The inside of the old castle is very dilapidated because it has been abandoned for a long time.

　　 Dorn first put the ingredients and seasoning rucksack on his body in the lobby, and then searched several rooms on the first and second floors with Vivian, and found almost nothing of value.

　　 So the two went back to the first floor.

　　 "Albert said that the nightmare horse would lock the captured girl in the castle. No matter the lobby on the first floor or the rooms on the second floor, there are many broken windows, almost half-open space."

　　 "These places are obviously inaccessible [closed]. Following the story of Albert, will this castle have confined spaces such as basements?"

　　Dorn analyzed this way.

　　 Miss Fairy was holding her ebony stick, but she nodded her head in favor of Don.

　　In the room that used to be the old castle kitchen.

After 　　 searched again, the two made new discoveries.

　　 When Vivian tapped the ground with the low-end Qinqin of her staff, there was a dull echo.

　　 "Dorn, the following should be empty. It may be a cellar, basement, etc. Your analysis is correct!" Vivian said.

　　 After removing some dusty garbage that was no longer visible, Dorn found the entrance to the cellar.

　　The black paint is invisible below, and only an old and decadent breath can be smelled.

　　 "We will go in again after the air circulates below." Dorn said.

　　 Vivian nodded obediently.

　　 After waiting for a long time, the two people lit a torch and carefully descended into the cellar.

　　 The cellar area is small.

　　 is about 30 square meters in size, and the wall is made of large bricks.

　　 For Dorn and Vivian who lit the torch, the scene in the cellar was unobstructed.

　　 "Dorn..." Vivian gently grabbed the corner of Dorn's clothes, her voice was small and dull.

　　 In this small cellar, with the light of the torch, the two of them saw nine human skeletons in all directions!

　　 Among them, a few skeletons have been stale, as if they would turn into powder with a light touch, obviously they have existed for a long, long time.

　　 "Are these the girls that Urtado's parents have been abducted by nightmares for a long time?" Dorn murmured.

After 　　 glanced around, Don saw a yellowed parchment next to a relatively not so stale skeleton.

　　 bends down and picks it up, reading with the light of fire.

　　 The parchment was written in Dona, and the handwriting was pretty graceful at first, but the more you write it down, the more scribbled and even maddened the handwriting.

　　 [I had that dream for the fifth time, and I was already here when I woke up. Is the story circulating in the family true? ]

　　 [There are eight bones in this basement, I'm so scared, save me. ]

　　 [I saw the monster that appeared in the dream, with red fur and long horns on its head. It just stood there, looking at me motionless, what does it want? Why do you want to do this? ]

　　 [The monster brought me fruit. Does it want to keep me in captivity? ]

　　 [I don’t want to be trapped here! I want to go out! I would rather go home and continue to suffer from my stepmother's blindfold, and it doesn't matter if I marry that disgusting timber merchant! I want to go out! ]

　　[Why? Why did I have already escaped, and when I woke up today, I came back here again? why? why? why? ]

　　 [The monster is back! Why is it doing this to me! Am I not miserable enough? why treat me like this! why! ]

　　 [Just because of the blood of Ultado on my body? What did Hultado do to it? Why does it retaliate against us like this! monster! monster! monster! ]

[help me! save! Don't want to die! I want to go out! Help! monster! save……]

　　 Seeing the back of the parchment, there are only some crazy, unspoken words.

　　The writing person, even if he was not crazy at that time, probably had collapsed due to strong mental pressure.

　　Dorn looked at the bones on the ground sympathetically, and silently laid down the parchment.

　　 "We must not let that nightmare horse imprison Amy here too." Dorne thought this way.

　　 Although I don’t know what Urtado did to this nightmare, the aura of this monster is too big, right?

　　 Looking at the appearance of the most decayed bones, this is at least a revenge that spans hundreds of years.

　　 And even so, this nightmare's revenge against the Urtado tribe doesn't seem to stop.

　　 Just when Dorn was thinking about it, suddenly, it seemed that he heard a small noise.

　　 Click.

　　 Vivian loosened the corner of Dorn's clothes and squeezed the staff in her hand.

　　 "Is it here?" Dorn asked.

　　 Miss Fairy just nodded.

　　 "Get out of the cellar first. It's too small for us to use."

　　 The two quickly left the cellar together and returned to the first floor of the castle.

　　 Click.

　　 In the kitchen suspected to be an ancient castle, the small sound of horseshoes still persists, as if it's going with him.

　　Dorn took out [Ruyi] and turned into [Pale Justice], looked around vigilantly, but found nothing.

　　……

　　 "Where is that nightmare hiding?" Dorn was puzzled.

　　 At this moment, there was a cry, and a strong wind came from Don's ears.

　　 too late to have any ideas.

　　Dorn, who has a certain amount of actual combat experience, reacted almost instinctively.

　　【Smart Lv4】Start!

　　【Harden Lv3】Activated!

　　Dorn successively opened two skills that had just been upgraded recently, and at the same time introduced magic power into the Mithril Ring, and drew out a [Stay Protection].

　　 While trying to dodge, he was also prepared to defend himself against being beaten.

　　Hu!

　　 The wind wall where the air condensed was suddenly shattered by a blunt weapon swung over.

boom.

　　 Although relying on [dexterous] dodge, Don's head and chest were not hit.

　　 But with a muffled noise, Don still felt a heavy blow on his shoulder and flew out.

　　 The world turned around for a while, and after falling on the ground, I felt as if the whole left arm was out of control.

　　 But because of the two defensive skills, Donn can barely stand up at the moment.

　　 At this time, he can already see who the person who attacked him just now is—

　　Vivian.

　　 Donne's most trusted, silver-haired fairy lady.

　　 "Vivienne?" Dorn sweated on his forehead and didn't understand what was happening now.

　　 Vivian did not reply, holding the ebony staff in his hand, pointed at Don, as if ready to launch the next attack at any time.

　　 "Vivian?"

　　 "Go to die."

　　Vivian only glanced at Dorn at this time, her fair and delicate face was full of indifferent expressions, and the lake-blue eyes were full of contempt and contempt.

　　 At this moment, Vivian looked at Dorne as if looking at the garbage on the ground.

　　 "Calm down, Vivian, it's me!"

　　 "Go to death." Miss Fairy waved her staff and rushed up again ~lightnovelpub.net~ Don had no choice but to use another [Pig Tu] skill to avoid it, but at the same time, he thought of a problem.

　　 Although I don't know why Vivian attacked herself, since they have already started fighting, why are the tops of the two empty now and there is no bright health bar?

　　 Boom!

　　 The ebony staff slammed heavily on the ground, and the masonry smashed into pieces, flying horizontally.

　　 Dorn endured the sharp pain in his left shoulder and managed to avoid the blow by rolling.

After 　　 stood up quickly, he pressed his right hand to the pendant of his chest and the magic power was transmitted, but the sense of sobriety that should have swept the whole body did not appear.

　　 "I seem to understand a little bit what is going on now."

　　 Although weird things happened one after another, Donne really had some clues about the current situation.

　　 [The nightmare horse in the story is red all over and has long horns on its head. It can pull people into dreams. It is an extremely evil and cruel monster. ]

　　 The words Vivian said appeared in Don's mind.

　　 Wei Wei Anping attacked herself for no reason.

　　The health bar during the battle did not appear.

　　 The sober balance pendant cannot be used.

　　 "So many anomalies add up, and only one explanation can explain it. It is very likely that I never knew at which moment I was pulled into its dream by that nightmare, right?"

　　Dorn came to this conclusion.

　　 "Go to die."

　　At this time, the fairy lady on the opposite side spoke indifferently again, turning her staff to aim at Don.

　　 "Hey, although I think you are almost impossible to be Vivian herself now. But don't hold her cute face and use such a cold expression to repeatedly say such hurtful things to me."
