In the gloomy manor, bursts of terrible screams emanated from the rooftop.

"Squeak~~"

The wooden door of the gray and white building was pushed open, and the reason for the long-term disrepair of the wooden door was that the bearings of the wooden door sounded a piercing grinding sound.

A young man in a black robe walked out, his face was a little thin, his dark black eyes looked at the moon very energetically, and the corners of his mouth curved a little, as if he was very relaxed.

"Now put the ghosts away, just wait for dawn to leave the Dryad Forest immediately, and then go to the Dead Forest. I calculated that this time it would take eight days, four days to get to the dead woods, and almost twelve days to go back and forth, so it would be enough to give him the ghost. However, the death of the glorious knight of this manor is really strange. ”

Grant, in black robes, walked out of the manor and rested on a flat ground, where he summoned the poisonous centipede to hide around and protect it.

Grant stretched out his hand, and a burst of black flames appeared, and red beads appeared safely in the palm of his hand. The surface is smooth and has a cool glow. Or because of devouring one more ghost, the ghost gem becomes a little black.

"Wraith, come out!"

Grant's eyes suddenly froze, and after chanting a spell from the corner of his mouth, a gray mist floated into the air, and a light blue illusory figure appeared on his chest, his skin was pale, and a well-fitting tuxedo made his figure look slender and shapely. The slender hands were clenched and trembled, and their expressions were even more hideous, and their teeth creaked and creaked.

"Human, what do you want me to do? Why can't I escape here now, as if my body is out of my control. You just did something strange to me, hurry up! ”

"Hmph. Why do I say that? Anyway, you're under my control now, and you can't move. ”

Grant half sat there. With his hands on his knees, he looked at the ghost with a calm expression.

He had always had a doubt. In the past, it was ignored because it was a normal mission. But now that he came into this world, he understood that there must be some reason for this, and that there was a secret hidden. Maybe you can dig up the benefits of this secret.

"Why were people slaughtered here, and what happened to the two Glorious Knights here before?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Why, I need to know why!"

Grant raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed snow-white teeth.

The ghost's hideous face relaxed slightly, and he didn't insult the other party as usual. Because he understood that the previous sentence proved that he had no way to escape, and the other party's careful preparation had suppressed this probability to ignore. Even if you run away. Without the medium of the manor, the soul may dissipate after flying a few kilometers.

"I've been restrained in this matter, as long as I say that even the soul body will dissipate with a bang, so don't try to get a word out of my mouth, unless I am determined to die."

"Forget it, you can go back."

With a slight tap of Grant's right finger, the mist around the ghost gem quickly closed and returned to the gem.

Grant looked disappointed, after all, if that sentence was true. For him, the dissipation of the other party will be a matter of his own life, and on the other hand, Grant also knows that he can solve the two glory knights in an instant, and he can also make the ghost set up this kind of constraint, which is obviously a very mysterious mage or organization. It's also hundreds of years away. It doesn't necessarily come out of the favor, but I just want to ask.

"Forget it, wait until daylight and get out of here."

Grant fell to the ground. With his hands behind his head as pillows, he looked down at the cold night sky. Silver stars twinkled in the endless night sky, and a full jade-white moon hung there. Flickering with the clouds.

"When the matter of the soul seed is settled, I will go to the outside world to see them, and by the way, go to the priest to settle the score. By the way, she also has to help Refi get rid of her adventurers. ”

Thinking of this, Grant sighed, there are still a lot of things.

The night passed.

Grant patted his robe and planned to leave the canyon.

With the previous experience, and the Wood Tree Watcher is still asleep, showing no signs of waking up. This made it easier for Grant to make his way through the Dryad Forest and all the way to the knight's town.

After simply saying goodbye to Mary, Grant marched towards the dead woods.

Before leaving, Mary desperately shouted that she would become a mage in the future. In response, Grant just pursed his lips and smiled absently.

…………

Four days later.

The clear weather suddenly turned overcast, and pale black clouds rolled in from a corner of the sky, filling the entire sky in an instant. The thunderclouds were mixed with muffled thunder, and silver lightning formed a thunder dragon, which flew straight to the ground.

From time to time, the gray earth was illuminated by electric light, and then returned to calm.

"Rustling ......"

The yellow leaves clung to the stone slabs, and they fell to a mermaid's fountain because of the strong wind, and then turned around and flew into the sky again, eventually disappearing into a ruined manor.

"Come out, Venerable Master Heatins!"

Grant glanced around at the desolate manor and lawn, then raised his head to stare at the mermaid sculpture in front of him. The gray, gnarled sculpture was covered in dust, and the beautiful fishtail was missing a corner, perhaps reinforcing the mana so that even if it was floating underneath, it still didn't collapse.

The mermaid sculpture clicked off the fragments of its eyes, and suddenly moved its eyes strangely and fell on Grant.

"Coming? Is it done? ”

"Of course."

Grant glanced at it and replied cheerfully.

With a flip of his left hand, a red ghost gem floated out. As the gray mist gradually spread around, in the thick mist, a light blue ghost suddenly stumbled out, and the ghost swept around in confusion and puzzlement, and his eyes flashed with a confused look.

"What's wrong? This is where it is, not the manor where I am. ”

"Not bad."

The mermaid sculpture glanced at the ghost and praised it sincerely. This ghost's intelligence and soul level are not crippled, and after hundreds of years of negative energy cultivation, it can be regarded as a high-quality ghost.

"If you are satisfied with this ghost, you can give me the potion from the basement, I need to suppress the soul seed in my body quickly now, so that I can advance safely. You may also need me to help you build a reincarnation circle in the future. ”

Grant was a little anxious, although the soul seed in his body was slowly taking root, there was a hint of weirdness in his appearance, and he began to bear some small fruits, which seemed to be using the fruits to speed up the absorption. As long as it is absorbed for a few days, it will be indelible damage to the soul.

"What do you say again? Why do you look at me like that? You look at the goods with the eyes, right? ”

"Speak."

Sensing something was wrong, the ghost staggered back a few steps, but he soon found himself imprisoned, unable to move a finger, as if he had been nailed to the board, and became a cow and sheep to be slaughtered.

"Brush!"

Grant snapped his fingers, and the corners of the ghost's mouth were blocked by a cloud of gray mist, making him unable to make any sound.

"How?" Grant looked up at the sculpture.

"Well, I'm happy with this ghost. I'll tell you the location of the basement now, it's two kilometers behind the dead woods, there's a three-pronged pointed stone, all gray and pale green on the outside, you just have to open it with a certain wooden sign, and there will be a basement that leads to the bottom of it, and the rotting corpses there will give you the way when they see the wooden sign. ”

After the mermaid sculpture simply finished speaking, the gray fragments at the corners of the mouth peeled off, revealing a row of jagged teeth, like a sea tribe, sharp and chilling.

"Smack!"

A long, gray, pointed wooden sign spits out of its mouth and falls to the ground.

Grant ran over and took the wooden card in his hand, and the hard and cold wooden card simply depicted a twisted snake with two horns on the top of its head and strange brown-yellow eyes. As soon as Grant pressed his hand down, the snake swam crookedly, as if it was indistinguishable from the animated appearance.

There is a pale blue mark on the handle of the wooden sign.

"It's blue, and it looks precious." Grant glanced at the token and knew that this degree of preciousness was also known, like in the world of glory, the general copy and relic token will have a circle of colors on the handle to represent the preciousness, which are white, green, blue, purple, orange, dark gold, and then above is the mage's pattern representative mark.

"Alright, you go, as long as you get closer, the token will give instructions, I'm looking forward to you being promoted to a second-order mage sooner, after all, I've been here for too long." I'll save the ghost first. ”

As the mermaid sculpture slowly finished speaking, a black vine branch protruded from the corner of its jagged mouth and tore the ghost through and burrowed into the sculpture itself. After all this, the surface of the sculpture returns to its normal appearance.

"Hey, let's go."

Grant glanced at it, his eyes full of jealousy. He knew that the strength of this Hetings mage in front of him was very strong, and he didn't want to have a conflict in front of him, and with a fight of his hand, Heiru was also summoned.

"Go to the back of the dead woods, and remember to be quicker this time. I need to be in a hurry. ”

As soon as Grant's legs flicked, he rode to Heiru's back, and when he raised his hand, he felt his body move, and quickly turned into a streamer.

Everything in front of him blurred, and Grant pressed into Heiru's back as he watched as he left the manor and entered a large path into the dead woods leading to the outside world, flanked by towering giant trees.

Regarding time, he remembered that he still had eight days, and it was enough to come and go back to the basement, and even one more day, which he believed was definitely enough for himself.

"Huhu~~~"

When the cold wind blew in front of his forehead, and the slightest cold poured into the collar, Grant also found himself approaching. (To be continued.) )
