Chapter 611

It wasn't even a one-off, it was pie in the sky.

But the education he received from childhood told Rin that pie never falls in the sky, only traps.

Not to mention him, even the cheerful Elise had a look of solemnity on her face.

"Xiao Lin, this... is so strange. It doesn't seem like luck."

"It's really strange. No matter how you look at it, it looks like poison wrapped in honey."

Rin touched his chin: "It's like it was placed here on purpose."

It just so happens that Emilia's observation eye still has the number of uses.

However, her observation eye is currently unable to identify ancient relics and undead relics.

Rin could only let her look at another skill card.

Fei Miao just glanced at it and noticed the big blood-red characters.

"There is a price, there is a price for using it, there are three types: life, soul, and curse."

"As expected!"

It was also the first time that Rin knew that the descriptions of props in the dead city could actually hide key information.

In other words, this thing can be faked? !

Woc, what the hell! New gaming scam, right? !

At this moment, Rin was suddenly worried that there was something wrong with the food he had eaten before, and quickly asked Silly Roe Deer to throw a few purification spells in order to comfort his soul.

"It seems that you can't just take the things in the treasure box casually in the future, otherwise you will be tricked by these domain lords sooner or later."

Rin reminded a few people with some fear, and Momo, who had been a little dazed, scratched Little Red Riding Hood.

"Brother Rin, Momo is also a Territory Lord. However, Momo can't change the item description, and I haven't heard from the witch grandma that high-level Territory Lords can do it. These are automatically given by the dead city."

Momo's words reminded Rin that she instantly realized the problem.

"That's right... Items that reach platinum level need to be appraised."

I still remember that on the previous level, most of the props obtained after killing Charon's enemies were identified by Natalie.

"Especially for the relics of the undead, you have to find a mysterious businessman for help."

There was a sneer on Lin's lips: "These two things were specially identified and put here. I am afraid that I don't know the effect and want to deceive the challenger. This method of hiding one's head and showing off one's petty nature is very similar to Charon's gang of staff makers."

Elise nodded her head: "Yeah, Xiao Lin is right."

The so-called authority within the rules of the dead city probably also includes changing the item descriptions.

It's hard to say how far it can be changed, but it is definitely extremely poisonous.

After staring at the two items for a moment, Rin put them into the storage bag.

Then he took out the faded and useless trial key,

There was no sign of vibration. It seemed that, at least sitting in this area, there was no third key.

However, according to Rin's experience, relevant clues should be found in this copy.

"Let's go look for other rooms first. After searching, we'll go to the main building to have a look."

"Brother Rin, do you want Momo to come too?"

Rin was also worried that Momo would be in danger if she stayed here alone, so she nodded, held her hand, and asked the little girl to follow her closely.

The main person searching the room is Emilia.

Her speed was super fast, and within a moment she had already searched the other three rooms that had been sorted out for them.

A treasure chest is also found under the bed in one of the rooms.

After opening this, in addition to advanced intermediate equipment, there are also some potions to restore magic power.

However, out of caution, Rin did not use it directly.

He planned to save some and then go find Natalie or the mysterious businessman to re-appraise it.

After searching four rooms, Emilia came to the last two rooms.

The door was locked, but it didn't bother a few people.

Brave Meow kicked open the door, and a pile of debris appeared in sight.

The clutter was not too messy and there was not much dust in the room, which showed that the two houses had been cleaned.

The house was originally a guest room. Although there were a lot of clutter, the bed, table and chairs were still there.

The first step for Fei Miao is to get under the bed to find the treasure chest.

Rin also took the candlestick and searched through the table and clutter.

These sundries are actually painting utensils, paint boards, and picture frames.

This suddenly reminded Rin of the oil paintings in the corridor.

However, this is obviously not left by the painter.

After all, at first glance, it looks like it was drawn by a novice who has just learned it.

On the canvas is an unfinished painting of a bird in a cage.

Not only was the little bird locked in a cage, there was a chain tied to its thin feet.

Outside the birdcage, there is not a person, but the outline of a black bird, but the painting is not finished.

Take out another painting that has been framed.

The sketch of a tree looks simple and monotonous.

The key is that there is the signature and date of the painting owner in the lower right corner.

"Qasim, XX year XX month..."

Rin thought it was the painting left by Rapunzel, but unexpectedly another character appeared.

Then again, this guy named Kasim shouldn't be that big.

"Damn arrogant, here."

Emilia's voice sounded in her ears, and Rin turned around to look.

In the meantime, the brave man was sticking his buttocks out, tilting his head and staring at the place under the bed board.

Rin also leaned over, squatted down, and put the candle under the bed, and soon saw a line of words on it.

The handwriting is very strange. It's not written with a carving knife or a pen. It looks like it was dug out with fingernails.

Moreover, it is an unknown character.

Chapter 159 Game Name "Old Stories in the Deep House"

This line of text is somewhat similar to Latin, but some of its structure and strokes are different.

Here I have to mention the differences in languages ​​in this world.

After all, it was generated from novels, and the world’s mainstream lingua franca is Chinese characters.

There are also Latin, English, Japanese and other other languages, which are still used in a few areas.

Some very few languages, such as Elvish, Dragonic, etc., because of the "disappearance" of these races, few people can speak them anymore.

The oldest ones are those written before the old era, which are the runes that Rin can see in the ruins of the temple.

Common languages ​​and minor languages ​​have developed and changed since the old times, and gradually evolved into what they are now.

The Latin-like text in front of us is one of the transformation processes of "minor languages".

Just like what big seal script and small seal script did to subsequent calligraphy styles.

These undead souls in the royal city include not only those who died in recent years, but also those who died thousands of years ago. It is normal to use ancient characters.

No one present could understand it, including Momo, a little girl with a mysterious life experience.

But it doesn't matter, because Rin has already received a hint whether to use basic knowledge or not.

The skill that had never been used since entering the dead city finally came into play at this moment.

"Whether you use basic knowledge to translate text, the probability is 13%. You only have one chance to roll. It is recommended to use intermediate language proficiency or above."

Probability, roll, decision?

Okay, okay, this is a good group running, the setting is reasonable, I like it very much.

Just like when you play a Ke-type game, you don't necessarily need to learn occultism and other related knowledge. As long as the character you are operating knows it, it will be fine.

Rin frowned, especially when he saw that the throwing judgment was used, and he instantly felt confident.

Because he also has a relic of the undead in his hand, a 20-sided dice.

Although the mysterious businessman A has not identified its specific use, that doesn't matter.

Within the current game rules, it can be used in turn-based battles or other scenarios that require throwing points.

"Use basic knowledge."

"It has been selected. The three dice points are greater than or equal to 14 and the decision is passed."

"Change dice selected."

"Twenty o'clock."

After Rin took out the dice, he immediately reported a number.

"End of throwing: 20 points, judgment passed."

Next to the line of characters under the bed board, another line of Chinese characters floated up.

"The black bird ate my sister, it ate my brother, and now it's coming to eat me."

This sentence is very straightforward, with a bit of childishness, and it can be seen that the writer is not old.

Between the lines, there is quite a feeling of a black nursery rhyme.

Rin suddenly thought of the unfinished painting from before.

I only drew the outline of the black bird and added a few strokes of color, but not the full picture.

He was about to take back the candle when he suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye and quickly moved the light source closer to the foot of the bed.

There is a very obvious mark on the thick wooden bed leg. It can be inferred that something like a chain has been tied to it for a long time.

Maybe the people in this house have been chained to their beds, just like the caged birds in the painting.

"Go and have a look in the other room."

Rin reached out and pulled Elise up from her crouching position.

The room at the end of the corridor is also the last room on this level.

This room was not locked. When I opened it, I saw that there were a lot of sheets, mattresses and bedding piled here.

There is no special writing under the bed board, and there are also stamps on the foot of the bed.

After searching around, there was only one full-length mirror covered with white cloth that seemed special.

The mirror is embedded in a wooden frame. There are several notches on the back of the wooden frame, which looks like the kind used by children to measure their height.

Four of them have names written on the back.

The highest line says Yue Li, the second line says Jennifer, and the third line says Qasim.

The last one is particularly young, only about 1.2 meters tall.

The owner of the notch is called Ashley.

If the handwriting in the next room was left by Qasim, then the so-called brothers and sisters who were eaten should be the first two.

As for the last young sister, her life or death is unknown.

A story appeared in Rin's mind.

A terrible thing happened here. The owner of the mansion kidnapped four children and sacrificed them to the black bird.

Of course, it is also possible that the owner of the manor itself represents the blackbird.
