Chapter 327 Partridge's Wife! (3)
Since appearing in the ancestral home of the Andre family, Dolores has quietly pulled out countless strands of her hair. Fortunately, now that she has reached the entrance of the tunnel, she finally doesn't have to pull her hair anymore. Otherwise, Dolores feels that she is not sure whether she can survive, but she will definitely become a bald man.
Dolores, who understood her current situation, did not show any particular resistance to entering the tunnel. She was even very cooperative and entered the tunnel on her own initiative without Augustus pushing her.
However, after entering the tunnel, Dolores gradually slowed down.
At times like this, every extra second you gain is extremely precious to you.
And Augustus followed Dolores from beginning to end.
Augustus was very annoyed by Dolores's increasingly slow pace: "Walk faster."
"Who told you that there's not even a torch in your secret passage? It's so dark, how can I walk fast?" Dolores was quite aggressive and retorted immediately: "It's normal for an old family house to have a secret passage. Not only your Sage Family, but also the royal palace has one. Almost every noble family has this kind of thing."
"But, there has never been one as black as this. The rich can inlay a few magic stones, and the poor can poke a few torches."
"But your Andre family is in a bad condition. There is no light at all in the entire secret passage... Is this what the descendants of saints live like? Isn't their life a little too miserable?"
"I know that your Andre family has been living in a tight spot recently and has no money. I never thought that you couldn't even light a torch. It's really pitiful."
"However, I still have some private money. Can I lend you a few gold coins first?"
"Otherwise, as the descendant of a saint, we would lose all our dignity."
"You can bear it, but I can't."
"If the saints knew that their descendants were in such a miserable state, they would probably be so angry that they would open their coffins."
Dolores talked a lot, she even stopped and chattered to Augustus.
Hiss! Augustus couldn't help but take a deep breath. Why didn't he notice before that the princess was so mean and rude?
There's no way to humiliate someone like this. Although everyone knows that Andre's family is very poor, for the sake of the saints, basically no one would say it directly. But this princess not only said it directly, she even expressed her willingness to lend her a few gold coins. She is completely treating herself as a beggar.
In an instant, Augustus's urge to kill Dolores became stronger.
The tunnel in the Andre family's old house was not particularly deep or long, but under Dolores' constant provocation, it took nearly half an hour to walk this section of the road.
I don't know how much time has passed, but I finally reached the deepest part of the tunnel. The view in front of me suddenly became clear. Although Dolores' magic power was suppressed, the abilities of her body were not completely blocked. Seeing in the dark was still not a difficult task for Dolores.
Before Dolores had time to see the scene deep in the tunnel clearly, she felt an inexplicable fear in her heart and goose bumps appeared on her skin.
What Dolores perceived first was the sound that entered her ears rather than the image she saw with her eyes.
What a noise it was, as if there were a dozen different sounds mixed together, including the strange cry of a toad, the hissing like a poisonous snake, and the hoarse sound of rusty iron blocks rubbing together... and all the different sounds carried the same emotion, that is madness.
Crazy howling, crazy roaring.
Dolores couldn't find any words to describe that feeling. She only knew that the moment she heard that sound, her soul trembled violently, as if it was being pulled by something and wanted to dance freely to the tune of that crazy music.
Her breathing became rapid, even panting.
Her white teeth bit her lips hard to prevent herself from making any indescribable sounds along with those inexplicable screams.
Her eyes widened and she looked forward again. After a brief period of adjustment, Dolores finally saw clearly the deepest part of the tunnel. There was a huge and wide square. In the middle of the square was a mountain of things.
Like a huge rock.
But, no, it can even crawl slowly.
It also looked like a pile of rotten meat, emitting a disgusting stench.
More importantly, there were a dozen people... They were probably humans. They all had some human features, but most of them were weird in shape. Some looked like hairy baboons, some had only one eye on their heads, and their noses, ears and other organs had all degenerated. What's worse, some had more than one hands sticking out of their stomachs, grabbing randomly in the air.
These strange-looking creatures formed a circle with the huge mountain of flesh as the center. They all had their mouths wide open. The strange sound before came from the mouths of these weird creatures. At the same time, these dozen strange-looking humans were constantly twisting their bodies at will, dancing an indescribable dance.
Dolores had never seen such a strange way of dancing, and she didn't understand what it meant.
However, she instinctively felt an indescribable evil in this dance.
The feeling of tingling scalp and hairy body became more and more intense.
Augustus behind her was becoming more and more excited. Dolores could even hear a wheezing sound coming from his mouth. He seemed to be affected by the strange dance and the sound. His whole behavior became a little crazy. He even walked out from behind Dolores, with his eyes wide open, staring at the huge piece of meat in front of him with creepy admiration.
At this moment, the frequency and amplitude of the huge piece of meat's wriggling suddenly increased.
On the side of the lump of meat facing Augustus and Dolores, there was a long strip of area that suddenly bulged out, as if a large tumor had appeared on the lump of meat.
And then... the skin of the piece of meat was suddenly torn in the middle, the tumor burst, and a round eyeball the size of a washbasin suddenly emerged from it, moving flexibly up and down.
Suddenly, the focus was on Dolores.
Buzz! At that moment, Dolores seemed to hear a tsunami-like roar in her mind.
At the same time, a vague voice like the underworld began to echo in her ears:
“Save me…”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“I’m so sorry…”
"It's time to put an end to evil..."
It seemed to be the voice of a weak woman.
Dolores' ears were still buzzing. These three simple words made Dolores feel particularly difficult to digest.
Save me? Save whom? Is it the thing in front of me, being worshipped and sacrificed by a group of strange creatures?
Why did she ask for help? What was she regretting? What was that so-called sin? In an instant, many thoughts emerged in Dolores' mind, and her consciousness even became a little confused.
After the big eyeball appeared, Augustus in front of Dolores went even crazier. He didn't even notice that saliva was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth. With a plop, Augustus' legs softened and he knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the cold ground. He let out a sharp scream like those strange creatures: "Ah... Ancestor."
"I pray for your grace..."
Ancestor?
Augustus' voice was like a bolt of lightning striking Dolores' mind, causing her body to shake violently and she almost fell down.
What did this guy say, ancestor?
Who is the ancestor of the Andre family?
Saint Partridge!
Could this huge piece of flesh in front of him be Saint Partridge? Could it be that the saint didn't actually die a thousand years ago, but turned into this half-human, half-ghost appearance?
No, that's not the case.
Although Dolores had never seen the real Saint Patrick, she at least knew that he was a man with a wife and a son. But the voice she heard was clearly a woman's.
A woman, who was called an ancestor by August Andre...then the identity of the piece of meat in front of him...or the woman, was about to be revealed.
She is the wife of… Sage Partridge.
She is in pain and she is asking herself for help!
Dolores knew that she knew some shocking secret.
