[Congratulations on completing the side quest! Reward: Level up +5, plus Swordwood Gift: Swordwood Heart.]
Lin Yu leveled up 5 levels in one go. Feeling his increased strength after the upgrade, Lin Yu smiled.
Then, he looked at the other reward.
"Jian Muxin?"
Upon inspection, this thing, when placed on the forehead, grants the skill: [Chain Heart-Piercing Thrust], beginner level.
Lin Yu recalled that the skill Jianmu had used earlier was not exactly ordinary, but rather unremarkable.
Lin Yu has no intention of learning this skill.
However, regardless of the circumstances, this is a skill, and its value is definitely there.
I looked up at the manor gate in front of me, and the plaque on the gate. It was dilapidated and old, bearing the marks of time.
After the battle, Lin Yu's mana was almost completely depleted, thanks to his upgraded skill: [Hunting Technique], and the Heavenly Amethyst that increased his mana regeneration speed.
Therefore, Lin Yu did not need to rest and stepped directly into the manor.
"Now, let's start the main quest!" Lin Yu muttered to himself.
After entering the manor, Lin Yu thought about doing the main quest, but it was obviously not that simple.
A few gusts of cold wind blew by, bringing a chill to Lin Yu. Of course, this wasn't the only thing that made him feel cold.
"Crunch, crunch!"
As if sensing the arrival of guests, several humanoid skeletons walked towards them to greet the visitors, making a sickeningly loud sound with each step.
The method of greeting was simple: wielding a rusty iron sword, he swung it and struck. "Swish, swish, swish!"
Lin Yu dared not be careless and quickly retaliated.
These skeletons were clearly stronger than Jianmu, but they were no match for Lin Yu and were quickly killed.
However, before Lin Yu could even breathe a sigh of relief, countless skeletons began to swarm towards him from all corners of the manor, emitting sickeningly loud noises.
Although the scene was terrifying, Lin Yu was not afraid and went to meet it with his sword.
After a fierce battle, the skeletons, unsurprisingly, all perished.
Don't be fooled by how easily Lin Yu fought them. If it were a typical level 15 player, they would probably struggle to kill even a few, and would most likely be hacked to death by a bunch of skeletons.
Lin Yu's eyes flickered slightly as he fell into thought.
These skeletons are undoubtedly the dead, skilled with swords and adept at swordsmanship. They must have been members of the Ten Thousand Swords Manor in life.
"What caused them to become undead after they died?"
Lin Yu recalled that it was the bracelet that could create undead in the midnight theater that had produced a large number of undead.
And perhaps something similar exists here.
Perhaps it is related to the mysterious deaths of people in the villa.
Based on this alone, nothing could be deduced. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu began to explore the Wanjian Manor, searching for clues.
He pushed open the doors of each room and entered them.
Clues are naturally not so easy to find.
Lin Yu didn't get anything at first, until he pushed open a door that looked like a woman's boudoir, where a skeleton suddenly pounced on him.
This skeleton is petite with a prominent pelvis, clearly indicating that it was a woman in life.
"A pink skull," Lin Yu joked.
This skeleton is quite powerful, with a level of 20 and intermediate-level swordsmanship, demonstrating superb swordsmanship.
But after only a few rounds, he was killed by Lin Yu's sword.
Lin Yu then searched the boudoir and actually made a discovery.
A yellowed booklet.
Upon opening it, I discovered it was a diary.
After looking through the document, Lin Yufang learned that the pink skull was the daughter of Dugu Yong, the owner of the manor. She was 18 years old, a sword prodigy, and obsessed with practicing swordsmanship.
Most of the entries in his diary are about his sword practice experiences, with a few about his emotional entanglements.
For example, the eldest brother falls in love with her and confesses his feelings. She is in a dilemma, not wanting to hurt him, and doesn't know how to refuse him.
Her second senior brother also fell in love with her and confessed his feelings. She was in a dilemma, not wanting to hurt him, and really didn't know how to refuse him.
Her junior brother also had feelings for her and confessed his love to her. She was in a dilemma, not wanting to hurt him, and really didn't know how to refuse him.
She had someone she liked, her senior sister. She liked women, but after sleeping with her senior sister, she discovered that her senior sister was a man dressed as a woman. So, she went to the new Honkai.
Lin Yu couldn't even bear to imagine that scene.
As Lin Yu continued flipping through the pages, he discovered important information.
That damned Dongfang Xiu! He dressed up as a woman and deceived my feelings. I'm going to tell my father and have him teach him a lesson!
My father has been in seclusion recently and hasn't come out yet. Let's wait for him to come out.
My father came out of seclusion, but he changed after that. He became cruel and ruthless, often beating and scolding us, and occasionally killing people to vent his anger.
Why is this happening?
Could it be that something went wrong during his seclusion? Did he suffer a qi deviation?
"Seclusion? Or a qi deviation?" Lin Yu murmured.
These clues were not enough to deduce the truth. After pondering for a moment, Lin Yu left the room and went to the next one.
Lin Yu went to several more rooms and killed several skeletons, each one stronger than the last.
It is inferred that they are the so-called senior brothers, the second senior brother, and the senior sister who is dressed as a woman.
Unfortunately, no clues were found.
Until we entered the last room.
Lin Yu encountered a skeleton that posed a threat to him. Upon investigation, he discovered it was a level 29 monster with advanced swordsmanship and several intermediate skills.
