"Is it necessary for them to lie?" the Ghost King asked the court advisor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, it's hard to say. The palace advisor hurriedly replied, "There are always guys with ulterior motives, maybe they just have some conspiracy." Your Majesty should know that Stiff Town, as a foothold, has never been an option for landers. It was too far away, and there was a ghost swamp to cross, and no lander would go there. ”

"Makes sense. The Ghost King nodded, "How do you prove that you are an island lander?"

Catherine didn't expect this court advisor to be so difficult, and she didn't know if she intended to target them both.

"Your Majesty, we decided to go to Stiff Town after accepting an invitation from Stiff Town. I wonder if a centaur zombie was passing by before? ”

"Invited?" said the Ghost King, after a moment's thought, "Indeed. If you don't invite them, no landers will take the initiative to go to Stiff Town. But without evidence, you still can't prove your identity. There are a lot of centaurs in Zombie Town, and who are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty. The court advisor suddenly whispered, then leaned into the ghost king's ear and whispered.

The Ghost King tapped his fingers as he listened. After a long moment, His Majesty raised his head and said, "Hardtown's Deputy Mayor Harder has indeed passed by the Ghost Swamp. But instead of coming to see me, he walked deeper into the swamp. Since you say that you were invited by him, go to him and prove it to me. ”

The Ghost King waved his hand, and the Ghost Soldiers vanished. "Court advisors, it's up to you to show them the way. After saying that, the figure of the ghost king gradually faded.

The court advisor stood bowed until his majesty was completely hidden, and then walked up to Catherine and the old dog with his chest puffed up.

"See?" he said, gesturing to somewhere in the swamp, where a dwarf cloud of green poison gas floated, "That's where Harder went. ”

The court advisor opened the book in his hand again and read it out silently. From the site of the altar, ghost soldiers began to emerge from the swamp one by one. The two are separated by more than ten meters, as if guarding a road.

"Along this ghost passage, you can go where Harder goes. The court advisor closed his book, "But I warn you that if you don't find Hader, no soldier will escort you back." ”

Catherine and the old dog then walked along the ghost passage towards the poisonous cloud. Every time they passed a ghost soldier, the soldier sank into the swamp. Without the guidance of the soldiers, they soon lost sight of where they had come. It seems that as the court advisor said, the only way to walk back to the altar is to find the centaur zombie Harder first.

"Could it be a trap, Overseer?" asked the old dog worriedly, "I always felt that the court advisor was not well-intentioned. ”

"We don't have a choice. "The female mage didn't know the hidden risks here, "The place where Harder went was definitely not easy, and I suspect they let us go to Harder for other purposes. ”

As Catherine said, when they came to the bottom of the poison cloud, they saw a pool of asphalt. There was a large cyan stone in the asphalt pool, and a red mushroom the size of a fist grew on the stone. Every few moments, the red mushroom splits through the middle, emitting a puff of green poisonous gas. The poison gas floats upwards, eventually forming a green poison cloud.

The centaur zombie stood on the edge of the asphalt pool, his arms folded and seemingly lost in thought. Even when Catherine and the old dog walked up behind him, they failed to alarm him.

"Overseer, this centaur zombie seems to be in trouble. "The old dog immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Catherine noticed something strange as well. She cautiously stepped forward and looked at the centaur zombies.

"It's petrified. The mage whispered, quickly stepping back.

It wasn't until she walked more than a dozen meters away that Catherine said, "It looks like I've been sprayed with a petrified potion." "If it weren't for the fact that the female mage had studied at the Alchemy Research Institute of the Royal Academy for a period of time, she might not have been able to figure out the situation for a while.

The Petrochemical Potion is one of the basic potions that every admitted student of the Alchemy Academy must refine. Catherine naturally also refined, which was used to solidify the building of the Alchemy Research Institute that was about to collapse.

"Do Overseers mean petrified potions that turn creatures directly to stone?" asked the old dog, following the mage.

"That's the kind of thing. Catherine nodded, "But petrification potions shouldn't be in this place. Maybe something else caused him to petrify. ”

"Could it be the mushroom? It's kind of weird. The old dog stretched out his paw and pointed to the mushroom on the big bluestone, "Maybe that thing did it." ”

"There's definitely something wrong with that mushroom. The female mage said categorically, "Not only is there a problem with the mushrooms, but the big bluestone and the asphalt pool are not normal. When have we ever seen a mushroom along the way? There was no vegetation, no living things, no stones or asphalt in this ghostly swamp. The memories of the goblin ghost describe a forbidden place deep in the ghost swamp. There was no return to this forbidden land, and he never dared to approach it. ”

"Then we're in the Forbidden Land. The old dog was a little uneasy and dug the wetland under his feet, "Why did this centaur zombie come to the forbidden place of the Ghost Swamp?

"Get him over first. Catherine thought for a moment and said, "If the petrification doesn't take too long, maybe there is a way to recover him." ”

The old dog's body began to atomize with blood, slowly melting into the ground. After a while, slender red tentacles appeared under the feet of the centaur zombie, entangled the legs and feet of the centaur zombie and dragged it backwards.

Catherine stared at the asphalt pool and the big bluestone. Just now, the mushroom spewed out a puff of poisonous gas again.

The old dog dragged back the centaur zombies. More accurately, it should be a centaur statue. Catherine tapped with her hand, and the sound of "da-da" was no different from knocking on a stone.

In fact, the effect of the petrochemical potion can only last for a certain period of time, and the length of time depends on the level of the preparer and the raw materials. Catherine doesn't remember the recipe for permanent petrification in human alchemy. In this way, the petrification of centaur zombies should also have a time limit, and it will return to normal after this time.

The old dog changed back to his zombie form from the state of blood mist. He circled around the centaur zombie and said, "Overseer, or bring him back like this." ”

"How do we get back?Where are the ghost soldiers?Where should we go without them?The ghost king has asked us to come here not just to find Hader. Otherwise, the soldiers would have come to meet us now. Catherine tried to lift the centaur zombie, and after the giant elephant descended, she now has the strength to easily move the "stone statue".
