(Can't find the big picture, sorry)
Under the spell of detecting evil, the ghost did not show any abnormalities, which proved that the ghost should not be lying. Jerry also did not find anything unusual. In that case, we could only wait. The female knight asked the spirit some questions, mostly about the living dead or the dead messenger. However, the spirit wasn't very sure. He only knew that the dead messenger was severely injured and recovered very slowly.
About two hours later, Seth suddenly let out a long sigh. His eyes regained focus, but his expression was a little lost. When he turned around and saw his mother's soul, Alice and I pulled the female knight and Jerry away. Seth needed some independent space to face his mother.
We waited for Seth on the hill overlooking the village, but the atmosphere between us was a little heavy. Jerry and I knew why, and so did Alice. Luna wasn't very clear, but we didn't want to say anything, and she didn't ask.
After a while, Seth walked out. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad from his expression.
"Let's go." He came to us and said softly. Then, he walked past us and headed in the direction of Rates.
"Oh right, Miss Luna." Seemingly recalling something, Seth suddenly turned around and asked,""Can you lend me your Tulip Family Knights for a while?”
"What are you doing?" the female knight asked.
"According to my father, this Death Envoy is actually a conspirator, just like the black armored soldier incident some time ago. However, we still don't know what the purpose of this conspiracy is.”Seth explained," I wanted to investigate this matter, but Lina, Alice, and Jerry were not enough. Mercenaries were not a match for the walking dead. So, I thought of the Tulip Family Knights.”
"That's not a problem. Our Tulip Family's Knights exist to eliminate the unstable factors in the country and protect the citizens. This time, we came out to investigate the living dead.”Luna replied seriously.
"But many people might die this time.”Seth reminded.
"But we are the Tulip Knights.”Luna said calmly.
After returning to Lattes, Seth, who had wanted to immediately set off to investigate, had no choice but to wait for a while because the investigation team of the Church of Light was about to arrive. They had already entered the territory of the Duchy. However, Seth didn't want to wait in Rattus. He suggested that the cavalry go over to welcome him. Anyway, Rattus had nothing to do here. If he was " lucky ", he might meet the Death Envoy again.
The cavalry once again set off. Alice and I were still in the carriage, but Jerry was the one driving the carriage. This was because Seth had actually mastered good horsemanship during this period of time. This made me sigh at how powerful he was. But most importantly, every time I saw this fellow riding on a horse, walking side by side with that female knight, and talking to each other, I would subconsciously glare at him fiercely.
Initially, I felt that my reaction was very strange, but by chance, I realized that Alice was the same. I suddenly felt that I wasn't that strange.
"We're almost at the border. Why haven't we met that investigation team yet? Did we miss it?" Bruno sat in the carriage and complained from time to time. A few days later, we kept heading in the direction of the investigation team, but we didn't meet anyone.
"Do you think this is normal?”I asked softly.
" Uh... You mean..." Jerry instantly understood.
"So, didn't you see that the surrounding knights have already entered a state of combat readiness, ready to charge at any time? Thieves? He couldn't even tell.”Alice said disdainfully.
After some thought, I suddenly jumped out of the car and landed in front of Seth."We're almost at the border. The last information we got was that the investigation team was nearby. I think we should investigate nearby.”
"I agree." the female knight said first. Hey, what does it have to do with you?
Seth nodded. The female knight waved her hand, and a few scouts immediately ran in a few directions. Jerry, who was driving the carriage, also joined the scouts. The other knights rested separately, but they maintained a state of being ready to attack at any time.
Not long after, three scouts returned together. One of them reported,""Sir, Mr. Bruno discovered an abnormal situation in front. He ordered the three of us to come back and report. The other brothers are there monitoring with Mr. Bruno.”
"Details." Luna asked the other scout, who replied,""There is a nameless mountain about two kilometers away from here. When we were scouting, there was no problem from afar. However, when we were five hundred meters away from this mountain, we seemed to have entered another world. The sky seemed to be covered by thick black clouds, and the ground was full of scattered bones. The visibility was not high, and we felt very depressed. The surrounding plants were gradually withering, and there were no signs of animal activity, but we could hear the sounds of fighting in the mountains.”
"What do you think?" Luna pointed at the last scout, and the scout said,"From a scout's point of view, I don't think we should enter rashly. This might be a trap. When we left, Mr. Bruno was already prepared to investigate deeply. I believe there will be results soon.”
This long-winded method of reporting was actually a means of verification. The scouts added some code words when answering. Although it had nothing to do with the content, the commander could use these to verify whether the scouts in front of him were impersonated by the enemy. Although this would take some time, it could greatly reduce the chance of being deceived.
Being overly careful was fine even if it happened a thousand times. Being careless and losing one's life once was too much.
"The Darkness Canopy and Illusion Barrier are both high-level Necromagic spells.”I said after hearing the scout's words.
Luna nodded at Seth, and the two of them discussed for a while before deciding that the main group would wait outside the barrier while the elite team went in to take a look. The troops continued to move forward and arrived outside the barrier. We left a captain to lead the troops while we and the other elite knights walked into the barrier.
I don't know how others feel, but I feel like I've come to that village full of vengeful spirits again. The dark canopy in the sky completely cut off my connection with the sunlight. The wails of the dead echoed around me. Everything here seemed to be cursed. Closing my eyes, I cast a " Undead Detection " spell. Even though I was prepared, a " boom " still rang out in my head.
Due to the effect of the spell, a simple map appeared in my mind. With me as the center, the four sides were densely packed with red dots representing the undead. Most of them were harmless ghosts. About 500 meters away from us, on the other side of the mountain, there are even more undead. These undead are definitely dangerous. 400 meters away from us, it seems to be in the belly of the mountain. There is not a single undead there. It seems that someone is blocking the attack of the undead there.
At this moment, Bruno returned. His report confirmed my guess."There is a cave in the north of the mountain. There are less than a hundred people wearing black armor surrounding the cave. I observed them and they should be the walking dead. There was a man wearing a dark brown hooded robe among the walking dead. He seemed to be casting a spell. There was the sound of weapons colliding in the cave. From the Holy Light that erupted from time to time in the cave, I think we found our target.”
"We have less than thirty people now, and the terrain there shouldn't be suitable for cavalry. We don't know how strong those black-armored zombies are, but they should be very strong.”Seth analyzed," But the enemy hasn't discovered us yet. We can launch a sneak attack. The biggest problem now is how to deal the most damage in the first attack.”
"If only I was a Fire Mage.”Alice said with some annoyance.
"I can think of a way, but I need the help of Alice and the scouts.”I told Seth.
"How long will it take?" Seth asked.
"If it's fast, it'll take about twenty minutes.”I replied," During this period of time, I hope the scouts can familiarize themselves with the path up the mountain, because they will bring things up the mountain and then pour these things on the enemy's head.”
"I understand now! Then let's go!" Without waiting for Seth to speak, Alice pulled me out of the illusion barrier. Seeing us come out, the captain who was waiting outside wanted to say something, but I interrupted him."Don't speak yet. Bring all the cooking pots over immediately. Also, you should have big leather bags for horses, right? Bring them all over, quick!"
"Yes, sir!" The captain didn't even think about it and immediately gave an order to his subordinates. Alice and I didn't care about him. Alice began to summon the water elements. Soon, a pure water ball appeared in the air, while I gathered Holy Light. The same light ball also appeared in front of me.
The captain understood what we were going to do. He immediately sent someone to clean the military pot and placed it in front of us. Alice placed the water ball into the pot and continued to make pure water. I then dissolved the water ball into the water. Soon, a pot (indeed a pot) of shimmering holy water appeared.
The captain then instructed the other soldiers to clean the leather bags with a small amount of holy water and then pour the holy water into the leather bags. Twenty minutes later, more than ten leather bags and more than 50 kilograms of holy water were brought back to the illusion barrier.
Seeing the leather bags, everyone naturally knew what they were used for. The scouts each carried a leather bag and carefully climbed up the mountain. When they arrived at the location that they had already explored, they took off the leather bags but did not open them. They wanted to accurately pour the holy water inside the moment the people below attacked.
"Kill!"
They didn't say anything. They launched a surprise attack when we got close to the enemy. Because of this shout, the other party naturally reacted. The person in the dark brown robe seemed to have made a move. About forty living dead turned around and prepared to attack us head-on.
However, this is exactly what we want to see.
