Chapter 429: Whose Trial (2)
The sudden appearance of werewolves made Jacques a little confused, were these werewolves part of the trial left by the owner of the ruins, or the werewolves who had followed the wolf king into the ruins before?
However, the corpses of the werewolves after death were bare, and there was nothing at all to prove their identity.
Letting go of their mental power to probe the surrounding situation was too physically demanding, so Jacques and Lily both put away their mental power after confirming that there was no more creature moving within a distance of more than two hundred meters.
The two simply sat directly on the ground and adjusted their state to rest.
After entering this trial environment, neither of them left the spawn point, and they consumed more than half of their physical strength and source energy storage.
It took more than ten minutes for the two of them to adjust their state slightly. Jacques summoned the war horse, turned over on the horse, and then stretched out his hand and smiled: "Beautiful lady, can you have the honor to take a ride and go on a spring outing......
Lily forced a smile and handed her right hand to Jacques, kicked her feet, and with the force of the big hand, she jumped off the ground and jumped on the horse's back, ready to straddle and sit behind Jacques.
As a result, Jacques came out of the air with his other hand, and immediately wrapped his arms around Lily's waist, and with a tug of it, he hugged her sideways. After kissing her on the cheek, Jacques laid Lily sideways in front of him, took her waist in one hand, and took the reins in the other, and set off on his horse, galloping towards the hut at the end of the wheat field.
"It's inconvenient to sit like this. Lily hugged Jacques and complained.
"It's okay, it's coming soon. Jacques said with a smile.
"Where?" Lily then remembered to ask Jacques.
The handsome face in front of him smiled Nunu mouth, "Just the wooden house in front, there must be a clue there, if I create this place of trial, I will definitely leave the clue in the most obvious place." ”
As they spoke, the two of them arrived in front of the hut, and there were no werewolves along the way, and it seemed that they had all been wiped out, at least in the vicinity.
Arriving at the hut, Jacques saw the corpse of a horse lying in the middle of the courtyard surrounded by three huts, and a huge laceration nearly severed the horse from the middle.
The internal organs sprayed on the ground, which was already slightly rotten and emitted an unpleasant smell, and the blood that had long since dried stained the ground purple and black.
Jacques hesitated, pulled a square scarf from the gap in his breastplate, folded it into a triangle, helped Lily cover her mouth and nose around her face, and then ripped off one of her sleeves and blocked it for herself.
The two dismounted, bypassed the carcass of the horse on the ground, and stepped forward to push open the door of the wooden house facing the courtyard gate.
As soon as the door opened, an even stronger rancid smell hit their faces, forcing the two of them to take a few steps back, and only then did they enter the room until the smell dissipated.
The room was dim, but by the light projected by the doorway, the two of them could see the source of the rancid smell, a disemboweled female corpse, and as expected, the entrails were missing.
Lily glanced at the female corpse and said, "This should be the subject of our trial." ”
Seeing that Jacques was a little dazed, Lily explained: "Her clothes are different from the clothes that have been popular in the empire for generations, and the clothes of the natives of the New World will not be so complicated, I have not been in the Kingdom of Light for a long time, but I have seen a dress in the store, which is somewhat similar to the style of clothing on her body." Let me venture to guess that this kind of costume may have been a popular style in some places before the War of the Gods, and only in a country like the Kingdom of Light, which has a long heritage, has similar costumes in circulation. ”
Jacques also immediately understood what Lily meant: this female corpse was specially left here by the owner of the ruins as a clue, so the purpose and task of the trial need to start from her.
Although the two suspected that the female corpse was a "prop", they still didn't want to directly "hands-on" rummage through the female corpse, the smell of corruption was too real.
At this time, the spiritual power that the two of them had worked hard to achieve meritorious service. The two of them used their "hands" together to search the female corpse up and down with their spiritual power. However, after rummaging through them, the two did not find anything useful from the female corpse, except for a few accessories.
Worried that the ornaments might be useful, Jacques put away a pair of silver earrings encrusted with gems, a quaint copper ring, and a jade bracelet.
The body did not provide enough information, and the two began to search the house.
One room was quickly inspected, and the two left the room to inspect the other two.
The room where Jacques examined appeared to be a young woman's room, which the owner had neatly cleaned up before leaving, and in the closet hung several women's clothes, the same style as the woman's, but in brighter colors.
After turning around and getting nothing, Jacques walked out the door and saw Lily also coming out of the opposite room with a roll in her hand. Guangxi
"Look, I think I've found a clue!" Lily held up her object from a distance.
When she arrived in front of Jacques, Lily brushed the roll in her hand and opened it, and when the cloth scroll-like thing was opened, it was densely written.
"This is the paper ...... of ancient times," Lily seemed to know the thing, and she continued, "I just read the beginning, and I don't know a lot of words, so let's take a look." ”
Jacques pinched the other end of the scroll, spread it out with Lily, and read the contents, although some words were not recognized, but guessing in context, the two of them were still able to read the contents of the scroll.
The scroll is a diary written by a boy, from which it can be known that the family's surname is Su, which is a typical ancient surname, and it also has the same surname in the Kingdom of Light.
The family consists of a family of four, parents, eldest daughter, and youngest son, who usually farm for a living and are self-sufficient.
The father and eldest daughter are transcendental, and it is unknown whether they are awakened or shaped, but Jacques guesses that they may just be awakened, and no matter what the world, shapeshifters do not need to farm to support their families.
One day, the youngest son went into the mountains to play, was attacked by a strange beast, and fled back with injuries.
The article spends a lot of space describing how he met the strange beast, which is thrilling and bizarre, and people have to admire that this boy who is still an ordinary person is so bold.
Seeing this, Jacques couldn't help but look up at the mountains in the distance, could it be that he really wanted to go up the mountain to find clues.
Then the boy's account is confused, with a bunch of incomprehensible words and expressions that don't match the preface.
It wasn't until the end of the text that the words and notes suddenly returned to normal, and he wrote:
"Suni is saying that things may be true! There really are monsters in my house!
Mother is dead, oh my God!
Why didn't it come at me?
Why does it kill the mother!
Who is writing on the wall: 'Run!'
It must still be around! The monster in the cave!
I can't take it anymore! I'm going to kill it!
I can't bother Suni and my father anymore, I'll go to its cave and wait for it......"
After reading the text, Lily looked up at Jacques and asked, "What do you think?"
Jacques replied, "Remember Gabriel El? He also wrote many of these neurotic words in his shorthand book.
I think the boy must have been attacked by a werewolf, and he was infected, and he attacked his mother while unconscious, and it was the one in the house, oh, and the horse over there should have been his masterpiece as well.
But when he woke up, he didn't know if he couldn't remember, or if he was so shocked that he didn't believe in the real memory at all, anyway, he attributed his mother's death to the strange beast that attacked him, and then he should have gone up the mountain to take revenge.
As for the two transcendents in this family, the father and daughter, most likely went to the mountains to chase him after learning that their son had left. ”
Jacques stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain peak in front of him, and said, "Follow the clues, there should be a follow-up plot there, and I don't know what this trial wants us to do, just follow it anyway." Finish it early, go find Fat Orange early!"
Lily agreed with Jacques's analysis, and the two got on their horses again, running towards the mountain ahead.
On the way, the two of them encountered three werewolves again, which were easily dealt with by Jacques's lance and Lily's lightning arrows, and it was not known whether these werewolves were sent by the wolf king to patrol or if they were part of this trial.
In this way, after several hours, the two finally came to the foot of the mountain.
