Celestial Mage

Chapter 15 The Monster Behind the Screen
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Rosen felt a familiar tremor in his mind, and several streams of information flashed through his mind quickly.

"Successfully created a new spell: Mage Musket."

"Spell power rating: low-level inferior."

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

'Hu~~'

Rosen let out a deep breath, and his mind, which had been tense all afternoon, relaxed: "You guessed right, that's great!"

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

In the future, when pretending to be cute and acting a fool, I have this confidence in my heart, so I don't have to be trembling all the time, and I can be more calm.

A little tired, he lay down on the rug 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 little procrastinated.

'click~'

The door was gently pushed open, and after a few seconds, Rosen smelled a faint smell of blood, and his heart trembled slightly.

'Are you hurt? '

He lay motionless on the ground, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

'click~'

The door was closed again, and Lilith called softly from the door: "Lawson~Lawson~"

Rosen didn't respond, his body remained motionless, his breathing was light and slow, and he pretended to be asleep.

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

The smell of blood in the air became more and more intense.

'Wow~wow~~'

There was the sound of a spoon scooping water from behind the screen, and Lilith seemed to be washing her body.

At this moment, Rosen heard footsteps with his ears leaning against the floor, very, very softly, if his ears were not pressed against the floor, he would not have heard them at all.

'Da~da~da~click! '

The last sound was the sound of the door opening, which came from the next door, which was also inaudible.

Rosen immediately turned his head slightly, opened his eyes, looked at the mirror on the opposite side of the wall, and concentratingly summoned "Adventure Log" to carefully observe the situation in the opposite room.

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

But soon, he saw Cyrus appear near the wooden table with a suitcase and put 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 intricate lines on the box surface, as gently as touching a lover's skin.

Rosen also saw that there was a lot of joy on his thin cheeks, and there was an irrepressible fire in his gray eyes.

After groping like this for a while, he opened the bottom drawer of the luggage cabinet, first took out a few books inside, and then stuffed the black metal box into the bottom of the drawer.

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

After finishing all this, Cyrus clapped his hands contentedly, took the spell note, and began to study it seriously.

Seeing his calm and relaxed appearance, he seemed to have stayed in the room all afternoon.

Rosen still didn't know what happened, but it was definitely not a good thing.

He didn't dare to look more, 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 startled, but he didn't dare to investigate without authorization.

The groaning continued for a while, then stopped suddenly, followed by another 'gudong' sound, as if something heavy had hit the board.

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

"How did you do it?"

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

There was no response, and there was a 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 tub behind the screen, and the tub is half filled with water, no, it should be a mixture of blood and water, and in the blood, lies a monster!

This monster has the same head as Lilith, but its skin is blue-black, covered with horny scales that resemble insects.

His arms were mutated into two sharp knives, the blades were covered with barbs, and his body was human-like, but it was also covered with dense scales, which could not be seen further down, and were covered by blood.

Although he had seen all kinds of monsters in movies in his previous life, when they actually appeared in front of him, Rosen still couldn't bear it, and 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 go.

He suppressed the panic in his heart, picked up the brush next to the tub, plucked the monster's arm with the handle, and called out lightly.

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

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

There is a pair of human eyes in the gap, the eyes are exactly the same as Lilith's, which makes Rosen feel a little comforted.

"what!"

Seeing Rosen, Lilith screamed, and immediately shrank into the blood, but it seemed that she touched the wound, so she couldn't help crying out in pain, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

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

Although the appearance is a monster, at least he has not lost his humanity and can reason.

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

"Get out! Get behind the screen!"

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

Lilith shouted urgently, waving her barbed, spiked arms weakly.

Such a reaction completely relieved Rosen.

He didn't dare to stimulate the other party too much, and immediately retreated behind the screen: "Miss Lilith, what can I do for you?"

"Don't do anything! Don't say anything! Just stay there!"

"Ok."

Rosen slowly retreated to lie down on the rug by the fire.

There was another voice behind the screen.

"Go on to sleep. If you're hungry, find Jos in the lobby, and he'll prepare dinner for you. But remember, don't say anything about me!"

"I remember, Miss Lilith."

When such a thing happened, Rosen didn't even have the mood to sleep, but he was indeed hungry, and he groaned, reminding him to replenish food quickly.

'It's really unsettling to be in the same room with such a monster, so I just went to the first floor to eat. '

Thinking of this, Rosen got up straight: "Miss Lilith, I'm going to the first floor to have something to eat."

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

In the end, the tone was extremely harsh.

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

"Are you a good guy? Heh~ idiot!" A low voice came from behind the screen.

Rosen didn't stay any longer, and immediately left the room, trotting all the way to the lobby on the first floor.

"Jos, I'd like a ragout, and four muesli."

"No problem, just find an empty seat and sit down, it will be ready soon."

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

On the contrary, the three nightingales in the corner looked very energetic, without blinking their eyes.

Rosen found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

Soon, Joss brought the food, and Rosen was so hungry that he didn't think about it anymore, and began to concentrate on eating.

'Clang! '

The door of the hotel was pushed open, and the cold wind outside rushed in with a few flakes of snow, causing a few drinkers by the door to curse in a low voice.

Rosen was chewing oatmeal, and when he heard the movement, he subconsciously looked up.

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

He is not tall, maybe just over 1.6 meters, but he is fat and strong, especially the big belly, which is bigger than a woman who is six or seven months pregnant.

Luo Sen secretly sighed: "What a big black bear~"

But then he noticed that the expressions of the three nightingales in the corner suddenly changed drastically, and one of them couldn't help but screamed.

But she couldn't make it out in the end.

It's not that I don't want to, but I can't.

I saw that 'big black bear' suddenly took a few big steps forward, as if teleporting across a distance of five or six meters, and came to the screaming Nightingale, with one hand already on the opponent's neck, The scream from the corner of his mouth was forced back into his throat.

This series of movements seemed slow but fast, showing a dexterity that was completely incompatible with a fat body.

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 didn't notice it, and even Joss behind the counter, who was focused on settling accounts, was not disturbed.

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

'It's a master! '

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

He saw that the short and fat man smiled slightly, and then moved his hands like lightning, pressing lightly on the side of the necks of the three nightingales respectively.

The three women fell back softly, but because there was a wall behind them and the three supported each other, they didn't fall down. They just sat against the wall, as if they were asleep.

Rosen was shocked: 'So cruel?Kill them all? '

'No, no, not dead, still breathing, probably just passed out. '

Rosen's spirit was a little relaxed, but there was still a trace of throbbing in his heart, which was still beating violently.

After the 'Big Black Bear' stunned the three nightingales, he walked to the counter and said with a smile, "Open a room, I want to stay."

"No problem." Joss smiled.

Soon, the chunky man took the room key and walked slowly to the stairs, heading for the second floor of the hotel.

In the hall, Rosen still immersed himself in his meal, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

A thought occupied his mind: "Nine times out of ten, Cyrus stole things from others, and now the sufferer has come to the door!" '
