Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 69 It's Snowing

Since the family has been ruined and people have died, and they need to hide incognito in Tibet, then they should do it thoroughly and simply.

If the original surname is "Zhang", don't change the pronunciation to make it "Zhang", make it "Zhao", make it "Qian", make it "Sun", make it "Li" or something, how good! There are so many surnames on the surnames of hundreds of families, you can find any one, you have to get one that is related to your original surname, and it is also homophonic. Is this because I am afraid that the enemy will not be able to find the door, or is it because I am afraid that the enemy will not be able to recognize it if he finds it?

Reversing the first and last names and replacing them with ancient languages means that no one can see it. Is this bullying others for being uneducated, uneducated, or something else?

Belch...... I'm sorry, but I'm really a minority of people who are knowledgeable and literate in Elune. It's all in ancient language, and it's really okay to bully people. Not to mention ordinary people, even wizards, there are many people who are not good at ancient language. Mist Lake is a poor and remote country, not to mention cultured and knowledgeable, and there are few guys who have a little bit of knowledge. Those who can read ancient languages are already considered rare!

"Do you mean, Mr. Norne, Brother Charlton is the last heir of the House of Rice, Pukert Charlton Rice?"

Ms. Moghley thought the world was crazy.

The old monk who is old and has been practicing penance in the temple for decades actually colludes with the undead? Is it even possible to collude with the orcs?

I don't even dare to write a novel like this! The basic logic is gone!

- This is a slander against the Temple, a blatant slander!

Madam Moegre was eager to show her anger, and the two male paladins were equally angry. But the real time in front of them made them have to stay calm.

Not long ago, Fang Qiuling and Old Tom reported Brother Charlton about a sacrificial vessel that might belong to an evil god, and now they have discovered that Brother Charlton's name bears a striking resemblance to the missing heir of the Rice family.

One thing may be a coincidence, but what about two things in a row? Besides, it's a coincidence, and the paladins themselves don't believe it.

"I want to say...... I'm not so sure, can I? ”

To be honest, Fang Qiuling was also a little stunned.

According to the time calculation, Pukelt Charlton Rice had been an adult for some time when the Rice family fell, and was estimated to be more than twenty years old, but probably not more than thirty-five years old. If this guy is really alive at the moment, then he should be between sixty and eighty years old, bad old man.

Less Puckert, a corpse collector, recently met in the "black market" of the underground passageway, made a deal, and was scared half to death. I didn't see the face or anything at all, and the cloak or something was used to hide my identity. I couldn't make out the sound either, because it didn't sound like an older person's voice at all. Of course, the sound can be disguised.

If it is really as speculated, these two identities are actually the same person...... Fang Qiuling said that in fact, it didn't matter, there was no special impact.

The Corpse Collector Les Pukelt is still a necromancer and will soon be transformed into a lich. The living and the dead are incompatible, so he is the enemy. Pukelt Charlton Rice, this guy is a declining nobleman, not friendly, not hostile, not a passer-by who cares about himself.

If the prediction is wrong, they are not the same person, then there is one enemy to face, and that is the corpse collector Les Pukelt. If the prediction is correct, they are indeed the same person, and the opponent is still the same, the corpse collector Les Pukelt. There is no difference. Fang Qiuling didn't have the bad habit of not being able to lift a knife when he saw a nobleman.

If the corpse collector Les Pukelt is indeed the last survivor of the Rice family, who once owned the land of the Ripple River Shoals, then this incident itself is very surprising. There are indeed many people among the nobles who learn about magic, but learning to jump into the pit of the necromancy is definitely rare. There are thousands of magic avenues, why choose the path that makes yourself not a ghost or a ghost.

"Mr. Norn, now is not the time to joke. It's already like this, and you still can't be sure? ”

Through the light of the camp fire, Lady Mogre's serious gaze could be seen, and her temperament became unconsciously solemn. If it were an ordinary person, it was estimated that Ms. Mogree would not even need the spell of lie identification to ask what she wanted. However, Fang Qiuling was not afraid at all.

"Ms. Moghray, I'm not kidding." Fang Qiuling sighed, "I've always been 'suspicious', even if there are more coincidences, it is still possible that it is indeed a coincidence." Right? The main thing is that I don't have any evidence in my hands right now, just speculation based on the pronunciation of the name, which is not evidence at all. At the moment, I did give a sacrificial vessel of the Old Gods to Brother Charlton, and I have undoubtedly encountered the corpse collector Les Pukelt. Other than these two things, everything else is speculation. I can't guarantee that the speculation will be correct, but I think there must be something wrong. There can't be so many coincidences. ”

Lady Mogre was silent, and the two male paladins who had wanted to speak stopped talking.

"Of course, I hope these assumptions are wrong, and they are all my overly nervous thoughts. The best, the best Brother Charlton has nothing to do with it, nothing at all. It's better that he's just getting old, and we haven't finished the process yet, and the divine punishment hasn't come down to destroy the sacrificial vessel. Maybe when we go back, the sacrificial vessel has already been destroyed? ”

"So what now?"

Lily asked.

"Rest well, and then get back to Brother Charlton as soon as possible. It's hard to say, but it's easy to say. Confront Brother Charlton directly and make everything clear, and basically the matter is over. ”

"In case Brother Charlton doesn't cooperate......"

"What reason does Brother Charlton have for not cooperating? The ancient god sacrificial vessel is very troublesome, if you don't make it clear, who can sleep with peace of mind? Fang Qiuling sneered, "And there's another detail, Ms. Mogre, I don't know if you remember." As soon as Brother Charlton had left, my father and I realized that something was not right, so we rushed over immediately. When we arrived, Brother Charlton was the only one left alive. The other two priests died, killed by ghouls. And then you're there. ”

Miss Moghley was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I remember when you had something to do with me and my father, and you escorted Brother Charlton to the temple together. Once we got to the temple, we went to discuss how to rid the orcs. Then we set off the next day. ”

Lady Mogre still nodded slightly, signaling that what Fang Qiuling said was the truth.

"There are only five people who know that I gave the Old God Sacrifice Vessel to Brother Charlton. Daddy, the two priests, and Brother Charlton and me. My dad and I went to clear the orcs, not in Lakesprings. The two pastors died, and they died that day. In other words, my father and I left Lakespring Town, and in the temple, in the entire Lakespring Town, we knew that Brother Charlton had an ancient god sacrifice vessel in his hand, and there was no one in it! ”

"What about her? She doesn't know about it? ”

One of the male paladins pointed at Shino.

"Shino? Shino had drunk and fallen asleep at that time. But even if Shino knew, Shino wouldn't be in Lakesprings the next day, and would follow me to clear the orcs. ”

"What do you mean...... Extinguish? ”

"Yes, I don't rule it out. Or can it be said...... What a coincidence. ”

"What a coincidence...... I don't believe there is such a coincidence! "Miss Moghley said in a deep voice," Mr. Norn. You convinced me. I hope that when you return to Lakesprings, you will be able to participate in the confrontation with Brother Charlton. ”

"Ma'am, I agree with Mr. Norn's speculation. However, speculation is always speculation and cannot be confirmed until it has been confronted. I recommend that Mr. Norn be protected at this stage. ”

The slightly older male paladin was quick to express his opinion. His attitude was impartial, on the one hand, he affirmed Fang Qiuling's speculation, and on the other hand, he also had reservations because there was no evidence.

The other paladin pondered for a long time before speaking, "Ma'am, I have reservations about Mr. Norn's speculation. But whatever the outcome of the confrontation, I am willing to vouch for Mr. Norn. Even if it was a series of coincidences, I think Mr. Norn's actions are worthy of encouragement and encouragement. Mr. Norn is a man of true wisdom. ”

It seems that the current opinions of the three paladins are divided into two camps, and the number of votes is also one to two, and they still tend to have more possibilities for coincidence, but they are also obviously aware that there must be a problem, and the attitude of the other party Qiu Ling has also changed from the initial suspicion to trust.

Elune's legal system is still very primitive. It is estimated that the crime of false accusation has not yet been invented, but there should be measures such as reverse sitting.

reported the high-level of the temple with personal speculation, and in the end it was confirmed that it was a false accusation, and ordinary civilians would definitely not be able to eat and walk around. The aristocracy should be a little better, but if you go to the small black house of the heraldic courtyard and close it for a month, get a fine of thousands of gold coins, adjust the title or something, you basically can't escape. But if there is a paladin who is willing to vouch for it, the punishment or something will definitely be waived.

And based on a complete set of analysis of the current situation, the three paladins themselves realized that there must be a problem in it, and the problem is not small, and the possibility of being a coincidence is extremely low. Even if it was a coincidence, it should have been Brother Charlton who was conducting a self-examination, not blaming the whistleblower, Viscount Norne.

The sacrificial vessels of the Old Gods are very dangerous, and the danger is that they can resonate inadvertently and be activated, causing disaster. As for how it resonates, it is generally a contact with certain items. These items, which resonate with the sacrificial vessels, were considered "contraband" by the clergy. The most common of the "contraband" items is the Divine Power Crystal, followed by the same origin of the sacrifice, and there are various other items that were set at the time of the creation of the sacrificial vessel.

There may not be many other things in the temple, but there are not many "contraband" at all! Mess aside, the beliefs gathered in the temple are the biggest "contraband". The purer the faith, the more likely it is to resonate with the sacrificial vessels, and the beliefs gathered in the temple may not be pure enough, but the sheer number is enough to cause qualitative change.

The sacrificial vessels of the evil gods are sent into the temple by certain means, and then the sacrifices are "hatched" by borrowing the beliefs collected by the temple. After the sacrificial vessel "grows and grows", it controls the sacrificial vessel to engulf the entire temple, and then creates a small area of evil domain. Finally, a large-scale blood sacrifice is carried out, and an attempt is made to summon an evil god to descend into the world. This series of operations is the favorite thing for the evil god priests to do, and every god in the good god camp has had a similar encounter with the temple.

You don't even have to put yourself in their shoes. As long as it is found that a sacrificial vessel of an ancient god has been sent to the temple, it is definitely not destroyed when it is destroyed, and it is not known whether it has been sealed, in this case, a clergyman will be nervous. You must know that the sacrificial vessels of the evil gods need a lot of "nourishment" in the process of "thriving", and the faith gathered in the temple is undoubtedly the "staple food". What are the clergy in the temple? Of course, it's a delicious little "snack"! It's a matter of one's own life, it's impossible not to be nervous, and it's good not to be aggressive.

"Thank you for your understanding and trust." The paladins had already taken the initiative to show their goodwill, so of course Fang Qiuling also needed to say something, "The most Norn Lord, I am also willing to make a contribution to the prosperity and stability of Karthas. This is my responsibility and my obligation. If there is a need for me, please feel free to call me. ”

"No, no. Viscount Norn was too polite. Your knowledge is really very rich, and your insight into things can be said to be extremely thorough. It's an honor to be with you. ”

"Viscount Norn, if you have the chance, please feel free to visit the temple. You are always welcome. ”

"The two of you are really polite. It's also my pleasure......"

Fang Qiuling and the two male paladins complimented each other. Lily quietly looked at Qiu Ling and them with contempt: hypocrisy, hypocritical aristocrats. Miss Moghley sat down again not far from the campfire, staring at the sky almost completely obscured by foliage.

Inadvertently, a few white petals fall from the sky, slowly and melodiously fluttering in the woodland. The white petals are crystal clear and transparent, small and thin.

Ms. Moghley reached out and gently caught the white petals. The petals are so fragile that a slight touch is enough to melt them. Almost in the blink of an eye, the white petals turned into a small puddle of water in her palm.

- It's snowing.

More and more people in the camp noticed the snowflakes fluttering in the woodland, and as time went on, more and more of the snowflakes fell one after another.

"It's snowing......"

Fang Qiuling also stretched out his hand to collect the pieces of crystal. He is a southerner who grew up in a city known as the "magic capital" and rarely sees snow.

"Before you know it, it's winter."

The cold touch didn't make Fang Qiu feel cold, and there seemed to be a raging fire burning in his heart.

"Oh, yes." Old Tom took the last sip of his wine, "It's winter......

Few of Elune's residents enjoy winter because it is not only cold, but also makes it more difficult to obtain food.

"I wish I could get back to town sooner."

"Hmm...... I also want. ”
