Chapter Forty-Seven: The Shadow of the Mausoleum

The lack of news from the Laziz team, the adventure team responsible for investigating the witches in the hills of Susan, has made the villagers worried, and the whereabouts of the Laziz team have become a topic of discussion among the villagers in the tavern that night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Some people say that the Laziz team took the mercenary money and ran away, and they are simply a bunch of liars. Others say that the Laziz team is afraid that they have been poisoned by the witches of the hills.

Seeing the villagers' worried faces strengthened Carmen Alicia's determination to find out the truth, and after discussing with Tully, Alicia decided to go to the village chief and the village's ranger wesker early the next morning to find out the situation.

The next day, Alicia and her companions visited the village chief, who was very surprised to see Alicia and the others, and when Alicia showed her intentions, the village chief became enthusiastic, but also showed a worried mentality.

"There are five members of the Laziz team, and they are all some famous adventurers in this area, so I commissioned Laziz to investigate the matter of the hill witches, who would have thought that even the members of the Laziz team disappeared together. ”

The village chief blamed himself very much, but felt that Laziz and the others had probably suffered misfortune, and the reason why they encountered misfortune was precisely because of the entrustment given to them by the village chief himself.

"Is there really a witch in this hill?" Terry had always been most interested in these strange things, and he was very excited, which made the village chief a little unhappy.

"Susan Witch has always been a legend, but recently many people have found her traces, I think it's definitely not without reason, don't take this thing as an interesting thing!"

"We'll help investigate this, don't worry, not just because of the Hill Witches, but because of the adventurers of Laziz. Alicia said softly, but in a resolute tone, as if she could not tolerate the village chief's refusal.

"Thank you for your kindness...... But I don't have any money left...... Most of the money is paid to Laziz them......" The village chief looked embarrassed and helpless, for such a small village, hiring adventurers might cost them a lot of money, but this is also something that cannot be helped.

"We don't get paid. Miria said this, and she looked at Alicia, who smiled back, and of course this is what Alicia thought.

"yes, yes, we've always liked to trade at a loss. Jotun was quite helpless, and both Jordan and Tully were initially reluctant to approve of this matter, but in the end they had to compromise with Alicia.

"Thank you so much! all the people of the village will remember your good deeds, may Karahir (the goddess of light) bless you!" the village chief looked very excited, Alicia did him a great favor by such an act.

Alicia waved her hand and smiled that it was nothing, Terry and Spencer Jessica were eager to try, Miria did not object to Alicia's approach, after all, she had to carry out her own balance, and Joseph was smiling and silent, Veronica would be happy to do such a good deed for the sake of the Goddess of Light, Jotun was a little angry, but he was not good at saying anything, and Tully was thinking about the whole thing, he felt that it was not so simple.

"Your ranger, that Elephant Orc Wesker, why would he be so opposed to searching for the Hill Witch?" asked Tully suddenly.

He didn't really support Alicia in such a noddle business, after all, in Tully's opinion, the purpose of this trip was the most important thing, but if Alicia insisted on figuring out this matter, then Tully would also fully support Alicia, because he was a maestro of the Free Frontiers and a maestro of the Queen of the Night.

"Wesker! He's too old, maybe he doesn't want to get himself into any trouble, to be honest, it's time for our village to change a ranger, after all, Wesker's age can't last long, and if I have a chance, I should send someone to the surrounding cities to go around, after all, it's not easy to find a ranger in our unmanaged area." The village chief said helplessly.

After hearing the village chief's statement, Tali didn't quite agree with this reason, and it seemed that he really needed to have a good chat with Wesker, the elephant ranger. With this, Alicia and the others said goodbye to the village chief, and their next destination was the Ranger Hut where Wesker lived.

"How old is that Wesker, is he really old?" asked Veronica, shortly after she walked out of the village chief's house.

"The life span of orcs is very short, most orcs are adults at the age of ten, orcs in their teens can be in charge alone, and orcs at the age of twenty have entered the golden period of the body, and at the age of thirty, orcs are in their twilight years, and the life span of orcs is generally in their thirties and they are about to face death, and a few orcs are considered to be long-lived in their forties. ”

Tully patiently explained to Veronica, but this knowledge was all learned by Tully from books, and he had never seen many orcs in his life, after all, the Midtown Federation was a place where humans were supreme and creatures of other races were strictly forbidden to enter.

"That Wesker was probably in his thirties, and I guess he was around thirty-five. Terry said suddenly, and looked assured.

"No, how can you be so sure?" Veronica said incredulously, after all, Terry had so many stupid things.

"I've often traveled around the Yarrow Continent, and when I was in the mercenary group before, many of my comrades-in-arms were orcs, so I know them well. Terry was a little unhappy with Veronica's attitude, and the thing Terry hated most was that people didn't trust him, and that never changed.

Veronica saw that Terry was a little unhappy, so she quickly apologized, in some things, Terry did know more than Veronica, which Veronica was very honest, and Tully and the others also believed Terry's words, because they all knew that Terry was not the kind of person who said big things.

"That village chief seems to be a selfish person. Joseph suddenly squinted and said with a smile.

"Why do you say that?" Jessica said she didn't understand, she didn't feel much about how selfish the village chief was.

"First of all, the Laziz team has disappeared, and when we said we wanted to get involved, the village chief was only worried about money, and he didn't say anything about whether we would be in danger. Joseph explained with a smile, which caused Jessica, Terry, and Veronica to nod their heads in agreement.

"And what about the second point?" Terry asked hurriedly.

"The second point is about Wesker, the village chief wants to replace him quickly and find a new Ranger, I don't think it's the reason to care about Wesker's body. Joseph continued to smile, and Jessica, Terry, and Veronica agreed.

"Most people are selfish, stop looking into such small problems, let's go to Wesker. Tully whispered that most people are selfish, and Tully knows that.

Wesker's Ranger Cottage was still some distance from the village, and Alicia and the others crossed a small wooded area to a house with a stream, which was not too large a cabin, which was presumably where Wesker lived.

"Papapa, is anyone home?"

Alicia tapped softly on the wooden door of the hut and shouted softly, but there was no answer, Alicia looked back at everyone, and continued to knock on the door, and asked softly, but there was still no answer.

Jotun couldn't help it, he stepped forward, he pulled Alicia back, and he knocked on the door, Jotun knocked on the door with the same force as Alicia.

"Knock knock, knock

Jotun knocked on the wooden door and shouted, in such a way that even the people in the small village not far away could hear it, but the cabin still did not move, and Jotun also turned his head and looked at everyone with a helpless look.

Tully was afraid that something would happen, so he ordered Jotun to force the door, and Jotun understood, so he hit the wooden door a few times, and finally the wooden door was knocked open by Jotun, and everyone rushed in under the leadership of Tully.

When everyone rushed into the cabin, they were choked by a musty smell, the cabin had obviously been uninhabited for a few days, and Alicia and the others were very strange, because yesterday, they had seen Wesker arguing with the village chief, had it been that Wesker hadn't been home for a few days?

Everyone felt that this was definitely not so simple, and at Alicia's orders, everyone began to look for clues in the cabin, hoping to gain something here, otherwise it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack just to search for Laziz and others in the Susan hills.

"There's a diary here!" Jessica was the first to notice something, and everyone gathered around her, handing Alicia a dirty diary she had found.

Alicia checked the diary left and right, this is a very ordinary diary, and it is relatively worn, Alicia opened the diary, some of the handwriting on the diary is no longer clear, and the date has been blurred, but the general content can still be vaguely seen, and its general content is as follows:

XXX day.

I found that XXX, she was weird, she was not the same as the XXX in XXX, she XXX, I felt incredible, I needed XXX.

XXX day.

I've been trying to communicate with her lately, she seems XXX, I want to be able to make her smile, she looks XXX, I have to.

XXX day.

It's so XXX, I swear, I've never seen XXX like this, I have to XXX to keep it a secret, I made an agreement with her, it's XXX, that's right, I have to do it.

At the back of the diary, there are some records of daily life, how the villagers communicate, it can be seen from the diary, Wesker loves this place, and then the diary also records some of the content of Wesker's battle with other creatures that threaten the village, and there are also some records about this mysterious "her", but most of the text has been blurred, making it impossible to determine what happened, and the last few articles of the diary have attracted the attention of Alicia and others, and the final content is roughly as follows:

XXX day.

It seems that someone XXX, I have to XXX, or she will definitely be discovered!

XXX day.

The village chief found a group of adventurers out of nowhere, led by a leader named Laziz, who seemed to be searching the Susan Hills and trying to find out the truth about the Hill Witches, and I had to stop them!

The above are the last few entries in the diary, the last record is particularly clear, everyone looks at Alicia, they all have their own thoughts in their hearts, could it be that everything is the ghost of this elephant orc ranger Wesker? Could it be that the people of Laziz's team were all killed by Wesker? Everyone was puzzled.

"Who are you?!How dare you break into my house!Do you want to die?!" Suddenly, an angry roar came, Alicia and the others hurriedly looked, only to see Wesker rushing into the room angrily, he held a two-handed sword, and looked at Alicia and the others viciously, as if he wanted to tear Alicia and the others apart......
