The Wizarding World: Throne of Frost

Chapter 65 An unexpected discovery

On the three-dimensional model of the entire building, Renault discovered that there was an underground space similar to a wine cellar under the house.

In the underground space, there were fourteen strangely shaped skeletons, and the chip even detected some traces of energy particles gathered.

This discovery made Renault convinced that the answer to the strange disappearance of this family should be in the underground space.

It’s just that the entrance to this cellar seems to be very hidden, and even the nobles who once lived here didn’t find it.

Otherwise, it is estimated that the reason for the disappearance of this family would have been known long ago.

Renault activated the powerful scanning ability of the chip and tried his best to analyze and find the entrance to the cellar.

Based on the scanning analysis of the chip, Renault finally found a suspicious place.

In this house, everything is in disarray, only in the study, an oil painting is neatly hung on the wall.

If it was placed in the past, this oil painting would not attract attention at all.

Nowadays, everything in the house has been manipulated by the wronged souls, and the oil painting that has not moved seems out of place.

Obviously, the painting was connected to the wall, so it was not easily manipulated.

Renault took Catwoman Carter into the study. Renault used his mental power to condense a spiritual hand, grabbed the painting and turned it.

As the painting turned, a mechanical sound came, and a dark passage suddenly opened on the floor of the study.

A rotten, sour smell came up.

Catwoman Carter had a keen sense of smell, and she covered her nose in an instant, looking disgusted.

Renault knew that this was the smell of corpses rotting underground for a long time, but the smell was not too strong, and it didn't seem to be produced by fourteen corpses.

Renault, with some doubts, casually performed a light spell.

A bright light source floated above Renault's head, illuminating the steps below.

Renault looked at Catwoman Carter who looked uncomfortable and said, "Carter, you stay here, I will go down by myself!"

Carter shook her head firmly and said, "Master, I want to be your sharpest sword, I am not afraid of anything."

Then she took the lead and walked in in front of Renault.

Catwoman Carter has the blood of the cat clan, so she naturally has the ability of night vision and does not need the light source on Renault at all.

Renault shook his head helplessly. He had already scanned it with the chip, and the chip scan had no obstacles, proving that there was no danger.

Catwoman Carter obviously misunderstood something, so Renault had to follow Catwoman Carter and walked in.

The light source above Renault's head also floated in with Renault.

Before Renault really walked into the underground space, a sharp scream came from it. Obviously, Catwoman Carter was frightened by something.

Renault manipulated the light source directly to the top of the underground space, illuminating all corners of the underground space, and Renault really saw the situation in the cellar.

The area of ​​the underground space is not large, just the size of a storage room.

There were some shelves with expensive wines around, and two locked boxes. Through the chip scan, there were some gold coins and jewelry inside. These ordinary things had no appeal to wizards.

The center of the underground space was cleared out, and thirteen skeletons of various sizes with strange shapes were arranged in a circle according to a special pattern.

Catwoman Carter looked at these skeletons with some horror, covering her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound, and the cat hair on her body had exploded.

Although Catwoman Carter had followed Renault for more than a month, and had killed many bandits who were preparing to rob on the road.

But she was still very young after all, and had never seen such a horrible scene in front of her. It was normal for her to be frightened.

Catwoman Carter saw Renault coming in and hurriedly ran behind Renault.

Renault was also a little surprised when he looked at these thirteen skeletons of various sizes and strange shapes.

According to the chip's detection, there were no signs of corpse decay around these thirteen skeletons.

The chip scanned traces of blood next to these skeletons.

Renault used the chip to overlap the traces of these skeletons and blood carvings, which seemed to be a sacrificial ceremony.

Moreover, the energy particles in the air of this cellar were obviously more concentrated, and there seemed to be a special smell of other creatures.

However, it has been too long, and Renault can only roughly perceive this information with the chip.

Without the chip, it would be impossible to find it.

Moreover, Renault has not encountered creatures with this smell, so he can only let the chip record it.

What is certain is that these skeletons are the people who disappeared in the manor.

Through the structure of this witch array, the chip gave the conclusion that this is most likely a sacrificial ceremony.

It should be a certain evil wizard who used the sacrificial ceremony to sacrifice these thirteen people to a certain existence as sacrifices in exchange for something.

Therefore, there are no signs of corpse corrosion around these skeletons. They should have been directly sucked away by that existence, leaving only the skeletons.

However, this method of sacrificing to obtain benefits is expressly prohibited in the Western Continent.

Because this method is likely to attract the attention of some powerful beings or planes, and have a bad impact on the wizard world.

Therefore, the evil wizard carved the sacrificial ceremony in the underground space, so as to avoid exposing the breath of foreign existence as much as possible and avoid attracting the attention of the Wizarding Association.

You know, if you are found using the sacrificial ritual in the Western Continent, you will be directly classified as an evil wizard and be wanted by the entire Western Continent wizard community.

Renault sorted out the course of events and asked the chip to record and organize all this information.

Renault also noticed that there was a lonely skeleton next to it, with obvious signs of corpse decay around the skeleton.

Renault has concluded that this skeleton should be the body of the captured wronged soul.

It should be that only thirteen people are needed for this sacrificial ritual.

And this seems to be the wronged soul of the hostess, who watched her family being absorbed into skeletons with her own eyes.

In addition, the concentration of elemental particles in the cellar increased due to the sacrificial ritual, and the soul of the hostess turned into a wronged soul full of resentment and wanting revenge.

It takes some time for the soul to turn into a wronged soul.

Apparently, the wizard did not notice that the hostess's soul had begun to transform into a wronged soul.

He sacrificed what he wanted and left directly without destroying the hostess's soul.

In the end, the hostess's soul was successfully transformed into a wronged soul, but after becoming a wronged soul, its memory was completely confused by the resentment.

It was impossible to find the wizard for revenge, so it could only stay in the manor with endless resentment.

It was not until Renault's arrival that the root cause was found.

However, Renault did not do anything, nor did he touch the sacrificial ceremony.

Who knows if he would be noticed by that existence if he touched the ceremony, Renault did not want to take the risk.

Renault's current strength is not enough to provoke the existence that can be sacrificed.

Being able to catch the wronged soul, Renault's purpose of this trip has been achieved.

Renault took Carter out of the underground space directly, and then moved the oil painting back to its original position, and the door of the underground space was closed, and then he left quietly.
