The teapot building had three floors in total. The first floor was a hall.
In the hall, there was a strange fragrance that seemed to be the smell of a plant. Even though Glenn was incomparably familiar with the more than ten thousand different scent maps of the Sorcerer World, he was still unable to accurately judge this smell. This was a smell that was not part of the scent map.
* Splash … *
There was a pond in the middle of the hall. There was a rock garden in the middle of the pond, and there was a two-meter-tall statue of a humanoid boy on top of the rock garden. Clear streams of water flowed from his lower body into the pond.
* Croak, croak, croak! *
At the edge of the pool, a frog moved its chin and jumped into the pool with a plop when Grimm's eyes landed on it.
Simba took the lead and walked over. Grimm's Mask of Truth was solemn. There was no sign of life here. What was with that frog?!
"Roar! Wizard Vanish, look at these fish!"
Fish?
The black and white dots and lines on the Mask of Truth showed that there was nothing in the pond. However, Simba would not lie to himself. Grimm cautiously walked over and looked into the pond. Suddenly, his tri-colored eyes widened, and his body stiffened.
There were fish, and there were more than twenty of them!
Each of these fishes was about two meters long. Other parts of the fish were not much different from ordinary carps in the Magus World. What was strange was that these fishes actually had a pair of human mouths. Red lips, incisors, canines, molars, and light pink gums. They were blowing bubbles on the surface of the water.
"I wonder how these fish taste."
As Simba spoke, he used one of his lion claws to scoop downwards. "Pa da, pa da." The strange fish struggled on the stone floor. Its tail kept swinging, and droplets of fishy smell flew everywhere. Its big mouth seemed to be begging not to eat me.
"Don't …"
Grimm wanted to stop it, but Simba had already taken a bite. To him, this snack would only take two or three bites. The strange fish actually cried like a baby.
"Not bad!"
* Plop! * Simba scooped up another fish.
Greedily devouring, Grimm shook his head. As a sorcerer, he really could not adapt to the lifestyle of these barbaric creatures, even though he had been in contact with them for more than a year.
There were no signs of these strange fishes in Grimm's Mask of Truth. It was too strange. Before he could confirm their food habits, Grimm would not come into contact with them.
Eh!?
Glenn raised his head again and suddenly found that the statue of the little boy on the rockery seemed to be a little different from before. It seemed that the head had moved a little, and the greenish-gray eyes had been staring at him all this time. The stream of water from his lower body was still flowing into the pool with a "hualala" sound.
He stared at the statue of the little boy for a while. The man and the statue stared at each other. The atmosphere was strange.
At the side, Simba seemed to be addicted to the strange fish in the pond and kept swallowing them. Grimm shook his head and was about to call Simba to continue looking upstairs when suddenly a "dong" sounded. The pendulum of a wall clock in the room began to strike the time.
Even so, Simba remained unmoved.
"It's so delicious. Wizard Vanish, you should try it. I've never eaten such delicious food before."
Simba was very excited. Grimm shook his head and swallowed his words. He then said in a low voice, "Then be careful. Although I don't feel any danger, I still feel that something is wrong here."
As Green spoke, he walked to the wall clock in the room alone.
This "dong", "dong", "dong", "dong", "dong", the surface of the wall clock was covered with a layer of bronze rust. There were some unknown decorative patterns, and the top left corner was decorated with a cuckoo bird. It seemed to be a living specimen made from a dried cuckoo bird. It looked very lifelike.
There were a total of 36 segments on the wall clock, and they were not evenly distributed. It was very strange. It was unknown what kind of time was used in that world, and what kind of rules existed in that world.
After studying for a while in front of the wall clock, Glenn frowned. Simba was still devouring those strange fish and didn't have the slightest intention of following him upstairs.
"Don't you want to go up and have a look?"
Simba ignored Grimm's question.
Creak, creak, creak, creak …
The wooden stairs emitted a deformed sound as he stepped on them. Grimm held onto the handle of the stairs and walked along the circular path to the second floor bit by bit. At the same time, the creaking sounds coming from upstairs faintly resonated with the creaking sounds coming from beneath Grimm's feet. It was as if the creaking sounds were looking for Grimm's rhythm. When Grimm stopped, the creaking sounds from above stopped as well.
Ha …
It was as if someone was breathing on the back of his neck, and it was a little cold. This trick was somewhat similar to the dark staircase of the Ruined Tower in the Black Iso Tower Academy.
"Hmph."
In one breath, Glenn stepped on the wooden stairs, which made creaking sounds, and went up to the second floor.
In the spacious room, other than a huge golden lion skin carpet, on the wooden floor, a rocking chair was rocking nonstop, making creaking noises. It turned out to be a big frog with a pipe in its mouth. Its eyelids were drooping, and it seemed that it was about to fall asleep.
"Welcome, guest from afar. Since the last time, I haven't talked to a stranger for more than a dozen eras."
The big frog said as it puffed out smoke rings.
However, Grimm stared at the golden lion skin carpet on the floor with a look of disbelief. After a while, he reacted and said gloomily, "Who are you?"
This lion-skin rug was shockingly Simba's fur. But no matter what, Glenn would not believe that such an absurd thing could happen, even if it was this so-called Dimensional Esophagus!
"Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? Who am I … "
The old frog's stomach grew bigger and bigger, as if it couldn't hold on any longer. With a "bang", its entire body scattered into small frogs. They jumped around and burrowed into the lion skin carpet. Then, the lion skin carpet seemed to come to life and flattened itself.
"Simba!"
Grimm roared downstairs, but there was no response.
"I'm so hungry, Wizard Vanish, I'm so hungry …"
The lion skin carpet was roaring. On one side, it was pitiful, and on the other side, it was crazy from hunger. The flat carpet stood up and roared, "Why don't you let me eat you? You're so delicious, why!?"
Following the lion skin's roar, a hideous, twisted smile slowly appeared on the wooden floor. This hideous, twisted smile seemed a little familiar. After thinking for a long time, Grimm suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.
This …
This was the old butler of the viscount's mansion that was swallowed by Wizard Apollo's red-eyed frog in Bi Seer City on the Eastern Coral Island. This was the mean guy that Grimm hated the most when he was young.
On the floor, this hideous face had a gloomy smile as it stared at Grimm. Its loose hair kept shaking, and a few strands of it actually stuck out from the floor.
