Rodland

Fire Sacrifice Ground

"Hey, crow. Can we discuss it a little more and take us back to find the man you left behind? We can pay you more, and aren't you also responsible for that? We can't afford to leave our companions behind. Once again, Yulia spoke to the sun-basking crow at the head of the ruins wall.

"Quack!" Obviously, it was unmoved, probably saying that no matter how much benefit it was given, it would not go, or that it was a small life. It seems that the giant's dragon hunting bow has left a lot of shadows on him.

"Yuria, it doesn't look like it will help us anymore, let's figure it out ourselves." Ciri sat by a campfire with an iron sword stuck in it, brushing her long sword.

"Well, you're right about Ciri, we can't expect a flat-haired beast to be responsible for its faults." Yulia shook her fist at the big crow.

"Quack!" The big crow was not happy.

At this time, Yulia and Ciri were not the only ones around the campfire, a down-and-out man wearing chain armor was also by the campfire......

It all started three days ago, he was a warrior who was about to give up his duty, well, there is no name, because even he himself can't remember. The only thing he remembers is waking up next to the campfire after dying again and again, and then he was a little scared, afraid of turning into those naked and withered living corpses.

He poured the only remaining humanity into the campfire, transformed himself back into human form, and felt better at last. I didn't want to leave the campfire again because I would feel the unbearable cold to the bone. Fortunately, the undead don't have to eat or drink, just stare at the flames.

It's just a little boring, but it's better to be bored than to be a living corpse.

There was a crow cry in the sky, it had been a long time since the crow had been seen, could it be that it had come to this land with a new undead? The warrior couldn't help but look up. The big crow flapped its wings and stirred up a puff of dust on the ground, and the grass rustled, and there was nothing but the campfire.

Well? Two people, undead? No, it's human! Or a woman. First of all, the good warrior doesn't look down on women, it's just that he rarely encounters female immortals, although for immortals, men and women are the same. But he's been a long time...... Well, it looks like I haven't met a human in a few lifetimes.

How could humans have come to this place? Or is there some special way for them to get out of here? Get out of here and return to the world...... Warrior, his long-dormant heart seemed to beat again.

Right! What should be done, and how do humans greet each other? The warrior was a little excited, and he finally got up and left the stone steps below his butt...... I saw that the place where he sat left a clean "mark".

"You know...... I'm sorry, but first of all, I have to welcome both of you to Rodland, I'm ...... It's a warrior, the way to go back, ahem. Well...... Two, ma'am, okay? The warrior has been incoherent, he hasn't spoken to a living human for too long, in fact, for the undead, he doesn't care about any man, woman, or beauty at all, but the strong "human" aura exuded by the two of them makes him unable to help himself.

Although the warriors have very much controlled this undead desire.

"What's wrong with him?" After being dropped from the crow's back, Ciri drew his sword and looked at this man warily? Or the undead.

"It may be the 'addiction' of the undead, be careful." Of course, Yulia and her party had dealt with many undead people during their journey north, and they were all familiar with the undead's desire for the living.

The conversation between the two made the warrior freeze in place, well, it was obvious to them that they were an immortal. So what else are you pretending to be, it's really disappointing enough to kill them? No, no, no, the key is to know how to go back, and can you beat the woman with the sword? He didn't want to die again.

The warrior, a mess in his brain, sat back in discouragement, just enough to cover the clean "mark" on the stone steps.

"I don't want to do anything to you, take it easy. I'm just curious how humans could get to this place, and if I could, I'd like to get out of here, out of this damn place. So you know how? The Warrior felt much better after "letting himself go", stopped stammering, and could even ask the two ladies out loud.

"You want to go back? Just look for the crow, but be careful that it drops you halfway, huh. Yulia glared at the crow lying on the wall, she had tried to make the crow turn around after falling from Oran, but the crow would not listen to her at all. That's why they're here.

"Well, when I didn't ask, if the crow would have taken me away, I would have left. So what are you doing here? Fulfill the mission of the immortal, the mission of humanity? Give up whatever bullshit mission you want, I really don't know why humans are here here. The warrior seemed to be speaking to himself, and then he hung his head and watched the flame fall silent again.

……

"Strange undead, can we ask you a few questions?" Yuria thought to herself that the most important thing now was to know where they were at this time and where to find Oran.

"Question, do you mean the bell, are you going to ring the bell? This is the mission of the immortals, this is my mission. But I'm not doing it anymore, that's all. The warrior spread his hands.

"Bell? Mission of the Undead. No, I don't care what the clock is, I want to ask if you know a forest and a huge lake, how do you get to that place? Yulia then asked the warrior.

"Forests, lakes? Well, the place you're talking about seems to be the Black Forest, but I haven't been there. The warrior thought about it, he had indeed heard of that place, and as for what he had heard from there, he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Direction? How do we get there? Yulia continued to ask.

"Well, well, I don't understand what you humans think. I only know a rough idea, two bells, one in the ancient ruins of the sick village below us, from where I don't think we can go to the Black Forest. The other is right above us, the bell tower of the Church of the Immortals, from where it seems that there is a way to the Black Forest. ”

"Okay, thank you, we'll reward you if you get the chance. But now we have to go and find our partners first. ”

"Wait, don't worry, I'm not done yet. To get to church, you have to go through the town of the undead, a very difficult road. There are too many living corpses in there, and there are even big ones you didn't expect. Alas, are you really going? It's going to die a terrible death. The warrior discouraged.

"Well, you have to go, no matter what the road ahead."
