Master Tongtian

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Rosen felt a familiar tremor in his mind, and several streams of information quickly flashed through his mind.

"Successfully created a new spell: Mage Musket."

"Spell power rating: low-level and inferior."

"This spell has been successfully included in "Rosen's Spell Book" and can be activated and run at any time."

‘Hoo~~’

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense mind that had been tense all afternoon relaxed: "I guessed it right, that's great!"

A single low-level spell was certainly not enough to completely reverse the fate of the caged canary, but it gave him a fighting chance when facing life-threatening danger.

From now on, when I pretend to be smart and act a fool, I will have this confidence in my heart, so I don’t have to be nervous all the time and I can be more calm.

Feeling a little tired, he lay down on the carpet by the fire to rest.

About an hour later, familiar footsteps came from outside the door. The sound was not heavy, but it seemed a bit slow and weak.

‘Click~’

The door was gently pushed open, and after a few seconds, Rosen smelled a faint smell of blood in his nose, and he was slightly shocked.

'Are you hurt? ’

He lay on the ground motionless, eyes closed, pretending to sleep.

‘Click~’

The door closed again, and Lilith's gentle call came from the door: "Rosen~Rosen~"

Rosen did not respond, his body remained motionless, his breathing relaxed and slowed down, pretending to be asleep.

The cry stopped, and footsteps came, bypassing Rosen's feet and walking straight towards the bathroom behind the screen.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

‘Wow~Wow~~’

The sound of ladles scooping water came from behind the screen, and Lilith seemed to be washing her body.

At this moment, Rosen heard the footsteps again with his ears pressed against the floor. It was very, very soft. If his ears weren't pressed against the floor, he wouldn't have heard it at all.

‘Da~da~da~click! ’

The last sound was the sound of the door opening, coming from the next door, equally inaudible.

Rosen immediately turned his head slightly, opened his eyes, looked at the mirror on the opposite side of the wall, summoned the "Adventure Diary" attentively, and carefully observed the situation in the room opposite.

Because of the angle, he couldn't see the whole room at first, only some changes in light and shadow.

But soon, he saw Cyrus carrying a suitcase near the wooden table and placing the suitcase on the table.

Rosen clearly saw that he took out a palm-sized, flat, black metal box from his arms, and gently stroked the complex lines on the surface of the box. His movements were as gentle as stroking the skin of a lover.

Rosen also saw that his thin cheeks showed deep joy, and his gray eyes revealed an irrepressible fire.

After touching it for a while, he opened the bottom drawer of the suitcase, took out a few books inside, and then stuffed the black metal box into the bottom of the drawer.

Then he stuffed the books back one by one, leaving only one spell notebook outside, and finally locked the drawer.

After doing all this, Cyrus clapped his hands with satisfaction, took the spell notes, and began to study them carefully.

Judging from his calm and relaxed appearance, it was as if he had been staying in his room all afternoon.

Rosen still didn't know what happened, but it was certainly not good.

He didn't dare to look any further, so he closed his eyes and continued to lie on the floor and doze off.

After a while, the sound of water behind the screen disappeared, and the room became very quiet.

After a few seconds, a deliberately suppressed moan suddenly came from behind the screen, which seemed to be in great pain.

"What happened?"

Rosen was even more shocked, but he didn't dare to explore without permission.

The moaning continued for a while, then suddenly stopped, followed immediately by another 'dong' sound, as if something heavy hit the wooden board.

After that, there was no movement behind the screen, but the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

"What happened?"

Rosen gritted his teeth, got up from the floor, and shouted twice at the screen: "Miss Lilith? Miss Lilith? Are you in there?"

There was no response, and there was dead silence behind the screen.

Rosen gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward. At the same time, he held a painting knife for applying paint tightly in his hand.

One step, two steps, three steps... Finally bypassed the screen.

There is a bathtub behind the screen, and the bathtub is mostly filled with water. No, it should be a mixture of blood and water, and in the blood and water, there is a monster lying!

This monster has the same head as Lilith, but its skin is blue-black and covered with insect-like horny scales.

Its arms have transformed into two sharp knives, and the blades are covered with barbs. The body is like a human, but it is also covered with dense scales. It cannot be seen further down, covered by blood.

Although he had seen various monsters in movies in his previous life, Rosen still couldn't bear it when they actually appeared in front of him, and he had a strong urge to run away.

But in the end, he still didn't run, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't know where to run.

He suppressed the panic in his heart, picked up the brush beside the tub, used the brush handle to brush the monster's arm, and called softly.

"Miss Lilith? Miss Lilith? Is that you? Are you okay?"

After calling softly for a while, the monster moved, its drooped eyelids blinked slightly, and then opened a tiny gap.

There was a pair of human eyes in the gap, and their eyes were exactly the same as Lilith's, which comforted Rosen a little.

"ah!"

When Lilith saw Rosen, she screamed and immediately shrank into the blood. However, it seemed that she touched the wound by doing so, and she screamed in pain uncontrollably, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing the other party's performance, Rosen calmed down.

Although he looks like a monster, at least he has not lost his humanity and can make sense.

He asked softly: "Miss Lilith, is that you?"

"Get out! Get behind the screen!"

"Ah, don't look at me! Don't look at me! I'm ugly."

Lilith shouted urgently, waving her spiked arms full of barbs feebly.

Such a reaction made Rosen completely relieved.

He did not dare to overstimulate the other party and immediately retreated behind the screen: "Miss Lilith, what can I do for you?"

"No need to do anything! No need to say anything! Just stay there!"

"All right."

Rosen slowly retreated and lay down on the carpet by the fire.

Another voice came from behind the screen.

"You can continue to sleep. If you are hungry, go to the hall to find Jos, and he will prepare dinner for you. But remember, don't say anything related to me!"

"I remember, Miss Lilith."

When something like this happened, Rosen could still think about sleeping, but his stomach was indeed hungry, and he was growling, reminding him to quickly replenish food.

‘It’s really uneasy to be in the same room with such a monster, so I might as well go to the first floor to eat. ’

Thinking of this, Rosen jumped up and said, "Miss Lilith, I'm going to have something to eat on the first floor."

"Go ahead, but don't tell anyone about me, do you understand?!"

At the end of the sentence, the tone was extremely harsh.

Rosen said 'eagerly': "No, no, even if you kill me, I won't say anything. No matter what Miss Lilith becomes, she is still a good person, and I will never harm you."

"Are you a good person? Haha, idiot!" A low voice murmured from behind the screen.

Rosen didn't stay long and immediately left the room and trotted all the way to the lobby on the first floor.

"Jos, I'd like a side of potato stew and four meatloaf."

"No problem, just find an empty seat and sit down. It'll be there soon."

It was almost eight o'clock at night, and there were not many guests in the hall. They were all sitting sparsely, most of them drinking, and their eyes were very blurred.

On the contrary, the three nightingales in the corner looked very energetic and their eyes did not seem to blink.

Rosen found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

Soon, Jos served the food. Rosen was very hungry, so he stopped thinking about it and started to eat.

‘Clang! ’

The door of the hotel was pushed open, and the cold wind outside carried a few snowflakes and rushed in, causing several drinkers near the door to curse in a low voice.

Rosen was chewing wheat cakes. After hearing the noise, he subconsciously looked up to check.

He saw a man wearing a black bearskin cloak standing by the door. He had big eyes, a big nose, a big mouth, and a hedgehog-like beard.

She is not tall, probably just over 1.6 meters tall, but she is fat and strong, especially her big belly, which is bigger than that of a woman who is six or seven months pregnant.

Rosen sighed secretly: "What a big black bear~"

But then he discovered that the expressions of the three nightingales in the corner suddenly changed, and one of them even couldn't control himself and wanted to scream.

But she couldn't shout out in the end.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.

I saw the 'big black bear' suddenly taking a few big steps forward, spanning a distance of five or six meters as if teleporting, and came to the screaming nightingale. One hand was already on the other's neck. He forced the scream from his mouth back into his throat.

This series of movements seems slow but is actually fast, showing a dexterity that is completely inconsistent with the fat figure.

What's even more strange is that the movement was so small that no footsteps could be heard, so that the drinkers in the hall were not aware of it, and even Joss, who was concentrating on calculating accounts behind the counter, was not disturbed.

Except for Rosen, no one noticed anything unusual in the corner of the hall.

‘He is a master! ’

Rosen didn't dare to look directly, and immediately lowered his head to focus on eating the cake, observing only with the corner of his eye.

He saw that the short and fat man smiled slightly, and then moved his hands like lightning, gently pressing the sides of the necks of the three nightingales.

The three women fell back limply, but because there was a wall behind them and the three bodies supported each other, they did not fall down. They just sat against the wall as if they were asleep.

Rosen was shocked: ‘So cruel? Kill them all? ’

‘No, no, he’s not dead, he’s still breathing, he probably just fainted. ’

Rosen's spirit relaxed slightly, but there was still a throbbing in his heart, which was still beating hard.

After the 'Big Black Bear' knocked out three nightingales, he walked towards the counter and said with a smile: "Get a room, I want to stay."

"No problem." Joss smiled.

Soon, the short and fat man took the room key and walked slowly to the stairs, heading towards the second floor of the hotel.

In the hall, Rosen was still immersed in his meal, but there was a turmoil in his heart.

A thought occupied his mind: 'Nine times out of ten, it was Cyrus who stole other people's things, and now the owner is here! ’
