Chapter 166: The Surviving Mayor of the Town

The Skeleton War Horse knew that Xiao Ling was behind him, but because its body was too large to turn around in the narrow aisle, Xiao Ling's Hellfire was unleashed, enveloping the Skeleton War Horse and the Headless Horseman in the attack range, and one magic after another was cast on the Headless Horseman on the Skeleton War Horse.

The skeleton war horse was in a hurry, and turned around suddenly, and its huge body slammed into the stone walls on both sides, collapsing half of the stone walls, so constantly rushing against the stone walls, trying to collapse the stone walls, Xiao Ling burst out of his maximum damage output, and together with the mechanical gargoyle, he kept casting attack magic on the Headless Horseman.

In just over a minute, with the output of Xiao Ling and the mechanical gargoyle, he can definitely kill the Headless Horseman, after all, the Headless Horseman is just an ordinary elite of level 20.

The skeleton war horse finally turned its head, and the headless horseman's blood on his back was running out.

Ice Ring!

The mechanical gargoyle cast this freezing magic, wanting to delay for a while, the skeleton war horse neighed, broke free from the shackles of the ice ring technique, jumped high and jumped onto the private house next to it, like an arrow, galloping into the distance, and disappeared from Xiao Ling's field of vision.

The speed of the Bone War Horse was too fast, Xiao Ling didn't have time to stop it, but unfortunately he almost killed the Headless Horseman, Xiao Ling finally understood why so many players surrounded and suppressed the Headless Horseman, and no one has succeeded so far, the reason is the Bone War Horse under him! Xiao Ling was very annoyed, she lost this opportunity, and she was afraid that she would never have the chance to kill the Headless Horseman again.

Fortunately, the harvest was good tonight, and there was no loss in this mission, since you can't complete this task, it's a big deal to give up. Xiao Ling thought and walked towards the outside of Death Knell Town.

When Xiao Ling passed by the bell tower, he stopped, and Xiao Ling suddenly thought, why did the Headless Horseman linger near this bell tower every twelve o'clock in the middle of the night? Could it be that there is some secret near this bell tower?

Xiao Ling looked up, and the bell tower was just a cylindrical tower building, with a platform at the top and a huge and very ancient table clock. The cold wind howled, the bell tower stood tall, and the towers were full of mottled traces, crumbling in the cold wind.

The stone wall below the tower was littered with gunmarks, all of which had been left by the Headless Horseman with the knight's spear in his hand, and he wanted to destroy the bell tower.

Xiao Ling thought for a moment and walked towards the bell tower.

"Warrior, please wait." A hoarse voice rang out from the gloomy corner next to the bell tower.

"Who?" Xiao Ling looked around vigilantly and raised the staff in his hand.

The mechanical gargoyle is also on the side of the wall, ready for battle at any time.

"Followers of the great god Tershid, noble warriors, please take back your staff, I am not your enemy." The voice said, and a white figure walked out of the alleyway next to him, wearing a black cloak on his head, and the man walked to a place about two yards away from Xiao Ling and stopped.

"Who are you?" Xiao Ling asked, not letting her guard down against this mysterious person who suddenly appeared.

The man smiled bitterly and said in a hoarse voice, "My name is Leodore." ”

Xiao Ling's heart was shocked, Leodore, and the mayor of Moya Town, the thirty-level priest, the mayor who hanged the headless horseman, I didn't expect him to be alive, the classics of Reynolds City tell that the mayor of the town Leodore was also killed by the Headless Horseman and became an undead, but now Leodore is standing alive in front of him, no wonder Xiao Ling is so surprised.

"Hello, Mr. Mayor." Xiao Ling said politely, I don't know what kind of impact the appearance of Mayor Leodore will have on this mission.

Leodore shook his head and sighed, "I'm no longer the mayor of the town, but a wanderer, Camori, the Headless Horseman as you call it, has put a vicious curse on me, and if this curse is not lifted, my body will decay little by little, and eventually become a terrible undead." ”

Xiao Ling suddenly remembered that the administrator of the mercenary union had described that the task was issued by a person wearing a priest's robe and a black cloak, it seemed that it was the Leodore in front of him, and the task of the headless horseman was issued by him.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Xiao Ling asked.

Leodore said, "If you can help me kill the Headless Horseman, the curse on me will be lifted." ”

"It's a pity that I almost killed the Headless Horseman tonight, but he accidentally ran away." Xiao Ling said with regret, "Can you tell me the story between you and him?" Xiao Ling has always been wary of Leodore, and the confrontation with the old appraiser made Xiao Ling understand one thing, not all NPCs are good people, such as the old appraiser man, not all elite monsters are bad people, such as Tabret. Stories can be true or made up, including those recorded in the Canon of Reynolds.

"Okay. I hope that these things I have described will be helpful to you. Leodore said, holding the cloak on his head with his right hand, through the vision of the demon's eyes, Xiao Ling clearly saw Leodore's right hand, Leodore's right hand had begun to rot, and some places had exposed the white bones, which made people feel chills.

Leodore sensed something, and quickly lowered his right hand and retracted it into the priest's robes. Leodore said bitterly: "This is all the work of Camori, that wicked man, may the true god Tershid let him fall into the abyss of darkness, and there will be no redemption for eternity!" Leodore's cold and terrifying voice made Xiao Ling exude a chill from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Ling felt that even if Camory was a heinous person, Leodore would not be much better, and a person with a good heart would not issue such a vicious curse, so the story in Leodore's mouth could not be believed, and it must be confirmed.

Leodore calmed down his excitement and said, "The reason for this is how it happened, there has always been a legend of a treasure in the town of Moya, and it is said that in the deep cave three thousand yards away from the town of Moya, there is a treasure left behind by thieves, which attracts many adventurers to come here, and the town of Moya has also become rich because of the arrival of these adventurers. But human greed is the greatest original sin, and countless adventurers have entered the cave and never come out. Despite my persuasion, Camory insisted on going his own way, and with the knights of the town, to seek the secret of the treasure, he entered the cave, and after several days, Camory came out of the cave with wounds all over his body, and the knights who went with him never came out again. After Camory came out, he refused to say a word about what happened in the cave, and it didn't take long for the town of Moya to be threatened by the undead. Camory's horse was slain by the undead and turned into an undead, but Camory sheltered the filthy undead creature, got into an argument with me, and attacked me, but I was defeated. Later, the residents of the town suspected that Camory and a group of knights had unleashed the treasure, and Camory killed those knights and hid the treasure in order to swallow the treasure for himself, in order to confirm their conjecture, the residents of the town searched Camory's room, and finally found 100,000 gold coins in the dark compartment of Camory's room. The vicious Kamori, his greed put the town of Moya in danger, the residents were indignant, and hanged Kamori so that he could never be redeemed by God, but before he died, he still refused to let go of these good residents, and cursed me viciously, and turned into a headless horseman, summoned a large number of undead, attacked and Moya Town, the inhabitants were defeated by these terrible undead, except for a few who escaped under the cover of my desperate death, so that the truth was revealed, and the rest of the inhabitants were all killed by the undead. ”

What Leodore said was different from the record in the Reynolds books, but the content was roughly the same, Xiao Ling carefully recalled what Leodore said, except for the hateful and hostile attitude towards Camory, there was no flaw in his words.

"May I ask you a question?" Xiao Ling said.

"We're willing to answer for you." Leodore said respectfully, in a sincere tone that did not feel a hint of hypocrisy. In addition to his resentment towards Camory, he is also the generous and benevolent mayor of the town.

"Why does the Headless Horseman linger near this bell tower every time the clock strikes midnight?" Xiao Ling asked, looking at Leodore, who was wearing a black cloak on his head, and Xiao Ling couldn't see Leodore's expression clearly.

Leodore hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's right, the inhabitants, in order to show the world the guilt of Capri, put his head on the bell tower, and asked me to set up an enchantment near the bell tower. After Camory became the Headless Horseman, he sought to retrieve his head. At twelve o'clock in the night, when the power of the barrier is at its weakest, once Camory retrieves his head, his strength will be greatly increased, and no one will be able to defeat him. ”

Xiao Ling looked at the top of the bell tower, nodded and said, "I see." "No wonder the Headless Horseman wanted to destroy the bell tower, which also housed his head.
