Chapter 21: The Mourning Ceremony

Strictly speaking, this is a 4-on-3 battle.

Even the number of people is not fair, not to mention the difference in the combat quality of individuals......

And so it ended like a whirlwind.

Two of the three elves were killed and one was injured, and the experience was like a homecoming milk swallow, clanging into Heine's body.

His chest was hot, and there was a subtle sensation that he would soon be able to help his skeleton go up a level.

With her last experience at the Haunted Farm, combined with her familiarity with various game settings, Heine also realized something.

He can assign experience to summons, but it needs some kind of method.

In the absence of a mastery of the method, it can only be used in a crisis, which is more like a stress instinct.

As for his own upgrades, there is also a guess.

Perhaps until all of his skeletons catch up with his level, none of the experience he has gained will help him level up.

He shook his head, cleared his thoughts, and pressed the shock staff against the forehead of one of the remaining female elves.

The other party was the swordsman who rushed towards him at the beginning.

I thought he was a brave guy, but I didn't expect that the frightened soul was not possessed at this moment, and a puddle of stinky water stains appeared under him.

She was not only the most vicious in the battle, but also the first to try to escape, and was shot in the calf by an arrow from Mr. Sa.

"Tell me who you are and what you are doing here."

"I ...... We, we are the scouts of the Whispering Forest, the scouts ......"

Mr. Sa wondered: "Can't we understand what others say?" ”

In fact, he should have found out about this problem last night, but he hadn't accepted the status of a traverser at that time.

Catching sheep: "We can only understand Heine's words, or more precisely what he is saying, and the words are still incomprehensible. ”

"It's a pity, I still want to hear what lies this elf will tell, none of the elves in the Emerald Leaf Court are honest."

Heine heard this, and directly interrupted the female elf's intermittent explanation.

"I advise you not to lie, it won't do you any good."

The female elf's face turned pale suddenly.

"I ...... I'm not lying...... Ahhh

A bone spear pierced her thigh and pinned her to the ground.

"I said, it's not good for you."

Heine pinched the other's smooth chin.

"It's okay if you don't answer, I know who commissioned you.

"I'm not going to kill you either, but I'm angry.

"I'll nail you here, like a tree, and you won't bleed, but you have a few more white branches......"

The elves trembled even more:

"It's Janglu, it's Shonro-sama! She told us to take you into the forest and trap you! Please spare me...... I'm not going to lie anymore......"

……

A few minutes later, Heine, who had enough information, kept his word.

Instead of killing her, he pinned her to the ground with a bone spear.

The dead air infected the wound, the blood almost coagulated, and she wouldn't bleed to death - not anytime soon.

He then asked Sa to "overtake" the bodies of the two deceased separately as he did with the first elf.

He had heard the three of them mention the word "soul of the forest" before, and he seemed to be able to sense that he was being spied on and watched by the forest, and he couldn't do such a thing as picking up the clothes of the dead.

The same includes killing prisoners, so this elven swordsman survived.

He just took the weapons of the three as trophies, especially the sword that would fire when activated.

As he had guessed, after leaving the hunting ground yesterday, she returned to the Emerald Leaf Court and issued a commission, asking for surveillance and delaying Heine as much as possible.

She also implied a subtle hint in the mission not to kill her.

On the one hand, it is to protect the person who receives the commission, and on the other hand, it is also to be curious about Mr. Xia's skeleton with solid basic skills.

She wondered how Heine did it.

It seems that Cuiye Court is really short of people.

The organization wasn't hierarchical, or hierarchical, as he had imagined.

It's more of an organization like a mercenary guild.

The four of them accepted the commission, ignoring the reminder and deciding to kill the weak necromancer.

Because you can't move within the range of the viscounty, you have the first temptation to go deeper.

Heine had fired a distress flare for her before leaving, but by that time the elf had fallen unconscious from pain and fear.

Half an hour later, a gray four-winged giant bird landed here.

The three elves fell from the bird's back and began to rescue with solemn faces.

The head elf was noticeably older, and his hair and beard were curly, dark green, like moss.

He raised his hand and summoned vines to immobilize the survivor's form, then dispersed some of the bone spears to free her body before the formal healing began.

The remaining two were collecting the bodies of the deceased.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"Yes...... Is it a mourning ceremony? ”

"What?"

The complete mourning ceremony refers to the life-and-death battle of the wood elf archer, including this part of the ritual.

The victor needs to place the body of the defeated under the nearest tree and let his hands protect his heart.

For an ancient people who believe in nature, a sense of ritual is as indispensable as breathing.

"What are you talking about?"

Having dealt with the survivor's injuries, Linumu walked over with a frown.

"Chief Nurse Linumu, look at this."

"This is a ritual that only the wood elves of the mourning forest would use."

The elf's voice grew quieter and quieter.

He suddenly remembered that someone had said that the Linum Nurse in front of him had a thin Wood Elf blood in his body, so his healing spells were better than the others, and he was more favored by the Soul of Plants and Trees.

"Wood Elves?"

Linum looked at the two corpses, and suddenly looked up thoughtfully into the woods.

Sure enough, he found a mark on the trunk of a tree.

He was a little surprised in his heart, how could anyone in the mountains of McAlla still know such an ancient symbol?

It is obviously thousands of kilometers away from the mourning forest......

"You stay here."

He followed the mark into the woods, all the way to Daken's body.

Leaning over to inspect it, he pressed his finger to Daken's forehead and said a mouthful of a spell.

He was greeted by a cloud of emerald light.

It emerged from the tree beside Daken, as if it had some kind of spirituality, and bounced down on Linumu's shoulder, rubbing his face.

Linum's dark green eyebrows were twisted together.

It's even more incomprehensible......

It was obviously a killing caused by a necromancer, and it was obviously cruel to the living, but it was uncharacteristically not desecrated the corpse, and the soul of the plant and tree was not angry......

Even the defeated were treated with ancient rituals.

Why is this man so screwed???

……

On the other side, when Heine arrived in town, Arthur had already set off with his people.

As the number one macho man in Ebonwood Town, Arthur naturally doesn't care about the assistance of a necromancer who hasn't graduated from the boneyard.

Although George admired Heine, he was just an ordinary person.

His assessment was not worth mentioning in Arthur's eyes.

Maybe it was yesterday's words that made him think that Heine had a bit of a brain—only if he had a brain, so he was only valued by his mouth.

"I'm being looked down upon."

Heine sighed and got into the carriage the lord had lent him.

He didn't rush to set off, but went straight to the silver bazaar.

He hung the three loot on the Lion King's Trading House and sold them on consignment, but unfortunately the valuation of these three items was only a mere 2 gold coins, of which the sword accounted for 1.5 gold.

To his surprise, it wasn't an enchanted weapon......

He also bought some decent arrows.

"The first-level Demon Breaking Arrow costs 2 gold coins per root, and five magic arrows cost 10 gold coins......

"The first-level Void Breaking Arrow costs 2.5 gold coins per root, and two arrows cost 5 gold coins......

"There are 15 silent arrows in each group, and there are 3 gold in the three groups......

"10 armor-piercing arrows in each group, a total of 1 gold and 50 silver ...... in three groups"

Every gold coin Heine spends is a gift to Mr. Sa's favorability.

His favorability towards Heine rose and he couldn't help but admire:

"Your brothers usually fight such a rich battle?"

Teacher Xia: "That's not true, it's mainly because our brothers have no place to spend money if they want to......"

Mr. Sa thought about it and thought so.

As a traverser, he brings with him the core of a hunter - the quasi-head.

He's a free-to-play player in the game, and he doesn't need archery assistance to hit every shot, which is pretty good.

And this class is even more reliant in the early stage - you can make up for the lack of skills, or even a surplus, by pulling up the enchanted arrows.

Krypton is power!

But the other two are different.

They are no different from ordinary soldiers if they have no skills.

"Haha, dagger warrior, shield warrior!"

“…… You're almost there!! ”
