Chapter 4 - Wandering Spirits (Recommend, Attention, Collection)
After passing through the foul-smelling civilian area, Lu Ming and the others came to the place where the undead were hiding, the BrΓΌnnhilde jewelry store.
"Yes, yes." Dix glanced up, then nodded to Lu Ming.
"Let's go inside, then."
As soon as they stepped into the Brunhilde jewelry store, Lu Ming and the others smelled a smell of herbs, which made Lu Ming feel a little strange. It's a jewelry store, but the store smells of herbs, and if you don't know, you'll think it's a drugstore!
"What do you want to buy?" An old man in the store who seemed to be the shopkeeper with gray hair and glasses immediately stepped forward and asked as soon as he saw Lu Ming and the others.
"Oh, we're from the vigilante. The pastor of a church came to us and said that your son had lost some of his memories inexplicably, and he suspected some of the curse, so let's come to him and ask him to hurry up and go to church. In order not to make the shopkeeper suspicious, Lu Ming rushed ahead of Dirks and Flenn and started talking serious nonsense.
Hearing what Lu Ming said, the shopkeeper thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "You don't need to hide it from me, I already know everything about him." Come with me. β
After speaking, he walked to the inner courtyard of the store.
Seeing this, Lu Ming had no choice but to follow.
It's just that as soon as a few of them walked into the inner courtyard, they saw dead bodies on the ground, although the corpses of intelligent creatures such as people, elves, and dwarves were basically the corpses of some animals. But the smell of a large pile of corpses piled up there was unbearable.
After only smelling it, Lu Ming almost fainted, and immediately returned to the store without saying a word.
Glancing at Lu Ming, whose face was blue, the shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "This is to prevent him from continuing to lose his memory, so he bought a lot of domestic animals and killed them for him." However, this method only works at the beginning, and it doesn't work much later. β
"Is the smell of herbs in the store just to cover up the smell of rotting corpses?" Lu Ming covered his mouth and nose, not to smell the disgusting smell, and not to look at the almost decomposed animal carcasses as much as possible, so as not to vomit it himself.
"I'm going to call it out, it's already like this anyway." After thinking about it, instead of angering Lu Ming, the so-called sheriff, it was better to go and call his son out of the shopkeeper, and walked into a room in the inner courtyard, preparing to take his son out and let Lu Ming and the others take him away.
But after waiting for a while, and no one came out, Dirks walked over to take a look inside.
However, before he could get there, a blood-stained dagger stabbed out of the room and stabbed straight at Dirks' throat.
Dirks, who didn't expect this situation, was startled, and hurriedly dodged to the side, narrowly dodging the sword, and escaped the fate of being pierced through the throat by a sword.
At this time, Lu Ming and the others began to attack the owner of the short sword.
Dark green, almost dry to the skin and bones, the two eyes have lost their lustre, no different from the eyes of a dead fish, and at a glance you can see that this person has been completely turned into a living corpse.
"Seed machine gun!" Lu Ming would not be polite to the living corpse, coupled with the blood constantly dripping from the short sword in the man's hand, it was enough for Lu Ming to kill this faint wandering soul who killed his father.
A series of seeds were shot at that geist by Lu Ming.
Like the Hyde Knight in the dungeon, I don't know if it's the geist's innate sense of battle or what. As the Seed Machine Gun struck it, it suddenly swung its short sword in its hand, cutting off most of the seeds of the Seed Machine Gun. Only a small part of the seed hit its body, shattering bone by bone.
In contrast to the Knight of Hyde, this geist has neither the protection of armor nor the sturdy Hyde Straight Sword. The short sword in its hand broke into two after blocking Lu Ming's seed machine gun.
Seeing this, Flon and Dix immediately rushed forward, and one of them grabbed the geist's arm and broke it with all his might, only to hear a click, and broke the geist's arm. At the same time, he kicked the inside of the geist's knee hard, kicking it to its knees in an instant.
Looking at the geysm that was suppressed by the two of them, Fren and Dex, and wanted to bite people with their teeth as much as possible, Lu Ming didn't know how to take it away for a while. After all, a geist is really a bit dangerous, and if you don't do it, you will die!
And at this moment, a strong man dressed in a gorgeous dress but not as gorgeous as Fren walked in from outside the store with a few chains, and quickly joined the ranks of suppressing the geist.
After sticking an iron chain in the geist's mouth, the strong man, Dix and Fren quickly locked the geist with the chain, and then sat on the ground and gasped heavily.
"I said, can you please not sit next to a pile of rotting corpses? It's okay if you're not disgusting, but aren't you afraid of the plague? Seeing that the strong man who didn't know who it was was sitting in the courtyard with Dirks and Fren, Lu Ming pinched his nose and kindly reminded him.
"There's a plague?" As soon as they heard Lu Ming's reminder, the three of them slipped away and forcibly dragged the spirit into the jewelry store quickly, only to look back at the corpses in the yard with palpitations.
Seeing this, Lu Ming also had to sigh that people in the other world are bold, and such disgusting scenes can be seen.
Probably remembering that he hadn't introduced himself yet, the strong man glanced at the pile of animal carcasses in the yard slightly, then saluted Lu Ming and said, "My name is Kailar, and I am your adjutant, Your Excellency Sheriff Lu Ming." β
"I still have an adjutant? I thought I was just a temporary worker! Lu Ming smiled helplessly and a little desperately, then pointed to the geist spirit on the ground that was clattering the chains, and asked Kailar, "However, how did you know that we were here?" β
"It was the Rafam guy who came looking for me. Because of Viscount Hatu's threat, he was scared and wanted me to keep him. So I found out that you and Lord Furren were here to catch this guy, so I rushed over with a few chains. Although Kailar's answer was very reasonable, it made Lu Ming have a slight suspicion in his heart.
"Okay." Lu Ming nodded slightly, and then walked out: "Dix, Fren take that geist, let's go to the lord's mansion to make an errand." Also, Kaylar went to call some people to get rid of all the corpses in the backyard of the store, and remember to tell them to take a shower when they were done to avoid getting sick! It doesn't matter to me whether you die or not, but I don't want to pass it on to me! β
"Yes! Your Excellency! βββ
In the evening, Viscount Hatu and his son came to the lord's palace to settle accounts with Yusaha, the daughter of Countess Luyanali.
"Your Lord! I don't know how you decided about your daughter letting my son take off his clothes in public!? Although he was a little afraid of Luyanali's majesty, Viscount Hatu still said righteously: "If you can't give me an explanation. Then I will go to the Grand Duke of Ramtes and let the Grand Duke give a fair decision! β
"Have you decided that the Grand Guild will change me, the earl, because of your son?"
"He may not change the lord of Nivelheim, but he also won't let a woman who is nothing beat a true nobleman!"
"You mean to put my daughter to death in the Grand Duke?"
"Yes!"
"Huh! Don't forget, Hatu, that you are my viscount after all. I want to kill you, you can't run! β
"Perhaps. But our family has been a nobleman for generations! And you're just an upstart! Without the support of our nobles, do you think your family would still be able to continue to be a noble family? β
Hearing Viscount Hatu's threat, Luyanali's eyes narrowed, looked at Viscount Hatu's old face, smiled coldly, and then said: "I have already asked people to arrest your son's entourage, I believe that he will be found soon, and then it will not be my daughter's business." And it's just your son's business! β
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing this, Viscount Hatu couldn't help frowning.
The countess, however, did not explain anything to him, but only looked out the door.
Seeing this, Viscount Hatu and his son couldn't help but look out the door. As a result, they saw Furren enter with two servants carrying something covered in black cloth.
"Mother, a servant of the son of Viscount Hatu, has been found. It's just"
"Just what?"
"It's just that he's already a living corpse." Furren lifted the black cloth that covered the object, revealing a spirit that had been broken off and chained, not much like a mummy.
Seeing the horrible and pathetic appearance of the geist, Viscount Hatu and his son were involuntarily startled, and took a step back in unison.
All this was seen by the countess. Seeing that she smiled coldly, she said to Viscount Hatu: "I now suspect that your son is the culprit of this entourage becoming like this, and he must be interrogated properly!" β
Viscount Hatu, who was a little afraid that Luyanali might mess with herself, immediately pretended to be angry and shouted, "Your Excellency! Pull a monster out casually like this, and say that it is my son's entourage, I'm afraid that he wants to frame me and my son!? β
"So, what about this?" Knowing that Viscount Hatu might bite back, Fren took out a coat of arms from his arms and threw it on the ground.
As soon as he saw the coat of arms, Viscount Hatu's son was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, so that Viscount Hatu, who still wanted to defend himself, had no choice but to give up this son, who was not very good among many sons, snorted coldly to himself, and walked away.
As soon as Viscount Hatu left, his son was naturally immediately arrested by the people of the lord's palace and locked up in the dungeon.
However, when only the Countess and Fren were left in the room, the Countess suddenly asked, "What is the matter with this coat of arms?" β
"It was stolen from the black market by a dwarven friend of mine. Because the son of Viscount Hattu has a shop in the black market, and the people in it all wear the coat of arms of the Hattu family. So it's easy to get. β
"It's not your idea. It's Lu Ming's, right? β
"Yes. He said that only in this way could Viscount Hatu have nothing to say. βββ
Watch pp, don't play anymore, I'll play Black Soul obediently. Finally, I'm going to kill the two princes o(β§vβ¦)o
