Chapter 16: The Dusty Past V
As the afternoon sun shone on the grass and the shadows of the surrounding woods shifted, Locke sipped the black tea on the table and enjoyed the afternoon, ignoring Miss Gera who came over with a dark face.
"You're very laid-back." Gera walked over with a dark face and said pointedly, "But if you knew that this place was once haunted, would it be so leisurely?" ”
"I think if they encounter ghosts, they should be afraid of me." Locke stood up and looked at Miss Gera in front of him, since this came to him, I am afraid that the opportunity to rest for an afternoon should not be there.
Gera snorted coldly, "I don't know. ”
Locke looked at the paladin in front of him, this girl was tall, with a good face, and the holy light energy in her body had just resisted the elite level, if she wanted to reach the elite level at this level, she was afraid that it would take several times the effort of her age to achieve it. It can be said that with such a talent, wisdom can be regarded as the elite of the elite even in the Holy Light Cathedral of Stormwind City.
"Locke, I admit that you have elite-level combat power, but this is not a pleasure for you to relax in Riptide Castle, you must know that this place is haunted."
"What's more, that Prince Garin also has bad intentions towards Pastor Laurena, and may have the intention of harming him."
Locke shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not a big deal, although Prince Garin has four elite-level combat powers, but in my opinion, it's just a joke. ”
"What's more, not all ghosts have elite-level strength, as long as they are handled properly, there will be no damage at all."
"You have to trust me in this matter, I'm an expert."
Miss Gera was speechless, and Locke's barrage of words choked him back like a machine gun.
Looking at the appearance of Jera about to get angry in front of him, Locke laughed dryly, and then stood up, in fact, in the castle where he lived in Riptide Castle, he felt a vague breath of death, he simply walked in front of Miss Jera, and then said slowly: "Do you want to check here?" ”
"After all, the smell of death is thick, and it's not good for the living?"
Jera looked at Locke in front of him and asked suspiciously, "Living?" ”
"Nothing." Locke put aside the topic and pointed to the castle beside him: "This castle has been built for hundreds of years, and it is actually not surprising that there may be some undead living in it, why don't you accompany me in to find out if there is any goal of purification?" ”
"That's fine, lead the way." Gera said dryly.
……………
Fort Riptide, once the capital of the Human Empire, is now only a pile of tattered stones that tell the story of its former glory. In this castle that was once bustled by people, thousands of years later, there are only two figures in the dim candlelight.
Locke walked down the hallway in white skeletal armor, feeling the breath of death in the air as he walked. The scale of the walls and stones gives a glimpse of the prosperity of Riptide Castle back then, but the passage of time has made these huge tombs.
"There are no ghouls, and there are no zombies." Locke walked to a house and stopped, stroking the bronze infusion door with his hand.
Gera nodded in agreement, she and Locke had just checked most of the castle, and although there was a strong sense of death, there were no undead creatures "and there were no necromancers living at all." ”
Locke glanced at Miss Gera.
"If you knew how strong the necromancer was around you, you would never say that."
Locke pushed open the door, and was greeted by a bathroom, but in the cobwebs in the corner, it was to be expected that it had been uninhabited for a long time.
Locke walked in first, it was in this bathroom, the breath of the necromancer was very strong, which made him frown slightly, although he was a death knight class, he was a mortal, and it would definitely not be good for his body to be contaminated with too much undead aura.
He fanned his nose with his hand and said casually, "Geral, do you know how many years Riptide Castle has existed?" ”
Gera said dissatisfiedly: "There is nothing to say about this, about thousands of years, who remembers the specific time?" ”
Locke nodded, casually pointing to the swimming pool not far away, which was infused with bronze, "But the necromantic aura that appeared in this room has only been around five or six years. ”
"I want you to check if there have been many major events in Riptide Fort in the last few years, and it is obvious that this necromancer has a deep grudge."
Jera frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Can't you kill it directly?" ”
"Ghosts aren't something you can kill if you want to." Locke had a smile on his face, the ghost is not a very strong necromancer, as a support class of the Scourge Legion, the biggest role is as a detective. As long as an undead doesn't want to appear in front of humans anymore, it can't be caught at all.
Thinking of this, Locke couldn't help but observe this room, he didn't have the means of a necromancer to control the necromancer, if he couldn't satisfy the ghost's wishes, then it would be a fool's dream to get a ghost subordinate.
"Why don't you go to Laurena and ask if anything has happened in this castle?"
Gera nodded, the paladin has always been unaccustomed to evil, although she herself has not found any obvious evil monsters in this castle, but Locke has a way, instead of being in a hurry here, it is better to listen to Locke's words and go back and ask Laurena what happened here.
It was at this time that the bells of Fort Riptide remembered, and the crisp sound reminded everyone in the city that dusk had come.
After breaking up Gera, Locke walked around the bathroom three times, and found an engrams in the pool.
This engram is very expensive, and is generally used by nobles, and it is not low to think that the owner of this bathroom once owned it, but for Locke, the status hierarchy is just a theory invented by mortals to maintain their own ruling class.
After thinking about several possibilities in his mind, Locke put away the engram, and in the original plan, a ghost could be said to be a great help to him, and being able to recover this undead would allow him to accomplish a lot of his plan.
He had to deal with the ghost as soon as possible, in fact, Riptide Castle had no secrets in Locke's eyes, and although this ghost was unexpected by him, it was still under his control. After defeating an elite paladin, Locke has become a key target of Riptide Castle, if not living in the castle with Laurena.
Locke knew there must be several people watching him.
But by this time, the night light had quietly appeared on the earth, and Locke had already run to an empty house and opened the engram.
