When I returned to the cemetery, I happened to meet Shogues, who came up to the ground to breathe.

Thor recounted the news he had gathered in town.

In fact, tonight's battle to defend the town did not usher in a final victory.

At first, the town's garrison was easy to fight, but in the second half of the battle, the battle became more difficult with the presence of skeleton mages and archers.

Until the skeleton leader with purple flames burning in his eyes appeared, the battle situation reached a tragic point in the blink of an eye.

There were gradually a lot of casualties on the side of the human camp, but watching the balance of victory tilt towards the enemy, most of them held their breath in their hearts, and everyone barely supported it to the end.

Later, at some point, the leader of the enemy suddenly took the lead and left the battlefield for some reason, and then the ordinary skeletons also withdrew, and the direction they withdrew was still the west where they came.

But what's on the west side of Grey Veil?

The only thing that comes to mind is the Yar Mine at the foot of the Grims Mountains, where two small mercenary groups are stationed to keep the pit in order, but the pit is separated from Grey Curtain by a large plain terrain.

So the question is, where did these enemies come from, where did they evacuate, and did they go back to sleep in their graves?

Everything seems to be mired in a mystery, hidden in the depths of darkness.

Seeing the enemy calmly retreat, no one dared to pursue, not even in the form of a team of adventurers, not even far behind the opponent.

It was incomparably dangerous to fight in the wilderness in the dark, not to mention the skeletal leader's nimble and powerful skills, as well as the strong self-consciousness of human intelligence, which left an extremely deep and terrifying impression on everyone involved in the defense of the town.

In the end, everyone could only vent their inner emotions through swearing and drinking, and cleaned up the battlefield stupidly.

It can be said that the results of the battle are similar to those of Thor and the others, except for a small number of disgusting rotting corpses, they have not killed anything all night.

"You said the skeleton leader...... It's the old liar in the barn...... Oh, the old man we met in the winter? Your mentor? Are you sure?"

With his usual acuity, Shogues grasped the point of Saul's topic with his usual acuity, and asked questions with a look of incredulity.

Thor nodded merrily.

"One right hand, one left leg, with a sword. The overlap of three coincidences is at least eighty percent more likely. ”

After listening to Saul's answer, Xiugus lowered his head and fell into a divergence of thoughts.

Thor had studied with the old man for three days, but Shugues himself didn't have much to do with the old man other than the initial encounter.

Later, Shogues heard Thor mention the old man's physical condition, and he also knew that the old man left the town at the last moment of his life and chose to bury his bones in the wilderness.

How long does it take for a person's body to decompose in the wilderness?

Oh, maybe he won't even have a chance to rot at all, I'm afraid he will be eaten by all kinds of beasts, insects, and birds.

Soon Shogues looked up in shock.

He suddenly realized that the point of the problem was not at all such a trivial matter as how long it would take for a corpse to decompose, but why a person suddenly became a walking monster after death, and the other party was barely half an acquaintance of his own.

It seems that there is a strong evil aura coming to the face.

"And what are you going to do?" It took a long time for Hughes to put aside his chaotic thoughts and recover from a series of mental shocks.

"No, maybe when I have enough strength one day, I will go deep into the wilderness myself, and then find him and kill him,...... Let him rest in peace. ”

Thor's gaze was deep, as if he had pierced the vast darkness through the parapet and into the depths of the wilderness.

——————

In the days that followed, strange rumors began to circulate in the town.

Some say that the land is sick and that the earth is gradually rotting.

Some people say that too many dead people are too attached to this world and are unwilling to die completely.

There have also been rehashes of the past, questioning the laissez-faire business practices of the Grey Curtain Town.

For a while, there were different opinions, and in the unstable atmosphere, a small number of timid people began to flee the doomed place of Gray Curtain Town one after another.

In the end, it was the town elder Elton who made a decisive move, and quietly sent mercenaries to unscrew off a few heads that had a lot of words, so that order was brought back on track, and all kinds of rumors gradually stopped.

Before dawn, there are still persistent skeletons crawling out of the ground in the monastery's graveyard, just watching them look like they only circle around their graves, and it is difficult to associate them with the powerful enemies that attacked that night.

Again, as long as the world is not destroyed, life must go on.

After Loton was injured that night, Saul sent Valle to deliver a message to Loton's home, and after a day of recuperation, Loton finally came to his senses.

In addition to being a little inconvenient to move, Lowton is recovering well, and he will come down to the bottom of the well from time to time to sit in the past few days. Every time Valle came over, he seemed a little inexplicably excited, as if he regarded this dry well as some secret base or something.

Although the location of this dry well is relatively hidden, everything at the bottom of the well is ordinary, and there is nothing really secret,...... Except, the potion refining tools stacked in the corner and the big bulging iron pot.

That's why Saul invited Lorton and Waylor today.

Originally, Thor was going to quietly sell a batch of potions with Shogues at the right time, but that night Lotton was suddenly injured, and after a panicked rescue, Thor mastered the matter of pharmacy was put to the fore.

Two more people know about it, which means that the matter of selling potions will become complicated, and it will also add some unstable factors.

So in the past two days, Thor has thought of a way, which is why the four of them got together in front of him.

Waller spread out the grilled chicken and steaks he had brought with him on the ground, and everyone was seated.

"Thank you for saving my life. Lorton raised his glass to Thor first.

"You don't deserve to die. Thor smiled and waved his hand, raising his glass and touching it with Lorton.

The atmosphere at the banquet was quite warm.

After a few pushes and toasts, Saul opened his mouth to get to the point.

"I worked as an apprentice at Bardymore's pharmacy last year, and I was lucky enough to learn how to make a rudimentary potion. ”

"As far as the current business environment in Gray Curtain Town is concerned, the pharmaceutical sector is temporarily blank in the short term, which is a good business opportunity. ”

"So I'm going to make a quick buck from making a batch of potions, so that I can prepare for the source of the offering money for me and Shuguth to leave the monastery. If you're interested, I think you could join in and do it. ”

As the words fell, Thor raised his glass to Lorton, his gaze quietly sweeping over their expressions.

Valle lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, Lorton's expression was calm, and he immediately went on to say after clinking glasses with Saul:

"What do we need to do?"

Lorton speaks of 'we' in his words, as if his decisions represent the will of two people, but this is not surprising given the level of loyalty of Waller's henchman.

"You don't have to do anything, Xiugus and I are responsible for the production of bulk potions and solving the sales problem, you only need to invest twenty silver coins per person for the collection of early potion materials, so as to increase the scale of production and expand the profits in the later stage. ”

"There's no problem on my side. Lorton smiled, with the family conditions behind him and Valler, twenty silver coins was not a lot of money.

Seeing Lorton's statement, Valer was stunned for a moment and then nodded quickly.

"Then, in terms of profit distribution, Shogues and I will each take 30%, and you and Valle ......"

Before Saul could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Waller, who stood up and pointed at Shogus and said:

"There is no problem with us providing funds, and there is no problem for you as the initiator and source of production to take 30%, but why should Xiugues take 10% more than us?"
