Chapter 175: The Return
Haunted, there will be such a thing?
Wang Chu followed behind a few people and thought, but in his own opinion, such a thing as magic is already mysterious enough, and it is not difficult to understand with a few ghosts.
"I don't believe in any ghosts, do you believe that?" Al had always been at the front of the student ranks, and as a paladin, he didn't seem to have room for anything other than his beliefs.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Chu feels that he is the most dangerous in this group of people.
Faith is sometimes a weapon! It's just that the level of the little paladin brother Al is not high now, and if he grows up to a high-level paladin, he doesn't know what it will look like.
"Actually, if you want to talk about ghosts, it's not without ......," Cyra said suddenly.
Several people looked at him at the same time, and the first one just said that it couldn't be him, why did it change after a while.
"Well, I mean what I saw in a book, it's not an authoritative book, just read it as a story book. ”
Paper is relatively expensive in this world, so only those classics of the Magician Association will be used, Wang Chu has seen a few books when he was in the large library of Hajar Academy, and most of the others are leather paper, which is made of some kind of animal fur dried and ironed.
There are many kinds of books, in addition to the authoritative books provided in these places, there are also some that can be bought on the street, which is a story book or something similar, most of which are written by famous bards and scholars from all over the world, and only represent their personal opinions and have little credibility.
Even some of the stories are fabricated to pass the time in order to be content with an idle life.
I remember that at home, the emir liked this kind of thing very much, especially the stories of knights and princesses of various small countries, or the various strange episodes of a girl from a small mountain village falling in love with a noble young master.
When I was resting in Lias's room before, I could hear the story of so-and-so in the chat between the two sisters almost every few days, and it had become a daily routine.
And Lias was not interested in any of this, and only listened to Emir every time.
After a long time, Wang Chu still remembers such a few little stories.
"How can you believe those stories, I have read them and say that the desert is full of beautiful forests and lakes!" retorted Cecia.
Uh, everyone has a black line.
Who wrote such an irresponsible story, the next time I see that author, I have to knock him to death.
"So, I'm just going to take a look...... But the author of the book is not a bard, but a scholar, you know, I study warlock magic, and I pay attention to strange phenomena and curses, and the story says that in the northern kingdom, a paladin who secretly studied black magic was found and finally beheaded in the cathedral, but strangely enough, in the years since, people often hear the sound of horses' hooves and roaring at night. Like storytelling, Cylla's words appealed to several other students.
"What's that?" Lucia asked curiously.
Wang Chu also paid attention to their chat, and the deer still jumped behind him because he couldn't understand.
Put on a serious face, as if the thing was what you saw with your own eyes.
The whole team was still advancing, but several students were waiting for Cyra's answer.
"It was a local festival, and it was customary for every house to hang a light outside the house, and that night a headless knight was seen flying through the sky in his former armor!" said Cylla.
A knight without a head!
"Is it the knight who died?"
"Because that knight happened to be decapitated, and the headless horseman in the sky was wearing the armor of the other party and riding the mount of his life. Cyra whispered, almost exactly like the people who tell the ghost story.
The others listened attentively.
"So that's what ghosts say? And after that. Several students were eager to know what would happen next.
"These are all stories that are not true, but the purpose behind is that the Cathedral came forward to place the body of the beheaded knight in the back of the church along with the other paladins who died honorably, and no one has seen the Headless Horseman again. ”
The place of the cathedral is where the teachings of the Light are spread and where the greatest gifts are received.
After listening to this, several students were silent, even Wang Chu was thinking that these stories were not groundless, there were always some things that could not be explained by common sense, not to mention that this was still a place with all kinds of magic.
"Well, these things are all in the story anyway, and they don't necessarily be true. Cyra said with a smile, but looked at the other companions with serious expressions.
"Why don't we organize a visit then?"
That's what it means.
Al immediately chimed in, and the others nodded.
However, Wang Chu in the back was helpless when he heard it, these young people are really not afraid, if there is really danger, they are not going to send experience.
But then again, I also want to go and see what it is, that place is also connected to the forest, and the mine cave kobold that the fawn mentioned may also be in that place...... None of the information I heard along the way said anything about the kobolds in the mines.
Compared to the famine in some areas, the fire element in the center of the earth is the most threatening.
They can't be allowed to get out again.
..................
With supplies from the small town of Waldson, the expeditionary force did not encounter any other problems on the entire return journey, and when they came before, it was snowing, and when they returned, the entire mountain road was already able to travel together.
The most frequent contacts were the merchants who visited the two places, and the carriage looked curiously at the expeditionary force.
It took about ten days to stop and stop along the way.
At noon that day, the troops in front suddenly said excitedly.
"Push harder, and we'll be able to see the watchtower of Hajar. ”
Wang Chu looked up, and on the top of almost every low hill among the mountains, there was an artificially built watchtower.
This is the outermost fortification of Hajar City, and it was these soldiers who discovered the infected werewolves who had escaped from the desert......
The whole team quickened their pace slightly, and although they could be seen, there was still some distance between them.
Far away, there was a place where you could already see the watchtower...... Then it was to use the flying summoning beast to come and reconnoitre, after all, the team of thousands of people could see it from a long distance.
At this moment, a soldier on a griffin flew in the sky.
The speed was soon flying above the team in the blink of an eye.
"What are your troops, and why did you enter the territory of Hajar City? He habitually said how many times he repeated it every day, but before he could say it, he recognized several of the generals he was leading to.
"Knight, you're finally back!" he said in surprise.
