Wizard From Afar

First, the six victims—the first three were not locals from the villages and towns. They were mercenaries from the south and shoe vendors who had just moved to the villages and towns. vegetable. They were all ordinary persons who were unremarkable to the extreme, and no one noticed anything wrong even after they died for a few days.

The people killed afterwards will be much more interesting. The fourth incident was the eldest son of a wealthy businessman in Ancient Wood Town. If he can become a rich man in such a village, the rich businessman is naturally an offshoot of a certain nobleman, and he is quite pious. It was also after this accident that Father Anthony began to investigate this matter.

The fifth and sixth people were killed at the same time-one of them was the church apprentice priest. He seemed to be very young, and I am afraid he joined the church not long ago.

"As for the other, it is Father Anthony's nephew, and he is only one Junior." Draco's expression was quite embarrassed: "It is also because of this that Father Anthony's temper will become So bad, I hope you can understand him-Holy Cross Church's priest is not allowed to marry, and it is even more impossible to have offspring. The priest's affection for him is no different from that of his son."

"I understand." Loren nodded Although he confirmed the identities of the six corpses, there were still no clues at all. Except that all six people were bitten by ghoul and left only a few pieces of rotten flesh, there was nothing left.

In order to be safe, he also carefully checked the remaining bones. They were indeed torn by sharp claw and fangs. It is absolutely correct to say that they were killed by ghoul, but there was one problem.

"How do you tell who are these bones?" Loren's tone was a little confused: "All the corpses' heads and upper body are gone, how do you recognize their identities? "

"Huh?" Priest Draco was shocked with a sad expression, scratching his head as if in retrospect: "The first three people were only discovered after the accident of the rich businessman eldest son, so Basically they rely on the identification of the surrounding villagers, so no one knows the names of these three pitiful persons."

"As for the priest’s nephew and the trainee priest, the 2nd day they were killed almost took the entire Ancient Wood Town was alarmed. When the guards arrived there, they saw those ghouls still biting them..."

When it came to this, Priest Draco forbeared. With the urge to vomit, it took a long time to calm down: "But because of this, we figured out what the real culprit behind all this is."

"Where are those ghoul now "

"I don't know, but... since the accident of the priest's nephew, no one has seen those monsters again." Priest Draco shook the head: "Maybe they hid? "

Hidden? impossible. Although ghoul is not a bloodthirsty monster, their nature determines that they are impossible to endure hunger, which is an important reason why they eat rot.

"Is there a mass grave in Ancient Wood Town, or an ancient cemetery?"

"There is a tomb that has been abandoned for a long time, but why do you ask This?" The priest looked at him puzzledly: "Are the ghouls hiding there?"

"It is possible—no, it should be said that it is very possible." Loren replied very confidently. "Do you know where the tomb is? Just tell me a general direction. I can find it by myself."

Priest Draco looked a little hesitant, but soon, he was determined. Looking at Loren at each other: "No, let me take you there myself, if I can, I want to do my part to get rid of this group of ghoul, even if it's just an insignificant one."

...... ………… The abandoned tomb mentioned by the priest is located not far from Ancient Wood Town. There are still stone slabs that were originally laid around. Obviously it used to be the place where the local villagers buried the dead in the past, but it has been abandoned for a long time. , So that vines and weeds grew all around, and almost the entire entrance of the tomb was sealed.

But Loren still found something on the ground-from the entrance of the tomb to the floor outside, some footprints can be clearly seen extending from the cave. These footprints are a bit small in human terms, but they are more suitable for Ghoul's physique.

The most important thing is that judging from the number of footprints, it is definitely not one or two, but at least a whole group. Loren, who was squatting outside the cave, narrowed his eyes, and the number of these monsters was indeed beyond his expectations.

"How about it, did you find anything?" Priest Draco, who almost couldn't keep up with gasping for breath, couldn't help but ask, "Are those ghouls in this tomb?"

"You'd better go back first." Loren said to the priest behind him without looking back, "I'll leave it to me. Don't worry, I will go back to you as soon as I make progress."

"But, this...this is too dangerous!" Priest couldn't help but said, "If those ghouls are really in this tomb, then we should wait here for reinforcements! Or at least, The two should be together..."

"Believe me, I'll be enough. If there are others, it might be bad." While talking, Loren pulled out the Knight long sword from his back. "Go back, just wait for my news."

"Uh...well, if you insist." Priest Draco stopped arguing, but couldn't help but look back over and over again. Remind Loren: "You can come to me at any time. If I'm not here, then I will definitely arrange someone else. May the Holy Cross bless you forever, my friend!"

"Holy Cross bless you Me, hehe..." Loren laughed at the corner of his mouth, even if it was a certain "strange boy" he had ever met, it seemed much more reliable than this Holy Cross.

Loren carrying a long sword stepped into the dark tomb. The strong smell of corpse and blood almost assaults the senses, as if he was standing in the bloody mouth wide of a certain monster open like a sacrificial bowl

With a light snap of his fingers, the "Firefly Spell" exuding white light floated above him, illuminating only a short section of the road ahead, so that he would not lose his vision, and at the same time Will not disturb the monster in this cave.

Before he is fully prepared, he will never touch things that he doesn't want to touch at all, especially when he realizes that he may be facing a trap.

From the words Dalton Kander gave him this task, he felt a serious sense of disharmony from head to toe-the church that was hostile to the wizard, and the ghoul who attacked the living. The two things are mixed together, and it is really hard for him to believe that there is nothing hidden behind this incident.

Even if he didn’t, he would never face a group of strange monsters unprepared. It is still unfamiliar, and a careful and cautious attitude is always the prerequisite for life preservation.

The deeper the tomb, the stronger the smell of blood, which is obviously very abrupt in a long-abandoned tomb. Loren began to slow down, controlling to reduce the brightness of "Firefly Spell", allowing his eyes to gradually adapt to the darkness in the tomb, and at the same time reducing the probability that he would be discovered first.

Dark vision is one of the advantages of ghoul, this kind of scavenging monster, and their sense of hearing and smell are also very good, even if they are covered with mud all over their body, they can be spotted.

Cautiously stepped down, try not to step on the scattered bones on the ground-skull, ribs, arm bones...all are left, there are only piles of bone scum on the ground. The coffins on both sides of the tomb were also messy and completely destroyed.

If these still don’t explain the problem, the sound of the chewing of send cold shivers down one's spine becomes clearer and clearer in your ears...Loren stopped and stood cautiously on the spot and stretched out his right hand. I took out a wooden bottle that was neither too big nor too small and weighed it in my hand. The corner of my mouth was slightly curved with a proud arc.

How can I step into someone else’s trap without a little preparation?
