Leon pushed the door open.

A staircase that is not too long is revealed, and at the end of the staircase is a high platform with iron gates on both sides.

When Angel came to the railing, he looked down, and his expression froze instantly.

Person!

Dense people!

The huge underground cellar is packed with people!

These people were covered with rags, and from the unique patterns on the rags, it can be inferred that when they were complete, they should have been the clothes of servants.

Among them, some female servants can still see the skirts of the maid clothes they are wearing, but at this time, they are basically naked, and the white flesh is very dazzling.

But even so, there is no trace of charm.

Because they were all skinny, and under the thin layer of skin were bones. At first glance, it is like coming to the cell of the most demanding slave owner.

The stench, the horror and the palpitations.

Originally, these people were extremely sluggish, assuming all kinds of strange poses, and their expressions were also very dull. But when Angel and the others walked in, perhaps they smelled the smell of "people", and they raised their heads one after another and looked at the high platform.

When I saw Angell and his party.

In an instant, their eyes changed!

From godlessness to madness, from gray to scarlet, and his expression changed from sluggish to agitated and crazy, like a beast that has been hungry for a winter, waking up and facing the madness of food.

A pair of scarlet eyes just stared at it in the dark. It's like entering a damp cave and seeing a group of bats waiting to be devoured.

Before Angel could carefully distinguish their faces, screams, roars, and sinister laughter mixed together in an instant, and a pair of thin hands stretched out and danced towards the high platform where Angel and the others were.

It's like crazy believers who worship evil gods dancing.

"Blood, blood...... Give me blood!", "The smell of the living, hehehehehe. "Kill them, kill them!"

Everyone moved, all of them squeezed forward, but the iron doors on both sides of the platform were locked, and they couldn't squeeze in, so they could only slap the lock of the door with all their might.

The people in the back didn't know the situation in front of them, and they kept pressing up, causing the clicking sound to keep ringing, and this was the sound of broken bones.

Some people who are too crazy even attack the people around them.

When Ingres was stunned, he saw several severed limbs being thrown to a high place, and blood was like a fountain, gushing into their bodies, accompanied by the red light in their eyes, which looked even more strange and terrifying.

"These people are all servants of the manor. However, the incident half a month ago caused them to be eroded by red light, and they became what they are now. Leon had compassion in his eyes, most of these people were servants who had served the manor all their lives, some had grown up watching them, and some had been playmates of their brothers since childhood, but now, they had all become so terrifying.

"I put all the food on the ground. I came once a day, but they didn't have anyone to eat it, not even blood. They only seem to react to human blood, but where do I go to get human blood?" Leon: "For half a month, they didn't eat anything, and they were so hungry that they were bone-ty. But the strange thing is that they are all still alive, even if they are missing arms and legs, they are still not dead. ”

"It's only when they see a living person that they get excited, like legendary ghouls. ”

"People are not people, ghosts are not ghosts. Leon's eyes were shining, and his voice was a little choked: "Sometimes I really want to let them out with a fire, but I think that there may be a glimmer of hope in life." ”

Leon turned his head to look at Angels, "Angels, do you have a way to save them?"

Angel quietly looked at the struggling and twisted people below, trying to eliminate all external emotions, and carefully observing the people below.

Looking at their nimble movements, Angel thought that at least their bodies were still active. However, this is not the case, all their bodily functions are suspended, and they are simply dead people except for mobility.

Strangely, they weren't rotting, and there seemed to be some kind of energy in their brains that was protecting their last life limit.

Seeing that Angel hadn't spoken for a long time, Leon seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while: "Sure enough, are they hopeless?"

Ingres' expression was gloomy, but he really didn't know how to save them now. He could only look at Sanders for help, but Sanders stood aside, his eyes flickering from time to time, as if he was thinking about something, and did not notice Angels' gaze.

Angel thought for a moment, "Red-haired adult, there should be a way, right?"

Leon shook his head: "Mentor Huyce told me before that saving them is equivalent to killing them. ”

Leon didn't know what this meant, he just thought that the mentor was saying that they were already like this, and it was better to give them a good time if he saved them.

"Huis is right, saving them is tantamount to killing them. At this time, Sanders, who had been silent, finally spoke, and he took out his cane and lightly touched the void, and a strange ripple spread out. In the next second, the crowd in the underground cellar suddenly fell silent.

"They remain alive today because of the mysterious power of the Scarlet Throne in their brains. The only way to bring them back to consciousness is to expel this force, but once expelled, they lose their source of activity and die instantly. Sanderston paused: "They will die eventually, either by expelling that force and dying now, or by waiting for the force that maintains its vitality to die out on its own, it's just a matter of time, and in the end they can't escape the fate of death." ”

Sanders' words seemed to give the group a death notice.

It also made Leon completely collapse, as the viscount of Gru Town, facing his own people, facing the people around him who grew up, he couldn't save it, and no one could understand this pain.

Sanders didn't care about the life and death of this group of people, and after he came to a conclusion, he began to think about the effect of the Scarlet Throne: "It seems that the mysterious power in their brains is the truth." ”

Sanders looked at Angel: "Perhaps, if you were pulled into the abyss of depravity, you would have become like them." ”

Angel closed his eyes, suppressed the emotions that he wanted to squirt, and let his mind keep up with Sanders again: "So, the effect of the Scarlet Throne is just to make them crazy?"

After a pause, Angel added, "Irreversible madness. ”

Sanders shook his head: "If you want to know, you need to do an energy measurement experiment." However, mystical powers are difficult to measure, and I can't be sure of the final outcome. Preferably, there can be more information. ”

Sanders looked at Leon, who was still grieving, and was silent for a long time, waiting until Leon's mood calmed down a little before asking, "Do you remember how they behaved after they were just eroded by the red light?"

Leon said with some sneer: "They show symptoms of bloodthirsty madness when they see living people, but they will not be quiet then, even if there is no one around, they will go crazy." It was probably after being locked in the cellar for a long time that they slowly became quieter. ”

"Becoming quiet is because of the self-relieving nature of the mysterious power, and when it is unable to actively absorb external energy supplements, it will mainly reduce consumption, which is the commonality of some special energy. Sanders explained, "Aren't there any other anomalies?"

Leon shook his head: "No ......" But as soon as the words fell, Leon seemed to think of something again: "No, there seems to be a little more." They will follow Mistress Eulica, and wherever Mistress Eureka goes, they will go, just like their followers. ”

Leon's words made Sanders' eyes flicker.

"Is it puppetry?"

Sanders recalled that every generation of the royal court of the Guman Kingdom was extremely loyal from top to bottom, and even if the Guman King was extremely tyrannical, there was never any dissent within the royal court. Could it be that it is the blood kingship that makes them puppets?

But the real puppet is actually easy to find, just like the puppet in the antique shop in Zislade before, even if it has a human soul, it can still be seen through at a glance. Perhaps, the Scarlet Monarchy is not just a simple puppet.

Is it something like a soul seal?

"But if that's the case, why was Eureka herself affected?" Sanders wondered.

Ingres explained the answer: "There is a "Blood Origin" magic energy array on the Scarlet Throne, and as far as I know, this magic energy array is still running. In other words, the real master of this blood kingship is not Eurika. ”

Having said that, there is another doubt in this, although Yurika is not the master, she is a user, how can she use it against herself when she knows that the Scarlet Throne is dangerous?

"It seems that some answers are still needed from Huys. ”

This was the end of the conversation, Sanders didn't say anything more, and Ingres turned his attention to Leon beside him, who was still in a daze, and his eyes were not shining.

Angels looked down at the silent crowd below, thin as skeletons, but from the silhouette he could make out some familiar people.

He saw his mother's closest gardener, Dr. Dink, who had studied earth medicine with Jon, Swatch, a knight in the Middle Garden, who taught the knights of Lyon, and Frandu, a shepherd who grew up with their two brothers.

Every familiar face tugs at Ingres' heartstrings.

Angel couldn't bear to look any further, closed his eyes and kept breathing, trying to suppress the discomfort in his heart by the rate of breathing.

It took a while for Ingres to open his eyes and look at his brother Leon:

"Is Mentor Jon alright?"

Leon nodded sluggishly: "Jon is protected by the barrier set by Mentor Xiuis, and Subi is guarding by the side, and he is not affected. ”

"What about Ollie, and the head Manna maid?"
