When Al followed Dylan to the only inn in Linshan Town.

He saw the mayor of Linshan Town and the oldest hunter in Linshan Town, the old hunter known as the old gun by Al.

Once when Al was new to the hunter's business, he was helped by the old gun more than once.

So the relationship between Al and the old gun is very good, and it can be regarded as a friend of the year.

Dylan walked inside the inn and went to Lancer to report on the recruits.

Al came to the side of the old gun and whispered, "Uncle old gun, why are you also being found?"

The old gun has a well-proportioned body, a little thin, and dark skin, but a pair of eyes that are very bright.

Hearing Al's words, the old gun took the pipe off his mouth, and then glanced at the mayor not far away.

Seeing the old gun's eyes, Al immediately understood the meaning.

All along, Old Gun and Al have been particularly reluctant to see this shady mayor.

Al is able to ignore the mayor by virtue of his status as the son of the baron.

As the oldest hunter in Linshan Town, Lao Gun knows the location of many prey, medicinal herbs, and game.

Therefore, in this Linshan Town, the status of the old gun is extremely high, and it is not something that the mayor can easily move.

But now that the Church of the Lord of Radiance has arrived, the mayor of the town has recommended two hunters who are qualified.

This gives Mayor Mare a golden opportunity to deal with the two hunter thorns, El and Old Gun.

Thinking of this, Al nodded slightly at the old gun, although angry in his heart, he was still extremely calm on the surface.

What Al didn't know, though, was when Mayor Mare took Dylan to find a qualified hunter before that.

A money bag containing ten gold coins flowed out of Grant Manor, not far from Linshan Town, and into the mayor's pocket.

This made another hunter who was scheduled to be very close to the old gun.

Become a young hunter in the mountain town of El.

The old gun smoked faster and faster, and it was obvious that he didn't have any idea about this time.

Although the mutation of Snakeback Mountain only showed itself in the early hours of this morning.

But as a hunter in Linshan Town, he naturally knew the changes on the mountain at the first time.

Otherwise, no industrious hunter would have stayed in town at this time.

At this time, Dylan walked out of the inn with Lancer.

Under Dylan's guidance, Lancer immediately came to Al and Old Gun's side.

Looking at the old gun who was smoking and the Al who was younger than himself, Lancer smiled gently.

"My name is Lancer, and I am the senior pastor of the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiance.

This time, we're going to trouble the two of you to show us the way, and we don't know anything about this snakeback mountain. ”

Lancer, who had a gentle smile, relaxed the nervous mood of Al and Old Gun a little.

Now that they have been chosen to lead the way, El and Old Gun will do their best to help Lancer and the others.

After all, only when Lancer and the others are safe and sound can they ensure the safety of Al and the old gun themselves.

Taking a step forward, the old gun said to Lancer, "Venerable Lord Lancer, we will definitely do our best to help you.

So please keep us safe, Master Lancer, after all, we're just two normal people.

Although it can deal with some beasts, it is nothing more than that, not as strong as a professional. ”

Lancer looked at the old gun, and he knew very well that the old hunter had roughly guessed the purpose of himself and the others.

However, since the old hunter deliberately did not make it clear, he was also happy to play dumb riddles with the other party.

Smiling and nodding, Lancer spoke, "Since we found you, then we should naturally protect your safety.

So rest assured, as long as we can come back alive, then you will definitely come back alive. ”

For Old Gun and Al, Lancer's promise was already very heavy.

So neither Lao Gun nor Al was dissatisfied, and they all nodded their heads in gratitude.

In this way, Al and Old Gun stayed in this inn, waiting for the next morning to set off into Snakeback Mountain.

Although Al and Old Gun lived in the same room together, the two of them were silent all night with a heavy heart.

Especially when Al learned about Old Gun's speculation from Old Gun, he fell silent.

Wizard heresy!

This is the common name given to wizards by the Church of the Lord of Radiance.

In the face of wizards, the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiance is unconditionally hostile, and the result of the encounter between the two can only be life and death.

As for the lives of innocent people, other people's property, etc., in this matter, they will no longer be respected.

Although there is a certain curiosity in the heart of the wizard who controls all kinds of magical powers.

But Al doesn't have a crush on wizards out of curiosity.

Because anyone who has a certain degree of affection and goodwill towards wizards is all put on the gallows of the Church of the Lord of Radiance!

It was nearly the middle of the night that Al finally fell asleep.

So when there was a knock on the door, Al's spirits were a little sluggish.

Quickly dressed, Al and the old gun opened the door and followed Lancer and the others downstairs.

I had a simple breakfast and brought the dry food that the inn had prepared for a long time.

A group of seven people entered the still gloomy and damp Snakeback Mountain Forest under the slowly rising morning sun!

As soon as they entered the forest, the two hunters, El and Old Gun, shuttled freely as if they had entered their own garden.

Although Lancer and the others are all professionals, they are also a little clumsy in the forest.

In particular, Lancer and Elaine, who are priests, basically rely on the help of their companions to be able to tell the march.

Today's Snakeback Mountain Forest is even more gloomy than yesterday's.

The animals that used to live in the forest seemed to sense something and went into hiding.

It makes the originally vibrant forest become more and more silent, and it makes people feel more and more terrifying.

After walking for about an hour, Lancer finally ordered the seven men to rest in place.

During this hour, no other animals were encountered, but they were attacked by snakes many times.

Although it didn't have the four-eyed one-horned python that Al had encountered, it was still very dangerous.

Luckily, both Old Gun and El were good hunters, and they shot the incoming snakes several times.

As a result, Lancer and the others became more and more kind towards Al and Old Gun.

Even the young knight Flor, who has a bold personality, has begun to call El brothers.

Sitting in the clearing cleared by the three knights and El and the old gun.

Lancer said to Ai Lian, who was sitting beside him, "Ai Lian, has the direction of the snake demon not changed?"

Closing her eyes, Ai Lian sensed the breath of the snake demon, then opened her eyes and nodded.

"There is no change, the aura of the snake demon still stays near the target location, but there is one thing I care about.

I didn't notice that it was too far away, but as I entered the forest, I felt a little more and more strange.

The place where the snake demon was located, there seemed to be something there, which made me feel very palpitated, as if there was a great danger.

So I guess that the place where the snake demon hides is not a place to look for, but a very special place. ”

"What's special?" Frowning, Lancer thought for a moment and said to Old Gun, "Old Gun, do you have a special place here?"

Hearing Lancer's words, the old gun was slightly stunned, and then he seemed to think of something, and his face changed greatly.

Looking at Lancer nervously, the old gun's expression was never more solemn.

And at this time, Al, who saw the old gun's expression, also frowned slightly, as if he thought of something, and his complexion also changed.

"Lord Lancer...... I'd like to ask, where are we going...... What the hell is this place?"

Lancer and Elaine glanced at each other, and then Lancer nodded slightly, signaling that Elaine could go back to the old gun.

In this way, Ailian, who got Lancer's signal, spoke directly: "Southwest, more than thirty miles away from here. ”

After receiving Ailian's answer, the old gun smoked three pipes in a row, and said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, it is that place."

Sure enough, it's the Snake Forest Mansion, if it's really there, we must be cautious.

Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be able to escape. ”

Seeing that the old gun's expression didn't seem to be fake, Lancer asked in a low voice, "What's going on with that place called the Snake Forest Mansion?"

Taking another puff of his cigarette, the old gun forcibly calmed himself down, and then said with a wry smile: "The Snake Forest Mansion has existed for a long time.

It is said that it was built in the mountains more than 100 years ago as a place for nobles to spend their holidays and rest.

Because the scenery of Snake Back Mountain is really good, but when the Snake Forest Mansion was built and put into use for the first time.

But he was suddenly attacked by a group of bandits, and the nobles and their subordinates were all killed by the bandits.

But that's not what was really terrifying, and after that, the Snake Forest Mansion would hear the sound of music from time to time at midnight.

There are also hunters who see it at midnight, and there are many figures dancing and playing in the Snake Forest Mansion.

But since the incident of the bandits, no nobles have dared to come to the Snake Forest Mansion to hold a ball.

Especially when the next day dawned, the Snake Forest Mansion, which was originally bright at night, became dilapidated again.

Rumors of the haunting of the Snake Forest Mansion spread to all the nearby towns.

So let's really be careful this time, you must know that anyone who doesn't believe that the Snake Forest Mansion is haunted.

As long as he dared to step into the Snake Forest Mansion, no one had ever come out of it alive. ”

The old gun's words silenced everyone present.

Although there were only a few words, everyone felt the strangeness of the Snake Forest Mansion.

After a long time, Lancer suddenly spoke: "Don't worry, old gun, we don't need you to go in.

As long as you can take us to the snake forest mansion, we'll take care of the rest.

As the clergy of the Lord of Billions of Radiances on earth, some spirits and ghosts have not been able to shake our faith. ”

As he spoke, a glimmer of white light emanated from the silver cross that Lancer wore around his neck.

As a result, El and the others, who were bathed in these brilliances, instantly reduced the unknown horror of the Snake Forest Mansion in their hearts.
