Chapter VII Cremation

The woods were not far from the camp, and the two of them were in front of the camp gate in a blink of an eye, the pale skeleton was scattered all over the ground, and the body of the red-haired Joe, who had only half of his head left, was nailed to the grass by a few arrows, and other than that, there was nothing around.

Hal and Huck's bodies are missing?

Unas hurriedly dismounted to check, the bodies of the two were indeed gone, and an inexplicable fear fell on him, who would steal their bodies?

"This is Joe." Gordon also dismounted, recognizing his former comrades, whose long red hair was a very conspicuous sign.

"Yes, he turned into a zombie and killed Hal before I hacked him to death, and then Huck was shot to death by a skeleton archer, and I escaped with heavy armor and finally wiped out all the skeletons." Unas recounted the battle.

"What about Hal and Huck's bodies? Why didn't you resurrect them then? Gordon wondered.

Seeing that Gordon doubted himself, Unas was anxious: "I tried twice, but unfortunately I failed, you have to believe me!" ”

"Their bodies were already here," he said, pointing to a bloodstained meadow, "I put them here with my own hands!" ”

"Don't be nervous, I trust you," Gordon crouched down to take a closer look at the grass, "Judging by the marks on the ground, it seems that they got up on their own and left." ”

"I got up on my own...... Were they also resurrected? ”

"Resurrection in another sense," Gordon sighed, "they must have been infected with the plague and turned into undead creatures." ”

Unas was stunned, he realized the horror of the undead plague, which could turn humans into their mortal enemies in such a short time.

"Are we going after them?"

"There's no need for that, although the wound has healed, my body is still weak, and you seem to have reached the limit, the wilderness at night is very dangerous," Gordon looked at the darkness in the distance, "let them start another 'human' life." ”

"Let's deal with Joe's body first." He walked into the camp and picked up a large handful of firewood, apparently preparing to burn Joe's body.

Unas came to help, and the two piled up wood on Joe's corpse and poured some pine oil on it, and Gordon picked up a torch and lit the fire, and the fire quickly burned.

"His name is Joe Booth, he is from Gallenshire, he is a good man, a good ranger, as always, he is dutiful, he always follows the guidance of the Light, he is not afraid of the hardships to fight until the last moment, and at this time, he finally returns to the embrace of the Light, the Light is above!"

After the eulogy, Gordon muttered a prayer again, the "former paladin" was still a very devout believer in the Light.

Unas yawned, and the series of events since the crossing seemed to have finally come to an end, and a strong sleepiness hit, and he did not disturb Gordon, who knelt on his knees and prayed, and casually found a tent and fell asleep.

……

In the early morning, the long-lost sunlight sprinkled from the mountains and forests, dispelling the faint white mist, the cheerful chirping of birds and birds came, and the early birds began to forage for food, this peaceful and peaceful scene, as if last night's fierce battle was just a nightmare.

Unas was awakened by a cacophony of noises, he was so tired last night that he fell asleep without taking off his armor, his back was aching from the hard steel, he stretched his waist with all his might, his bones "clicked", and his legs began to numb, so that he could barely stand up.

Struggling out of the tent, what caught my eye was a dazzling red, five soldiers were confronting Gordon in the middle of the camp, they were all wearing bright red battle robes, each holding a war horse in their hands, it seemed that the few people who had gone out of the camp to patrol before had finally returned, it was really unrealistic to rely on them, and they didn't come back until dawn.

It is an exaggeration to say that it is a confrontation, it should be said that it was unilaterally questioned by Gordon, except for the big fat man at the head, the rest of the people lowered their heads.

Beads of sweat rolled down from the forehead of the dead fat man headed by him, and his face was constantly shaking, as if he was desperately trying to justify something.

Unas suddenly appeared from the tent, attracting everyone's attention, and the dead fat man turned his head and pointed at him stunned, his lips flying: "Who are you?" How do I wear my armor? ”

So this dead fat man is what Hal said about Captain Perion? No wonder he didn't like to wear this armor, no matter how big it was, it wouldn't fit in.

Before Unas could speak, Gordon replied on his behalf, "This is the paladin Unas Raugard, and without his help, I would have been a corpse. ”

"It's Unas-sama," the fat man's face changed quickly, "I'm Parian Gosling, the captain of the Ninth Detachment of the Northern Maple Legion, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Mitu." Unas also had to be perfunctory.

"Where are you from?" The dead fat man automatically filtered Unas's bird language, and began to set almost, "It looks very alien." ”

The appearance of the Unas Oriental is indeed a little abrupt, this is the identity question he is worried about, and he doesn't know how to answer it for a while.

Fortunately, Gordon cleared the siege in time: "Perryn! I'm not in the mood to listen to you here, your dereliction of duty indirectly led to the death of Hal and Huck, and of course, I am responsible for their deaths. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said in an accentuated tone: "I will write all your actions on the report, and you will wait for the military law to deal with it!" ”

Listening to Gordon's stern reprimand, the dead fat man was stunned, and suddenly sat on the ground and cried: "Woo wow...... I don't want to do that, wow...... It's so close to the monastery, wow...... It should be safe! ”

Rolling on the ground while crying, Unas couldn't help but ask: With such poor psychological quality, how did this dead fat man become the captain?

Gordon ignored the dead fat man who was crying on the ground, and ordered loudly: "Others, follow me to clean up the battlefield!" ”

Everyone got on their horses, and Unas rode on Perion's mount, a majestic brown horse with two hares around its neck, probably the game he brought to Hal and Huck. This dead fat man seems to have a little conscience.

The first time Unas rode a horse alone, he was very smooth, probably because he had already learned "elementary riding" in the game.

He rode his horse alongside Gordon and asked, "Is the fat man finished?" ”

"It's hard to say."

"You're going to let him go?" Unaschi said.

"I'm just a guerrilla knight, not his immediate superior, and his father was an old subordinate of General Abydis, so as long as he doesn't commit a serious crime, no one can touch him."

"And who is General Abydis? Sounds sinister. A familiar name, but Unas couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Don't talk nonsense, after the death of Marshal Garissus in battle, General Abidis is now the supreme commander of the Northern Feng Legion, although I don't agree with many of his practices, but as the heir of his superiors who took care of his fallen subordinates, this is understandable."

"Garissus" - another familiar name, the last marshal of Lordaeron, this man is a human-supremacy racist who discriminates against all races except humans, in the Battle of Warcraft 3, he almost forced the High Elf prince Kael'thas to death, and in the end he was fed a ghoul by the dark queen Sylvanas.

But none of this has anything to do with now, Unas only knows that there is someone on top of the dead fat man, and he is fine for the time being.

The six of them quickly arrived at the battlefield of last night, which was still a mess, the broken corpses of the undead scattered across the woodland, and the smell of ash and decay filled the air.

"In order to prevent the plague from spreading in this land, we will gather the remains of the undead and burn them."

Gordon gave orders one after another, and several soldiers scattered, some to collect firewood, some to move the corpse of the ghoul, and Unas was about to go up to help, but Gordon stopped him.

He stroked the ring on his left hand, as if remembering something, and whispered: "My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was a fire archmage, with powerful magic, he achieved victory in the troll war and was made a nobleman, but unfortunately no one among his descendants has the talent of a mage, in order to continue the glory of the family, he spent half his life to create two treasures - a delicate magic sword 'Fire Kiss' and an unpretentious ring. ”

"Is that the black ring you have on your hand?" Unas asked.

"Yes," Gordon replied after a pause as he watched the soldiers scatter into the distance, in a voice that only two people could hear, "everyone's attention is drawn to the ornate 'Fire Kiss', but they don't know that the real secret is this humble ring, which allows a person who does not know magic to control the energy of the flames, which is the greatest secret of our Flame Knight family." ”

Unas's heart "thumped", such an important secret has been told to me, is this guy finally going to fulfill his promise?

Sure enough, Gordon continued: "I gave you this ring last night before I died, and I will not break my promise, it belongs to you now." ”

That was said, but he didn't seem to mean to take the ring off.

"But flames are very dangerous things, if you don't control it well, you may play with fire and burn yourself, I will keep this ring for you first, don't worry, I will slowly teach you how to use it, and I will give it to you when you fully grasp it."

Looking at Gordon's sincere expression, Unas couldn't refute it for a while, so he could only scold unwillingly in his heart: Your shameless appearance has the charm of my time.

I knew that the labor and management should have brought the precious ring over last night.

At this time, a soldier came over with a head, saluted the two of them, pointed to the head in his hand, and said, "Report to Lord Gordon, I have seen this face on the bounty order, it seems to be a wanted necromancer." ”

"It's a necromancer, his head might be worth a few gold coins, wrap it up."

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and left.

Speaking of gold coins, it reminded Unas, and he had an idea, and silently said in his heart: backpack.

In a word, a myriad of rays of light formed a ghostly backpack panel appeared in his mind, exactly like in the game, four 16-slot backpacks with a total of 64 slots.

Most of the lattices are empty, and only a few things are also garbage, what linen, broken XXX and the like, all of which he picked up casually.

The most valuable thing is probably the Hearthstone, Unas had bound the Hearthstone to Sentinel Ridge in the Western Wilderness before, he tried to use the Hearthstone, but there was no response, it seems that it was broken, if it can be repaired, he can immediately escape from this ghost place surrounded by the undead.

The lower right corner of the panel shows that there is still 485 gold, which was sent by his large hunter to learn skills and riding skills, but I don't know how 485 gold is purchased in this world?

But no matter what, with money in his hands, he felt much more at ease.
