Chapter 211: Tracking the Wraith

The next night, Wren spent more than two hours walking through several transcendent neighborhoods in the territory, sifting thousands of pedestrians with his soul eye, but still no results.

As you pass by the Hammer Arena, see the sign of the tavern opposite.

"Crossroads. ”

He was familiar with the tavern after playing cards in the middle of the night last night, and when he looked up, he saw that on the platform on the third floor, Ding Laji and Pauline were sitting at the table by the railing, drinking and playing cards.

"Why did you get here again," Wren muttered.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Din Raj also saw him, stood up and waved at him, showing the cards in his hand to signal himself to go up.

Wren hesitated for a few seconds, then moved towards the tavern.

"Only two games were played, as a break. "I'll keep searching later." ”

A few hours later.

Wren came out of the tavern, looked at the night in the sky, and secretly admonished himself, "Wren, Wren, the territory is facing the threat of the necromancer, how can you be so careless, you can't go on like this tomorrow." ”

A week later.

On the third-floor platform of the Crossroads Tavern, Wren was holding the Ten Thousand Souls card in his hand, his eyes were focused, and he was silently calculating the opponent's hand cards in his heart.

On the table in front of him were a dozen gold shields and hundreds of silver crowns.

This was won tonight by playing cards, partly from Dinkraj and Paulin, and more from the other patrons of the tavern.

In recent days, the news of a Master of All Souls coming to the Crossroads Tavern has spread among the small circle of transcendentals.

There were players who came to challenge each day, but none of them won money from the witcher named "Van Helsing."

In the beginning, there were a few players who were able to win the occasional round or two with high-quality cards and a bit of luck.

But later, Van Helsing also collected a lot of rare cards, and the more proficient he became, it became more difficult for others to win him.

After playing more than 1,000 rounds, Van Helsing lost no more than 30 times, and the winning rate was frighteningly high.

At this point, the player sitting across from you looks as ugly as constipation.

Wren remained expressionless and played the last card.

"You lost. ”

The onlookers all let out a burst of regret in unison, this kind of scene, they have seen it too many times in the past few days, every time they see Van Helsing about to lose, but it is always a little bit worse.

The opposite player is reluctant, but helpless.

He took out all the money in his wallet, threw it on the table, and sat back in his place to drink.

Wren looked around and saw that there were no new challengers, so he put away his cards and took out a bag to put the gold shield and silver kroner in it.

Ding Laji's face was full of envy, "If I had your skills, I wouldn't have opened meat for a few days." ”

His pockets were now cleaner than his face, he didn't have a single copper, and he even drank at Paulin's behest.

Pauline wasn't much better, just more restrained.

Wren didn't pay much attention to the money, and every half minute, his eyes swept the streets below very stealthily, and said, "When will you pay the money you owe me?"

In the past few days of playing cards, Ding Laj has not only lost all his money, but also owed himself a lot of debt.

"Uh" Ding Laji suddenly became embarrassed, and sneered, "Van Helsing, anyway, you are not short of money now, give me a few more days." ”

Seeing that Van Helsing was unmoved, he hurriedly patted his chest, "I told you before, I took a big task, and playing cards here these days is actually waiting for the target to appear, and when the task is completed, the money will be returned to you immediately." ”

"Three days at most. Wren said coldly.

Playing cards is playing cards, and he didn't really forget about business, pretending to be bored, and the eye of his soul scanned back and forth below.

"Three days"

Ding Laj scratched his chin a little tangled, and thought for a moment, as if he had made some decision, "Van Helsing, if I let you participate in this mission, the money I owe you will be written off, and the bounty will be divided equally, how about it"

Without waiting for Wren to answer, Pauline was reluctant.

"Didn't you say okay, it's enough for the two of us to make a move" He stared at Ding Raji, his hungry wolf-like eyes were full of displeasure, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's only fifteen hundred gold shields in total, but the bounty needs three people, so it's not interesting." Moreover, I don't know what his strength is."

"He's at least a high-level witcher, maybe better than you. ”

Ding Laji said with great certainty, and reassured, "It's more certain for the three of them to act together, it's a big deal that I will take a little less, and your bounty will not change." ”

"That's pretty much it. Pauline reluctantly agreed, but looked at Wren with suspicion.

Wren listened to the conversation between the two and was furious.

He obviously offered a bounty of 3,000 gold shields, but Ding Laji handled half of it, and this Bolin was cheated with a lot of money and didn't know it.

"What task," Wren pretended to be interested.

"Your witcher's best job is to track down and hunt monsters. Din Raj said in an invisible voice, "But not ordinary monsters, but necromancers"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly twitched his nose twice.

He has an ugly appearance, and his nose was cut off half in his early years, leaving two black holes, but his sense of smell is very sensitive, and after twitching like a dog a few times, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Your luck is so good, the target has appeared." ”

Pauline sat up in good spirits "Where"

"Don't look around, keep drinking. Ding Laj was extremely calm, and the corners of his mouth raised a somewhat confident smile, "He can't run away." ”

Wren also took a sip of his glass, sweeping the street out of the corner of his eye.

Needless to point out by Din Raj, he also found the target.

On the other side of the street where the Hammer Arena was located, a horse-drawn carriage came slowly and stopped in front of an alchemy shop.

The driver was a young man, about twenty-five years old, wearing leather armor and hanging a long sword, and his athletic skills jumped lightly from the car and walked into the shop.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that he is a ranger.

Wren's soul eye went straight into the depths and saw it more clearly, this was a second-level ranger, his strength was relatively ordinary, there was nothing outstanding, and his appearance was also very inconspicuous.

However, the other party's soul state is abnormal, and it is entangled by another pale soul and suppressed to death.

"Possessed by Evil Spirits"

Wren immediately recognized that the young ranger was possessed by a wraith.

Wraiths are undead creatures, they are pure energy bodies, not afraid of physical attacks, attack the living with the cold energy of their own death, and like to attach to the body of the living, controlling the movement of the body.

Every necromancer summons wraiths to serve them.

As long as you track this wraith, you will definitely find the whereabouts of the necromancer.

Wren couldn't help but glance at Ding Laji, this demon warlock had two shots, a distance of hundreds of meters, and it was still at night, and he actually found the resentful spirit.

A person possessed by a resentful spirit cannot see any difference in appearance, and is almost exactly the same as a normal person.

Wren thought to himself, if he didn't have the soul eye, it would be difficult for him to detect.

The three of them continued to drink, and Ding Laji even happily talked about meat jokes, causing bursts of laughter from the guests at several tables nearby.

Only occasionally swept the alchemy shop with a hint of caution in his eyes.

Soon after.

The young ranger came out of the shop, followed by a few men, who carried more than a dozen boxes of alchemy materials and put them in the carriage, and respectfully watched the young man leave.

The carriage grew farther and farther away, disappearing across the street.

"Come with me. ”

Din Raj immediately got up, took Wren and Pauline downstairs, and left the Crossroads Tavern.

The trio chased after them along the street.

After a few moments, I was away from the Hammer Arena and turned into a relatively remote road, with no street lights, and it was pitch black all around, and there were few pedestrians in sight.

The carriage is long gone.

Wren couldn't see with his soul eyes, his vision was blocked by various things on the ground.

However, Ding Raj was not in a hurry at all, twitching his nose every half minute, without the slightest hesitation in his steps, obviously very sure of his sense of smell.

As Pollin ran, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you're not chasing the wrong one?"

"Nonsense. Dingraj was dissatisfied with Paulin's suspicion of himself, and snorted and said, "The nose of the Cerberus can recognize most of the scents in the world, especially the monsters related to the abyss, and I can smell the stench of the undead from a thousand steps." ”

Wren glanced at him, he already knew.

Demon sorcerers derive their power from demons, who rely on the unique medium of the Demon Codex to enslave demon souls and carve runes on their bodies with demonic blood.

When fighting, you can summon the demon and have it possess and strengthen yourself.

This cultivation method is very similar to that of the Wizard of All Souls, but it is limited to demons, and the number summoned is not as good as that of the Wizard of All Souls.

Demon Warlocks can enslave a demon for each level they rise.

Each time you move up a rank, you can summon one more demon in battle, and Din Laj is a high-level warlock, summoning up to three demons into battle at the same time, and if you exceed this number, it will get out of control.

The Din Laji Servitude fused eight demons, one of which was a Cerberus.

In the past few days, when playing cards, he has been using Cerberus's sense of smell, constantly discerning the scents that appear near the tavern.

"He's picking up the pace, and we're going to have to hurry up. ”

A dark red illusory code appeared in Dinglaji's hand, with a demon's skull painted on the cover, flipping to one of the pages, silently chanting a spell and casting a spell, and a tall war horse jumped out of thin air.

It was heavily armoured, and its eyes and hooves emitted strange light green flames that lit up its surroundings and exuded a terrifying aura all over it.

This is the Demonic Warman's Dread Warhorse.

The Dreaded War Horse is a demon that lives in the abyss and is born with an aura of fear that can intimidate the enemies around it.

The Demon Warlock incorporates its demon soul into his Demon Codex and summons it at any time as his own riding mount.

Din Raj jumped on the Dreaded Horse, and it immediately sprang out on all four hooves, extremely fast, leaving charred hoof prints on the ground.

"I hate this thing. Pauline was uncomfortable with the scent of the Dreaded Horse, and sped up on his feet, keeping his distance from it.

He was a Wind Demon swordsman, known for his speed, and he easily followed Din Laji.

When he was a little worried that Van Helsing would not be able to keep up, he turned his head and saw the witcher running beside him unhurriedly.

"Are the Cat Witchers so fast?"

Pauline was confused.

The Demon Hunter is good at tracking monsters, and his speed is definitely not slow, especially the Cat Demon Hunter, who has dexterous steps, balanced posture, and is good at fighting and moving in Xiao Fannei, but in pure terms of speed, it should not be as good as the Wind Demon Swordsman, but Van Helsing seems to be faster than himself, and his face is relaxed when he runs, as if he still has spare strength.

Wren guessed Pauline's thoughts, and laughed twice in his heart, but he didn't say a word.

The three of them were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and they never lost their minds.

After about twenty minutes of chasing, Din Raj suddenly slowed down, jumped down from the Dreaded Warhorse, took it back to the Demon Codex, and whispered, "He's stopped." ”

Ahead at night was a town, lit up sporadically.

Wren was very familiar with his own territory, which was the town of Dasom, which had more than 30,000 inhabitants, mostly civilians and ordinary people, one-third of whom were locals, engaged in agriculture and worked for their own plantations and farms, and the remaining two-thirds were workers from other places, working in nearby factories.

There are more than a dozen such settlements in the territory, and Dasom is not the largest, nor is the largest number of people, ranking around fifth.

Wren opened the map on his phone and found out the location of the town of Dasom.

The town of Dasom is located in the north-north of the Territory of Glamorgan, in the middle of the Territory's densely populated area.

Wren's heart tightened, that necromancer was hiding here, and the situation was not good.

As the three approached the town in the darkness of the night, they stopped behind a haystack outside the town to look at the town, and Dinglaj said, "I'll take a look at the situation first." ”

He cast the spell silently, and after a few seconds, an eyeball the size of a fist was summoned.

The eyeballs float in the air, and their bodies are dark green.

Its pupils are vertical, and as soon as it comes out, it looks around, its gaze seems to be able to see through the void, and when it is summoned, it immediately fades into an invisible state.

"Go. ”

Dingraj closed his eyes and let out a low sigh, and his eyes immediately flew to the town of Dasom.

Wren watched as he cast his tricks, the Demon Warlock's "Nether Eye", and Din Raj's vision was connected to the Nether Eye, allowing him to see everything it saw.

He waited patiently.

In less than five minutes, Din Raj's eyes opened, "Found it." ”

"How's that?" asked Pauline anxiously.

"They were hiding in the courtyard on the other side of town, and there were three of them, including the Ranger, but I'm not sure if there were any necromancers. "They are unloading, and I smelled the smell of the alchemy room in that courtyard, which is very heavy, and should be secretly refining a large amount of potions." ”

"I hadn't smelled this potion before, but it felt horrible to me. Din Raj speculated, "Most likely a poison." ”

"Poison" Pauline was taken aback.

Necromancers are good at refining all kinds of terrible toxins for human experiments, and they are also very terrifying beings for transcendentals, and they dare not be contaminated.

He immediately retreated.

Ding Laji was also hesitating, anyway, he had already found the whereabouts of the necromancer, went back and reported it to Earl Glamorgan, and took the thousand gold guilders himself.

But before he could say anything, he saw that Van Helsing was already approaching the town.
