Chapter 20: Discovering Suspicions

Although Fastone and the others had not entered the black and gray mist, they had sent people in after all, so with that limited information, Casio and his party still avoided a lot of wandering Lightless Knights, saving everyone a lot of trouble.

While Casio and the others were walking, something appeared on the ground in front of them that didn't quite look like it should be.

When they came to the object, they saw a coffin-like object, half-buried in the dirt.

The reason why it seems to be said is because the overall outline of this thing is indeed the style of a Western coffin, but it is not completely sealed, but a coffin style with a hollow twisted pattern formed by an unknown black material.

When he saw this, Casio completely overturned the last assumption he had made at the beginning.

At the beginning, he met the Knight of Lightless in the Ring of the World, but he did not see the rout or destruction of the Council of the Ancient Forest and the Underworld, which made Casio feel very puzzled.

Because where the Knight of the Light passes, there must be a state of silence for all things!

Eventually, he learned from Farrani that the Lightless Knights had appeared out of nowhere, and Casio assumed that the Lightless Knights had partially awakened themselves and wandered underground.

Although the journey from Doreguleg, to the underground, and finally to the Ring of the Next World is too far, it is still possible, although the possibility is extreme.

Therefore, Casio did not overturn this assumption.

But it wasn't until he saw what resembled a coffin that Casio really overturned his initial assumption that the Knight of the Light had wandered here on his own.

Because this thing is the sleeping container of the Knight of the Lightless, an item that later generations called the "ominous black coffin"!

No matter how much Casio tried to convince himself, he couldn't assume that these Aluminous Knights would still run around with their sleeping "ominous black coffins" after waking up for unknown reasons.

After ruling out the possibility that the Knight of the Light himself was running around with the "ominous black coffin", then there was only one possibility left.

The Knight of the Void was transported here with the "ominous black coffin" in his sleep!

Or more accurately, there was an accident during the transportation of the Lightless Knights, so these Lightless Knights woke up early!

This is both good and bad news for Casio.

The good news is that the course of history doesn't seem to have changed much now, and is still following the process he knew, and the bad news is, who would actually transport such a terrifying being as the Aluminous Knight out of the ruins of Doregureg?

And what is their purpose?

After thinking about it, Casio looked at Fastone, "Do you know what this is?"

Fastone shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything, but his eyes flickered imperceptibly.

Casio's pupils shrank and he didn't say anything, telling everyone to move on and be careful of the Aluminous Knight who could appear at any time.

As he continued to move forward, Casio secretly brought Jonathan and the others to his side, and asked Jonathan to perform a universal Lingzi technique used to isolate sounds.

"Be careful, there's something wrong with these guys. Although Casio didn't say it explicitly, he told the Jonathan three about the speculation in his heart about Fastone and others in another form.

Casio didn't necessarily suspect Faston, but under the deliberate questioning just now, Faston's performance made him suspicious.

And after thinking about it carefully, Casio also felt more and more that Faston and them were very suspicious.

"What's going on? what did you find?" Jonathan looked at Casio, his lips moving slightly.

"They told us that the Aphotic Knights had wandered here, but what I had just observed was that the Aluminous Knights might not have wandered here, but had been transported here. ”

"But just based on this, how can you be sure that it must be Faston, they are suspicious?"

Faced with this question, Casio did not give a clear answer, just told Jonathan to be careful.

After all, Casio himself doesn't actually have a clear reason to suspect Faston and them. It's just that the route transported by these Lightless Knights happens to be heading towards the Council of the Ancient Forest, so they regard Faston as the biggest suspect.

Although Casio did not give a clear answer, Jonathan and the others were more or less accustomed to Casio's ambiguous answer, so they did not continue to ask questions at the moment.

As they continued to go deeper, Casio and the others found more and more "ominous black coffins", as well as the corpses of the soldiers who entered the black and gray mist in Faston's mouth and never went out.

It's just that now these corpses have completely lost their proper color, and the whole is more like dried corpses that have been drained of water, staring at the sky with empty eyes.

When they saw these dried corpses, some of the soldiers on Faston's side who knew them all stepped forward with complicated expressions, wanting to bury these dried corpses.

However, the corner of Casio's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly stopped him, "Be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw those dried corpses suddenly turn their heads, and with the long swords that had been mottled and rusted in their hands, they attacked the soldiers closest to him.

Fortunately, the strength left of these dried corpses was not very strong, so the most seriously injured of these soldiers was only the arm scratched by the other party.

Although the crowd was a little flustered, they quickly organized an attack and turned all the dried corpses into dust.

"How do you know that?" Faseton stared straight at Casio, his face cold and serious.

Casio had just stopped the corpses before they could move, which showed that he knew that the corpses were going to attack.

And there are too many problems with this.

Casio of course knew that these dried corpses would attack, because the people whose souls were sucked by the Aphotic Knight in the previous life would become such dried corpses, and then become the lackeys of the Aluminous Knight, and begin to attack all living beings.

However, Casio didn't tell Fastone about this, but responded in the same cold voice: "Instead of caring about this issue, I think you might as well get out of here with someone quickly, because the Knight of the Aluminous will be coming soon." ”

Because Casio had just predicted the behavior of the dried corpse, although Faston was very dissatisfied with Casio's current attitude, they still gave an order to the team to evacuate the place after thinking about it for a while.

As Faststone's order was given, everyone quickly continued to move towards the interior of the black-gray mist.

Soon after they left, a knight of the Void gathered from all around, looking at the shattered corpses on the ground with some stunned eyes.

Then, following the breath of Casio and the other living, they tracked it down directly.
