1247. Visit Atherton
Count Fornak sat on the sofa in his room when he heard Surdak say:
"I met an incident a few days ago, on the side of the abandoned mining area of Ruit City, the guard battalion received a case of missing persons, and the knights of the guard battalion sent to investigate at that time did not investigate anything, and then I asked Aphrodi to go to investigate, and met in the mine, of course, we later found out that this necromancer was not the mastermind of this incident, but this necromancer is a very strong person."
Count Fornak asked with some curiosity, "Oh? I wonder how strong she really is. ”
Surdak said as he compiled the list, "Her body is constantly being corpsed, but she is still alive and strong. ”
Hearing Surdak say this, Count Fornak was a little surprised, because he knew how painful it was to be corpsed, not only would he suffer infinitely physically as his body continued to stiffen and cold, but the despair and distortion that appeared in his mind were the most deadly, and it was easy to get lost.
Count Fornak lamented, "A necromancer who is constantly being corpsed? This is really rare, and then again, there are some forbidden spells involved in humans becoming necromancers in themselves. So......? ”
Surdak looked up and smiled, tossed one into his mouth, and then said, "I want to ...... Maybe you can share some tips with her about this. ”
Fornak put his hands on the sofa, tilted his head and said casually to Surdak: "I'm not as idle as you think, but it's really boring enough to face those skeletons all day, the next time you see her again, you can call me out, let's sit down and talk together, maybe what I know will inspire her, even a little bit is good." ”
Seeing that Count Fornak did not rule out meeting strangers, he said:
"Okay, that's a deal, but I don't know when I'll see her again."
Surdak sorted out the list left by Count Fornak, and Count Fornak also opened the blood-colored gate to the underworld again before dawn......
The two of them saw countless bone hands sticking out of the blood-colored gate at the same time, and Count Fornak turned and waved his hand to Surdak before walking in with ease, his body seeping through it like water, and then vanished.
The bloodstained blood-stained door was reopened, leaving not even a trace on the walls of the inn.
The list was on the table, and Surdak saw the name at the top of the first row on the list, and then he took out a quill and drew a horizontal line under the first name.
'Mike. Atherton'
Surdak remembered that there seemed to be a nobleman surnamed Atherton in the Haylanza guard camp, but he didn't expect that this nobleman had something to do with Count Fornack.
……
Atherton Manor.
Mike. Atherton is old......
Old enough to even be in a wheelchair, every day being pushed out of her room by a maid to bask in the sun under an olive tree in the back garden.
This huge olive tree carries almost all of his childhood memories.
Now that he is old, many things have been forgotten, and only those things from his childhood can still be remembered.
In the sun, on the green grass full of flowers, a boy is running to his heart's content.
His cloudy eyes became a little misty at this moment, and he prayed that he could be summoned by Lady Liberty as soon as possible and fall into the arms of God, instead of having to endure this disease every day, he was somewhat fed up with this life.
The maid regularly gave Mike. Atherton fed him some water, and whispered if he had any intention of retreating into the shade.
Mike. Earl Atherton shook his head weakly, and the two maids could only take a step back helplessly, hiding themselves under the shade of the tree.
A well-dressed old butler walked out of the manor, and he slowly walked over to Mike. The Earl of Atherton, beside him, reported to him close to his ear:
"Sir, there's a guest out there who wants to visit you."
Mike. Atherton looked blankly at the butler, who hadn't seen a guest in at least two years......
The old butler knew the inquiry in his eyes, and hurriedly replied, "He has in his hand the token of Count Fornack's life. ”
It seemed that the three words 'Fornak' made Old Mac sober up, and he actually nodded.
Although speechless, Mike. Atherton was very conscious at this time, he even remembered some of the times when he traveled to the imperial capital with Count Fornack, and they even fought with young nobles from other provinces in the imperial capital, and later provoked some royal families that he couldn't afford to provoke at all, if it wasn't for Earl Fornack meeting a noble man at that time, so that everyone could get the help of that nobleman, maybe everyone would have died there......
He felt a little groggy in his mind, and every time he thought about the past, the sleepiness in his mind was like a surging tide, pouring out in waves.
He wanted to shake his head to clear up, but he couldn't.
The butler withdrew, and in a few moments led Surdak into the back garden.
Surdak felt that the nobles who lived in the city seemed to like to furnish the manor very luxuriously, and the same was true of the Atherton Manor, which was very lively inside, and as he walked through the hall, Surdak even saw a group of young people gathered around an organ, listening to a beautiful girl play there.
The ladies of the manor looked at Surdak curiously, they had not been notified of the guests coming to the house today.
At this moment, seeing the butler walking towards the back garden with a burly constructed knight, everyone was very curious, and some people even secretly followed from behind.
Surdak had been in the back garden, which was much quieter, and there were hardly any people in the back garden, and then he saw a dwilight old man sitting in a wheelchair under an olive tree in the garden, who seemed to have a hard time catching his breath, probably the kind of person who had half his foot in the coffin.
Surdak was seen walking across the lawn and walking up to the old man.
The old man waved weakly at Surdak.
Surdak walked over and sat down on a chair next to him before asking, "You are Mike. Earl Atherton? ”
The old man nodded, his lips trembling, but he couldn't speak.
Surdak didn't expect the old man to be like this, although he was a little helpless, but he could only accept the facts, he checked the old man's condition slightly, basically all the functions of all parts of the body were degraded, so even if he used the Holy Light Technique, it could only temporarily alleviate his condition.
Surdak reached out and pressed a ray of holy light into the old man's forehead.
Mike. Earl Atherton immediately felt the power in his body, and his rusty limbs began to feel and respond, and the butler also stared at Surdak in surprise, and then at Mike, who was trying to raise his arms. Atherton.
"Master, you can move your hand...... the butler shouted with some surprise.
Mike. Atherton also noticed a change in himself, and he felt that his mind had become very clear at this moment.
"Young man, who are you and where do you come from!" Mike. Atherton asked in a hoarse voice.
He hadn't spoken for a long time, so his voice was a little dry when he spoke, and then the maid hurriedly brought a glass of water and gave it to Mike. Atherton said, taking a sip.
Surdak replied, "I am Surdak, Archon of Ruyt, and I have come to visit you this time and bring this to you as well!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a magic dagger inlaid with red, green and blue gems from his magic belt bag, the magic dagger was very old, and even some of the places inlaid with gold ornaments had peeled off, and the three gems seemed to be dim, when Count Fornak handed this dagger to him, Surdak was thinking for a while, how did a ghost carry this dagger with him?
The old man didn't even take it in his hand to make a closer look, so he asked with some excitement, "When did you see Fornack?" ”
"A long time ago, I did Count Fornack a little favor, so he gave me this dagger, and said that if I were in trouble in the city of Highlandsa in the future, I would take it with me to visit Mike at Atherdon. Earl Atherton! Surdak said.
It seems that the light made Mike. The Earl of Atherton had regained his second spring, and he was able to move even his hands by this time.
"What's the trouble you're in? Need help from me? "Mike. Atherton asked Surdak.
Surdak immediately said, "My friend Darcy Christie has some problems in the city of Highlandsa, and she needs the support of some local nobles, so I took the liberty of giving you a morning!" ”
Mike. Atherton's gaze fell on the badge on Surdak's chest, and he asked suspiciously:
"Darcy. Christie? What is her relationship with Marquis Bernard? ”
Surdak replied: "She is the daughter of the Marquis of Bernard and inherits the daughter of Bernard. Christie's knighthood, currently the Archon of the city of Highlandsa! ”
Mike. Atherton frowned again, he didn't know anything about the current situation in Highlandsa, and he didn't understand how the Christie family could end up in this situation......
"Go and call Davy, I need to know about the situation in Highlandsa City." Mike. Atherton commanded the butler.
"Yes, sir!" The butler responded, and immediately sent one of his attendants out.
That's when Mike. Atherton said with some emotion: "I'm old, and I haven't heard much about the outside recently, and I don't know anything about the outside world, so can you tell me what happened in Highlandsa City recently?" ”
In fact, Surdak doesn't know much about the recent situation in Highlandsa City, so he can only casually say something that he knows.
When Mike. When Atherton heard that something was wrong with the replacement of the Christie family, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I need to know the current situation in Highlandsa City before I can reply to you." ”
"Okay, then I'll take my leave......"
Surdak listens to old Mike. Atherton failed to answer in person, so he offered to take his leave.
