Chapter 785: people?

Hao Ren did not expect that he once again saw the name of "King of Blood" not in the manuscript left by the wizard, but in the diary left by ordinary humans. As the data terminal parsed the remaining handwriting on the parchment, something began to clear.

The "Hammerwen" mentioned in the diary is consistent with the famous brand outside the mansion. It is now certain that this person is the owner of the town "Domi" and several surrounding areas. It is a small aristocrat in a remote part of the country. The person who left these parchment did not leave his own name, only to be sure that he was the steward of Hemerwin. What is mentioned in the diary should be the last time before the town changed. From the lines, people can feel the emotional uneasiness of the writer: a series of grotesque events shrouded the town, shadows and turbulence filled with Domir.

The beginning of the incident seemed to be an infectious disease, and the news that Lily heard from the spirit and the text on the parchment recorded the incident. The children in the town have been infected with a strange disease that gradually loses their strength, and the ordinary medicine has no effect. In the dark age of the time, this kind of thing implies the taste of terror, and people will naturally associate it with Witchcraft and cursing go up. The lord here, Hemerin, did not make any disappointment in the face of the spread of rumors. He changed his character and listened to a so-called scholar of unknown origin. This lord not only did not find a way to cure the disease, but instead The action of the trial of the witch was launched, and the action was carried out under the impetus of the foreign "scholar".

There are not many records about the witch. Hao Ren can't infer that it is a normal woman who is framed or a witch who knows magic. Only when the body of the witch is burned, a huge amount of soot is produced, which seems to be quite worthy of attention. Black ash everywhere in the town. If it is a real witch, then the ashes in the town are probably the result of some kind of curse.

The main attention of Hao Ren and Wei Wei'an is still placed on the "scholar", no doubt. He is the wizard who left the "King of Blood" ceremony.

Hao Ren asked Wei Wei'an while reading the text parsed by the data terminal: "Is this kind of thing very common in the past?"

"You mean the wizard and the curse?" Vivian's eyebrows picked, "Almost. Witchcraft, magic. The cursed city and the village, the exorcism and the demon fight each other. There is still a battle in the cracks and I don't know." The ordinary people who are being measured... It is a chaotic era. The demon hunters and the aliens have not completely faded out of the ordinary people's world. The people who died of extinctions can't be more. But the situation in this town is still relatively rare: it is totally Dragged into the time and space, the wizard who launched this magic is strong, and certainly uses some kind of external power such as the door of purgatory. Anyway, an ordinary wizard does not have this ability."

The action in Hao Ren’s hand suddenly stopped: “You said that the power of the door of purgatory trapped the town in this time and space?”

"The beginning of time and space is supposed to be the door to purgatory, but now the door must be closed," Vivienne waved. "Purgatory is very unstable. It is impossible to maintain open for centuries."

Hao Ren snorted and continued to check those documents. The record left by the old butler has this information:

"...I found that the scholar always holds a black book. When he reads those books, his face will show a weird expression. Anyone who is blessed should not reveal the appearance when reading a useful book. ... I asked him about the book, and he was treated coldly. He said that it was a handwritten Bible, but for some religious reasons, he could not let anyone touch it. This is enough to cause me. Be wary: What kind of Bible will reject a person with a conscience to touch? Unless it is the book of the devil...

"...I finally found the opportunity, and glanced at the black geek book he had in his hand. The sullen man quickly discovered my move. His eyes were terrible in an instant, although only for a short while, At that time, he finally took off the sounding shell of 'scholar'. I think I will never forget that one's eyes can be sinister to that extent... that is the eye that will be exchanged for the devil to sell the soul. The glass is so cold and ruthless, his real eyeball must have been hung on the devil's mantelpiece! But the most surprising thing is that the book itself... there is no text, just the part I saw, there is only a blank on the page. Now I can only believe that God used his miracles to shelter a devout servant. The pages of the book must have been filled with sly symbols, but fortunately I can't see them."

The data terminal flashed twice, indicating that there are so many words that can be parsed.

"Is the black geek book mentioned above the one that we found?" Hao Ren wondered with Wei Wei, "We didn't find the words on the magic book disappear."

Vivian shook her head: "It should be another book. The wizard must not have only one spell book. Anyway, the identity of the wizard is confirmed now. I suspect that the plague and witch incidents before the town changed were the masters of this wizard. He seems to have systematically involved everyone in the town in some kind of ceremonies... but based on the information at hand, I can't judge what kind of ritual."

The two rummaged around in the room. But did not find more valuable things. Finally, Hao Ren only collected those parchment papers and returned to the long hall on the first floor with Vivienne.

Soon other people have completed their own exploration and returned to the long hall. After the crowd gathered, Hao Ren told everyone and Wei Wei'an's discovery, and asked other people if there was any result.

"It’s a witch and a wizard. It’s also a curse. I’m not good at dealing with such complicated things,” Lily muttered, pointing to her own eyes. “I saw a lot of ghost shadows walking around here. Go, it seems that they are the servants who worked here. The Haimowen lord you said should be in it, but the shadows are too chaotic, and no one can tell who it is. In addition, I have not found anything related to the wizard. And did not see his shadow: his spirit should not be imprisoned."

"My brother and I found a basement," Nangong raised his tail in May. "The basement is rotten potatoes and barrels, and there are more ash, nothing else."

Duncan and Cassandra shook their heads separately, saying that there was nothing in the towers they were responsible for.

"The wizard must have lived here, but his magic book and casting materials are hidden," Heather Anna held her chin. "This kind of thing is more important than the wizard's life. He can't carry it with him..."

When Heather Anna said halfway, she suddenly stopped. Everyone raised her head in the direction of the stairs on the second floor. In the silence, the first opening of Nangong 38 broke the silence: "Have you heard the movement just now?" ”

Lily’s ears trembled: “Have it heard, it’s like footsteps?”

Duncan and Cassandra immediately stood up, each pulling a fine aristocratic sword and a large caliber pistol from the waist (the armed style of the Heather Anna family), and the two men armed with swords and swords carefully walked up the stairs, but They just walked a few steps, and a large group of dark things suddenly "walked" off the stairs!

It was a weird ashes of darkness, dark as a dirty mud, but with a rough human appearance. This group of black ash body appeared on the stairway and then swayed, then walked down step by step, every step of the way will drop a lot of ash and dust. And as the step closer, the ash group has an incredible change: its appearance peels off and reveals the underlying clothes and skin, and the upper part of the gray ash slowly emerges the contours of the human senses, when it "takes" When I arrived in the long hall, it was almost a complete and clear human figure.

Hao Ren, they were holding their weapons and curiously and watched this strange "thing" all the way, until "it" finally turned into a tired middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man who came out of the ash looked like he was forty years old. The hairstyle and the clothes on his body were all dressed up by the rich in the Middle Ages. When he had just fallen off the ashes, it seemed to be a little bit embarrassing, but soon he suddenly woke up and looked at a group of strangers in front of his eyes.

After a few seconds of squatting, the man suddenly screamed and then turned to the second floor!

Hao Ren immediately reacted: "Catch him!"

A white light rushed up, and Lily licked the bricks that didn't know where to turn it out. When she went up a brick, she collapsed the man. Hao Ren was shocked when he saw this scene. He said that this person came out of the ashes. If the body is really composed of ash, will Lily still not scatter this brick?

Fortunately, the man was just flying out by Lily, but turned over and stood up like nothing else.

Lily decisively went up to three or two to subdue before the other side fled again, and then invited her trophy to return to Hao Ren: "Catch it!"

The mysterious man tied by Lily with a rope looked at Hao Ren with a look: "You... what are you doing?! You are a ghost!"

Hao Ren thought that the other party was the wizard he was looking for, but he could not feel it when he heard this tone. He asked the other person's identity: "Who are you?"

The man shook his neck with fear: "I... I am the lord here, Hemerwin? Ahtisaari..." (to be continued)
