Five hundred and six phantom butterflies

Naturally, Lisi Ai has no vacation, and he still has to work part-time, learn new sealing techniques in the academy, and have to cultivate the eggs of the sea demonic beast that Ta Xiu gave him, and he can't spare time. Because Xiao Hei is too conspicuous, the unicorn with black and white stripes that looks like a zebra is afraid of being recognized by the people of the Empire of Light, so he has to be wronged that he is still the king of Warcraft in King Alexandria City for the time being.

There was a team of six people in total, and the people designated by the royal family and Taxiu himself were just half to half.

A small team of six people, the outward identity is a young adventurer who travels. The composition of several people is three sealers, two warriors, and one thief (bug), in addition to being a magician, it is also a standard adventure team.

"Alright, remember who we are now adventurers," Matt said as he rode an ordinary black horse and turned back to the crowd. As the vice-captain of this "adventure team", he still has a certain say in the route and other details. The reason for participating in this operation is because of the hints in the family that this operation is very important to Solama XII, and all the people used are newcomers, although there is a certain risk of going to a hostile country, but there is no danger in wanting to succeed in what kind of thing? As long as this operation is successfully completed, it can be regarded as entering the sight of the emperor, and the future is limitless

The second point that attracted Matt to join was because of the existence of Taxiu, whether it was a secret competition, or if he wanted to see Taxiu's real strength, Matt very much hoped to have such an opportunity.

As for the twin sisters of Tracy, they were hand-picked by the Emperor, I don't know if it was because Tracy, Nasha, Blanche, and Nini grew up together, or because Solama had the idea of training the younger generation of newcomers, so the twins were also selected into the team.

"Let's go. Tahiu rode in second place. Follow Matt and the others towards the town. Although he is the honorary captain, he knows in his heart that Matt and Tesie sisters are the ones that the eldest brother really values, and he may just be a supplement. And I don't know much about the geography of Taxiu here, so I'm happy to be led by Matt.

However, I don't know if it's an illusion, Ta Xiu feels that the surrounding environment is a little familiar, and I don't know if he has been here before.

A group of six people on horseback quickly disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

Not long after they left, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the weeds on the side of the road, which looked like a person, but it was covered in black air, like a gloomy fog.

"Taxiu, they have entered Stone Town, we have to report it quickly......" The black shadow let out a low laugh, lowered his head and hurriedly wrote a note and stuffed it into a copper pipe, and then whistled, and a second-order demonic beast Nighthawk flew from mid-air, grabbing the copper pipe and flying away in an instant.

......

At the same time, the Duchy of Carrillo has been in turmoil since the royal family of the Duchy was destroyed by the dragons. All forces want to compete for this feast of power, taking advantage of the vacuum of power in the principality, trying their best to devour the forces that originally belonged to the royal family to strengthen themselves. In addition to the major dukes, barons and other nobles, there are also some generals who originally held military power, and foreign underground forces belonging to the skeleton warband, as well as ...... Major religious communities.

In the main hall of the Murmur Sect, the heads and popes of the underground churches of all parties gathered together to engage in a heated debate.

"Archbishop, I don't think it's time yet, after all, our plan was sabotaged by Taxiu last time, and then the operation to capture Taxiu was unsuccessful......" Managoda, the leader of the Ares of War, said with some concern. Most of the bishops and popes in the room are hesitant to think the same thing.

"Hmph, a bunch of short-sighted fools," the archbishop snorted coldly with a gloomy face......, "Haven't you noticed? This is proof of the imminent resurrection of my God, if we don't take this opportunity to strengthen our sect, how long will it take?" his deep and majestic voice paused and continued: "To know everything we do, our God is watching, and if you want to receive the eternal life given by our God, you must make sacrifice"

As soon as he said this, the originally noisy hall became silent.

The major sects of the Duchy of Carlilei are essentially split from a dark group - the "Eternal Holy See" that worships the undead, and dedicates everything to the god of the dead in the heart of the undead in the hope of receiving the blessing of eternal life.

It is not surprising why anyone would follow such a religion, human beings are a strange and contradictory group of creatures. In the face of the power of the undead, some people choose to resist, while others choose to take refuge. Especially when some people want to obtain the immortal power of the undead, they are bent on becoming a lich or a lich, and then they can not only maintain an immortal body, but also have powerful mana.

It is precisely because of this that an organization in the darkness of the Eternal Holy See has such a strong vitality. In countries with strong imperial power such as the Empire of Light and the Watt Empire, they could not survive, so they scattered into small principalities, concealing their true identities in the name of other sects and attracting believers to strengthen themselves.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the archbishop stood up and let out an impassioned roar: "You should have heard about what happened to the beast clan, the resurrection of the undead my god is imminent, everyone muster up courage, now is the time to test everyone, if you want to get the blessing of my god, show your contributions and achievements." The sects everywhere are going to step up......" He took a deep breath and continued, "Also, the last time you met Taxiu in the Somali ditch of the Death Desert, did you pay attention? There seems to be a powerful undead holy beast beside him...... No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, this holy beast must be obtained by our sect, at all costs" The archbishop clenched his fists suddenly, and his eyes shot a feverish light: "That must be the test and revelation given to us by our god"

"Yes" Managoda stood up and nodded respectfully: "My subordinates will arrange for ...... manpower"

"No, you all have a mission...... I've already arranged for someone to do this. The archbishop gently dusted the left breast of his blood-red robe, as if to dust off the half-black, half-white badge.

"Yes, I've already arranged for Phantom Butterflies...... Not only to recapture the holy beast of the undead, but also to get rid of the tower repair. The archbishop sneered and issued a ruling. His eyes were sharp as knives and filled with a strong sense of confidence.

The Bishops who heard him whispering around them couldn't help but let out a gasp at the same time.

"Phantom Butterfly" is a powerful killing weapon lurking in the shadows of the Eternal Holy See in order to realize the will of our gods, and it is a powerful force born to compete with the Inquisition of the Holy See of Light.

Taxiu, it's dead

All the sect leaders thought in unison.

......

The horses don't go very fast on the mountain roads, and the road conditions are better until they are almost into the town.

The horseshoe trotted all the way into the town on the gravel roads that were not too good, large and small.

True to its name, Stone Town is made of stone for most of the town's buildings. The material used is naturally rock excavated from the nearby mountains.

The horseshoe hits the hard stone pavement with a crisp sound, like a crisp drumbeat. At this time, the sunset has sunk halfway, and the faint light reflects the town half-bright and half-dark, like an oil painting, full of tranquility and tranquility.

In order not to disturb the people in the town, Matt turned over and dismounted, led the rope to Tassi, Cliff, and Nasha, who were not far behind, and said: "I have been here once, because it is close to the border, and the nerves of the villagers are very nervous, so we try not to disturb them. ”

Taxiu nodded, and jumped off the horse. Looking at the quiet town, he frowned, feeling a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange for a while.

Worm muttered in a low voice in the back: "I'm so hungry, why don't I smell any food in the town." ”

By the way, an electric flash flashed in Taxiu's mind: I didn't see the smoke at this time

You must know that Taxiu used to be a cannon fodder battalion in the army for several years, and he was particularly sensitive to these details. Now there is an unintentional reminder from the insects, and I suddenly wake up - the lack of cooking smoke at meal time only means that there is no one in this town

Realizing this, Taxiu immediately stuffed the rope in his hand to Cliff beside him, walked up to Matt's side in a few steps and said, "Wait, there's something strange in the town. ”

Matt is also a smart person, and when he heard this, he immediately came to his senses, squinted his eyes and swept around: "Everyone be careful. Although he remained calm on the surface, there were waves in his heart: the town was indeed strange, but he didn't expect it to be seen by Ta Xiu first. No, the details, pay attention to the details, and never make such a mistake next time......

The original good mood was all ruined by this accident. Everyone's heartstrings are tight, and the journey is smooth, don't get into trouble here and delay things.

With a vigilant mentality, Ta Xiu took the lead in the front, and the mutated spiritual vision opened, and he walked forward step by step.

There is no feeling at all...... There is no life in the town

After Taxiu's spiritual vision was scanned, he found that the entire town was completely empty. Not a single person, not even a living thing.

Cliff, Matt, and Worm, who were following Taxiu, pushed open the doors of the stone houses one after another, and found that all the rooms were empty. The town is not very big, and soon everyone searched for it, and the result was the same as Taxiu's judgment, it was an abandoned town.

The townspeople were nowhere to be found.

"This can't be," Matt muttered in disbelief as he stood in the city square, "If the whole town were gone, it should be noticed quickly...... By the way, it must have disappeared in the near future, that is, in the next day or two. ”

The insect snorted on the side and interjected: "I saw it just now, judging from all the traces and the dust of each house's furnishings, it should have disappeared yesterday." ”

Cliff was leading the horses for everyone, looking at Taxiu with some innocent eyes. He doesn't think much about this kind of brain-wrenching thing, anyway, everyone thinks about the things analyzed, and if there is a battle, he just rushes up as soon as possible.

Ta Xiu lowered his head and thought carefully: It must not be because of the war, although there is frequent friction between the Water Empire and the Bright Empire, it has been peaceful in recent years, and I have not heard of any wars. The disappearance of people in the whole town is not a trivial matter, according to the judgment of the worm, it was only yesterday, so it is likely to be aimed at our group, I don't know what conspiracy there will be, and I don't know which force it is......

Thinking of this, Ta Xiu felt that the people around him were looking at him, he raised his head to look at the sky that was gradually darkening, and said to everyone: "It's already dark, no matter what, we will rest in the town for one night today." Just be careful at night. ”

Everyone thought about it, and that was the only way. Anyway, even if there are enemies, there should be no problem with everyone's strength. What's more, this is still the territory of the Vought Empire, and it is unlikely that there will be a large number of enemies. Even if he can't beat it, with Taxiu's strength and the sealers of Tracy and Nasha, there is no problem in escaping.

"Okay, we don't want to live in those stone houses, they will block the view. Let's camp here in the square, Cliff watched the horses, Matt and the worms followed me to find something to eat and something to make a fire, and we took turns keeping vigil in the evening. Tasiu continued.

The arrangement was very reasonable, Matt thought about it, and there could not be a better way to change himself. It seems that Taxiu is not only a combat force, but also a command arrangement for the team.

Matt didn't know about Tassi's previous experiences, and it wouldn't be surprising if he knew that Tassiu had trained in a cannon fodder camp for a few years before.

The night gradually shrouded in, as if after a day's fatigue, I slowly closed my eyes.

The black canopy swallowed up all light, except for a bonfire in the center of the town square that emitted a faint red glow. The figures of several people in Taxiu loomed in the firelight. Farther away, the boundless darkness is the eternal theme, like big black hands enveloping everything, including the towers.

I don't know how many peeping eyes exist in the darkness.

A snow-white hand gently rested on the stone wall in the darkness, half of its face peeking out from behind the stone wall, and its flickering and mysterious gaze cast on the fire in the square.

The darkness around him provided him with cover, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the darkness faintly revealed snow-white skin, as white as snow.

On the almost transparent skin, a lifelike red butterfly emitted a faint glow of blood.

......

The fire faintly released light and heat, illuminating everyone's faces. Taxiu and Cliff, Matt, and Worm were fine, but Tearie and Nasha sisters were a little uneasy, after all, they still lacked the experience of cultivating alone, and they suddenly came to a small town where strange things happened, and they were a little apprehensive.

"It's okay, let's eat something and sleep for a while. Tassiu seemed to see Tracy's uneasiness, and spoke as he flipped the roasted meat in his hand. The meat is the jerky brought in the ring space, and there are also food and vegetables in many stone houses in the town, but Taxiu and the others decided not to touch them after thinking about it, and it is more comfortable to eat the dry food they brought.

Therese gave Tasiu a blank look and ignored him. The resentment against him has not disappeared, and if it weren't for the emperor's intention this time, she would not have joined the same team with Ta Xiu. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
