Chapter 12: Strange Sounds
Huo Lun still didn't give up and asked, "The kind of scroll rune you used last time, is the [Flame Burst Law Seal], can't you really sell me some?"
"I asked the priest, and the priest told me harshly, saying that these were the property of the temple and could not be sold to ordinary people. ”
I couldn't hide my disappointment anymore, but I still cheered up and said, "I'm sorry, Hull, even you have been scolded." ”
"It's nothing, we're friends, and I'm sorry I couldn't help you. ”
Hull shook his head and told Horen to be careful, because he didn't know the situation in that place, and there was no way to provide him with useful information.
After saying goodbye to Hull, Horren couldn't think of any good way for the time being, so he could only improvise when the time came, and if the situation was not right, he would retreat immediately.
When all the money was gone, there was only some copper, and some flint to be used for illumination, and some food and water for the road.
I spent a hundred coppers at the entrance of the tavern to inquire about the detailed route, and drew a simple map of myself from Fallen Leaves to Harvey Village, which was often harassed by that strange sound.
I didn't have the money to ride the carriage, so I found a small caravan to ride, which would travel to and from the town of Fallen Leaves and other villages every few days.
However, the small caravan did not pass through the village of Harvey, and he could only get off at a nearby place, and the rest of the way was on his own.
Luckily, the distance was not a wilderness area, and there were basically no large beasts in this area, all in the forests further to the east.
Just get to Harvey Village at night.
The price was negotiated, and the small caravan had more passengers in Horen.
The owner of this caravan was a small merchant in Fallen Leaf Town, who bought two horse-drawn carriages and made his fortune by going back and forth between small villages to buy and sell to the villagers of Fallen Leaf Town.
The owner of the caravan is also very aware of his strength and does not go farther.
Going farther away to do business not only means wealth, but also dangers, and he is very content with the status quo.
"Grunt, grunt~"
The wheels of the carriage run over the neat ground, and the road here is very smooth, often passed by carriages and people, except when it rains, it will not delay the journey.
Horen sat in the carriage of the second carriage, the first of which was full of goods, and he didn't communicate much with the rest of the caravan.
Soon, the caravan arrived at its destination, a village, where they unloaded their goods and collected the village's specialties, which needed to be rushed back to the town by evening.
Bidding farewell to the caravan master, Horren embarks on a journey into the unknown alone.
In the evening, before it was completely dark, Horren still arrived at his destination, and in the middle he took the wrong road and took some detours.
Otherwise, we could have rushed to Harvey Village earlier.
In the small village shrouded in night, Horen walked on the only road leading to the village, and in the distance he could faintly make out the appearance of the farmland, in which some of the local crops grew.
There are no recreational activities in Harvey Village, and basically the villagers lie down on the kang early to rest.
Only a few rooms could be seen through the doors and windows that candles were still lit.
"Knock knock..."
"Who?" Banner was about to go to bed when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Removing the weight behind the door, Banner quietly opened a crack and took the candle and looked out through the faint light.
is a handsome young man.
"Hello, sorry to disturb your rest. ”
"I'm a passing traveler and want to borrow one night, and I'm willing to give you a little compensation as a little bit of my heart. ”
Horen said as he looked at Banner with a smile on his face.
Banner behind the door hesitated, but opened the door anyway: "Come in." ”
"It's no problem to live in my house, but now it's just me, and my children and mother-in-law have gone to town. ”
Banner was a little reluctant to speak, but still reminded: "Our village is not very peaceful at night, you can sleep honestly at night, and if you run around, I will not be responsible for anything except for any problems." ”
"No problem, sir, I don't play with my life. ”
Horren assured earnestly.
Hearing the assurance, Banner was relieved. In the past, there were disobedient children in the village who ran around in the middle of the night, and the next day they were directly scared silly.
He followed Banner into another room next to him, and the style was very simple, and only then did he get out of a bed, and there was no other furniture.
"You can rest here at night, and call me if you have any questions. ”
"Thank you for your help, sir. ”
After watching Banner leave, he lay on his bed and thought about what to do next.
It's late at night.
Lying on the bed, Holren did not fall asleep after eating some of the dry food he brought, but just meditated with his eyes closed.
If there is any movement, you can react in time.
"Crunch, squeak~"
Open your eyes and look sideways out the door.
"Squeak~"
A strange sound faintly came from outside the door to Horren's ears.
He listened carefully for a while, and Banner next door didn't move at all, thinking of what he said before, he was probably hiding in bed now and didn't dare to move.
I rolled over and got up and packed up.
"I'd like to see what the hell is playing tricks. ”
Gently open the door and try not to disturb Banner.
He stretched out his head and looked around, but he didn't see any movement, and turned around and closed the door of his room.
Quietly stick to the wall and walk out slowly.
"Squeak~"
Again, this ugly voice.
After discerning the direction and confirming the approximate location, Horren quietly approached.
In the bright moonlight, in a lush farmland, in a neatly cultivated ravine, stood a skeleton as white as jade.
Tian Ken was on the side, with the help of lush plants, a pair of eyes were staring at this skeleton.
"It's a skeleton, what is he doing?"
Huo Lun was a little shocked in his heart, he didn't expect to see such a strange scene.
As soon as the thought moved, a strange picture was generated.
[Extraordinary Object: A skeleton man who has practiced the secret method of moonlight.] 】
[Status: During continuous cultivation, after becoming a skeleton, he was unable to practice meditation, and could only use his instinct to sense the ubiquitous elemental energy. 】
"Moonlight Secret Method?" Huo Lun secretly envied.
I don't know if I can beat this skeleton, and I can't tell if the damage is great, but it's just from some records of the Duchy of Moro.
No human life was spoken, and it was certainly not the first time the skeleton had been to the village, nor had he heard Banner say who had lost his life.
