184 The Dead of the Past

"Negative energy?!"
As soon as he heard the word, Pastor Angelo immediately ran over.
In many cases, negative energy means the dead, and the priest's duty is to destroy or save the dead.
It would have been very unreasonable for a group of frost wolves to take the initiative to attack heavily armed humans. Wolves are extremely cunning creatures, and if they are not hungry or urgent, they will never take the initiative to attack enemies that they are not sure of defeating.
The vibrant scene of the Sivanan Gorge is clearly not a desolate place where food is scarce, and these frost wolves are fat and strong, and there is no sign of starvation.
So what is the reason for a group of frost wolves, who are not in danger of survival, to attack Gordon and the others like crazy?
That's something to be fun with.
"Sir Polivich, I remember you said before that after the remnants of the bloodline of the Kingdom of Sedin entered the Ancient Road, they fought many fierce battles with their pursuers and went through hardships before finally escaping, right?"
"That's right."
"The battlefield often has a lot of deaths, and it is also a place where obsession and resentment gather. It's not a strange thing to have undead spirits. ”
"I thought that after we entered the ancient path and got rid of the demons, we would be safe for the time being, but I didn't expect to meet the undead." Viscount Angelo smiled bitterly. This priest is no battle maniac like a barbarian. It can be seen from his slightly bulging lower abdomen that he is more accustomed to a comfortable and comfortable life.
After some inspection, Gordon and Viscount Angelo finally determined that these frost wolves were probably infected by negative energy, became delirious, and went crazy, so they attacked them. But pure negative energy will only weaken, sick, and even die of living beings, and will not disturb the spirit. So there's something strange about it.
"Let's take a break, and we'll investigate the origin of these frost wolves in a moment."
"How do you track their footprints? There are no hunters among us. The Barbarian Warrior said.
"You don't have to worry about that, Bernie." Gordon said confidently, and then got busy.
When the others saw that Gordon was so sure, they went to rest in their own way.
The four knights had no choice but to help each other take off their armor and remove the cold liner inside. As for Falia, of course, it was impossible to ask for a man's help, and she and Sheona quietly walked into the forest, and when they reappeared in front of everyone after a while, the fur fabric inside the armor had also been removed.
Gordon glanced at Faria, and suddenly it dawned that she was wearing this silver-gray full-body armor, which was not the equipment used in the duel with herself.
He remembered that he had defeated the other party in a not-so-glorious way that time, and even made the Grand Duke's daughter cry......
Hair removal is a good spell. I don't know if the hair there has grown out now after so long?
Gordon gave a wry smile. It's been a long time since the awkward experience between the two, and in retrospect, he still finds it quite interesting.
His expression happened to be captured by Faria. Although the girl couldn't see through Gordon's inner activities, she always felt that the other party was thinking something bad, and she couldn't help but glare at the mage who wanted to be wrong.
Xie Ona glanced at her friend and then at her brother, always feeling that there was some secret between the two that she didn't know.
Gordon coughed dryly, deciding to finish the business at hand first.
In the past, when Burdisso helped her hunt the Phantom Fox in order to pursue Tracey, he once performed a magic ritual to track the traces of the Phantom Fox. Gordon didn't say anything at the time, but when it came to mastering magical rituals, he was definitely countless times stronger than Burdisso.
Because the ritual is a complex ceremony to create a magical effect, you just need to memorize the process and prepare enough materials. There are no requirements for arcane attainment for those who perform the ritual.
Even a warrior who doesn't know how to spell, or even an ordinary person, can use magical rituals to achieve his own goals.
Of course, the prerequisites for performing magical rituals are not simple. Sometimes, it's more troublesome to find the right scroll or book that records the ritual process and gather all the ritual materials than to learn the spell yourself.
However, for Gordon, who had accumulated a lot of knowledge of magical rituals in "Ancient Era", it was not a problem. In his dimensional bag, there happened to be materials that could perform a magic ritual "Ask Nature".
Through this magical ritual, Gordon was able to communicate with the wandering spirits of the natural world, gaining information about the terrain, plants, veins, bodies of water, and creatures within a five-kilometer radius of his environment.
The various alchemy materials, reagents, herbs, incense, etc., required to perform this ritual add up to more than one hundred and fifty gold coins, which is equivalent to the price of a four-ring spell scroll. So, as long as there is anything to do with magic, there is nothing cheap.
Magical ceremonies not only cost a lot of money, but also take a lot of time to set up. For ordinary people, it is a shortcut to mastering the mystical powers of nature, and for mages, it is an effective addition to their own spell system. If a mage like Gordon who doesn't have much of the spells of the prophecy faction can use the guò magic ritual to replace the role of the spell.
An hour later, the not-so-complicated ritual was finally completed. Gordon knew that certain magical rituals with powerful effects could even last up to a year when they were prepared and performed.
The onlookers just held their breath and silenced as they watched Gordon perform magical rituals with a variety of complex gestures, spells, and movements. An illusory light flashed, and the magical ritual was completed.
"Ready to get out, we crossed the creek and entered the forest, and the wolf's den was not far away."
"Mystic mage......" Bernie pouted, clutching his great axe. Although he didn't think so, he made up his mind in his heart that after he went back, he must warn his brother and younger brother, and when dealing with Gordon, he must pay attention not to offend the other party unintentionally. The mystical power wielded by a mage is more deadly than muscles and blades.
Gordon didn't know that he had inadvertently revealed a hand that had further elevated his status in the scout team. Sheona and Faria, Sir Polivich, who is also a mage, and Viscount Angelo, who knew that Gordon had created an avalanche and helped break through the siege, did not mention it, and the other warriors looked at Gordon with completely different eyes. If most of them were only at Gordon's orders because of Ms. Bishop's orders before, now these people have an intuitive understanding of the young mage's strength, and they have more respect in their words.
Under the guidance of the forest spirits, the ground showed glowing frostwolf footprints. But only Gordon could see the footprints, so he led the way and led the crowd to the wolf's den.
Looking at the dark nest in front of them, with the smell of damp rancidity, no one was interested in getting in. Actually, Gordon didn't plan to get into it either.
The forest is full of black pines as thick as two or three people with trunks as thick as twenty or thirty meters high, dense and dense, and the emerald green needles all year round cover the heads of everyone, separating the sky.
Today's weather is not too good, the clouds are thick, and there is not a single sun in sight, only a sparse light casts through the gaps in the needles, making the forest even darker.
Viscount Angelo used the methods unique to the Platinum Temple to detect the vicinity of the wolf's den in order to find traces of the undead. While others are on their own for the sudden appearance of enemies.
"Brother, look!"
Xie Ona's crisp cry suddenly sounded, and everyone looked in the direction the girl was pointing, just in time to see two phantoms flying through the forest, flashing by.
Gordon's eyes blessed with the "Detect the Undead" spell, clearly catching the two figures that showed a green magical aura. This shows that they are indeed undead.
The other party's degree was very fast, and soon disappeared into the forest, and everyone had no time to track it.
"It should be a ghost-like virtual undead." Pastor Angelo said.
Gordon saw the appearance of the two undead, the one running in front of him, with a pair of mutilated fleshy wings on his back, and looked like a dragonborn when he was alive. A black mist swirls around its body, giving it a ferocious and twisted feeling. The latter one is a tall and stout man, wearing a winged helmet that is no longer in fashion, and the armor on his body is also very old. He wielded a disembodied spear and shield, and seemed to be chasing the undead in front of him.
Gordon told the people what he had seen. Polivich listened, and suddenly trembled with excitement, almost causing the glasses on the bridge of his nose to slip off.
"Commander, I have something for you."
Although Gordon's "Master of the Mages" was only a temporary position appointed by Ms. Bishop, a temporary worker with no pay and no benefits, the other mages acquiesced to the title.
The house mage, who had been immersed in the sea of books all day, trembled and took out a tome from the dimensional bag, turned a few pages, and then pointed to a color picture and said to Gordon: "Commander, this is the restoration map of King Saidin's ** person back then, take a look, is there any similarity with the undead just now?" ”
Gordon took a closer look and nodded: "The wings used for decoration on the helmet are all dragon wings, and the skirt and cuirass are also similar in style. And most obviously, only the kingdom of Sedin would use this oval shield, which is large at the top and small at the bottom. It should be right, that undead should be the warrior of the Kingdom of Sedin who died in the ancient road. ”
"And what is he chasing?" Xie Ona asked.
"Probably the enemy who pursued them in the first place. They were mortal enemies in life, and they turned into undead spirits after death, I am afraid that they are trapped by obsession, and the two sides have continued to fight for nearly a thousand years. ”
After figuring out the origin of the undead, the group reconnoitred the area within a three-kilometer radius and made sure that there were no high-threat creatures, and then sent a message to Ms. Bishop in the rear.
Tonight, the forest is near the camp. (To be continued.) )
