"Haunted building?"

Athena bit her lower lip and looked back in surprise at the departure of the children, Lin An frowned slightly, Angelia seemed to have heard nothing, and hurriedly walked to the fence that was nearly one person high.

The fence is tied between the crevices with only a bent dead branch, and when the branches are removed, the scenery after the fence is crooked and the scenery is even more barren.

The weeds are littered with dead branches and leaves, the outer wall of the small building is dotted with white marks, I don't know whether it is mottled by rain or bird droppings, the door is kicked by someone to reveal a big hole, the window is like an empty mouth, even the wooden frame of the window lattice has disappeared, and with a flutter, a wild cat with discolored fur jumps out of it and sprang away.

Angelia opened her mouth, seeing this desolate situation, she could no longer deceive herself that her family still lived here.

"Excuse me, anyone?"

At the window of another small building next door, there was a peeping sight that flashed, Lin An walked outside the fence and pulled a metal bell hanging on the fence, and the sight at the window disappeared in a flash.

"The Eye of Perspective."

Lin An "saw" that the person who stayed in the small building next door was a half-old boy who was a few years older than the previous children, seeing that his nervous expression obviously did not respond to the idea, Lin An frowned, did not force it, and walked back.

"Sister Angelia, has your home been moved?"

As soon as I walked back, I heard Athena's crisp voice.

The door had been easily opened by Angelia, and as she walked out of the house, Lin An looked behind her and saw the empty dusty room.

The furniture was taken away. Only a few of the rotten lattice, chair legs, and the like were left on the ground, and Angelia's footsteps left a clear mark on the dusty floor.

Angelia looked stunned, it was not easy for her to make up her mind to come back and take a look, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment when she saw this scene, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"Looking at the desolate appearance of this yard, it should have been a few years since it was moved, so let's go and ask nearby. Angelia. ”

Lin An didn't take those children's words to heart, she didn't feel any negative energy gathering nearby, and took 10,000 steps back and said that there are really undead here, and it is the other party who should be afraid.

However, a small building that was originally inhabited suddenly became a "ghost building" in the mouths of nearby residents, and Lin Anxin was a little ominous.

In view of the reaction of the neighbor's child next to them, they did not directly knock on the door of the nearby small building, Lin An simply made a divination.

Three dead branches of the silver bellflower were taken and thrown to the ground, two of which pointed to the southeast, and the results of the divination showed that this direction was beneficial to their purpose. The third root crosses the second root, indicating that the target is a woman.

“…… Haunted House, oh. You're asking about the small yellow building on the south bank of the river downstream. The building whose window lattices have been torn down -- well, who are you? Why do you ask about that building? ”

Lin An took Angelia and Athena to a nearby grocery store, the fat proprietress was sitting under the stone steps sifting wheat bran, she was the first woman they saw, when Lin An asked, she subconsciously replied with a smile, and when she realized the target of their inquiry. Immediately changed color, and looked at them with some wariness.

Within the Holy Empire, magicians are regarded as heretics and never appear in the open, although the Holy Emperor Kingdom is only a subordinate kingdom. There is also a station of the Holy See.

In order to avoid trouble, Lin An had already made a few accessories that were constant with the disguise technique after entering the country. At this time, she was wearing a disguised necklace around her neck, disguised into a freckled girl with millet hair, similar to the disguise she had when she first entered the magic capital a few years ago, in the eyes of outsiders, she was an ordinary female mercenary, similar to Angelia, Athena also looked like a trainee mercenary, took off her puffy skirt and put on a small leather armor, with a short sword around her waist.

The identity of the mercenary is obviously a certain deterrent among civilians, but it is also seen from time to time in this town rich in ale.

The grocery store proprietress looked at her twice, with the apprehension of civilians facing the mercenaries on her face, Lin An could feel her wariness and uneasiness, obviously she wanted to drive them away, but it was taken by their identities.

"What happened to the original owner of that building, you name it, and this silver coin is yours."

Angelia coldly threw a silver coin onto the table, she suppressed the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart, dealing with ordinary people, she was more familiar with it than Lin An.

The sound of the silver coin falling was crisp, and the grocery store proprietress hurriedly grabbed it, sighed, and put it into the inner pocket of her apron, her joy flashed, and she stretched her neck to look around, and then lowered her voice and said hastily:

"You can find the right person, if you go outside to inquire, you can only find that the man of the house failed in business and was visited to collect debts, and the whole family committed suicide overnight. But my husband's nephew used to work as an apprentice in the mill of the man of their family, and it is said that the family had offended someone, and the result was ......."

"The whole family...... All dead? "Angelia was struck by lightning.

"When was that?" Lin An asked.

"Probably...... More than two or three years ago, I remember having just given birth to my youngest son. ”

"So where did the word about the ghost building come from?"

The proprietress changed her face, her eyes flashed with horror, and she talked about the rumors in the town with some excitement.

"After the building was vacant, no one bought it, so there were a lot of idlers and ruffians in the town who liked to go where they would gather. But I heard that there was often movement in the attic of that building at night, and that there were people who saw a figure flashing through the window, and after scaring two people crazy in succession, it was said that the ghost of the family was still in that building, and no one dared to enter it again. ”

"Do you know who the family offended? Business rivals, or ......"

"I don't know, I don't know, an apprentice, where can I know so much! For the sake of that coin, don't go to that haunted building, as Father Robbie said, those ominous places that once blasphemed the glory of the gods! Let's go, let's go! ”

Lin An was driven out by the proprietress and slammed the door.

With the sights and hearings of ordinary townspeople, I can't find out more news, and I can find a clue that is different from the rumors in the town, I am afraid that it is the reason for the divination just now.

"Impossible, impossible...... My father was just an ordinary miller, he had always been peaceful, how could he offend anyone, he must have been mistaken! ”

Angelia was devastated and unwilling to believe what she had heard.

"It's not decided yet, Angelia, calm down first!"

Lin An's voice exploded in Angelia's ears, Angelia's body shook, and her pale face regained some light.

"Is there a church in your town, and in which direction is the cemetery?"

If Angelia's relatives really died in a family, according to local custom, it is usually the local priest who comes forward to collect and comfort the deceased.

And the death of a whole family is not a trivial matter in such a small town, since there is a lot of uproar, even if the family is surrounded by walls and can no longer afford to buy a cemetery, in order to spread the doctrine and buy people's hearts, the local church will definitely come forward.

Therefore, to confirm the authenticity of this matter, go into the cemetery and see.

Half a magic hour later, the town church.

“…… We didn't expect things to turn out like this, but according to previous missions, we always had to confirm the situation of his distant relatives before we could go back to report the task to the employer. ”

"God the Father, let the light of my Father shine upon you!"

"May the light of God shine on you and me!"

On the pretext of a task to find someone, Lin An and the three of them pretended to be mercenaries and negotiated with the priest who presided over the church to enter the cemetery, and the old priest who presided over the town church agreed without any doubts.

It happened to be a Sunday, and the priest was quite busy, so he gave an answer to a young trainee priest and brought them to the entrance of the cemetery.

"I remember the new cemetery two years ago, it was in the northeast corner of the cemetery, you can find it yourself."

Standing at the door and pointing the direction, the young trainee priest looked at the background of Lin An and the three of them walking towards the cemetery, and his eyes flickered a few times.

"The undead who should go to hell, they have been dead for so long, and they are still in trouble to find, what distant relatives, could it be that another group of people has found some clues, no, they can't be ...... Hum! ”

Muttering to himself vaguely, the young midshipman lifted the hem of the priest's robe, walked briskly out of the cemetery, whispered a place to go, and left the church and ran to another tall building in the town.

Unbeknownst to the young midshipman, shortly after he turned around, the mercenary with her back to him turned her head, and a cold light crossed her dark brown and almost black eyes.

"Angelia, how's it going, did you find it?"

The cemetery group in the northeast corner has a clear dividing line with other cemeteries, and the tombstones vary in style, but they are obviously newer than the nearby cemeteries, and they have obviously been erected in recent years.

Angelia looked at the tombstones in the northeast corner one by one, repeated the search several times, did not find a familiar name, and the search expanded to the entire cemetery, but after searching several times, she did not find the envisioned tombstone.

"Didn't find it?"

Angelia shook her head, a look of relief and hope on her face.

"Are these these? The style of their tombstones is similar to that of the old and new Cheng dù, and the suffix of the surname is the same, so it should be a family. ”

Athena's voice suddenly came from a corner, and she stood up straight, in a very remote corner of the cemetery.

Angelia's expression changed, the corner was too remote, blocked by a big tree, she didn't even notice that there were still a few tombstones there, and immediately ran in the direction of Athena with a hanging heart.

“…… Demi. Gulin - No, no, our family's surname is Grimm, not them! My sister isn't called Demi either, her name is Dolly. ”

When Angelia saw the first tombstone, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the names on the other tombstones, which were even more different from her family, and finally relieved herself.

In vain, Lin An and the others left the cemetery and found the old priest who had finished the service and thanked him.
