Chapter 31: Dusk Part III
Kaelsa held a stick to the ground, but he had learned the art of foresight with Sybil for a while.
Although it is not yet possible to interfere with cause and effect, it is still possible to let him gather intelligence.
"We're getting out of here." Kaelsa was a little at the top of the stick, and some magic scattered on the ground like water, and then the stick shook a few times, slowly falling to the right of the crossroads.
That's the direction, and Kaelsa can only hope that this spell prediction is accurate enough and the goal is relatively easy to complete. At his level, he can only get to the point of getting the target hint. Fortunately, there is also a Lori with explosive combat power to follow him, otherwise he would probably get a bento soon.
A surging black ribbon erupted from the direction pointed by the stick, and Kaelsa felt furry just by looking at it.
While Sophie could treat the thing as nothing, that didn't mean Kaelsa could do that. Just now he saw with his own eyes that the thing directly cut off a floor, if it weren't for Sophie's quick reaction and grabbed it with one hand and tore it off directly, it is estimated that he would have become a headless corpse by now.
He carefully observed the structure of this sacrificial array, and to be honest, it was very similar to the Lich Dietrich's Scourge Array, and did not use the most common circular base array, directly outlining the five magic power occurrence points to create a pentagram formation. At the same time, the corpses that had not yet been devoured around them began to rise from the ground, swaying around the village like walking corpses.
Kaelsa even suspected that some necromancer was experimenting here, and if he could talk to him directly, he might be able to spare himself. But that's just for the sake of thinking, necromancers don't usually do it that way.
The mages don't believe in gods, and they don't worship them.
Sophie, who is holding a homemade mace in front of her, opens the way, her slender arms have explosive power, and the petite Lori hugs the heads of the zombies that emerge one by one like whack-a-mole. Lori, bathed in blood, looks quite like crazy Alice.
"That's it." Kelsa looked at the sky-high black pulp, and the ghost knew what it was made of.
If Charles had seen it, he would have quickly figured out what it was. Similar to Little Red Riding Hood's cigarette arm, Dietrich spent a lot of energy studying the Twilight Evil God, and the Undead Scourge and Little Red Riding Hood were one of the results.
But before Kaelsa and Little Red Riding Hood could attack, a familiar figure stepped out of the courtyard.
"Kelly!?" Kaelsa was quite surprised, he didn't expect to meet a living person, and he still knew him.
"Huh? You're not gone yet. The woman in the green robe looked at Kaelsa charmingly, and the long brown hair that was originally tied behind her head was also all in the direction, not thinking about the simple widow before, "It turns out that the intruder is you, and I can solve it if I find the door myself." ”
Kelsa hadn't studied the religion of the human kingdom before, so he hadn't seen the sheep's head coat of arms on the robe at this time.
But even so, he knew what this woman had done, the corpses in the courtyard were piled up, and the blood flowed out of the depression, accumulating in the corners of the wall. There are obvious traces of artificial modeling, placing the corpse into a pyramid, and the girl who was stripped naked at the top of the tower emits a painful **. The spear held the whole person in place, and the girl who had lost too much blood had already begun to roll her eyes.
"What are you doing!" Kaelsa is a heinous necromancer, but even he has never played that way.
Glancing at the Ouroboros made of blood and water on the ground, Kaelsa roared out in the next second, "You actually want to resurrect a dead soul!?" ”
The Ouroboros with its tail biting represents the cycle of life and death, an element that all circles associated with resurrection possess.
Do you still want to use the life force of that girl to be born directly in the way of the Holy Spirit!?
"Well, it's my sister, I'm going to resurrect her." The green-robed woman waved her palm to the ground, and the strong black smoke directly drew a circle around her, and then the wind suddenly rose, and those black bands were pulled directly into the air, "You shouldn't have come back." ”
It's not time to come back! Kaelsa froze as he watched the torn black belt scattered across the sky froze for a moment, and then slowly shifted his direction to his target.
Then the green-robed woman swung her arm down, and the black ribbons that emitted black smoke like bows and arrows went straight for Kelsa.
================================================
"Get out of here, we still have a task to accomplish." The woman standing behind Charles whispered, not caring about the disappearance of her two teammates.
It's so unlikable, Charles turned and glanced at the only stranger in the group, no wonder Jill said that her sister had no friends, how could such a person be close to her.
"Don't joke, if you want to say this kind of thing again, leave by yourself, I won't give up on my friend if the mission fails." A sword plunged into Kelly's grave, and Charles stirred lightly in it.
Empty......?
"Okay, give me the assignment and I'll finish our job." Shandy directly responded to the captain's words, not noticing the strange expression on the other party's face.
Charles was very simple, grabbed a scroll that was held by red silk and poured out of the ring, and then his golden eyes stared at the wolf girl who stretched out her hand, "Take it, and then get away, don't let me see you." ”
But the moment Shandy got the scroll and turned to leave, Charles knocked the woman to the ground with an elbow blow, and then pulled out the rope and tied it up in a mess, and specifically gagged her mouth to prevent the other party from casting the spell.
"I haven't finished saving people yet, what's the hurry." Looking at the nasty ghosts who were tied up like rice dumplings, Charles felt that he needed to think carefully about whether to take her with him after leaving here, the law of the jungle, their identities were already very sensitive, and danger could happen at any time.
If he were to carry this internal instability, he would not feel that he was a philanthropist, and the world was cruel.
Throwing the unconscious Shandy into the grave keeper's hut, Charles runs back to the graveyard, not yet old enough to abandon his friends.
As soon as he lifted the tomb, Charles glanced at the empty coffin, and then opened the two graves next to him, which also had Smith written on them.
It's strange why this is the only one without a body.
The younger one must have belonged to the child who had died, and the other adult man must have been Kelly's husband.
The bodies of the child and father were there, but there was no body of Kelly that Charles had seen at the inn.
And seeing the reaction of the villagers, they are also very familiar with this woman, which is very strange, obviously even the body has been buried in the grave in the north, isn't it strange that these guys are not surprised.
Wipe the dust off the tombstone, the child's tombstone was erected by Kelly, and the Kelly couple was erected by a lady from Kelly. And Charles remembers that the owner had told him last night that her sister was in Kaynoran.
Was it Kelly's sister......
Squatting next to the man's grave, Charles picked up the corpse's shirt with his sword, and the tattoo on the lower left abdomen was particularly conspicuous, even if it had become a dried corpse, the goat's head and the pentagram on the skin could be seen.
This guy is also a cultist......
Strange as Charles saw a wound in the other man's heart, apparently a sign of execution by someone from the Inquisition. And this kind of person can't be buried normally, but Charles saw this thing lying quietly in the grave. But that explains why he is in a dry corpse state, and the fallen are hung in the basement of the church until his soul is purified. Charles didn't know if the goods had been purified, but he was certain that the villagers had betrayed the Cult.
Charles had always thought it was strange that he slept in the same house, and if nothing else, it was the original Holy Church. Because it was specially built by the diocese, the style and architectural standard are much better than the self-built houses of the surrounding villagers.
The villagers betrayed the cult and destroyed the original church, and then let Kelly's sister take over the mansion and worship the evil gods. It is estimated that the priest in charge of the village has already received the lunch, and the body of the man in the grave was pulled out of the basement of the church.
Now the real Kelly's body is gone, which means that the real purpose of that sister is to resurrect her sister.
Take advantage of the greed of the villagers, incite rebellion, then let them plant the devil's fruit, and finally resurrect Kelly with the power of the evil god. But to Charr's surprise, the lords of the higher levels did not notice the anomaly here, and these villagers have been serving the evil gods since last year.
Cut, Charles hates this kind of plot the most, he's not a mage, and he doesn't know where to find the missing villager and Sophie Kelsa. However, since he is a believer in the devil, Charles feels that the other party will definitely not mind releasing spells at the cost of human lives, so it is also possible to sacrifice one or two hundred people at a time to create a confined space.
So he ran to what was supposed to be a church, and if nothing else, it was supposed to be the center of the entire circle. According to the rules of the Holy Church, in order to facilitate almsgiving, the church must be located in the center of the village.
But as before, there was nothing but an empty courtyard. However, now that he has obtained quite a lot of information, Charles naturally will not let go of the basement.
Since the woman would wait for the resident knight to leave before casting the spell, it proved that this guy was not very strong, and Charles felt that he could defeat the woman, otherwise he would not have wasted his time here.
The counter was so smashed that Charles even lifted the pots and spatulas in the kitchen, but he still couldn't find the basement where it should have been.
Outside? Charles suddenly remembered that the Holy Cult usually built a tower at least three stories high, and he didn't see such a thing.
Pushing open the door and trotting all the way, Charles found his purpose.
Turning over the straw pile, a small wooden door was half-hidden behind the house.
They demolished the tower, so the basement was open-air.
