Chapter 10 Critical(1/2)
Author: Xianyu Jienan
Yamu went to visit Thorson at his home.
Because he works as a knight instructor in the castle all year round, Thorson's residence is not far from Amu, and he arrived there after just walking for a while.
"No matter what, you'll be fine."
Thorson looked at Yamu who was able to walk on the ground and smiled, looking quite happy.
Amu looked at his state.
Compared to the frail Dahl, Thorson's condition is indeed much more normal.
He is tall, wearing a loose robe, and holding a giant sword in his hand. From the looks of it, he must be continuing to train.
On the surface it doesn't seem like much of a problem.
However, Yamu was still keenly aware of something wrong.
Compared to the past, Thorson's aura seems a little chaotic now, not as stable as in the past.
But it's not too exaggerated.
"Small problem."
Thorson smiled and said: "That place is indeed dangerous, but just for a moment, it doesn't matter much, it just has some impact."
"It will take a few days to recover."
Yamu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he continued to ask, wanting to know more details deep in the dense forest.
"There are many evil spirits in that forest."
Thorson said: "At the beginning, we thought there were only a few at most, but we didn't expect that it was not the case."
Dahl and Thorson did not expect that the dense forest would be so terrifying at first.
Not to mention the terror deep in the jungle, just the number of wraiths is enough to frighten people.
"I killed seven or eight, but there are at least fifty or sixty more inside."
Thorson said: "In terms of strength, he is not too strong. The strongest one is about the same as Dar."
"But there are just too many."
Quantity can cause qualitative change.
To a knight like Thorson, a single wraith is nothing and can be easily killed.
But when this number becomes fifty or sixty, it's a different story.
Fifty or sixty resentful spirits, the weakest of which are knight apprentices, combined together, a knight is no match at all.
Even a powerful knight like Thorson could only run away when faced with this kind of situation.
What's more, deep in the jungle, there are still horrors that are higher than the resentful spirits.
"Besides the resentful spirits, there should be something else in that dense forest."
Thorson said: "I can feel the remaining terror there, and I can't handle it alone."
Listening to Thorson's story, Yamu couldn't help but lower his head in thought.
Through this understanding, he had a rough understanding of the threat level in that dense forest.
The first is the surrounding resentful spirits.
Thorson judged that there were fifty or sixty, and there shouldn't be much difference in this number. To be on the safe side, let's just count him at one hundred.
One hundred wraiths with an average level equivalent to that of a knight's apprentice
I have to say, this number is really terrifying.
In addition to the resentful spirit, deep in the dense forest, there is also an even more terrifying female corpse.
It's a bit troublesome.
Yamu thought in his mind.
"What exactly is the so-called resentful spirit?"
Looking at Thorson, he continued to ask.
In the more than ten years since he came to this world, this was the first time he saw such a strange existence as a resentful spirit.
"have no idea"
Thorson shook his head: "It is rare to see such a thing. No one can tell how it was formed."
"But there are vague rumors that this thing may be related to wizards."
"wizard?"
Yamu's heart moved.
The so-called wizards are some legends and records circulated in the Kingdom of Korola.
Yamu had read some past records of this world, and was surprised to find that in the past hundreds of years, besides the knights, there was another group of people who had mastered extraordinary power.
That group of people was once known as wizards, a group of people who had another kind of power.
Hundreds of years ago, they were active on this land, but then disappeared inexplicably for unknown reasons.
"The resentful spirits are related to wizards?"
He asked subconsciously.
"There's no direct proof, but it's probably the case."
Thorson nodded and said: "The number of times the resentful spirit appears is not too many, but almost every time it appears, it has some connection with the wizard."
If that's the case, that's right.
"That female corpse."
Yamu's face gradually became serious.
If there was something related to wizards in that dense forest, it was most likely the female corpse he had seen before.
The female corpse sealed in the green crystal stone did not look normal at first glance.
Based on the local witch legend, the female corpse is probably a witch.
He considered his words and then told what he knew about the situation without hiding anything.
"If that's the case, then there's some trouble."
Thorson frowned: "Things related to wizards are generally not easy to mess with. It is recommended not to mess with them."
"It's best not to touch if you can."
"What if I just want to go in and take a look?" Yamu's voice then sounded.
Thorson looked at Yamu with some surprise, almost suspecting that he heard wrongly.
Yamu's style in the past has always been steady. He would hide and avoid things like this, but today he wants to take the initiative to look for trouble?
"Then you should make more preparations."
Thorson said: "If you are a knight, it is still possible."
"I'm not a knight, but you are, teacher."
Yamu smiled and said, "I'm your student. Teacher, you won't stop helping me, right?"
"Are you going to let me kill fifty or sixty resentful spirits by myself?"
Thorson couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
After all, this is my own student, so I will definitely help.
Yamu has been studying under him since he was a child, and he is the only child left by his comrades. After more than ten years, he is no different from his own children.
If something happens to him, Thorson will help him no matter what.
But the problem is, this is really unbeatable.
"I remember, teacher, you have a knight guard under your command."
If Yamu has any pointers.
Naturally, there cannot be only a few knight apprentices in such a huge castle.
In fact, in addition to Amu and Dar, Thorson also has a guard composed of knight apprentices, numbering about thirty people.
These thirty knight apprentices are usually stationed in the castle, and they are also the core force used by Count Reagan to suppress all parties.
And this time, if this guard team goes out together and a knight leads thirty knight apprentices to attack, then if nothing else, there should be no problem in suppressing the resentful spirits outside.
"I have no right to mobilize the Guards without Lord Reagan's order."
Thorson shook his head and replied directly: "At least you can't give orders directly."
