Chapter 639: Monsters in the Story
We don't know what it is!"
The four knights were invited into the hut by Ai Xiu, and by the way, they brought the 'moving corpse' inside.
"We were originally troops in the cities of the north, and we were also searching for suspicious people in the vicinity, and there have been hunters who have gone up the mountain these days to say that they have found some suspicious figures. The knights, who had just recovered from their fright, slowly talked about their experiences.
Troops in northern cities.
That is, those cities that have been regrouped, the north of the empire is very depressed now, and only big cities will have people, and the four knights are the troops over there.
As for what they said, I heard a report......
Even if you live in the city, you still live in the mountains to hunt, because the war has passed, not only the land where humans live, but also the animals are not very happy, so there is very little prey in the forests around the city, and all the people and mercenaries will of course choose to hunt in a farther place.
The situation was also reported by them, saying that when they were in the wild, they would always see some strange figures in the forest, and they were very fast, but they couldn't find them when they searched carefully.
You must know that this area was once a remnant of the war, and the residents of the town have long since moved away, so how can there be people.
This strange figure is not at ease if it is still fast.
"So Lord Earl asked us to come over and have a look, and I heard that the people from the imperial capital also received the same news, so they placed signal flares according to the request of the imperial army!"
Ai Xiu probably understood the origin of the other party, they were the troops of the nearest big city from here, and they also came to look for those living people!
"And what happened later?" asked Warren on the side.
"We went deep into the woodland, following the source's location, but we didn't find anything for a day or two...... Finally, tonight, I finally saw a dark shadow walking through the forest, we were originally six people, but I didn't expect the other party to be very fast in the night, kill one of us, and then run here. β
As he spoke, the man's eyes showed a look of fear.
Six people, now there are only four...... It shows that one died in the pursuit.
This is probably the reason why the black shadow was faster when I first saw the other party, but it came from behind.
"They won't die at all, look at that hand, I cut it off, but he can still move!"
The man pointed to the dead body next to the fire, which had been completely pierced by ice crystals.
Igonia's magic almost scattered the opponent's body, but the arm that had been broken still moved, and crawled towards the place of the living little by little!
Warren hurriedly stepped forward and knocked it down directly with his magic staff.
The rotting arm was connected to a little bit of flesh, most of it was bare phalanges, and it had been a long time.
There was no blood for a long time, and the bones were shattered by striking them as hard as if they had been frozen, and the pieces of flesh were scattered...... But what's even more weird is that the bone of the middle wrist is not broken, and there is still a middle finger attached, and it can still move the middle finger slowly.
"Damn, what the hell is this, won't it die?"
Seeing this scene, even the erudite Ai Xiu was shocked, he could still move after becoming like this.
In a fit of rage, Warren threw the bones of his wrist and middle finger directly into the fire in front of everyone......
"Look at you still can't move!"
The flames throbbed.
The fireworks instantly burned into a blue flame in the center, which looked very strange.
But the middle finger was finally unable to move under the scorching flames...... Slowly, as the blue fireworks returned to normal again, they became completely motionless.
"It seems that what they are afraid of is the flames. Ai Xiu said, rejoicing in his heart that he had just used fire magic.
A few of them actually looked around, and then threw the toes that were still moving in the bones, and the situation was the same, they didn't move after the burning.
"I see, it's a flame!"
"Where the hell did you encounter this monster, and did you have any of them?"
"It's in the forest two kilometers away from here, and we found only one of them, and we don't know what the situation is. Another man among the knights said.
Ai Xiu stood up and approached the broken pile of bones again, as long as the joints were still moving, and even the ribs that were no longer chest cavity were still heaving like breathing......
"It's weird, I've never seen this kind of magic. β
For a moment, Ai Xiu couldn't think of what it was, or what kind of magic could cause such an effect.
These are obviously dead corpses, but they can move like living people, and he especially looks for magic marks on skulls and other bones, whether it will be the masterpiece of alchemists, but after looking for a long time, there is no trace at all, it is completely a dead corpse.
"Mentor, do you know this?"
Shake oneβs head.
"I don't know yet, I've never seen this kind of magic, and it's not the product of an alchemist. Ai Xiu couldn't answer.
However, Igonia had an idea of these moving corpses......
"Did Lord Witch think of something?" said a knight suddenly.
Igonia was the only woman in the team who was beautiful enough, and some of the knights noticed her during the conversation in the middle, so the slightest change in expression was also seen.
"No, I don't know. β
Igonia didn't say anything, but in her heart she thought of something else.
It's the story.
To be precise, it's the stories Sean told himself...... It was also such a winter, and when he was still in the town of Telemien, he would often rely on the other party to tell him some unheard stories.
At that time, I even felt that I was about to become a baroness, so I was very attentive to the whole town, and even Sean's house was decorated according to his liking.
The nights in the town are boring, and Igonia often pesters Sean to tell the story.
Although I regretted why I wasn't bolder at the beginning, maybe the result would have been different.
It's just that I was really shy at that time, and the most activity in the evening was to listen to Sean tell those stories...... I didn't know that there would be so many stories in the other party's head.
This creature is mentioned in the story of one of the princes who turned into a dark knight and killed his father.
Undead.
Even the name Igonia remembers, and the creature in front of her is very much like the one in Sean's story.
Strange, it's just a story, has Sean seen it before, or has he heard it ever told about it?
"Nia, did you think of something?" Ai Xiu asked again.
"It's just a story......
