As Hao Ren guessed, the castle on the hill is the sleeping place of Vivian.
Strictly speaking, it is the entrance to the sleeping place.
After a rigorous deduction and discussion, Hao Ren and Heather Anna re-planned the whole process of opening the seal and entering the shadow world. In order to avoid nights and dreams-those Demon Hunter may be traced at any time-they decided to be at dawn Enter the old castle before. Although the power of shadow at night is very strong, it will cause some difficulties to open the seal, but Heather Anna has decided to replace the key with her own shadow magic, and her power will be strengthened at night, so it does not matter.
Harron Castle—it used to be the property of a human nobleman, but in the end it turned around several times to become the possession of a vampire, even though the ignorant and reckless young vampire was later ruined by Vivian ’s decay aura , But at least when he first took over the castle, his family was quite rich, so he carried out an extravagant refurbishment of this human castle, which can still be glimpsed even after the castle was abandoned and the walls collapsed. The whole castle is composed of four huge towers and a double main structure. Between the two rectangular main buildings is a wide promenade. This structure makes the whole castle look like a "work" shape from the sky. The four towers are located in the four corners of this I-shape, which looks very magnificent.
Of course, this magnificent structure has already collapsed by more than half of the time. The superstructure of the entire castle has basically become decayed with the weather: the original stone fortress will not decay so quickly, but The dark forces lingering in this land have accelerated the decline of everything. Although it has only been through a hundred years, the rock structure of the old castle has been riddled with holes like four or five centuries.
"There are a lot of ghost legends about this castle in the local area," Heather Anna has been active in this area for some time, and with the deliberate gathering of intelligence, she knows a lot about the castle. When they walked into the ruins of the castle, they introduced it by the way, "Some bold people will venture in and try to find some noble relics or tatters that can sell money, but few people can return intact, even if they are lucky to go back alive. All children also claimed that they encountered ghosts and other evil things in the old castle, in fact, they were all caused by the power of the shadow. "
As he said, the little bat whispered, "Hey, I still hope to find a baby here. I do n’t know if this territory was poorly dead. When Haron himself left, he could n’t find him in the castle To a copper plate. "
Hao Ren did not respond, but looked up: they were walking through the main building of the front part of the castle, the high Gothic roof had collapsed and collapsed, leaving only some rugged skeletons hanging in a crisscross pattern, Tattered and twisted cloth strips and spider webs extend from those high-profile skeletons to the walls on both sides, appearing bleak and gloomy. Due to the collapse of the entire dome, the moonlight can almost shine into the front hall of the castle. The original bright and bright moonlight seems to have undergone some mysterious change when passing through the castle: it shows a dead gray and white The light is terrible and cold, it is a real cold, Hao Ren can even feel the real cold touch after the moonlight shines on his skin.
Before entering the castle, the moon has sunk near the horizon, but after entering the castle, it hangs in the middle of the sky, which is also a very obvious anomaly.
"Moonlight is never normal in areas related to Vivian," Heather Anna noticed Hao Ren's sight and explained casually, "We should be glad that moonlight is at least not red-otherwise you have to turn your head and run Now. "
"Vivian will find such a gorgeous place to sleep," Lily followed Hasselblad in a deep coma and followed behind the team. He was surprised to say at this time, "I thought she could only sleep in a cave or something. Where is ... "
"She came in after the old castle was abandoned for the first time," Heather Anna sighed. "The place was already in ruins at that time."
Lily: "... It makes sense."
"Where is the entrance to the Shadow Fortress?" Hao Ren looked around curiously. He could already feel that the old castle was being controlled by the powerful shadow power, but he did not observe any obvious space breakpoints. It is clear that Vivian made quite sufficient preparations before this sleep, and her sleeping place this time is not as easy to deal with as the cave in Siberia.
"The castle is divided into two, the real world castle corresponds to the light, then the" shadow "castle is of course on its" back "," Heather Anna smiled, "just in front, in the castle garden There is a pool, and the entrance is in the reflection of the pool. "
Lily murmured as he listened: "It's such a god-nagging thing ... I'm the worst at dealing with this kind of stuff."
Before her words fell, Hasselblad suddenly moved slightly on her back, and then the old hunter woke up from the coma, seeing the witch surrounding him and Heather Anna leading the way, ha Su subconsciously wanted to get his weapon, but found that his hands and feet were bound by a weird energy field, and even the slightest strength could not be brought out, he immediately shouted: "You ..."
"Hey-bang !!!"
"I feel embarrassed to say that," Lily put out his tongue, "It feels so pitiful."
The witches were frightened by Hasselblad ’s sudden awakening, and even Heather Anna was no exception, but when they saw the Lily brick and stunned the latter, they all showed a very strange expression, Mrs. Mary also sighed: "This is probably the worst Demon Hunter I have ever seen in my life ..."
Hao Ren looked up at the sky and did n’t know what to say, so he wondered how to explain what happened along the way after Hasselblad was “pulled in” by himself ... The old hunter would not be ashamed and angry Pull the sword to kill yourself?
Under Heather Anna ’s leadership, everyone soon reached the back garden of the castle and saw the pool that could serve as a passage between the two worlds.
It is located west of the center of the castle's "Gong" shaped structure, surrounded by a large withered thorns and twisted vines. The pool has a circle of marbled outer edges, but in the depression in the center of the pool, it has been seen Less than a drop of water.
Without water, there will naturally be no reflections.
Hao Ren turned to Heather Anna for questioning. He knew that since the little bat spirit came here with everyone, then this pool must have another ingenuity. Sure enough, Heather Anna was not surprised after seeing the dry pool. She just stepped forward, biting her finger and dripping a drop of blood into the dry pool.
She then stepped aside and looked up at the gray moon hanging in the sky: "Without the key, you can only borrow the power of moonlight ... Master Vivian, if you can hear me, I wish you success Right ... "
After she finished, she walked gently and began to walk around the pool at a very slow speed, and chanted an ancient mantra in a low voice.
An incredible thing happened.
A thin layer of shimmering light suddenly began to rumble in the already-dried pool. The off-white moonlight seemed to be bound by the invisible force, and it was condensed into a beam of light. As Heather Anna walked slowly, it began to accumulate in the pool at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, became more solid every second, and eventually became as real as real running water!
With the last step of Heather Anna, she returned to the starting position, just walked around the pool, and the "moonlight" in the pool was just full, and the water surface was almost flat with the edge of the pool. As if the mirror was still.
Hao Ren saw a clear reflection in the mirror-like water surface, and towering towers and stately castles appeared in the reflections-but in the corresponding position of the real world, those towers and castle structures were already decaying. , More than half collapsed.
Obviously, what the reflection reflects is definitely not the real world, at least not the real world of Space - Time today.
"The shadow channel is already open, and crossing the pool water is another space," Heather Anna wiped the sweat on her forehead. "Because it was opened by abnormal means, I am not sure how the situation is opposite. If we are lucky, we will not hit those patrolling soulless guards, but if the wizard Barn has activated the defense of the Shadow Fortress with the key ... I am ready to face a fierce battle, I need to enter the shadow world It will take some effort to gain control of the Soulless Guard. "
"This is all expected," Hao Ren nodded, "What should we do now?"
"It's very simple, just follow me."
Heather Anna said while standing on the edge of the pool.
Then she fell straight down towards the "water surface".
Without the splash of water or the sound of falling water, she seemed to blend into the surface of the water, disappearing silently in the water at the moment of contact with the reflection, without even causing a trace of ripples.
Hao Ren and Lily glanced at each other, and then Hao Ren first stepped forward, and also learned Heather Anna ’s movements to fall straight down towards the water.
He also successfully crossed the "boundary".
"You go first!" Lily grunts a group of witches, "Prevent you from escaping!"
The witches have no choice but to come to the water one by one and then "fall into the water" straight.
Lily was the last one to come to the pool and look at the calm moonlight, Husky girl wrinkled her nose.
"I don't like water ..."
Then she closed her eyes and jumped with her.
