013, ghost
Arras came back at dinner with good news. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"An ancient castle that may be haunted by ghosts." Looking at the mission instructions that Arras brought back, Adam felt a little happy.
To be honest, Adam had also considered promoting healing services directly in Falcon City, receiving remuneration and increasing his class level.
However, considering that this is too high-profile and easy to attract people with intentions, he can only regretfully put this plan on hold for the time being.
More important is one of the things that Arras mentions to Adam.
'The Southern Council of Nobles has the support of the Church of the Dawn, a church that believes in the Lord of the Dawn, and the priests are best at healing and defensive magic. However, they do not have a market in the Federation of Seven Cities, and there is even a ban on anyone believing in the Lord of the Dawn, such as Goldenberg. ’
It's also worth noting that the Church of the Dawn has a strong relationship with the Silver Tower built by Mage Yuppler Shangbai. Sir, there is a good chance that you will be mistaken by the Falcon City higher-ups for allies of the Church of Dawn causing trouble in the city. ’
The Silver Tower is an alliance of white mages on Yupla to protect the interests of the White Mages on Yuple.
The White Mage is already good at healing and defense, and is basically a natural opponent of dark and undead creatures. These characteristics are in line with the philosophy of the Dawn Church, so the two have always had a good relationship and have cooperated with each other.
Of course, this information was also told to Adam by Arras.
Because Adam still didn't know anything about the Silver Tower. Arras had also resigned himself to his fate, and he could quickly say whatever he knew if Adam needed it. What's more, although he has curiosity, it is buried deep in his heart. This was very satisfying to Adam.
After listening to Arras's explanation, Adam had the feeling that he had chosen the wrong side.
If it was as Arras said, he shouldn't have come to Falcon City, but to the Southern Council of Nobles. In the Church of the Dawn's sphere of influence, he, the fake White Mage, should be more popular.
However, the top priority now is to improve the professional level, and even if he leaves Falcon City, he has a place to be chic.
"Yes, sir." Anas had apparently done his homework and told Adam exactly what was going on about the castle.
"I inquired with Old John in the tavern that the castle was originally owned by Baron Charles of Falcon City. But a year ago, the cries and screams of women could be heard in the castle in the middle of the night, and several maids were found dead in the room at dawn. Baron Charles once hired several mages to destroy the ghosts, but none of them returned. ”
"Poor Baron Charles is no longer young, frightened by the ghost, and has long since moved out of the castle. Because he had already lost two mages and several warriors, no other adventurer had dared to take on this task so far. Are you sure you want to accept this assignment, sir? ”
"Of course, otherwise I'll let you inquire about the mission." What Adam needs most now is this kind of quest about dark and undead creatures, the commission is secondary, and the key is to purify them and increase the class level.
Now he is a priest with a career level of 3, which is equivalent to the middle level of black iron in this world. He was able to gain a restraint advantage against dark and undead creatures, with Jerome being the best example of this.
But what if the enemy isn't a dark and undead creature? The world is not as stable and harmonious as modern society, and strength is crucial.
Judging from the information given by Arras, the naked power of the declaration is justice. That's why he's in a hurry to move up the professional ranks.
Only by moving up the class level can he learn new Templar spells and, of course, recruit new classes.
"But there's something you're mistaken." Adam shoved the last slice of bread into his mouth and wiped his mouth with a napkin. "I'm not alone in accepting the mission, tomorrow you will set off with me."
***
The next morning, Adam finally arrived at the mission description location with seven militiamen and Arras.
It was an ancient castle on the outskirts of Falcon City, built against a hill. I don't know if it's an illusion, it's daytime, but the gray-black façade and high spire make this castle look like a crime scene in a ghost movie.
Halfway up the mountain, Adam felt a dark aura emanating from the castle. Sure enough, there are ghosts!
Arras was a little frightened, but thinking that he was now a follower of Adam, the White Mage, and that a day earlier he had shamelessly compared himself to Charlemagne the Conqueror, he had to be bold enough to lead the way with the two militiamen.
Compared to the contradictions of Arras, Adam is much more calm.
It's not that he's not afraid of ghosts at all, in fact, he's scared to death in modern society. But Adam had now learned spells, especially Templar spells that had a great deal of counter-effect on ghosts and the like.
The gate of the Push Gate Castle was pitch black inside.
Arras's voice trembled, "Sir, are we really going in now?" The mission description states that the ghost appears at night. ”
"What are you afraid of, confident men are the bravest." As he spoke, Adam summoned seven spirits of light from the templar space.
"I'm just worried about coming for nothing." As if to prove that he was not afraid, Arras gritted his teeth and was the first to enter the castle.
The football-sized bodies of the Lights suddenly emitted a faint halo that looked like a large lamp.
Illumination, one of the three spells that the Spirits will meet. Seven spirits of light entered the gate, and the soft light emanating from their bodies illuminated the ancient castle.
Enter the castle in turn, which is the lobby located on the first floor. The hall, which was supposed to be magnificent, looked a little eerie, and the exquisite oil paintings were even covered with cobwebs, which was very dilapidated.
"Shane, Holy Shield!"
A milky white light appeared from the seven light spirits and fell on everyone, and there was an extra divine shield in front of them.
This shield Arras had seen on the night of Jerome's attack, and was able to defend against a frontal attack by a Bloodline. Of course, some of this is due to the relationship between attributes, but it is also enough to explain the extraordinary nature of the divine shield.
Thinking about it, Arras seemed much more confident.
"Sir, shall we take a look at the first floor first or go directly to the second floor where the ghosts haunt us." According to the mission description, the ghost has been roaming the second floor, which was once the residence of the servants in the castle. Several maids died in the rooms on the second floor.
"Let's go straight to the second floor." In Adam's induction, the strongest aura of darkness was on the second floor, apparently the ghost of the mission.
The light flew to the front to light the way, and Adam led the group to the second floor. Just as the last militiaman stepped on the second floor, a gust of wind blew through, and Adam saw a woman's figure emerge from the darkness.
Phantom!
She had an illusory transparent green form, a distorted face, and an equally illusory tattered dress, which looked very intimidating. Through her body, you can even see the rooms in the back.
The ghost saw Adam's group, a hideous grin appeared on his distorted face, and he giggled, then opened his mouth and let out a shrill scream.
Adam felt that if there was such a thing as glass, it must have all been shattered by the howl of the ghost by now. Her screams were so torturous.
Without Adam's orders, the Lights had already begun to attack.
Two rays of holy light emerged from the light spirit's body and landed on the ghost with unmistakable accuracy. After only holding on for a few seconds, the ghost's already transparent and illusory form dissipated and was completely purified.
Rubbing his ears, Arras asked with some surprise, "Is this the end?" ”
"No, it's just the beginning."
The howls of ghosts echoed in the castle at this time, and several shrill cries echoed in the darkness.
Then Adam saw ten ghosts, both male and female, emerging from the darkness, surrounding Adam and his party. Adam noticed that two of the ghosts were very solid, and they were holding an illusory wand.
An advanced form of the Wraith, Wraith!
