Chapter 671 The Curse of the Ghost Castle
The ghost castle is the haunted house in the mouth of the Chinese people, but this "house" is a bigger castle. In other words, the reason why this castle looks so deserted is that in addition to Elizabeth's lack of money to repair it, it is also because the castle was once haunted. What is a ghost? That's the ghost in Elizabeth's mouth, a dirty thing that can't be seen or touched but can hurt people.
It is generally believed that human life is divided into two wholes: body and soul, but when the soul is separated from the body, it is when human beings die. This process is called "soul out of the body". Many people have the experience of being out of their minds. When they are seriously sick and coma, when they sleep deeply, or even when they accidentally have a car accident, they will have a sense of head-heavy nothingness, as if another person floats out of his head and looks coldly at the other side sleeping or falling into a coma - science The family even found that the weight of the soul is seven pounds.
Generally speaking, the soul cannot survive alone without the body, just as the body becomes a dead thing without the soul, but some souls have not dissipated for some special reasons. They have survived with a certain memory of their lives, and traveled between heaven and earth according to this obsession. Such creatures as Huaxia people It's called a ghost, and Westerners call it a ghost. Because ghosts are invisible to the human eye, many people do not believe in their existence, but not seeing them does not mean that they are not. In fact, there are many people in nature who can feel the existence of these dirty things, such as domestic pets or poultry. Near dusk, you will find that these little guys in the wild will suddenly be inexplicably. The panicked god even jumped up because they saw these things.
Lin Tianchu didn't believe in these ghost theories before. After all, seeing is believing. If you don't see anything with your own eyes, it's better not to believe it too much. But after experiencing the magic of magic and the power of Longinus's gun, he no longer resisted the ghosts and gods, so he was not surprised to see Elizabeth say the ghost's words at all. To his surprise, even Elizabeth had only heard of the haunted castle and had never seen it, which showed the power and magic of the monster.
"Elizabeth, you said there was a ghost in your castle. Did you see it in person?" Lin Tianchu asked doubtfully.
"No, the legend of ghosts has been circulating in this town for at least hundreds of years. Don't you see that the whole town is deserted in this corner of my manor? ...The most abominable thing is that except for a few maids assigned by the royal family, I can't hire a single maid in this town!" Elizabeth spoke a little depressed.
This is a novelty. The royal princess was isolated in this small town, and she couldn't invite servants to do things. It's really ridiculous. Elizabeth's words made everyone interested, and even Diffie temporarily forgot the conflict with her and listened with interest.
It turned out that this ancient castle was not originally the property of the royal family of England Island, but the private property of a grand duchy in the Middle Ages. Not only that, the whole town was regarded as the territory of this grand duchy, which was extremely rich at that time. However, the happy life of this unlucky Grand Duke did not last long. Since he got a treasure one day, the castle has changed dramatically: first of all, there are continuous losses of maids and servants inexplicably, and then the Grand Duke and his family suffer from incurable diseases and die of pain. In the end, all the creatures in the whole castle lost their lives, and the Grand Duke family did not even leave a descendant who inherited the castle, so that the castle directly belonged to the Yellowstone royal family of the empire.
Before Elizabeth became the owner of this castle, she did not know that there was a legend of "ghost castle curse" in this town: any creature who enters the castle will lose his life within a year, and no one can be an exception. In fact, Elizabeth has been stationed in the castle for six or seven years. Not to mention that she or the maids around her are fine, even the cats and dogs in the castle have not lost their lives inexplicably. However, the people in the town are convinced of this legend and dare not contact the people in the castle for fear of being implicated, and the castle is becoming more and more deserted because of its lack of popularity.
This kind of ghost legend is easy to satisfy people's curiosity, especially for a woman like Di Fei, who likes gossip. She used to be very interested in these ghost anecdotes when she was studying, not to mention that such a strange thing happened around her now. "Elizabeth, what did that Grand Duke got it? What kind of baby made his family go bankrupt?
"I don't know!" Elizabeth shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I only know that it is antiquire from Athens or Egypt. After all this happened in the castle, the royal family did not find the figure of that thing. For so many years, we can't find out what that treasure is!"
Athens, Egypt? It's hard to do! Lin Tianchu smiled bitterly. Although he is not as specialized as Di Fei, he also knows that these two places are the original birthplace of ancient civilization on earth. The roar of the ancient city of risparta warriors in Athens is still echoing. The curse of the pharaoh in the Egyptian tomb is still threatening the world. These two ancient gods can often be seen in Hollywood blockbusters. The figure of the secret place.
Generally speaking, the ancient objects involved in those two places mean that they are mysterious and valuable. It is understandable for the rich lord to get such a thing as a treasure, but what brings such a vicious curse to ruin a big family? Lin Tianchu didn't know. Di Fei wanted to know that Elizabeth couldn't let Di Fei know.
There was no clue, and this matter could only be used as a gossip to make everyone spend a lot of time, and soon everyone entered the ancient castle. The castle is indeed the same as Elizabeth said. It was very deserted because of its lack of popularity. Lin Tianchu and Di Fei didn't even see a servant who was serving. It was not until Elizabeth took the two to a living room full of candles that an old lady in black and white maid came in and carried it. A pot of steaming black tea.
"Lin, Di Fei, come to taste the black tea in Wudu, it's not bad to dispel the cold..." Elizabeth poured tea for the two of them attentively.
"Miss, dinner is ready and can be delivered at any time!" The old lady said respectfully, as if someone owed her millions, which was extremely serious.
"Well, Tina, send it up. Thank you for your hard work!" Elizabeth was very polite and said to the old M Mother with a smile.
The old mage didn't reply and left without looking back. Lin Tianchu and Di Fei frowned on one side and secretly said that the servant was more arrogant than the master. How has Elizabeth lived a good life over the years? Careful princess life, don't worry about it. Every family has its own difficulties. Lin Tianchu sighed and had more pity for Elizabeth in his heart, but Di Fei couldn't hide his words. "Elizabeth, why are you so polite to this old woman? Isn't she your maid?"
"Maid? No, no, no, Difie, now it's the twenty-first century, and there is no concept of a maid. Even if the royal family has only signed an employment contract with these people, Tina is not my servant. On the contrary, she is one of the few people in the royal family who take care of me!" Elizabeth shook her head and smiled bitterly. Her identity as a princess looked bright. In fact, only she knew the pain. Fortunately, the two people in front of her were their own. "Forget, let's not talk about this... I'm a little confused. Don't you wonder why I greeted you for dinner in the living room?"
The more noble the family is, the more exquisite the hospitality is. There is a dining oriental, a talking oriental, and there has never been an aristocrat greeting guests to eat in the living room. Lin Tianchu had thought that Elizabeth's hands were not rich, so some of the restaurants in the castle couldn't handle it. Now, looking at Elizabeth's initiative, things don't seem to be what she imagined.
"Oh, is there something wrong?" Di Fei didn't understand until now, "Elizabeth, is there something strange in the restaurant?"
"Not bad!" Elizabeth snapped her fingers and said with a thoughtful smile, "Actually, a strange thing happened there, which has lasted for nearly two hundred years. It's about that legend. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Is there such a good thing? Lin Tianchu and Di Fei, you look at me, I look at you, then look at each other and smile, and nod together. There is still some time before the single meal. Why don't you find a happy time to pass the time?
"Oi, Elizabeth, take us to have a look! ...I'd like to see what happened here two hundred years ago, which could make a family disappear silently!" Lin Tianchu nodded and said.
