Chapter Eighty-Five: Bag Goes Out
Bagh is now the sheriff of Glamorgan, so he did not enter the Highland Kingdom with a large army, and after being dragged into the palace by the Eye of Fear, he couldn't wait to rush back that night because he was worried about the security of the jurisdiction.
Beverly would have had to send a messenger to bring her back, but now it doesn't have to be that much trouble. He only asked Yalei to open the Eye of Fear again, and Miss Headless Horseman, who had just returned to the jurisdiction and had not had time to enter the city, appeared in the palace again in the bloody light.
“......”
Bagh stood in the dust that was gradually dissipating, and the sketchboard was pressed against her chest, and the line of ellipses on it represented the mood of Miss Headless Horsemann right now.
The black-haired knight, whose body was hollowed out, naturally didn't have the energy to explain to her, squeezed out the last bit of strength, made a "leave everything to you" gesture to Beverly, and retreated with Charlene's support.
The red-haired boy hurriedly stepped forward and explained his intention to Bag, who immediately put his thumb on his chest and patted his shoulder with his left hand.
"So, how are you going to help us find that evil spirit?" the red-haired boy looked at her expectantly.
The Headless Horseman lowered his head, crackled and quickly finished, and handed the sketchboard to him:
"Is there a name?"
"Will, Will Smith, lives in a fishing village on the western outskirts of Edinburgh. Beverly hurriedly told her.
"Small meaning. ”
Bagh put down his sketchboard and walked to a shady place under a broken wall, clenched his hands and bowed his legs to stand, the black mist above his neck suddenly thickened.
"The Headless Horseman is the king of the undead. In fact, they have the ability to speak, but their language is extremely powerful, and they have incredible magical power. Pompeo explained at the right time:
"When the Headless Horsemann calls the name of a living. The person will die within a week, and this death curse is so powerful that even the Scourge Knight is not exempt, and can only break the curse by killing the spellcaster. And when the Headless Horsemann calls the name of the deceased, the other party becomes a servant of the spellcaster if they are not swept away by the River Styx. ”
"I've heard that, too. The old tomb robber cautiously interjected:
"However, it seems that the Headless Horsemann must be called in person and heard to be effective...... When we robbed the graves. When you encounter an angry Headless Horseman, just plug your ears and turn around and run. ”
"You don't know enough about that. The old man stroked his long beard a little proudly:
"The voices of the Headless Horsemen also have the ability to attract the undead with their wails. If you know the name of an undead, you can summon them from a distance. ”
"I see. Beverly and the others kept nodding their heads like chickens pecking rice.
At this time, the black mist around Bag's neck had condensed into substance, as if a head had grown. A beautiful female silhouette can be vaguely seen.
With her small mouth opening slightly. Powerful mana fluctuations hit the space like waves, and the sunlight seemed to be blocked by a curtain, and it became much dimmer.
"Wow, a
The terrifying sound waves burst out from the mouth of Miss Headless Horseman with majestic mana, and you can clearly see circles of ripples rippling out of the air, hitting everyone's eardrums and tearing their nerves.
Beverly opened his mouth and tried to cover his ears. A red hair still stood upside down in the sound waves.
Turning his head to look at his companion, he saw that Nicole's blonde hair had exploded like a hedgehog. Pompey was even more miserable, his hairstyle turned into an explosive head, and even his well-maintained beard turned into a swollen sea urchin.
Only Clarke, with a flat head and a green-skinned beard, has no pressure.
Next, the glass windows of the nearby building burst almost at the same time, and after more than ten seconds, the passing birds in the sky were stunned and fell weakly, and a bare-ass albatross fell directly at Nicole's feet.
"Woo-woo-woo
The sound, which was so sharp that it could be heard by human hearing, reverberated through everyone's minds, and the red-haired boy felt as if his soul had been swept out of his body, swirling around with the sound waves.
Soon, Miss Headless Horseman's cries subsided, and her whole body emitted a faint gray glow, like smoke, and like a fluctuating water light, with an unrealistic beauty.
Bagh stood in the deepest part of the hazy smoke, countless ash-like debris swirling around her, looking like a sea of fire burning corpses.
Reflected in the smoky gray light was what appeared to be a storage room, filled with all sorts of supplies, and a large number of swords, shields, and spears piled up in bundles. Among them, in the open wooden box in the northwest corner, a blood-colored sarcoma-shaped stone was flashing in the corner.
Whoosh!
The picture burst with the gray halo, and everyone only felt a layer of cold wind blowing on their faces, and the cold air pierced into the bone marrow like a pinprick, and they couldn't contain a shiver all over their bodies.
“......”
After crying, Miss Headless Horsemann looked a little sluggish, drooped down her originally straight waist, picked up the sketchboard that was put aside between them, finished writing it cracklingly, and handed it to everyone:
"The evil spirit was sealed and looked like it had been manipulated, so I couldn't catch it, but I know where the evil spirit was hiding. ”
"Very good......
Beverly pulled down his hair and walked up to her with a limp, ready to pat Miss Headless Horsemann on the shoulder in encouragement, but suddenly pressed against the wall three inches away.
"Then hurry up and take us to find it. He patted the wall and said unconsciously.
"Are you okay now?"
Nicole straightened her long hair, and after seeing this scene, she asked with some suspicion.
"No problem, I'm fine now. ”
Beverly turned to face Clarke, smiled at "Nicole" in front of him, and made a triumphant gesture.
“......”
Clark looked at the red-haired boy, then at Nicole beside him, raising thick eyebrows. said quietly: "Let's rest for a few minutes first, I don't know anything else, but people with a normal brain will never think of me as Nicole." ”
11111111111111111111111111111
Wait for Beverly's slanted gaze to return to its original state. The crowd set out on a journey to find the Seal Stone. Led by Miss Headless Horseman, they spent two hours in the hot sun through meadows and woods, skirting most of Edinburgh to a hill near the eastern suburbs.
This is no stranger to Nicole and Clarke, and it is the place where they led the first team to break through the city's defenses in the past.
"The person who controls the Seal Stone is likely to be the monster's men. We might be able to surround this place with someone first, just in case they escape. The red-haired boy whispered.
"There is no need, there must be an escape route in such a place. If they find out in advance, it will be bad if they escape with the sealing stone. ”
Nicole shook her head and said softly: "The terrain here determines that there will not be many people who can hide here, so let's try to hide as close to the destination as possible." Then he went straight in and snatched the Seal Stone. ”
"That's it. Beverly nodded.
They walked through the woods as quietly as possible. The roar of the midsummer wind provided excellent cover, and the hills were not steep, and the female knight climbed up to keep an eye out for movements around her, searching for sentry that might be hiding in hidden places.
But at the moment, apart from the usual smell of the forest, there seems to be nothing unusual, and the enemy may be hiding in an extremely secret place, so the alertness is very low.
It didn't take long for them to make their way around the mountainside. Arriving at the other end of the mountain beam, the group followed behind Miss Headless Horseman. The eyes kept scanning around, and nothing else was seen except the leaves that were shiny in the sun.
"It's around here. ”
Bagh gestured to the crowd while trying to hide his breath.
The group walked through the woods as fast as they could, and after about half a mile or so, they found a clearing with no trees to cover it. They bent down, under the cover of the bushes and grass, little by little, and stopped to listen to the sounds, but the closer they came to it, the more silent it seemed to be.
Eventually, through the gaps in the trunks of the trees, the clearing was in front of us, and the sunlight shone through the hollows around the canopy, reflecting on the flat ground with a ruined stone platform.
It looks like an altar where the Celts worship ancestral spirits, but it has obviously been abandoned for a long time, and if it weren't for everyone's deliberate search, they really couldn't see anything wrong with this place.
They looked at the clearing from afar through the gap between the trees, and found that there was no grass or trees on the ground, and that the stone platform lay alone in it, and the carvings on it were blurred, as if it had gone through a long time
But everyone can still clearly see that a huge and old circular pattern is carved on the stone platform, and there is nothing unusual on the surface.
"Bag, are you sure the Seal Stone is hidden under the stone platform?" Beverly asked in a low voice.
"The stone platform is actually a kind of rune prop that can exhaust our perceptions, and the things are hidden in the secret room below. Miss Headless Horsemann handed him the sketchboard, and when she was sure that the other party had finished reading it, she put it away and tied it tightly around her belt.
"Let's go now!"
Nicole's figure flickered, and she pounced directly on the stone platform with a heavy phantom, her right fist burning like a torch, and smashed it on the pattern of the stone surface.
Boom!
The stone platform suddenly exploded and shattered, revealing a dark passage large enough for three people to pass through at the same time, and there were also inwardly hidden castles on the left and right sides, which exuded strange life fluctuations.
Some are close to humans, but they are completely different, with no bones in their bodies and are full of thread-shaped parasites.
Without the slightest hesitation, Nicole and Clark jumped back to back into the tunnel, waving their hands into the inside of the stone castle, and at the same time sprayed light flames, scorching the dark whistle hidden inside.
After the two of them landed at the bottom of the passage, Miss Headless Horsemann jumped down as well, and they noticed an open doorway on the right side, with a faint fluorescent glow inside.
The rock-made openings were less than a man's height and quite deep, so that they could be blocked if necessary to defend against external attacks. The door panels are poplar with old wooden bolts, carved with rune symbols, giving them a peculiar gray color.
The door panel, like the stone platform above, also has the effect of shielding mental perception, and the light in the tunnel is dim, looking like an eye that cannot be seen through, cold and hazy.
Without hesitation, they rushed into the tunnel, as if they had touched some kind of mechanism, and the whole tunnel suddenly trembled, and the walls up and down and left and right were surging like silt, stretching out countless pairs of thin arms, wrapping around everyone's bodies.
"Ahhh
Miss Headless Horsemann's screams instantly resounded through the space, and the illusion receded like a tide, and the withered arms scattered to the ground like fallen leaves, falling into shattered mud.
"Ahhh
In another rugged roar, a slender figure emerged from the space, dressed in a black robe, which fluoresced on his short hair, dyed almost white.
It raised its head, revealing a skull without a trace of flesh, and waved the bone staff in its hand at the Headless Horseman, and the negative energy was instantly ready to unleash.
Bag raised the index finger of his right hand and pointed at the necromancer who was holding her back, and a clear and pleasant female voice came from the black mist above her neck:
"Dust to dust to dust. ”
With a flash of light, the necromancer who had tried to stop her vanished, and everyone saw that its time seemed to be accelerated by a thousand times, and it was forcibly weathered into ashes in space.
Smack!
The white bone staff and the black robe that had lost their master landed at the same time, and they jumped crisply, and there was no movement.
“......”
Nicole and Clark, who were about to make a move, glanced at each other, and accelerated at the same time, like two meteorites running horizontally, and suddenly rushed through the turbid air current, crashing into the closed wooden door in the front.
Boom!
The door panel was shattered in an instant under the impact of the two Scourge Knights, and at the same time, several parasites blocking the door were also shattered. The parasites scattered in the space were swept up in the flames of light, and they were burned into charcoal, and fell like raindrops.
Nicole looked around and saw that the scene was exactly the same as the previous storage room, but the space was much larger than she had imagined. There are all kinds of weapons everywhere, from swords and shields to spears and axes, and even hundreds of sets of stainless steel full-body armor, which are obviously preparing materials for the rebellion!
The temperature in the storage room was high and filled with the smell of anti-rust oil, and the walls were embedded with fluorescent stones, which emitted a bright fire. By the bright light, they could see a wooden box in the northwest corner, with a thick layer of cotton cloth inside, and a red stone lying quietly in the cotton cloth.
"It's here, it's in hand! This is the tomb robber's sealing stone. Nicole reached out and picked up the sealing stone from the wooden box, screaming excitedly.
"Nicole...... Check this out. ”
Clarke's somewhat cold voice came from behind, and the female knight immediately turned to look away—a bare-striped boy was lying in another wooden box, about ten years old, tightly bound in chains. His eyes were closed, and his pale face was expressionless, as if he was asleep.
