Chapter Forty-Eight: Light and Murder
"Don't be impulsive, Wesker, we're here on the commission of the village chief, and we're here to find out what is going on. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tully stepped forward and protected Carmen Alicia behind him.
Wesker looked at everyone viciously, he was an experienced ranger, he could see that Alicia and his party were definitely not ordinary people, and he also knew that if he really wanted to fight, it would be difficult for him to win, Wesker walked in front of Alicia angrily, he stared at Alicia sternly, and the long elephant trunk seemed to be panting for breath because of anger.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Wesker, but we knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, thinking something was wrong. β
Alicia apologized sincerely, Wesker seemed to soften, his expression was not so terrible, he glanced at the diary in Alicia's hand, Alicia rushed to the courier, Wesker took it, he stared at the diary in his hand, and was speechless for a long time.
"Lord Wesker......" Alicia saw Wesker standing still, just staring at the diary, but not speaking, so she called out softly.
"I'm not an adult, I'm just an old elephant orc facing death. Wesker said softly, smiling wryly, as he put the journal on the table again, then turned to look at Alicia and the others.
"What do you want to know?" Wesker swept over Alicia and the others one by one, he felt that the group of people in front of him was by no means ordinary adventurers, and this might be an opportunity for himself.
Alicia and Tully glanced at each other, Terry wanted to ask questions first, but was glared at by Miria, and retreated, this important scene, it is better for Alicia or Tully to ask questions, after all, Terry is a person who is prone to saying the wrong thing.
"The first thing we wanted to know was about Susan Witch. Alicia asked softly, for fear of angering Wesker, who didn't seem to be too kind-tempered.
"That's all a legend of a deceitful child!Although Susan Hills is famous for Susan, the Witch of the Hills is long dead!" Wesker said impatiently, for this kind of problem Wesker has always felt very naΓ―ve.
"But what exactly did the villagers see?" Alicia continued, and as she said the question, she observed Wesker frown unnaturally, there must be something wrong with this.
"Hells knows what they saw, the people of this village like to be cranky, maybe they just saw hallucinations. Wesker didn't seem so confident when he said this, maybe ordinary people wouldn't notice it, but Alicia and the others felt something strange.
"What about the contents of the diary? Wesker, you must be lying, and I suspect that the people the villagers saw must have some connection with the people mentioned in your diary. Tully stared straight at Wesker, who immediately glared at Tully, but Tully didn't seem to flinch, he waited for Wesker's answer.
β...... Who are you?" Wesker didn't answer Tully's question, but instead asked about the identities of Alicia and the others, and it was no wonder that Alicia's group of people was so extraordinary.
"Adventurers. Tully whispered.
"Hmph, since neither of us has the intention of being honest, then there is no need to continue talking. Wesker wasn't happy with this answer.
"We are the Rangers of the Free Frontier. Alicia immediately took over, if Wesker really decided not to talk to them anymore, then Alicia and the others had nothing to do.
"The Free Frontier is so far away from here, are you a three-year-old kid?" Wesker was also quite unhappy with Alicia's question, after all, the distance between the Susan Hills and the Free Frontier was quite far away.
Alicia heard that Wesker was still not satisfied, so she nodded to Miria, Miria immediately understood, she took out a badge from her arms, the badge of the Border Rangers, the symbol of the rangers, this kind of badge is usually pinned to their bodies, but this time out of action, Milia and other rangers put away the badge.
Wesker took the badge and checked it left and right, he hadn't seen the Ranger's badge, so he didn't dare to be sure of the authenticity, at this time he had some more doubts in his heart, Alicia saw that Wesker still couldn't pay attention, so he glanced at Jotun again, and Jotun of course immediately understood.
"Meow, rangers, show your badges to this old ranger. Jotun shouted, first pulling out his Ranger badge, followed by Spencer Jessica, Joseph, Terry, and Veronica.
Seeing so many identical badges, and the back of the badge was engraved with everyone's name, which made Wesker have to believe it, after Wesker knew the identity of Alicia and the others, he was a little excited, the Frontier Ranger Group still has a certain reputation on the Yarrow Continent, thanks to the prestige of Sturit Batista, the leader of the Ranger Group.
"Why did the rangers of the Frontier Rangers come to this small village?" asked Wesker in disbelief, although his tone still seemed so incredulous, but the facts were in front of him, and he had to believe it.
"We're doing some important work for the Free Frontier this time, and we happen to be passing through here. Alicia smiled, knowing that Wesker had believed them.
"Hmm...... If it's a Borderlands Rangers...... Wesker seems to have made up his mind.
"As for the person in my diary, I can't tell you the identity of this person because we have an agreement, but I can tell you for sure that this person is not Susan Witch. Wesker let his guard down, but there were some issues that he followed by his principles, and Alicia understood.
"Is that the person the villagers are seeing the same person you are talking about?" asked Tully directly, which was still very crucial.
But I assure you, this man is harmless. "It seems that Wesker is hell-bent on protecting this mysterious man, and Wesker trusts this man.
"Why did Raziz's adventure party disappear?" Miria asked sharply, she didn't like roundabout questions, Joseph looked at Miria and smiled slightly, this arrogant wingman didn't seem to be just dissatisfied with humans, but also didn't have much affection for orcs.
"Laziz and they found something else in their investigation, and they followed the clues to the ruins of the temple of Karahil (the goddess of light) in the north, and then they lost news from there. Wesker looked worried, and he didn't know if he was worried about the Laziz team, or if he was worried about something else.
"Oh my God, why is the temple of the goddess of light abandoned?
Seeing Veronica's reaction like this, Wesker couldn't help but show a look of disdain, he had always hated these priests the most, although Wesker himself believed in the Ranger goddess Rhona, but he was very unaccustomed to those priests who had strong beliefs.
It is said that once the village of the Susan Hills was a large village with a large population, but then most of the people moved and the temple was deserted because no one took care of it. β
Wesker wasn't entirely aware of these things, but he had heard the villagers talk about it more than once, and the villagers seemed to be trying to prove that their village had ever been glorious.
"The ruins of the Temple of Karahil...... There must be something weird ...... there," Tully whispered, holding his chin in his hand and staring at the floor, not as if he were talking to anyone else, but to himself, that Tali must be thinking about something.
"Do you know anyone from Team Laziz?" Jessica asked her own question, but it was still an important question, and everyone waited for Wesker's answer.
"I'm not familiar with it, they just met with me and asked me stupid questions when they started to carry out the village chief's commission. Wesker didn't seem to be angry about it, as if he didn't like Laziz's team very much.
"What kind of people are they?" Terry was finally able to interject, and this time no one stopped him, he was still as excited as ever, as always enthusiastic.
"There were five of them, Laziz was the leader, he was a male human in his thirties, and then there was a human female in their ranks, a male winged man with folded wings (no wings or mutilated wings), a male dog spirit, and a female snake man. Wesker said dismissively, and it seemed that he didn't have a good opinion of Team Laziz.
"This team configuration ...... It's been a matter of being selective about race......" Terry couldn't help but complain, and Jessica and Veronica agreed.
With such a configuration of his own adventure team, it can be felt that Laziz likes to be in the limelight, after all, such an adventure team of different races, no matter where he goes, will attract the attention of others, and Alicia and the others can now understand why Wesker has a dislike for Laziz's team.
"Okay, now that we know some of the characteristics of Laziz and the others, this also facilitates our search, and for the search work, it's up to Milia and Terry. Tully said softly.
Miria and Terry are both good at surviving in the wild, and they are also good at chasing trails, so you can't go wrong with following them. Hearing Maester Tully say this, Miria raised her head haughtily, and Terry laughed happily.
"Then let's head to the ruins of the Temple of Karahil, there will definitely be a clue there. Alicia smiled slightly, she trusted both Miria and Terry very much, so this time it was up to them to show their skills.
After hearing the decision of Alicia and the others, Wesker showed a worried look again, and Tully noticed Wesker's appearance, Tully frowned and looked at Wesker, Wesker was startled, he found that Tully was staring at him, and his gaze was a little cold.
"Is there anything else? What else do you know? If you hide from us, you could kill us. Tali said in a cold tone, he couldn't allow anything to threaten Alicia, because she was the Queen of the Night of the Free Frontiers and the hope of the Free Frontiers.
"I'm actually with ...... I've actually gone to the ruins of the Temple of Karahil myself!"
Wesker tried to calm down his tone, but it still showed a flaw, Alicia and the others noticed that Wesker was definitely not the ruins of the Karahil Temple that we went to alone, but Alicia didn't say anything, they wanted to see what Wesker was trying to say.
"But I ...... I can't find anything over there, because there are a lot of Corell's followers gathered there right now!" Wesker said through gritted teeth, uneasy.
"Followers of Koriel, followers of the murder god Koriel?" Veronica looked horrified, and Wesker nodded heavily.
Curell, the god of murder, also commonly known as the god of murder, this is the most famous dark god on the Yarrow continent, on the Yarrow continent, it is expressly forbidden to believe in Kreel, but there are still many people who believe in Krell in private, and Krell's sect is also classified as a cult.
"No! we must hurry to the temple of Karahil!I can't let the followers of Koriel defile the temple of Karahil!" Veronica shouted excitedly, there was nothing worse than an insult to his faith.
"Are you a believer in Corel...... Belief in the god of murder is not done by normal people in itself, and they still get together...... This is a bunch of crazy people, they must have some kind of conspiracy, it seems that this matter is no longer a simple legend of the Susan hills, if this is the case, then Laziz they may ......"
Tali sensed that something was wrong, a group of Korrell's followers got together, then something would definitely happen, so Alicia and the others had to hurry up to the ruins of the Carahir Temple.
Wesker saw the determination of Alicia and the others, and Wesker also secretly made up his mind, after all, he had a reason to be involved, Wesker closed his eyes and took a heavy breath.
"I'll be there too. Wesker exclaimed.
"Why? Don't you want to worry about this?" Alicia looked at Wesker, who sensed that Wesker had something to hide.
"I'll go there, but I'm not going with you, let's go our separate ways, and if we have the chance, meet at the ruins of the Temple of Karahil. Wesker said firmly, and no one could refute it.
Tully nodded, Tully now knew that Wesker wanted to use them as bait and then achieve some kind of goal for himself, this little trick could not hide from Tully, Tully showed a cold smile......
