"My Lord is above! It's unimaginable! What kind of monster is this! ”

The old priest looked at the corpse in front of him with a shocked expression, and the cavalry around him also looked terrified.

The courtyard is brightly lit at the moment. The Knight of Misty Sunset has completely sealed off the courtyard. Seven bodies were directly recovered. Each corpse was hideous and terrifying, like a demon crawling out of the depths of a grave.

"Mr. Hadna, it's unbelievable that you can defeat such a monster!"

Even though the demons in front of him were dead, the Rivers Knight still clenched the long sword in his hand, as if he was afraid that they would jump again.

The demon has extremely sharp claws and hard skin. One of the horsemen drew his sword and tried to slash it, but the blade struck the demon in the shin and bounced straight up. The tibia was not shattered, but there was a shallow mark. This shows that the seemingly thin demon actually has a good defense.

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Ghouls." Old Tom didn't know much about undead creatures, so Fang Qiuling explained, "They may be fallen creatures, or they may be dead souls crawling out of the grave. ”

"Ghoul ......," the old priest prayed at once, as if this simple term had a terrifying magic, "where did they come from?" Also, they're called ghouls, ......"

Ghouls, when you hear this name, you naturally think of ghosts that eat corpses.

"Where did you come from...... I don't know, I can't know. Ghouls are very good at climbing, and they can even take it from straight walls. As for eating corpses, that's for sure. ”

Fang Qiuling's words caused an exclamation in the surroundings.

Life and death are a kind of opposition. The fear of the living for the dead is also the fear of death for the living, and the hatred of the dead for the living is the retention of the dead for their lost lives.

Because he is dead, he no longer fears death. Undead creatures usually behave as ruthlessly as machines in battle, coupled with extremely terrifying appearances and stench emitted from their bodies, most of the living will show fear when fighting against undead creatures, which in turn affects the performance of strength.

Remember that there was a strategy game where the morale of the undead was always zero. When an undead mob appears on the battlefield, the morale of all creatures is reduced by two.

Fang Qiuling felt that such a setting was very appropriate.

The corpse of a dead ghoul can scare the Misty Cavalry, let alone the common people. You must know that the Foggy Cavalry also dares to fight against the orcs. But when facing the ghouls, who were weaker than the orcs, they were so frightened that they even dropped the weapons in their hands. It has to be said that the undead have a great advantage over humans when it comes to combat.

Seeing the panic around him, Fang Qiuling felt a little helpless.

Fantasy novel lovers are certainly no strangers to ghouls, although ghouls are not described in games, novels, and film and television dramas, they are also frequent miscellaneous soldiers and minions. There are also many ways to deal with ghouls, after all, their combat effectiveness is not strong, but every time they appear, they have an absolute advantage in numbers, so people have the illusion that the ghouls themselves are not very strong.

Really in the real world, Fang Qiuling also saw a ghoul for the first time. Although the fight was clean and neat, and the face did not change, my heart was somewhat fried. But it's not that I'm afraid, but I feel disgusting, and I don't want to get close to the smelly, filthy kind.

"Ghouls look a little scary, but not very powerful. And they are very afraid of fire, and they can be lit by throwing a torch on it. ”

Fang Qiuling felt that it was necessary to let the Wuxi cavalry build up some confidence, at least not to have a great sense of fear of the undead. Otherwise, as soon as you go to the battlefield, your morale will be reduced by two, and you will become deserters, and it will be ugly.

However, his words were ignored by everyone for the time being, because the huge skeleton dug out of the mire attracted everyone's attention. Compared to the ghouls, who only shocked the faces of the people around them, the huge skeleton in front of them stunned everyone.

Most of the stitching monster's upper body and skull have been purified, revealing Sensen's skeleton. However, the lower body of the quagmire is mostly intact, but without the support of negative energy, the carrion has lost most of its toughness and has begun to peel off in large chunks.

"My Lord is on ......"

The old pastor couldn't say a complete sentence, and his body was even more vigorous.

As the quagmire was further cleared, the remains of the stitching monster were all dug up and lay flat in the yard.

"What kind of monster is this!"

Knight Rivers looked cautious. He was conceited and not afraid of ghouls, but the wreckage in front of him was as tall as two stories just for the remainder of the building, and if you added the purified part, it was no problem to be more than three stories tall.

How to deal with such a huge monster?

"Stitching monsters, monsters created by evil wizards out of countless corpses!" Old Tom said in a deep voice, "Charlton, it's not easy to kill this guy!" ”

"Stitch monster, this is an undead monster made by forbidden magic......"

Brother Charlton trembled and took out a few sealed glass bottles from his arms, handed them to the Wuxi cavalry beside him, and gave a few words. The Misty Cavalry, who had taken the bottle, immediately ran towards the wreckage of the Stitching Monster.

Without opening the bottle, Fang Qiuling knew what was in the bottle. The bottle was filled with holy water, and it was not of a low grade.

The cavalry opened the bottle and sprinkled holy water on the remains of the Stitching Monster. The gray carrion seemed to have been poured with strong acid, and immediately boiled.

Fang Qiuling had no interest in purifying the undead, it was like a water fight on the Songkran Festival, what could he see. His gaze naturally turned to the old priest in front of him.

- Brother Charlton?

Fang Qiuling glanced at the old priest a few times when he heard this, and found that it was indeed the old man Charlton. Brother Charlton had seen it several times, and Lakesprings was not very large, and could be encountered casually on the road. Because the light brought by the torches and windproof lamps was relatively dim, and the old priest was wearing a hood, Fang Qiuling had just not been able to recognize it at the first time.

However, it can also be guessed that the ball of light that floated in just now is not a kind of use of illumination. Lakesprings is not the magic capital of Seragher, there are no wizards at the official level, and Lakesprings is not a place rich in magical plants, and few wizards pass by. So casting illumination is either a priest or a paladin.

Paladins are not called tin cans, and full-body metal armor is standard. And I didn't see any guy at the scene who was fully armed, but I had seen a few Wuxi cavalrymen wearing half-body armor. So it was not surprising that the illumination technique was performed by the old priest, Brother Charlton.

With the ability to use illumination in this way, Brother Charlton's true strength should be much higher than his trembling Parkinson's appearance.

Looking at the old pastor's back, Fang Qiuling suddenly remembered another thing. He also had a dagger in his hand, the Dark Dagger, the sacrificial vessel of the ancient god Odus.

Originally, it was planned to exchange this sacrificial vessel for magic crystals, but the exchange found that the transaction object was a deeply hidden necromancer, and the transformation ceremony of the lich was already halfway through, and handing over the dark dagger was undoubtedly a tiger skin. Therefore, Fang Qiuling decisively changed his mind and hid the dagger, instead using the Skeleton Transformation Elixir to complete the transaction.

It seems like a good time to hand over the Darkening Dagger. If you ask where the dagger came from, you can simply push it at the ghoul in front of you, which was found after killing the ghoul. There is no need to explain that this thing was obtained from the mini-boss orc at the time, and there is no need to explain why this kind of thing was kept for so long before it just thought of turning it over to the temple.

After all, the Dark Dagger is a sacrificial weapon of the ancient god Odus, and even if it was obtained by accident, it is still somewhat forbidden. Fang Qiuling felt that it was best to avoid suspicion at this time. In case it is considered by the temple to have ulterior motives and is the source of attracting the undead, it will be very troublesome. Especially Fang Qiuling, a guy who has the name of a Karthus nobleman, but doesn't actually believe in Notos, the god of wind.

What's more, the ancient god Odus had the title of Necrosomatic Monarch before his fall, and it couldn't be more reasonable for the Necrosomatic Monarch to send ghouls and stitchers to attack. What are the plans for coming to Lakespring Town with the sacrificial vessel of the Necromantic Sovereign? Do you want to turn this town into a dead realm, or do you want to summon the Underworld? Most of them are ill-intentioned!

Old Tom and Brother Charlton did not say a word. Most of the content of their communication was praise to Notos, the god of wind, and a warning of praise to the gods for the discovery of such a terrifying undead creature in advance.

Taking advantage of the conversation between the two of them, Fang Qiuling stepped forward.

"Brother Charlton, this is what I found from a ghoul. Feel...... It doesn't feel like an ordinary weapon. ”

The dagger has no sheath, the grip has an obscure dark red pattern, and has a strangely shaped guard, which makes people feel chills in their hearts at the first glance.

"My lord is ......above," Brother Charlton took the dagger, and a strange brilliance erupted in his cloudy eyes, "the sacrificial vessel of the ancient gods." This—this is ......"

The old priest's body trembled even more, as if an epileptic patient had become ill.

Old Tom turned his gaze suspiciously, but said nothing. The shape of the dagger is slightly more peculiar and highly recognizable. He could almost confirm that the ghoul didn't have the dagger on him.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Norn, for finding it...... This is the source of darkness. Brother Charlton, a member of the clergy, apparently recognized the dagger, "Mr. Hadner, Mr. Norne, I'm really sorry, I'm going back to church at once." This dagger is an evil sacrificial weapon, and it must be destroyed immediately. It can't be allowed to wander into the mortal world......"

Old Tom said he didn't care: "It's fine. Old man, you go get busy first. We'll meet again tomorrow. ”

"I'm really tired of Mr. Hadna. Can you send Mr. Norn to come with you tomorrow? ”

"No problem," Fang Qiuling agreed, "I'll come with Mr. Hadner to visit." ”

"Thank you so much, then...... I'll take my leave. ”

Brother Charlton, supported by two accompanying priests, left first.

"Thulick, what's the situation? The dagger? ”

When Brother Charlton was gone, Old Tom asked quietly.

"The other day I killed an orc, the nine-fingered one, on the dock south of the lake. The dagger was found from that guy. Old Tom can undoubtedly be trusted, and the source of the dagger tells him that it doesn't matter, but reservations are necessary, "If I'm not mistaken, that dagger is an evil sacrificial weapon capable of summoning the souls of the dead." ”

Old Tom raised his eyebrows. He knew the orc, whose name seemed to be ...... "Nine-Fingered" X.

The Adventurer's Guild has been hanging the bounty of "Nine-Fingered" X, but the bounty was withdrawn the day before yesterday. It is possible for a human bounty to be canceled, but not for an orc. The only possibility of removal is if the bounty is completed.

"You killed Nine-Fingers? This guy is not easy to deal with. ”

"Sneak attack plus trap, and that guy seems to have a wound ...... on his body" Fang Qiuling revealed his "despicable" methods nonchalantly, "I can't beat it head-to-head." That guy is a sturdy ......."

Speaking of this, Fang Qiuling suddenly felt as if he had overlooked something.

- Why do the undead attack at this time?

Fang Qiuling initially thought that the undead were attacking because they had discovered the Strike of the Bright Light.

The Strike of Light is a magic weapon created by elves, which has an excellent restraint effect on undead creatures, and is known as the "undead nemesis", which is a weapon specially created by the elves to fight against the undead. In the heyday of the Elves' Silver Age, there were as many as a hundred Strikes of Clarity.

However, with the passage of time, most of the Strike of the Light has disappeared into the dust of history, and very few have survived to this day. Most of the vanishing Strikes of Light were destroyed by the undead, especially after the establishment of the Dark Nation of Mamo. Mamo's rulers are disgusted by the Strike of Light and similar magical weapons and artifacts against the undead, and they go to great lengths to collect and destroy them.

However, this Zhanguang Strike in Fang Qiuling's hand was a little different from other Zhanguang Strikes. After the "transformation", the strike of Zhanguang in his hand is a crystal thin sword, and it is difficult to detect that this is the strike of Zhanguang if you don't touch and feel the magic attached to the sword with your own hands.

Moreover, this sword has just arrived this afternoon, and it will only take five to six hours to complete the battle. So quickly locked by Mamo?

The weapon was exposed for a short time, just a few minutes for Old Tom to hold it and fight the orcs. And it was still daytime. The undead are rarely active during the day, as they are afraid of sunlight, or more precisely, the positive energy in the sun. High-level undead are less afraid of sunlight, but are generally reluctant to move around in the sun.

In just a few minutes, again in the sun. Fang Qiuling and Old Tom, who were holding it in their hands, didn't notice the light emitted from the Azul Light Strike, and the undead creatures who didn't know where they were hiding could notice it? Do they dare to confirm that it is the Strike of the Bright Light?

Fang Qiuling's face suddenly changed, and he thought of another possibility.

"Not good! Brother Charlton! ”
