Chapter 475 Play ghost movies to ghosts


Chapter 475 Playing Ghost Movies for Ghosts

The secretive Mother Gowther, like Craven, seldom performs her skills, and even if she does, it is for the nobles of the City of Glory who have spent a lot of money. Rich people, this kind of public performance is the first time in Amphail Village.

Many villagers had no idea that she could dance so well.

The only flaw was the faint sound of sobbing and crying, which came from the ruins of the hotel behind the Happy Hall.

The villagers of Anfeier Village were not surprised and ignored it, and no one came here to find out the reason.

But tonight, one person broke this routine. Naturally, this person was none other than Gavin.

It is not difficult for him to get out of the banquet.

Nominally, he is the protagonist, but after the people he needs to know are almost acquainted, he basically has nothing to do with him.

Especially after Gao Se's mother took the escort girl to dance, no one cared about him.

I went straight to explore the ruins of a haunted hotel alone at night.

It's not that he is talented and bold and thinks he has enough strength to face all changes, but because he knows the truth behind the Weeping Witch.

The Weeping Witch is not a real undead, but someone who is pretending to be a ghost.

Gavin has repeatedly verified this in the past few days.

The ruins of the hotel are desolate and desolate, but there is no residual smell of negative energy, let alone the smell of death.

Because of the immortality in hand, Gavin has a very keen sense of this area.

Undead souls all exist based on negative energy. If there is no negative energy left, where can the undead come from?

The Weeping Witch's name is Filancini. She is not a witch but a powerful mage. She suffered a curse and was bound to another dimension by powerful magic.

She can only use her connection with the magic book to project her power back to Faerûn at a special time.

It is said that the magic book in her hand originated from the Netheril Empire and the greatest great arcanist Iolum.

It was the great arcanist Iolum who invented the Myser Energy Core, raised the first floating city, and developed the Iolum Immortality Technique.

It was also he who unearthed the spiritual knowledge of the Zamdas Empire, integrated it with arcane magic, and created a new advanced professional arcanist.

Gavin does not know how true or false the legend is, because in his previous life, he did not acquire this magic book, nor did he have direct contact with the Weeping Witch.

The only thing that is 100% certain is that this magic book contains the advanced knowledge he needs.

This is relatively speaking, the easiest to get.

If there is trouble here, or there is a mistake in the intelligence, he has a backup plan - that is to directly find Iolum's last disciple, Ms. Tabora, who is in Bagh not far from here. Witt Inn.

That legendary arcanist has a longevity longer than that of an ordinary dragon.

It’s just that it’s easy to find her. How to explain how you found her and convince her to impart the knowledge you need is the biggest problem.

Unless absolutely necessary, Gavin does not want to have close contact with a legendary spellcaster now, especially a legendary arcanist with bottomless knowledge. If he is not careful, he will be stripped of his pants.

In comparison, he prefers to take the situation into his own hands.

The Laughing Bandit Hotel is the most standard square hotel layout.

There is only one gate in the middle. After entering, there is a corridor that runs from north to south, dividing the entire building into two. On both sides of the corridor are symmetrically distributed rooms with basically the same size.

There are at least twenty rooms on each floor, with a total of four floors.

This is enough to accommodate a small army.

As for the stone part, 60-70% is still relatively intact, and most places can be repaired with complete repair techniques.

Belonging to other materials, there is basically no repair value.

It's combustible and almost burned.

Incombustible, most of it has been melted and twisted, and its only value is to be remade.

Most of the places here remain as they were after the fire was extinguished.

This shows that in the next three years, people in Anfeier Village basically did not visit here, and they were obviously full of fear of it.

Ever since Gavin stepped into the hotel, the sound of crying women has been surrounding him, either left or right, in front or behind, far or near, erratic.

But in Gavin's eyes, the other party's scary tactics were just a joke.

Don’t forget, Gavin is now equipped with a sub-artifact, the Insight Gem, which opens the Eye of Truth.

Whether it is the shadow plane, the fairy plane, the etheric plane, the upper or demiplane, all the invisibility abilities related to it are ineffective against him.

He found the source of the sound at a glance. It was a vague mist, not even a shadow. It flashed from time to time. Every time it changed its position, the position of the sound would change. .

Gavin did not feel the negative energy on it, so the shadow plane was eliminated.

The fairy plane is also closely related to himself, and the natural aura associated with it must be strong, so it is also excluded.

The greatest remaining possibility is the etheric plane.

If the Feywild and the Shadow Plane are the material echoes of the main plane, then the Ethereal Plane is the spiritual echo.

Although it has material components, it is affected by the mind and spirit, so it is also called the spiritual world.

Therefore, there is a huge gap in the understanding of the etheric plane between different people, and even different regions.

Some call this place a holy land of faith because the spirits they believe in live here. This kind of country is represented by Leatherman.

Some people regard this place as the birthplace of terror, and people here never mention it. This situation usually occurs in small places with little information, or places that are secretly manipulated and ruled by interested people. .

Some people regard it as a convenient place to travel, because it has connections to the material plane, shadow plane, fairy wilderness, and inner planes (earth, air, fire, water) After passing through the etheric curtain, you reach another plane. Those who do this are usually the spell casters, the more powerful spell casters. At least Gavin will not do this until he has an extraordinary level.

In fact, the etheric curtain is no stranger to the cover text. In the rocky ground, the curtain connecting the Spring Bud Forest of the Fairy Wilderness is the standard etheric curtain, which is only temporarily fixed.

The Land of Three Rivers, the Fairy Midsummer Night, the temporary curtain leading to the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is also an etheric curtain, which fully demonstrates the plasticity of the etheric plane - the Land of Three Rivers and the Fairy Wilderness sing together When a song was played, the two parties resonated, and they used their own ideas to jointly shape this temporary curtain.

Due to the mental plasticity of ether, it is easy to get entangled with those spiritually powerful creatures, especially spirits. Many spirit creatures have the ability to enter and exit the ether plane and hide in the ether to hunt.

This is determined by the special relationship between ether and the material plane.

You can see the material plane at the etheric border, but the line of sight is relatively narrow. You can only see about ten meters. Any deeper and it becomes fog. However, you cannot see the etheric plane from the material plane.

This is the third type of invisibility besides goblin invisibility and shadow invisibility.

Compared with the first two, this kind of invisibility is more common. All professional abilities, without special explanation, refer to this kind of invisibility.

Because he believes that you cannot see him. When this belief is extremely firm, it will receive a response from the etheric plane, allowing it to integrate into the etheric border and naturally disappear without a trace in the material plane.

Due to this characteristic, many people confuse the Shadow Plane with the Ethereal Plane.

The ether plane is divided into ether border, deep ether and special ether world.

The etheric border is easy to understand. It is a place that overlaps with other planes. You can see other planes in the ether, but you cannot attack or touch them. You can pass directly through them because There is still a slight difference between the dimensions of the two sides.

The deep ether is purely the inside of the ether. Under normal circumstances, it is shrouded in all kinds of rolling fog. There are curtains of various colors everywhere, leading to different planes. Many powerful spellcasters, Will come here to find ways to travel to other planes.

As for the special etheric world, also called etheric space, it was shaped by a powerful being or a group of people, and it has characteristics that are different from other places, ranging in size.

The small one has only one house, surrounded by fog.

The larger one may be an isolated island or city in the fog.

It may even be a country and have its own civilization, which falls under the category of ether civilization.

What Gavin is facing now is a mist of ether, presenting a blurry image of a woman with disheveled hair.

Her strength was very limited, and she did not even have the ability to cross the etheric border and enter the material plane. Only the monotonous sound of crying could be heard.

The unknown is the scariest thing. Once the essence is seen through, its terrifying level will be greatly reduced.

Not to mention, Gavin himself was not afraid of it. He said to the etheric mist: "It's just a trick, it's easy to scare ordinary people, but it can be used against me." , don’t waste your efforts Let me open your eyes and see what scary art is.”

After finishing speaking, Gavin found an empty place to stand, took out a phantom crystal ball, and filled it with spiritual energy. Click and throw it out.

As the negative energy surged, a phantom curtain appeared out of thin air, and a phantom image began to play.

The phantom playing inside is none other than Regina's latest horror short film.

The main content of the short film is the story of using sound to create a scary atmosphere and scare people to death.

This is an original story, filmed by a professional opera bard and then edited.

The performance level of the actors in it is absolutely online, more real than real.

The sound of horror is Regina's specialty, and the atmosphere is absolutely perfect.

Compared with the obvious fluctuation of yin and yang, the sound of fear is played by eighteen instruments.

The Crying Witch simply scares people with her cries, which is so hollow and boring.

The phantom horror short film only played for a few minutes, and the crying sound completely disappeared.

But Gavin could see clearly that the foggy shadow did not disappear, but stayed a few meters away from the phantom, which indicated that the other party was watching the phantom played by Gavin.

Gavin is the only one who can show ghost movies to ghosts.

After the phantom horror short film was shown, Gavin put away the phantom spiritual crystal ball and said to the shadow of the fog: "Now you know, this kind of pediatric intimidation method is ineffective against me. Yes, why don't we try another way and sit down and chat. If you have any difficulties, you can just say it and I can find a way to help you solve it. Scaring people away is not the solution.

Even if you scare me away, it won’t take long for others to come. After all, this is a village and it is on a commercial thoroughfare. ”< br>
The shadow of the mist actually reacted, floating directly in front of Gavin, and kept opening its mouth, as if it wanted to say something.

But when Gavin heard it, it turned into a cry with different tones.

Seeing this situation, Gavin couldn't help but make a bold guess.

Perhaps the crying witch is not crying from beginning to end, but wants to communicate and express with others, but is restricted.

When the sound reaches the ears of others, it turns into an out-and-out cry.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that my guess is correct.

Gavin asked hurriedly: "What exactly do you want to say? I can't understand. When they got to my side, everything turned into crying. Can you hear me? If possible, we You can communicate in another way

I can see you, so you can just write. ”

The crying stopped on the spot, and the shadow of the fog suddenly changed. Each and every beautiful small character composed of fog appeared in front of the shadow of the fog out of thin air.

The shape of these small characters resembled One by one magic The runes are weird and unique.

If Gavin hadn't been equipped with the gem of insight, it would have taken a lot of effort.

This kind of writing belongs to the arcane empire Netheril. Text.

"Leave here, leave here forever. This is not where you should come. This is a cursed place. There are dangers you don't know about. Ignorant exploration will kill you. Leave here and warn others not to let them get close. Here.”

A series of warnings and threats, with only one purpose, which is to get Gavin to leave this place.

Gavin asked directly: "Are you Filancini?"

This question directly caused all the small words in the fog to collapse, and then the next second, the new The small characters in the mist condensed and emerged at a faster speed.

"Who are you? Who told you this name? What do you want to do here?"

The corners of Gavin's mouth turned up and he couldn't help but smile.

Although the other party did not answer his question directly, her reaction was an indirect answer.

This foggy shadow is the cursed witch Filancini. Her current form is probably due to the curse she received.

Gavin gave a positive answer to her question: "My name is Gavin, Gavin Nott, I am the new owner of this hotel. Next, I will lead people to renovate the hotel and renovate it." I came here to inform you of the use of this place.”

“I don’t agree. I don’t allow anyone to touch this land. There are dangers here that you don’t know about. Leave here and let it stay as it is now. , a good thing for everyone.”

Even in words, you can feel the intensity and excitement in the master's words.

“Don’t fool me with such ambiguous rhetoric. It’s useless to me. Come up with something substantive and useful, such as where does the danger come from? If I judge it to be true, I will stop the action naturally, otherwise I can only think that you are pretending to be a ghost, deliberately intimidating others, and don't want them to get close to this place and the secret you hide here." Gavin's counterattack went straight to the core of the problem.

The secret hidden by the other party is probably none other than her magic book.

In other words, the magic book you need is most likely hidden in the ruins of this hotel.

As for whether the magic book was destroyed by the original fire, Gavin had no worries at all.

Magic books are not ordinary books, they are usually protected by magical power.

Not to mention a magic book inherited from the Netheril era, which must have more magical abilities.

"Leave here, otherwise you will die..." leaving an unfinished line of words, the shadow of the mist disappeared completely.

Those small words in the mist were formed by consuming the mist in its body, which had been completely consumed just now.

This shows how weak this crying witch really is.

Gavin sighed helplessly. He was able to contact the other party, but it was almost as if he had not been contacted. He did not get any useful information from the other party at all.

Well, that’s wrong.

There are still two pieces of useful information.

For example, confirm the identity of the other party as Filancini, the owner of her target this time.

For another example, it is basically certain that one's goal does exist in this hotel.

This can be considered a big gain, after all, this is just the first contact.

Of course the opponent did not dissipate and die. The shadow of the mist just now was not the opponent's body, but a remote consciousness projection or the like.

As long as the opponent accumulates some strength, he will definitely be able to create a new one.

The next step is to use a two-pronged approach. If you have the opportunity to continue to contact the Crying Witch, continue to contact her.

The hotel was being renovated one after another. Taking advantage of the time left to repair the hotel, the hotel was turned upside down.

As long as the magic book is found, the remaining problems will be solved.

Gavin is a standard action person. They had already started taking action while the entire Amphier Village was still sleeping.

“We follow the order of easy first, then difficult, first down and then up. First, we should start with those well-preserved parts that serve as supporting foundations. Do not move those rocks easily and keep them in their original position. , wait until we are almost done with the first pass, then go back and repair slowly.”

This is not the first time Gavin and the others have done repair work, but it is the first time for this kind of repair. Large area of ​​building with serious damage.

But it was not difficult for them. After a simple discussion, they decided on a basic maintenance plan.

Strengthening its foundation first to prevent it from collapsing is the top priority.

Kobolds are professionals in this matter.

Most kobolds can tell at a glance whether the cave or stone building is in danger of large-scale collapse, and determine where the core load-bearing pillars are. This is their innate survival instinct. Like birds, they can determine at a glance whether they can fly through a gap in the distance.
