Chapter 171 Ghosts

"How far is it?" the green-haired woman flicked her long hair, holding her magic wand in one hand and wiping the sweat from her forehead with the other.

She is Bi Li, the strength of an entry-level magic apprentice, and she is good at some small magic in plant manipulation.

"It should be soon!" On the other side was Joaquin, dressed in a red dress.

"It's about three hours away!" said Locke, who was holding the map and thinking about it for a while, and among these people, Locke could read the crude map drawn by the locals.

Holding Angelina with one hand, Locke and the others walked in the dense jungle.

The place used to be a large road, but because it was inaccessible, it had not been cleared of weeds and trees for ten years, and the forests on both sides of the road spread over and obscured the original passage.

They have to forge a new path.

On the other side, low-level squires Bob and Chris walked on either side of the team, this forest is so thin with magic that demonic creatures are almost impossible to haunt here, all they need to do is make sure that there are no ordinary beasts or insects and snakes.

The carriage was parked outside the woods, where it remained with the driver and the guide.

In this kind of steep terrain, several female magicians walked the hardest, Angelina had already cut her ankle twice by the weeds, if it weren't for Angelina's shyness, Locke would have wanted to walk directly on her back.

Joaquin was very arrogant, walking in the front with a few knights, not caring about the mosquitoes and jagged leaves of the jungle. The woman had two blood marks on her arm, which had been accidentally scratched by a branch.

Dani, Bili, and the last member, Mina, walked last, and the three of them followed closely behind the group with their magic wands.

"It's good to have a thoughtful fiancé. Bili looked enviously at Angelina, who had been carried by Locke.

"You can go to Chris, too. Mina smiled, her eyes raised at Chris, who was on the left side of the line.

Chris likes that Bili is not a secret in their small circle, but Bili has always had no feelings for this man who is attentive to him.

"He, forget it!" Bi Li shook her head, she admired the kind of man who was responsible and accomplished, Chris was a noble knight, although he was full of elegance and gentlemanly atmosphere, but it did not meet Bi Li's heart.

It wasn't until noon that an abandoned manor finally appeared in front of a few people.

"It's here!" Joaquin gasped as he leaned against the tree next to him, the high-intensity exercise was too painful for them to write magicians, especially female magicians.

Putting down Angelina, who was on his back, Locke glanced at the situation in front of him.

Broken pillars, ruins and dust,

"Let's go in and see!" Joaquin took the lead.

Fire magic is second only to light magic in its lethality to ghosts, and Joaquin has this confidence.

Locke and the others followed, and the three knights protected the five magicians in the middle.

"We should be the most luxurious team. Chris laughed and said that there were more knights than magicians in other teams, but the opposite was true in their team.

Although we all know that the task of this trip is relatively easy, no one takes it lightly.

Walking into the manor, a gust of wind came, and the sun was still shining outside, but the temperature in Mengqi Villa was ridiculously low.

"Be careful. Qiao Jin's face was slightly pale, and the strength of those two ghosts seemed to be a little stronger than imagined.

The crowd moved to the interior of the villa.

"Sassafras!" the sound of a broken branch caught Locke's attention, and he turned around to look over, but it was Bob who had accidentally stepped on it.

This is a small mountain village, and standing in the middle of the ruins, you can see the four boundaries of the mountain village.

There are only about 10 dilapidated houses in the surrounding area, and the rest have been reduced to ruins by the erosion of wind, sand and time.

"Search one by one!" At this time, it is the most stupid choice to search by dividing people, and it is the safest decision to march in a group.

Pushing open a broken door covered in cobwebs, Locke walked in first.

Holding a long sword in one hand and raising one arm slightly, he protected his head with an arm shield.

There was only a bed and a few chairs in the room, there was no extra clutter, some glass porcelain pieces were scattered on the ground, and boots stepped on it, making a "creaking, creaking" sound.

Angelina and Dani each held a crystal ball and began to search from both sides of the room, Joaquin raised his magic wand, a faint blush emitted from the top of the magic wand, and a prepared magic shot was ready to be launched.

When Angelina and Dani finished searching, the crystal ball didn't show up at all.

Angelina shook her head at the crowd, and everyone slowly exited the room.

Loaned from the Wizards' Branch of the Royal Academy in Princeton, the crystal ball is valuable and is used to scan nearby fluctuations in magical elements, making it extremely useful for finding ethereal creatures like ghosts.

Since there are no xenomorphic magic fluctuations, it means that this room is "clean".

"Go to the next room. Joaquin put away the magic prepared in his wand and said to everyone.

As the others walked out, Locke stumbled upon a strange color on one of the walls of the room, and when he walked in, it looked like a parchment-like piece of paper.

"Boom" was lifted, and there was nothing behind the wall.

Shake off the parchment rolls, and piles of dust fall to the ground.

This is not a parchment scroll, but an oil painting, which Locke has seen many times in the school building of the Knight's Perseverance Academy, where there are portraits of all generations of predecessors hanging on the walls, all of whom are officially knightly and above.

Because of the relationship between the age and the fact that it has not been cleaned up, the pattern on the oil painting is not obvious, and it can be vaguely seen that it is a picture of a green hillside at sunset, and a small red figure sits on the hillside and looks at the sun in the distance.

Although the villain was not clearly drawn, Locke could recognize that it was a little girl.

"Locke, don't you come here yet!" came from outside the door, Joaquin's urging voice came.

"It's coming! it's coming!" Locke casually put down the old oil painting, the reason why he stopped at this oil painting was because the scene under the sunset was very similar to the scenery on the back hill where he went with Locke Sr. when he was a child.

A dusty wooden door was opened again, and there was not a shadow except for scattered smoke and cobwebs.

"Go to the next room!" Joaquin said with a slight squint.

Only two rooms remained.

Locke walked in front, Angelina followed closely behind Locke.

Chris and Bob holding the Miss Orb on the left and on the right.

Gently pushing the door open, a cold aura came from other rooms, and although he hadn't seen what the ghost looked like, Locke's skin tightened, and his hands holding the long sword were slightly forced.

At the moment when the outside light shone into the house, a scream of "Ah~~~!" came, accompanied by a dizzying feeling of dizziness.

At great speed, two gray shadows rushed towards everyone from diagonally above.

The first to react was Joaquin, a magician of this low-level magic apprentice, with good mental power, "Huh, banshee howl?" With a cold snort, Joaquin raised his magic staff, and a fist-sized fireball appeared in the sound of the spell.

The second reaction was Locke, who reacted quickly to sudden attacks because of his perennial presence on the battlefield, and immediately after Joaquin, Locke brandished his long sword and rushed towards the black shadow in front of him.

What the ghost can resist is physical damage, I don't know if it can stop his eagle fighting qi, Locke rotated the fighting qi vortex in his abdomen, and wisps of fighting qi were transported to the palm of his hand through blood and meridians.

Compared with low-level attendants, the difference between a middle-level attendant and a low-level attendant is that the fighting energy in the body can be separated from the body for a short time, unlike the transformation of the fighting qi of a high-level attendant, the middle-level attendant can only attach a meager fighting qi to a weapon or armor.

But that's enough, a weapon with the blessing of Dou Qi not only has a qualitative leap in sharpness, but also can pose a threat to some energy bodies.

In the face of Locke's attack and Joaquin's fireball, the two ghosts met in the air above the room, and after meeting each other, they rushed towards the people behind the two.

How could Joaquin and Locke watch as a fireball was sent out in an instant, and under the traction of Joaquin's powerful spiritual power, it drew an arc in the room and hit the corner of the ghost on the left.

With a painful hiss, the struck ghost noticeably slowed down a few points.

Seeing this, Locke raised his sword and rushed towards the wounded ghost.

Just as Locke approached with his sword raised, the ghost on the right stopped rushing at the people behind him, and instead turned around and charged towards Locke, as if to stop him from harming his companions.
