Kenny closed the last stack of parchments and turned his head to look out the window at the setting sun, stretching out of his tired face and tossing his quill on the table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Aiden stepped forward and hugged the thick piece down, and in the side hall of the main hall, it was still as quiet as death.

Alan's cold corpse lay on the table, no one daring to move for half a minute, and suddenly, Kenny felt his hands on the back of his chair.

"Oh," he said, "Damn, why don't you make a sound when you walk?"

"You're too attentive, my lord. Sersi smiled awkwardly and dragged a chair to sit down. "The sun is about to go down, haven't you found a wizard who covets the bounty?"

"You've seen it all, not even a human figure. Kenny lowered his eyelids, "I asked Aiden to revise the bounty this morning, doubling the bounty, but to prevent a repeat of last night's events, a bounty notice was added, and the fraudster will be whipped to death!"

"Oh. Sersi replied, "This will scare a lot of people! Those skinny fellows will die without a hundred lashes!"

"It's better than wasting our precious time!" Kenny said disdainfully, "I don't see two kinds of people, one is the face of the jumping clown, and the other is the unanimous and groveling courtier." ”

As he spoke, the little eyeless servant walked into the side hall and reported to Kenny in horror that it was dinner time.

Kenny nodded, and told him to bring dinner here.

After a while, the servants put all the sumptuous plates on the table, and a maid lit a sour and fruity incense, and the cloves mixed with the peculiar smell of sour plum burrowed into the nostrils, although it did not smell too good, but it increased the appetite of the diners.

Kenny had just picked up a black olive and threw it into his mouth when Aiden panicked and sprinted into the side hall.

"Lord, lord!" Aiden said breathlessly, "Finally, someone is here!

"Go, bring him in. Kenny munched on an olive and muttered.

Half an hour later, anxious footsteps sounded outside the door, and a young man in a white robe followed Aiden into the side hall.

Kenny put down his glass and turned his head to look at the wizard standing beside him. The guy had a beautiful face, about the same age as himself, and was dressed in a very ordinary white robe, but the difference was that he had a thin leather belt tied around his waist, and he had tied the white robe into a long skirt, which looked a little strange.

The young wizard bowed slightly, unhurriedly unloading the Shiqin behind him, he looked calm, bowed to Kenny's knees, and looked extremely respectful.

"Good day, lord. ”

"Hmm. Kenny just answered, and didn't say anything more. He didn't want to show that he cared much about the corpses on the table, for fear that these gold-worshipping wizards would open their mouths, but anyone with a discerning eye could see his relationship with the knights at the table, because no lord would have a good dinner with a corpse.

"Name, age, where it comes from. Sersi asked in a cold tone as she glanced at the wizard.

"Locke, twenty-four years old, from the small town of Weststein in Nippur. The young wizard replied softly.

"Locke....." Sersi turned his head slightly as he took his glass, and he looked at the young wizard's dress from top to bottom. "You'd better have read the bounty notice, I bet your little body may not be able to withstand ten lashes! Friendly reminder, the snakeskin whip in the guard's hand is not the toy you see in a brothel!"

"Yes, my lord, I think I've read the bounty notice!" Locke said with a slight bow, looking at the wine glass in Sersi's hand with a flat look.

"The victim is on the table, you can check it at will, don't play any tricks. Kenny said with a blank face.

As soon as Locke took a step, Sersi opened his mouth again, "Just a reminder, there was a fake wizard who played tricks last night, and he was given fifty lashes!

Unmoved, Locke moved to the table.

He examines Alan's eyes and then tries to remove the armor from his body, which Selsey tries to stop but Kenny stops.

"Your Excellency. Locke turned around and bowed slightly, "I think this knight was injured by the daytime demon spirit, and there are no external injuries on his body, he should have only been stripped of his soul." He paused, not waiting for Kenny and Sersi to reply, but continued, "If I could, I'd like to go to the scene where this knight was victimized, and if I want to get his soul back, I'll need something that the spirit has used." ”

"Wisp things?" Kenny wondered.

"Yes, my lord. Locke nodded, "The casting of the spirit summoning technique requires something that is next to the demon spirit, or something it has touched, but it will be slightly more difficult than the former....."

"A little more difficult?" Kenny's words were filled with some displeasure, "What's next? Are you going to say that because it's too difficult, you need to add a little bounty to make up for your lost stamina?"

"Of course not!" Locke replied quickly, "Two thousand gold coins is a lot! It's enough for a slum's house for ten lifetimes, or to build a stone bridge across the Unun River!" he paused and raised his head slightly, "Now the city of Nipur is full of rumors about you, and the townspeople say that the god Namu has sent a wise lord to Nipur, because you have abolished the slave order, even if you don't have those two thousand gold coins, I will help you, it is my honor!"

"Really?" Kenny picked up his glass, a little bit of a mustard in his heart, "I've heard that soul summoners can not only bring back the souls of the dead, but also allow the living to talk to the dead, is it true?"

"The rumors are true!" Locke said with a smile, "We can start now if you need to, but it will be a waste of your time, because finding this knight's spirit is a hassle!"

"Good, looks like you're a trustworthy guy!" Kenny admitted, "I want to talk to him right now, I can't wait!"

"My lord, but before then, I need a piece of this knight's belongings. Locke's gaze swept over Alan's corpse, "Lord Lord, I want to remove the pendant from his neck, please allow me!"

"Absolutely. Kenny finished speaking as Locke carefully removed the wolf-patterned pendant from his companion's chest.

Locke held the pendant in his right hand, his elbows flat on his chest, his eyes slightly closed, and he muttered in a barely audible voice.

Sersi stood up from his chair, ivory dagger in hand, and stared at the unknown creature in front of him.

Aiden leaned against the wall, standing between Locke and Kenny, his gaze unrelenting from the stranger's movements.

Half an hour later, something rattled, like the wind blowing the edge of the window, accompanied by the trembling of some kind of object.

"Your lord, please put your hand on it. Locke opened his right hand after speaking.

Kenny's expression was solemn, and he slowly put his hand on the wolf pattern pendant in the hand of the young man in front of him.

The moment he touched the pendant, he felt something streak through the air around him, like a chill or a cry.

Then, the surroundings fell silent, and a familiar voice crept into his ears. (To be continued.) )
