In this place close to the Arctic Circle, the sun did not bring much warmth, especially not to the cold castle of the Andrea Family. The black, dull building could only rely on charcoal and boilers to provide limited shelter for its occupants. The cold Siberian wind blew into the room through the crack in the window. Becky, who had just finished washing up, suddenly shivered and said, "Tsk — who opened the window again?"
Lily squatted in front of the window and smiled innocently at the cold wind. Vivian glanced at the husky and said, "She came here early in the morning to enjoy the blessing of the ancestors. Look at how silly she is. "
Lily stood up and snorted. "I can't be bothered with you. It's good to have some cold air. You can adapt to the climate here in advance. At least, you won't be like you yesterday and almost turned into an ice cube when you flew around. "
Vivian put her hands on her hips and said, "I only froze three! And they didn't fall. Didn't I successfully glide into the house? "
"Anyway, don't ask me to roast them for you next time when they freeze. I've been roasting them for a few minutes and you tell me that I can't eat them. Isn't that a waste of time..."
Lily and Vivian were chatting as usual, but the movement outside the castle soon diverted their attention. They saw a small team of three large sleds approaching quickly on the snowfield in the distance. After a closer look, they found out that it was a sled team composed of three large sleds. The sleds were sturdy and beautiful, covered with thick brown bear skins and decorated with shiny copper antlers and metal baffles. In front of the sleds were strong and strong sled dogs — yes, Siberian huskies. There were three groups of them.
Although snowmobiles made by technology were easier to use, people still used dog sleds as a means of transportation on the snowfield, especially those who had a strong tradition preferred this ancient skill. The sleds outside the castle undoubtedly belonged to the owner of this place, Igor. It seemed that the owner of the castle had returned from his old friend's place.
The sturdy sled dogs, who had travelled a long way, panted heavily as they pulled the sledge to the edge of the snow, and would not go any further. The servants of the castle, who had been warned, now hurried to assist them. Hao Ren happened to wander over at this time. He stood behind the window and looked at the beautiful traditional sleds with great interest. He could not help but exclaim, "Tsk, tsk, sleds."
Lily's eyes also lit up when she saw the lasso and rope in front of the sleigh. "Wow, a sleigh!"
Hao Ren looked at Lily strangely, vaguely feeling that he and the husky must be focused on something different.
Vivian poked Lily's elbow maliciously and pointed at the group of huskies outside the castle with her chin. "Hey, hey, they are your relatives. Don't you want to go up and say hello?"
Without saying a word, Lily opened the window and let out a loud howl. Suddenly, there was a commotion among the huskies outside the castle. Within a few seconds, all the sled dogs were running around excitedly as if they were on steroids. Finally, they lined up neatly in three columns and howled toward the castle as if they were shouting slogans.
Lily closed the window and looked provocatively at the stunned Vivian. "Let me tell you, it's hard to find something with wings here. There are a lot of huskies here. Believe it or not, I can climb on the roof at night and roar out two hundred of them."
Lily walked out arrogantly, leaving Vivian and Hao Ren looking at each other. After a long while, Vivian muttered, "I can't communicate with her."
The first thing the middle-aged housekeeper did was to tell Igor about the guests. When he heard that the demon hunter was not dead and had brought back a large group of helpers, Igor was very surprised. He immediately went to the living room on the second floor of the castle to entertain the guests.
At this time, Hao Ren and the others had not eaten yet. As soon as they heard that the owner of the castle had invited them, they hurried over to have a feast.
Igor was a middle-aged man less than fifty years old. He was short and strong, with sparse hair and pale skin. However, he had a big red nose, which made him look somewhat comical. However, this comical middle-aged man always had a depressed look on his face. This sense of depression also made him look much older than his actual age. Igor was as sensitive and suspicious as an old man. The evil spirit in the castle had greatly accelerated his aging. Even Hao Ren could see this at a glance.
"I'm glad to see that you're still alive, my friend," Igor greeted Nangong Sanba with a smile on his face. He was wearing a thick fur coat, but the thick clothes did not seem to help him dispel some kind of 'chill' in the house. He was still trembling slightly, and his voice was low and weak as if he was frozen. "That night, I heard a terrible explosion. The light in the bell tower lasted until the next day. I sent someone down to look for you, but they only found some blood and a locked iron door. I thought you were swallowed by the evil spirit."
Nangong Sanba was a playboy in front of Hao Ren and the others, but in front of outsiders, he was still a well-known exorcism expert. Therefore, at this time, his face was serious and his tone was full of vigor. "I've gone through a fierce battle with the evil spirit. I'm sure I've weakened its power. However, I have to say that the information you provided me was not detailed enough. The first seal failed. For this reason, I had to find a group of more powerful helpers. They carried a mysterious power from the East, which was enough to expel the souls under the castle. "
Hao Ren and Lily lowered their heads and ate the food in front of them. At this time, they looked up and smiled at Igor as a greeting. Then, he secretly touched Nangong Wuyue's arm and said, "Your brother is quite a stylish person."
"Orthodox demon hunters are self-sufficient. They never take on ordinary people's' business'. They don't even let ordinary people know of their existence. So, my brother, who is half-baked, has become the most famous exorcist. After all, he's the only one who jumped out."
The living room doubled as a dining room. The long, gorgeous dining table was full of sumptuous food. However, Igor was obviously not in the mood to enjoy the food. He chatted with Nangong Sanba for a while and quickly got to the point. He began to ask about evil spirits, curses, and exorcism.
The poor old man had been haunted by the dark forces in the castle since he was born. Madness haunted him throughout his youth, and terrible nightmares still occupied his mind until today. He kept hearing some murmurs coming from the depths of the ground — there was the indescribable strange knowledge of the vengeful spirit, the voices of his father, grandparents, and even the ancestors of the Andrea Family 300 years ago. He knew that the seemingly ordinary Easterner in front of him was his life-saving straw. Nangong Sanba was the first person he found who seemed reliable after looking for countless exorcists, Taoists, monks, and monks. At least Nangong Sanba could really make a fireball out of thin air, and he had also used runes to temporarily suppress Igor's nightmare.
This had already overwhelmingly surpassed the charlatans that Igor had previously found.
While Igor kept asking about witchcraft and Nangong Sanba kept bragging about Hao Ren and the others, the door of the living room was suddenly pushed open. A thin, white figure that looked like a wandering spirit floated in.
It was Anna, the mentally unstable girl with long, flaxen curls walked into the living room. Her eyes swept over Hao Ren and finally fell on Igor. "Dad, you're back."
When Igor saw his daughter, his expression changed slightly. He seemed a little unhappy, but more worried. He introduced her to the guests apologetically. "Sorry, this is my daughter, Anna. She doesn't usually interact with outsiders."
Then he looked at Anna and asked if she was in a better state of mind. After getting a positive answer, he smiled comfortably and let the girl sit down next to the guests for dinner.
Anna slowly sat down next to Hao Ren. It seemed that her thin body could not even withstand a little faster movement. She picked up the spoon and seemed to be talking to herself. "Can't Akim come here to eat?"
Igor's face was gloomy. "Someone will send it to him. If he gets a little better, he can come down to eat."
Anna ate her food silently, but Hao Ren always felt that the girl's eyes were sweeping over him, which made him a little uneasy while eating. Just as he was about to take the initiative to ask, Anna suddenly turned her head and looked at him. "You can't kill that thing."
"Oh?" Hao Ren responded, feeling interested.
Anna's dark brown eyes were shining with an inexplicable light. She looked at Hao Ren, but her eyes were focused further away. "The power of Tannagost has sublimated its people. Every Tannaean has obtained endless power. You can't reverse that high-energy polymerization state. You can only continue to make the crack bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, it will usher in a disaster."
Hao Ren was stunned. "... What?" (The novel "Sightings of Abnormal Creatures" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform.
