December 782.

The western edge of the Blight, an elven village.

At this time of year, the flowers and plants in the mountains are withering and the leaves are gone, but the area is still lush and green.

But there was also a dead silence in the green, as if it were not a living plant, but a dusty plastic model.

Heavy snow was blowing and hiding the gloom.

There was a sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and then the earthen wall was trampled by tall four-legged beasts.

A pair of leather bootlaces flew off and splashed gray and black dirt, quickly taking over the entire village.

"A small team found no living people."

"Neither did the second squad."

"Three Squads ......"

…

There was not a single living person left in the entire village, not even a dead person, let alone supplies.

The elven officer at the head took off his helmet, revealing a face wrinkled like tree bark, but not like Linum.

It's more like being eaten by something.

Every now and then something crawled under the dry skin.

He swept his cloudy gaze over the trembling soldiers, and suddenly raised his hand.

"Kill!"

Without warning, the squad leader, who had just reported the results of the search, suddenly raised his knife and slashed at the soldiers behind him.

The latter was taken by surprise, some struggled to resist, and some ran out.

For a while, severed limbs flew sideways, blood splattered, and the village was filled with a scene of purgatory.

Suddenly, a figure swept to the door, only a few steps left to escape.

The officer's mouth suddenly opened.

A slender, dragonfly-like four-winged flying insect swept out and burrowed through the back of the deserter's heart like a sharp arrow.

The deserter's body staggered forward a few steps under inertia before falling headlong.

The flying insects came out covered in blood, and their wings were spotless and still shiny.

It flew back to the officer and got into his mouth.

The officer's mouth squirmed a few times, and he licked the blood on his teeth.

The killing continues.

After a few minutes, only half of the group of nearly fifty people remained.

The officer raised his hand:

"Stop!"

The five squad leaders stood upright with their knives drawn.

"Load the rations into the truck."

Half an hour later, more than twenty white corpses were loaded into the car and returned along the road from which they came.

The snow was still falling, but suddenly, the deserter who had just fallen in the doorway struggled to get up.

He looked back at the bloodstains on the ground, and went west without looking back.

……

……

The eastern suburbs of Green Leaf Town.

With a loud cry, people inside and outside the house were boiling!

"Born, born!"

"Gave birth to a boy!"

"Great, mother and son are safe!"

…

It is a temporary shelter for refugees.

With Heine's help, there were plenty of supplies, and the elves were much better off than in the forest.

The newborn life heralds the hope of a new life, bringing a little solace in this cold winter.

Among the excited elves, there are three wooden stake-like guys who stand out.

Although it does not cause panic as it did at first, people still avoid them, consciously or unconsciously.

The trio didn't care about it.

Mr. Sa: "It's so good, the dog is left with the mother and son safe, but it's a pity that Brother Yang is ...... Alas. ”

Teacher Xia also sighed: "If he is here, he should be very happy." ”

Wei Diankite: "No, you two are a little sick, right?" Brother Yang is just in Rock Town, and it's not a special one! ”

Mr. Sa: "? Northeast people are spewing blood, right, where did I say that Brother Yang is gone? ”

Teacher Xia: "That's it, you have a problem in your heart, right?" Good guy, is this the Shadow Light incompatible!? ”

Guardian Kite: "...... Ah, yes, yes, that's my problem. ”

…

The three of them were setting aside the disgusting man, and Bedwell walked out with his hands covered in blood.

The elves on both sides immediately sent him sincere praise and blessings.

The paladin has been taking care of the refugees ever since Heine fooled him into Greenleaf Town.

Thanks to the elves, since two months ago, there have been waves of refugees.

There are as few as three or five people, and as many as one or twenty people.

Xiao Bei's skin is rough and thick, and he has great strength and holy light, and he is helping to build a house and praying for blessings and healing, and he has no less strength.

Considering the image of the Golden People in the eyes of the elves, his prestige in the hearts of this group of refugees should have been brushed up.

Teacher Xia: "It's a pity, purifying the undead is considered merit." ”

Mr. Sa: "That's the eternal dawn, the bloody dawn is not like that." ”

Wei Diankite: "That's been a while...... He's coming, who's going to deal with it this time? ”

didn't wait for him to finish, the two of them were invisible and backward, and they were gone.

Guardian Kite: "I Nima ......"

Two huge flaming question marks shot at each of them.

These days, we have made a lot of progress in addition to language learning.

Mr. Sa learned the hunter's "tactical retreat", commonly known as the back jump.

The Guardian Kite has learned to combine question marks with spell splitting.

Teacher Xia...... Mr. Xia's progress is in other areas.

After being forced to appear, he exclaimed, ", can you predict this?" I've read it all through. ”

However, before the Wei Diankite could be proud, he saw a line of purple text coming out of the red turban:

"Bedwell, Heine has something to look for you, ask V. for details."

"What the fuck ......"

…

The people of Green Leaf Town have long been surprised by this.

The three of them served as instructors, and they often went to the street to negotiate with people.

Xiaobei happened to see this scene when she squeezed out of the crowd, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

From the first time I saw these three skeletons and learned about their deeds.

Bedwell knew he had been deceived by Heine.

Even if the Holy Light Skull wasn't his summon, it was inextricably linked.

It's a pity that since then, he has been confronted by Heine several times in person, and now he can't even see anyone.

But after a long time, the young paladin also learned a trick.

Pretending to be confused.

So, although he knew that the other party was joking, he still stepped forward and asked:

"Mr. V, what is the matter with Mr. Heine?"

The Guardian Kite was silent for a few seconds, and a pocket-sized question mark appeared above her head.

He also pretends to be confused.

“…… Don't you understand me again? ”

"Yes."

Becky was angry and funny.

He has a lot of dealings with the other three of them, and they also like to "chat" with him.

But most of the time it was playing tricks on him.

He was also annoyed at one point and decided to give the other party some colors to see.

However......

He was unable to defeat any of the three in a head-on battle.

Even when the opponent obviously released the water, the best record lasted only five minutes......

He raised his shield in the Shadow Flames for five minutes, and that was it.

Finally, a sentence came out of the other person's head, "I'm out of power".

As for fighting the skeleton with the red turban, it was even more abusive.

The other party seems to have a wealth of experience in fighting paladins, and his sense of suppression is stronger than that of Lord Gawain.

But because of this, he feels better every time he fights.

His wavering determination was thus strengthened.

He guessed that this was Heine's test.

Maybe when the test is over, I will be able to meet the Lord who bathes in the holy light.

Xiaobei sighed and was about to leave, when a few words suddenly popped up above the other party's head.

"Good work."

He was stunned: "Huh? ”

"You saved the kid who lost Fuqin."

Bedwell: "...... Yes? ”

…

Mr. Sa: "Hahaha, Brother Wei, you misspelled it, it's not 'Fuqin' but 'father'." ”

Wei Diankite: "Huh? What is it? ”

Mr. Sa: "'Father'! ”

Guardian Kite: "Eh! ”

Mr. Sa: "What the hell? Northeast people, you trick me! ”

Not only from the Northeast, but also a person surnamed Xia was laughing.

At this moment, the guard from the east suddenly shouted:

"Someone seems to have come, and he's covered in wounds!"

Bedwell was startled and hurried out.

But the three people who had just dispersed were faster than him!

Mr. Sa: "It's coming, it's coming, it must be a spicy man!" It's okay to be more than a month late, and it's finally here! ”

Teacher Xia: "I thought the plot had been changed beyond recognition, but he still came to us with a stomach full of troubles." ”

Xiao Bei naturally didn't know this, and when he rushed out, he happened to see the three of them blocking an elven soldier covered in bruises.

He hurriedly shouted: "Three, he is dying, please let me treat him!" ”

Mr. Sa: "Stand ten meters away and don't move."

Becky: "Huh? But he ......"

Teacher Xia: "Believe in us."

The elven soldier had traveled a long way after being seriously wounded, and had already lost consciousness here.

He instinctively called for help from the paladin-like Becky.

"Help me...... Help me......"

Bedwell couldn't bear it, and was about to step forward.

A ball of flame floated out and fell in front of him.

Melting a question mark on the snow.

Guardian Kite: "Don't move."

At this time, many elves also came out, and someone exclaimed:

"Isn't that the Iveka of the Morninglight family?"

"It seems that it is, save him......"

"Paladin-sama, please......"

Cold sweat rolled down Xiaobei's forehead, but he still whispered comfort: "Don't worry, everyone, the three of them may have a reason for doing this." ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

A few seconds later, a voice came out.

"They're undead......"

The sound is small, but clear.

It's like throwing a pebble on the surface of a calm lake, and circles of doubt ripple out.

"And you're a paladin......"

They didn't dare to speak out more suspicions, but just pushed and shoved in silence.

It was like this to make Becky cross that line.

…

Mr. Sa: "He seems to be under a lot of pressure, should we say something?" ”

Teacher Xia: "What are you talking about, I feel angry when I think about the plot." I really want to throw this thing into the crowd and parasitize it like crazy. ”

Mr. Sa: "Then you can't parasitize more people?" ”

Teacher Xia: "Then Lao Tzu killed them all, and there was no burden in his heart." ”

Wei Diankite: "You can be a person, the dog is only born." ”

…

While the three of them were chatting, Xiao Xiaosa, who had rushed to report the news, finally rushed over with Heine.

When the refugees saw him coming, they were immediately silent.

Heine stepped forward and asked the three, "What's wrong?" ”

Mr. Sa: "Something is wrong with this person."

Heine had already heard the problem just now, and only after completing the process did he open the pupil of the dead with a solemn face.

The man wasn't dead yet, but he was near.

Death surrounded him, like a flock of crows waiting for a man to die.

Compared to this, the things in his body are much more active.

Heine would not have been able to see this.

But the strange thing is that black outlines insects the size of rice grains in his body.

Some are eggs, some are already hatching and are about to move.

Black ...... that can be seen under the eyes of the dead

It could only be an Ember.
