Chapter 420
The first attempt at Power of Faith made Donald feel the particularity of this power, and he was more attentive to the study of the ancient books of the demigods.
Similarly, Donald inevitably began to look forward to the cave where Claremont had told him about the ancient book of the demigods, and the gigantic corpse of a treant.
Claremont said he found the ancient book, apart from this, and found nothing.
Donald believed what he said, but that didn’t mean there really wasn’t anything else in that place.
You must know that Claremont was an ordinary person when he discovered the ancient book of demigods, and some special objects within the cave, in Donald’s view, were not at all sensed by Claremont at that time, such as that If a treant corpse is really a demigod, its corpse itself is an extremely valuable resource.
“This is where we are now, where Claremont found the ancient tome of the demigods…Wailing Woods.”
Donald has a strong memory. Okay, so he still remembers a conversation he had with Delia about some special places in the outback in Demingham’s spare time.
It is rumored that every night in the Howling Forest, there will be strange crying in the depths of the woodland. Some people say that they have seen evil monsters in it, and some people say that it is the elves in the forest who are dying for the withering of the trees. Sadness, there are always many legends, but the authenticity cannot be guaranteed.
“It took us almost a month to get here from Demingham, and from here to Howling Woods, we had to pass Reynath and then take the train… no, this is The train line on the side goes directly around the side of Howling Forest, and there is no stop in the middle, what should I do?”
Stephanie sat next to Donald, and slowly traced her fingers along the route map. In the past, the symbol of Howling Forest was a pair of eyes dripping with tears, and the black line representing the train line went around it, without any stops in the middle, and directly connected to the next city, Badak. .
“It’s normal. There are no people living in places like Howling Forest, and normal people would get off there.”
Wailing Forest belongs to Undeveloped areas, surrounded by all kinds of strange rumors, Ryan Empire naturally would not consider spending a lot of money to build a meaningless platform there.
“It doesn’t matter, when the time comes, just jump out of the car. Anyway, we don’t have anything to take with the space ring, even the carriage can be put in.”
According to Donald’s idea, this place is definitely going, no matter what method is used.
“Jumping the train…you’re casually proposing a method that sounds a little unreliable…”
Stephanie covered Sitting in front of the carriage with a face like Donald, his eyes stayed on the receding trees next to him. The three horses in front were very stable under the control of Donald, and some obstacles along the way were also cleaned up by spirit strength early.
“I should be able to reach Renas by noon today, why don’t we cook in the wild, let’s go to the city to eat?”
Donald estimated the distance and glanced The dried fruit in a small plastic tin beside him was almost bottoming out, and when he left Delchimo, he bought it in consideration.
“I have no problem, we don’t have much ingredients, and hunting in this weather is also a hassle…Look, there seems to be someone ahead.”
Ride alone Anthony, who was riding on the horse, had a wider vision than the others. In addition, his vision itself had been strengthened, and he could often see the distant situation first.
“It seems that there are travelers like us, but they don’t seem to choose to go to the city for dinner, maybe the team just came out of Renas City.”
“See you. Is the smoke from cooking over a fire black?”
Looking at Anthony’s gaze, Donald saw a cloud of black smoke, which was naturally impossible for ordinary firewood to burn. After thinking about it, he said,
“Someone should be burning something, black smoke… It’s not like the behavior of farmers burning straw to enrich the soil.”
The left palm stretched out flat, and the spirit strength swept across the space ring, and a monocular telescope immediately appeared in Donald’s hand.
Relying on the tool, Donald immediately saw the details over there.
A group of people are surrounding a tree that is lit… no, it’s not a tree.
A man bound to a cross!
“They’re burning people!”
Anthony spoke out about the situation ahead of Donald, and immediately clamped his legs on the horse’s belly to speed up.
“Burning people?”
The word sounded a little awkward, and Stephanie didn’t respond for a while.
“It should be the stake, but if I remember correctly, Renas should be a city in a non-religious area. They do it too?”
In some religious cultures, Burning is specially used to deal with some evil beings, such as vampire, ghoul or some black wizards.
On the one hand, religious people generally believe that flames naturally suppress these evil guys and can prevent them from escaping in the middle of the torture. Use some secret technique to keep your soul alive and continue to harm others.
It is precisely because the soul is involved that burning at the stake is classified as an extremely severe punishment in many places.
In Ryan Empire, most of the time, the burning of the stake only occurs in the religious area, and it is rarely used in the non-religious area. Ordinary person does not have this qualification.
It’s no wonder Anthony has this kind of reaction when this happens around the city of Renas.
Swinging the whip, the carrier sped up to keep up with Anthony.
It wasn’t until he got closer to the fire in front that Donald really saw the people around the stake.
A grey uniform cotton uniform with a rifle on his back and a long sword that looks mass-produced on his waist. These people should be from the same faction.
“Black goat?”
Stephanie’s gaze rested on the epaulettes on these people’s right shoulders, embroidered on the brown background was a black goat’s head, no doubt It is the emblem of their power.
“I don’t remember a religion marked with black goat heads, it’s taboo… What the hell are these people?”
There are quite a few The demon image is half man, half sheep, so no religion would choose this image as a sect emblem.
Renas is a non-religious area, and the emblem of Ryan Empire is a roaring lion, which is obviously not in line with this Montenegro.
putting it that way is only one possibility.
“Private Arms!”
Anthony said solemnly by the side.
The people on the stake have been burned to such a degree that they have obviously been burning for a while, and the people in front of them obviously noticed the approach of Donald’s entire group and turned around to be on guard. shape.
“Who?”
A man with a silver-gray helmet stood up and asked.
“We are travelers passing by here to go to Renas.”
“Where’s the evidence?”
“Do you need any more evidence?”
Anthony pointed to the rut marks on the field in the back, and then said,
“Who are you guys, why are you using the stake at will.”
Because I don’t know the details of the other party, so Anthony deliberately slowed down his tone. They didn’t rush over to cause trouble.
“We are the guards of the Talos family, as for the simply not human…arrest warrant.”
Guard Captain turned his head and looked towards his body The team member next to him, Donald also took advantage of this moment to look back towards Stephanie.
“The Talos family is the ruling family in Reinas City. It is the same as the Garcia family in Demingham. It is best not to conflict with them. If you still want to supply supplies in Reinas Words.”
Taking out a palm-size notebook from the carriage and flipping through the pages, Stephanie replies.
Stephanie has always been the team’s intelligence collector, and although Anthony also fills that role most of the time, she’s learning to be on her own lately, so Donald’s going to collect what they’ll be going through in the future. The task of city intelligence was entrusted to him.
“Since you are going to enter Renas, then keep this arrest warrant. The person above is the criminal we are looking for. He is suspected of stealing, desecrating corpses, and promoting heresy ideas. If found, Report the news immediately, and there will be a reward of 50 pounds.”
Captain did not embarrass the entire group of Donald, holding an arrest warrant in his hand, comparing Donald and Anthony’s faces for a few seconds, and then He stuffed it into the harness of the horse pulling the cart, and finally looked at the stake next to him before leaving.
“50 gold pounds, it’s incredible… This person will not be digging up the graves of the ancestors of the Talos family?”
Donald put the strap on. I took out the arrest warrant and held it in my hand. Just now, Captain Wei said that the prisoner was suspected of stealing and desecrating corpses. According to the law, this crime would be locked up for a few years at most, and this arrest warrant actually offered a reward of 50 gold pounds to find him. Obviously not normal person.
“It doesn’t look like a perverted corpse thief either.”
arrest warrant is a sketch portrait of a man with half-length hair combed back and wearing a right eye Monocle, a chain hanging on the side of his face, his face is a little thin, with two mustaches, not only does he not look like a corpse thief who can desecrate corpses, but he looks like a knowledgeable scholar.
“Donald! Look at that corpse!”
Stephanie grabbed Donald’s arm suddenly and pointed to the burning stake next to it, which had become The existence of coke is actually struggling at this time!
“undying creature?”
Can withstand this kind of fire and continue to move, all Donald can think of is this kind of existence, as if he suddenly realized something, and then said,
“It seems that this person is an undead wizard, no wonder his reward is so high.”
The corpse thief and the undead wizard are two of the difference between Heaven and Earth concept.
“It’s not an undead, it’s very strange…”
Lilo’s voice came to Donald’s mind at this moment, and she didn’t know when, too. has emerged from the carriage.
