Chapter 12: A Traveler from Far Away

A figure draped in a hood stepped out of the woods and lifted his cloak, revealing a handsome face.

Barty, who was originally startled by the sudden voice, blushed and became at a loss when she saw Luo Qiu's appearance.

Lina, who was only seven or eight years old, asked aloud, "Who are you? ”

"A traveler from afar. Luo Qiu responded lightly.

Luo Qiu didn't choose the northern path, which had to pass through the Black Rose Mage Tower, and was easily stopped by Reinhardt.

The Transfiguration Armor was refined by Reinhardt's old lich, and who knows if he has a way to see through himself. His subordinate Wright and others have even seen Luo Qiu's current face.

Simply crossed the Hengduan Mountains and came to the other side of the mountain range, which was like a moat for ordinary people, but it was just a small ridge for him, and it took a while to turn over.

Unexpectedly, he just ran into a human population, and before he could ask for directions, he heard the words that defended him, when did the King of Steel Bones eat people? Even in the years that the King of Steel Bones has been crisscrossing the continent, he has never eaten people, and the undead don't eat anything, why are they eating people, who is spreading rumors?

However, the other party is just two little girls, so naturally it can't be the source of the rumors, Luo Qiu didn't blame, and asked instead: "Excuse me, what is this place?"

Barty's little heart was pounding, and her eyes were about to burst into little stars: "Not only handsome, but also very polite, is he a nobleman?"

Lina raised her hand and responded: "This is Caiyun Village." ”

"Oh. "Unfamiliar names don't mean anything, even if he knows the name, Luo Qiu can't figure out where he is, he doesn't know anything about the geography of this world.

"What is the point of the trial you just mentioned? Is there a lynching here?" This is just a village, and there is no right to judge, and if someone is tried here, it is very likely that lynching is being used.

"They're judging Sister Melissa. Lina spoke briskly.

Shrine maiden, resurrected, rotting corpses?

Luo Qiu was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Did you say that Melissa never left this village, can you resurrect a corpse?"

"Probably not?" said Lina, hesitantly turning her head to look at Barty.

Barty shook her head, didn't dare to look at Luo Qiu, and lowered her head and said, "No, I've known Sister Melissa since I was a child, and I've never seen her leave the village. ”

Luo Qiu couldn't help but be curious: "Oh, then it's interesting, can you take me to your village? I want to visit the village chief and witness this trial by the way." ”

"Of course, I'll take you. Lina was so excited that she jumped up, threw away the basket on the spot, and ran ahead to lead the way, she had long wanted to go back to see the trial, but Barty had not allowed it, and now that she had such a grand excuse to visit the village chief, how could she still hold it.

Caiyun Village is a small village of only thirty or forty families just outside the woods, and the residents of the village graze for a living, and the grass below the hillside is dotted with white sheep.

At the junction of two dirt roads in the village, a trial was going on, and two people were tied to two wooden pillars towering from the ground, one of whom was a girl dressed in coarse linen, and there was a kind of calm on her pretty face that saw through life and death.

And the other pillar was tied, but it could not be called a person, it was a corpse with white and swollen skin, unkempt hair, a pair of dead fish eyes, and many places had rotted, but it was desperately struggling and screaming.

If Barty and Lina had seen it, they would have found that Sebe's body had become much more dry and tough than when he had just been subdued, and he was gradually hardening without wetting and oozing from his wounds.

When any corpse witch is first born, it will go through a process of toughening, in which the corpse gradually dehydrates, the skin toughens, the process of decay is interrupted, and finally it becomes a sluggish zombie with amazing defense.

Seber was buried in the ground for three days before he was dug up and resurrected, and his body was far less in condition than that of the corpse witch who had just died and was directly reincarnated, and he seemed to be frightened by his own appearance, struggling desperately and screaming, but his vocal cords and lungs were irreversibly damaged, and he couldn't say anything.

The villagers of the lottery village were all around, and everyone looked at Seber with fear on their faces, and whispered a lot of discussions.

"Is this really Cyberber? How did such a good-looking young man become like this?"

"It's all this evil witch, who desecrated the corpse, and buried the corpse in the ground to rest in peace, and she dug it up, and it was she who made such a monster. ”

"It can't be said that Melissa was originally a kind child, she has been dependent on Seber since she was a child, and Seber's death made her crazy. ”

"No matter how reluctant you are, you can't do this kind of thing, you see, Seber himself is frightened, and whoever sees himself rotten like this must be scared to death. ”

“......”

Hearing the whispers of the villagers, Melissa was not at peace, she realized that she had really done something wrong, because she was reluctant to give up Seber's death, and tried desperately to revive him, but she did not expect that the resurrected Seber was not happy, but looked at her decomposing body and was terrified.

Frightened the villagers, frightened Seber, it is better to let him sleep in peace than this, Melissa regrets it incomparably, but it is already like this, it is too late to regret, let yourself use death to calm everyone's anger.

Melissa accepted her fate very calmly, anyway, Seber was dead, and it was not interesting for her to live alone.

Hearing that everyone was almost talking, the village chief, Krewe, stood up and said in a loud voice, "Have you made your judgment according to your own hearts? ”

After a pause to get everyone ready, Chief Kru said in a loud voice, "First Seber, and now, if you think he's guilty, raise your hand." ”

"Guilty. ”

"Guilty. ”

Brushing brush, a large number of arms were raised, and there was almost no one who did not raise their hands.

"What to do with him?"

"Burn him!"

"Burn him, burn him!"

The shouts were uniform.

"Okay, let's put down our hands first. The chief of Kru pressed down with his hands and motioned for everyone to lower their arms, and when everyone had calmed down, he shouted again: "It's time for Melissa, please raise your hand if you think she is guilty." ”

Brushing and brushing, another large piece of arms was raised.

"What to do with her?"

Opinions are uneven at this time, some say they want to burn her, some say they want to forgive her, some say they want her to go to jail, and in the end, less than a third of them asked her to be burned.

This result made the village chief Crewe also scratch his head a little, and the disagreement means that there is a dispute, and he is ready to hold a second round of voting, but at this time, Lina rushed over at a trot, shouting as she ran: "Village chief, village chief, there are travelers from afar to visit." ”
