None of the village chief nor the surrounding villagers were frightened by Yang Hao's description, they couldn't believe that a child would do such a thing.

"No, he's lying, I didn't mean to, I really forgot." Little Mark still doesn't admit it.

Yang Hao didn't want to say much to him, so he asked the village chief, "Did he have anything strange before, or did any strange people come to the village?" ”

Ordinary children definitely can't do this kind of thing, something must have happened that changed little Mark.

"Yes!" The village chief suddenly remembered something, and said, "Two weeks ago, little Mark came back from outside, and his injured leg was healed, and we are all very happy for him. ”

"Wait, you said he had a good leg and foot, was it before or after the leg injury, and how did he get hurt?" Yang Hao asked.

"I know this," Martha, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke: "Little Mark was injured a month ago, Dale and I were with him, and we went to White Rock together to buy some salt that day, and the town was very lively at that time, and we all had crazy fun. Little Mark was the fastest of us and the fastest in the village, and he accidentally ran into the young master of the Stian family, soiling his clothes. We kept apologizing, woo... But they still broke little Mark's right leg, woo..."

Martha recalls the sad past and can't help but cry.

"After.. Later, we pooled the money to hire the doctor in the town to treat little Mark, but we could only connect the bones, and we would be crippled for the rest of our lives. ”

"Don't you think it's strange that he's suddenly healed?" Yang Hao said.

"We asked at the time, and Mark Jr. said he had met a kind wizard who healed his leg." The chief of the village said.

Yang Hao almost forgot that this was the world of wizards, and it was not unusual for mysterious events to occur.

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not a good wizard, but an evil wizard." Yang Hao scoffed.

Little Mark struggled twice hard, and found that he couldn't resist the wind at all, so he stopped shouting, and said calmly: "Hmph, you are no different from those damn nobles, just frame good people." ”

"Framed? Gale! Pull his left hand out of the mud. Yang Hao said.

The wind grabbed little Mark's left hand and revealed the strange ring, and suddenly little Mark's face turned pale, and cold sweat slipped down his cheeks.

Yang Hao stepped forward, took off the ring, and wiped the mud off his head.

This is a black metal ring, Yang Hao doesn't know what it is made of, the main decoration of the ring is a skull head inlaid on it, Yang Hao looked carefully, and found that this is the ghoul's head, carved vividly.

Trying to input a little magic power, he reacted immediately, and the ghoul corpse on the ground twitched and moved, scaring the surrounding villagers into a fright.

"What else do you have to say!" Yang Hao said.

The chief of the village of Nite was knowledgeable, and when the other villagers were still ignorant, he already understood, and said bitterly: "Child, you... Why are you doing this? ”

"Don't call me kid! You don't deserve it! Little Mark no longer concealed it, and said frantically: "I am a warrior, a fearless warrior!" We are going to break this dark world where the aristocracy rules everything, hahaha, you accomplices will die, and the dark god will kill you all, ahaha... You're all going to die, you're all going to die! ”

Little Mark smiled hysterically and looked at everyone present with pity, and the villagers did not dare to look at him and bowed their heads to hide.

Yang Hao frowned in disgust, little Mark was so crazy that it seemed that he couldn't ask anything, so he asked the village chief to send someone to detain him.

Yang Hao: "Damn, is the clue just broken?"

"Alas, why did it become like this, he has always been a good boy." Chief Nit sighed and said that little Mark's betrayal was more serious than the ghoul's infliction.

"Village chief, now is not the time to sigh, the real mastermind has not been found, and the crisis in the village has not really ended." Yang Hao said solemnly.

"So what are we going to do? We don't have any money anymore and we can't afford to hire you. "The chief of the village of Nite is like a mourner.

"Haha, don't worry, the village chief, Brother Hao and I will definitely not sit idly by, do you think there are any other clues." The wind patted his chest and reassured.

Gale "..."There must be a big boss behind the scenes, and it's a fool not to fight.

The village chief of Nit didn't have an idea for a while, but he heard Martha say: "I know the clues, little Mark likes to write a diary, and there must be clues in the diary." ”

"Let's go, go to Little Mark's house." Yang Hao said.

….

The strong wind violently broke down the door, and the house was empty, and the furniture was old, showing that the owner was poor.

"Brother Hao, where can we find it, cough cough, this ash is too big." The gale cried bitterly.

"How many places can children hide, look under the bed." Yang Hao commanded.

Moments later, Gale took out a wooden box from under the bed, and when it was opened, it was Little Mark's diary.

"I don't know what I did wrong, but the moon god punished me like this, and the nobleman broke my leg just because I soiled his clothes. Although everyone was enthusiastic to help me, my leg could not be restored, how could I live. ”

"I'm going to deworm the pear orchard today, and Dale came to help me, and I'm very grateful. I'm a piece of waste and can't do anything!! ”

"I met a wizard today and he told me he could heal my leg, but he told me to change my faith and worship the god of darkness. I promised the wizard that I would plunge into the darkness as long as my leg could be healed. The wizard told me to wait at the entrance of the village tomorrow night, he was going to prepare the ceremony for me, and he couldn't tell anyone. I was confused, but I listened to the wizard and didn't say anything to Dale. ”

"At night, I waited for a terrible monster at the entrance of the village, and I thought I was going to die. I didn't expect that the monster was also a servant of God, I blindfolded as agreed, and the monster carried me on my back for a long time, and came to a cave, where the wizard held a ceremony for me, and I officially joined the Cult. ”

"Haha, it's true, the great god of darkness has really healed my leg, and I would like to give everything to my lord. I wanted to share my joy with my good brother Dale, but I promised the wizard and I decided to keep my promise. ”

"Every night I have to pay homage to my lord, the wizard is very good to me, he has taught me a lot, this world is ravaged by the damned nobles, they are the root of all evil, they are the maggots of the world, and the nobles must be destroyed! They must be destroyed! ”

"The wizard told me that it was still in the investigation period, and that I could not let me know the secret stronghold of the Cult, after all, the lackeys of the nobles were everywhere like fleas. Actually, I already know the location of the secret stronghold. Snaketail flowers in the forest are very rare, and only small cliffs can be found near the village, and I think the secret base is there. I wish I could be with my lord forever! ”

"My lord, little Mark is very confused, the wizard told me that everyone is a lackey of the nobles, how is this possible! Everyone is oppressed by ugly aristocrats, and perhaps I should let Dalle enter the Cult as well. ”

"Unbelievable! Dalle actually rejected me, what is wrong with pursuing freedom! Insulting our Lord! I didn't expect what the wizard said to be true, everyone is actually a lackey of the nobles, and everyone is my enemy! ”

…

"Ding, you got the information about the hidden mission 'Cult Stronghold', do you accept it?"

"Accept." Yang Hao and Gale chose to accept the mission at the same time.

Cult stronghold

Description: You have broken through the fog and finally come into contact with the black hand hidden behind the scenes. Be careful! The enemy may be strong.

Reward: Unknown.

…

Yang Hao closed Little Mark's diary and couldn't help but sigh: It's just the growth history of a madman, pitiful and pathetic.

Dafeng recalled the contents of the diary and said: "Does this cult want to carry out revolution, and what democracy and freedom does it advocate?" ”

"What nonsense, this is obviously a lie to children, how can the strong talk about democracy with the weak." Yang Hao refuted.

"There are no progressives yet, I think they are making leftist mistakes now, maybe they don't need to fight later, and we can convince people with a set of theories." Gale began to develop and fell into fantasies.

Yang Hao has been with him for a long time and knows that it is best to ignore him at this time, otherwise he can take himself into the ditch, turned to Martha and said:

"Martha, do you know what the little cliff is?"

"You know, it's a fault on the north side, and the forest starts from there, and the north side is 5 or 6 meters lower than the south side, and it looks like a cliff and it's not high, so it's called a small cliff. It's a pretty place, and I used to hang out with little Mark and Dahler when I was a kid. ”

"Martha, can you please lead the way? Feel relieved! We'll protect you. ”

"I'll take you there, the bad wizard has hurt little Mark and Dale, and he must make him pay." Martha said resentfully.

"Okay, you're in charge of leading the way, don't be impulsive!" Yang Hao admonished.

"I know, I won't hold you back."

..

An hour later, Yang Hao and the others came to a low cliff, where the air was humid and the life of the forest was particularly strong, making people feel very relaxed and natural.

Carefully climbing down the cliff, Yang Hao easily found a hole. Rather than a naturally formed cave, scratches are clearly visible on the rock walls, presumably dug by ghouls.

There was a dangerous area ahead, Yang Hao first helped Martha find a hiding place, and then summoned the undead wolf and sent it into the cave to explore.

Although he can't share vision with the undead wolf, Yang Hao can sense the breath of life with it, and the undead are extremely sensitive to the breath of the living.

According to the information fed back by the undead wolf, Yang Hao learned that there was more than one life in the cave, perhaps the so-called wizard had accomplices, or maybe it was those missing villagers.

According to Little Mark's diary, Yang Hao believes that the second scenario is more likely.

It was useless to say more, Yang Hao took the strong wind and searched for the route taken by the undead wolf into the cave. It didn't take long to reach the back of the rock where the undead wolf was hiding, and there were multiple life breaths in front of him.

Yang Hao looked at it, and his face sank like water in an instant.
