866. Return to Wilkes

The sky lit up with a touch of fish belly white.

The little skeleton sat on a boulder, watching his body being put into a large magic sealing box by Surdak and the others, the corpse had rotted to the point of decay, and it emitted a foul smell.

The sunlight stinged his bones so hard that he jumped off the boulder and ducked into the shadows.

Count Fornak then turned his head to the little skeleton Joel. Singh said, "Let's go back!" ”

The little skeleton gently stroked the demon sealing box with its scorched bone hand, and the soul fire kept jumping and flickering.

"That's no longer you, you can see him as your former body, your current life is presented as another form of existence, in this form, your body can be reshaped infinitely, as long as the fire of your soul is not extinguished, you can have eternal life."

Count Fornak placed his hand lightly on the little skeleton's shoulder and said softly to him.

The little skeleton looked up at the tall Count Fornack, he lowered his head to look at the ground under his feet, followed the footsteps of Count Fornack, and walked to the blood-colored thorn gate on the rock, after the gate was opened, countless ghost hands rushed out, but the first rays of the morning sun emitted black smoke, and those bony hands retracted into the blood-colored gate.

A black mist appeared around Count Fornack, shielding him from the rays of sunlight, and he took the little skeleton Joel. Singh slowly walked through the blood-colored gate.

subsequently

The door to the realm of the dead is closed again......

……

The Sealed Chest is actually a small forbidden enchantment, and the original reason for the mage to create it was to avoid the loss of magic power of magical items, only to discover that putting some fresh fruits and fresh meat in the Sealed Chest can also be stored for a long time.

Fresh food stored in the Sealed Chest will not rot, and even rotten food will remain in its original state.

But the premise is that these stored items must be dead.

Living creatures cannot exist in such a forbidden space.

Surdak took Joel. The sealed box of the corpse of the magician Sinji made all the way back to the town of Dodan.

It took almost a day to ride horses from Invercargill Forest to Dodan Town, and Surdak led his army from Invercargill Forest in the morning, and by dusk the bunting could already be seen flying on the northern wall.

In the distance, two familiar figures appeared on the city walls, dressed in delicate light leather armor, none other than Hathaway and Beatrice.

They looked at Surdak's cavalry battalion and stood on top of the high arrow tower.

Surdak rode through the doorway under the northern wall, and Hathaway and Beatrice ran down the stairs from the wall.

Surdak jumped off the Gubolai horse, took off his helmet and hung it in the saddle, and stepped straight forward.

Holding the thin waists of the two girls with both hands, he didn't dare to hug them hard, and there were sharp needles at the joints of the full-covered black iron armor.

Seeing Hathaway and Beatrice actually waiting in the town of Dodan, Surdak asked with some surprise:

"Why are you here?"

Hathaway wore a suit of light leather armor and high heels of her riding boots, which could not help but make her look even more slender, and almost allowed her to look directly with Surdak, and she blinked her green and magnificent eyes like jewels, and smiled sweetly, and said to Surdak:

"When my father received a letter from Uncle Chester, he immediately told us to come over, and said that if the Archons of the White Forest Plane did not cooperate with us to save the situation, the Luther's Legion would withdraw from the White Forest Plane, so we are here and waiting to return to Bena City with you."

Surdak didn't expect Marquis Luthor to be so decisive, but the Luthor Legion had just resisted a beast tide in the White Forest Plane, and now there were still some results that had not had time to digest, so such a hasty withdrawal would inevitably make the other generals of the Luthor Legion dissatisfied.

"That's what Marquis Luthor said?" Surdak asked.

Hathaway nodded, she had been working in the office of the Foreign Affairs Bureau for a while, probably because she had not been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, and her skin was dazzlingly white.

With a tall figure and a very beautiful swan neck, even nodding makes people feel indescribably elegant.

"Of course, my father said that the Luther Legion withdrew from the White Forest Plane, and it could also participate in the counterinsurgency of the Gampu Plane, or it could also go to the Maca Plane to expand its territory. No matter where you go, it's better than being stationed in the White Forest Plane. Hathaway said with a smile.

There was an aristocratic pride in her smile, and although Surdak didn't like it, it was supposed to be a kind of honor that the family had brought her.

"Maybe I have a chance to get the territory of Invercargill Forest this time." Surdak grabbed Hathaway and Beatrice and said to the two.

"Really?" Hathaway asked suspiciously.

Surdakra led them out of the way, allowing the cavalry behind them to return to the garrison camp through the passage of the northern wall.

Then he explained: "Well, this time I found enough evidence to push Christopher Wizard to the gallows, and he did not hesitate to kill his student Joel for the sake of the territory of Invercargill Forest. Wizard Singy, know Joel. Singh is also a magical nobleman. ”

"How do you know?" Beatrice covered her soft lips and asked Surdak in surprise.

"It's probably going to be a long story, and it just so happens that we have plenty of time on the road." As he spoke, he beckoned to the magic caravan behind him, a black. The magic caravan stopped beside the trio, and Surdak quickly opened the door and invited the two women in.

The two maids, out of nowhere, followed Hathaway and Beatrice into the carriage, which Surdak followed.

Sitting on the sofa opposite the two women, Surdak said:

"I'm sorry that you still can't entertain you well when you come to Dodan Town for the second time, and I'm going to expose this before the Luther Legion withdraws from the White Forest Plane."

Hathaway and Beatrice looked at each other with a smile, and at the same time lowered their heads slightly and whispered, "It's okay, as long as I can be with you, it's the same everywhere, Surdak." ”

……

Surdak felt that July should not be considered his lucky month, because the first half of the month was completely wasted on the road.

The wheels of the magic caravan ran over the pale green and white-edged grass, leaving a deep rut.

The grass outside the window is covered with white wild leek flowers, making the grass look like a sea of white flowers.

Under the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, groups of horses galloped on the vast meadow like dark clouds.

It's a pity that most of the horses raised here are not very valuable Gubolai horses, as for those excellent stallions of green scale horses and black scale horses, they are all in the hands of the great lords of the western provinces of the empire, although the grassland of the white forest plane is vast, there are no high-quality war horses.

Along the way, they encountered several adventuring parties, all of which were driven away from the northern sector because of the presence of magicians in the team.

They expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the Luthor Legion, and under the force of the cavalry battalion, they finally did not blatantly curse.

This time almost all of the time was spent on the road, except when the horses needed to rest, when the carriage would stop, otherwise they were on the road.

There was not even a stay in a town inn along the way, but fortunately, this magic caravan suitable for long journeys has all kinds of facilities, although the space is a little cramped, but this bathroom with a standing shower can still meet the needs of Hathaway and Beatrice to take a shower every day.

It's like a five-day trip.

The three of them sat in the carriage almost all day, and occasionally went outside to ride horses and go out for a while.

Hugs and kisses, these Surdaks have already tried.

However, aristocratic families strictly forbade the practice of stealing the forbidden fruit before marriage, which made Surdak feel that this kind of life was both a pleasure and a kind of torture.

When they arrived in Wilkes, Beatrice and Hathaway even wished it was a little longer.

Surdak pushed back the window and exhaled a breath of fresh air from Wilkes.

The magic caravan passed through the Wilkes gate, and Surdak did not immediately go to the hotel to settle down, but asked the coachman to go to the military headquarters.

Hathaway and Beatrice saw a spacious hotel on the way, and they shouted out of the carriage as they prepared to stay at the hotel.

The five-day trip had left them all moldy, and they couldn't wait to get out of the carriage.

When the two got out of the car, Surdak helped the two take their luggage down.

"See you in the evening, Surdak."

Hathaway put her hands around Surdak's neck and offered a kiss.

"See you in the evening, Miss Hathaway, Miss Beatrice......"

Surdak said as he handed the luggage to the waiter pushing the luggage cart from the hotel.

The two maids helped put the suitcases on the luggage cart before following Hathaway into the hotel.

Surdak then hurried to the military headquarters.

……

The Great Swordsman of Chester was sitting in his office, sorting out some documents here, when he saw Surdak push the door and walk in, and said in surprise:

"Why did you withdraw so quickly, didn't you tell you to evacuate the station before the end of the month?"

Surdak strode in, sat down in the chair opposite Chester's desk, poured himself a cup of tea, drank three cups in one sitting, and said:

"Chester Great Swordsman, I came from Dodan Town this time, but I didn't lead the army."

The Chester Archswordsman stared at Surdak.

Surdak spread his hands and explained:

"In the past few days, I have found a murder related to Christopher Wizard, who killed his student Joel in Invercargill Forest. Singh Magician. ”

The Great Swordsman of Chester took a cool breath, and there was some disbelief in his eyes.

Surdak continued:

"He was doing this when we were in Invercargill Forest."

"I didn't think about it at the time, but the last time I was in Wilkes City, I happened to hear about Joel on the street. Wizard Hingi's family was looking around for news of him, and it was only then that they learned that Joel. Wizard Singi is Wizard Christopher's assistant, and the two disappeared shortly after leaving Wilkes together, and it was only when they passed through Kiran on their way back to Dodan that they realized that something was wrong. ”

"Christopher the Wizard to Joel. Singhi's family says that he and Joel. After Wizard Singh left Wilkes City, the two separated, and according to my investigation, the two did not actually separate, but went to Invercargill Forest together......"

Surdak recounted what had happened.

The Great Swordsman of Chester asked more carefully:

"What evidence did you find?"

Surdak lowered his voice and said:

"I found Joel. The corpse of the Wizard of Sinji ......"

The Great Swordsman of Chester sat at his desk and pondered for a while before he said:

"Oh, I'll report this to the Consulate of Floryon, and then I'll stab the Magic Guild Enforcement Corps about it, and I'll see if the Magical Guild Enforcement Corps is as ...... as rumored."
