Lord of the Witches

Berkshire, early morning.

Over this bustling city known for its various castles and manors, the sun has not yet appeared, and it is the last dark hour. A pair of gray eyes appeared without warning, and Tang Qi's figure appeared from the void. walked out.

A strange thing behind him fell off, transparent and illusory, with cold and death-like tentacles, together with those weird gray eyes, shrank into a small death octopus, swimming, being swallowed by greed Back to the belly.

It's not very stylish and beautiful, but it's very practical.

Tang Qi glanced at the things he blackmailed with satisfaction, and when he nodded, his figure had already appeared in the city below.

Here, it is extremely far away from Blue Deer City, or the entire Mihuang State, but it is a little closer to the second largest city of the Federation, Jatai City.

According to the information provided by Ralph's daughter Liya, because Liya was very close to her grandmother, that is, Ralph's mother, she almost knew most of the trajectory of Ralph's life.

As a genius, Ralph was successfully admitted to the University of Carthage. Originally, after graduation, he should have a great future and stay in a big city to work. But before that, Ralph decided to take a graduation trip. The starting point is Jiatai City, and the end point is Blue Deer City... After seeing my mother, I will look for a job.

But this trip changed his life, and the initial turning point was in Berkshire.

Tang Qi was carrying a suitcase and dressed in the most comfortable vagrant pharmacist. Following the information, Tang Qi walked through the streets with rich styles of the old era and entered a relatively remote old street.

Um?

As soon as he stepped into it, Tang Qi showed surprise on his face.

Subconsciously looked at the sky again, it was not wrong, it was only five or six o'clock in the morning.

The old street, which should be deserted and quiet, is very lively at this time.

At least dozens of young men with different styles gathered in line in front of a building. Although they were all communicating with each other, the hostile eyes could not be deceived.

What happened? Tang Qi looked directly at the house number. The hard metal house number was corroded and rusty due to the passage of time, but the numbers and the old federal font were still faintly visible.

Fogburg Office, 42 Severo Street.

Tang Qi silently read the house number, matched it with the information in his mind, and then walked towards the team.

Because of his excellent appearance and that natural affinity, it immediately caused a riot in the team of young people of various styles. Dozens of hostile eyes were cast over him, and there were vague murmurs of dissatisfaction.

Another food snatcher came, it's over.

He's a wandering pharmacist, and he looks too good-looking.

Handsome is about the same as me, but my temperament is not as good as his, what should I do?

He is an outsider. We have to work together to exclude him. It is best to let him go.

Or try buying with money, this guy must be very poor.

His keen sense of hearing absorbed these voices into his ears. The corners of Tang Qi's mouth curled up, and he went straight to the end of the line. There stood a black-haired, thin, somewhat feminine young man with black shadows and a strong Gothic style.

Tang Qi stood in front of him and asked kindly: Excuse me? What happened here?

The rest of the people who followed his news thought that the feminine young man would refuse, but who knew that he was just stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: Old Lady Charlotte of Fog Castle is looking for a caregiver, young, handsome, and strong.

After the feminine young man finished speaking, he added with a troubled expression: Mrs. Charlotte said that those who accompany her to the end of her life can obtain her inheritance... Although I don't know why the caregivers who have been recruited many times before cannot Approved by Mrs. Charlotte, but everyone decided to try their luck.

When Tang Qi heard the latter sentence, a look of understanding immediately appeared on his face.

As long as you accompany and take care of a dying old lady, you can get a large inheritance, and many young people without serious jobs will not refuse.

In his mind, messages with Fog Fortress and Old Lady Charlotte flickered, and his expression gradually became weird.

At this time, the warm sunshine finally began to rise, dispelling the darkness covering Berkshire City, and the line of dozens of handsome men began to agitate, because behind the rusty portal ahead, some movement.

The person in charge of recruiting is about to show up and the recruiting is about to start.

Before the group of young people could do anything to Tang Qi, the competitor, invisible fluctuations suddenly overflowed.

When a Crimson was cast, the bustling team immediately stagnated, and immediately they all strengthened a brand new idea in their hearts:

I want to fight myself, not to be a shameful little boy!

Amid such low growls, dozens of handsome guys all clenched their fists and dispersed with fighting spirit on their faces.

When an old man with white hair and age spots on his face and arms opened the door with difficulty, the lively scene he had seen many times did not appear this time.

All he saw was a young figure walking towards him under the warm sunlight.

The old man squinted his eyes, and after a few seconds, he realized that this was a young man who seemed to be a wandering pharmacist.

Then, he saw the young man coming up, and in his surprised eyes, he smiled brightly and said, Hi, I'm here to apply for a nurse.

...

In the morning, a black classic car of considerable value drove away from the city center and headed for the suburban Berkshire Hill.

In the car, Alfred, who was showing his demeanor as an old driver, was skillfully driving up the mountain, while looking at Tang Qi through the rearview mirror, and asked curiously: A pharmacist like you is also willing to become a male Nursing, you know, it's hard work and it's not dignified.

Although Miss was very beautiful when she was young, she is so old after all, and she has a bad temper.

Hearing this, Tang Qi glanced at the old white man thoughtfully, and continued to maintain his character design.

He smiled brightly and replied gently: As you can see, I'm just a wandering pharmacist. My travel expenses have been used up. If I take care of Mrs. Charlotte for a while, I can get a suitable reward. Why don't I do it.

Also, even if there is no pay, I am willing to help a lonely old man.

When Tang Qi was talking, he occasionally glanced at the desolate scenery that kept passing by outside the window, some pictures that did not match the information Liya gave.

In Liya's description, Berkshire Mountain is more beautiful than Mountain of Deer, but it is extremely desolate in Tang Qi's eyes. All the trees have become bare, black and gray, and everything is stained, except for the occasional crow that flies past. , it seems difficult to find other creatures.

In the eerie silence, there seems to be an indescribably terrifying life hidden.

Soon, the classic car creaked, ran over the stone bridge that seemed to have been cleaned for many years, and drove along the passage of the deserted manor to a huge old castle.

Tang Qi got out of the car and closed the door with a bang.

At this time, Alfred's voice came from behind. The old man did not get out of the car, but just looked at Tang Qi with a look of regret hidden in his eyes, and said, Sir, if you regret it, I can now take you back.

People like you are really not suitable for this job. Maybe those idlers in Berkshire are more suitable.

His keen perception made it easy for Tang Qi to hear the hidden meaning of Alfred's words, so he waved his hand and said without looking back: Go back, Alfred, your work is over, cancel the recruitment.

Hearing this, Alfred was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes became confused, and he replied obediently: Yes, sir.

Tang Qi stood still in front of the castle and looked at the dense, dark mist flowing down from the distant mountains, covering the castle. The diffuse mist made this area eerie.

In his eyes, intermittent pieces of information emerged.

Fallen Soul... Pollution...

Tang Qi, who had already vaguely guessed, thought of the information provided by Liya, sighed lightly, stepped on a dead branch, and entered the castle without hesitation.

Although Tang Qi came here for the first time, he didn't show any signs of getting lost, because the moment he stepped into the castle, the hoarse and poignant piano sound suddenly sounded, leading Tang Qi through the gardens, corridors, one by one. The room finally appeared in a side hall.

At the end of the front, in front of an extremely old piano, sat an old figure in a bright red skirt.

She seems to be extremely devoted, playing a piece called Pounding Heart, a work by a composer a hundred years ago, which describes love at first sight.

It's just that the song that should be cheerful and sweet, played from the old back, is hoarse and poignant, even with a hint of chilling horror.

When Tang Qi walked over, he caught a glimpse of a picture of a little girl on the cabinet, table or wall.

Her age is about fifteen or sixteen.

In the photo, she has blond hair, fair skin, mostly wearing red skirts and various hats, her appearance is amazing, and she exudes an amazing sweetness.

The sound of the piano, I don't know when it has stopped.

An extremely old voice entered Tang Qi's ears.

Did I look good when I was young?

Accompanied by the sound, was the positive image of the old figure slowly turning around.

The first thing that catches the eye is a crazy face that can make people collapse instantly. The sparse blond hair is combed back and is full of wrinkles. It seems that the skin that is about to break at any time is tightly stuck to the bones. The nostrils and mouth were already rotten, and fat maggots writhed in them, gnawing at the remaining rotten flesh.

In order to look good, she even put on bright red lipstick on her lips.

Boom!

When she turned around, time seemed to speed up tens of thousands of times in the originally colorful and magnificent side hall, everything was decaying, mottled colors climbed up, choking dust flew in the air, those heart-pounding photos , fades quickly.

The sweet girls in it are being replaced by disgusting old ladies.

Before Tang Qi's eyes, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, his eyes blinked, and that disgusting, crazy face was almost pressed against his face, and the stench was exhaled along with a terrible breath.

Answer me, am I... pretty?

This appalling turn of events couldn't change Tang Qi's expression even a little bit.

He seemed to have guessed that this would happen, and sighed in his heart: Scumbag, what a crime.

ps: Calvin is serious, so the update is slow, I really don't want to be perfunctory, please forgive me, I will adjust it as soon as possible.
