Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Story of the Corpse Hider
"Hello, Duke Eberlock, Mayor of Nighttown. I have bad news for Nightlight. ”
"You know, I'm a creative genius. I deceived the fool who sent you the letter, and though I don't know where you got such a fellow, he is certainly worthy of praise - whether it is the ogre of the Vaugur Mountains or the werewolf of the Sunshine Woods who have become his prey, he has given me a great surprise. ”
"The corpses of ogres and werewolves allowed me to accomplish my most powerful and terrifying creation—demons made of flesh and twisted metal."
"By the time you read this letter, they're on their way, and these demons are happy to wash the night in blood. I'm sure you'll be able to see them soon. ”
"—The Hider, Abel Crombie."
When Elo, whose face changed drastically, handed the letterhead to Leo, he saw it.
After making sure that this was not a prank, Leo became angry, which means that his brother was overshadowed by Abelcrobi's white-haired uncle.
"No wonder I have a sense of danger when I'm in Ogre Mountain and the Sunshine Woods, it turns out that he has been eyeing me for a long time."
Leo even exclaimed, if he insisted on absorbing the corpses of ogres and werewolves at that time, he would definitely be seen by Abelcrobi, and I don't know how many twists and turns it would have caused if something like that happened.
"Lord Duke, don't you have anything to say to me? As far as I know, this self-proclaimed corpse hider, Abel Crombie, must be the physician of Nightlight. ”
Leo looked at Elro, all he needed to know now was what was going on. was tricked by a white-haired uncle but couldn't even figure out what the situation was, what kind of thing is this?
"Let Wells tell you about this, he knows better than me and Althea." Ello turned his gaze to a man and a woman behind him, none other than his two right-hand men in Nightlight, Earl of Wales and Altea.
The Earl of Wales was a middle-aged man with a shrewd and capable face. He didn't shirk when he heard Elro's words, and the count gestured to Leo before speaking.
"Abel Crombie turned out to be a kind alchemist, he was kind, sincere, and proficient in medical techniques, and anyone who had any illness only needed to drink a dose of the potion he had prepared, or he would be cured in a day. Abel was obsessed with his alchemy and had no interest in romance until he was forty-two years old, when a woman named Alyssa appeared in his life. ”
"Alyssa and Abel, who are only twenty years old, are married, they are a sweet newlywed, and while everyone is blessing them, Alyssa is infected with a strange disease."
Abel tried his best to save his wife, and late one night after a week of hard work, Alyssa died in his arms. The next day, the neighbors who came to visit Alyssa saw only her cold corpse and the gray-haired Abel. ”
Leo nodded, but did not speak.
A middle-aged uncle who was obsessed with alchemy in the first half of his life finally found his love, but just when happiness came, something like this happened, which is really a tragedy. Abelcrombie could easily cure other people's illnesses but couldn't save his beloved wife, what was his mood when he saw his wife die in his arms?
It turned out that the middle-aged uncle's white hair actually came from this way. Leo sighed silently, a white head!
Alyssa's relatives, friends and neighbors held a grand funeral for her, but Abel snatched Elisa's body at the last moment and locked herself and Alyssa in the room without anyone to be seen. Two days later, Abel's door opened, and everyone was surprised to see Alyssa slowly walking out with Abel's support. ”
The Earl of Wells continued, Leo's eyes widened at the sight. Raising the dead, it is impossible!
As a necromancer who can control the power of death, no one knows the horror of death better than Leo. Let the dead be truly reborn, perhaps only the legendary god can do it, Abel Crombor is more than a mortal, no matter how profound his alchemy is, it is impossible.
Abelcrombie resurrects his wife, Elisa, and this may be the turning point of the whole affair.
"Alyssa, who came back from the dead, could not see the sun or the wind, and often stayed in the house to recuperate, and she had been suffering from loss of appetite, and Abel prescribed her a lot of appetizers, but none of them worked. Soon after, it was discovered that the cemeteries to the south were littered with missing bodies, and the whole town of Night became panicked. ”
Hearing this, Leo's face changed, and a vague thought appeared in his heart.
"Until one day, Alyssa was found in the cemetery, and she was munching on a corpse with relish."
Ghoul!
The conjecture was confirmed, and Leo's face darkened.
Whether it is medicine or alchemy, it is impossible to bring the dead back to life. Although Leo does not know what method Abel Crombie used, there is no doubt that the so-called resurrection is nothing more than turning Alyssa into a corpse that can move and have consciousness. Perhaps in the eyes of the white-haired uncle, it doesn't matter what his wife becomes, but in the eyes of others, ghouls who feed on human flesh are absolutely not allowed.
Leo waved his hand to the Earl of Wells, signaling that he understood.
What happened next was not difficult to think of, the townspeople who discovered the ghoul would definitely not allow this alien to exist, and Alyssa died at their hands. That's when the seeds of hatred were planted in Abelcrombie's heart.
Love, something that makes people crazy. It can turn the prodigal son back, and it can also turn the good man into a demon. Obviously, Abelcrombie's case falls into the latter category.
It's really a tragic story, I thought that sweet love had come to me, but in the end it was such an ending. The god of fate played Abel Crombi hard.
If Abel Crombie hadn't resurrected Alyssa, the middle-aged uncle might have been sad, but he would never have been hurt so badly. I really don't know how Abel Crombie is in the face of Alyssa, who has become a ghoul.
It is better to gain and lose than to lose in the first place, at least then the person will not be hurt more deeply.
Silently sighing at what happened to the white-haired uncle, Leo turned his gaze to Ellro: "Duke Eberlock, what are you going to do now?" ”
El Luo's expression was solemn, and the old duke's face was full of worry: "Abel is aware of the defensive strength of Night Town, since he dares to say that Night Town is bloody, then he must be sure to do it." ”
After listening to El Luo's words, everyone present knew the form of Yan Jun, as the former physician of Night Town, Abu Crombie was very clear about the town's defensive strength, and he was not sure that he would never be able to threaten revenge so blatantly.
