Tonight's moon is surprisingly bright, a rare full moon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, it is a pity that the moonlight in the sky does not shine down, and it is blocked by patches of black clouds.

The night was gray and somewhat dim.

There was not a single pedestrian on the rough greystone streets of the town of Law, but five or six ghouls, looking slack, wandering aimlessly.

The cold wind of the night blew, rolling up a small pile of dead grass, rolling and slowly drifting past a ghoul.

The ghoul heard the rustling sound, like a wolf that had been hungry for ten days and a half months, and as soon as his body moved, he threw himself into the haystack and threw a dog to eat.

The pile of dead grass fluttering in the wind was viciously stuffed into the mouth of the ghoul and devoured dates.

It was at this time, in the darkness, that a sharp sword was silently stabbed.

The ghouls were unaware of the danger that came through the darkness.

It had just spit out the fine pieces of dead grass it had chewed in its mouth, and the next moment, its head had been separated.

Died too quickly.

The ghoul's head, or even just a few soft crashes when it landed, was completely silent after attracting the attention of a few wandering ghouls not far away.

The cold wind of the night continued to blow, whistling the curtains on both sides of the greystone streets, the haystacks, and the large ruins and rubbish that were scattered on the ground, making a slight whistling sound.

A few ghouls wandering not far away had already left the cross-shaped street entrance.

In the dark shadows where he couldn't see his fingers, a knight with a knight's sword also walked out.

His face was grim, as if it had been cold for thousands of years, and even when he saw the stench of blood and broken corpses on the ground, his grim expression did not change in the slightest.

"Well, have you found anything here?" a voice came from the other side of the street.

An aristocratic young man wearing a rounded hat, a tight black aristocratic robe, and long leather boots appeared.

The knight put away his sword and spoke, "I've searched this area, and there isn't a single living person except the ghouls. ”

"Me too. The aristocratic young man said indifferently.

While the two were talking, an old man in a mage's robe also walked out from a corner: "Young Master William, the area I was in charge of patrolling just now, no survivors were found, but ghouls found a nest. Shall we exterminate them?"

"We're not here to slaughter ghouls. When the aristocratic young man William heard this, he shook his head and said.

With that, he walked directly to the center of the town of Law, and the knight Kane and the mage Rhein hurriedly followed behind him.

At the end of the line of sight of the three of them, that is, more than a hundred meters away in a straight line, there stood a black castle.

This is where the noble lords of the town of Rolls live, and it is also the place where there is a high probability of survivors in this town.

In the castle, all the windows were closed, and no light came.

The two large iron gates of the black castle had been completely twisted and deformed, one hung crookedly, and the other fell directly to the ground.

After striding through the gates of the black castle, a fountain stained with blood caught in the eye, and several mutilated corpses with incomplete limbs were soaking in the pool, their flesh swollen and pale.

William glanced at his surroundings, then walked around the fountain, stepping on the dark blood stains that had dried up on the ground for a long time, and walked directly to the main hall.

The tall wooden doors of the main hall, like the windows above the castle, were closed.

William pushed it gently, but he didn't push it open, as if behind the wooden door, it was against some heavy object.

Seeing this scene, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of William's mouth.

At his signal, Master Rhine walked up, stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door, shouting, "Listen to the people in the castle, open the door quickly!"

Three seconds passed.

Ten seconds passed.

A minute passed.

There was no movement from inside, a deathly silence.

Seeing this scene, Master Rhine smiled, took out his wand, and shouted loudly: "If you don't open the door again, my fireball technique will crash over!"

Master Rhine's threat was much more useful than his previous shouts. As soon as he finished speaking, a rough voice came out from inside the wooden door: "Are you a magician?

"I'm a magician, and there's always three of us. Master Rhine said truthfully.

After a while, there was the sound of heavy objects moving from inside the wooden door, and a small crack opened in the closed wooden door, and a pair of eyes appeared in the crack of the door, and they kept looking at William and the three of them for a few seconds, and then the door was completely opened.

It was a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full beard, and two soldiers wearing long iron spears in their hands.

William walked in directly, and if no one was around, the burly man standing in the center immediately frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "You three, have you ever been scratched and bitten by a ghoul?"

William didn't reply, and Kane, the knight behind him, also had a cold face, looking like no one should enter. Mage Rhine smiled: "We have hunted hundreds of ghouls along the way, what do you say?"

After hearing this, the burly man came back to his senses, and there was a more respectful look on his face: "Are you here to save us out?"

"Whether you can save it or not, it depends on what our young master means. Master Rhine smiled again and snorted angrily in William's direction.

The burly man was slightly stunned, then nodded, stopped talking, and quickly pushed some wooden cabinets, stools, and tables together, and pressed the closed wooden door against it.

At this time, William came to a large wooden box, frowned and asked, "What is in this box, and why does it smell of rotten flesh?"

"There's a corpse in there. He used to be the lord of our town, but he was scratched by ghouls. We were afraid that he would mutate, so we killed him. ”

The burly man said without looking back.

William nodded slowly: "You should be the captain of the guard in this town, right?

"That's right, I'm the captain of the guards. The burly man replied, "We have five women and a child of five or six years old here, all upstairs. ”

William understood. He walked straight upstairs, followed by Kane and Master Rhein.

Seeing that the three of them were about to go upstairs, at this time, the burly man who had already carried heavy objects to hold the wooden door against it hurriedly followed with two soldiers, and there was a trace of panic that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.

Seeing this scene, William's face smiled even more: "You called all those women and children to the reception room, I have something to ask them." ”

The burly man listened, squeaked, and after going up the stairs, he led the two soldiers to the other side of the aisle. (To be continued.) )
