Chapter 232: Skeleton Lord's Clue
The notebook in Hobert's hand bears the signature of its former owner: Van Lentin Victor.
It's more like a crappy anthology of ghost stories than notes.
The content of the story is interesting to Hobert, such as an incident that happened in the mountains of West Velas County, Kingdom of Rune.
There was a hunter in the mountains who was very good at setting traps, and suddenly from one day onwards, the prey he caught with the traps was always gnawed by some wild beast.
But strangely, this experienced hunter could not tell from the bite marks what beast had gnawed on his prey.
A few days later, when the hunter went to check the trap again, he found that his prey had just been bitten, and he quickly followed the trail of blood to locate the murderer.
After about an hour or two of pursuit, the hunter came to the edge of a wooded field, and by this time it was getting dark.
In the deep mountains, the sun sets very quickly, and as soon as the sun sets on the top of the mountain, it seems to be covered with a black veil around it.
The hunter didn't intend to let the murderer go, and chased him all the way. BIquGe.biz
The moment he stepped into the woods, the hunter felt that the mountain style inside was cold, as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.
Just as the hunter was about to turn back, he found a towering tree with long branches and leaves, and its canopy covered a large area.
The trees were covered with corpses, all of which had been hanged, and the mountain breeze blew and the corpses rippled in the wind.
The hunter sat there in fright, and at that moment the corpses in the tree began to move, and they raised their hands in unison, took off the clasp that had hanged themselves, and with great agility descended the tree and rushed towards the hunter.
One skeleton, in particular, moves with great agility and is at the forefront.
The hunter's desire to survive was aroused, and he threw off his legs and ran until late at night before escaping.
When Hobert looked at the notes, he thought: if Furth saw this story, after her processing, and then rendered the atmosphere, it would be a very good ghost story.
Van Lundin's diction and description are very bland, as if he were talking about a barbecue tonight, so the content is interesting, but it is described very lame by the owner of the note.
The key is that there is also Fan Lunding's exploration behind, and he didn't say a word during the exploration process, only one sentence remained: it was suspected to be a sacrifice to the demon, and many corpses were transformed, and the skeleton lord was not found.
This immediately reminded Hobert of Dopheis, who may have been the kind of "janitor" who didn't have the slightest mood swing about everything around him when he was preparing for promotion.
There are seven or eight ghost stories like the above, and Van Lunding's footprints are almost all over the Northern Continent.
Finally, in Colson County, southeast of the kingdom of Fenerport, Van Lunding discovers the true Skeleton Lord, and he tries twice but fails to kill the Skeleton Lord, and the second time he almost falls into an ambush from the Skeleton Lord.
So Van Lundin returned to the kingdom of Rune and wanted to ask his teacher for help.
That's all for the notes, as Hobart can imagine, that on Van Lundin's way back to Beckland, he was attracted by the corpse of the ancient Grim Reaper, and finally died in the stone chamber.
Hobart opened the map again, the map showed the location of the Skeleton Lord, but it didn't look like a map of Rune, he put on his trench coat and went to the bookstore on the street to buy a map of the kingdom of Fenerpot, and brought it back for comparison.
Sure enough, the map left by Van Lunding was a map of Coulson County in the Kingdom of Fenerport.
County Coulson is located between the capital city of Fenerport and the port city of Seville, bordering the small country of Marceek, and the entire county is basically a continuous mountainous area.
Hober nodded, in this kind of deep mountain and old forest, it is indeed easy to appear extraordinary creatures with territorial consciousness such as skeleton lords, or undead creatures.
Once the Skeleton Lord was located, Hobert folded the map, tucked it in his notes, picked up his cane, and left a note for Furth and Hugh, telling them not to leave him dinner.
He then hops into a cab and heads back to his home in Queens.
In the carriage, Hobert sighed that today's encounter was really wonderful.
Just as he thought of this, his stomach "gurgled" twice, and he remembered that he had been looking at the booty at noon, and then he was so attracted by Rex's notes that he had forgotten to eat lunch.
When I got home, just in time for the Christine family to have dinner, Hobert sat down and devoured it.
Donna wondered, "Hobert, are you so poor that you can't even afford to eat now?" ”
Hobert took a sip of wine, and while sticking a chicken wing for himself with a fork, he asked, "Why do you think that?" ”
"I heard that you offended the whole Bakerland gentleman in the last case, so ......"
"So you think no one is going to court me?"
Donna nodded, Taryn stared at Hobart with nervous expressions, and Christine and Lisa Mon shook their heads with smiles.
"No, the people who come to me to fight the lawsuit now are scheduled until next month." Hobart smiled, "I'm a 'well-known lawyer' now!" My deposit is so large that it scares you to death when I say it! ”
"Cut~ deceive, your deposit can't reach 1000 pounds."
Hobert was almost pierced by the bones of the chicken wings: "Donna, can you be a little promising?" 1000 pounds can scare you? ”
Donna said seriously: "Of course you can, you must have robbed the bank, otherwise how could there be so much money?" ”
Hobart suddenly realized that mixing in the extraordinary circle is more profitable than robbing a bank! It's no wonder that the official extraordinaire has to be arrested when he sees the wild extraordinary.
Of course, the premise is that there must be a "helper" such as a "disordered country", otherwise it can easily become someone else's wealth.
In the midst of a quarrel with his sister, Hobert finished his dinner and followed Christine into the study.
Hobert invited Dophes to come in with him, and after closing the door to the study, he began to tell the story of his exploration of the ruins today.
Of course, some of Mr. Azik's words and deeds, Hobert did not explain.
After hearing that it was the corpse of the ancient god of death, Dophes's eyes lit up, and it was difficult to maintain the state of a "dead man".
Christine said: "So, the person who explores the ruins with you should be at least a Sequence 3!" ”
If you can suppress the black dog spirit beast so easily, it is at least a sequence 3.
In fact, this is still Hobert's "processing", if Christine knows that Azik treats the black dog spirit animal like a servant, Christine will definitely think that the angel has a plan, otherwise if the other party is an angel, he may not be looking at a sequence 7, how can he get acquainted with Hobert?
Hobert feigned confusion, "He told me that he was just a Sequence 4. ”
Christine shook her head, it was Hobert's chance to know such a "Sage", and he didn't plan to interfere too much.
In the end, Hobert gave a clue about the Skeleton Lord, but he found that when he said that the Skeleton Lord was in the kingdom of Fenerport, Christine and Dofez's faces changed.
