Chapter 5: The Void Ghost
Not far south of Woodlin, there is a small village called Wood Village in the north of Goth's territory, and the villagers of Wood are very simple, because of their proximity to Woodlin, most of the people here make a living from logging and hunting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The sun had just gone down and the young woodcutter had returned to the village, having just brought back the firewood he had cut down for a few days to the city of Goth, and exchanged it for silver coins. He was about to share the joy with his family, but the woodcutter did not know that his small leather bag made of cowhide for silver coins had been opened at some point, and the silver coins inside had already fallen into another small cloth bag.
Lan Lan is a very talented person, this is not that others are irresponsible for her evaluation, but it is true, she has developed motor nerves, she inherited her father's stealing skills very completely at a very young age, and at the same time quickly inherited his father's status in the Phantom Troupe, having said that, when Lan Lan became the leader of the Phantom Troupe, there were only five people in this team, including their father and daughter. She herself is very disgusted with such petty theft, first, in terms of her skills, it is somewhat overkill, and second, such a thing that harms others and benefits herself really makes her very disgusted, but many times she is really forced to be helpless. It's like a woodcutter who relies on his skills to make a living from logging. Thieves also rely on their skills, and in order to survive, they can only choose to steal.
"I'm going to get retribution, right?" he thought as he ran into the woodlin, the intricate forest was like a courtyard for Lan Lan, and three small cabins appeared in front of Lan Lan. Walking into the wooden house, a man who was slightly younger than himself saw her and walked towards her: "Sister Lan, you are back!?
"How long have you been here?"
"It's been a while!"
Lan Lan took the money bag that had just arrived, and walked into the innermost and warmest room, on the small bed, there was a middle-aged man, this person was Lan Lan's father, Lily of the Valley, Oudeya. Lan Lan walked in, and the doctor had just finished treatment.
"Mr. Yongyi, how is my father doing?"
The doctor shook his head: "He should have been poisoned when he was young, and it was not cleaned up completely at that time, and the poison was left in his body, slowly destroying his body, and now I can't help it." ā
"Please, sir, save my father. As he spoke, he handed the money bag to the doctor: "Here is a little bit of our heart." ā
The doctor hesitated slightly, then put the money bag in his pocket: "I can't promise you either, I can only try." ā
"Thank you then, Mr. Yongyi!"
"I'm going to go back to see the case of your father's situation, it's not too early today, I'm leaving!"
Seeing the doctor leave, Lan Lan sat beside the bed and looked at her weak father: "Dad, it's all my fault, I can't take you to the big hospital in Gother. You can only ask such a black-hearted doctor. ā
The frail middle-aged man opened his mouth and said slowly: "Where can I blame you, I can only blame myself for doing too many sins when I was young, and now there should still be a wanted notice for me in Gother City, right? I think it's better to disband this phantom diagram earlier, you are all still young, but don't be old like me, you don't even have a place to see a doctor." ā
Leaving Lily of the Valley's wooden house, Lan Lan walked in the woods, only feeling very heavy in his heart, he had revered his father since he was a child, and wanted to be a free thief like him at a very young age, but as she grew older, she also understood that the thief was not as tall as she imagined, but far dirtier than she imagined. But after all, this is her dream, Lan Lan is a romantic person, such people have a common problem, that is, they attach too much importance to their dreams, and it is too easy to fall into them, but the so-called dreams, often when you think they have come true, they have just begun, and they are only completed if you dedicate your life to them. In fact, she has thought about disbanding this gang of thieves in name only, but she is always reluctant.
"The Phantom Troupe, which was so dominant in Gotherjes, has fallen like this!" remembered the voice of a mature man in the darkness. Lan Lan, who also survived and was in the dark, immediately locked onto the target of the sound, and a man in black appeared in Lan Lan's field of vision. He wore a mask and couldn't see his face at all.
Immediately raised his alert: "Who are you?"
The man in black did not answer Lan Lan, and directly took out a long sword and rushed towards Lan Lan, Lan Lan reacted quickly, stepped back, dodged a sword, held two daggers in his hands, and walked with strange steps on his legs, ghostly, close to the man in black, and stabbed at him, the man in black looked at the blade with cold light, raised his hand and prepared to resist, at this time, Lan Lan's feet retreated, flashed, came to the back of the man in black, raised the sword again, a blood mark crossed, the man in black frowned, and immediately wanted to distance himself from Lan Lan, but Lan Lan was like a ghost, entangled, three rounds of fighting, the man in black had already appeared on several wounds, and immediately put down his weapon: "I admit defeat, and I deserve to be the leader of the Phantom Regiment who once dominated the world. ā
"Who the hell are you!?"
The face of the man in black could not be seen under the mask: "Don't be so nervous, little leader, I'm here to help you!"
"Don't play tricks!" Lan Lan didn't let her guard down at all.
"I heard that the last Phantom Leader had poison in his body, maybe I can help you detoxify him!!"
"What did you say?" As soon as he heard that he could detoxify his father, Lan Lan's breath immediately became a little chaotic: "You can really detoxify my father?"
"In the period when the Phantom Regiment was at its strongest, the leader of the Phantom Troupe, Lily of the Valley, came and went without a trace by virtue of his ghostly body, and the city lord of Gotherd City at that time deliberately found a colorless and odorless poison called the Void Ghost in order to deal with him, and as long as people smell it, they will be powerless. It was also because of this poison that the Gothhet City Lord was able to successfully defeat the Phantom Troupe, and I think that Lily of the Valley at that time should not have known the solution to this virtual ghost, on the surface it thought that the effect of the medicine had passed, but in fact, the virtual ghost was still in Lily of the Valley's body, so many years, the virtual ghost should have completely eroded Lily of the Valley's body, right?
Lan Lan was stunned, although she did not come to the scene when the Phantom Regiment was defeated, she had heard a little, and her father was indeed poisoned at that time, and she was weak, so she did not evacuate in time. And what he just said is exactly the same as the illness described by Dr. Yongyi: "How do you know so much?"
"You don't have to worry about that. The man in black continued, "I just want to prove that I can detoxify your father!"
As he spoke, the man in black took out a delicate medicine bottle from his pocket: "You only need to do one thing for me, and I will help you heal your father!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"One life for another, I am very satisfied with your skills, since I saved your father's life, then you have to help me get a life back. ā
ā...... You're going to let me kill for you!?"
"It's just a life for a life!"
"No, if my father had known, he wouldn't have been happy. ā
"You have to think about who is more important than your father's life or the life of someone you don't even know!!"
"Even so, my father told me since I was a child that there is a way to steal!
Lan Lan's answer exceeded the expectations of the man in black, the man in black hesitated slightly, thought for a moment, and sighed: "Just let me do good deeds!" said and threw the medicine bottle in his hand to Lan Lan: "Give it to him as soon as possible, I think it will be effective soon!"
took the medicine bottle and looked at the man in black gratefully: "Thank you benefactor, I really don't know how I can thank you!"
"Hehe, I've already said that this is my good deeds, I'll be around here recently, if there's anything you need my help with, just look for me!!" After saying that, the man in black disappeared into the darkness again.
Lan Lan didn't think much about it, and immediately rushed back to the wooden house with the medicine bottle in her hand.
Let Lily of the Valley take the pills in the medicine bottle, and suddenly Lily of the Valley's complexion is much better. I felt that my already soft muscles were slowly tensing up again, and the strength returned little by little, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in my heart, and Lily of the Valley suddenly got up, a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, and all parts of her body were gnawing like ants.
Seeing the appearance of Lily of the Valley, Lan Lan couldn't help but be stunned, this doesn't look like a detoxification no matter how you look at it.
Could it be...... Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, although Lan Lan's personality was not cautious, she also doubted the authenticity of this medicine, but thinking that the man in black had already taken out the medicine bottle when he opened the conditions at the beginning, and thinking that his father could finally recover, he cared about it. Now I suddenly understood that there was something wrong with this medicine, so I gritted my teeth and rushed out of the wooden house angrily, and ran to the place where the black person left in one breath, but I didn't expect the man in black to be waiting there safely.
"Why are you hurting my father!!"
"Little sister, don't frame me, the medicine I gave you is really a cure for ghosts. The man in black said, and took out another medicine in his hand: "I just forgot to say that the two bottles should be used together." If you eat a bottle, then it's poison!"
"Please also ask the benefactor to save my father. ā
"Now that the void ghost in your father's body has attacked, if you continue like this, you won't live for ten days!!If you want this bottle of medicine, it's not difficult, it's still my condition before, please help me kill someone!!"
"You!!"
"Or, just watch your father's veins burst open and die!"
"......" Lan Lan gritted her teeth: "Who do you want me to kill?"
"So you said yes?"
ā......ā
"He should come from Snoal to Gothergh in three or four days, and he will definitely pass through Woodlin on the way, and there should be about three or five people in the party, and your target will be the one in the middle of them who is on a dark horse, and who looks the most sedate and does not like words. This is his portrait!" said the man in black, handing a portrait to Lan Lan.
"Who is this man?"
"You don't have to know who he is, you just need to know that because he is still alive, many people will die because of him, and if he continues to live, many people will die, including your father!!"
ā...... Is he some kind of villain?"
"This, you don't need to know, and this is a deal between us, if you leak it out, then I don't mind letting the Phantom Group disappear completely!!" The man in black said as he took out a pill from the bottle and threw it to Lan Lan: "This is my deposit, it can make Lily of the Valley feel better!"
Lan Lan returned to the wooden house heavily, and Lily of the Valley couldn't bear the pain in her body and passed out.
The three members of the Phantom Regiment gathered around Lily of the Valley's bedside, and when they saw Lan Lan come back, they came to her.
"Sister Lanlan, where have you been? The old head looked so terrifying just now. ā
"Why don't we take him to see the doctor overnight!"
Lan Lan looked at her father's pale cheeks: "No need! pack up, get ready to prepare, we have a big list to do!"
