Amidst Young Ram's shouts, the ox cart slowly drove into the shimmering street and disappeared into the white morning mist.
Ram nodded and walked to the driver's seat. Suddenly, he remembered something. He turned his head around and looked at Vivian. He did not dare to look at Vivian's face, so he just looked at Vivian's brown boots.
The coat was about the same size as a cloak and there was a circle of white fur around the neck. Angele put on the coat and took out a pair of black leather gloves from his pocket. He then closed the door.
Angele opened the coat and took out a purple test tube from the pouch on his belt. He threw it to Ram. "This is a month's supply. It should be enough for all the plants in the garden."
"Zero, can you get closer?" Angele looked at the black hole in front of him and asked.
* BAM *
"Sure, see you tonight." Vivian smiled and nodded. "Thanks for the advice."
Suddenly, the door behind him opened by itself, revealing the dark hallway outside. It felt like someone opened the door with their bare hands.
"Finally, something new …" Angele stood in front of the window and felt the cold wind blowing in his face. He finally had a clue about the direction he wanted to go.
The decorations in the shop were simple.
"Ma'am, your flowers are amazing. If I don't wake up early, I won't be able to get them …" Ram responded.
"Here, take this." Vivian took out a small yellow paper bag and gave it to the boy. Angele could smell the sweet aroma of a hot fried pancake.
Only when he was living with Vivian would he store the murals in the space mirror to prevent any strange phenomena. During the rest of the time, he would let it have its freedom and allow it to produce freaks. Then, he would continuously study the details and search for clues.
"Ma'am, Vivian, do you have the flowers ready?"
They wiped the dust off their hands. "Yes, ma'am. I need to go to the next shop." Ram rubbed his hands together, trying to warm himself up.
Angele finished the tea in one gulp and dropped the leaf cup. He quickly moved the brown wooden planks to the side.
The candle in the reading room was extinguished right away.
The little boy on the cart was wearing a gray linen shirt, and he looked a little stiff. His short brown hair and blushing cheeks made him not dare to look Vivian in the eye, so he kept his head down.
A woman in a white dress slowly walked past the door and disappeared into the darkness.
"Ghost Tower? Are you talking about the dilapidated wooden building in the forest halfway up the mountain? " Vivian hesitated for a second and realized what he was talking about. A strange look appeared in her eyes. "You know? What happened? "
There was an arched mahogany counter, and the wall behind it was an empty white-walled closet, which was divided into horizontal compartments. There was nothing in the horizontal compartment. It was empty.
Here ~ ~ ~
Ram was about to decline when he smelled the fragrance. His stomach suddenly growled and he lowered his head with a flushed face. "Thank you, Madam …"
"Of course." Vivian smiled and reached out her hand. "Give me what I want."
"My pleasure." Ram hurriedly performed a knight's salute in a weird way. He put his hand on his left chest and bent his knees, which made Vivian chuckle.
Angele walked on the street slowly, the white smoke he was exhaling mixed with the white mist. On the deserted street, there were only a few shadows of milkmen who got up early to deliver milk.
The woman was wearing a white silk dress with a tight waist. The surface of the dress was like a cheongsam, reflecting the glossy silk. Her long black hair was coiled up, leaving only two strands on her shoulders.
"I'm fine. Alright, I need to open the shop now. See you at noon. "Angele waved his hand, turned around, and walked into the shadows.
Vivian stood by the door and watched the cart disappear into the distance. She then looked at the dark corner on the left.
Angele was a bit surprised. "It's broken again?" Shaking his head, Angele walked out of the door, not caring about the broken door at all.
Angele tightened his collar with a calm expression on the face. He walked to the living room on the first floor and pushed the door open carefully.
He put the frozen box into the mirror, turned around, and walked to the door. He grabbed a black cotton coat from the hanger beside the door.
Vivian caught the test tube and looked at it. "Not bad, you found some good materials this time. It's rare to see such a high quality potion."
"Also, Ms. Vivian, do you know the haunted building on the east side of the town?"
Vivian pushed the float to the back of the oxcart. Ram followed her and pushed the float as well. Ram took out a piece of paper from his pocket and stuck it on the float. It was a label.
Angele closed his eyes and opened them again. His sight returned to normal. The black powder in the glass plate was still scattered on the surface of the plate. The candlelight was shaking and Angele's shadow was swaying on the right side.
Vivian pushed the float to the iron gate, opened the door, and pushed the float out.
"I'm not sure, but it's best if you don't get too close to it. I heard from my grandfather that those who enter the building rarely come out alive. Most of them go missing," Ram said mysteriously. "Alright, I'll go collect the flowers first. See you tonight!"
Under the faint light in the sky, the woman's towering chest and slender waist were exceptionally prominent when she bent down. Her pair of exposed slender legs also reflected a faint white phosphorescence, like ivory jade.
'Unknown … interference detected … Isolating …'
The man took off his hat and revealed Angele's smiling face.
Angele took a deep breath and stood up. He carefully covered the plate with the lid and put it back into the freezer.
"Huh? Wizards … I don't think it's possible. I thought all the wizards were killed by the kingdom's knights. "Vivian chuckled.
Angele stared at the black hole in front of him. He controlled the biochip and slowly moved away.
The black hole turned into a small black dot in Angele's sight and disappeared into the countless black diamonds.
* WOO *
※ ※ ※
"Do you need help?"
* Creak *
The dilapidated wooden door fell to the ground with a loud crash.
Angele walked down the dark hallway and he could hear the wooden planks under his feet. Some of the wooden planks were cracked due to the old cracks.
Angele walked to the end of the street and stopped in front of a small shop on the left.
A tall man slowly walked out of the corner. His long red hair reached his waist and he was wearing a black hat. Angele could not see the man's face, but he could see the beard on his chin.
It was Vivian who had lived in the town for more than 100 years. She dyed her hair black as well, changing her appearance to that of a local resident of the kingdom. Vivian's cold demeanor was softened by the flowers.
The peddler's voice was a bit hoarse and it echoed in the air.
Vivian heard the boy's question and stood up. She put the red rose on the cart. "It's almost done, Little Ram, you're still early. Have you had breakfast yet? I have your favorite muffin. "
Zero did not respond for the first time. The only thing Angele could hear was some static noise. It sounded like a TV with no signal.
"The dodo bird is making noise … It's almost dawn …" Angele ignored the door and looked at the night sky. "It's almost dawn … It's time to go to Vivian."
"Alright, go ahead, kid." Vivian rubbed Ram's cheeks and smiled.
Several minutes later, Angele finally heard something.
Outside a double-story building with red walls, a young boy driving a gray ox cart was yelling at the building.
He walked into the dense forest and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The clear echoes of the footsteps sounded even more ear-piercing and terrifying in the quiet building.
Angele turned his head around. "Again?" After living for so many years, he was almost used to this kind of sudden and strange phenomenon.
* BEEP *
* BAM *
There were square stickers that looked like dog skin plasters, glass bottles filled with yellow powder, some dried flowers and plants, and even some colorful badges and beads. There were also some other random items.
Angele crossed two streets and reached the southernmost side of the town. There was an old house with yellow light coming out of the windows.
"Dupont Cream Tea! Five bronze coins per cup! "
Young Ram lowered his voice mysteriously. "Don't get too close to that place. I heard there's a strange man living there. He always wears a black coat and walks around quietly. People in the town think that he's a wizard …"
"See you at noon." Vivian shook the test tube and entered the iron fence with the purple liquid in hand. She disappeared into the bushes.
Between the gray wooden houses and the earthen houses, on the crooked yellow yellow street, a peddler carrying a cup of cream tea was shouting loudly from time to time.
Angele jumped to the back of the counter and pulled out a black wooden bed. He laid down on the bed and sat on it. He sat on the bed and took out several small items from the lock under the counter.
Angele bought a cup of cream tea and took a sip from it. The cup was made from a large leaf. The fragrance of the hot cream mixed with the sweetness of the apple filled his mouth. It reminded him of drinking milk tea.
Inside the fence of the small building, a young lady with snow-white skin was bending down to carefully pluck the fresh flowers from the flowerbed.
The sky was still dark and the sun was not up yet. The only noise he could hear was the dodo birds chirping. There were several chubby women walking by the street. They were laughing with their baskets in their hands, adding some liveliness to the quiet morning.
There was a small river on the right side of the shop and there was a grocery store on the left side. The grayish-brown wooden planks were arranged vertically to block the entrance of the shop.
'Zero recovered, system restored … Unknown problem solved.'
Angele heard the sound of a human child yelling outside the window. He kept yelling from low to high.
