Chapter Seventy-Five: The Owl
That's the end of the discussion about the black robe. Delai is right, their strength is still too weak, and it is a bit unrealistic to discuss this.
"When are we leaving?" said Jane, a more practical question.
"It will take another 1 to 2 days. Lianhua replied.
"Hmm, what else is there to deal with?" asked Li Ao, looking at Lianhua.
"yes, aren't all zombies cured? Lucy was also a little puzzled.
"I'm going to have to search again. Lianhua gave the answer.
"That's right, to be on the safe side, let's look for it, in case there is a zombie hiding and it doesn't come out until we leave, there will be a new round of zombie disease in Kasro City. Liao nodded in agreement.
"Well, then tomorrow you and Leo will go to the city to search, and Jane and I will prepare some more antidotes," Delai said, looking at Jane.
"No problem," Jane raised her bowl to Delai, and their bowls collided in the air.
"What about me?" Lucy pointed to herself.
"Lucy, you'll be tomorrowβ" Liao hadn't finished speaking.
was preempted by Lianhua, "You've worked hard these days, so take a good rest." β
"It's okay, it's not hard. Lucy looked at Lianhua and smiled.
"What are you going to do next?" said Delai, looking at Lianhua and Liao. "When my brother and I came, we took the route of 'Ghost Town' and Wailing Swamp, and this route was the fastest to go to the Imperial Capital. β
"We're just going to go down this road, and I'm going to go to the 'ghost town' to do some errands. Liao stuffed the vegetables into his mouth and said as he chewed.
"The Wailing Swamp is infested with monsters. Are you sure you want to go?" reminded the wandering magician Jane.
"The legendary necromancers are not our opponents, so why bother with mere demonic beasts?" Li Ao raised his eyebrows and said loudly.
"Where did you get your confidence?" Lianhua squinted at Li Ao.
"Haha~ I'm talking about us, us. Liao emphasized with a smile.
"Well, we. Delai smiled and raised his bowl.
"Respect, us. Jane raised her bowl as well.
Five wine bowls collide again in the air.
"Don't worry too much, the demonic beasts in the Wailing Swamp are all low-level, but it will be a little troublesome if you encounter those who live in groups. Jane put down the bowl and said.
"Jane, have you been?" asked Liao.
"Well, it's not going deep, it's just going through. Jane nodded.
"It's true that there are only low-level demonic beasts. Lianhua, the only one who had been here, affirmed Jane's statement.
"Oh, by the way, there's also news that my brother and I heard when we came that a ruin has appeared in the huge lake in the center of the Wailing Swamp!" Delai put down his bowl and suddenly looked at the others with a wicked smile. "I didn't go to see it when I was in a hurry, but now I guess I have a chance. Hee-hee~"
"Ruins, what ruins?" was aroused.
"I don't know, I just know that it came to me not long ago," Delai continued. "I've also heard that there are many quests to explore the ruins in the Mercenary Hall, and the rewards are not low. β
"Who are you listening to?" Lianhua asked, putting down the wine bowl.
"When my brother and I came, just in case, we entered a mercenary group called 'White Wolf', this mercenary group still has some names in the Wailing Swamp, and the ruins are what they say. β
"The 'White Wolf' mercenary group, I've heard about it, so this news shouldn't be wrong," Jian analyzed. "Hmph~ There are already a lot of mercenaries and mercenary groups that have been wandering in the wailing swamp all year round, and I'm afraid there will be more now. β
"Hahaha, that's not very lively! Interesting, interesting. Liao said excitedly.
"But this was more than a month ago, and maybe this ruin has already been explored. Delai said as he looked at Liao with the dish in his hand.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can see it. Liao waved his hand casually.
Compared to Li Ao, Lianhua's mood is not very good now, wailing swamps, demonic beasts, quests, mercenaries, and ruins!
"Lianhua, what's wrong with you?" Lucy asked with concern when she saw Lianhua's brows furrowing and tightening.
Lucy's voice pulled Lianhua out of her thoughts, "It's nothing. β
"Are you really okay?"
"Well, don't worry, I'm here. β
Lyon, Jane, and Delai didn't care about Lianhua and Lucy, and talked about the ruins, and Rio was eager to fly to the Wailing Swamp to have a look, chatting and chatting about the large barrel of ale that was drunk like this, and the eight side dishes were also eaten.
Full of wine and food, everyone simply cleaned up the wooden table, and then each said hello and left, Liao used the wine to practice, Jane found a place to meditate, Delai went back to the temporary laboratory, only Lucy and Lianhua still stayed at the wooden table.
Not long after they left, Lucy felt her head swell, and she fell asleep on the wooden table for a while, her face still red with wine.
Feeling the coolness of the night breeze after the autumn, Lianhua shook her head and took off the black cloak on her body and put it on Lucy's body, "Really." β
In her sleep, Lucy tightened her cloak, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which seemed to be a good dream.
Lianhua looked at Lucy and smiled helplessly, and turned to leave. He didn't go to rest, but came to the periphery of the church, standing in the open space under the moonlight, his reflection stretched long, "Mu!"
A black shadow silently appeared behind Lianhua, and a shadow appeared out of thin air in the clearing under the moonlight, "What does the young master command?"
"I want information about the remains of the Wailing Swamp. Lianhua looked up at the moon.
"Okay, my subordinates will do it. The shadow vanished silently, except for the sound that lingered in the air, as if he had never been there.
Lianhua turned to look at Mu's position just now, "I hope I'm too careful." β
This night is destined for someone to lose sleep.
The next day, the morning fog had not yet lifted, except for Lucy, who was still sleeping, and the others had already gone to work according to last night's arrangement.
This time, Lianhua and Liao searched very carefully, and they didn't let go of the ruins at all, and Fleck and Gilek, who were originally in command of the reconstruction, participated in the search team, in their words, "The reconstruction of Kasro City can be delayed, but the hidden danger of zombies cannot be delayed." "Eventually, all the citizens of Kasro City put aside their hands on the rebuilding work and joined the search operation.
From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., the city of Kasro was turned upside down, and no zombie shadows were found. When the search was over, all the citizens of Kasro City had a happy smile on their faces.
That night in the trading area of the city of Carlos, the townspeople spontaneously celebrated, sitting around a large bonfire, singing, dancing, drinking, and chatting. Of course, Lianhua and the others, who saved the city, were the core of the celebration, and the number of people who persuaded them to drink and chat was innumerable, and Delai took the opportunity to give the old woman the antidote and tell her how to use it. Celebratory laughter filled the night sky, breaking the silence of Kasro City that had lasted for more than a month. The huge bonfire in the trade area was like a phoenix reborn in Nirvana, and the red lotus rolled up reflected the night.
The next morning, it was faintly bright, and the citizens of Kasro City were still asleep due to the late celebrations of last night. Lianhua drove the carriage and quietly drove out of Kasro City.
In the faint light of the sky, a snow-white owl hovered and watched above the walls of Kasro. It wasn't until the carriage disappeared to the north that it turned around and flew in the direction of the church, and the piece of poisonous grass behind the church soon appeared in its field of vision, and it folded its wings and landed steadily on the edge of the hundred poisonous weeds. A white light flashed out of the owl's body, the more the white light flashed, the more dazzling the owl became, the owl flashed bigger and bigger, the claws became legs, the feathers on the body became robes, the wings became hands, the owl's face slowly became longer and longer, as the white light gradually dissipated, an old man in a snow-white robe stood by the hundred poisonous grasses, he looked at the hundred poisonous grasses in front of him and smiled kindly, "Jane, good job." Hahaha~" As he spoke, the old man walked to the center of the hundred poisonous weeds, he stomped his foot slightly, and a green magic array spread outward with the old man's feet as the center, until the entire church was covered.
