Section 46 Waiting for the wife to return
Nelson concluded that the man in front of him should not be dead.
Because if you die, you will become a skeleton, at least this long white gray hair can't be faked.
"What now?" Nelson and Aru looked at each other, and they greeted the man in turn, but there was no response.
"In my experience, it should be the problem with this sword." Nelson touched his chin and analyzed.
"Sword? Is it to draw this sword? Ai Lu stepped forward and prepared to draw her sword directly.
"Hey, hey, you're really bold, aren't you afraid of accidents?" Nelson was amazed at the girl's audacity, compared to the fainting of the spider when she had just met it.
"What's there to be afraid of, you don't necessarily have to eat this girl." Unimpressed, Eru grabbed the rusty iron sword.
With a click, the sword moved.
"Are you coming back to me?"
Nelson's pupils shrank, staring at the silver-haired weirdo with his face covered, and the voice seemed to come from him.
The strange man looked up, facing Nelson, then turned to Elu, then lowered his head again, and said, "It's not her, you go." ”
"What is yours and why can't I understand?" Ai Lu felt that the iron sword was cold, but after just touching it slightly, she felt this coolness enter her body, and immediately let go of her hand.
"This ...... Swordsman? I wanted to hire a groom, and the old gentleman from town introduced me here. Nelson asked tentatively.
"Isn't that group of ghosts in the town still going to disperse, what's the use of staying here, is it possible that the stupid lord will win the town back?" The strange man said with contempt.
"Well, if I heard me right, I should be the stupid lord you call me." The corners of Nelson's mouth twitched, but he didn't feel angry, after all, it was all a matter of the previous life.
The weirdo looked up again, this time brushing his left hair, as if trying to see Nelson's face.
Through the firelight, Nelson could clearly see that the strange man's pupils were silver-gray, and there were a few deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, obviously very old.
"There's no groom here, there's no living people in town, you go. No matter who governs the funeral town, there is a dead silence. ”
The strange man's voice sounded a little vicissitudes, and the narration was emotionless, and there was no sadness or anger to hear.
"Even if it's a dead city, it's Benjue's. Those who belong to Benjue need to be taken back after all. Nelson puffed out his chest as if he were taking an oath and said solemnly.
"It seems that the rumored lord of the nest will also be enlightened."
"Yes, Benjue has an idea. Would you like to be Benjue's groom? Nelson took a step closer and smiled, "I appreciate you." ”
The use of "I" means that Nelson has put down his identity and his tone is more sincere.
"Would you let a ghost be a groom?" The strange man brushed away his gray hair, his face was bloodless, even poisoned, his silver eyes were cloudy, and the two nasolabial folds on his face were as deep as a knife.
"Are you really a ghost!?" Eru exclaimed.
"I'm different from them." The weirdo looked directly at Nelson, and Nelson was not timid, and responded with an appreciative gaze.
In fact, at this moment, Nelson's eyes were glowing with blue light, and most of his attention had turned to the Hearthstone system.
There is an extra card in the "Collection", "Ghost Knight".
Ghost Knight acquisition conditions: You can achieve any of the following two items.
1. Take back the funeral town.
2. Find his wife, who has been missing for many years.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Nelson asked, using the clues provided by the Hearthstone system, "Are you waiting for your wife?" ”
The strange man's stiff face was visibly moved, and although the expression was not indistinguishable from surprise or nostalgia, Nelson had guessed correctly.
"Do you know my wife?"
"I don't know, it's just what you just said, and then I guessed." Nelson started what he does best, "a serious book of gibberish."
The weirdo was silent, as if thinking about something.
"Maybe you should go out for a walk with me. Your wife may be out there in trouble and you need to save her. ”
"She's a witch and she's powerful."
"No matter how strong a person is, he will encounter more difficult difficulties." Nelson quickly figured out the possibilities of the ghost knight's wife: the Nymph of the Lake, the Violet Teacher, the leader of the Cursed Sect, the Soul Priest of Orginny, and even the Holy Warrior who "looks at how many of my fingers are".
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Nelson continued to ask, "How long has your wife been gone?" ”
"I don't know. She helped me transform into this ghost form and left, and I was asleep for a while, for how long. All I knew was that when I woke up, the village was dead. ”
Elu stood beside Nelson and leaned in to add, "It is said that the ghost has a poor concept of time, and you see that he sits here all day long, and he probably has long forgotten how many years he has been waiting, maybe even hundreds of years. ”
But that's not what Nelson focused on, and he took a closer look at the weirdo's body. In Nelson's view, ghosts should be translucent, floating in the air, with no shadows.
The strange man was dressed in old armor, but the veins could be clearly seen from his neck.
The most important thing is that he has a shadow, just like a normal person.
"I'm not going to force you. But as a man, you shouldn't sit at home and wait for the woman to come back, but you should go out and get her back, right? ”
Nelson's words finally touched the strange man, and he slowly got up, his cloudy eyes revealing a hint of determination.
"I can be your groom, but if there are any clues about my beloved wife on the way, I will leave at any time."
"That's it?" Elu was a little surprised, she didn't expect the weirdo to change his mind so easily.
"It's a man's face problem, you don't understand." Nelson smiled knowingly and asked, "What should Your Excellency be called?" ”
"Snuffin. Korda, you can call me 'Fourth', that's what everyone used to call me. ”
"My name is Nelson. Kim, thank you for accepting my invitation. Don't worry, I won't restrict your freedom, just be a companion on your journey. Nelson couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw that Snowphon was not ready to draw the iron sword stuck in the ground.
"The sword is old." Snowphon turned to grasp the hilt of his sword, and heard a crisp sound of "bang", and the hilt was disconnected from the blade, and the blade of the sword inserted in the ground quickly turned into dust and turned into a pile of iron powder.
"It seems that you have indeed waited too long here, fourth." Nelson stopped focusing on Iron Sword, but thought of another interesting thing.
"By the way, fourth, I have a test I want to confirm, can you stand still and don't move?" At this point, Nelson's hands rubbed out two more fireballs.
Snowphon didn't know what Nelson wanted to do, but he really stood there and nodded.
"Bang! Bang! Two fireballs shot straight at Snuffen.
"Oh my God! Nelson, what are you doing! Eru was about to walk down the stairs, only to see Nelson suddenly fire two fist-sized fireballs at the newly hired groom.
Snowphon watched the fireball rush towards him, not panicking, and not trying to dodge.
"Whew! Swish! Twice, seeing that the fireball was about to hit Snuff, it suddenly changed its trajectory and passed by him.
Nelson pointed his finger, froze the deviating fireball, and said to himself, "Sure enough, it's magic immunity, tsk, it turns out that the real-life version of the effect is like this." ”
