Chapter 102: Haunted Manor (1)

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Hearing the woman say this, Ryan also became interested, and motioned for her to continue.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled, looked around, then glanced at the cavalry guy again, turned and walked slowly towards the alley.

"Billy, I'm sorry for you today, you can go back first." The woman's posture was obvious, and Ryan certainly understood what she wanted to do, and after giving the cavalry an eviction order, he followed forward.

"Master Mage." Seeing that Ryan wanted to leave him, Billy suddenly became a little anxious, "Scott Harbor is mixed, and the adventurers here are very shrewd, don't fall for her." ”

"Don't worry, I have my own measure, this woman, I can't help us." With a wave of his hand, Ryan walked forward without looking back.

Although the information obtained by reconnaissance is pitifully small due to the lack of contact, it is sufficient. People who are loiterers as their main profession are generally team scouts, and they are disadvantaged in head-on combat.

With the strength of Ryan and the others, this woman really can't help them.

Soon, the woman led the way into the deep alley, where the stench of the gutter and the fishy sea breeze blended together, and the extremely unpleasant smell made Lanier almost vomit. Ryan was fine, but he couldn't stand the smell for a long time.

"Where the hell do you want to take us?" The noise had long since passed, and Ryan saw that the woman had no intention of stopping, and became a little impatient for a while.

The forward movement froze, and the woman turned around: "Okay, it should be almost here now." ”

"As I guessed you, I'm an adventurer." patted the long sword on her waist, and the look on the woman's face suddenly became a little heavy.

"My companion and I took on a task some time ago, just to help the client find something, plus it's not far from here, and the pay is not cheap, so we'll go ahead."

"We didn't do anything in advance because we were so dismissive."

"I didn't expect that manor to be so weird...

Speaking of this, the woman's face was tinged with sadness. Seeing that she was immersed in grief, Ryan frowned and asked, "What's the weird method?" ”

"Haunted!" The woman's deep voice matched the silence around her, as if a cold wind lingered around several people.

"After what I've learned these days, that place was originally a baron's private domain, which was both a winery and a farm."

But then something strange happened, and the maids in the manor died tragically, which caused panic for a while, and even the baron's ladies disappeared one after another. During this period, the baron invited many priests and mages, but either could not find the source of the problem at all, or disappeared at the slightest sign of the problem. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer women in the manor, some servants who were afraid of death began to flee the territory one by one. ”

"Seeing that the inhabitants of the territory were becoming more and more scarce, when the baron had no choice but to move out of the territory, a traveling warrior monk appeared on his manor."

"After being observed by the warrior monk, he thinks it's a lich at work."

"Lich?" Ryan's brows almost fused together, his face full of incredulity.

"Don't be nervous, the warrior monk finally helped the baron find and deal with the lich. However, before he could find the Lich's Death Box, the Warrior Monk died of his injuries. ”

"If that place is so dangerous, why don't the nearby priests purify that area? And what did your client ask you to find? Hearing this, Ryan also felt tricky, as well as deep doubts.

"After knowing that there were lichs there, many priests and paladins had been there, but nothing else was found except for the strong negative energy. In addition, the manor was located in the middle of nowhere, and after the baron died of illness, he was gradually forgotten by others. Shaking her head, self-blame and guilt appeared on the woman's face, "The client said that he was a servant who had worked in the castle, but before leaving the territory, he left a chest carved with morning glory in the castle, and did not mention the slightest danger, and it was precisely because of this that we were ready to make some extra money, but I didn't expect it... It's all my fault... ”

Seeing that the woman was in low spirits, Ryan patted her on the shoulder as a comfort. Before embarking on a mission, team scouts must not only consider the dangers ahead, but also prepare for the mission. She is right, this kind of mistake is indeed her responsibility, and now that her companion is trapped, she should feel guilty.

Seeing that she was sincere, Ryan's guard in his heart also let go slightly. When her companion is in distress, she looks for help as soon as possible, and Ryan's strength is similar to her, even if she is in trouble halfway, she has a high chance of escaping.

Emphasis on love and righteousness, but not blindness. As long as what this woman said was true, she should be a qualified scout. After the last battle, Ryan has a deep understanding and recognition of the word team.

"Tell me what you encountered after entering the manor?" Knowing the general situation about the same thing, coupled with the intention of making friends, Ryan opened his mouth and continued to ask.

Who knew that the woman shook her head slightly, with an embarrassed face: "Strictly speaking, we didn't enter the manor. ”

"What do you mean?"

"When we arrived at the location of the estate, we only found a vacant lot. I knew it might be an illusion, but when I started singing the Spellbreaker to channel the magic, a crowd of undead suddenly surrounded us. ”

"What undead?"

"Skeletons, ghosts, death knights... In short, many, many, too many to count. Stretching out her hand and gesturing in front of her, recalling the previous scene, the woman's face showed a hint of fear.

"Death Knight?" His pupils shrank slightly, and Ryan already had the thought of refusing in his heart, "It stands to reason that this is a dead end, how did you escape?" ”

"I don't know very well, but when the monsters charged, I happened to sing the Spellbreaker Song, and everything around me disappeared, and I appeared in the center of the manor, and my companions and the monsters were gone."

"You're saying it's all hallucinations?"

"Yes, I've asked for help, I've been back a few times, and it hasn't happened. Of course, I didn't find my companion either. At this point, the woman's moving eyes gradually appeared mist.

"If that's what you say, I don't think we can help you much." After thinking about it for a moment, Ryan was about to reject her proposal, "We're not very good at illusions. ”

"No, please!" Seeing Ryan turn around and want to leave, the woman grabbed Ryan's arm, and her face already showed a pleading look, "It's rare for me to find a mid-level mage like you in the port, please, help me!" ”

"They are my friends, they all blame me, it is because of me that they disappeared, without their whereabouts, I will never be at peace for the rest of my life! I beg you ... ”

Seeing that the woman was about to kneel down with her arm tugging at her, Ryan hurriedly helped her up and kept tactfully saying that he was limited in his ability to refuse her request. On the side, Lanier saw that the woman's tears had already flowed, and suddenly softened, and he elbowed Ryan: "Or, let's help her, right?" ”

"It's not that I don't help, the point is that our strength is limited, and where the lich is rampant, the devil knows what is there." Ryan still shook his head, he knew all too well how terrible the lich was, and no one could guarantee what kind of spell traps would be left behind in that manor.

"Let's take a look, didn't she say? She has returned many times without encountering any danger, so we should be careful and there will be no problems. ”

"That's right! Yes, please, if there is a problem, I will not let you be in danger! When the woman saw Lanier on her side, she was immediately grateful, and even took out the Night Shadow Foot directly.

Looking at the gray plant in front of him in a daze, Ryan's brows tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and finally he couldn't stand the expectant eyes of Lanier and the woman, sighed heavily, and nodded.
