Chapter 134: Mutwin Cell Creed Shadow Hunter: The Sands of Lonely Alloy Mordor (4)
The tide of corpses had passed, the sky was shrouded in darkness, and Mashathir was quiet and scary in the night, and from time to time there were screams, which made the girls squatting on the roof a little irritable.
"It's been so long since the carrier pigeon was released, why haven't they replied to the news yet. Yang's brows furrowed more and more, and the long wait to no avail made the girl begin to wonder if her sister had an accident.
"According to players who have just died offline, the Great Sanctuary area is still at war, only a small half of the Eastern Square has fallen, and players are fighting the zombies with the help of NPC bonuses. Anne looked up from the virtual screen and replied, "They didn't find any trace of the undead pirates, and the carrier pigeons don't seem to be able to fly anymore, and these little things will soon be killed if they fly together." ”
"Don't worry about the carrier pigeons, you said the undead pirates disappeared......" Yang frowned, and the anonymous paladin looked around at everyone with his hands on his hips, "It looks like we have to do something, these guys must have other plans." ”
"The town is so big, how can we find those vanished undead pirates without intelligence? An Lin asked.
This question directly knocked down Yang who wanted to do a big job, and the girl kept pacing trying to come up with a practical solution, but it was obvious that at this juncture, neither she nor other girls could think of a good idea.
"Zhiqiu thinks that they are holding a sacrifice ceremony in the square. Zhiqiu's child suddenly spoke.
Marceau's eyes widened immediately—sacrifice! Meow! How could this little cub think of this, really...... With Marceau's knowledge of his wife, it was really possible for these undead pirates to be performing a sacrificial ceremony.
Previous intelligence had stated that the area of the city wall was completely encased in venom...... It is likely that this is the demarcation of the area, and after the sacrificial ritual is completed, the town will be reduced to the dead, so that the spirits of the undead can walk during the day, regardless of whether they are strong or weak.
"Are there any lichs among these undead pirates?" Yang glanced at Anne.
"There are four mages and three warlocks on the 'Flying Henan People'......" Speaking of this, Marceau scratched his head at the people who were looking at him: "I have seen a screenshot of my mother's game group photo. There are also two guys in cloth clothes that I can't tell the profession, but I'm sure there are at least seven spellcasters. ”
Anne's hand swiped quickly across the virtual screen: "...... If, as Zhiqiu said, this sacrificial ritual would turn this town into a dead land. If living beings like us are still in it when the transformation is complete...... will be transformed into an undead, unless through a combination of will and tenacity. "Finish the analysis. Anne looked up at everyone, "According to the number left over from the first four openings, it took four hours from the beginning to the end of the Dead Sacrifice, and an hour and a half had passed since the undead besieged the Great Sanctuary. ”
"That means we're running out of time. Marceau sighed, knowing that his mother was causing trouble for him again, the kitten had no choice but to prevent the sacrifice from happening: "I'll go find the area where the sacrifice ceremony is located, and you go and inform the others." ”
"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, and you're the only one, even if you find that location. There's no way to let us know right away. An Lin immediately spoke out against the kitten's decision: "At least let Zhiqiu go with you." ”
"No, I need Zhiqiu to cover your entry into the Great Holy Hall to tell you about the evil things that may have happened. Marceau moved the quiver around his waist to his back: "Let the Ranger watch from the top of the Great Temple, and I will cast a fireworks signal when I find a place for the sacrificial ceremony...... Annie, give me the fireworks and maps you are carrying. The kitten held the bow in his left hand and reached out to Anne with his right hand.
Anne immediately took out the fireworks signal and map from her space bag, but she didn't put them directly in Marceau's palm: "Swear, you must not die." Seeing the uneasiness on Anne's face, Marceau silently pulled out the fireworks signal and map from the girl's hand.
"Don't be afraid. It's just a game. Marceau, who got up, looked at the girls who were sitting or standing and smiled indifferently, and then came to Zhiqiu to face it, and gave the order from the elder to the kitten cub in a stern tone: "Zhiqiu." Be sure to protect your sisters when they arrive at the Great Holy Church and tell everyone about the evil things that may happen. ”
The kitten cub blinked and nodded vigorously: "Brother Marceau, don't worry! Zhiqiu won't let her sisters go on a business trip!"
"Alright, let's go downstairs. ”。
In silence, everyone packed their gear and bags, removed the trap chairs on the stairs, and finally came to the living room on the first floor, where Marceau, who pushed the door open, walked out first, and raised a short bow and arrow to shoot his lone zombie headshot.
As Marceau retrieved the arrow, Jan walked up to him: "Marceau." Where do you think that ceremony will be? ”
"Didn't we talk about the aristocratic district when we were talking about hiding places before? The area with the small artificial lake had enough space for the sacrificial rites, and the other place with a venue was the small square at the other end of the aristocratic quarter. Marceau's mind had already identified two possible places for the sacrificial rite - the town was large. But the only place where a sacrificial ceremony can be laid out, apart from the above two locations, is the large square where the Great Church is located.
At this moment, the passionate drama of humans vs. zombies is being staged in the main square, so Marceau feels that if the place of the sacrifice ceremony is not the two locations in the noble district...... Where else could it be: "I'm afraid that the place of the sacrificial ceremony is not where I am considering." ”
"Marceau......" Anne, who suddenly walked over, stood on tiptoe and gave Marceau a faint kiss: "Believe in yourself, just like our sisters believe in you." ”
Looking at Anne in front of her, who was not as strong as before, but frowned and pouted with a serious face, Marceau's heart shrank for no reason, he lowered his head and wanted to leave a kiss on her forehead, but then thought of the promise of the Lin sisters and his vows, thought that Anne's future had nothing to do with him at all, and thought that one day Anne and Yang would leave him forever and start their own lives, Marceau began to straighten up again.
"Anne, I'm leaving. He smiled and nodded at the girl in front of him, turned around to leave but was dragged by his hand, and the kitten cub who turned his head mechanically noticed a trace of anger on the girl's face.
"Where's your giveaway? ”
She asked.
“…… Sorry forgot. ”
Marceau lowered her head, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and walked away without looking back.
Passing through the eaves, over the pool of blood, and finally turning the corner, the smile on Marceau's face faded, and he pulled out his long knife and cut off the zombie that pounced on him from top to bottom, turned around and split another approaching zombie in half, and finally shot the halfling ghoul's skull that flew at him.
Swinging the blood off the knife, Marceau, who had put the knife into the sheath, began to reload the Hidden Arrow, and lowered his head to let the cat cub bite his lip.
Anne, you are my best friend, the sweetness in my mind, the owner before the meal, and the ...... What do you want me to give in return? (To be continued)
