Chapter 62: Night in the Ruins

Except for the four knights on the first floor, everyone else was on the second floor preparing dinner, no one dared to risk lighting the fire, a group of people had to form a circle, Nerfi cast a small ball of light in the middle, with the help of a faint light, Magir quickly divided the food and water into several portions, and distributed them to everyone through his men.

Nerfi extinguished the ball of light, and the only glimmer of light was gone, and everyone ate dry food and cold water in the dark, no one spoke, only the sound of swallowing and drinking.

The moon rose higher and higher, and the silver-white moonlight shone through the gap in the roof of the second floor, and Wright never imagined that these knights of Canrito would dare to break into this ruin at night. On his way out of Nashville, Tillin told him that he had done his duty and could go back to care for his injured father. However, the young man is hot-headed and insists on continuing the adventure with the knights, Stan tells him that it is not an adventure, but a battle of life and death, but Wright does not care at all, the young man's adventurous spirit can make them heroes, but more often than not, it will put them in danger.

The moonlight shone on the knights sitting against the wall, reflecting their blank expressions, Wright finally couldn't hold it back, and asked in a low voice, "I still don't understand why you came here, knowing that there will be ...... here at night Ghosts, still staying in this isolated room, what if the ghosts rush in?"

Magill didn't move, just glanced at the young man and said nothing, Stan leaned his head over to Wright, and replied in a hoist's voice, "The purpose of our trip is to take back one of those mages, and we want to know what they brought that thing here, whatever the purpose, we must go deep into here and follow them." ”

"But how do you know they're here? based on the bodies that Ulf found? Maybe it was a few days ago, and they left here long ago. Wright leans his head over and nearly hits Stan's head in the dark.

Stan was about to answer when Tirin's head came back. "Where do you think they can go but here? Continue south? Go to Cape Storm? What else can there be but a storm that could engulf an entire fleet? This is the only place where the whole of Serendra could be their destination, and they are here, and they won't leave. ”

"Yes, they're here, and I can feel the agitation of those ghosts, certainly not for us who just got here. Nerfi speaks louder than Stan and Tillin.

Wright was still fidgeting. "Ghosts don't care who we are, they're all the same as humans as long as they're human, can they still recognize mages and knights? ”

"It's those evil mages. Nellfi corrected Wright, who had been sitting upright since she had eaten her dinner. "I've placed enchantments in every corner of the house, and while enchantments aren't my forte, they can at least keep our breath from leaking out. ”

Magill nodded, finally speaking. "That's enough, and for the rest I'll send someone to keep vigil, and I'll talk about it after tonight, and then we'll discuss the next plan when it's dawn. ”

Tirima held the back of the long dagger and thought about it for a moment. "I said, Magill, have you ever wondered how we're going to fight if we clash with those mages head-on? ”

Magir's body leaned forward slightly, looking at Tirin, who was facing the moonlight with his back to the moonlight, his face dark. "My knights are all one in a hundred, they are not randomly selected by the great lord, and I am confident that I can fight with each other. ”

"By what? Do you use your sword to fend off the opponent's fireball? You don't have a sword in the stone. Nerfi said coldly.

"Now you won't believe anything I say, especially after seeing the horrors of being trampled by magic, but I swear, you'll understand. Magill said no more, leaning against the wall again.

Ulf slept on his side on the floor, still muttering. "Don't be too presumptuous, while we're crawling on the brink of death, you're still learning how to dress up your cumbersome robes in the greenhouse of the Mage Tower. ”

As soon as Nerfi tried to reply, the other knights lay down on the ground, and it seemed that no one was ready to listen to her, so the mage turned around and sat facing outward.

Stan approached Nerfi and instructed with concern, "Magill will arrange a vigil, so let's rest, we don't know what awaits us tomorrow." ”

Nerfi frowned and looked at the night sky beyond the gap. "The magic fluctuations here are very strange and disturb my mind, and it makes it difficult for me to sleep. ”

"It's better to lie down than to sit, at least to rest your body. Stan also looks up at the sky, and through a gap almost three people wide, he can see the twinkling starry sky.

Nellfi nodded and fell asleep restlessly, Stan sitting beside her guarding, the silence outside him uneasy. "It's so quiet that you can't hear any insects or animals, and even the cemetery is livelier than here. ”

Magill laughs out loud when Stan says this, and his suppressed laughter sounds like an old man with asthma coughing. "Stan, when did you become so timid, I think you should sleep too, you won't feel scared when you fall asleep, your eyes will be open until dawn, and I will arrange the vigil. ”

Stan blushes, glad no one could notice it in the dark. "I'm joining the vigil too, and I'm also a knight of Canrito. ”

Magill opened his mouth to say something, and suddenly the floor under his ass was knocked three times, which was a signal given to him by the knight on the first floor, and the knight captain, who was still lazily leaning against the wall just now, immediately jumped up, walked quickly to the broken staircase and asked hurriedly on the first floor, "What's the matter, we haven't slept yet, there is a situation?"

"You'd better come down and take a look, Magill. It was Zach who spoke, and he was standing guard by the doorless entrance with his sword in hand.

Magir drew his sword and leaned quickly, and Tirin drew his dagger and ran down, only to see Xavier on the other side of the door, and two other knights standing beside the horses, ready to reassure them and prevent the animals from screaming in fright.

The knight captain slowly peeked out half of his head from the wall, and the moment he saw what he saw, he immediately retracted his head. "Hell, is that a ghost?"

Zach nodded. "I think so, I thought they didn't have a face, it fucking freaked me out. ”

After all, Tillin had seen something like it before, and was a little more tolerant than the knights, and he hid behind the wall, carefully observing the ghosts outside the house. The density of ghosts here was smaller than what he had encountered in Talheim, and there was only one ghost roaming within about thirty yards, and after looking at it for a while, Tirin noticed that there was something special about the ghosts in his sight. "Did you find it, they seem to have one thing in common. ”

"Hell, I don't want to stare at them so closely. Having said that, Magill pulled his face out and observed it with Tirin, and after half a minute of watching, the Knight Captain retracted his face. "I didn't see anything, and even if you tried to lure me into seeing it, I wouldn't be fooled. ”

"I don't use any tricks, don't you see? Tillin stopped looking out, leaning against the wall and whispering.

"Looking, are you looking for us?" Xavier said in a squeezing voice on the other side.

"Don't fucking scare yourself, you idiot!" Magill's voice was hoarse from nervousness and deliberate suppression. "You continue to monitor here, and let me know as soon as you have any circumstances. The knight captain was about to walk away when he glanced at Tirin. "You stay here too, and I'll change you in the middle of the night. ”

It was late at night, the moon had already passed most of the sky, Zach was almost unable to hold on, his heavy eyelids had been glued together several times, with perseverance he came to his senses again, he estimated the time, it should be almost time to change shifts. Tirin sat at his feet, his head drooping to indicate that he was asleep. Zach nodded to Xavier across from him, deciding to take one last look at the ghost outside the house, and then go and wake up his companions on the second floor to take their place. He closed his right eye and slowly stuck his head out, exposing only his left eye, and at this glance, he suddenly felt that the ghost's position was something wrong compared to the observation he had made five minutes earlier. Zach blinked and lifted his spirits, and this time, he was sure that his guess was correct, and quickly kicked Tirin at his feet, while gesturing to Xavier on the other side.

Tirin woke up with a spirit, and the three of them looked out of the house together, and the sight made them all gasp. The ghosts that had been scattered just now were gradually gathering at this time, almost twice as dense as before, or even more, and white and purple figures were floating towards this place, and there was no sign of stopping.

"Hell, wake up the others!" Tillin grabbed Zach and shoved him up the stairs, and the knight almost ran up the second floor.
