Chapter 289: Into the Mountains to Dig Graves
Beckland's morning fog is the heaviest part of the day, which makes Beckland's winters cold and humid all over.
On Thursday morning, Hobart arrived in a horse-drawn carriage to Order Square, and he was not very happy to look at the people who were about to start running for their livelihood in the mist, or the homeless people who were like living corpses.
After he got into the rented carriage this morning, he remembered that he already had the ability to "travel", what else did he do?
But I have already got on the bus, and I think that there are many people in the square of order, and it seems too dazzling to use the ability to travel, so I still have to take a carriage.
Thinking back to last night's astonishing thoughts, Hobart was still a little afraid, what if the ancient reaper was injected with the power of the "Order Country" into the corpse of the ancient reaper, and the ancient reaper came back to life?
Maybe this is the resurrection opportunity that "Immortal" Gray Carrie has been waiting for?
Today, Hobert rethinks this question, and feels that yesterday's thoughts are completely overthought, first of all, he injected the power of "order", not the power of "undead", which is "incompatible" with Gray Carrie's path.
The second is the power of order, which does not have the ability to bring the dead back to life like the setting of an online article that Hobert has read.
At best, these powers recharge a lifeless object, allowing it to regain its short-lived spirituality and vitality, but this is not life, it is just a loophole in death, and it does not produce wisdom.
It will not resurrect an ancient god, on the contrary, the power of order will also block some passages for the resurrection of that ancient god.
After all, the shadow of order found the death loophole, so that the "Black Emperor" resurrection is a normal phenomenon, but the resurrection in other senses is not in line with the relevant order.
Hobert sighed: Order has always been such a double standard.
After thinking about it, he came to Order Square, and the fat man Auston and his six team members had already arrived early.
In addition to Hobert, a new member of the team, there is also a woman in her thirties named Lina, who is said to be a lady who looks as pale as a dead man, and has a wealth of experience in exploring ancient tombs, or tomb robbing.
Hobert speculated that she should be the Extraordinary Person of the "Grim Reaper" path, but the exact sequence is still unclear.
After everyone was assembled, under the command of Auston, two different carriages were boarded, and the group of nine people officially set off.
There are many small extraordinary teams like this in Beckland, and they are mainly divided into two categories, one is this form of mercenary team, living a life of fighting and killing, or like Auston's team, looking for the treasures of the extraordinary world.
One is the organization of teachers and students, which is loosely structured and more like a mutual aid association.
Hobert rode in the same carriage as Auston and Lina, and Auston said, "Both, although you joined our team on the first day, you are either retired officers or have an inextricable relationship with the military, I believe you know the importance of team discipline." ”
Hobart said in his heart: Sure enough, it is necessary to determine the authority of the captain first.
Lina on the side nodded slowly.
Alston added: "I hope that in this operation, you will carry out my orders without compromise, and in many cases this may save our lives." ”
Hobert smiled: "That's fine, but I also hope you understand that respect is mutual." ”
The implication is: don't plan to use me as cannon fodder.
Auston frowned, but thought of Hobert's strength: "It's okay." He didn't seem to hear what Hobart was saying.
Auston then began to tell some of the details of the operation.
Following the clues, they found an ancient tomb in the mountains northwest of Beckland, which was almost East Chester County.
Since there is no direct steam train to the area, it takes about 6 hours to get to the other side by horse-drawn carriage.
Hobert looked at his pocket watch, they set off around eight in the morning and would not reach their destination until two in the afternoon.
Then he sighed in his heart, in order not to reveal his specific strength, he could only follow them in the carriage.
When he didn't have the ability to "travel" before, it was nothing, but now he has the ability to "travel" but he can't use it, which makes Hobart a little speechless.
After the carriage had been walking for more than three hours, they began to enter the mountains, and the surrounding area was gradually becoming less crowded.
At twelve o'clock, they stopped on the side of the road for more than ten minutes and ate some dry food or light meals.
The road gradually became desolate, at first the sides of the road were full of dead grass, and then the road began to have grass, because it was already winter, most of the grass had dried up, and a small part of it still stubbornly left a touch of green.
According to Alston, this is the road to the tree farm, and in the winter it is time for the workers to cut the wood, which will be transported out of the mountain next spring.
So at this time, the mountain is lively, but there are no pedestrians or vehicles on the road.
Until there are no people in sight, you will have to walk the rest of the way, where two coachmen will camp and guard the carriage.
Everyone carried some necessary equipment and food on their backs, and continued to rush without pause, all of them were extraordinary, and each person did not feel difficult with a large bag of equipment.
Soon the group came to a hill with a good view of a small basin in front of the hill.
Such terrain is common in such hilly areas, surrounded by mountain peaks surrounding a basin that can be reached at the end at a glance, and a small river flows through the basin, but it is a seasonal river, and now the river is so small that you can see that the river has left several small lakes on the riverbed, or large puddles.
Auston, who was at the forefront, said: "We can be sure that the ancient tomb is in this basin, but we have been carefully searching here for more than a week, and we have not found any trace of the ancient tomb." ”
Hobart asked Lina, "If you communicate with the spirits around you, can you find a clue to the tomb?" ”
"The probability of getting a lead is low." Lina replied in a cold tone: "Most of the spirits don't care about these things, if it is a resentful spirit in the tomb, I guess he will come to us without us looking for him." ”
Hobert nodded and said to Alston, "I'll lead the way ahead." ”
As he spoke, he opened a black box and took out a bracelet with the characteristics of the Southern Continent.
This is the seal that makes it easy for the wielder to encounter the tomb, and if it is not actively used, it has two negative effects: it is easy to be hated by undead creatures; The wearer will become more and more fond of telling ghost stories, and the plot of the ghost story is easy for the owner to encounter.
Hobert doesn't really care about being hated by undead creatures, but the plot of ghost stories is easy to be encountered by the owner, so he should only wear it when he needs it most.
So Hobert led the team in front, and one of the team members reminded him: "The path you choose is very difficult." ”
"That means we're on the right path!" As he walked forward, Hobert whipped the dead grass that was in the way with his cane.
