Chapter 147: Small Town Horror - The Secret Behind the Scenes
Sometimes, although the battle lasts for a long time, the difference between victory and defeat is often only a moment.
Another memorable victory, but it's not yet time to enjoy the fruits of victory. Barrett immediately picked up the constant 'Luminomy' stone, held it in the palm of his hand, and then used the glimmer of light that flowed from the gap in his palm to find the door of the barn.
The leader of the corpse demon who had been cut in two was lying on the ground, his shriveled head was only connected to the small half of his body, and he looked miserable and panting, although he was not dead yet, but he was not at all threatened.
As the victor, Barrett needs to confirm whether this fierce battle will attract some other "uninvited guests" similar to him, and whether the cold sound of horses' hooves will be heard nearby.
There wasn't much food in the barn, just some hay and timber piled up in the corner. Several broken barn jars, like chopped and broken corpses on the ground, shattered the ground, and some shriveled, rotten rye and wheat seeds flowed out of the jars.
Barrett walked to the door, put her ear to the wooden door, and listened and listened intently. Outside the wooden door, there was as quiet as ever, with the occasional creaking sound in the distance, as if a house was wailing in pain, and a faint ethereal murmur echoing in the night sky, the unconscious whispers of ghosts as they fluttered.
Luckily, there was no sound of armor rubbing, and there was no of the annoying sound of horses' hooves.
With a reassuring exhalation, Barrett fumbled to open the wooden door again, poked his head out of the barn, and looked out of the barn.
As far as the eye could see, nothing was found.
Maybe it's because the area is so remote that there are few undead, or maybe it's because the undead around it aren't in the habit of joining in the fun, but in short, there are no good people who want to come and watch the fierce battle that took place in the barn.
After confirming that no other undead were present, Barrett closed the wooden door again and turned back to begin searching for the loot. But before that, he had one more thing to do.
He dragged his sword in front of the corpse leader, looked down at this very difficult opponent, and then pressed the blade in his hand against its head, "Is there anything you want to say?"
"I've been planning for so long, and I've been encroaching on this place little by little, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would be destroyed by you, a nobody. The corpse leader looked up at Barrett with a vicious look on his face, the corrupt skin on his jaws opening and closing, "You stupid human has no idea what great plan you are standing in the way! Even if I die out for eternity, the game will still go on! Those human mages think that after a long time of repair, they can restore this place to its original state? Hmph, impossible, never!"
Barrett looked at this just a corpse demon with a calm face, and he faintly realized at this time that in "The Lonely Knight", after defeating those villains, why do the protagonists always have to make them repent, and then those villains will babble endlessly, although the content does not match the confession at all, but it shows the greatness of the protagonist.
Just like now. To be honest, it felt really good.
And why do the villains cooperate so much and keep nagging? Of course, they are very unwilling to fail, just like this guy in front of them. The unwillingness in its eyes was so strong that it even covered up its resentment towards Barrett.
The leader of the drow-turned-corpse demon lay on the ground and continued its deathbed confession, "Do you think you'll be relieved that you've eliminated that stupid guy 'Peso', that hungry ghost who always can't get enough to eat, and that you've eliminated Alfre, Bertrem, Ansel, and me?
Heh, this sealed space seems to hold other secrets, Barrett raised an eyebrow. However, this is not something he needs to pay attention to, he is just an uninvited guest who inadvertently intrudes into this secret, as long as he completes his little mission and leaves, that's it.
"I thought your deathbed confession could be a little more innovative. Barrett spoke. "In the end, it's still a plan, a shady scene, a mastermind behind the scenes, and so on. To be honest, I don't care about any of that. I'm more curious to know if you're going to buy me off with some treasure, really, you can give it a try. Or maybe before you die, you start remembering that some pretty drow girl is waiting for you to go back and marry her, oh, sorry, I forgot that you have women in power, so she should have come to marry you. ”
The reluctance and malice on the corpse demon's face turned into surprise and resentment, and then there was even a miraculous faint flush on the white and shriveled face - it felt insulted, and it felt right.
Immediately afterward, it closed its mouth and refused to say another word.
"Nothing else to say?" Barrett asked again, and then he raised his sword and waited for the last words of the other.
"Oloth zhah tuth abbil lueth ogglin" it whispered with its eyes closed, before the blade pierced its skull.
......
After taking out the last of the ghouls, Barrett began to clean up the battlefield.
The first thing that caught his eye was the pale green sword that had caused him so much trouble in battle. This strange weapon is clearly not an ordinary product.
Barrett bent down to pick it up, and suddenly felt a cold breath pass from the hilt of the sword. While paralyzing his palms, the coldness continued to spread upward, making his soul feel stiff for a while.
"Damn it!" Barrett flicked his sword out, allowing it to crash into the barn wall and bounce off the ground.
It is clear that this weapon is not intended for living people, but this does not prevent it from being able to sell for a good price. But when asked, how do you put it in the spatial ring?
Barrett thought about the time of two heartbeats and found the answer. He came to the corpse of the corpse leader again, cut off its right hand with a sword, and then took the right hand covered with black sharp nails and walked towards the pale green sword on the ground.
He grasped the palm of the severed arm, and then used this hand to grasp the longsword, and the next moment, the palm of the longsword and the corpse entered the spatial ring.
Next, Barrett removed the light armor from the corpse leader's body. Of course, he didn't do this to see if the other party had a certain part, but to take a fancy to the light armor with a hollow pattern, although this light armor had been corroded and worn by negative energy, and was also cut by Barritt's sword, but he could still get a lot of useful information from those cumbersome patterns. Just like the tattoos on the top of the Nords' heads, the patterns on the clothing and armor of the elves and drow elves also represent a lot of content.
He planned to hand over the armor to Master Alvin, which must have been of some use.
Aside from armor and a sword, Barrett found a pair of earrings in the shape of a cross star, a silver badge from an unknown family, a magic scroll of unknown purpose, and nothing other than the corpse leader.
As a key figure in the villain, this guy actually has no space ring and no other space equipment, which undoubtedly makes Barrett very disappointed.
Poor ghost!" he cursed inwardly. Barrett then rummaged through several other corpses, but found only a few strange coins issued by an unknown era or country.
After collecting the loot, Barrett walked out of the barn and disappeared into the night.
......
The screen turns.
In this barn with a broken roof, the moonlight spread dimly, caressing the stumps and corpses weakly. The spirits of the undead returned to tranquility and enjoyed a rare rest.
And at this moment, a corpse demon who was hit by a flying axe suddenly opened his eyes.
......
