When we returned to the Rhino Bar, Caterina was still in a trance, her face full of panic, as if she had suffered some important psychological blow.

Discovering that her father is hiding a lot of things, discovering that she is not human, just panicking instead of collapsing, but it has proven that she is weak on the outside, but she is actually very strong on the inside.

But just entering the bar, her panicked heart made her instinctively look at her father for help.

Looking at Caterina like this, the bar owner Daddy Barton was very distressed and worried, and immediately glared at me, as for the others, they don't care why a bar girl and a bad gambler suddenly disappeared, and what happened to them, they have their own things to be busy with.

In the middle of the bar hall, two plainly dressed merchants were tied to chairs, and the bits and pieces they had with them were placed on a table beside them, and the most conspicuous thing was the black silver-ringed skull pendant, which was the symbol of the Society of the Dead.

It seems that we still think too much, the cultists of the Ten Thousand Dead Society this time are not locals, but free traveling merchants as a cover, and judging from the unimpressed faces, most of them have not entered the town at all, and camped outside the city.

This is also expected, I have already toured several nearby towns, and I have found no necromancers, but the reality of their residence outside the city has a vague hint at another fact - these two are not strong enough to make a living alone in the wilderness, they are quite numerous, and there is even a possibility that there is a separate camp, then things are complicated.

"Trouble, it doesn't seem to be a lurking scattered cultist. Rather, it is the people of the organized Society of the Dead. This should just be a spy to probe. Then the dragon lich has most likely already alarmed them, and they may take action at any time. ”

In just a moment, I deduced these things, which only shows that I have too much experience in encountering trouble and solving trouble, I don't think they can guess, maybe the other party's reinforcements are on the way, I am thinking about how to prompt these rookies without a trace, so that these rookies can quickly force out this message. Easy to cope......

"I ...... I've recruited them all, don't kill me, there are fifty of us in total, and the black-eyed priest takes the lead, he is the undead master of the Holy Order. ”

Well, this idiot is estimated to be an ordinary person not long ago, obviously delaying and waiting for rescue at this time is the best choice, but he actually sold his teammates all of a sudden, and it is difficult for others to save you...... I glanced at the people who were all over the place, and suddenly realized...

"Is this stupider than anyone?"

"Don't compare them to you. It's not fair at all. How many people in this world have more experience in causing trouble and being hunted down than you? ”

Looking at these young people who hurriedly asked each other, I shook my head helplessly. Turned my attention to Old Patton's side, at this time, the man in black behind me was already trembling with excitement, and if I didn't stop it, I was afraid that there would be a good show to watch to recognize relatives......

"By the way, why did I stop it? This guy just forced me to wash the dishes yesterday, but I am the master who taught him martial arts, how can I be regarded as the first half of the mentor, and it is inhumane to treat the mentor like this! ”

".......Didn't you say that you used the dishes to pay for the wine and the arrears? As for my attitude towards my mentor, I have a lot of things I want to say, but I really can't talk about it. The only thing I agree with is why we stop it, let's watch the show, well, I don't think it's angry that guy actually fed the cat with expired milk. ”

The dead cat blew itself up in an instant, but we looked at each other, and then invariably reached out to Barton's bald guy.

"Look, that dead bald head is Barton. Settled. ”

Barton was also stunned, but before he could react, a gust of fragrant wind came, and the soft flesh feeling of the close-fitting body made him freeze.

And the next moment, the beauty pear blossom tree bloomed, and tears rained down.

"Oh, my poor boy, you're all old like this, and you're suffering, Dad...... Mom is here, follow Mom in the future, Mom won't let others bully you. ”

No matter how you look at it, the blonde girl who is no more than twenty years old holds a middle-aged bald guy who is five big and three thick and shouts "My son, you have suffered", this picture is so beautiful, even if I expected it, I almost squirted it out in one gulp.

And we were prepared, and the other people in the bar were even more outrageous, drinking water, and one of the unlucky dwarves accidentally ripped off a piece of the wooden beer glass, chewed it, and swallowed it only to find out.

"Bah, scared old Entke to death, Patton boy, is this your mother? Your mom is much younger than you look, well, much better-looking! Are you really her species? The almighty Ash is on again, and you are too different. ”

"Idiot, don't you see that pointy-eared elf? By the way, how did elves give birth to purebred humans? It's incredible! What race did his dad really have? ”

"Ha, I don't know if his dad is of that race, but he must be ugly, uglier than old Entek. If it weren't for such a beautiful mother, how could there be such an ugly son. ”

"Poof."

Well, the outspoken dwarves were the second wave of water that the dwarven shield defenders and their companions were told.

For a moment, all attention was lost to the prisoner being interrogated in front of him, and the fierce bar owner actually had such a flowery girl, and what gossip could attract more attention than this.

And the most tragic thing at this time is probably the old Barton himself, he was frightened at first, and then it was not that he was tempted by beautiful women, but that he couldn't break free at all.

Yes, as a fairly good fighter, he found that his arms seemed to be entangled by a giant python, his bones were rattling, and his whole body was in pain, not to mention breaking free, and if he continued for a while, he would probably suffocate to death.

He no longer had the strength to speak, and when he was desperate, he turned his attention to the unreliable "master", and when he saw the other party nodding and signaling that he understood, he was finally relieved.

"Barton was so happy that he told us not to disturb their mother and son reunion. Keep them all away and give them enough space for mothers and children. ”

"Poof."

This time, Old Patton vomited blood, probably blood, uh. I actually coughed up blood. It's a bit of an exaggeration to spew blood like this.......

"Ahh Help! ”

So, with the blood-spewing old bald head as the core, the whole bar fell into chaos.

cough, when the scene calmed down a little, and when I saw the excitement, I finally stopped the dragon lich who was "overflowing with maternal love", lest he work harder and harder in anxiety and really pinch his only descendant to death.

"This time. You should learn to respect your teacher. Oh, male students are good, strong and resistant to X, and they can't die at all. The previous education was a failure, just because I was too soft on the girls! Well. ”

"I don't know if your education methods will succeed in ......., I just know that you are going to be unlucky recently, look at the back."

Well, as soon as I turned my head, a resentful Caterina was staring at me, her fingers still on my waist. That grudge look in my eyes, as if I was some kind of bad person. What evil things have been done?

"You still dare to say that you are a good person?"

I ignored the words of the dead cat, and I am easy to misunderstand as a kind-hearted person.......

More than half an hour later, after we wasted precious time (Barton: Blame me? Should I be watched to die? We're finally back to business.

And since we haven't been looking for it for more than half an hour, it is estimated that those from the Ten Thousand Dead Society will not come directly to the door, but a group of people like us have arrested people and come back, it is impossible to conceal them, and there will definitely be trouble after that, and the further information we got from the spies made us regret getting the other party back.

Our previous guess was not wrong, the Ten Thousand Dead will operate on the main plane for only two purposes, one is to get powerful undead creatures, and the other is to open the door to the death plane, so that more undead natural disasters will come, and this time they learned from the ancient ruins that there is a powerful ancient dragon skeleton here but it is not their main purpose.

In their sequence, this trivial matter of "picking up bones" does not require a high-ranking priest to bring more than fifty believers, and their real goal is a relic in the mountains of Harun, not far from this town, which is said to be very unstable and suitable as a gateway to a new plane.

When I heard this, the others did not react, but the old Barton's face, which had just regained his complexion, became ugly, and I remembered that the old Barton had mentioned to me that Caterina had picked it up at an ancient ruin.

"It can't be such a coincidence......."

But looking at Barton's deteriorating face and whether he was peeking at Caterina or not, the unconcealable concern was probably the reality of the unfortunate words, and then the wishful owner of the ruins was very clear.

"A relic of the sage civilization? A lot of strange things in the Holy War are dug up from somewhere, maybe there are some strategic-level weapons, even if there is no contract with the God of Wisdom, you can't let the Ten Thousand Dead Society obtain the ruins. ”

And for those adventurers, even if they don't know what the relics of an ancient sage civilization might represent, but the door of a death plane is open near their own door, they know what the consequences will be.

"Absolutely stop them!"

But I turned my attention to other places, and if it weren't for the people around me watching, I would have planned to use the Soul Searching Secret Technique to completely squeeze the secrets out of the minds of these two Ten Thousand Death Society believers.

I wasn't fit to come forward, so I asked Old Barton to come forward.

"The opening of the plane gate requires a lot of sacrifices, don't tell me that you are ready?"

Everyone's faces changed, after so many years of the Holy War, the soul sacrifice that the undead and demons craves the most has become notorious, aren't these guys operating around the town just to find dragon bones?

"I ...... We took quite a few slaves with us. ”

"Caught?"

Old Barton glared fiercely, and the fat cultist stared at him, but he didn't dare to look at him directly, and as soon as he lowered his head, he grabbed the collar and dragged him up, and his roar exploded like thunder in his ears.

"You've attacked other villages? Captured a captive as a sacrifice? ”

The fat man who was lifted up was out of breath, and he couldn't stop kicking blindly with his feet off the ground, but finally nodded quickly.

"I... We didn't want to come here, but Kurome-sama said that he was worried that there would not be enough sacrifices and asked us to ......."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on another cultist, the thin man nodded hurriedly, confirming this information.

Now, the fun is really big, but I still need more information.

"The one-sided plane link is meaningless, the undead plane on the other side is the one, and the undead lord is in charge of this, do you know?"

Sure enough, he couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the two of them, but suddenly the thin man seemed to remember something.

"I've heard Lord Kurome mention that as long as the mission is completed, General Wu'er, the right-hand man under His Majesty Heng, will give us a new eternal life."

"Heng Majesty Xià? Is there a Necromantic Emperor called Heng? Why do I have a premonition that I am going to be unlucky? (To be continued......)
