Chapter 63: The Hidden Enemy
Zach quickly patted his companion lightly, and when it was Magill's turn, he kept shaking the Cavaliers captain hard. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ . "Wake up, Magill, we're in trouble!"
Magill shoved Zach away and jumped to his feet, the sword already in his hand. "What's going on!?"
Pushed against the wall, Zach panicked and stood up. "You'll know when you go down, ghost...... It looks like it's coming. β
Magill's eyes widened, and he glanced at the others who woke up. "Ulf, Clifford, you two stay on the second floor with Wright, hold that gap, I'm afraid those ghosts will fly in, and the others will follow me down!"
The crowd hurried downstairs, and Tirin watched warily outside, and when he heard the footsteps of his companions, he spoke without looking back. "There are more and more, what are they doing here, have they discovered us?"
"No way, the enchantment won't 'reveal' us. Nerfi glanced out of the room and quickly retracted her head. "Looking at the appearance of those ghosts, it seems that they are also waiting for something, otherwise there is no need to gather, they would have rushed in a long time ago. β
"Will they wait until there are enough of them to attack, then we will die? Zach clenched his sword nervously, ready for battle.
Xavier, who was standing on the other side, also cursed nervously and in a low voice. "Before they are fully assembled, we can rush out with all our might, and maybe we can escape from here and go outside into the woods. β
"yes, give it a try, it's better than waiting here to die. Zach couldn't stop nodding, as if he was frightened by the ghost.
"Don't beat your morale down before the war starts!" Magill reprimanded his men in a low voice, then looked at Stan and Nerfi. "We don't have experience dealing with these things, what advice do you have?"
Stan frowned, his hands rubbing. "These ghosts, as scary as they may look, are not very fast, and as long as you keep your distance from them, there is no danger. β
Nerfi nodded. "Stan is right, but if we hadn't escaped before they rushed in, our chances of winning in such a small space were slim. β
"Your suggestion is that we rush out as soon as possible?" Magill 'touched' his chin, and the knight captain showed his composure at this time, and he didn't panic at all.
"No, you can't rush out blindly until you know their intentions, I still don't believe that our whereabouts have been discovered by them, my enchantment is not strong, but it has never been wrong, it's strange......" Nerfi bit her lower lip and pulled out her wand. "But if the ghost continues to push here, then we'll have to venture out of here. β
Tirin retracted his head. "They still haven't come, they're still spinning in circles, but they're still increasing!"
"Do they have any plans?" Stan asked, confused.
Nerfi shook her head in confusion as well. "No way, the ghosts barely think, they just unconsciously attack all living things, and they don't have any plans at all. β
"That'......" Stan muttered under his breath as something suddenly occurred to him and looked up at the room.
Magill spotted his movements. "What do you think of?"
"Someone must be directing them, how can they gather together if they don't have a mind, there must be something wrong with such orderly action!" Stan said, examining every dark corner of the room.
Nerfi dismisses Stan's speculation. "No one can command ghosts, they don't know how to follow orders. β
Stan checks all the corners of the first floor and walks back to the mage. "In that case, someone deliberately lured the ghost here, and besides, he must still be nearby!"
This time, Nerfi nodded approvingly. "It's possible, but we can't even get out of the house, let alone find the guy. β
"I thought of a possibility. Wright poked his head down from the second floor, and everyone was startled by his hoarse voice and head hanging from the ceiling board on the first floor.
"Hell, Wright, if you talk like that again, I'm going to throw you out and feed those ghosts!" Zach was closest to the stairs and almost sat on the ground.
Stan grabbed Zach and looked up at Wright's head. "What's possible, let's talk about it. β
Wright grabbed the floor with both hands and tumbled down the stairs. "Nerfi just said that these ghosts don't have a mind, they only chase living things, so the person who lured them here must be in a place where the ghosts can't reach, and anywhere outside the house, the ghosts can get there, so ......" Wright swallowed and leaned over Stan in fear. "He's within the confines of this room. β
"What!" the knights immediately scanned the house, but nothing happened, and Magill rushed to Wright. "It's been so long since we've been in the house, and we haven't seen anyone but us, how can there be anyone else?"
Stan sighs incomprehensibly. "Magir is right, and Nerfi's barrier can prevent all living people's breath from being transmitted outside the house, and that person can't lure the ghosts even if they are inside. β
"There's another place that's within the range of the house, but it's not in the barrier, and the ghosts can't get there. Wright looked up and looked alarmingly towards the roof. "...... on the roof"
Everyone involuntarily raised their heads, and Magill suddenly realized that he ran quickly to the second floor. "Hell, I didn't expect him to be on the roof until he got enough ghosts! Stan, Nerfi, you come with me, and the others guard the door!"
On the second floor, Ulf and Clifford heard everyone's speculation, and the two were ready to climb onto the roof, but they didn't have any tools to climb, so they had to do it in a hurry. Magill tried to jump as hard as he could, but was still some distance from the gap in the roof. "Hell, how are we going to get up?"
"I could have used my flying skills to send us up, but the gap was too small for me to send two people up at the same time. Nerfi looked at the gap, from where the silvery moonlight shone in and sprinkled on the floor on the second floor.
Magill gave Ulf a quick look. "Just send me and Ulf up, the two of us are enough to get that guy down!"
"No, Magill!" Stan stepped forward and stopped the Captain Knight. "Since the other party can go to the roof quietly, he must also use flying skills, then the other party must be a mage, and it is better for me and Nerfi to go up. β
"Hell, that's not going to work, if you're in any danger, Mistress Sigurt 'Mond' won't let me go!" "Magill pushed Stan out of the way and walked over to Nerfi. "Cast a spell, I'm not afraid of any mage. β
"I refuse. Nerfi replied lightly, "I agree with Stan's offer, I'll go up with him, and you guys are waiting for our signal down there, ready to support us." β
"Damn, I'm the commander here! you must listen to me, mage!" Magill was on the verge of exploding, but he kept his voice low for fear of alarming the enemies on the roof.
Stan is glad that the room is dark, otherwise Magill's expression would have been terrifying. "Calm down, Magir, we're just going to go up and have a look, and Nerfi will 'get' you up again if we need to. β
"Look at the!, you might just go up and die, how can I 'give' my voice to the Great Lord?, you might as well let me rush out and fight with those ghosts!" Magir glared at Nerfi fiercely, and almost lifted her up.
Nerfi ignored him, instead slowly turning around and aiming at the gap. "Are you ready, Stan?"
"Yes, Nerfi, let's get started. Stan holds the sword in his right hand and his left hand in front of the mage.
Nerfi's lips opened and closed quickly, and their feet slowly lifted off the ground and flew towards the gap. The knights and Wright on the side looked dumbfounded, and their half-open mouths seemed to be about to scream. As Stan's head passed through the gap, Nerfi suddenly sped up his flight, and the figures of the two disappeared into the gap, and the moonlight that had been obscured by their figures shone in again.
