Chapter 39: Evil

"There's a discovery!"

Antorel's voice came from the hut on the other side, and before Ling Qi could respond, the traveling scholar had already rushed in impatiently. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

You Scholar's gaffe is understandable, but Ling Qi will not be so reckless, he is always vigilant.

Helping the wood elf to walk towards the source of the voice, at this time, the dazed-eyed Leo's eyes moved, revealing some brilliance.

"Squeak~"

"Click!"

There was the sound of the planks being pried open, followed by a cold rebuke from Antorel.

"Wait! Hurry down to die?!"

Supporting Leo, Ling Qi came to the door of the side room, and the scene inside was much better than he imagined.

This room is not large, and after entering the hall, it is close to the corner of the wall, and there is not even a window in it, it is like a storage room at all.

The wine cabinet erected on one side confirmed Ling Qi's thoughts, and the secret door that was pried open on the floor in the middle made his brows furrow even tighter.

Releasing the wood elf he was holding, Leo had already signaled that he was okay.

Ling Qi came to Antorell's side and looked down through the secret door.

The cellar was dim, and all I could smell was a pungent smell of musty dust.

However, the smell that permeated the whole house was the lightest here, which overturned the conjecture that there were corpses hidden underground.

So, where exactly does the stench come from, and what's down there?

Ling Qi no longer thought that the rancid stench in this house had anything to do with the bandits, people would not rot as soon as they died, and there was no need for robbers to hide their bodies.

When I think about it this way, I have more doubts.

Hula!

Antorell took out a fire fold out of nowhere, and when it was broken, it became a faint flame of fire.

Before this girl threw stones and asked for directions-

"Bump!"

There was a loud bang, and the whole house seemed to shake.

Nikolai was visibly taken aback, his body trembled, and it seemed that he was really nervous.

Ling Qi ran back to the hall in a few steps, and was stunned to find that it was Moti who was tearing down the door frame!

He was too tall and strong, and he wore armor, and he could get through the gate, but after passing the entrance, he was stuck at the second entrance.

Looking at the posture of the guy who was about to demolish the house, Ling Qi was suddenly embarrassed.

"Moti, don't smash it, go out and guard. ”

Ling Qi couldn't help but snort, and immediately drove this strong and inhuman giant out.

Just kidding, with his body, if he doesn't take off his armor, he has to tear down the house if he wants to come in.

He didn't want to be buried alive with bricks and wood later.

Ling Qi returned to the storage room, and everyone continued to explore.

The small episode did not affect Antoriel at all. I don't know what kind of cruel ordeal this girl has experienced, but the real one is that she has almost no mood swings!

Although Nikolai had been waiting anxiously, the girl listened carefully for a moment, until she was sure that there was no living thing in the cellar, and then she threw the fire into it, and by the sudden halo of light, the whole person swooped into the cellar, and then disappeared into the darkness!

Syllable!

The fire fell to the ground, and immediately illuminated half of the cellar, but it did not reflect Antorel's figure in the slightest!

Such an obvious behavior style made the three people outside the cellar frown.

The layout of the cellar is ordinary, and down the entrance is a steep old wooden staircase, which has begun to decay, making one doubt its usefulness.

Fortunately, the cellar is not deep, about two meters, and even Ling Qi does not care about this distance.

Except for Nikolai, who hurried down the stairs, the other two also learned from Netoriel, crouching down and falling into the cellar.

Looking at the surroundings, there are rows of gray-yellow wooden planks on top, neatly arranged. I don't know if it was a decoration nailed later, or if the first floor was simply paved with thick wood.

The four walls were made of solid dirt, and there were some gray cobwebs in the corners.

A large barrel sits horizontally in the right corner, the bottom of the barrel is facing the crowd, and in the center is a faucet, which is supposed to be a large container for storing wine.

Half-man-high barrels and bulging sacks were placed around, and there were quite a few of them, and it was not known what was inside.

There were also some cupboards and wooden boxes piled up on top of each other, like a hill, making this basement, which was not much smaller than the hall, seem crowded.

At this moment, the wood elf walked over to the fire that was about to be extinguished, picked it up, and tossed it lightly towards a certain position.

With a bang, a bright flame burned, but it was a chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Suddenly, the entire basement became bright, and even the corners were faintly visible.

Antorell walked out from behind a pile of debris, came to Ling Qi's side, and shook his head.

Although she didn't speak, Ling Qi understood what she meant.

There is nothing unusual about this hidden basement.

Walking to the edge of a wooden box at random, the wood elf pulled out a dagger, snorted the end handle into the gap between the lids, slashed horizontally, directly smashed the old iron lock, and then clicked the box open.

Piles of linen appeared in front of everyone's eyes, colorful, and all of them were finished fabrics.

Nikolai on the other side also took action, his movements were much rougher than those of the wood elves, the sacks were directly torn apart, the boxes were violently pushed down, and he was like crazy searching for something.

Only Ling Qi did not move, showing a great deal of trust in Antorel.

In fact, he also wants to find out if there are any mechanisms around, but he cares more about the consciousness of being a "captain" than finding out the so-called truth.

The inhabitants of this village are innocent, but even if they die, what does it have to do with him?

"Impossible!

As if he had been greatly stimulated, Nikolai, who had always seemed peaceful in the past, grabbed his hair like a madman, and kept breaking thoughts in his mouth.

"Rena!Rena!!Where are you!!!Where are you!!"

Walking up to the scholar, Ling Qi patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's go, go out and look for it again!"

Half-pulling and half-persuading, Nikolai was dragged out of the gloomy basement by Ling Qi.

At this time, Antorel, who was pacing the hall first, seemed to have noticed something, she stopped somewhere, her nose twitched, and then she squatted down and stabbed down!

Syllable!

The floor cracked, a stream of black and red juice squirted out, and the girl had already jumped far away!

The stench in the room suddenly became stronger, and the people who choked on the fishy smell wanted to gag.

Ling Qi looked at the dagger nailed to the ground in amazement, where there was a stream of black juice gushing out, and suddenly felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit!

An hour later, the crowd left the cottage.

As Antorell said first, all the people inside were dead.

Surprisingly, not all of these people were killed by the Black Bow Bandits, at least in the largest room, the drugged corpses in the floor compartment did not look like the robbers' handiwork!

The truth is unknown, only a book of unburned notes in a brazier, which records the unknown evil.

All the filth was burned by the fire, and Nikolai found the body of his favorite man in a grass hut.

However, as the only direct descendant of the owner of this village, how could she live in that kind of small grass hut that only poor people can stay in?

Last year, when he first met her, she was still the pearl of Attiman!

The number of villagers who were abused and killed by the robbers was obviously incorrect, and it is not known whether some of the others ran away or were also buried under a certain plank.

When everyone embarked on the journey again, everyone's mood was a little heavy.

A few Nords were indignant at the robbers' bestiality, the wood elves were worried about the approaching black bow, old Jack was afraid of Antoreel like a tiger, and Nikolai could not let go of his lover's death and his friend's depravity.

Could it be that power is really so important that a person who was once so righteous can be degraded to the ground?

Ling Qi was very interested in that half of the notebook, but unfortunately he didn't find it, and most of the traveling scholars would not allow another "friend" to be corrupted by the dark power.

Looking back at the smoke in the forest, I don't know if this fire will cause more trouble.

Ling Qi was suspicious, was it really a coincidence that the Black Bow Bandit Group found that place?

Traces of battle in the house, half of the unburned notebooks—

What does this mean?

Could it be fate!
