"Negative energy? what's that?" asked Cheno, confused. Although his brain is not bad, he is only a farmer after all, and of course he does not know anything about higher-level things.

This question made Leo a little embarrassed, so he had to explain it in plain language as much as possible: "It is energy similar to life energy, if a living person is attacked by negative energy, he will fall into weakness, and may even die." ”

Chenoult nodded, indicating understanding, and then worried: "Then my brother ...... him"

Leo pondered for a moment and said, "Let me ask you, have you ever gone out again since your brother came over?"

Cherno hurriedly replied, "No, he came back and fell ill directly." I was afraid that he would be affected by the wind, so I didn't even dare to open the window. ”

Confirming what he thought, Leo sighed and said, "Fortunately, it's not too late...... You almost killed your brother. ”

"Huh?" Cherno's eyes widened in disbelief.

Leo explained: "According to my guess, it is likely that he was attacked by negative energy when he was out and about. However, he is only fifteen years old, his body is still growing, and his vitality is also on the rise. Attacked by negative energy, as long as you eat and drink enough every day and bask in the sun frequently, it won't take long for you to get better. But you always let him in this dark room, the negative energy is not dispelled, and it has corroded his body. ”

Cheno's face turned pale, and his hands clenched into fists, "It's still ...... Is there any salvation?"

"Wait, I'll see. As soon as the words fell, Leo had already taken out a bunch of potions from the spatial ring.

Primary Healing Potions, Primary Strength Potions, Fire Protection Flasks...... There are quite a few types of potions, and there is even a bottle of hydrating potions.

Now that he knows what the problem is, Leo also has a specific way to deal with it. Quickly finding a bottle of pale green elixir, he looked at the label on it and said, "This primary life force elixir can't directly dispel the negative energy in his body, but it can slightly increase his life force." ”

Now in this situation, Chenno can only choose to believe Leo, take the potion bottle and open it immediately. I fed my brother.

"Master Mage, and then?"

Looking at the young man on the bed, his face seemed to be a little ruddy, Leo knew that this potion should be useful, and said with a smile: "I still don't understand? If nothing else, it will be fine in half a month at the latest. ”

"Oh, oh!" Cherno nodded repeatedly, and when he heard that his brother could get better, he subconsciously knelt down again.

Leo grabbed the young man and said, "Stop! I'm not as old as you." It's not good to be kneeling with you all the time. ”

"Really...... Thank you so much. I...... I wanted to ...... Alas...... "Chenno slapped himself in the mouth.

"It's okay, people will have problems that can't be solved, you don't have to worry about it. Leo said kindly. The sense of accomplishment of being able to use one's abilities to help the weak is very memorable.

Cheno's younger brother was attacked by negative energy, and it was likely that something was nearby, so he asked, "Have you ever seen any undead creatures here?"

"Undead creatures, what's that?" Cherno, for some reason, was the first time he had heard the term.

Leo explained, "It's skeletons, zombies, and stuff like that. ”

With that, Cherno understood. Recalled, he said: "There was a zombie the year before last, and it was burned to death by the villagers, and I haven't heard of it recently. ”

Zombies are the lowest undead creatures. Once burned to ashes, it is equivalent to a complete death, and it is absolutely impossible to come back to life. Leo thought for a moment and asked again, "Then your brother is back." Did you say you encountered something?"

Cheno's head shook his head and said, "No, he just came back and said that he was not feeling well, and he didn't mention anything he saw." I don't think he saw it. Otherwise, I will definitely sue sù. ”

"Maybe he didn't know it. Leo nodded, and since there was no clue, he decided not to dig any further.

Thinking that this was the end of the matter, Leo was just about to go back to continue solidifying the spell model, but he heard Cherno say: "By the way, Master Mage, he said that when he came back, he spent the night at Minethil Manor, could it be there...... I've heard that the Manor of Minethil seems to be haunted since its defeat. ”

"What do you mean, Minethil Manor is haunted? Tell me what's going on. Leo was slightly surprised. Unlike Earth, there are indeed undead creatures such as ghosts on the Gaia plane, but this is only the name of the people at the bottom, and mages prefer to call them resentful spirits, ghosts, or spirits. And a certain memory from this body, the original Minethil family, there were indeed rumors of haunting.

Seeing Leo's reaction so violently, Cherno cringed a little, but still explained: "That's right, the town of Fuen is about two days away from the village, and most of the people in the village will spend the night at the Minahill Manor on the way......"

Before he could finish speaking, Leo interrupted: "No, isn't it haunted? How dare you spend the night there? And isn't that manor already sold to the Joseph family, isn't there a guard?"

Cherno replied, "Actually, no one has ever seen a ghost, it's just that everyone says so...... There were indeed a few guards in the manor before, but then they all withdrew for some reason. ”

"I see. Leo thought for a moment, it was completely in line with the situation back then, there were rumors of haunting, but no one really saw anything. He asked, "Is there anyone else who has also fallen ill after spending the night at Minethil Manor?"

Cherno scratched his head, "This...... I don't know very well. ”

............

The night passed quickly, and as soon as the light of day dawned, Leo had already gotten up and set off. As for Cherno, it was noisy for most of the night, and the ordinary farmer estimated that he would not wake up until noon.

Before leaving, Leo left ten gold coins on the table, which were not large, but they should be able to ease the needs of the poor family.

Riding on the back of a chubby reindeer, heading southwest, Leo pondered the situation at Minethil Manor.

Since the disappearance of the ancestor Roland, the situation of the family has deteriorated day by day, and Roland's descendants have not had any powerful figures, not even a serious mage.

With the decline of the family, many people chose to leave, and in Leo's generation, relying on the "father's" fairly good economic acumen, life has also improved a little. But with the accidental death of the "parents", the last pillar of the family collapsed. Leo's few remaining unscrupulous relatives were unwilling to live in the increasingly dilapidated manor, and not only excluded Leo, the first heir in line, to the Joseph family as a servant, but even sold the manor to the Joseph family.

According to Leo's knowledge, the Joseph family bought the manor in preparation for a later knighthood promotion. As long as it can be promoted to a marquis, then the family can split up and inherit the original earl title, and Minel Hill Manor is very suitable to become the core territory of an earl.
