The middle-aged nobleman in the form of a soul looked ahead with a somewhat hollow gaze, like a projection from a subdimensional space.

He stood in the dark basement, his body slightly emitted a light blue light, and the coercion emanating from him gave Surdak a very strong feeling, like seeing the injured earth storm bear next to the valley of the Gandaear Mountains in the Warsaw plane, and the middle-aged nobleman in front of him was just a spiritual body with a huge aura, he didn't even have any body, he could only rely on light and shadow to prove his existence.

And his spirit body was in a translucent state, and Surdak could feel the power behind the humanoid light and shadow, and the strong spiritual fluctuations spread like a tide to all directions, radiating far beyond the scope of the basement.

Surdak didn't act rashly, it wasn't that he didn't want to save Captain Miluo from the hands of this middle-aged aristocratic ghost, but he had a strong intuition that this aristocratic ghost in front of him would definitely kill Captain Miluo before he rushed forward.

The middle-aged nobleman didn't speak, he communicated with the guards battalion knights in the basement in a spiritual way.

The voice resounded in the sea of Surdak spirits: "Release my son and leave this manor, and I will let go of your companions." ”

There was an unmistakable tone in his tone, and as his momentum continued to grow in front of him, a light blue soul flame ignited on the translucent body of the humanoid light and shadow.

Karl saw that the middle-aged nobleman in front of him seemed to have some sense, and quietly patted Surdak's hand, suggesting that he should not be impulsive for now.

Karl stepped forward. He shouted to Count Fornack, "Are you Uncle Fornack?" ”

In the empty basement, Carl's voice echoed through the dark room, making the basement seem even more cold. He was a little agitated, and he stood there looking at Count Fornack, who was controlling the dagger and coercing Captain Miluo, with a bitter smile on his face.

I don't know if it's the acquaintance effect, the soul fire in the middle-aged nobleman has subsided a little. He turned his head to look at Karl with empty eyes, took two hesitant steps forward, and a light and shadow appeared behind him, as if opening a door to a long-sealed memory, and some fragments of images appeared in that light and shadow, and Surdak could find out what Carl looked like when he was young, like a documentary in the form of some kind of memory.

Unexpectedly, Count Fornack, in the form of a ghost, actually projected the fragments of memory in the depths of his soul like a movie projectionist.

His gaze swept over Carl in his youth, and then looked at Carl in front of him, and then hesitated for a moment before he asked Carl, "Are you Carl the little Carl of the Casement family?" ”

Carl nodded hurriedly.

Unexpectedly, this ghostly Count Fornak was actually a sober admonishing undead, Surdak knew that only high-level undead had mid-level wisdom, but this kind of high-level undead stayed in the Roland Continent, and it was bound to be suppressed by the power of the laws of the world.

I couldn't see how strong the strength of Count Fornak was, in short, it was much stronger than the little evil spirit cowering in the corner of the laboratory, Surdak realized that there would be a fierce battle in Mashan, and he clenched the torch of holy light in his hand a little nervously, he regretted a little that when he set off, in order to save a demon antelope head, he did not open the sacrificial altar and blessed himself with the 'Divine Blessed Body' and 'Blessed Shield', which made the current situation so passive.

"Do you remember me?" Karl took a few steps closer and said as he looked at Count Fornak in his soul form.

Count Fornack's empty eyes seemed to fluctuate a little, and he looked at Karl and said, "Of course, I still remember how you were when you were a child, when you were so tall, and you let your friend release my son, I won't hurt you." ”

Count Fornack, in ghost form, waved his hand, and the black chains bound to Captain Miluo's body were like living tentacles, quickly withdrawing from his body, and the silver dagger flew out of Captain Miluo's body, a stream of blood rushed out, and Captain Miluo staggered to this side, being held up by a member of the first squad, he hastily untied Miluo's leather cuirass, and bandaged his chest wound with a hemostatic bandage

Karl turned his head to look at the evil spirit cowering in the corner and said, "Uncle Fornack, is this evil spirit the dead little Hal?" What the hell is going on, the other day little Hal stabbed the knight in our guard barracks? ”

Count Fornack, in the form of a soul, had a kind of helplessness and depression in his voice: "In order to prevent Hal from hurting people, I have blocked the entrance to the basement, and those guard battalion knights forcibly broke into the manor, thinking that the basement could find clues to the murder, and insisted on entering the basement despite my warning, and being attacked by Little Hal is also retribution." ”

Karl and Surdak looked at each other and thought to themselves: we just walked into the basement and received no warning at all, and we were not the same as the sneak attack.

"Howl, come here!" The soul form of Count Fornak beckoned to the corner of the laboratory, the skeleton that was no longer wrapped in much lifeless air was brought back to him by a powerful force, the evil spirit seemed to be unconscious, constantly struggling beside Count Fornack, trembling and vigilantly staring around, while showing greed, and posing at several guards battalion knights with teeth and claws.

Karl didn't intend to let go of this little evil spirit, this time he came out on a mission to catch the murderer who killed the Isaac Knight, and also to find the reason for the disappearance of the night watchman at Fornak Manor, but now it seems that there is an answer, there are two ghosts hiding in Fornak Manor, doesn't this explain the problem?

The soul form of Count Fornak tried to retreat into the darkness with the evil spirit, and at this moment, countless black tentacles grew out of the cracks in the walls of the stone chamber again, like countless seaweeds entangled together, binding the bodies of all the knights of the guard battalion in the basement in place, no matter how hard everyone struggled, they could not break free.

It's just that those black tentacles touched Surdak's hand holding the torch of holy light, and the tips of the tentacles quickly dissolved, and the remaining tentacles quickly retracted.

At this time, the soul form of Count Fornak suddenly stopped, he glanced at Surdak lightly, a powerful spiritual force rushed into Surdak's spiritual sea, exuding a strong light in his spiritual world full of stars, Surdak At this time, he didn't even feel Count Fornak's hostility, so he hurriedly raised his hands, indicating that he would not act rashly.

Count Fornak stopped his mental shock, and when he looked at Surdak, he seemed to stop talking.

He turned around and took away the evil spirit that had shrunk into a ball, and the black tentacles around him also retracted into the gap in the stone wall of the basement little by little, and the two knights of the first squad regained their mobility, and immediately wanted to chase after Count Fornak behind him, leaving Count Fornak behind, but their bodies had not yet touched Count Fornack, and their bodies seemed to have been hit by an invisible force, and the two bodies flew out violently, hitting the stone wall behind them solidly, and the two knights were all shocked and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that there seemed to be someone who wanted to continue to rush forward bravely, "Don't act rashly, everyone!" Surdak shouted to the crowd.

When Count Nafnak gradually disappeared into the darkness, Surdak said to Karl: "I'm afraid we are not his opponents, go outside the manor first, see Captain Sauron to report the situation here to him, and reformulate the plan of action, we can't deal with them at all, and then we will also ask the law enforcement team of the Magic Guild to come forward." ”

Karl saw that some of the team members had already suffered minor injuries, and the injuries on the Miluo team leader still needed to be dealt with by Surdak, so he agreed to Surdak's proposal and said, "It's okay!" ”

The group took the injured captain Miluo and quickly left the basement.

As we passed through the empty underground halls and cells, the intense chill was gone.

After everyone helped Captain Miluo out of the main building, bathed in the afternoon sun again, and seemed to have a sense of relief, Carl stood in the courtyard of Fornack Manor, releasing a magic flare, which was the signal that everyone had agreed to gather.

But after waiting for a while, Captain Thor did not come as promised.

Carl and Surdak looked at each other, wondering what was going on outside, but even the other two members of the first team who stayed outside did not react, and Carl hurriedly walked towards the outside of the manor. As he walked, he said, "Let's take a look outside, it looks like something is going on outside!" ”

The other members followed behind Karl, and as soon as Surdak took a step, he felt a black streak. Magic fluctuations, he subconsciously raised the dwarf chain shield, this is an instinctive reaction of the body after practicing tens of thousands of shield swings, a black fire the size of a fingernail hit the shield, bursting into a fire, and Surdak's whole person was blown back a few steps by this burst of flames.

He dodged the sneak attack with his instinct and sense, but the other member of the first team in the team was not so lucky, a small cloud of black fire rushed into his body, the flames exploded on his body, and in an instant a large black fire erupted all over his body, and a few seconds after the member turned into a fire man, the whole person turned into a charred mass under the black fire.

Surdak looked in the direction of the black fire, and saw that under the arched courtyard at the gate of the manor, there were two black magicians in black robes, one of them was a strange middle-aged woman, and the other was Samia, a black magician who had been wanted by the Magic Union, but because she used a stand-in to get the Magic Union to revoke the wanted warrant for her, she thought she would leave Highlanza City, but she didn't expect to meet her here.

Facing the two dark mages, Karl and his party quickly hid behind cover.

"Fuck, member of the Dark Arts Hermitage, what kind of shit luck did Lao Tzu go...... although he cursed in his mouth, he quickly put a standard crossbow in his hand, and quickly loaded five crossbow arrows, this standard crossbow can open five bowstrings at the same time, and can shoot continuously, it is more accurate than an alloy bow, the only drawback is that it is not too convenient to carry.

Seeing Carl bring out the crossbow, Captain Miluo and the other two team members followed suit.

The first crossbow bolt flew past the middle-aged female magician's cheek, not only shooting off a strand of her head, but also cutting a blood groove on her face, and blood instantly flowed down her face.

Carl didn't even have time to cheer, a large burst of flames exploded above his head, a strong wave of qi knocked Carl to the ground, the leather armor behind him was burned by the flames, and the whole person was also a little dizzy by the burst breath, Surdak saw that Carl was injured, rushed forward desperately, holding a shield in one hand, rushed to Carl's side, grabbed him by the collar behind his back with one hand, and desperately dragged him back to the hall of the main building of the manor.

Miluo and the other two members raised their shields beside Surdak as cover, but at this time, they put on a few hoarse dog barks, and saw a sturdy hellhound appear from the edge of the dry fountain, Captain Miluo pounced without hesitation, and ordered the other two members of the team: "You guys take cover, I'll take care of the hellhound, everyone retreats to the hall first!" ”

The two knights of the first squad quickly caught up with Surdak, and Captain Miluo pulled out his knight's long sword and stabbed a sword into the soft abdomen of the Hellhound, his thinking was very clear, as long as the Hellhounds were forced back, he took the opportunity to retreat to the main building hall, but the vicious dog did not dodge at all, and there was no fear in the eyes of the Hellhound, and the whole vicious dog pounced, not even dodging the sword of Captain Miluo, and desperately injured to throw Captain Miluo down under him.

The dark mages Marion and Samia continued to draw the magic pattern, and a series of spells blurted out, and two fireballs exploded at the entrance of the hall in a row, and the two members of the team covering Surdak and Karl were blown away by the fireballs holding knightly light shields, and their bodies slammed into the stone wall of the main building like defeat, and they rolled down the stone wall to the steps, falling into a coma.

However, the moment Captain Miluo pounced on the hell dog, the knight's sword in his hand suddenly pulled out half a foot, and the body rolled on the ground in a small circle, the knight's sword skillfully slashed through the belly of the hell dog, and immediately cut open the chest of the hell dog, and the organs of the evil dog flowed out along the broken wound, making a hoarse scream, Captain Miluo turned over to avoid the last bite of the evil dog before he was dying, and a stab blinded the left eye of the evil dog, and as the evil dog fell to the ground, Captain Miluo rushed to the main building hall.

Surdak had already dragged Carl behind the stone pillar at the entrance of the hall at this time, and when he turned his head to pick up the other members, he found that the two members of the first team fell unconscious on the stone steps, half of their bodies were almost burned by fireballs, seeing Captain Miluo running towards the hall flexibly, before he could run up the stone steps, a fireball flew out from behind, and fell under his feet and exploded violently, his frightened expression instantly froze on his face, and his body flew up with the air waves, It just so happened that there was a statue of a warrior holding a spear on each side of the main building, and Captain Miluo's body was wearing on the tip of the spear from the sculpture, and blood flowed out along the spear body of the statue......
