Early morning.
Alka washed up in the hotel room.
Eating the breakfast brought by the waiter.
There was also a newspaper next to it.
There is such a thing as a newspaper?
But the ship uses a wooden sailboat and an oil lamp.
What a strange world.
Alka flipped through it casually, mostly some things about the Blood Gold Alliance.
It has almost nothing to do with Alka.
He just came to the outside world and didn't even know what most of the information was about.
"The great pirate Prayer of the Dead is patrolling the sea with his team."
Great pirate? It was even published in the newspaper to warn others.
How powerful must this pirate be.
Alka shook his head, put the newspaper away and put it on the table, picked up the top hat on the coat hanger by the door and walked out.
Come to the street.
It was just one night later. Except for the wanted notice and roadblocks at the city gate, there were no patrols on the road, and it returned to normal.
It seems that he was not exposed.
Of course, he could not let his guard down.
Thinking of this, Alka could not help but touch the slight stubble on his upper lip.
He adjusted his hat and walked towards the place he had seen yesterday.
Bypassing several streets.
He came to a street with slightly fewer luxury stores and more daily necessities.
Here should be mostly local residents living in the city.
He went straight to a villa courtyard near the city wall.
The pedestrians around became a little sparse when they arrived here.
It seems that everyone would rather take a detour than pass through here.
Alka looked at the villa in front of him.
There are three floors in total, built with off-white stones, and there are small sculptures on the walls and roof for decoration.
Transparent windows are neatly located on the walls, but the curtains have been drawn inside.
A small courtyard surrounds the villa.
It looks very exquisite.
If you don't say it, no one knows that this villa has a haunted legend.
At this time, a notice was posted next to the outer gate.
It said that the villa was rented at a low price.
I noticed it when I passed by here yesterday.
I looked at it and walked towards the address.
It was less than 100 meters away.
It was also a villa courtyard.
Arka went over and pulled the iron door and shook it gently twice.
The door locks knocked against each other, making a crisp sound.
After a while.
A woman in home clothes came out.
Looking at Alka next to the iron gate, she walked over with a little doubt.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Alka adjusted his hat and nodded slightly.
Then he pointed to the villa not far away.
"Excuse me, is that villa yours? I want to rent it for a month."
Looking at the villa Alka pointed to, the woman's face visibly stiffened.
She opened her mouth and considered her words.
"Well... Sir, I wonder if you know the situation of that villa? That is..."
Alka smiled and tapped the floor with the civilized stick in his hand, interrupting the woman's words.
"Don't worry, ma'am, I certainly know about it, I just want to experience it."
As he said this, he took out the handkerchief from his left chest pocket, unfolded it and shook it in front of the young woman.
Then he waved it gently, and a rose appeared in his hand.
Put it on the top of the civilized staff, and when he let go, the flower seemed to grow on it.
Alka extended the civilized staff.
The series of simple and fast performances just now made the woman slightly hot and couldn't help but reach out to touch the rose.
Then the roses scattered and turned into petals of obviously redundant flowers, floating towards her body with the wind.
There was also a faint fragrance.
At this time, Alka smiled and said, "As you can see, I am a magician. I want to experience it in that villa. Maybe it can bring me different inspiration."
"You are really a gentleman, but your performance is really good. If you have the chance, please invite me."
"Of course, this is a beautiful city. I am planning to open a magic show here in a while."
Alka smiled and talked to the woman for a while.
He rented the haunted villa for a month at the price of two silver snakes.
Perhaps it was because of Alka's performance just now, and his slightly status-revealing conversation and clothes.
Or maybe it was because this haunted villa was really difficult to rent.
The woman waived his deposit with confidence.
After simply signing a contract.
She handed the key to Alka.
And let Alka go alone. Except for a little dust inside, everything else was good and could be used normally.
It seems that the villa really left a big shadow on the woman.
She didn't even want to go there.
Not long after.
Alka came to the door of the villa with the key.
Unlocked the door outside, pushed the door and walked in.
The few passers-by around saw Alka's actions and stared at him as if he had seen a ghost, and they all quickened their pace to flee.
Looking at Alka with such pity.
The residents not far away also saw that there was a new tenant in this haunted villa.
"How long can he last?"
"One night, I think at most one night, he doesn't look like a brave man."
"How about you, how long do you think he can last? After all, he came to you to rent."
"I think this gentleman is very powerful, he is also a magician, maybe he can hold on normally."
The woman who spoke was the one who rented the villa to Alka.
Next to her were the neighbors.
For someone who dared to enter the haunted villa, they showed the gossip they should have.
And they all placed bets on how long Alka could last in it.
At this time.
With a little trepidation in his heart, Alka inserted the key into the crack of the door, and then opened the door.
Since the curtains in the house were drawn, no one had entered the house for a while.
A faint dust floated out.
She picked up the lantern hanging on the door edge, twisted the hinge below, and lit the lantern.
She picked up the lantern and walked in.
There was a thin layer of dust on the floor.
First, she opened all the curtains by the window to let the sunlight in.
Soon the whole house became warm.
The living room and the dining room separated from the living room are inside.
The decoration is very simple and warm.
Except for a layer of light dust on it, it seems to have nothing to do with the haunted house.
Alka walked around the villa.
She opened all the curtains.
Then she picked up the cleaning tools prepared by the woman for her and began to clean up some dust.
She also made a more detailed observation of the whole villa.
See where the treasure is hidden.
It is also a process of obtaining information.
