Chapter 185: The Discouraged Warrior

"Yuria, I think we should take our time and calm down and think about how to climb over this high wall and how to get to the Church of the Undead." Ciri was clearly not as anxious and flustered as Yulia, and didn't even want to stop for a moment to go to Oran.

"Ciri, but Orlan may be in danger, and he's waiting for us to rescue him." Yulia interrupted Ciri.

"Yulia I know you're worried about him, but what I need to do now is how to find Orlan while preserving myself. I'm sorry to say that, but my experience as a witcher has taught me that our situation is not good either, and we have to plan and be prepared. This is the realm of the gods, the world of the undead and the gods, and we have to trust each other, and we should also trust Orlan to take care of himself. ”

Ciri grabbed Yulia's shoulders and tried to soothe her impatience. And Yulia is certainly not a willful woman who can't listen to reason, although Orlan's disappearance does make her lose her usual calm and wisdom.

Yulia took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "You're right, Ciri, you know that when I mention something about Oran, I always can't help it. Thank you for the reminder, we need to be well prepared. Food, water, and weaponry must be sufficient to support the rest of our journey. Maybe Orlan will find us first, he's always a miracle guy, isn't he? ”

"Oh, it's sad, it looks like your companions are trapped in the Black Forest. Wouldn't it be nice if I could have a few companions like you...... But let's put it first, even if you beg me, I won't leave here even half a step. The warrior watched the conversation between the two humans with envy, and only felt that he needed something to cushion his stomach, the primordial bottle?

"Hmph, don't eavesdrop on our conversation, Mr. Undead. And we won't ask a strange undead to join our ranks. Yulia gave the warrior a blank look.

The warrior had no choice but to shrug his shoulders innocently, he was already here, he had been here, and he was obviously to blame for "talking so much" in front of him. Are humans always so unreasonable? He couldn't remember a little bit about when he was a human.

……

Yuria and Ciri first tentatively searched for something valuable in the ruins, and the two planned to act together, after all, they could not trust this seemingly harmless undead.

Looking at the sun in the sky, they roughly determined the direction. The ruins are roughly northeast of the campfire, and the ruins should be safe, and no monsters have been found. Following the staircase access on the right, they found what appeared to be a damaged elevator that was now of no value.

And Ciri, who is good at finding clues, finds that the hole under the elevator seems to be a sign of human movement. As expected, they descended through the hole to a more secluded gap and found three wooden chests.

Ciri carefully examined it and was sure it wasn't some trap. Opening the chest, there were several bone fragments, a hammer-shaped weapon, an amulet, and finally a few red beads. It doesn't seem to have any value to them.

They then passed through the crack in the wall and found several Lloyd amulets in the chests on the edge of the dirt slope. They knew this kind of thing, and when they were in the human world, they had not seen the White Sect army use it to hunt the undead. So it's just right to defend against the undead at the campfire, isn't it?

Beneath the dirt slope was a cemetery, but Ciri could smell something unusual, similar to the scent of the undead. However, the two of them still had the courage to jump down, and the result was to alarm the undead skeleton creatures in the cemetery.

Ciri took the lead, smashing the heads of the skeletons with a few blows of her razor-sharp Jeviael, making them unable to get up again. As we continued deeper into the cemetery, more skeletons stood up, and there were even many oversized skeletons.

It would be dangerous to leave Ciri alone to deal with them, but Yulia did not hesitate to use the special alchemy curling stone in her hand, and in a single shot, she froze the hordes of skeletons into ice sculptures, and even the stone tombstones, and then all turned them into "fragile objects".

Ciri used his sword to turn the ice sculptures into ice slag, and then began to loot the loot in the cemetery, but most of them were weapons they didn't use, and they only found a decent telescope, as it was nowhere near as good as Yulia's homemade telescope.

But the biggest gain belongs to the white glowing soul fragments in those ice slags, which are good things, and the two of them certainly don't plan to let them all go.

After cleaning up the cemetery, the two returned to the ruins and walked down the stairs to the second floor of the ruins. Not far from the campfire, the warrior was a little surprised to see the two humans safe and sound, but he didn't expect them to escape from the cemetery.

Ciri was adept at exploring the complex terrain, and she went on to find some of the quicker souls, and found a key on a higher roof, which she put away first, though she didn't know what it was for.

Stunned by the undead warrior, the two returned to the campfire and began to sort through their findings in front of him. He hadn't really realized that there were so many good things in this dilapidated ruin.

……

There is also a spiral ladder next to the campfire.

"Hey, Mr. Undead, can you go down the spiral ladder to the ancient ruins you said?" Yulia gestured to the side.

"Of course, but you have to have the key. There's also a woman down there, and you can go and meet her, though I don't think you'll get any useful news, hehe. The warrior replied with a smile.

Ciri clearly didn't intend to reveal the key she had just found, whether or not it would open the passage below.

Then they did find the woman who was locked up in the cave, who seemed to be a saint of the White Sect. The two of them really didn't poke anything out of her mouth, because the other seemed to be unable to speak. There was nothing they could do to help, and the iron cage seemed to be reinforced by a strong barrier.

Back at the campfire, I had probably explored the area all but the way southwest down the hill.

Although the exploration was fruitful, the most important thing was that they found no food or water, and there was nothing but the supplies that the three of them had prepared in Yuria's special mage belt. To this end, Yulia has also mastered the use of magic, although she has always advertised that her alchemy is superior to magic.

However, she had to compromise in order to use the Mage's Belt to carry supplies, after all, Orlan and Ciri were melee units among the three, and she was the only one who was better suited to carry supplies.

So with limited supplies, they really have to get out of here. ()
