Chapter 34: The Cursed Manor
It's been two days since I arrived at Sakura Castle. Walking up the streets of Sakura Castle www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Court, Makoto Tatsuno found that the atmosphere of this city was not as romantic as the name of the city.
The pedestrians on the street faintly reveal a sense of gloom and compassion. What especially puzzled Tatsuno Makoto was that when it was just dusk, the pedestrians on the street were already in twos and threes, and the doors of the shops were basically closed.
Looking at Tatsuno's puzzled appearance, Bellet explained, "The name of this city is romantic, but in fact, the ruins outside this city are full of undead creatures!"
Undead creatures are creatures that are not blessed by the priests when they die, but choose to continue to wander in the world because they are nostalgic for everything in the world. Of course, this is the creation temple, in fact, the appearance of the dead was recorded before the War of Dawn.
According to the alchemist, this is supposed to be a special situation due to the influence of the energy of the abyss. Therefore, alchemists have always believed that the Abyss invasion began very early, but the previous invasion was not as serious as it was during the War of Dawn.
As for Sakura Castle, it's just that the undead creatures are more concentrated, and in other city ruins, undead creatures can also be seen.
"Undead creatures!!, so interesting!" said the illusionist suddenly, excited.
As an illusionist who has been studying necromantic spells, I am very interested in this kind of thing!
"Interesting!Illusionist, your hobby is so special! That kind of thing is disgusting!" Zero Qi looked like she was about to vomit.
"Yes, I think it's still very interesting!" Hearing Ling Qi's words, the illusionist looked exaggerated, and continued with resentment: "I was disgusted by a beautiful woman!"
"Actually, the study of undead creatures is very helpful in the development of necromantic spells! Phantomists are quite good at this!" Makoto Tatsuno explained.
"You study this too, master!"
Hearing Tatsuno Makoto's words, Ling Qi instantly distanced himself from Tatsuno Makoto.
"No! I feel disgusting, so I gave up all research on necromantic spells!" Tatsuno said indifferently.
"Hey, Makoto, are you explaining to me, or are you teasing me!" said the illusionist, with a resentful expression.
Seeing the illusionist's appearance, Ling Qi leaned back and smiled backwards. But Bellet heard something else!
The development of spells! All of the spells used by the magicians in the Federation today are left over from the War of Dawn.
Magicians, on the other hand, use spells to first try to communicate with elemental spirits, then use spells to gather elements, and then achieve the spell effect. In the current Federation, only very powerful magicians can try to reduce the chanting of spells, but they have not been able to develop spells.
But from the words of Makoto Tatsuno, a word that has disappeared for a long time in the Federation appeared, "Spell Development". Although I knew that their spells were very strong, I didn't expect them to be developed by myself!
The more you come into contact with each other, the more mysteries and surprises you have about these three people!
"What does this undead creature have to do with this city!" Owl noticed that the topic was a little off, and decided to drag the topic back.
"What did you all look at in Brother Belette's library!" asked Ling Qi, looking at the three of them.
"Uh... We're mainly working on arcane weapons and abilities!" Makoto Tatsuno replied a little awkwardly.
Ling Qi instantly thought of something, and said with a smile: "You guys really hold a grudge! The last battle hurt you a lot!"
Regarding Ling Qi's statement, the three of Tatsuno Makoto chose to acquiesce!
"Actually, the residents of Sakura City can't do this, the undead creatures prefer to be active at night!, so at the beginning of the construction of Sakura City, they were often harassed by undead creatures. So the residents at that time chose not to go out at night, and this habit continues to this day!" Bellet explained to the trio.
"Interesting city! This is a good place for me!" said the illusionist with a smile.
Xiao likes the culturally rich Aurora City, and the illusionist has also found his favorite Falling Sakura City! So where is my city? Maybe I'm too selfish to keep pulling them to repeat my fate with me!
Tatsuno Makoto followed everyone to the hotel a little lonely, although he was still talking and laughing, but even the most hearted Ling Qi felt that Tatsuno Makoto was wrong.
The five of them, who had rested all night, set off for the ruins outside the city as soon as dawn. Regarding what was wrong with Makoto Tatsuno yesterday, everyone chose to ignore it.
Along the way, there weren't many bounty hunters encountered, and everyone might be afraid of undead creatures. Death is the end of all living things, and it is the nature of all intelligent beings to fear death.
At dusk, the bounty hunters they met on the road began to prepare for the camp, and the five of Tatsuno Makoto continued to move forward under the surprised eyes of the others!
"Aren't we camping?" Bellet followed for a while, and when she noticed that it was getting darker, she finally couldn't resist her offer.
"Why are you camping? According to the map, isn't there a big abandoned manor in front of you!
"That abandoned manor!!Are you crazy!" Zero Qi exclaimed at the sound of the owl.
Seeing Tatsuno Makoto and the others looking at him, Ling Qi continued: "That place is known as a cursed manor, and the former head of the family went crazy and killed all the people in the manor! After that, all the people who entered this manor died mysteriously! Don't you know!"
"Yes, or I wouldn't be there!" said the illusionist with a smile.
"Why!" Ling Qi said in a broken voice.
"Because we're traveling! Traveling is adventure! Of course, wherever the danger goes!" the illusionist smiled even more happily as he looked at the frightened Lingqi.
Is exploration where to go in danger!Zero Qi was speechless by this explanation!
Berlet smiled happily, he liked these three friends too much! No matter what level of bounty hunter he hired, he couldn't deliberately lead his employer to a dangerous place. In this way, like the legendary strange novels, the life of various adventures and adventures is wonderful.
In the anticipation of Belette and the fear of Zero Qi, everyone finally arrived at the cursed manor when the sky was dark.
At the entrance of the manor, two rusted gates creaked in the breeze. Combined with the screaming sound of the undead creatures that had already begun to move, Ling Qi was already thinking about returning to the city before entering the door.
"What a nice atmosphere!Bellet, the adventure you've been looking forward to is now officially begining!" Owl looked at the somewhat panicked Bellet, his fists flickering with frost. Around the manor, at some point, there was a faint black shadow.
"Hit first, then go in, or go straight in!"
As soon as Makoto Tatsuno finished speaking, he saw Ling Qi looking at him with a panicked expression. Then he immediately changed his words and said: "Enter the manor!
Under the disdainful eyes of the owl and the illusionist, everyone walked slowly into the manor, and the ensuing scene made Ling Qi regret it even more!
"You're all crazy!
