Alex was eager to try and left Viscount Ashby's study to follow Butler Edger to the gardener Wilmot's bedroom... Alex and Edger came across two whispering maids as they turned a corner.
"Did you hear? Wilmot also died just now, it is terrifying!" "I just heard it was an unexpected illness..." "Hmph! What could have caused the sudden illness? I heard Vakia from the patrol team say that it was a strange bump and that Ginny from the back kitchen brought the strangeness to the castle." "Wait, what did you say? That is impossible! How could it be in the palace..." They were about to turn the corner when they saw Alex and Butler Edger. They were shocked and immediately bowed their heads and stopped talking. Butler Edger glared at the two gossiping women but did not reprimand or punish them. Instead, he silently led Alex away.
Alex was a little surprised. This was quite different from the stereotypical old-fashioned and strict image of a butler. It seems that the past two days of people going insane or dying in strange ways has taken a heavy toll on the elderly butler, leaving him physically and emotionally exhausted.
Edger led Alex to the lower floor of the castle, where the family's most trusted maids and housekeepers lived. According to the rules, only who served the the Goldert family's father and son were allowed to live here.
The living conditions in these rooms are good. The floor, glass windows, gas lamps, cheap but sturdy wooden furniture, soft and comfortable beds, and cotton curtains are better than what the middle-class households in PARSLOV City typically have. But as Alex approached the gardener Wilmot's room, he frowned and felt a strange shiver before he could even open the door.
"Does it smell like a strange leftover breath?" Alex thought to himself, but he did not pause and continued walking straight to the door. Instead of reaching out to open it, he nonchalantly waved his hand and summoned three skeleton soldiers. One of the skeletons rushed up to Alex and turned the lock on Wilmott's room. There was a click, but the door didn't open. When Butler Edger, who had accompanied him, saw Alex's casual use of magic, his pupils contracted slightly and he took a half step back, visibly in awe of Alex.
Because the strangeness that has emerged in the Goldert Castle this time is skilled in curses, and curses require a medium. There are many types of mediums, but they all need to be contacted in the end. As a result, Alex was extra cautious. He stood in front of the door, refusing to enter. He left everything to the Skeleton Soldiers, but he did not even unlock the door! Alex looked at Butler Edger, who stood next to him. Butler Edger is also acting strangely. He only surveyed the area and left people to monitor it, but it's difficult to close the door! And the manservant who was placed here to guard has left.
"Wilmot! Are you in?" Butler Edger approached the door, trying to summon the valet. At the same time, he reached out his hand to knock on the door but saw that Alex hadn't touched it easily and hastily stopped his hand, turning his gaze back to Alex. "I think I know where Mr. Wilmot is," Alex said solemnly, raising his hand. Butler Edger followed, his scalp tingling as he saw the body of a middle-aged man dressed in a castle valet's costume hanging on the beam above the door.
Although the ceiling on the castle floor is quite high, it is about equivalent to one and a half floors in a normal house, but Alex's heightened awareness and observation had not previously noticed a dead person hanging in front of the door. "Have you finally come face to face with it?" Alex whispered to himself while delicately touching the ghost Eye Pendant in his hand and using spiritualism to summon the evil ghost Franz from the cemetery.
Let the ghosts deal with the suspected ghosts' strangeness. This is Alex's strategy. As long as the opponent is not at an official level, Franz can handle it, and even an official level can struggle for a few minutes. If the assessment is incorrect and the other party is not a ghost, Alex is also prepared to retreat and leave PARSLOV City immediately. Despite his friendship with Alvis, he never considered being buried with the Golderts. At the same time, white air spilled out from the opening under the door in front of him, quickly spreading across the room, and a sigh sounded from an unfathomable place. Alex could not help feeling drowsy. Fortunately, Alex has been practicing meditation continuously and his spiritual power has greatly improved. If he had been like this from the beginning, he might have been mesmerized by this bitter sigh while he was just passing through. "What a powerful charm!" Alex took a deep breath of cold air, took a step back, and then switched his thoughts, diverted them, and focused a portion of his spiritual mind on the graveyard.
Alex discovered this technique by accident while practicing meditation recently. The huge bell created by "Gelfies Meditation" on it is upgraded when the town centre in the cemetery is upgraded, which enhances Alex's meditation method. Going a step further, he can isolate a spiritual concept and attach it to the large bell without affecting himself. And this sliver of spiritual awareness is his lifeline.
Whatever spiritual power he encounters, as long as the cemetery is not breached, he can maintain a degree of clarity and resist the negative state caused by any spiritual power. Alex looked at Butler Edger, his face expressionless. Despite his strong resolve, this loyal old butler was unable to resist the charm technique's attack. His eyes were sluggish at this point, and he remained there in a trance, as if he couldn't move. A marionette.
Alex ignored Butler Edger and stepped back, his eyes fixed on the door in front of him. He summoned all six of the remaining spirits in the cemetery and shouted, "Let's see your true face today!"
Alex could sense that the strangeness in the fog was powerful and dangerous. He needed to be cautious and wait for the right opportunity to use his magic. The ghost eye in his hand was trembling slightly, as if it had detected its prey and was ready to attack. Alex was not in a rush to use his magical abilities, knowing that the strangeness was not a typical ghost. He wanted to be prepared and find the best moment to strike.
