451 Chapter 451 Countess Irene’s Castle
Chapter 451 Countess Irene's Castle
From the letter, Lu Yu learned that there was a person named Irene. He wasn't sure if she was the owner of this castle at first, but he was confident after reading the letter.
"Once again, thank you for inviting me to your party. I'm very grateful..."
Apparently, a party was held in this castle. The owner of this castle invited a guest, and the blue gem was a gift from the guest.
This was why Lu Yu could tell that Countess Irene was the owner of this castle.
He knew what he had to do next. He needed to find Countess Irene's chamber, where the real treasure lies!
Lu Yu quickly walked out to the corridor. He scanned the surrounding rooms, but he did not see anything special.
"Did you guys find anything good?"
Lu Yu asked loudly.
"I found a huge machete with explosive attributes. It's much stronger than my spear!"
"I found some miscellaneous stuff here. They're ordinary." Xu Yuan answered defeatedly.
"I found some accessories..."
His teammates reported to him loudly, and Lu Yu felt more at ease. He was worried that there would suddenly be someone missing.
He walked down the corridor and checked room by room, hoping to find Countess Irene's room.
However, after walking around the second floor, he saw only ordinary rooms.
Thus, Lu Yu walked up a flight of stairs and arrived at the third floor.
After reaching the third floor, it was much more enclosed than the second floor. He could see a large door with golden edges and exquisite patterns through a wide corridor.
He revealed a smile, and it was obvious that he had found Countess Irene's room!
He quickly walked over to the door and found that it was locked.
Lu Yu didn't care and kicked it open!
After he walked in, he was shocked by the luxurious room.
The floor was made of marble tiles; a huge bath pool was on his left, and a luxurious bed was on his right. All the furniture was either inlaid with gold or gemstones!
"Just these pieces of furniture alone can probably be sold for a lot of money. "
Lu Yu muttered to himself and began searching the entire room as he collected many precious pieces of jewelry and treasures.
If these things were sold, they would definitely fetch a sky-high price, and Lu Yu wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of his life.
Although he didn't need much money now...
"It doesn't seem like there's any powerful equipment here..."
Lu Yu suddenly thought that if she had any special equipment, would it be possible that she was still wearing it?
But where could he find her?
When Lu Yu was about to leave, he suddenly saw a photo on the bedside table.
He picked it up and looked, noticing that the woman in the photo was wearing a light blue evening gown. She had pale blue wavy hair, a cute face, and a warm smile. The first impression she gave him was that she was an energetic young girl.
"Could this be that Countess Irene?"
Just as Lu Yu was thinking this, he saw the name on the back of the photo; it was indeed Irene.
Lu Yu put down the photo and returned to the corridor, planning to return to the first floor.
As he walked down the corridor, Lu Yu suddenly remembered that the position of the countess was only available in an empire.
For example, the Lionheart Empire had counts, dukes, and marquises.
Lu Yu couldn't help but assume that this place used to be an empire.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been called a countess.
He didn't know what it was like to be in an empire in ancient times.
Lu Yu went down the stairs and reached the second floor. Walking down the stairs, he suddenly saw something in front of him!
Above the huge chandelier, there was a coffin!
As the coffin was above the chandelier, it was completely blocked from their view, which was why they didn't see it when they came in!
Lu Yu's heart started racing. Could the person lying in this coffin be Countess Irene?
Lu Yu thought about it and decided to go down quickly and confirm it.
Thus, he hurriedly went down the stairs.
When he reached the first floor, he found that Xu Yuan and the others had already gathered, and in front of them was a pile of treasure.
"Lu Yu, you're finally here. I thought you were missing." Xu Yuan expressed his concern.
"I just found something; you guys, look up at the chandelier!"
The five others looked up at the crystal chandelier together.
"I don't see anything." Yun Zirou remarked.
Lu Yu looked at Han Xuefei. "There's a coffin on top of the chandelier. Go and take it down."
Han Xuefei's eyes widened as she was surprised that a coffin had been hanging above their heads since they came in. That was sure terrifying!
She quickly used her telekinesis and flew into the air. As expected, there was a coffin!
"There's indeed a coffin here!"
Han Xuefei exclaimed in shock. She removed the coffin from the chandelier and slowly landed on the ground.
Under the control of her telekinesis, the coffin landed on the ground intact.
The others quickly gathered around.
"Whoa, who could be in this coffin?" Wang Meng was so nervous that his forehead was covered in sweat.
"It's not good to open a person's coffin directly, is it?" Su Qing also started to worry.
"It's been so many years; why do you still care about that?"
Yun Zirou reached out and placed her hand on the coffin.
"Should I open it?" Yun Zirou looked at Lu Yu.
Lu Yu nodded, and Yun Zirou opened the coffin.
A chilling, cold breeze gushed as soon as the coffin was opened, making the six of them shiver.
Lu Yu took a closer look and saw a person lying in the coffin. However, to his surprise, the person showed no signs of decay—no different from a sleeping person!
Lu Yu was a little nervous. How was this possible?
The woman lying in the coffin looked familiar. It was Countess Irene, whom he had just seen in the photo!
She was the owner of this castle!
"She... she's Countess Irene, the owner of this place!"
Lu Yu exclaimed.
The other five were dumbfounded.
"Countess Irene? Who's that?"
"I just told you, the castle's owner. However, she should have died long ago, and it sure doesn't look like it."
Hearing that, the others began to feel nervous. They had barged into someone else's castle and lifted the lid of their coffin. It was true that this was somewhat inappropriate.
Lu Yu stretched out his hand and touched the surface of the corpse. As a result, his fingers were instantly frostbitten, and the flesh on his fingertips was frozen solid and stuck to the surface of the corpse.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and retracted his right hand.
"This temperature is frighteningly low!"
Xu Yuan quickly reached out to release a healing spell to heal the wound on Lu Yu's finger.
At that moment, Su Qing suddenly shouted in surprise, "Look, she's opening her eyes!
Lu Yu suddenly looked down and was shocked to find that the corpse had opened its eyes, staring at them!
"Damn it, how is this possible?"
A loud explosion rang out the next moment, and a cold current gushed out. In a short moment, it began to freeze their bodies. In a short while, Lu Yu could no longer control his feet, and their surroundings kept getting frozen!
