival of the other party, and give away a Stronghold. Now that's good, I don't even have Stronghold. But think about it too. In the game, player was qualified for the application by completing quest several times. In this game, which is purely pay a small price for big rewards in return and originally Dragon Soul Continent, nPC's Mercenary Group rarely has Stronghold. This is not surprising. And now .........

It is imperative that Rhodes needs to purchase a Stronghold as the center of Mercenary Group.

Of course, it costs money. Fortunately, for Rhodes, he is not completely without chance.

Hong Liang knocked on the door, and then Leiya walked into the room. After a night of rest, the girl who changed her clothes also showed a lot of energy. With a lively sweet smile on her face, she greeted Rhodes.

"Mr. Rhodes, I am ready."

"Okay, let's go."

Rhodes said, stood up, and walked out of the door. Leiya looked at youngster in front of him with curious and doubtful eyes, and then followed.

Leiya is completely ignorant of the idea of ​​Rhodes'. Although she did not agree, she did not object. Because before talking about those actual problems, there is a more practical problem to deal with ——— without money.

In addition to the rewards previously given to them by Metz and the gains from the two Gargoyle safes in the foggy town, there are currently a thousand gold coins in Rhodes and Leiya. Although after coming to Deep Rock City, Rhodes entrusted Leiya to sell most of the gems and crystals in the handle, and finally got the harvest of 2,500 gold coins. But this is not enough to buy a house. Not to mention, Rhodes also hit the idea on the top floor, to know that it is Noble area, even the most marginal place, the house price is sky high, where can someone buy it?

But now, following Rhodes on the road to the upper zone, looking at the confident expression of youngster, Leiya can't suppress the curiosity in her heart, she also wants to see how Rhodes will use the money Buy a house in the upper zone? But if you are only buying real estate, why would you ask yourself to prepare supplies early? There is nothing to explore in Deep Rock City.

Isn't it intended to grab it?

Recalling what Rhodes' did before, this possibility also seems to exist.

Upper area, southwest corner.

Unlike the clean, tidy, and gorgeous mansion around, the old house that has been corroded by the years appears in front of Rhodes and Leiya. The walls are surrounded by dense layers of vines, and the untreated weeds have almost reached the knee. originally's large courtyard now looks like a wolf, surrounded by garbage and manure left by wild cats and wild dogs. The whole sky is also sunken by gloomy, there is no hint of sunlight.

The wind of gloomy and cold blew through, accompanied by a barking of wild dogs who didn't know where it came from, letting Leiya can't help shivering.

When entering the courtyard in a flash, the girl was very keenly aware of the two-fold change of ice and fire. The upper zone outside was quiet, tidy, quiet and peaceful. But this courtyard is unusually cold, messy, and dead. The gap between the two is as obvious as a splendid palace and a chaotic grave.

"M-Mr. Rodes, are you really going to buy it here?"

The girl embraced her body subconsciously and lowered her voice asked.

"Not intended."

But unexpectedly, Rhodes just waved his hand without looking back.

"I have bought it."

"…………………………"

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

"Ah? !!!"

Leiya's surprised eyes open wide couldn't believe the answer he heard.

"You, have you already bought it?"

"Yes, the other party only needs five hundred gold coins, which is really a bargain."

"Five hundred gold coins?!"

After hearing this, Leiya stayed for a moment, then she covered her mouth in surprise.

"This is Ceriel Haunted House!?"

When mentioning Ceriel Haunted House, it is almost unknown in the whole Deep Rock City. Ceriel was previously a third-class family of Deep Rock City. The difference with other families is that this family started with the art sculpture ———. In other words, they grew up only with the skill of stone carving.

And the best among them is the former patriarch of Ceriel Family, Martin Ceriel. He has talent in sculpture, which is unimaginable by ordinary people, especially in the human body. The carved character are all vivid and vivid. And he was once called Grandmaster Rank character of Deep Rock City.

But all this has changed because of a stone.

When Ceriel was 29 years old, he got a piece of white stone dug from the Deep Rock City mine. I don't know what crazy this master artist is, he even moved the stone back home and said that he wanted to create an eternal and perfect artwork.

from the beginning everyone did not take this matter to heart, after all, Ceriel as an art master, he is pursuing this. However, Nobles had a lot of talks in private, and began to talk about what kind of masterpieces this master artist will appear. And the performance of Ceriel was normal at the beginning. He shut himself in the room and guarded the stone for the 1-Star period without going out. This also caused more people to look forward to the new works of the art master. Being able to let the master of art work so hard will sculpt the most perfect works.

But then things started to get more weird.

The maid of Ceriel started missing one after another, and no one knew they went there. As an Noble Family family, Ceriel Family also sent a lot of people to find, but it is strange that these people disappear as if they evaporated.

Not only these maids, but also the news of missing people from time to time. People were panic around the upper zone for a while, and after that, Ceriel's family also had a major event, and the wife of Ceriel and the Pearl of the Palm even disappeared.

This time, the people in the family can no longer breathe. They also can't care what perfect art works Ceriel is carving, and they come to the door one after another, hoping he can come forward and check this matter. However, when opening the door of Ceriel, everyone was stunned.

I saw the whole room, with limbs and broken arms all around, and Ceriel ’s wife and daughter, just now fell to the ceiling and turned into two cold bodies. And the master of art sat peacefully on the chair, stroking the sculpture of a woman beside him.

The next thing is very simple.

People quickly arrested Ceriel, and he also admitted that he had killed the missing women, but he thought that the death of these people was worth it, for the sublimation and perfection of art, they dedicated It ’s a noble and worthwhile esteemed behavior.

This kind of comment is not personally satisfactory, so soon, Deep Rock City Lord sentenced Ceriel to death, and the next scene made everyone stunned. When they learned that they were about to die, Ceriel escaped like crazy. To prison. In order to catch Ceriel, Deep Rock City guard, Mercenary Association, and even many Noble also sent people to hunt down. But what everyone didn't think of was that the master artist who had no control over chickens actually killed more than a dozen advanced expert and hundreds of soldier, and finally exhausted himself in his home under the round-up. In the sculpture room, stopped breathing.

The tragedy surprised Deep Rock City, and the topic of curse began to spread slowly. Many people believed that the stone was full of magic. It seduced the master of art and turned him into a murderous non-winking Devil. And the sculpture, which everyone calls main culprit, unexpectedly disappeared from the eyes of the guards on the second day of the death of Ceriel! ?

For a time, the entire Deep Rock City became unstable. The sculptures of Ceriel during their lifetime were also smashed by many people, and after that, this matter was selectively forgotten by everyone.

It is a pity that although Ceriel is dead, it seems that he still does not forget to attract the attention of others.

First of all, an Noble with a good relationship with Ceriel normally came to take care of this property, but one month after they moved, their family was found to be starving to death in the restaurant, and rotting and smelling in front of them. The food is untouched by one bite.

The second victim was a wealthy businessman who moved here two years later. In order to be able to integrate into the local high society as quickly as possible, he bought this property regardless of dissuasion. But his ending is no better than where his predecessor went. —— was discovered half a month later. The family of the rich merchants and the servants brought by them all hanged themselves in their rooms, as if everyone had good feelings and even went to heaven. It's the same when counting down together.

And the terrible event of connecting twice made everyone subconsciously away from this Haunted House, and even Deep Rock City was very tricky for this property. In desperation, they had to put a lowest price there, who Who will buy it? ... Do n’t say, 500 gold coins is really a temptation for many people who have no money and yearning for it, so someone boldly bought the property, but this time The homeowner is a little smarter. Not only did he spend a lot of money on real estate, he also paid for the entire house to be renovated inside and out, and he also spent money to hire a team of savvy and powerful mercenary. .

But this time it was even more unlucky. Probably even the house itself was irritated by this cheap sale, without even giving a buffer period, indirectly came a place where the owner moved in and out Two days later, there were no more lights in this house. ——— As for those mercenary, naturally there was no sound.

Everyone did n’t even want to confirm this time. Anyway, the result must have been a lice on the bald head.

Leiya spent so many years in Deep Rock City, she naturally understood the rumours of this set of Haunted House, and now she knew that Rhodes actually did such a dangerous thing on her back and jumped up immediately.

"Mr. Rhodes, do you know where this is? This is ..."

"Of course I know."

Rhodes waved his hand, thinking that I not only knew the cause and effect, but even the Hidden Reward and BOSS. Ceriel Haunted House is one of the ten exclusive quest of Deep Rock City and the first completed Hidden Quest of Rhodes. He is naturally impressed. However, unlike at the time, he was too busy to prevent the next move, now he has enough preparations to get this Hidden Quest and BOSS.

"Do n’t worry, it ’s just a house, and ... I ’m ready."

Speaking of this, Rhodes and Leiya have passed through the messy garden and came to the front door. Through the rotten door, the darkness inside is clearly visible. Rhodes reached out and put it on the door, then he turned his head and looked at Leiya who was nervous at complexion.

"Are you ready?"
