Chapter 17: The Rise of the Undead (3)
Ao Xingfeng watched it with relish from beginning to end, especially after Marin lit the holy water on Claire, the shining light curtain and the holy song coming out of the void made Ao Xingfeng feel really sacred, and it was really exaggerated that such a simple baptism ceremony could have such a big movement.

After the baptism, Doren approached with female Templar equipment.
"Clerk, this is your temporary equipment, and when you go to the headquarters for further training, you will be given special equipment. With that, Duolun put the equipment into Claire's hands.
"It's the first time I've seen a baptism in the Holy See, and it's such an exaggeration?" Sri whispered in Yabcino's ear.
"It's still a simple baptism, and it's even more exaggerated if it's in the Holy Land!" replied Jabucino in a whisper.
"It's good that I was given equipment as soon as I joined, and I kind of want to join the Knights Templar. Bello smacked his tongue and said.
"Well, why don't you go tell them now?" said Yabucino.
"Just him? Forget it, can he stand so many rules?" said Sri scoffingly.
"Well, with my character, I guess it's enough. Bello surprisingly didn't fight with Sri but sighed.
Claire grabbed her gear and ran to the tent to change her clothes, and in a short time a fresh and beautiful beauty was freshly baked, the Templar female trainee costume was very eye-catching, a small blue and white striped shirt, brown bloomers, and a pair of knee-length flat-heeled knight boots, and Claire's long brown hair was tied into a single ponytail.
Claire used to wear ordinary leather armor, and her hair was draped casually over her shoulders, so she simply changed her outfit and hairstyle, and her appearance and temperament really added a lot of points, anyway, compared to the women Ao Xingfeng had seen on the earth before, she was a very rare super high-quality beauty.
"Wow, I'm not mistaken, Clea is a big beauty!" said Sri, dumbfounded.
"Please, we've been friends for a few years, don't you? Don't you even know what Claire looks like?" said Yabuchino helplessly.
"Alright, everyone prepare their luggage, it's time to hit the road!" After Ao Xingfeng gave the order, the camp began to get busy.
It didn't take long for all the things to be loaded into the carriage, and Ao Xingfeng led the team to set off in the northwest direction, officially leaving the area of the troubled wasteland. Out of the troubled wasteland, it was soon into a wooded area east of Hesk.
It is already late autumn, the leaves have withered yellow, and the fallen leaves all over the ground have seriously covered the uneven ground, and the speed of Ao Xingfeng and others immediately dropped after entering the woods, and they were jolting forward in the path of the woods.
The cold wind that blew from time to time rolled up a few dead leaves, and the smell of the land after the rain was permeated around, except for the sound of the convoy horses walking, the forest was surprisingly quiet, and the scene in front of him Ao Xingfeng felt as if he had seen it somewhere.
After the team walked along the trail for about two hours, Ao Xingfeng and the others were surprised to find that the woods in front of them were completely withered, like dead wood in the cold winter, and there was not a single fallen leaf on the ground but blackened land, and the woods where Ao Xingfeng and the others were located were completely two worlds.
A foul smell was blown from the withered woods, it was a rotten smell that was disgusting. Ao Xingfeng stopped in place, and Ma Lin leaned over and asked, "Captain Ao Knight, why don't we take a detour?" There was an ominous aura in front of us. ”
"How far are we from Heske City now?" asked Ao Xingfeng, pulling the reins to stabilize the somewhat panicked horse.
"We're not even halfway there. Marin replied.
"The outside world is very dangerous now, there are undead everywhere, if we make a detour and we have to delay another day, we must merge with the reinforcements as soon as possible!" Ao Xingfeng said categorically.
"That's... What do you mean?" Marin asked tentatively, and then got the answer he feared most.
"Passing through, time is life, don't choose to avoid it because of danger. Ao Xingfeng replied.
Ao Xingfeng took the lead in entering this world full of dead silence, and the dark and obscure air came over, blowing Ao Xingfeng's hair into chaos, and a layer of substance like water vapor wrapped around Ao Xingfeng's body, making Ao Xingfeng's movements a little sluggish.
"What is this?" Ao Xingfeng looked at the white mist on his body suspiciously.
At this time, Marin and the others also walked in, and similarly, a layer of white mist was attached to them, just like in the water.
"This is supposed to be some kind of spell, and it seems to be very wide-ranging, it should be a small warning to the outside intruder, there must be some ulterior secret in it. Yabuchino pinched his chin and speculated.
"But it doesn't make sense, this place used to be just a very ordinary wood, and at most the civilians of Hesk came here to cut wood, so why did the caster put a warning here?" said Yabuchino, caught in his own world, muttering to himself.
"Hey, Deputy Commander. Sri bumped Yabuchino on the shoulder, only to realize that the Templars were listening to his analysis.
"I'm sorry, I'm used to it. Yabuchino said embarrassedly, scratching his head.
"Your speculation is good, although I don't know why the caster would spend so much effort to arrange such a wide range of spells. But we all had to break through and try to get to the city of Hesk before dark. Ao Xingfeng said to the Templars.
"Yes!" replied the Templars, with their right fist in the chest.
"Don't worry too much, we have to speed up!" Ao Xingfeng patted the worried Marin on the shoulder, and then with a wave of the horsewhip, he rushed out in an instant.
............
In the depths of this decaying wood, bubbling green pulp, in the midst of which floated a dark earth, and on the black earth stood a tower crawling with black substance.
In the Tower of Corruption, a blind-eyed young man weaves through a narrow hallway.
"Knock! knock!" the young man stopped at the door of one of the rooms and knocked softly.
"Come in. The sound of a tattered bellows coming from inside the house.
"Squeak~" The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and directly opposite the young man was an old man who was lying on the table, and there were only all kinds of alchemy tools on the table, and the old man was conducting some kind of evil and ulterior experiment.
"You'd better have a reasonable reason, or that's where you're going to be. The old man turned impatiently and pointed to a shelf full of human organs, and even a glass jar containing a human head.
"Master Mage, there are intruders. The young man was not afraid of the old man's threat to him, and said without the slightest wave.
"You're going to bother me with such a trivial matter?!I told you that if there are intruders, you're going to deal with them! I'm right, huh?" The old man was like a schizophrenic, and his mood fluctuated greatly.
As he spoke, the old man's right hand lifted the black mist in a spiral shape and began to condense at the old man's fingertips.
Just as the old man was about to put him to death, the young man added calmly, "The intruders are a group of Templars. ”
The evil spell dissipated into the air in a blink of an eye, and the old man frowned and said to himself: "No, shouldn't it? Now so many flamboyant black magicians, why do they come to me such a low-key and harmless poor person? Do they have a problem with their brains? Oh yes, yes, they do have a problem with their brains, and they are the craziest people in this world." The old man sometimes whispered, sometimes went crazy, and the faint light from the alchemy elixir shone on the old man's face, which looked extremely penetrating.
"Where are they? the Templars!" the old man's eyes flashed with the light of a mentally ill man, and the young man shook his head, wondering how such a crazy old man could become a great magician.
"They're running in the direction of the city of Haske, and in ten minutes they should find the tower. The young man said expressionlessly.
