Chapter 58: Shepherd of Light

Zombie traces were found on the corpses among the weeds, which surprised Luo Lan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although he had not been in contact with zombies in the low-level undead plane before him, he had also heard the three major types of undead introduced by the Dark Dragon Wang Shuo, namely skeletons, zombies, and ghosts. The Dark Dragon King Shuo was a Sanctuary Corpse Dragon before his death, and he was famous, so he knew the zombies of the undead very well.

The zombies in this world are completely different from the oriental zombies in Luo Lan's memory, to be precise, they are more like zombies, most of the undead zombies are not hard, and they walk like ordinary humans. The awakening of the undead zombie requires the corpse to be contaminated with the undead breath or come into contact with the dark power under the earth to be reborn, otherwise even if a corpse has passed a hundred years and thousands of years, it will not become an undead.

Therefore, in the general natural environment of the human world, it is very rare to awaken undead people such as zombies, but I didn't expect it to appear in the Twilight Forest now.

"Could it be that there are necromancers wandering around here, but they generally like tombs and other places with a strong smell of death, how can they run into the natural forest, or is there another reason?" Luo Lan thought as he observed the corpse.

"Water monsters in the lake, undead haunts, ruins ......"

He stood up in thought, walked towards the little girl, and said the traces of zombies on the corpse: "...... So the properties of the zombie body leave those green liquids on the animals. Lucia, since you can activate the magic array, if you subdue a low-level zombie undead, can you also control it?"

Based on the imprints, the Dark Dragon King Shuo deduced that the zombie was likely to have just woken up not long ago, and its strength was not strong. If you can find it and let the little girl use her spirit to control it, then there is no doubt that her actions in the forest are a little more secure, and she can also hunt wild beasts with confidence.

When Lucia heard this, her little head shook like a rattle: "Mr. Suzumu, I don't know how to manipulate the undead with necromancy." And if someone else sees me, they have to put me on the stake, the kingdom of Ayalan doesn't let people manipulate zombies. ”

It turns out that there are already clear regulations in the kingdom of Ayalan, prohibiting magicians from using spells such as manipulating corpses, and undead zombies must also be eliminated.

Not only because of the desecration of the deceased, zombies or dead people are likely to carry various plague viruses on their bodies, and if they are accidentally spread into human cities, they will cause great trouble, and there are often records of disasters caused by necromancers in history. So now zombie summoning has been listed as a forbidden spell, and necromancers who use spells such as corpses have also been branded as evil.

"And those zombies are so ugly, people don't want them, or Mr. Suzumo, you are cute and kind. Lucia pouted and said, "Just have you." ”

"Cute ......" Luo Lan touched her smooth forehead helplessly with her hand at the little girl's adjective.

"It is said that zombies especially like to kill life and eat flesh, Mr. Suzumaki, since there are traces of zombies here, please be sure to get rid of them. Otherwise, when it comes to the town, it will definitely kill the people. Lucia said.

"Aren't you afraid of danger?" Luo Lan asked, in fact, he also wanted to track down and see the situation of the undead kind.

"It's okay, try to fix it if you can find it. Lucia was determined.

Paying attention, the two of them left the bushes, searching for the brocade bird eggs while tracking the zombie trail.

However, it was so difficult to find the wandering undead in a huge forest, and there was no trace until the moonrise in the night sky, but the brocade bird eggs collected a full packet, enough for the needs of the chef at Lijia's restaurant.

"At night, there is often more activity of forest beasts than during the day, and it is too dangerous to move around at night with a campfire. Luo Lan carried the bag.

There were few human tracks in the Twilight Forest, and the area was vast, so his black robe was not worn on his body, which would interfere too much with his movements. Now he wears an upper body leather armor bought at the city market, which provides a little bone defense.

Lucia nodded without objection, and the two of them then found a relatively empty meadow. Luo Lan chopped some firewood with a knife, put it in a pile, and then lit it with flint and steel, and the burning flames immediately lit up the surroundings.

Tonight, clouds obscured the silver moon, and another purple moon in the sky cast a cool glow, dyeing the sky a deep blue-purple.

There were still quite a few nuts left in the squirrel's nest during the day, and Lucia was very happy to eat them in the dry food she had brought. She sat next to Luo Lan, pestering her to tell a story as if she was at home. Luo Lan knew that this was probably the first time that the little girl had spent the night in the forest, so she casually chose a story about the memories of her past life without much excuse, which was about the classic legend of the White Snake.

Most of the epics circulating in the kingdom of Ayalan are fantasy and serious epics, how can there be such a delicate and moving love story as the White Lady, Lucia immediately listened to it fascinated, and praised the relationship between the two protagonists, and was angry at the behavior of the monk Fahai.

The firewood on the grass crackled as it burned, and the firelight shone brightly on the little girl's silver hair and delicate little face, and a skeleton with a flickering white flame sat next to it, forming a fantastical picture with the purple moon in the sky.

Lucia, who had been running for a day quickly, couldn't resist the feeling of fatigue and leaned on Luo Lan's side and fell asleep, while he took the opportunity to absorb the brilliance of the purple moon and take on the task of keeping vigil at the same time.

The forest in the dark night was deep and terrifying, and occasionally one or two unknown beast roars could be heard. In the early hours of the morning, Luo Lan, who was cultivating, suddenly raised his head and looked around, he suddenly had a feeling of being spied on just now, but it disappeared in a flash, it seemed to be an illusion.

The night passed unconsciously, and there was no effect of the night attack of the beasts, perhaps because the fire frightened away many creatures. In the morning, the little girl woke up from her sleep, cleaned up briefly, and the two of them went deeper into the forest to pick the red calyx.

At the same time, dozens of miles away in the city.

A carriage draped with curtains and lavishly decorated, apparently reserved only for nobles, was parked in front of the fence in the backyard of the Holy See of Light in the city.

The waiter opened the curtain to reveal an old man in a white robe, with a kind face and a smile on his face, which easily gave people a sense of intimacy. He looked around and saw that no outsiders had stepped out of the carriage.

Several white-robed women, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed and ushered him into the courtyard. The courtyard is paved with brown marble, various famous statues are displayed, there are fountains on both sides, the plants in the garden are neatly trimmed, and a large number of precious flowers and plants are dotted in it, which looks very beautiful and elegant.

A middle-aged man next to him nodded and gathered around the old man's side, reporting the information that had been sorted out one by one: "Probably the situation is like this, everything is business as usual during your absence, and we have added more than a hundred new believers." Also, Lord Mara says that there is something else to tell you. ”

"Oh, take me to her. The white-robed old man said.

Soon the group entered the pavilion in the garden, and a middle-aged woman in white bowed and saluted, seeing that her figure turned out to be the woman Luo Lan met in the clothing store that day: "Praise the light, Lord Shepherd, you haven't been back for a while." ”

"Well, I went to the Holy See in the province to meet with other pastors and got some news. The white-robed old man said, "What news do you have to say?"

"Lord Shepherd, I found a skeleton undead in the city. Mara, a middle-aged woman, told what she had seen in the clothing store that day and what she had followed Luo Lan to the alley later.

"The undead skeleton summoned by a little girl?" said the white-robed old man with a moving expression, "Have you found out the identity of that little girl?" After a while, an adult will come from the Battle Retreat, and I heard that the origin is not simple. And he hates undead creatures very much, and there must be no such evil and filthy undead in our city. ”

"I found out, the little girl's name is Lucia, she is working as a junior apprentice in the city's seminary, and there is a grandfather who moved in from out of town a year ago, and is said to have a friendship with the knight chief Gray, but he has not been in the city recently. Mara whispered, "I have arranged for the guards guarding the city to keep an eye on her movements, and will report back as soon as she returns." ”

"Okay, I'll go there myself. The white-robed old man said secretly: "After staying in this small city for so many years, as long as there is one more merit, you can rely on the relationship of the royal capital to transfer to the royal capital of Ayalan, and when the time comes, you can plan again, and you may even obtain the citizenship of the higher empire......"
