Bauhinia Castle wasn't actually called that.
Lorne had clearly seen in the 'Backlund History' that this castle in the suburbs was originally called Quasimodo Castle.
It belonged to a great noble when the Pouant Empire was first established.
However, the world had changed, and the great noble's reputation had been ruined. His fief had also become desolate.
It wasn't until Count Lehmann rose to power and Emperor Pouant rewarded him with this castle that it had a new name.
As he walked up the stairs, Lorne was looking forward to it.
"My luck is really good. Bach left the castle in the afternoon. I went up to sign in, so I didn't have any worries.”
He went up to the top floor and stepped into the bell tower.
The place was filled with dust, making Lorne stop moving forward.
"Can we really get good stuff at a place like this?”
He was a little suspicious, and then he tried to go deeper.
He was slightly excited when he saw the bunch of gears connected to the spring and the back of the huge clock.
"Forget it, I'll just sign here once. It's a waste not to use it today anyway.”
Just as he made up his mind to use up the number of check-ins for the day, the bright moon shone through the gap in the hanging bell.
In the corner, a shadow suddenly came to life!
As a level-9 mage, Lorne's mental strength had already reached an unimaginable level.
He noticed the shadow immediately.
"Ka…West... Modo!"
The shadow condensed into a monster and let out a strange cry.
Facing Lorne, the intruder, it suddenly pounced over.
Judging from the aura he was emitting, he was actually a warrior of the seventh rank.
This represented the standard of a high-level Warrior. Even in Backlund, they had a place to stand on.
Lorne's expression did not change. A fluorescent light flashed on his hand, and pure white fighting energy spread out.
However, the warrior energy of a warrior of the fourth rank had no effect on the shadow.
"No?"
Lorne was puzzled, and then he changed his train of thought.
His massive mental strength was suddenly released, and like a gushing tide, it rushed towards the shadow monster.
This was the first time Lorne had used his mental power without any scruples since he signed in.
The pressure was so great that it seemed to have solidified.
In this small space, it actually made it difficult for the shadow monster to move.
As the moonlight shone, the shadow monster gradually revealed its true form.
Ugly!
This was the first impression it gave!
His nostrils were sunken, his face was contorted, his eyes were empty, and even his lips seemed to have been sewn.
......
The moment the bell tower shadow monster appeared, Lilia, who was sleeping on the second floor, was jolted awake.
"The aura of a high-level warrior!"
Without hesitation, she jumped up from the bed, grabbed the sword beside her, and rushed out.
The first thing she did was rush to Lorne's bedroom.
"Second brother!"
The door was pushed open, and there was no one there.
Lilia was anxious. Her teacher, Bach, had left the castle in the afternoon, and now a high-level warrior with an unknown aura had suddenly appeared.
Moreover, he felt that the aura was filled with malice!
He was still fine. During this period of time, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he already had a certain ability to protect himself.
However, his second brother, Lorne, was only a Level-1 Warrior!
"Since I can't find Second Brother, I'll go and get rid of the enemy!”
Gritting her teeth, Lilia grabbed the supporting role and rushed upstairs barefooted.
She had already sensed that the danger was coming from upstairs!
......
"Casey…Modo…"
The shadow monster was pressed to the ground and could not move. It whimpered.
However, he only had this sentence.
"Is that your name? Or is it your resentment?"
Lorne frowned, but he could not be bothered.
The malice emanating from the other party was so obvious.
This thing had actually been staying at the place where he and his sister lived.
"Destroy it!"
Without any hesitation, a huge amount of mental energy condensed into a hammer and smashed out.
Boom!
With a soundless bang, the bell room and attic returned to silence as the shadow monster disappeared.
At the same time, a message entered Lorne's mind through the system.
"The monster's name is Kahn. He was once the bell ringer of this castle. However, with the extermination of the great noble Quasimodo, the castle was burned down. Kahn was also burned alive on the top floor.”
" Many years later, the castle was repaired, but his wraith never dispersed. He even used the name of the great noble Quasimodo as his name.”
Lorne was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and sighed.
"What a poor honest man!"
However, he only sighed.
Those who died deserved to die.
If he couldn't get rid of it, why would he live to scare people?
Against this kind of monster that had no substance, his enormous spiritual power was simply the strongest weapon.
He didn't need to do anything. He just needed to mobilize his spiritual power to crush them.
After dealing with the bell tower monster, Lorne did not hesitate anymore and immediately signed in.
"Ding! Clock Tower has successfully signed in. You have obtained the Time Acceleration skill (the current acceleration effect is doubled)."
Lorne was stunned for a moment. Time acceleration?
.......
When Lilia rushed up to the top floor, she was faced with an empty room and a floor full of dust.
Her delicate little face was filled with confusion.
"What about the aura of a high-level warrior that is filled with malice?”
In her confusion, she took her sword and went downstairs.
When she passed by the piano room, she realized that the lights were still on.
Pushing open the door and entering, Lorne was flipping through the piano score.
"Second Brother, why aren't you sleeping so late?”
Lorne pretended to be surprised and looked back up and down.
She was wearing a pure white nightdress, barefoot, and her blonde hair was messy.
"What's wrong?"
Facing Lorne's gaze, Lilia realized that something was wrong.
She pressed down on her nightgown in embarrassment." It's nothing. It's just that I couldn't sleep either, so I got up."
"Practicing?"
Lilia immediately accepted Lorne's offer.
"Yes, yes! I can't sleep, so I got up to practice."
She didn't want to tell Second Brother about the sudden situation she had just encountered.
He didn't want the other party to worry and be afraid.
Lorne did not expose him. Who would not wear shoes when training in the middle of the night?
The siblings sat down on the long soft chairs in front of the piano and chatted.
"Second brother, I might have to leave in two days.”
"Where to?"
"I'm going to visit Teacher Bach's mentor, Madam Cantecie.”
Lorne blinked."Teacher Bach left this afternoon to prepare for this?”
Lilia nodded." Yes, he's going to greet some friends first before bringing me out of the Imperial City, so that others won't be able to find him in the future.”
"Madam Cantecie? Have you heard Teacher Bach talk about her?" Lorne was suddenly a little curious about that woman. After all, she was the one who had personally taught a Battle-King.
However, after searching through the entire castle's books, he did not find any trace of this name in any book.
Lilia hesitated for a moment, then whispered,""It's said that Lady Candice travels the Roland Continent with another name-Scarlet Queen!”
Lorne's eyes lit up!
