After Mrs. Christy thanked Surdak, she chatted with Baron Llewellyn, planning to go to the Oak Forest to retrieve Baron Llewellyn's body after dawn tomorrow, so the reinforcements from Highlandsa City came to the Ice Lake Manor, and together they went to the oak grove to retrieve Baron Llewellyn's body.

Although Surdak and Baron Llewellyn were just ordinary friends, Surdak didn't even have many ordinary friends, so when Carl talked about it, Surdak didn't think much about it, so he agreed.

Seeing off Carl and Mrs. Christie, Surdak took a candlestick to the fireplace, and sat down on a wooden chair next to the fireplace, the candle flame in the room was soft, and as the flames danced, Surdak's shadow on the wall was also shaking slightly, he wanted to flip through the book of self-cultivation of the magic swordsman to see how Ambrose Christie broke through in the first place, but when he reached out to take the book out of his magic waist bag, he accidentally took the dark mage Cyrus. Hickok's magic notes were revealed.

Picking up the magic note, Surdak found that this magic note was shaking constantly, it was like having life and thinking ability, constantly transmitting a feeling of fear to Surdak, Surdak pressed the magic note on the table with both hands, and still couldn't stop the magic note from shaking.

Surdak's heart moved slightly, and then he turned the pages of the magic notebook, which was originally Cyrus. Magician Hirkok recorded his cultivation experience, and the notes also recorded a few runes about black magic, the properties of some magic herbs and magic materials, this notebook Surdak had opened it many times before, but it had never been like this now.

Turning the first page of the magic note, Surdak saw a line of words appear out of thin air on the page of the notebook, and the letters of each word appeared one by one, as if there was a big invisible hand holding a pen, trembling on the page and writing: Be careful, they are coming.

Seeing this line of words appear in front of him in its entirety, Surdak instantly felt that the pores of the sweat behind him were standing up, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

At first, he suspected that someone was playing a prank, but when he looked around and found no clues, the more he tried to find the answer, the cooler his heart became, and when he realized that he was the only one in the room, he rushed over and closed the magic note at once.

This is just a magic notebook made of magic parchment, on which a dark magician records some of his own experiences in learning magic, many things Surdak can't understand, but he didn't expect this magic note to be alive, and give him a warning of danger tonight.

Surdak hurriedly tied the dwarven chain shield beside the bed to his arm, and reinserted the sharpened craftsman's sword into the scabbard at his waist.

At this time, under the blessing of the blessed body, his physical strength had almost recovered, he walked to the window in a few steps, pushed open the window and let the cold wind outside blow in, only to feel that the fog in the night was even greater, the torches at the gate of the manor became very blurred in his vision, and a bad premonition rose from his heart.

Surdak closed the window, turned and walked out of the room.

……

Darcy Christie sat on the soft leather sofa in the hall on the first floor of the villa, with one hand on her forehead, watching the maids in the manor carrying basins in and out of the corridor on one side, her mood was a little inexplicably irritable.

In just one day, not only did so many nobles die in front of her eyes, but also some injured nobles were lying in the manor at the moment. Christie doesn't know how to end up with the aftermath, and tonight looks like the toughest one. At night, all the guards are arranged in all corners of the manor. There are bright and dark places, and there will be lookouts at the four corners of the manor. The bed crossbow was pushed out, and it was already in a state of readiness.

She saw a scratch on the leather armor of her arm, which was left by the sudden appearance of a ghost beside her in the oak forest, if it weren't for the sudden burst of power in this set of thorn-tailed crystal lion skin armor, allowing her to burst out at extreme speed in a short time, I am afraid that this arm would have been cut off by that terrifying scythe.

I didn't expect that the Holden Knight, who has always been steady and wooden, could stand up at a dangerous moment and burst out with such a powerful combat power.

The housekeeper stands at Darcy. Christie's side took a cup of tea from a maid and placed it on the coffee table in front of Darcy.

She glanced at the butler, who bent down and said respectfully to Darcy: "Miss Darcy, you should rest for a while, I will stay here for you, and if there is any situation, I will wake you up as soon as possible!" ”

Darcy sat up straight and took a deep breath, she hesitated, but finally shook her head.

Surdak walked down quickly from the upper floor, and asked Surdak, "Why did you come down, you should have a good rest." ”

A few people in the hall on the first floor and Darcy. The nobles with whom Christie was keeping vigil also set their eyes on Surdak, and their eyes showed admiration.

Apparently it was Surdak's performance in the oak grove that made the nobles look at him differently.

Surdak strode to Daxi. Christie's side said in a deep voice: "There may be a situation outside, I want to go out for a walk." ”

Listening to Surdak say this, Darcy. Christie also realized that she should go around the manor, so she took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Surdak reached out and pressed her shoulder to sit her down on the couch again, and said in an unquestioning tone, "You stay here." ”

Darcy. Christie glared at Surdak, holding back the anger that had risen in her heart, and sat back down on the couch with a straight face.

Under the surprised gaze of the housekeepers and maids around them, they couldn't believe that in this situation, Darcy. Christie didn't even lose her temper.

In the past, even in front of her father, Marquis Bernard Christie, she would be like a fried rabbit, yelling at Marquis Christie, but in front of Surdak, she just glared at him fiercely, and sat back on the sofa angrily, and the eyes of the surrounding maids looked at Surdak with an even more elusive meaning.

Darcy paused and said to Surdak, "Then I'll send someone out with you." ”

"Okay." Surdak replied succinctly.

Christie arranged for a manor guard to stay in the hall to follow Surdak out of the hall, just pushed open the door of the villa and walked out, Surdak only felt as if he had entered a cold and snowy environment, just a few steps away, the cold wave at night made his fingers tingle, the cold wind blew like a knife cut on his face, and some trees and low shrubs in the manor were covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost.

A team of guards dressed in thick leather clothes, walked from behind the manor with torches in the wind and snow, and exchanged orders with the guards around Surdak, and then put down the standard crossbow in their hands, stepped forward and said to Surdak: "The situation in the backyard is normal, but this ghost weather is too cold." ”

"Keep warm and be vigilant." Surdak said to the group of guards, and then to the guards beside him, "Let's go to the front gate and have a look." ”

The guard came out with Surdak to help him coordinate these matters, and then accompanied Surdak to the front door.

Walking a hundred and ten meters away, a nobleman wearing a thick cloak walked on the main road of the manor, he wore a hood on his head to cover his face, but the emblem on the cloak and the excellent weapon on his back showed that he was of extraordinary origin, Surdak thought that he was the chief of the guard who walked back from the front door, the two got closer and closer, but Surdak felt that something was wrong, the person in front of him not only did not say a word, but also his body seemed extremely uncoordinated when he walked.

Surdak secretly pulled the guard who was with him.

The guard was also clever, and hurriedly said, "Password! ”

The person on the other side didn't look like he wanted to answer at all, and when there was a gurgling sound in his throat, Surdak reacted, and when the person on the other side turned into an afterimage and pounced on the two of Surdak, Surdak held up the dwarven chain shield in his hand in time, blocking the spear that the opposite person suddenly stabbed out, and the spear collided with the dwarf chain shield, suddenly making a piercing metal friction sound, and bursting into a series of sparks in the dark night.

A silvery glow appeared on the dwarven chain shield, and the effect of the blessed shield was activated.

Surdak was stabbed back two steps by the man on the other side, and if it weren't for the blessing of his divine body, Surdak felt that he might not be able to catch this thrust.

The moment the man rushed towards Surdak, the hood on his head was lifted by the north wind.

Inside was the face of a middle-aged man, but his eyes were pierced and his face was expressionless. After a closer look, Surdak found that this person didn't need to breathe, and it was clearly a zombie, but his movements were more flexible than those of zombies, and he might be called a living corpse.

Surdak blocked a blow, drew his sword and slashed at the neck of this living corpse, the thick and sharp craftsman's sword actually seemed to be cut on a piece of frozen frozen meat, except for a shallow trace, there was nothing left, this living corpse didn't even have any reaction, he raised his leg and kicked at Surdak, Surdak hurriedly waved his shield to block, but was kicked by the living corpse and flew backwards.

The guard beside Surdak hurriedly pulled out his long sword and stabbed it into the chest of the living corpse, the living corpse grabbed the blade of the long sword with one hand, and raised the spear with the other hand to pierce the guard's throat.

Unexpectedly, the strength of this living corpse is much stronger than that of the evil ghost, there is no warning at the gate of the manor, it seems that the guards over there are likely to have been wiped out, just when Surdak hesitated about himself, just behind this living corpse, a large number of zombies staggered out in the thick fog, which made Surdak feel even more shocked that many of the costumes on these zombies were the leather armor of the nobles who died in the oak forest during the day.

The sound of the fight was heard far away, and the pair of manor guards who had just walked by heard the sound and had already quickly run towards Surdak.

The living corpse trampled the dying guard in front of him, pulled out the sentinel's sword stuck in his chest and threw it into the snow beside him, dragging the spear in his hand and rushing towards Surdak, grunting in his throat again.

Surdak knew that this living corpse had great power, and without hesitation, he unleashed his momentum, a two-faced and four-armed demon god phantom appeared from behind him, Surdak felt the power in his body surge, so he faced the spear stabbed by the living corpse, blocked it with a shield, and released a faint power of holy light on the craftsman's sword, which was wiped between the neck of the living corpse.

Although the neck of the living corpse was as strong as fine iron, the holy light on the sword of the Surdak craftsman was obviously extremely restrained to him, and the blade of the sword slashed through the neck, and immediately cut the neck of the living corpse with a deep wound to the bone, the wound appeared extremely hideous, and the vertebrae of the neck were cut by a sword, but the head did not fall off, and the head of the living corpse was irrepressibly folded back, and blood flowed out.

The living corpse did not fall, but his movements were stumbling, without the slightest sense of coordination, and he quickly retreated into the zombie horde.

In the night mist, more zombies and skeleton soldiers burst in from outside the manor, and the sound of fighting was already faintly heard throughout the manor.

At the same time, magic flares lit up all over the manor, and in the thick fog, the red light from the flares did not travel far.

In front of Surdak, four skeleton soldiers with soul fire flashing in their eyes rushed forward, and these four skeletons blocked Surdak, allowing him to watch the seriously injured living corpse flee back to the zombie horde, and then the skeleton soldiers launched a continuous attack on Surdak, and the four heavy axes fell in succession, almost making Surdak unable to return.

A powerful crossbow flew out from behind Surdak through the night, and these steel arrows could only slow down their movements, and occasionally the extremely accurate crossbow arrows shot through the eye sockets of the skeleton soldiers, extinguishing the soul flames in the eye sockets, and the skeletons would completely scatter into a pile of broken bones.

The crossbow bolt is more effective than nothing for the slow-moving zombie behind it, and even if the zombie walking in front is covered in a hedgehog, it can't stop it from moving forward. Looking at the approaching undead, Surdak could only keep retreating.

Fortunately, there was a reaction in the villa at this time, Darcy. Christie led some of the nobles who had taken up arms and rushed out of the villa.

Leonard's swordsman also mixed in with the crowd, and the young nobles were horrified at the sight of the large number of undead pouring from outside the manor, and the manor guards stood at the front with standard crossbows, constantly shooting waves of crossbow arrows into the skeletons and zombies.

Just as Surdak was retreating, the skeleton soldier who was chasing him with an axe was suddenly pierced through his body by a huge force, and a three-meter-long crossbow arrow pierced through the top of the skeleton's head, instantly blasting the skeleton soldier into a pile of broken bones, and the crossbow arrow pierced deep into the frozen hard soil, and the tail of the giant crossbow continued to tremble and make a loud buzzing sound......
