After more than ten days along the way, the journey to the Holy City was already halfway through, and it was only a week away from the royal capital of the Banya Empire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Isn't there anything exciting to do?" Thinking that he was about to return to the royal capital, and thinking that his comfortable life was about to end, Hong Yangtian sighed. For his idle and boring behavior of looking for trouble, a mercenary who often travels from south to north immediately gave an answer.

The mercenary said in an eerie tone: "To talk about the thrill, it is rumored that there is a ghost in the nearby lake, and many people have not seen it again since they approached the lake at night for hundreds of years, and everyone said that they were dragged under the water and drowned. ”

Hong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Then I'll go and tell Old Man Simon, let's stop and find out." ”

Luo Rin, who was learning to paint landscapes with the otaku master outside, hurriedly said, "Although I can understand that you want to experience something interesting before returning to the royal capital, I am in a hurry, so can you come back next time I have time?" "The Pretender Investigation Report in Luo Rin's hand should be handed over to the Holy See as soon as possible, if it weren't for him to go to the Holy See alone, it would be inconvenient, otherwise Luo Rin would leave alone. Although Yun Lan also has some relationship with the Holy See, she is not a high-level priest of the Holy See after all, and she is still not at ease to hand over things to him.

Matthew also debunked the superstition for everyone, saying: "Later, the local residents invited the strong to investigate what kind of resentful spirits were, at first the investigators thought that there were harmful monsters under the lake, but the water mage sent the magic pets to search the entire lake and found that there were only some weak and docile monsters in the water, and there were a lot of human bones at the bottom of the lake and there were no traces of being bitten. In the end, the answer to the legend of the lake wraith was that because of the growth of a moss that was very slippery and mud-like when exposed to water, the missing people actually fell into the water and drowned. ”

The mercenary who had told the rumors as ghost stories couldn't hold back his face, and defended: "It's not that simple, I'll tell you a story, this is what I heard from a dead buddy." He said that he had encountered a paranormal situation around this mysterious lake near us, and he said that when it happened, the scenery around him had not changed, but suddenly all of a sudden the people around him were gone. And he couldn't run out, so after a few days and nights, he finally couldn't help but want to commit suicide by jumping into the river, but when he regretted crawling out of the river, he managed to escape, and he saw a human being. And the man who traveled with him was never seen again. ”

Matthew smiled contemptuously and said, "Don't make up a buddy just to create an atmosphere, I've heard your story, and there is an explanation for that supernatural event: the people who traveled with him owed a lot of money, so they hypnotized him in order to disappear from now on." ”

"No matter what world there are no ghosts, the undead are in hell, and if there are resentful spirits in the Divine Grace Continent, it will be a dereliction of duty for the god of death and the god of life." Luo Rin was painting the scenery outside and listening to the ghost stories inside, remembering the incident of gathering people in the dormitory to tell ghost stories when she lived in the school, and her mood became happy, and the pen in her hand was much more handy.

"Master, look at how the light and shadow of my painting are handled?" Luo Rin quickly drew a map of the distant mountains, turned around and handed it to the otaku mage to look at, but he didn't see the otaku mage.

Could it be that when you see a beautiful girl on the side of the road, you can't suppress your desire to create and follow you? Luo Rin originally thought so, but when he looked at the convoy behind him, he found that the convoy behind him was gone, and the horse in the carriage where La Rohrin was was also missing. And just now everyone in the carriage was telling ghost stories and it was very lively, but now there is no sound in the carriage. Suddenly, Luo Rin felt a chill rush up, obviously he was still with the big army a few minutes ago.

"It must just be that we went wrong, and the buddy inside suddenly got bored so he didn't speak." Luo Rin comforted himself, jumped down from the roof of the carriage and greeted inside: "Hey, we are going the wrong way, someone who knows the way will come and take it." ”

However, the carriage was empty, not to mention an old mercenary who came out to lead the way with a troubled face, and now even half a figure could not be seen.

"Hell yes!" It's so quiet, it's like being cut off from the world. At this moment, the ghost stories he had seen before filled Luo Rin's mind like an explosion for a moment, Luo Rin originally thought that he was not afraid of ghosts, but when he really encountered a supernatural event, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

"Calm down, calm down." Luo Rin leaned in to know that he urgently needed to calm down and think now, but he just couldn't calm down! This is different from a living enemy, as long as a living enemy can be killed, there is no need to be afraid, but ghosts are different, who knows what it is, there is no unity in ghost stories, okay!

Suddenly, Luo Rin remembered something, and immediately took out the cross necklace and found the dormant turtle in the backpack. Because Clay's habit of climbing shoulders made Luo Rin feel a little troublesome, so Luo Rin hadn't let him out for more than ten days, but now Luo Rin felt that he was so witty, if he released it earlier, he might not even see Clay.

"Wake up, it's been more than ten days." Luo Rin poured water from the water bottle he had brought with him through the hole in the turtle shell to Clay's head.

Irritated by the cold water, Clay opened his eyes, poked his head out, felt a little thirsty, and fed the water from his face to his mouth with his paws.

Seeing Clay wake up, Luo Rin calmed down a lot, and finally had a living creature with him. After calming down, Luo Rin was finally able to face the current situation calmly.

"Although I haven't seen a ghost or a ghost, and I don't know what it's capable of, but since it didn't kill me in the first place, it means that I still have hope of life. Assuming the mercenary is true, then there is a way to escape, and maybe I can try to jump into the lake. In fact, if you think about it from another angle, it is better to encounter a resentful spirit than to be trapped by other evil people, and if you can do something under the nose of the strong person in the team, that person's strength must be far superior to mine, and there is no hope at all. ”

Luo Rin took out Clay's food from his backpack and stuffed it into Clay's gaping mouth, and then put Clay on his shoulder, which was also reassuring.

Luo Rin picked up the notebook and pen that had just fallen on the ground due to fear, and the entire carriage was put into his backpack. The notebook and pen are to record the terrain of a place, so as not to run into the ghost hitting the wall and go around in circles without knowing it, and the carriage is mainly Luo Rin is worried that the carriage will disappear after he leaves, so he puts it away as a place to rest.

"Let me take a look." Luo Rin took out the local map from his waist pocket, and since he fell off the cliff, he had developed a habit of asking for a map everywhere he went.

"Let's follow the map to see if this is where we were before."
