Chapter 290: Weird
"I don't know, go check it out?" Li Yuan said.
"Good!" As soon as the words fell, Wu Zhi was already tapping her toes on the ground. The thin transparent wings behind the Ant Emperor Armor turned into wind and dissipated.
They went out and ran in the direction from which the cry came, until they reached the house, and their hearts chuckled. This wasn't the first time they'd been here, it was the home of the woman who had given them the Tree Heart quest.
The cry was hers.
They remembered the joy on her face when she got the Treant Heart. At that time, she also said that they should come to her house to buy food, and she would give them cheaper. It's just that Li Yuan and the others haven't met her in the market since then, so they didn't pay much attention.
At this time, they could not care so much, and when they saw that the door of the courtyard was closed, they climbed over the fence and quickly rushed to the second floor. The lights in the rooms on the second floor were on and dim yellow.
They quickly pushed the door open and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I saw that the woman was lying on her stomach in front of a bed at this time, crying bitterly, and could barely stand up.
On the bed lay a man with gray temples, whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to hers, but with a little more weather. If you were young, you must have been a beautiful man.
And now, his face is iron-blue, like a zombie, which makes people shudder.
He's dead? Li Yuan and Wu Zhi glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Doesn't it say that with the heart of a tree can cure a disease? Sure enough, the kind of old god doctor can't be trusted...... Li Yuan muttered secretly and took a step forward: "That ......"
"Ahh ~" The woman probably found someone to talk to, and cried even louder.
This frightened Li Yuan, thinking that something was wrong, and he was stunned for a while.
Wu Zhi stepped forward, gently stroked her back, turned to Li Yuan and said, "Bring some tissues." ”
"Oh, oh!" Li Yuan reacted, went to the bathroom on the side, took out two tissues and handed them to Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi wiped the tears from the woman's face.
Ah, I can't see it, Sister Wu Zhi actually has such a tender side...... Li Yuan scratched his head and stood.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Wu Zhi stroked her back, and after a while of comfort, the woman's crying gradually stopped.
"What's going on?" Seeing that her mood gradually stabilized, Wu Zhi asked softly. The man's face was pale, his heartbeat and breathing were gone, and he must have died according to his previous opinion.
However, in the Tian Yuan Continent, if you die, you will directly dissipate into a spirit child similar to an experience value light cluster - the people here are originally composed of ether bodies, originally derived from the soul, and after death, they will naturally return to nothingness with the soul.
As for what kind of state it was at that time, there is no way to verify.
But this man is like a physical death, he has determined that there is no sign of life, but he has not dissipated, which has violated the rules of this world.
It's like ...... The soul is still there, but in a certain state, it can't be combined with the etheric body?
What does this mean? Lost in the out-of-body and unable to return home? If this is true, it will be too bizarre, can the etheric body still be out of the body...... Li Yuan muttered secretly.
In the woman's intermittent crying, Li Yuan could roughly hear it, as if the reason was that when they set off from the elven town before, when they were walking this way, they passed through a haunted village, and then his father suddenly fell ill as if he was possessed by an evil spirit, and fainted directly after arriving at the brave tribe.
She found the best doctor from the Brave Tribe.
Isn't that a god stick...... Li Yuanbelly sneered.
The doctor prescribed a prescription for her, and in that prescription was the heart of a tree man, which Li Yuan and the others knew.
After taking that prescription, her father did get better.
What's so ...... Miracles...... Hearing this, Li Yuan opened his mouth.
It's just that his body is still very weak, he can't get out of bed, and he has to lie down all the time.
"Is there anything strange about this? For example, you have to drink red potion all the time to replenish your stamina or something. Li Yuan guessed that this was an evolutionary version of that sepsis or something.
"Nope." The woman shook her head, "But there are strange things, that is, he has not been able to speak, and his eyes are lifeless, as if he has lost his soul." ”
At this, the woman hid her face and wept again.
Lost Soul ...... Li Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, which coincided with his guess......
"Originally, I thought it was getting better, but I didn't expect it, but I didn't expect that today, his face suddenly turned blue, and his whole person fell, no matter how he screamed, he didn't even have a sign of life......"
"Merlin, what do you think could be the reason for this?" Li Yuan's heart sank, his eyes were full of flower petals fluttering, and his consciousness had already appeared in Avalon.
"Necromancy, necromancy can do that." Merlin's face became unusually serious, and then he showed a cheap smile: "Ah Yuan, it looks like you are busy next!" ”
"Huh?" The corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitched.
"Brother Merlin has sent you a mission, go ahead, go and investigate the truth of this matter. Now that a necromancer appeared in front of him, it was naturally impossible for the righteous Brother Merlin and Ah Yuan to let it go. Merlin's staff pointed forward, like a general giving orders.
"Well, to be honest, I'm still interested in your quest rewards." Li Yuan squeezed out a reluctant smile: "It's just how to start, do you have a clue?" ”
"Uh......" Merlin's originally stunned face stiffened, scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled: "Ahahaha, Ah Yuan, you are already an adult, you should learn to complete tasks independently." ”
What the hell am I ...... Li Yuan's mind was full of slaps in the face of this slut.
"That," Li Yuan returned to reality, looking at the woman crying on Wu Zhi's shoulder in embarrassment, "Do you know where that haunted village is?" ”
"I don't know." The woman shook her head:
"We received information at the time, because a series of cities such as Graystone City and Dark Magic City on the trade route suddenly announced that the road tax would be doubled, so my father chose a path deep into the monster territory, intending to avoid the tax, but he didn't expect it...... If we knew that this was the case, we would rather pay some taxes, and this trip would be better than this even if we don't make money. ”
The woman couldn't help but groan.
"Then the approximate location is a monster territory between Gray Rock City and Dark Demon City, right?" Li Yuan spread out the map. Finger pressed between Greystone City and Dark Magic City.
Damn it, the Dark Devil hasn't done anything good...... Li Yuan was angry in his heart, this kind of practice in the Black Demon City was tantamount to robbing a robber halfway, which made his perception a little worse.
"Well, is my father still saved?" Seeing Li Yuan's professional appearance, a look of hope appeared on the woman's face.
"It's hard to say, but if you have the chance, you have to try." Li Yuan said.
"Really?" The woman seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
Belch...... I can't help it, I haven't figured out what that necromancy is, so don't give me such hopes...... Li Yuan secretly said in his heart, but seeing her sad appearance, he really couldn't bear to disappoint her again, so he could only stubbornly say: "I, I'll do my best." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" The woman hurriedly bowed down.
"Don't, don't, I can't afford it." Li Yuan hurriedly held her up, his heart was full of bitterness, and he secretly said that it would probably be better to tell her the truth......
But at least after listening to Li Yuan's words, the woman's state obviously improved, she stopped crying, and carefully tidied up the corners of his father's clothes.
"Merlin, do you think his father is still saved?" Li Yuan asked in his heart.
"Theoretically, it's gone." Merlin shrugged, hearing Li Yuan's heart.
"However, the necromancy itself involves the soul level, which is relatively mysterious, and even people who are completely dead and dissipated can be resurrected, as long as you find a clue to a certain soul, maybe there is no way."
"You mean to treat his father like an undead zombie or something...... Resurrected? Li Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, after seeing the crazy state of the flame giant Shahrir, he really didn't have any good feelings about 'living' in this state.
"I don't know, I'll talk about it then. The specific situation of his father has not been clarified yet, if it is a normal necromancer, his father should be missing by now, right? As for the current state......" Merlin was silent for a while, and then laughed heartlessly: "Brother Merlin is not sure!" Ahaha! ”
"Uh......" Li Yuan felt that it was no longer much use to talk to this guy, so he drooped his face and collected his thoughts.
"Let's go back first." Seeing that the woman's state had stabilized, Wu Zhi whispered to Li Yuan.
"Are you alright?"
"It should be fine, aren't you going to investigate this? It's useless to spend it here. Wu Zhi said.
"Hmm."
So, Li Yuan and Wu Zhi said goodbye to this woman. Before leaving, she thanked them again and again, and earnestly entrusted this matter to them.
Li Yuan only felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier.
Out of the woman's house, someone was also probing his brain outside, and when he saw Li Yuan and Wu Zhi coming out, he hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”
It was a woman who spoke.
"It's fine for now." Wu Zhi shook her head: "It's just ......"
"What's going on?" She asked again.
"I can't say, I'll tell you when the owner of this house is better." Wu Zhi didn't want to say more, squeezed out the crowd, and walked to his house with Li Yuan.
Hearing this, the neighbors scattered one after another. The sudden crying in the middle of the night also startled them, but since someone said that it was okay, everyone was relieved.
"Are you sure?" When he arrived at his yard and closed the door, Wu Zhi suddenly asked.
"It's hard to say, his father's situation is still just speculation." Li Yuan replied.
"I'm asking if you're sure you'll take over this?" Wu Zhi said in a deep voice: "I guess her father's situation should be similar to Shahril's situation, involving necromancy. Although it sounds a bit fantastical, no matter where this thing appears, it is not good news, it is very dangerous, are you sure that you will get out safely? ”
"Try your best." Li Yuan took a deep breath, since Merlin has issued a mission, then at least he can hold on to the bottom, right?
Uh, is that really possible...... Thinking of this, Li Yuan felt weak again for no reason. It's not a matter of once or twice that this bastard drops his chain at a critical moment.
"Okay!" Wu Zhi shrugged her shoulders and said in an undeniable tone, "Since you said that there is no problem, then I will go with you." ”
