Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 39 The Haunted Villa
early morning.

Alka washed up in the hotel room.

Eating the breakfast served by the waiter.

There is also a newspaper next to it.

There is such a thing as a newspaper?
But the ships used wooden sailboats and oil lamps.

What a strange world.

Alka flipped through it casually, most of which were related to the Blood Gold Alliance.

Has little to do with Alka.

He just came to the outside world, and he didn't even know what most of the information was talking about.

"The great pirate, Prayer of the Dead, is cruising the sea with a team."

Big pirate?It is also specially published in newspapers to warn others.

How strong is this pirate.

Alka shook his head, put away the newspaper and put it on the table, picked up the top hat hanging by the door, and walked out.

Come to the street.

It was just one night, except for the arrest warrants and roadblocks that were posted at the gate of the city.

There are no more patrolling personnel on the road, and the usual situation has returned.

It seems that he is indeed not exposed.

Of course, don't let your guard down.

Thinking of this, Alka couldn't help touching the fine stubble on his upper lip.

He straightened his top hat and walked towards the place he had seen yesterday.

Go around a few streets.

Came to a street with slightly fewer luxury stores, more of which are related to daily necessities.

There should be mostly local residents living in the city.

Go straight to a small courtyard near the city wall.

The surrounding pedestrians became a little sparse as soon as they arrived here.

It seems that everyone would rather take a detour than go through this.

Alka looked at the villa in front of him.

There are three floors in total, made of off-white stones, with small decorative sculptures on the walls and roof.

The transparent windows are neatly placed on the wall, but the curtains have already been drawn inside.

A small yard surrounds the villa.

It looks very beautiful.

No one will know that the villa has a haunted legend if it is not told.

At this time, a notice was posted next to the outer gate.

What is written on it is that the villa is rented out at a low price.

I noticed it when I was passing by yesterday.

After looking at it, he walked in the direction of this address.

It's less than 100 meters from here.

It is also a villa courtyard.

Alka went over to pull the iron door, and shook it lightly twice.

The door locks knocked against each other, making a crisp sound.

Soon.

A woman in house dress came out.

Looking at Alka next to the iron gate, he walked over with some doubts.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

Alka straightened his top 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 stiffened visibly to the naked eye.

He opened his mouth and considered his words.

"Well... this gentleman, I don't know if you know the situation of that villa? It's just..."

Alka smiled and tapped the floor with the staff of civilization in his hand, interrupting the woman's words.

"Don't worry, ma'am, of course I have learned about it, I just want to experience it."

As he spoke, he took out the handkerchief in his left breast pocket, unfolded it and waved it in front of the young woman.

Then with a light wave, a rose appeared in his hand.

Put it on the head of the civilized stick, when you let go of your hand, the flowers 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 hot and couldn't help but reach out and touch the rose.

Then the roses scattered and turned into petals of obviously redundant flowers, which floated towards her body along the wind.

There is also a slight fragrance.

Only then did Alka smile, and said with a smile: "As you can see, I am a magician, and I want to experience it in that villa. Maybe it will bring me different inspirations."

"You are really a gentleman, but your performance is indeed very good. If you have the opportunity, please invite me."

"Of course, this is a beautiful city, and I'm planning to open a magic show here sometime soon."

Arka laughed and talked with the woman for a while.

He rented this haunted villa for a month at the price of two silver snakes.

Perhaps it was because of Arka's performance just now, as well as her slightly status-defining conversation and attire.

Or maybe this haunted villa is really hard to rent out.

The woman was relieved to waive his deposit.

After simply signing a contract.

She handed the key to Alka.

And let Alka go alone, except for a little dust inside, other things are good and can be used normally.

From the looks of it, that villa did cast a shadow over 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.

He unlocked the door outside, opened it and walked in.

The few passers-by around saw Alka's movements and stared at him as if he had seen a ghost, and all hurried away.

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 at most one night, he doesn't look like a brave man."

"What 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 persist normally."

The woman who spoke was the one who rented the villa to Arka.

Next to her are the surrounding neighbors.

For a man brave enough to enter a haunted mansion, they showed what gossip was due.

And they bet one after another, betting how long Alka can last inside.

at this time.

Alka inserted the key into the crack of the door with a trace of apprehension in his heart, and then opened the door.

Since the curtains in the house were all drawn, no one had been in the house for some time.

A faint cloud of dust drifted out.

Lift the lantern hanging on the edge of the door, twist the hinge below, and light the lantern.

He lifted the lantern and went in.

There was also a thin layer of dust on the floor.

First, open all the curtains by the window to let the sunlight in.

After a while the whole house warmed up.

Entering is the living room and the dining room which is separated from the living room.

The decoration is very simple and warm.

Except for a light layer of dust attached to it, it seems to have nothing to do with a haunted house.

Arka walked around the villa.

Draw all the curtains all the way.

Then she picked up the cleaning tool the woman had prepared for her, and began to sweep away some dust.

By the way, make a more detailed observation of the entire villa.

Find out where that treasure is hidden.

It is also the process of obtaining information.
