Chapter 394: Abandonment of the Monastery
Back in Mine Gold Town, several new members of the team are looking forward to it.
Facing the waiting eyes of several people, Thor had no intention of explaining anything.
He hadn't been in the wilderness for a long time, and if he told everyone that he had killed a ghost because he wanted to verify the way he was fighting, others might not believe it, and he would inevitably be suspected of boasting, so it was better to keep silent.
"I use a long sword, so the way I fight here is mainly based on my professional sword skills. Thor gave a rough mention of his skills to avoid encountering new inquiries after making a move on the way, and Randy's sister Funa is clearly an active shiitake mushroom.
"Then take the liberty of asking what is the attribute of your swordsmanship?" Sure enough, as soon as Thor's words fell, Funa began to entangle again.
There's nothing disgusted with Funa's active Thor either, after all, it's a matter linked to other people's lives, and it's normal for her to ask a few more questions. If it was her former self who stood in her position, she might have asked more.
And Funa's carefulness is also beneficial to herself, just like something like removing spirit powder, if she doesn't mention it, she may not know in time. Although I don't need to know it, it can be regarded as a complete part of understanding the current mainland information.
"Uh, this, mine is...... Dark attribute, yes, dark attribute. Thor thought about it and was a little vague, so he could only make up a sentence in passing, the name Rift in the Abyss is honestly a bit nondescript.
Who knows if it belongs to any magical attributes, and even doesn't know if it's a sword skill Thor, but it can only be used.
"Sister, it seems that this guy is very unreliable!" Funa leaned closer to Randy and muttered, as a keen thief-type shiitake mushroom, she felt that Thor had a lot of doubts, and she had to hesitate for a long time to even say the attributes of her usual sword skills.
Seeing that the crowd seemed to be caught up in a discussion, Thor waited quietly to give them another time to assess their risk. He didn't care if everyone broke up in the end, anyway, his original plan was to go on the road alone.
"If it's okay, let's go. After waiting for a while, there was no movement, Thor waved his hand, and everyone subconsciously followed.
"Wait, are we going like this?" "Just two steps away, it was still Funa, and suddenly another sentence came out.
The corners of Thor's eyes twitched twice, and he could only stop, this little shiitake mushroom seemed to be frantically testing around the Great Demon King!
"Do you want to ride in the carriage?" Thor smiled and looked back, wondering what opportunity to take to beat Funa's little ass.
"No, don't we light torches?"
"The light of the torch can keep ordinary ghosts from coming near us, and I remember that the first rule of the Soul Removal Code is to remember to stay where there is light at all times. Funa looked at Thor suspiciously, showing off the small bundle of torches she and her sister had prepared.
Torch Funa Shiitake seems to provide another piece of information to complete.
As for the code of exorcism? What's new?
However, lighting a torch in the dark wilderness is obviously contrary to the mainstream survival commandment that was previously tacitly accepted on the mainland.
"Neferna, is that the case?" Thor asked, pretending to think as he lowered his head and whispered.
"Perhaps, we gods can't study the necromancy for a long time, but it makes sense that these dark and evil monsters are photophobic, they have always been. Neferna replied uncertainly.
"Yes, we should have enough torches. There was a sudden echo from among the three men.
"Shut up, idiot, before I slap your face in your back. ”
The leading man smiled awkwardly at Thor and turned to curse at Nav behind him. The three men were Rook, Naf, and Balim, with Rook in the lead, and Naf who was pulling Saul's shirt that day and trying to rob him.
Thor looked down in thought for a moment and shook his head, deciding not to light any torches.
Two points, one is that lighting a torch is too conspicuous in the dark wilderness, and if you don't light a torch, just pay attention to dealing with ordinary necromancers.
The second is that Thor wants to use a few people as bait, as long as the necromancers don't pounce on them, they can break them one by one, and by the way, repair the soul to strengthen their own spiritual power, anyway, it's more convenient than going to the wilderness to chase in person.
"No need, just go. After saying that, Thor didn't wait for a few people, and turned around and walked into the wilderness alone.
Several people behind him looked at each other, and finally Luke gritted his teeth and led two of his subordinates to follow, and two adventurers Shiitake also followed.
After entering the wilderness, everyone was on guard as if they were facing a great enemy. Originally, Thor was walking in front, but as he walked, the five of them gathered tightly around Thor and at first glance thought that Thor was the one who was protected.
Only Thor is very laid-back, with the goddess Neferna in his arms, and any enemy can sense it in advance.
The three men of Luke, the slightest bit of trouble, were eager to get into Thor's arms.
These three second-order strong men obviously had too much moisture.
They are the same second-order as the two adventurers, Shiitake Mushroom, the difference is that the Randy sisters have traveled all the way, while Rook and they may have been in the town all day long busy looting, and their experience, hands-on ability, and the sisters are not at the same level at all.
The reason why the people set out in the morning was to reach Harret's territory within two days, so that they only needed to spend the night in the wilderness, which has always been the most dangerous part of the adventure.
After walking for a while, everyone realized that something was wrong, because they did not encounter any specific dangers.
Is this really a skinned wilderness, and why does a team of six come out with a sense of idleness?
"It looks like we had a lot of luck today. Facing the inquiring eyes of the five people, Thor waved his hand and pulled the egg, so as not to make it more troublesome to explain if he said too much, and he would also encounter the entanglement of the thief Shiitake Funa.
In fact, Thor was very bored, and he regretted that he had teamed up with the five of them. Because their dark constitution is still in play, even among the five, they have not been able to play the role of bait at all.
If it weren't for them, I would still be able to chase the ghost and tear it apart as I walked, but now in the team, it seems a little irresponsible to leave everyone in place and go wild alone, so this has obviously become a calm and boring journey.
Neferna in her arms would initially send a warning, but it ran away, it ran away again, and she didn't bother to say anything about it later.
This result is actually not too surprising, according to Neferna, the number of necromantic spirits in the wilderness is already scattered, and they have all been scared away by Thor in advance, so everyone just needs to be careful not to enter the rules of living beings.
In Thor's view, creatures, though powerful, seem to be a passive waiting type, like Twilight in the nameless town and the female vampire in the castle. If powerful creatures could run around with rules, it is estimated that the mainland would have fallen long ago.
But this is only for now, if in a few years, such as after the necromancers gather and some higher beings emerge......
What will happen to the mainland at that time, who knows?
As the journey progressed, it finally became clear to everyone that the reason why the journey was safe was because of Thor. Although the specific reason for this is unknown, and Thor did not admit it himself, the five of them all felt that Thor in the black coat was even more mysterious.
Once she was familiar with the rhythm of the journey, the thief Shiitake Funa activated her duck skills and began to chirp around Thor, trying to find out why the Great Demon King of Thor was such a mysterious man, which made Thor miserable.
A good thrilling adventure was turned into a wilderness outing by everyone.
It was almost time for dinner on the first day.
"There's a building?" Thor in the group muttered suddenly, and everyone asked where it was, but they turned around and saw nothing. It's just that in the confusion, no one notices that Saul is using interrogative sentences, not statements.
When everyone followed Thor to an abandoned monastery surrounded by an iron fence with arrow tops, Thor's mystery was instantly raised to a terrifying height. It's all a hundred steps of dark vision, right? There are such people on the continent of Salvinia?
However, everyone was sensible enough to shut up their curiosity, but they all wanted to get under Thor's wings.
This is the perceptual hint that Neferna gave to Thor not long ago.
Just waited for Thor to ask, but Neferna couldn't answer clearly, saying that she just saw it, but didn't know what it was.
In Thor's impression, the buildings that would appear in the wilderness were nothing more than the Gravekeeper's Cottage or the Ranger Hut, and he really couldn't think of any other buildings that dared to take root in the wilderness.
It wasn't until he got closer that Thor realized that he had guessed wrong.
It's an abandoned monastery, at least it seems.
The dark vision makes it impossible to see the outline of the entire building, but it still feels like a dark shadow, tall and vast in size. Of course, it may not be that big, but this is just a small residential building in the town.
Knee-high, low, iron-clad iron bars with twisted arrow-topped bars encircled the monastery. It seems that this monastery was first built with some effort, at least this layout is much more atmospheric than the one in Grey Curtain back then.
But the glory is all in the past, and everything will grow old with the years.
The rusted iron railings of the outer parapet are now covered with dry vines, and a corner of the monastery can be seen through the gaps between the iron bars.
Compared to the monastery in Grey Veil, the cemetery of Grey Veil Abbey is in the backyard, but this monastery cemetery is on the front, and some crooked crosses and tombstones can be seen faintly through the cracks in the iron bars, exuding an eerie and decaying atmosphere in the darkness.
It seems unusual to have such a monastery in the wilderness, which is obviously not in line with the current survival norms of the mainland.
And this monastery must have been built in the dark calendar, after all, the dark calendar has been more than 700 years, if this monastery was built in the light calendar, it must have been thousands of years old. Thousands of years of architectural ...... Thor wasn't sure if he would be able to escape the annihilation of time.
"Can you sense what's inside?" Thor whispered to Neferna.
"Like...... There's something in there. Neferna replied.
"What is it?" Thor raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know. Neferna replied.
Thor was lost in thought, he couldn't even perceive Neferna, it shouldn't be a living creature or a dead soul, what could it be?
"That...... Guys, I don't think we'd better go in, right?" Barlim, one of the three strong men, withdrew his gaze from between the cracks in the bar, and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat that didn't exist on his face.
