I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Compared with the previous villages, Dry Water Town can indeed be called prosperous.

Although there is no city wall, the town's borders are fenced and there are militiamen in charge of sentry.

The houses in the town are built along the street, all the way down, continuously, and you can vaguely see a mansion located in the center of the town, which is very conspicuous.

The sky had not yet dawned at this time, and it was in the darkest stage before dawn. There was no one on the street, and the sentinel militiamen were all yawning.

"finally reached."

Drizzt breathed a sigh of relief, at least they should be able to attend the wedding smoothly in the future.

The moment he relaxed, Drizzt's eyes caught that there seemed to be a person standing under a tree not far to his left.

The man had red clothes, black hair, and a pale face, but his lips were redder than his clothes.

"Hey"

Drizzt patted Lu Jian on the shoulder, but in the blink of an eye, the man in red disappeared.

"Did you see anyone under the tree just now?"

He put down the bowl and asked.

"Well, indeed."

Lu Jian also saw the man in red, and he could see clearly that that man was still a woman.

"The woman in the red wedding dress, is this the bride?"

He is a little confused.

According to the mission description, the son of the Hai family is getting married, and the bride is an outsider, so the problem should be the groom.

Now that the bride suddenly appeared, something was wrong.

He retracted his gaze and glanced around again.

At this time, Lu Jian found that there was a woman sitting on the bench facing him in the carriage.

The woman in red, with a red hijab covering her face, was sitting there in an elegant posture.

Her skin was extremely pale, her nails were black, and Lu Jian smelled a salty and wet stench. The woman's skin seemed to be wrinkled and wet.

Lu Juan immediately turned around and raised the crowbar in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Drizzt also turned his head, but saw that there was nothing in the car.

Lu Jian frowned, walked into the car, and came to the place where the woman had been sitting just now.

Putting your hands on the chair, it's cold, it's not just that there is no temperature, but it's colder than the night wind outside.

On the ground, Lu Jian saw a little water stain.

After dipping a little bit with his hand, Lu Jian sniffed it.

"It's sea water."

They had been in the carriage just now, and there must have been no one else in the carriage, so naturally there could be no sea water.

"This town doesn't look very welcoming to us."

After listening to Lu Jian's narration, Drizzt's face was a little dignified.

"I have encountered more monsters before, and I can solve them with a gun. It is a bit troublesome to encounter such ghosts."

Perhaps because of the privilege of the Quiet Place, they were not hindered too much from entering the town, although the eyes of the militiamen were the same as those in the village before, full of suspicion, resistance, and guard.

After parking the carriage and carrying the lantern, Lu Jian and Drizzt walked along the quiet street towards the largest mansion in the town.

Almost all the houses have no lights, only the moonlight illuminates the street.

Lu Jian caught a glimpse of a mouse in the alley and made a creaking sound.

Suddenly, he stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Drizzt was startled, and also stopped.

"listen."

Lu Jian put his hand next to his ear and listened carefully.

Drizzt also calmed down and pricked up his ears.

He heard some kind of melody echoing in the air.

In that melody, there are whispers.

"Waiting for you to return on a good day and auspicious day"

Like weeping like complaining, like the crying of a resentful woman in a boudoir.

"Where is this sound?"

Drizzt felt his hairs stand on end, and his whole body got goosebumps. He looked around, but there was no light.

Do not.

In the deep darkness, there were only two red lights.

Drizzt saw, ahead of the road, two bright red lanterns hanging at the gate of the imposing mansion.

The light of the lantern flickered in the night, and the ground was bright red.

that song,

It seemed to be coming from the compound.

"Officer, don't go"

A crisp whisper, accompanied by a chill on the back of his neck, made Drizzt turn his head suddenly.

He saw that the woman with the red hijab was very close at hand.

The lower half of the face under the hijab was soft and charming, but it was frighteningly white, and the red lips were particularly eye-catching.

Only then did Drizzt realize that the woman's clothes were actually made of paper!

This weird scene caught Drizzt's attention for a moment, making him think about it.

swish

Before he could react, a crowbar swept across the bride's body, but just as the crowbar touched her, the woman in red disappeared.

"careful."

Lu Jian made a reminder.

"Could the singing just now be the strange sound of the Lihai family mansion in the mission description? What does it have to do with the bride? The clothes on her body are made of paper, why?"

Drizzt was puzzled.

The looming singing voice lingered in my ears, which was creepy, but perhaps because of the crowbar in awe of Lu Lian, the woman in the red wedding dress did not appear again.

The two came to the gate of the Hai family mansion.

This mansion is indeed magnificent, but whether it is the pillars with some mottled paint, the door plaque with messy vegetation like seaweed, and the gate with some unknown scratches, they all tell them that this is not an ordinary rich family.

But after waiting for a while, no one came out to open the door for them.

"Could it be that we have to find a way to get in by ourselves?"

Drizzt stroked his chin, shook off the ashes from the spent pipe, and put it away in his jacket pocket.

"I'm familiar with this. When you get married in the countryside and have a water banquet, just mix in and eat it and you're done."

Lu Jian patted his chest.

"?"

A question mark appeared over Drizzt's head.

"Two."

At this time, a faint whisper came from behind the two of them.

Lu Juan subconsciously picked up the crowbar, but it was in vain.

They saw a short man standing nearly one meter behind the two of them.

The man was wearing well-made silk clothes, completely different from those shriveled villagers.

However, the man's face was heavily powdered, which made him look too fair, even a little sickly, in stark contrast to the black clothes. His lips seemed to be painted with lipstick, which was too bright.

In Lu Jian's words, this is more like a dead person than a living person.

"!"

Drizzt looked at him warily, and he also had a bad feeling about this man.

"They are the guests who came to the wedding, please come with me, our master has arranged another residence for the two of you."

The man's voice was calm, like an unchanging tombstone.

"it is good."

Lu Yi and Drizzt looked at each other and followed the man's footsteps.

They came to an inn-like three-story building next to the mansion. In the dim light, the innkeeper received them with a numb expression and gave them the keys to the two rooms on the third floor.

Drizzt walked into his room, checked first, and found no major problems.

He took off his coat and was about to rest when there was a knock on the door.

"it's me."

Lu Jian's voice came from outside.

Drizzt opened the door and saw Lu tripping a quilt in his hands.

"Let's sleep together tonight."

He said seriously.
