Chapter 722: Chapter 288 Successful Capture of Subject No. 15 [10,000 Words]_3

The earliest experimental data recorded was from January 1924, and the latest was from January 1927.

That is to say, experiments were conducted for a total of three years before, for some unknown reason, they were interrupted.

As for why it wasn’t that the experiment succeeded, the answer is simple because the last entry in the experiment log was about an experiment subject losing control.

"Hoo hoo hoo~~!" The sound of a howling wind came from outside the window as the snowstorm intensified.

Mu Rufeng looked towards the window, and it was only then that he realized the window wasn’t boarded up.

Approaching the window, he found it even colder there, with drafts seeping through the window’s crevices.

He gave the window a glance, finding it locked, which was a relief.

Outside was a blinding whiteness, and the window was covered by the snow, leaving Mu Rufeng unable to see anything outdoors.

"It’s a bit cold, but strange, there isn’t a fireplace on this level, nor do I see one in this room."

Mu Rufeng turned his head and looked at the wall directly in front of him.

This wall in the butler’s room downstairs was where the fireplace was, but here it had been replaced with a bookshelf filled with experimental logbooks.

Mu Rufeng pondered for a moment, walked over, placed his hands on the bookshelf, and with a light push, he lifted it.

He then moved the bookshelf to the other side.

An ornate fireplace came into view.

It was nearly identical to the one in the butler’s room, the only difference being there were no black ashes within, only a charred corpse.

[To ignite the fireplace, please insert soul banknotes. Every ten thousand soul banknotes can burn for one hour, or you can throw in a corpse, which can burn for a full day.]

Mu Rufeng immediately took out one million soul banknotes and tossed them into the fireplace.

At first, there was no reaction, but soon a wisp of black smoke slowly rose up, and eventually, the soul banknotes caught fire.

At the same time, changes began to appear on the body in the fireplace; the charred flesh instantly turned to black ash, then devoured the soul banknotes as the flames gently rose.

A warm aura slowly spread from the fireplace, reaching out into the room.

The previously frigid room warmed up in an instant.

[Congratulations to the Castle Owner, Dorgula Sen, for successfully lighting three fireplaces. Please continue your efforts. Once all fireplaces are lit, the Ancient Castle will undergo an unknown positive change.]

"Three fireplaces, huh? Has the Ancient Castle opened up to me now?"

Mu Rufeng thought there wasn’t much of value left here in the way of clues, so he directly opened the door and left the room.

However, what surprised Mu Rufeng was that the warm light did not spread out from the room; it seemed to be contained within, as if by limitation.

Outside was still cloaked in dense mist.

Mu Rufeng immediately went to the staircase and looked towards the fourth floor.

The entrance to the fourth floor was even more sinister, with the black aura several times denser than on the third floor.

It completely sealed off the stairwell, preventing Mu Rufeng from moving a step further.

It made him feel as though his status as the owner didn’t really afford him much advantage.

Moreover, the guidelines left by the butler had stated that he could go anywhere in the Ancient Castle once he had lit three fireplaces.

Right away, Mu Rufeng returned to the second floor.

However, he didn’t go back to his own room, but instead went directly down to the first floor.

Within the castle, he could now only explore the third floor, so he decided to check outside the castle, possibly uncovering some surprises waiting for him.

After getting to the first floor, Mu Rufeng glanced at the fireplace and noticed that it was burning even more vigorously.

"Eh? Why is the fire on the first floor burning so quickly? Does it burn faster at night?" Mu Rufeng was puzzled.

After a moment of thought, Mu Rufeng threw another two million soul banknotes into the fire.

He certainly didn’t want the fireplace going out.

He then made his way to the door.

The two doormen immediately began to slowly pull open the grand doors. freewebnoveℓ.com

A blast of cold air came through, causing the black mist around Mu Rufeng to flutter.

Almost instantly, the temperature inside the room dropped a notch.

Mu Rufeng didn’t mind, and quickly walked out, but then he seemed to remember something and went back inside.

To be on the safe side, Mu Rufeng dismantled the two suits of armor.

To his surprise, these two suits of armor were actually items.

[Ancient Knight’s Armor]: A suit of armor belonging to an Ancient Knight, including a helmet, breastplate, tassets, boots, and weapons.

Effect: Level 6 set item. When worn, it provides tremendous defensive and offensive capabilities, enhances one’s strength and Ghost Power, and can summon a Level 5 Skeleton Warhorse.

Note 1: When pieces are separated, they are Level 5 items; worn together, they become a Level 6 set.

Note 2: An item worn by the Castle Guardian, only the Castle Owner has the right to distribute.

These were two fine items, and Mu Rufeng, being the owner, simply decided to keep them for himself.

As for opening and closing the door, he could always just do it himself later—oh, wait, he could use the vines to do it.

Once outside, what surprised Mu Rufeng was that the snow had accumulated again in the courtyard.

Not a hint of green could be seen, just thick layers of snow.

"Clear the yard," Mu Rufeng commanded.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several vines shot up from the ground and, in a few quick moments, had cleared all the accumulated snow.

The green grass of the courtyard was once again visible.
