Chapter 39: The Haunted Villa(1/2)
early morning.
Alka took a shower in the hotel room.
Eating breakfast served by the waiter.
There is also a newspaper attached next to it.
There is such a thing as a newspaper?
But the ships used wooden sailing boats and oil lamps.
It's really a strange world.
Alka flipped through it casually, most of them were about things related to the Blood Gold Alliance.
It has almost nothing to do with Alka.
He had just come to the outside world and didn't even know what most of the information was saying.
"The big pirate prays for the dead and is cruising the sea with his team."
The great pirate? He even appeared in newspapers to warn others.
How strong is this pirate?
Alka shook his head, put the newspaper away on the table, picked up the top hat hanging on the clothes hanger by the door, and walked out.
Come to the street.
After just one night, in addition to the wanted poster posted at the city gate, roadblocks were set up.
There are no patrols on the road anymore, and the situation has returned to normal.
It seems that he was indeed not exposed.
Of course, you can't let your guard down.
Thinking of this, Alka couldn't help but touch the slight stubble on his upper lip.
Holding on to his hat, he walked towards the place he had seen yesterday.
Go around a few streets.
We came to a street with slightly fewer luxury stores and more related to daily necessities.
Most of the people here should be local residents of the city.
We went straight to a small villa courtyard near the city wall.
The pedestrians around here became a little sparse as soon as they arrived here.
It seems that everyone is willing to take a detour instead of passing through this place.
Alka looked at the villa in front of her.
There are three floors in total, made of off-white stones, with small decorative sculptures on the walls and roof.
Transparent windows are neatly located on the wall, but the curtains have already been drawn inside.
A small courtyard surrounds the villa.
It looks very exquisite.
If you don't tell anyone, no one will know that this villa is haunted.
At this time, a notice was posted next to the outer gate.
What it says on it is that the villa is available for rent at a low price.
I noticed it when I passed by here yesterday.
After looking at it, I walked in the direction of this address.
It's less than 100 meters away from here.
It is also a small villa.
Alka went over and pulled the iron door open, shaking it slightly twice.
The door locks knocked against each other, making a crisp sound.
Soon.
A woman wearing home clothes came out.
Looking at Alka by the iron gate, he walked over with a little doubt.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
Alka held up his hat and nodded slightly.
Then he pointed to the villa not far away.
"Does that villa belong to you? I want to rent it for a month."
Looking at the villa that Alka pointed to, the woman's face visibly stiffened.
He opened his mouth and considered his words.
"Well... Sir, do you know the situation of that villa? That's it..."
Alka smiled and tapped the floor with the civilized staff in his hand, interrupting the woman's words.
"Don't worry, madam, of course I have understood it, I just want to experience it."
With that said, he took out the handkerchief from his left breast pocket, unfolded it and waved it in front of the young woman.
Then he waved gently, and a rose appeared in his hand.
Place it on the head of the stick of civilization. When you release your hand, the flower will seem to grow on it.
Alka stretched out the staff of civilization.
The series of simple and fast performances just now made the woman feel slightly warm and couldn't help but reach out and touch the rose.
Then the roses scattered and turned into obviously superfluous petals, which floated towards her body in the wind.
There is also a slight fragrance.
At this time, Alka smiled and said with a smile: "As you can see, I am a magician. I want to experience it in that villa. Maybe it can bring me different inspirations."
"You are such a gentleman, but your performance is indeed very good. If you have a chance, please invite me."
"Of course, this is a beautiful city, and I am planning to open a magic show here in the near future."
Alka smiled and talked to the woman for a while.
So he rented this haunted villa for a month for the price of two silver snakes.
Maybe it's because of Alka's performance just now and her conversation and clothes that reveal her identity.
Or maybe this haunted villa is really difficult to rent.
The woman was relieved and waived his deposit.
After simply signing a contract.
She handed the key to Alka.
And let Alka go alone. Except for a little dust, everything else inside is good and can be used normally.
Apparently, that villa really left a big shadow on this woman.
She didn't even want to go there.
It didn't take long.
Alka took the key and came to the door of the villa.
Unlocking the outer door, opened the door and walked in.
The few passers-by around saw Alka's movements and stared at him as if he had seen a ghost, and they all sped up and fled.
The look in Alka's eyes was so pitiful.
Residents not far away also saw that the haunted villa had a new tenant.
"How long can he last?"
"One night, I think one night at most, he doesn't look like a brave person."
"What about you, how long do you think he can hold on? After all, he came to rent it from you."
"I think this gentleman is very powerful. He is also a magician. Maybe he can persevere normally."
The woman who spoke was the one who rented the villa to Alka.
Next to her are the surrounding neighbors.
For someone brave enough to enter a haunted villa, they show off their fair share of gossip.
They all placed bets on how long Alka could last inside.
at this time.
