Chapter 40: Alien Gods Fight to Win the Waves (Form 1)

The document was also found in a secret room, and due to the illness of the merchant Priyanka, he was temporarily unable to enter the ruins, so the "Blessed Ancestor Map" as a detective accessory was naturally borrowed by everyone as a must-have item for the ruins exploration team. Now there are only nine semi-professionals in the town, and two of them have entered the hospital, so the remaining seven professionals can't make up two groups of four to explore. Except for some professional accessories, the rest of the accessories are temporarily classified as shared, and the team members who enter the ruins will be given priority to carry.

The thick document looked more like a diary, tightly wrapped in leather and discarded in a package behind the secret pedestal of a shrine. When it was discovered, it was covered in thick sand and stones, and if it weren't for the fact that Misandy was camping and trying to find something to set up a trap to prevent the team from being attacked by monsters while sleeping in the ruins room, she wouldn't have discovered the diary that was buried deep in.

The daughter of a forest logger, Mishandi lost her mother at an early age and lived a carefree life under her father's protection, until one day, more than a dozen bandits suddenly appeared and surrounded her home in the forest. She still remembers the day when her father, covered in blood, slammed the door against his abdomen and slammed the door.

As a young child, she didn't know what was going on outside, only the countless fires and the cacophony of people. Her father came to Misandy with blood in his mouth, and Misandy screamed and was about to pounce on her father, who loved her all the time. But instead of embracing her into the generous and warm embrace as usual, her father put aside the little rabbit doll that had snatched Mishandy's hand, and shoved a crossbow on the table into Mishandy's arms.

The father rested his head lightly on Mishandy's forehead, and tears flowed down his eyes, "When you grow up, you have to learn to protect yourself, and you must live well, you know?" After a while, the father finished saying this to Mishandy, lifted the leather blanket on the ground, and opened a wooden door hidden on the floor, "Run, run away, don't come back!"

With that, his father shoved Misandy, who had not had time to speak, into the wooden door. Mishandi screamed and fell into the passage, the wooden door above her head slammed shut, and the strong little girl groped her way forward in the darkness, the sharp stones in the passage cutting through her clothes and palms, and cutting blood marks on her body.

The little girl crawled out of the secret passage, hid far away in the bushes, and watched the cabin where she was born being swallowed up by the firelight, she clung to the bow and crossbow in her arms, bit her lip tightly, and turned her head to run into the distance.

More than ten years have passed, and the little girl has now become an excellent crossbowman, and she has been promoted to become an awe-inspiring professional. Now she has returned to the land where she was born, wanting to take revenge on the bandits who broke into this land, but she gets the news that the bandits' lair has been wiped out in the town.

Filled with pain, she returned to the place that had been burned by the fire, and it was now a thorny jungle. Offering white flowers and wordless remembrance, she let go of the heavy burden in her heart for more than ten years and was ready to protect the town with her partners.

The discovery of the diary has brought a new shadow to all this, because it seems to record the untold secrets of the ancestors of the Hamlet family.

"Ever since I learned about that ancient rumor and discovered mysterious patterns and spells in the underground passages of the manor, I have become obsessed with learning about mysteries. In the beginning, as a layman, I didn't know anything about channeling and summoning. I wasn't content with something as muffled, boring as why a dead rat's legs twitched, so I humbly went around and sought out experts who knew the stuff. ”

"Some well-known overseas scholars and experts who have studied necromancy have come to Raven Territory and found Hamlet Manor. I learned from them about necromancy, and I shared with them the excavation process of my manor's tunnels and the results of my research. However, all this was expected by me. Finally, one day, having obtained everything I wanted to know, I ordered the scholars to be killed in their sleep. ”

"After this, I used the necromancy I learned to resurrect these scholars and experts, who no longer had their own minds, but who all retained their knowledge of life. However, I never imagined that after these resurrected corpses were freed from the constraints of human bodies and moral humanity, they would begin to act recklessly and perform necromancy on each other. One by one, the dead in the passage were resurrected, and the resurrected ones were resurrected to the next... Endless. As a last resort, I closed the passage and sealed them inside. ”

It turns out that the endless skeletons and corpses in the ruins, as well as all kinds of mutated maggots and spiders, are all made by the ancestor of that family in order to learn necromancy, regardless of human life.

"It's really ridiculous, for that empty lie, to kill so many people, and finally to let us descendants scattered all over the continent wipe his ass, it's really wonderful, what a big show. The robber Dismasas clasped his hands and sneered as he leaned against the wall and sarcastically said.

"For the sins committed by our ancestors, we as descendants should atone for them, so that the spirits of our ancestors in heaven can be forgiven by the Father. The leper wore a mask on his face, and he could not see the expression under the mask, but from his solemn words, it could be guessed that it must be sacred and solemn.

"You are really a religious fool, if the Father really exists, why doesn't He take matters into his own hands to get rid of these evils and monsters? Disney never believed this, because he had seen too many good people without good reward, and bad people who did whatever they wanted were examples of glory.

"Don't make any noise, there is more, let's listen next, we are all descendants of the Hamlet family, the mistakes made by our ancestors, we try to make up for the mistakes made by the ancestors, all for the glory of the family. Sister Yulia of War said, but her eyes were fixed on the ascetic En and the occultist Shen. The two sat on the chairs next to them, without interjecting, Yulia wanted to win the support of these two people, after all, the recent changes in the town were brought about by these two people, and the truth about the curse of the territory was also revealed little by little after their arrival.

"Although my judgment and actions were swift, some of the information eventually got out. The word spread, and the people in the town knew about the gossip that I was studying the dark arts and doing some horrible things... Angry people began to take to the streets, gathering in the circular square to demonstrate against my actions, and I decided to pay bribes to the Imperial Inspectorate stationed in the town to put an end to the rebellion. ”

"However, it may be that the upper echelons of the empire have also heard some bad rumors, and the officials are not willing to accept my money. The growing intensity of the demonstrations seriously affected my research, so I decided to use the money used to bribe officials to hire a large bandit bandit. At the same time, I worked with them on a magic cannon that could last for hundreds of years, and under the suppression of the robbers and magic cannons, the imperial officials disappeared, the people were quiet, and the population of the town reached a relatively manageable level. Finally, I was able to continue my research again, this time with my focus on blood and flesh. ”

Yulia finished reading her notes, and everyone in the room fell silent. They didn't expect that the so-called family ancestor would be such a person, it can be said that a demon and a butcher are not excessive, in order to carry out evil research smoothly, he can wave the butcher knife in his hand to the inhabitants of his territory without any doubt. In the wilderness of the Raven Field, this is how the countless bandits came from. The magic cannon that killed several professionals turned out to be from the hands of the ancestors.

Ridiculous, ridiculous!

After a long silence, Yulia spoke first, "It seems that the secrets in the ruins are far more than these, there must be something else we haven't discovered. What were the ancestors looking for, what were those ancient legends, and why did they tempt the ancestors to devote themselves to this terrible knowledge? I suggest that in the future exploration of ruins, we should focus on finding words, and break the curse of ruins as soon as possible, so that we can restore the glory of the town one day earlier. ”

"Agreed~" said the leper Baldwin.

"I'm okay, I just want that monster to taste my bullets!" said the robber Dismas. Now that many of the trinkets have been eliminated, each professional has become much stronger, his combat power and survivability have increased greatly, and he is also confident to challenge the nightmare that appeared in the mysterious void two years ago, and wants to avenge the death of his companions.

The exploration of the ruins is very smooth, the horror pressure value before, now it is nothing, the only thing to pay attention to is the quirks and diseases that the rules attach to the professional after the exploration, but not every time, the progress of the ruins exploration is much faster. Everyone's career level has also risen faster.

"Seeker", "Novice", "Adventurer", "Veteran", "Master", "Defender", "Legend", these are the seven levels that a professional can reach, and every step up is a leap.

Just when the crossbowman Misandy and the merchant Priyanka reached the "Adventurer" rank, He Shen and Wang Chengen reached the "Master" rank, and the rest of the professions received the "Defender" rank, the second Ancestor's diary was discovered in the room after the team killed a necromancer, which contained more secrets.

"Channeling and summoning creatures from other worlds is a very complex spell. First of all, he needs a good medium to withstand the arrival of his spirit, and secondly, he needs complex spells and the correct interval between breathing and pronouncing, and the timing of the summon is also very important, no matter which point of mistake will lead to the failure of the summoning. ”

"In the beginning, I kept failing, and what I summoned was disappointing and useless. After continuous experimentation, I found that the medium material that bears the call is a very important factor, and the closer you are to the human meat, the more satisfactory the results will be. It's a pity, because of the suppression, there are not many residents in the town anymore, I can't let the residents disappear anymore, if this continues, the manor will be destroyed by the empire, I have to think of other ways. ”

"I'm a genius! I've found that pork is a good substitute for human flesh, and pork is cheap and easy to obtain, so why don't I use pork? But it's a pity that its body is strong, but its intelligence is very low, and even the IQ of a three-year-old child is simply unbearable. And it needs huge amounts of meat to keep itself alive. To avoid suspicion, I abandoned it at night in the wilderness, where there were many bandits who could satisfy its need for meat. And these bandits are becoming more and more ambitious, and they are threatening me, an imperial nobleman, to hand over the town, and I think it's time for them to taste the bitterness. ”

Everyone thought of the legend of the pig monster that circulated in the empire more than 200 years ago, that terrifying monster like Roshan, able to melt the swallowed corpse into his body, no matter how injured he was, as long as there were enough corpses, he could quickly recover, and many villages disappeared because of this. In the end, the Empire dispatched the Magic Legion to eliminate it, but the Magic Legion was also heavily damaged, causing some mages in remote areas to shrink back and rearrange, and the defense of the Empire's frontier dropped a notch.

"After countless summoning rituals, I've summoned too many stupid pigmen... And then there was the disappointing Prince of Pork, all of which were eventually annihilated by the Empire's magical legions. The senseless summoning and the vigilance of the Empire made me abandon my research experiments. However, the failure of the summoning ritual left behind a large amount of minced meat and scraps. There wasn't much to bury around the town, and the meat was inedible after being eroded by dark magic. Eventually, I found a good place to cover up the traces of my experiments. ”

"Sewers. Thanks to the family's predecessors who built the manor when they built a huge and complex sewer to dispose of the garbage and sewage on the estate and the town. I found the sewers under the manor to be the perfect dump spot. So, I threw all the scrap and the few useless pigmen down the drain. In the dark and terrifying sewers, these minced flesh organs gradually coalesced together, slowly forming a terrifying monster. It is unconscious, but instinctively defends its territory and destroys all intruders, which is a great place to keep information. I kept some of my research there, and I was no longer afraid of thieves visiting my manor at night. ”

There is a monster hidden in the sewers of the manor?!All the professionals were very surprised when they received this news, but the truth has been approached step by step, and if you want to break the curse of the crow leader, you must find the information stored by the ancestors in the sewers, and the adventure team has no choice but to set off again.
