Chapter 52: Resoluteness

The cold wind on the cloudy day made the pedestrians on the street tighten their necks, and everyone was not energetic due to the cold wind, except for the five people who returned to Kuhan, a little girl with a white ponytail jumped up and down and looked particularly lively.

But the cold wind blew the leaves on the branches a little decadent, and when a few crows rested on them, the slightly yellowed leaves also fell. Lynn was jumping up and down in such a landscape.

Deyun has been confined in the hotel for a few days, and more than a dozen reports and requests sent to his superiors have been sent out in a row. She had forgotten to ask the crowd where Ellis had gone, and she immediately sat back at her desk every time she saw the Knights' reply.

She knew very well in her heart that the Ayulun incident was not so simple. As a knight, he has received instructions forbidding to approach Ayulun, and if he returns to Rochester to report or inquire in person, he is likely to offend the mastermind behind this incident and be placed under house arrest, or in serious cases, directly erased. Therefore, Deyun only dared to write a letter to report at Kuhan's hotel.

In order to cheer up the mercenaries, Adan arranged for Marley to organize all the mercenaries to train at the entrance of Kuhan Village, but the special task force was not among them. The mercenaries had no complaints, they all knew that the Einsatzgruppen was not only strong, but had paid a hundred times more than others in previous battles.

Lynn's big eyes blinked as she watched the mercenaries train, all their movements in unison, and every command was sonorous and powerful. It's been a long time since Lynn has seen this kind of training, and the last time she saw it was in her kingdom's palace......

The sadness made Lynn's nose sour, but there were no tears in the corners of her eyes. The jumping body suddenly stopped, which made everyone also observe Lynn's emotions, her eyes were firm, her upper teeth clenched her lower lip, and she secretly decided something in her heart.

Lista didn't use words to comfort her, just rubbed it with her palm on Lynn's head. It's okay not to be comforted, but after being gently soothed by Lista's palm, his eyes trembled at this time.

"Brother, you're very annoying, you can't grow tall!" Lynn, who was about to cry, covered her emotions with her anger, pushed Lista's hand away and fled, and Lista, who saw through everything, smiled, maybe it would be better for her to vent like this.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone planned to arrange Lin to share the dormitory with Fiona, and when Fiona led Lin back to the mercenary group to make the bed, Lille found Lista: "Little brother, come, a letter from a non-commissioned officer friend to you." ”

"Oh? Ellis? ”

Lista opened the letterhead and read it.

"Lord Lista, thank you for your encouragement! After I reported to the rector of the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, the rector made an application to the Order. After listening to the report, the Knights gave me Ayurun a special search mission, and as long as I completed this search mission alone without anyone's help, I would be able to successfully promote to knighthood. This was the first mission the Order gave me, and I set off. Thank you again Lord Lista for your help to me! - Ellis"

It was a good thing, but a sense of foreboding rose in Lista's heart. He looked at the words "do it alone" on the letterhead, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

At this time, a somewhat drunken Lille said: "Little brother, where did you say you picked up the broken staff before?" Tell me the right place. ”

"It's in the middle gate of Ayulong."

Lille searched for Ayulun's map from Lista and looked at it, pointed his finger to the location of Ayulun's middle gate in the map, and muttered, "Middle gate? Go in from here...... Kathak? Is there a shortcut to the middle gate to the Katak cemetery? Qatar... Atrium..."

Lille thought of something, and suddenly raised his head, his face completely drunk: "Just now you read that Ellis went to Ayurun alone, then, little brother, you should quickly bring someone to find him now, don't ask for a reason, that non-commissioned officer friend...... May be life-threatening. ”

It dawned on Lista that the Ayurun incident was inseparable from the Kingdom Knights, but why would such a major task be entrusted to a midshipman.

Too late to report to the regimental commander, Lista immediately summoned the Lodge squad in Kuhan. As soon as they heard that Ellis's life was in danger, the people immediately arranged for a carriage to rush to Ayulun.

On the way, everyone began to get anxious after seeing the stunned Lin. Ayurun's tragic situation is known to everyone, Lista, Fiona, Karui, and Hawke have entered a hundred battles, among which the three who participated in the Battle of the Northern Ruins have seen the blood of werewolves, and Hawke is even more fearless. But no matter how you look at this little cutie in front of you, you can't stand the bloody picture of Ayulun.

Although everyone didn't care much about Linn's combat strength, after all, the four members of Rocky's team had excellent combat effectiveness when they were 16 years old, but their psychological quality and state were also key factors in the battle. The youngest of Rocky's team are Lista and Fiona, but they both have a four-year gap with Lynn, and there are too many experiences in the four years, and Lista and Fiona can't guarantee that they will not be scared to see such a tragic situation when they are 16 years old.

It's useless to worry, since you've brought Lin out, you have to take her to the end.

Along the way, Lista and the others explain the situation of Ayurun, from the goblin commander to the inexplicable vampire. Everyone frowned when Lista spoke of vampires, and from Lista's words, they knew that these vampires had come and gone without a trace, and were not only proficient in swordsmanship but also in magic.

The carriage stopped at the entrance to the village of Ayurun, where the atmosphere was getting stranger by the day, and the atmosphere was even more terrifying and eerie than the last time Lista had been here.

The groom was so frightened by the atmosphere that he clenched his fists, he hoped that the men would get off quickly, he didn't want to stay in this place at all. After everyone got out of the carriage, the coachman immediately drove away from the place.

"Coward!" The words came out of Lynn's mouth, and she grimaced in the direction of the carriage's departure, and there was really no fear in her.

The group followed the map to the Ayulun Atrium. The battle leaves a trail that vividly remembers the images of Lista, Kaye and Vera fighting side by side.

When everyone looked at the charred crowd at the entrance of the atrium, the sense of sadness swept over everyone, but more important things were still ahead.

I saw that the charred corpse was moved a way, leaving a fresh footprint on the ashes.

"That's what Ellis left behind." The five nodded and continued to catch up.

Obviously, it is also a place that can be illuminated by light, but the inside of the middle door is even darker. In the silence, from time to time, the hoarse cries of crows, and when they all said that crows were hell, it really made everyone feel depressed at this time.

Swish!

A figure flashed behind everyone, but there was nothing missing when they turned their heads. Walking at the back of the line, Hawke only felt a chill in his back, and Hawke, who had never known what it was to be afraid, also felt furious in his heart at this time.

The silence here was terrifying, and the five of them put their steps to the lightest, but they could clearly hear each other's heartbeats.

Yikes!

The crow's terrible and old chirp frightened everyone, and after discovering that it was only a crow, they put down their hanging hearts and continued to move forward. At that moment, a bloody skeletal hand stretched out from the back of Hawke's neck, this ghost hand was a life-seeking claw, little by little close to Hawke's neck, and Hawke didn't know it.

"Ahh

Lynn's screams frightened everyone again, her body trembled a little, and she hugged Fiona with both hands, and Hawke, who was already impatient with the atmosphere, said, "Sister Lin, what's the matter, it's okay." ”

Lin stretched out a slightly trembling hand and pointed at Hawke's shoulder: "Just now... Just now you had a bloody hand on your shoulder! ”

But Hawke didn't have any ghost hands on his shoulders now, but he was startled when Hawke looked over his shoulder. On his shoulder, an obvious bloody handprint was left on Hawke's shoulder, and Hawke immediately took out his greatsword and looked around, missing nothing.

The other four people present also clenched their weapons, because each of them felt unsafe in their backs here.

Click!

The sound of falling water sounded at the end of the corridor in the atrium, and the five of them instantly locked their eyes to the turning point at the end of the corridor.

Click! Click!

In this silent environment, even the sound of water droplets seems abnormal, and no one knows if it is water or what.

Click!

The sound of water droplets falling again, the interval between each drop will not be very short, but every time the drop sounds, everyone is like their hearts are pinched. The five of them walked slowly in a circle with their backs to their backs and observed the situation around them, but the temperature here was getting colder and colder, and even if they were back to their backs, they couldn't feel the temperature. As the echo of water droplets echoed through the corridor, everyone drew closer.

Horror comes from the unknown. The closer you get, the more people are nervous. Turning around the dark corner, I saw the little water left in a broken basin dripping down the crack into the pool of water on the ground.

"Harm! What did I think, that's it! Hawke mocked, and everyone sighed and relaxed.

Click! Just when everyone thought that there was no crisis, a drop of water dropped on Lista's forehead, and before Lista could wipe off the water droplets on his head, he saw that the other four people had horror on their faces, and Lista wiped the water droplets from his forehead with his hand, and when he looked at his hand, his body was shocked.

Blood!

The five of them looked up slowly. A bruised, severed hand was hung from the roof of the hallway with an iron hook. The severed arm still had sleeves on it, and the sleeves belonged to the same uniform that Ellis often wore, the Rochester Non-commissioned Officer Academy uniform.

Click! Another drop of blood dripped on Lista's face, but he didn't wipe it, because at this time he felt a strong eerie chill from the tail vertebrae to the back of his neck.

The other four held their breath as they saw a blood-stained skeletal hand slowly stretched out from Lista's back.
