Chapter 16: The Perfect Cut

"It's here, the first hunk in Ebony Town! Ah sir! ”

Catching the sheep was curious: "Is this guy very famous in the early stage?" ”

"He fought hard with Lao Gao when he was seriously injured, and finally died in Lao Gao's hands, what do you say?"

"it? Wait, is it the old high during the day or at night? ”

"At night, but the old high at night is at the level of four. Didn't Lao Gao have two swords, one was Arthur's, Yagucheng and Simon belonged to Lao Gao. ”

Listening to the two of them talk about each other, although he knew that this was most likely the nickname of a certain big man in Eternal Dawn, Heine always felt weird.

However, to be able to fight hard with the fourth-level combat power, Arthur should be the ceiling of combat power in the McKara region.

Seeing Arthur, George also seemed to have found the backbone, and he was still in the mood to joke:

"That's your prey? What breed? ”

He was referring to the human head that Arthur was carrying.

"It's a necromancer."

Arthur rested his head on the table and swept his gaze over those present.

Heine, in particular, and the two miserable-looking skeletons behind him.

He was about to say something when he was stopped by George.

"Arthur, if it weren't for Heine, I might already be a corpse, and you should thank him."

Arthur's face changed slightly.

But he is obviously not the kind of person who can immediately change his words and say thank you, and just bows his head slightly apologetically, releasing the kindness that is characteristic of macho men.

Heine didn't care, he stared at the head on the table.

In the vision of the Dead Pupil, there was a silver spot of light in that head......

His heart was pounding.

After all this time, he gazed at each corpse with the eyes of the dead, and finally saw something familiar again.

"Mr. Arthur, where is the corpse of this head? Besides, can you give me this head? ”

Arthur was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to make such a strange request.

But the thought of being a necromancer makes sense.

"You can take it. The rest is on this side, and you can see it by walking 200 meters, and you won't miss it. ”

He pointed in a direction.

"Okay, thank you!"

Heine rode away and returned in less than ten minutes, with a blood-stained burden on his horse's back.

Anyone could tell he was happy now.

Arthur wasn't lying, that place really wasn't going to be missed.

The surrounding trees were destroyed, and in a pit the size of a Yamucha scene, a headless corpse was scattered everywhere.

Not surprisingly, there was also a bright silver spot on this corpse.

……

News of the attack on the lord spread quickly, and the hunt soon ceased.

Everyone, with the exception of Heine, was heavily scrutinized by Arthur.

Especially Mr. Donald.

Because only the person he invited mysteriously disappeared, he said that the other party had a special identity, but it must have nothing to do with the matter, and he quarreled with Arthur.

Heine was perhaps the most special of the guests.

Because of this act of wisdom and bravery, not only was he not censored, but he was also hired by George as a spell consultant.

He hadn't used the letter from Shiara yet.

George also kept his promise, and had a set of precision forged plate armor and a set of standard light chain armor selected from the storeroom, and invited him to dinner at the Viscount's Palace.

After dinner, the study.

There are only three people here, George, Arthur and Heine.

Two skeletons in the package behind him, to be exact.

If they are missing arms and legs, they will not be able to repair it for a while and a half, so they simply pack and strap on their bodies, and save space, and they are not heavy anyway.

At this time, George was no longer the chattering and laughing appearance at the dinner, his face was like the sky before a storm, gloomy and depressed.

Just like the low air pressure in this room.

"Say it first, Arthur."

"Yes, lord. Upon investigation, all three men were from the Githil Manor, and I found three dead horses in the northwest corner of the hunting grounds, with empty bellies and entrails that seemed to have been consumed by some evil ritual. ”

The two looked at Heine, who said:

"I guess it's a temporary breeding of bloodworms, and the Githils are good at it."

This was what he had heard from his own ghost at dinner.

The two said that the blood sausage at the dinner party was an enlarged version of the blood worm, which caused him to have no appetite for the night.

Bang!

Table - 30hp.

"Are they declaring war on me?"

George's angry lips trembled.

A few days after his father's death, there was a disturbance in the necromancer family under his rule.

What is this not about giving him eye medicine?

Speaking of which, as a lord, he is also quite miserable, the civil force in this world is not restricted, although he has the strongest combat power of Arthur, but only this one person can only be a deterrent, and cannot really do anything.

Adventurers are easy to say, as long as you manage the silver bazaar, let them go.

But if the Githilas were to be in a hurry, everyone in the viscount would be awake at night.

That's a family necromancer.

"Lord, maybe they're coming for me."

Heine spoke suddenly.

"What?"

"I am a necromancer, and so am my opponents, and I am the only one among the guests present who can find the traces of the other party and rush to the scene as soon as possible.

"Assuming I don't make it in time, then I'm the closest necromancer you were to when you died.

"But even if I managed to save you, I was almost transferred from the mountain, and I was also a necromancer at the scene, it seems that this is their purpose."

Hearing him say this, both of them looked solemn.

According to Heine's hypothesis, there is only one outcome-

Heine was bound to be torn to shreds by the enraged Arthur.

Like the parcel of shredded corpses he picked up......

Heine actually hid his words, and it was the blood worm that pounced on George at the last moment.

He didn't ask the lord if he had armor to block spells, like the leather armor of Janglu.

But the blood worm doesn't look like it will trigger protection.

Once it gets into George's brain, launch an attack on Heine...... The consequences are unimaginable.

After some thought, both of them agreed to this conjecture.

George was still angry, but his expression softened slightly.

He frowned and asked, "Your hatred with Githil is because of the Soul Curse?" ”

Heine shook his head.

"The Soul Curse is just the cause, I think there's a deeper factor. Do you remember why I went hunting? ”

George was stunned: "Donald? ”

"Yes, when he asked me how to explain the coincidence of that night, I couldn't answer, but now I'm having a similar coincidence.

"I've been locked up by the Gitills because of the Soul Rebuke, and because Mr. Donald had to take part in this hunt.

"Most people have seen him hire a mysterious helper, and in fact I've met her more than once."

Heine then recounts the two times he and Jan Lu met, including the tree herdsman at the Haunted Farm.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm pretty sure she was horrified when she saw me, and then she left, and then you were attacked, pointing the finger at me – what a coincidence, right?

"Of course, Mr. Donald can explain, and I have no direct evidence pointing at him, but I don't understand, why did our hatred come to such an extent?"

After a slight pause, Heine threw out his long-foreshadowed opinion.

"I think I probably did something that threatened him.

"When I think about it, it's just two things.

"I killed Hunter Githil, smashed the evil ritual he had created, prevented him from throwing dirty water on Principal Garay, and overturned the justice of that Light Trial.

"The second is my encounter at the Haunted Farm, where I seem to have stumbled upon some secret occasion, the farm of a necromancer family, guarded by elves and tree herders......

"Then the Githils took aim at me in this hunt.

"If we connect these things, can we draw a bold conclusionβ€”that the Githils have fallen to the Light?"

As soon as these words came out, the four people present were shocked!

Especially the two skull heads in the bag.

"I'll go, his speculation is infinitely close to the standard answer...... Brother Yang, did you say that he was blinded or pushed out? ”

"I tend to grasp at the last straw. In other words, you are a civilian who is targeted by the lord's staff, and you can still sleep without killing the other party? ”

"It makes sense, the timing of his entry is really ...... It's perfect. ”

Heine's output continues:

"I really can't explain the coincidence of the night in the bone-laying place, and the most coincidence is why Hunter just made a move on his front foot and the Holy Light Judgment followed......

If it was he who was trying to give justice to the Light, then everything made sense.

"If all my speculations are true, and Mr. Donald knows all this, then it is only natural that he hates me."

George tapped lightly on the arm of his chair and did not comment.

His mind drifted away.

On more than one occasion, Donald proposed to the old viscount that the people of the Eternal Dawn come here to cleanse them of evil and filth, but his father refused on the grounds that it was "not good to upset the balance".

Ebony Town, to be precise is the Maikala Mountains.

In the past, it was the place where Shikoku was at war.

And now, it is a place of balance between the four camps, the only "neutral war zone".

In the midst of his thoughts, George thought of four days ago.

The power that lit up the night sky was like a slap in the face.

The Holy Light is really domineering.

George suddenly asked, "Arthur, did Mr. Donald often bring a middle-aged man to see him when the master was still there?" ”

"Yes, that's a master gardener, and he often handles flowers and plants for the master."

"Heh, master gardener? It's funny. ”
