The first attempts at the power of faith made Donald feel the peculiarity of this power, and he studied the ancient books of the demigods more attentively.

Inevitably, Donald began to look forward to the cave where Claremont had told him about the discovery of the demigod book and the massive corpse of a tree man.

Claremont said he had discovered the ancient book then, but had found nothing else.

Donald believed his words, but that didn't mean there was nothing else in that place.

You must know that Claremont was an ordinary person when he discovered the demigod ancient book, and some special objects in the cave were not felt by Claremont at that time in Donald's opinion, such as the corpse of the tree man, if it was really a demigod, its corpse itself was an extremely valuable resource.

"This is where we are now, and where Claremont found the ancient book of the demigods...... Howling Forest. ”

Donald has a good memory, so he still remembers a conversation he had with Delia in his spare time in Demingham about some special places in the outback.

It is rumored that every night in the Howling Forest, there will be a strange cry in the depths of the woodland, some people say that they have seen evil monsters in it, and some people say that it is the spirit of the forest who is sad about the withering of the trees, there are always many legends, but the truth cannot be guaranteed.

"It took us almost a month to get here from Dmingham, and from here to the Wailing Forest, we had to go through Renas and then take the train...... No, the train line goes straight to the side of the Howling Forest, and there is no intermediate stop, what should I do?"

Stephanie sat beside Donald, her fingers slowly tracing the route map, the Wailing Forest was marked by a pair of teary eyes, and the black lines representing the train line passed past it, without any stops and platforms, leading directly to the next city, Bardock.

"It's normal, a place like the Howling Forest is inhabited in the first place, and normal people would get off there. ”

The Howling Forest is an unexplored area, and with all sorts of strange rumors surrounding it, the Lane Empire would not consider spending a lot of money to build a pointless platform there.

"It doesn't matter, just jump out of the car when the time comes, anyway, now we don't have any goods to bring with us by relying on the space ring, even the carriage can be put in. ”

According to Donald's idea, this place must be visited, no matter what method is used.

"Jumping Train..... You're making an understatement, and you're suggesting a method that sounds a little unreliable....."

Stephanie covered her face and leaned in front of the carriage like Donald, her eyes stayed on the backward trees next to her, the three horses in front of her were moving very steadily under Donald's control, and some obstacles along the way were also cleared early by mental power.

"We should be able to get to Renus by noon today, or don't we cook in the wilderness, and we go to the city to eat?"

Donald estimated the distance, glancing at the bottoming out dried fruit in a small plastic can beside him, which he had been counting when he left Delchimo.

"I'm okay, we don't have enough ingredients, and hunting in this weather is also a hassle...... You see, there seems to be someone up ahead. ”

Anthony on his horse alone has a wider vision than the others, and his eyesight itself is enhanced, often allowing him to see in the distance before he does.

"It seems that there are travelers like us, but they don't seem to have chosen to go to the city to eat, maybe they are a party that has just come out of Rainas City. ”

"Have you ever seen the smoke coming out of a fire cooking?"

Following Anthony's gaze, Donald saw that it was a billowing cloud of black smoke, and ordinary firewood naturally couldn't burn this effect, so he thought about it and said,

"Someone must be burning something, black smoke...... Nor is it like farmers burning straw to enrich the soil. ”

Stretching out his left palm, his spiritual power swept over the spatial ring, and a monocular immediately appeared in Donald's hand.

Leaning on the tool, Donald immediately saw the details over there.

A group of people are surrounding a tree that has been set on fire...... No, that's not a tree.

A man bound to the cross!

"They're burning people!"

Anthony spoke before Donald could tell the story, and then clamped his legs around the horse's belly and hastened forward.

"Burn people?"

It sounded a little awkward, and Stephanie didn't react for a while.

"It should be burned at the stake, but if I'm not mistaken, Renas is supposed to be a city in the secular district, and they are doing this?"

In some religious cultures, burning at the stake is used to deal with evil beings, such as vampires, ghouls, or dark wizards.

On the one hand, religious people generally believe that the flame has a natural suppression of these evil creatures and can prevent them from escaping in the middle of the torture, and on the other hand, there are also people who believe that burning at the stake can burn the body and soul at the same time, which can prevent the dark wizard from using some secret method to keep his soul and continue to harm others.

Because of the soul involved, burning at the stake is classified as a very harsh punishment in many places, and most death row inmates simply end their lives by hanging.

In the Lane Empire, most of the time the stake only occurs in religious areas, and it is very rare for non-religious areas to use burning, and even the former must be executed by people of high moral standing in the religion after deciding to burn at the stake, and ordinary people are not qualified to do so.

It is no wonder that Anthony reacted in this way near the city of Renas.

With a whip swing, the carriage sped up to keep up with Anthony.

It wasn't until he got closer to the fire in front of him that Donald really saw the people around the stake.

Gray uniform cotton uniforms, with rifles on their backs and swords at their waists that appear to be mass-produced, are supposed to be from the same force.

"Black goat?"

Stephanie's gaze rested on the epaulettes on the right shoulder of these men, embroidered on a brown background with a black goat's head, which was undoubtedly the emblem of their power.

"I don't remember a religion marked with a black goat's head, it's taboo...... What the hell are these people coming from?"

A significant percentage of demonic figures are half-human, half-sheep, so no religion would choose this image as a sect emblem.

Renus is a secular area, and the emblem of the Lane Empire is a roaring lion, which is obviously not in line with this black mountain.

There is only one possibility.

"Private armed!"

Anthony said in a deep voice.

The people on the stake had been burned to the ground, apparently for some time, and those in front had apparently noticed the approach of Donald and his party, and turned around to take precautions.

"Who?"

A man in a silver-gray helmet in the other side of the team stood up and asked.

"We were travelers passing through here to get ready to go to Renas. ”

"What about the evidence?"

"Do you still need proof?"

Anthony pointed to the rut marks in the field behind him, and then said,

"Whose men are you, and why do you use the stake at will? ”

Because he didn't know the details of the other party, Anthony also deliberately slowed down his tone, they didn't rush over to cause trouble.

"We are the guards of the Talos family, and there are no people at the stake at all...... The wanted warrant was taken. ”

The captain of the guard looked back at the team members beside him, and Donald took advantage of the moment to look back at Stephanie.

"The Talos family is the ruling family in Rainas City, and the Garcia family in Dmingham is the same thing, so it's best not to conflict with them, if you still want to resupply in Rainas. ”

A palm-sized notebook was taken out of the carriage, and after flipping through a few pages, Stephanie replied.

Stephanie had always been the team's intelligence gatherer, and although Anthony had taken on this role most of the time, she had recently been learning to take charge of herself, so Donald gave him the task of gathering information about the cities they would pass through in the future.

"Since you are going to enter Renas, put this wanted warrant, the man on it is the criminal we want, he is suspected of theft, desecration of corpses, and promotion of heresy, and if you find it, report it immediately, and there is a reward of 50 gold pounds. ”

The captain of the guard did not embarrass Donald and his party, held a wanted warrant in his hand, compared the faces of Donald and Anthony for a few seconds, and then stuffed it into the harness of the horse pulling the cart, and finally looked at the stake next to him before leaving.

"50 gold pounds, that's a lot...... This man can't have dug up the graves of the ancestors of the Talos family, right?"

Donald pulled out the wanted warrant between the harness and held it in his hand, just now the captain of the guard said that this prisoner is suspected of theft and desecration of corpses, this crime is at most a few years according to the law, and this wanted warrant actually offered a reward of 50 gold pounds to find him, obviously not an ordinary person.

"I don't look like a perverted corpse thief. ”

The wanted is a sketch of a man, with half-length hair combed back in a hairstyle, a monocle in his right eye, a chain hanging from the side of his face, a somewhat thin face, and two mustaches, which not only do not look like corpse thieves who will desecrate corpses, but rather look like a knowledgeable scholar.

"Donald! Look at the corpse!"

Stephanie suddenly grabbed Donald's arm and pointed to the burning stake next to him, which had become char and was struggling!

"The undead?"

Being able to withstand this fire and continue to move, all Donald could think of was this kind of existence, as if he suddenly realized something, and continued,

"So this man is a necromancer, no wonder his bounty is so high. ”

Corpse thieves and necromancers are two very different concepts.

"It's not an undead, it's strange......"

Lilo's voice came to Donald's mind at this time, and she didn't know when she had already emerged from the carriage.
