Chapter 41: Rest in peace
The magical flames flickered with a dim green light, stubbornly clinging to much of Lil, a town as silent as death, with a jumble of overlapping shoe prints stretching from the doorways of each house to the exit of the town, without a trace.
There seemed to be a strange figure flashing through the dark window.
The baron's castle was gone, replaced by a deep pit, with a smooth, rounded surface that seemed to have been dug up by something.
The gray breath that permeated the air told of what had happened here, and it was a smell of death.
In the sky, Lance saw the whole picture of this place for the first time, this is a huge magic array that has been destroyed, with the pit as the center, the houses in the eight corners of the town as the main node, this vertical and horizontal street is the magic line, and the person responsible for providing energy is the houses on both sides of the street, to be specific, the people in the house.
The fire that Anno set in the first place still didn't work.
An even heavier expression appeared on Sheena's little face, and the smell of blood fluctuated emotions, "This damn Dark Cross Church!"
"Let's go down and have a look. ”
It was almost summer, and the blazing sun could not dispel the special cold feeling that emanated from here, and some biting wind whistled by, which seemed to be mixed with the faint wails of many people.
Any mass death will give birth to a special kind of being, the undead.
The undead are beings that gather the minds of those who have died, and the aura of death they exude can corrupt any living being, and if there are enough of them, they can even corrupt the land and turn it into a land of death.
One of the most famous places of death on the continent of Suo is known as the Capital of the Dead and one of the most famous masterpieces of the Dark Cross Church.
The darkness could not hide Lance's gaze, and in front of the windows of some houses stood a faint shadow, exuding a strong aura of death, as if he was looking at them at this moment.
There are indeed traces of purification in this land, but why are the undead still here?
"Lance, I'm so scared .................."
Little Lancey stopped, clutching the corner of Lance's coat tightly, her nervous eyes not daring to look at the houses, because she could see them too.
"Don't be afraid, come to my sister's place, my sister will protect you. ”
The little guy looked at the princess sister, standing close to Nosa, revealing her mood at the moment, two scared people would be even more scared together.
"Reims .................."
"Come, I'll hold you. ”
"Hmm. ”
The familiar church glows with a faint white light, and this is the only place here that has life.
The two of them had been waiting here for a long time.
"Lord Nosa, Lance. ”
Rosie bowed slightly, his grateful gaze falling on Lance, who might still be in that dark underground cage if it weren't for this miraculous teenager.
"Rosie, I have to change my words, I should call him Baron Reims. ”
Feeling the territorial power of Lance's body, a surprised expression appeared on the old man's face, "Is it difficult to ............"
"Well, now this is my territory. ”
"Please forgive me, Lord Baron, for this seemingly stupid behavior. ”
"You mean, purify the undead?"
"Yes. ”
The deep gaze revealed his heavier heart, looking at this dead silence, it seemed that this was not the case in his eyes, those who died did not really leave.
"This is my home, and they're all people I watched grow up with. ”
"Rather than use my strength to erase the last traces of them, I would rather bury them with my own hands. ”
The undead can be purified, which is the most direct and effective way, but there is another one, and that is burial.
Bury these still alive obsessions, and they will naturally leave.
This is known as the rest of the dead.
It's a long process, compared to purification.
"Please agree with my foolish decision, Lord Baron. ”
An old man's knees on one knee are enough to show his most sincere request.
Bright red eyes scanned the land, according to so many people, there should be a lot of undead, and now seeing that it does not meet the due number, his eyes fell on Rosie, and his pupils contracted, making Lance make a choice.
"I chose no. ”
His expression was a little gloomy, and Rosie knew what that meant, that the town would take a long time like this, that he would take over a large part of a lord's territory.
And he now has nothing of value to exchange for Lance's consent.
"You cold person!" blurted out with angry words, Sheena couldn't stand it at all, and the resentment in her heart became even stronger while helping Rosie, "This old man has done this, and you still cruelly refuse him!"
Unstimulated by these words in the slightest, her calm face was naked and cold-blooded in Shena's eyes.
"I'm just a cold guy. ”
"This is my territory, and if you want to use my territory, you will have to pay a price. ”
"You!huh!"
Ignoring Sheena's angry eyes, "Besides, I'm not done yet, if you're willing to teach me how to rest these undead, I'll agree with you." ”
"Thank you, Lord Baron!" seemed to have stimulated Rossi's aging heart with great ups and downs, and a trace of gray aura hidden in him dissipated.
"Cunning and ruthless merchant!" said Sheena, still basking in her opinion of Lance.
"Priest Rossi, please also ask me what to do. ”
"No problem!"
..........................................
After arranging the town of Lear, it was time to leave.
"Priest Rossi, remember the bet we made?"
"Remember, but, I'm sorry, I still don't have any money right now. Rosie said guiltily.
"No, no, no, the chips between us have changed. ”
The memorable scene came to mind, and the chips for the bet were indeed changed, but it was not said at the time that they had been changed.
"The chip is, you will be my priest from now on. ”
The slight curl of the corners of Lance's mouth filled Sheena's eyes with the ugly nature of the businessman, and it really made her feel sick.
It also seems to be the only thing of value left by Rossi.
"Your Excellency. Respectful words reveal his decision, Rosie genuinely chose to join Lance because he owed him so much.
"I now declare that you will be my priest. ”
The weak power of the territory has left a mark on Rossi, which represents the recognition of Lance and the recognition of the land, with which it will be easier to rest the dead.
At the same time, Lance also clearly sensed his strength.
Rosie, Mana Level: 1,200.
Superior magician.
"Well, Lord Baron, aren't you short of people, what do you think of me............" Annoko finally spoke, blinking his eyes and hinting frantically.
His eyes fell on this person who had some connection with Siri, and the broken sleeve was a little conspicuous, "It's pretty good." ”
Putting his hand on Anno's shoulder, "I declare that you will be my people. ”
Anno, Mana Level: 400.
