Chapter 45: Sudden Change
Rick's words didn't come as a surprise.
After seeing the story on the stone wall, everyone has actually guessed it, but it is not broken.
However, it is understandable.
After all, it is a secret mission arranged by the church, where can I talk about it if I meet someone casually?
After most of the day's contact and understanding, everyone also realized that Rick was not as annoying as the inquisitors they had seen before. Although Rick still has some of the stereotypes that are characteristic of church members, his bold and upright personality adds a lot of points to him.
"Rick, we are all believers in the Dusk God, and if you don't say it, we won't force you. ”
Blank said seriously.
Left and right are just a contest between the forces of light and the forces of darkness, and they have little to do with these adventurers.
It's better to sell Rick a favor.
"Thank you, Blank, I don't know what your real purpose is for coming to Erin's Forest, but I want to walk with you if my mission intersects with yours. Rick pleaded.
"This ......"
Blank was a little embarrassed.
The initiator of this adventure is Orlando, and the destination is also discovered by Orlando, and according to his observations along the way, Orlando seems to be a little repulsive to Rick, and Rick is also very wary of Orlando, such two people, I'm afraid it's not suitable to stay in the same team.
Before Orlando nodded, none of them were in a position to accede to Rick's request.
Rick saw the embarrassment of Blank and the others, and didn't care, and continued: "There are many suspected undead creatures in the Forest of Erin now, but there are some discrepancies between them and the church records, so let's call them mutant creatures for the time being. ”
"Mutants?"
Lance asked curiously, it was the first time he had heard the word.
Rick nodded and said, "Yes, undead creatures have their own unique characteristics and attributes, and these evil creatures do not fully possess their characteristics, just like the incomplete bodies of the undead, their strength is not as strong as the undead, but they are just as troublesome." ”
"Necromancy still exists in this world?"
Ike asked.
Rick affirmed: "Actually, necromancy has always existed in the Kstana continent, but they are extremely hidden, but under the blow of our church, the existing necromancy is no longer as strong as it was hundreds of years ago, although there are still some handed down, but it is not a climate." ”
"Knight Rick, let's be honest, what is the purpose of you telling us this?"
Orlando asked suddenly, very unkindly.
Rick snorted coldly and said pointedly, "Of course, I am worried that everyone will encounter an intractable crisis because they don't know enough about the enemy, after all, those heretics will use soul sojourn to confuse others. What if one of us is sojourned, for example, a goblin inhabited by spirits?"
"What do you mean?!"
Orlando asked, suddenly.
"You know what you mean!" said Rick, straightening up and confronting Orlando.
The atmosphere in the cave immediately became tense, and Blanc hurriedly got up and stopped between the two, "Hey, don't be impulsive, let's sit down and talk about something well, what if it's just a misunderstanding?"
However, the two people, who were already a little impulsive, did not listen to his persuasion at all.
If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be used in the cave, the two of them might have to fight again.
"Knight Rick, do you mean I'm soul-inhabited, do you think I'm going to put danger on everyone?"
Orlando asked angrily.
Rick replied, "Isn't it? I can feel the evil smell of you even with my eyes closed, and you can't fool me as a knight of the church." ”
Suo Long frowned and said, "Rick, Orlando is indeed corrupted by dark forces, and we entered here this time to solve this problem, and we also told you before. And, soul dwelling? What is that?"
"Soul sojourn is a very evil spell in necromancy, which can arbitrarily enter the soul of another person into someone's body, and use the dark power to control the inhabitant to achieve their goals. ”
As he spoke, Rick glared at Orlando.
At this glance, Orlando almost burst out and grabbed the shield over Rick's face.
Fortunately, he was pulled by Suo Long behind him.
"Are you slandering! Are the churches using this kind of excuse to deal with people you don't like?"
Orlando said angrily.
"If it's a soul dwelling or not, just try it!" Rick scoffed.
"How do you try?"
Orlando didn't back down at all, and with a clear conscience, he secretly decided that he was bound to expose this guy's false face.
Rick didn't wait, calmly taking out a small silver jug from his leather armor, the flat body of which was carved with delicate and fine patterns, and a red swastika near the spout.
"Holy water?" Lance asked tentatively.
"Yes, holy water. Rick nodded, turned to Orlando and said, "Orlando, do you dare to take a sip?"
As if to prove something, Rick took a sip of his own before handing over the small kettle.
A disdainful smile rose into the corner of Orlando's mouth, and without hesitation, he took the kettle, raised his head and drank it directly, and then casually dropped the kettle on the ground.
"Is it okay now?"
Orlando scoffed, "How else can you prove it?
Rick looked at Orlando, who was unusual, and his thoughts were suddenly a little uncertain.
Could it really be that he was wrong?
It was at this time that a mutation suddenly occurred......
Orlando's handsome face became a little distorted in vain, his originally fair face was covered with black gas, Orlando's eyes were full of frightened looks, and his figure fell down at the same time, and Suo Long, who was standing behind him, failed to hold him for the first time.
"Ah......h
Orlando curled up on the ground, and a cry of pain came out of Orlando's mouth, and just by listening to the voice, he knew that he was suffering some kind of great pain at this time.
"How can this be? No, it shouldn't be like this! Is this ......?"
Rick exclaimed.
Before he finished speaking, Teklin, who was leaning over to check on Orlando's condition, was suddenly shocked by an invisible aura and flew out, and Teklin's short and fat body slammed heavily on the hard cave wall, and made a muffled "bang" sound.
"Teklin, are you alright?"
Blank asked eagerly.
However, Teklin, who had lost his mind with anxiety and anger, could no longer care about himself, and he raised his tomahawk at Rick, who was still dazed, and asked, "Say, what exactly did you do to him?"
"I ......"
Rick was about to explain something, when the mutation changed again.
A thick black gas began to gather around Orlando's body, and Orlando, who was still wailing in pain, suddenly lost his voice, and his body, which was still curled up on the ground, slowly levitated under the black qi.
