"As for the wither, I'm worried that your village's graveyard will be used by evil mages to desecrate the bodies of the dead and become ghouls, and if this happens, it will be a disaster for you, so I want to ask your people to be a witness, I need to investigate the spell fluctuations in the cemetery."

The village chief was still reluctant to agree, but Mephis was a magician, and then explained a lot of reason, and glanced at the magic book floating around, which was simply a moving ID card.

"I have no reason to refuse, after all, it is for the safety of the villagers, Ellen, you can take them to the cemetery to have a look."

Eren is the guard who mistook the gender of Mephis, and he was worried that his dozing off would be told all the way, and he stood next to him and kept worrying, but fortunately, the traveler who passed by was not nosy, and he never mentioned the. At this time, when he heard the village chief call his name, he hurriedly patted his chest and put on a posture of giving up who else.

Behind the deserted mountains, I don't know if it's an illusion or not, there is always an eerie feeling in the place where the dead are buried, and the cold wind whining through the treetops makes people want to leave this place early.

Mephis also felt uncomfortable, the cemetery is more real and gloomy than in the game, because the spirit in the body resists the magic around it, and the body really senses the numbness of contact with death, this world legend says that after death, the soul will float to the underworld, which is the so-called hell, and the cemetery in front of him is the closest to hell in reality, and the living should feel uncomfortable here.

"You can feel the death gas gushing out of the ground, and it seems that you buried the dead too shallowly."

"That's right, the dead air is about to erupt, and in more than ten years, mushrooms from the underworld will grow here."

Hevier looked carefully to the left and right to try to find some clues, but the most intuitive feeling was the sense of lifeless oppression, if the dead buried here were not protected by coffins, I am afraid that they would have been dug up and eaten by scavengers.

Alicia walked over to a tree that seemed to have signs of vandalism, a patch of overpowered grass not far away, and even more obvious marks further afield.

"When I think of mushrooms, I think of fluorescent mushrooms, and I can eat ingredients that contain magical powers."

"You know how to eat, but your body is not full, the meaning of your life is only to waste rations, and you waste land after death."

"Alicia, although I have a good temper and is generous and tolerant, I can't tolerate your repeated provocations."

"Come to war?"

"Say like you can grow meat if you eat it?"

"I'm smarter than you and better than you."

"Do you believe that I beat you flat and even dented?"

As soon as the words fell, two magic books flew over from a distance, hitting the heads of the two people from the side, and the heads of the two people who smashed fell down at the same time, and the two were silent for a few seconds before they dispersed.

Mephis filled in the details he had missed, and many of the plots had been different from his memories since the desert, and although most of the details of the surrounding environment were the same as those he remembered, the situation he encountered now was different from what he knew.

Eren was a little nervous as she gripped her weapon, and seemed to jump up at the slightest hint of wind.

"Sir, there won't be ghouls here, will you?"

"Maybe."

Blighter is a general term for resurrected monsters after death, and there are also undead and undead in some places, and midterm ghouls are the most well-known and easiest monsters to meet among the people, especially in cemeteries where protection is not enough, and the corpses that are buried too shallow will be dug up by the ghouls to become food for a full stomach, as for attacking the living, unless there are special circumstances, ghouls generally do not dare to attack human villages, because it only takes three or four brave militiamen to defeat this monster, and many ghouls are people who become not really stupid, Moreover, every life has an instinct to protect itself.

The premise of defeating the Ghoul is to be brave, not to be like the guard Eren who turns back in three steps and two times, is frightened and uncomfortable, and looks like a bento with a full face.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the more suspicious people are in horror novels, the faster they generally die.

"Why don't you see the grave keeper?"

Mephis frowned and looked at the wooden shed where the grave keeper was resting, it was empty and there was no one, and the rest of the meal was placed on the table, but the person was gone, the NPC of the grave keeper in the game era had never had an accident, why is it not there now?

"Huh? It's strange, why is that guy Goz gone, usually this guy often complains that there are a lot of strange movements in the cemetery, but the village provides good treatment to the grave keeper, and he is not willing to let go of anything to change people. ”

The person who should be there was not there, and the situation seemed to get weird, and Mephis felt faintly uncomfortable.

Hervier crossed over a tombstone and crouched on the ground to check the footprints on the dirt.

"This kind of ghost place is too close to the environment of the underworld, and the aura of the corpses of the dead is almost the same as that of the wither, and we have a vague feeling that something is hiding nearby."

"That's why it's the best place for the rats in the gutter to hide, and if anyone has been around here, he's probably gone in that direction."

"There are a few sets of fresh footprints here."

Alicia squeezed away Hevier to look closely, Hevier pushed Alicia down unhappily, Alicia stood up and strangled Hevier's neck, the two secretly grabbed each other's wrists and competed, and it was only a few seconds, when Mephis turned to look this way, the two quickly lowered their heads and pretended to discuss.

"If it weren't for Lord Mephis's request, I would have taught you a hard lesson."

"Don't be funny, captain of the honor guard, who have you beaten? Who does the guy who can't even win Zona want to teach a lesson? ”

"Can Zona fly?"

"At least people recognize the reality, unlike you who are still holding on to your fantasies and preparing to drown."

Mephis suddenly leaned over and asked with curiosity on his face, "Dreaming?" A fantasy of writing on your lap? ”

Alicia was stunned: "I don't know what you mean, Lord Mephis, but from a literal sense, what I said about 'holding a fantasy' must not mean the same thing as what you said." ”

Eren was inexplicably panicked to death at this moment, why did the village chief be frightened to believe these young people? Why is this young man so unreliable in all kinds of tall and tall looks? Can you get a little nervous? After all, Eren is only the son of Orion, and he has participated in militia training for a period of time, so he is not very powerful, he can dance with spears and short swords, cut through thigh-thick wood with one hand, and he is okay with hunting, but he still has to be more leisurely when fighting monsters.

"Sir, how powerful are ghouls? I've encountered ghouls before, and I don't think it's particularly powerful. ”

"This kind of monster is divided into different stages, the newborn ghoul is very fragile, ordinary people can be eliminated with a weapon and a random slash, and the ghoul who grows up in the future because they absorb enough essence, all aspects of their body have returned to the human level or even far beyond the human level, then it will be dangerous, and further, the ghoul king can easily bite the steel sword and scratch the cowhide shield, and a single pounce can bite off the rhinoceros's head."

"Uh... Really? ”

Eren just wanted to show off his weapons and previous achievements, and chat by the way to relax his nerves, but after listening to Mephis's description, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and swallow his saliva, seeing that his knowledge was not at the same level.

"You will know if you inquire a little, not long ago there was a monster similar to a ghoul in Camorra City, of course, that monster is several times more powerful than a ghoul, the mercenaries and city guards who surrounded and suppressed the monster were almost all wiped out, and the corpses of the dead were piled up on the ground into a thick layer of flesh, and blood flowed out of the small alleys and stained the streets red."

"Sir, I know that you are a capable person, I will just follow you, whether you need to work or run errands."

This news directly discouraged Eren from going to search elsewhere, and honestly follow Mephis's side, although the other party is young, the magician will always have some methods that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Don't question the mage, this is the consensus of the people of Analos.

"Found it, people are here."

Alicia stopped under a tree, crouched down beside an unknown person to check, and nodded slightly when Mephis came over.

"Alive."

Mephis also squatted beside this man to check the situation, and after Ellen identified this person as the grave keeper Goz, whose thin body was as thin as a hemp rod, lying on the ground in pain, bleeding from his ears and nose, if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still heaving, he really thought he was a corpse.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the grave keeper heard the movement here while he was still eating, and when he put down the things in his hand and came here to check, he was attacked, and there were no external injuries on his body, and his mind was traumatized, and it was very likely that it was a magic attack, as for the purpose of the other party, he only needed to look at a few large pits next to him to understand.

Someone destroyed the coffin and dug up the corpse, the ghoul's IQ was not enough for him to bring food home to feed the dogs, and the precise digging up of the corpse to open the coffin was clearly artificial.

"Is it the one who reported the mourning of the birds? It's likely that they're collecting corpses to make withercallers. ”

Hevier thought of the witherer and the underground room that he had encountered before, and it was not unusual for the mourning bird to be engaged in research in this direction.

"No, the research direction of the mourning bird is the magical creatures that combine magic and alchemy, ordinary humans do not meet the requirements as materials, and most of the corpses that have been dug up are used for magic practice."

"Magic is real?"

The soul is a very fragile existence, and it is as fragile as a bubble after leaving **, and it bursts when it blows with the wind.

"** is the carrier of the soul, after the death of the soul returns to the underworld, ** becomes an empty shell, maybe some people want to try to transfer the soul of the animal to the human corpse."

"Does that make any sense?"

"Do you know why you use mice before the new alchemical drug is used?"

"Its practical orangutan is better, right?"

"That's not the point!"

Mephis choked and continued.

"If that person succeeds in transferring the animal's soul to a human, it means that the magic can transfer the human's soul to another person."

Hervier was puzzled.

"Then why don't you use the living person to do the real yàn, otherwise she won't be able to observe the results at all."

"Maybe people are soft-hearted."

Mephis said half-jokingly, but she had a bad premonition in her heart, and she couldn't tell if it was done by the witch or the mourning bird, and she needed to talk to the witch as much as possible.
