Chapter Ninety-Nine: Borrowing Money

The next morning, a light rain began to fall again in the city of Kohima.

Lance was still the same as usual, and it was better to sleep on a rainy day.

"Hey...... Lance, I heard something from Brian yesterday, I wonder if you'd be interested in hearing about it?"

After Ike exercised, he cleaned up and said to Lance, who had woken up but didn't want to get out of bed yet.

Lance didn't really want to drink last night, so he went back to his room early to rest.

Ike, on the other hand, chatted with Brian late in the evening, and both of them were a bit of a drinker, which can be regarded as a common love between the two.

"What's the news? How did you start to learn to bypass the gates?"

Lance opened his eyes and glanced at Ike, asking with a drowsy look.

"There's something about high-level ghouls, and there's some discrepancy between what Brian said and what Libert told us, so I felt compelled to tell you about it. ”

"Oh? ”

When Lance heard Ike's words, he became interested and sat up directly from the bed.

For the past few days, he has been a little puzzled, what is the purpose of the other party, and Libert is very sure to tell them that neither he nor Ike will be in any danger until the other party's purpose is achieved.

But......

How can Libert be sure that no one will be in danger for the time being?

He always felt that Libert was hiding something from them.

Is it the Sword of Sohana?

Or is it the power of the Godhead?

This was the power that made the genius of the Demon and Martial Arts at that time, and Eliface crazy about it.

However, Ike's ensuing words interrupted Lance's thoughts.

Brian told me that he had found in his teacher's codex that there were still high-ranking ghouls more than a hundred years ago, but Libert told us that the last record of high-ranking ghouls was more than 400 years ago, in the time of the Necromancer Idar. ”

"More than a hundred years ago? You mean Liebert was lying?"

"No, I don't think they're lying, Brian's information comes from his teacher's Codex, so the only people who know about it are Brian's teacher, or a handful of bards associated with him. ”

"Oh, that's interesting, what's the connection between the high-level ghouls and the Necronomic Witch King? And the cannibalism in Kohima City was after we left the Irene Forest...... Wait a minute...... Irene Forest?Kohima City...... Time ......"

Lance suddenly seemed to think of something, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "Ike, the cannibalism incident in Kohima City only appeared after the Kingdom army left, and the Kingdom army was only drawn to cooperate with the Church's actions after we left the Irene Forest, so ...... I have a bold assumption that everything that happened in Cohima has a lot to do with what happened to us in the forest of Irene. ”

"Oh, I don't understand the relationship, maybe it's just a coincidence?"

"Of course, there is also the possibility of coincidence, but ...... Ike, let's think about it this way, the witcher family has wiped out all the ghouls they 'think' four hundred years ago, and Mr. Brian's codex has a record of ghouls more than a hundred years ago, what does this mean?"

"This ...... Does this mean that this ghoul recorded by Mr. Brian has been hidden for at least three hundred years?"

"Exactly, then it's been active again recently, so why is that? Think about some of our recent experiences!"

Lance took a detour and didn't say the answer directly.

"You mean the necromancer we encountered in the Forest of Erin, Eliface?"

"It's not just Eliface, I'm afraid it's also related to the resurrection of the Necromancer-Idar. Moreover, high-level ghouls have wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans, and they have special abilities, I am afraid that in the past few hundred years, they have already penetrated into many places, maybe ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey...... Lance, Ike, aren't you up yet? It's me, Brian. ”

Outside the door, Brian's clear, magnetic voice rang out.

Lance and Ike looked at each other, a little helpless.

He lowered his voice and whispered to Ike, "Maybe the minions under the hands of high-level ghouls are not necessarily ghouls, they may also be humans, so before we understand the purpose of the other party, we ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was another knock on the door, and Brian's voice interrupted Lance and Ike's conversation again.

"Are you in the room? I've got something to discuss with you. ”

"Here, wait a minute......"

Lance shouted out the door a little impatiently, and then continued to whisper to Ike: "We must not mention anything to anyone until we understand the purpose of the other party, anything about the Forest of Erin, I suspect that they are for the power of the Godhead in me, as Libert said, until the other party's purpose is achieved, we will not be in danger for the time being......"

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

There was a hurried and impatient knock at the door,

Ike grinned at Lance, signaling for something to say, and come back to it.

Then he went to open the door for Brian.

"Oh...... Am I interrupting your good work? I'm sorry, but it's daytime, so can you let me in?"

Brian probed into the room, saw Lance, who hadn't gotten up yet, and said a little obscenely.

Of course, he was joking.

And Lance just gave him a blank look and didn't say anything.

Brooklyn, who was following him, saw that Lance hadn't gotten up yet, and after smiling at a few people, she went downstairs to the tavern hall.

Seem......

The two of them lived together last night!

"What are you going to do? ”

Ike let Brian into the room and asked casually.

"Haha......"

Brian laughed, looked at Ike and said, "You forgot what you said last night?"

"Uh...... What's the matter?"

Ike was a little baffled.

Did you drink too much last night and promise something you shouldn't have promised?

"You don't remember?"

"I don't remember ......"

Brian said to Icke with a slightly disappointed look on his face, "Hey...... I knew you drank too much last night, but I'm not kidding you. ”

By this time, Lance had already dressed and looked at Brian and Ike with interest.

"What did you say? Don't beat around the bush. ”

Lance said to Brian.

"I ...... I'd like to ask you a favor!"

"What's the matter?" you say. ”

"Hey...... I...... I...... I want to borrow some money from you. ”
