Chapter 5 Return of the Dead
In fact, each magic tide is not only one day. This tide reaches its peak on November 15th, but since the 12th, the power of magic has gradually penetrated from the earth's veins. The entire cycle is about a week, and in the early morning of the 15th, it will suddenly reach its peak with the dazzling meteor shower every seventeen years.
Arrived here on the afternoon of the 9th. For a few days, Marquis Harrison would hold a grand aristocratic banquet every night, but Tang Yi and the three of them basically just went over to meet and left. Despite this, they inevitably met with the fat woman Cherie. Originally, they thought they would inevitably sarcastically, but Cherie's attitude was quite strange. When they saw the three of them, they just subconsciously avoided it. It seemed that they were ridiculed by Tang Yi at Lady Catherine's house that night.
Her self-esteem was very blown. However, her husband, who looked a little more refined, probably understood his wife's disgust towards Mrs. Catherine and Christina. He pointed at him several times when talking to others, probably talking badly to the three of them behind their backs. What was more excessive was that the bald guard in their family looked provocative every time he saw the three of them. Once, he deliberately bumped into Tang Yi, and Tang Yi smeared a large ball of cream in his hand on his shoulder.
However, after all, they were all from Denma. Even if they didn't care about Christina's identity, as a big family like Wein, they would not be confused about Vincent's true identity. The identity of the guard was much lower than that of others. They dared not have any attacks at such a noble party. Even if they were covered with cream, they had to apologize before they could leave. But the expression on their face was really rich.
Christina's identity cannot be ignored by the nobles. Because of her, Tang Yi and Vincent also met Joshua and Prince Rebias. Joshua of the Yvelit family is a tuberculosis who covers his mouth with a handkerchief all day long. This is Christina's rude evaluation of him. He is thin, pale, sick all day long, but his eyes are very kind, and he speaks softly, as if a gust of wind will blow him away.
More than ten people who came here with great enthusiasm now have an amazing position. It is really a pity to be able to take the time to come here to recall that there were only two local people. It really made him sigh. But at the end of the conversation, he looked at Vincent and said casually: "Well, it's His Highness Vincent. Your mother lived in this area back then. I remember there was a small village on the banks of Mingjing Lake. Unfortunately, when the undead army came seventeen years ago, they were all flattened. Cough cough..."
As for Prince Nabias, he is a middle-aged man with a noble body, a little fat and a generous temperament. He first hugged Vincent in civilian costumes: "Haha, Vincent, when you were in the imperial capital a few years ago, I happened to go north and couldn't meet him. Now it seems that he really has the style of your father when he was young. He was dressed as a civilian and met your mother. Haha... Kna. It's been a long time since I saw you, yo. I've grown taller recently..."
Originally, they thought that their identity was exposed inconfidently by the two of them, which made Vincent a little depressed, so the three of them stopped attending the aristocratic party. The three of them wandered around the castle, looking for traces and clues about seventeen years ago. After a few days, they found several small secret passages, which made Christina very excited. After all, she regarded this as a treasure hunt adventure from the beginning.
Once they found a secret slide connecting the upper and lower floors. When they were sliding down from inside, they happened to see the freckled girl Shirley walking around in the corridor. Because they did not make buffering in advance, the three of them fell into a ball on the ground and stared at each other for a long time. Then Shirley also joined their small treasure hunt group. At the same time, the female employer of her land known as the "last witch of the earth" was being entangled by the nobles.
"You don't know that it's better when we were in the imperial capital. Once we left the imperial capital, these guys became unscrupulous. Perhaps because we couldn't protect magic traps around our residences, hum... But we are now studying the traps of the hallucination system. Once they succeed, let them die..." Speaking of those entangled nobles, Shirley looked depressed.
At this moment, the four of them were on the high platform extending out of the castle. There was a stone roof covering the falling snow above. The stone railings formed a crescent-like arc. From here, you can see the camp formed by many tourists on the snow outside the castle. Ignoring that this was a height of more than 20 meters above the ground, Kna and Shirley sat on the wide stone railing, shaking their feet in the air. Shirley was still trying hard to chew a cream bread. She was always hungry.
"The hallucination trap... Are we going to do one, too?" Christina turned around and said.
"I don't understand that, and that's the mental category. Be careful to be cleaned up by the Light God Palace..." Tang Yi smiled and lifted the little girl up from the stone railing, then put it back on the ground in the platform, "Don't do such a dangerous thing."
Seeing Tang Yi's actions, Shirley hurriedly turned inside outside the stone railing. Vincent asked with interest: "Sherley, is Miss Irina really beautiful?"
"Um... it's not." Shirley tried hard to swallow a large ball of bread in her mouth, shook her hand and said, "Every day, I study this and that, like a workaholic, I sleep in a irregular manner, and I'm busy most of the time, because I don't know the time, nor do I know if I have eaten anything. If I don't need to see someone, I will always have two dark circles on my face and my hair is neat, which is because I'm afraid I will be affected in the experiment. If I suddenly have an interview that I can't push, I just need a large ball of ointment on my face and apply it.
It's like painting the wall..."
"No..." Vincent was hit hard.
Shirley turned her head and thought for a while, and said, "...or maybe there are differences in the aesthetic views of the nobles in the imperial capital. The girls in the imperial capital are different from those in the Damma. The girls in the Damma are always beautiful, elegant and calm. The life pace of the imperial capital is very fast, and they are not aristocrats from good families, so they don't have time to take care of them..."
"Oh, big cities. It's different from our small places..." Tang Yi sighed with a smile. Shirley shook her hand and said, "That's not what it means."
Several people joked for a while, remembering that when Shirley came down from the secret passage, she seemed to be exploring something with instruments. Tang Yi asked with interest. Shirley took out a small instrument made of several magic crystals from her arms and said, "I am exploring the breath of the undead. Although it has been seventeen years since then, and the baptism of the holy light, the undead that year was so large that it drove more than four hundred years of resentment. No matter how you say it, you should have some traces, but you haven't found it yet... If you can find something and write a report, you will definitely receive a large scholarship." Speaking of the scholarship, Shirley's eyes were filled with little stars.
Everyone was aspiring explorer, and immediately decided to gather together to study the secrets of the castle, but on the 13th day, apart from adding a few secret passages, there was still nothing about the dead. During the banquet of the nobles in the evening, they left the castle together and went outside to attend another party. The sky was still falling snow. The carriages or tents that came from sightseeing were everywhere on the snow on the lakeside. This camp
In the center of the ground, there is a small square where performers gather, with a large crowd of bonfires and magic lights. People wrapped in thick cotton coats are crowded. The minstrels are singing around the square. The circus tents are cheering like a tide, and the clowns are stepping on huge balls on the road. They perform magic juggling, throwing several fireballs in their hands, and various flavors of snacks are placed around. As long as you have money to make money, there will be no shortage of merchants everywhere.
This camp is built next to the lakeside. Many children are playing and playing by the lake. Looking at the colorful light that has gradually become deeper from the bottom of the lake, but the magic tides are not surging now. This magic light often appears fleeting, and it takes a long time to find it at another bottom.
After asking for a few snacks, several people sat down in front of a stall by the lake. Not far away, the magic light in the castle was almost reaching the sky. It was the time for the banquet to be held, but in any case, the popular and lively atmosphere was more suitable for the appetite of several people. In the afternoon, several people went to see the ruins of Vincent's mother's village, so they were in a little depressed at the moment. No one spoke much while eating. After a while, Shirley frowned and Christina said disgustedly: "It's that stone."
Tang Yi looked back and saw the bald guard of Cheli's family leading the follower to come over with a swagger, looking at this side tightly. After a while, the people sat at the next table. Tang Yi turned around and smiled, "It's for Shirley."
"Hmph." Shirley sniffed, "disgusting."
In the past few days, it is said that the bald man is pursuing Shirley. Once, Tang Yi and others saw him entangled Shirley with their own eyes. However, according to Shirley, Cheri's husband wanted to see Irina, the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital. After being rejected, he did not dare to entangle like those young nobles, so he instructed his hands to pursue the people around Irina.
"I've seen such things. Those people thought they could find Irina's way from me, so I ignored them. But if people still liked each other, I would accept the gifts I gave, and I've accumulated a fortune in the past few years...hehe..."
"So, if we want to see Irina, we can find a way from you?" Tang Yi smiled.
"Of course, in fact, if you want to see her, you don't have to look for me at all." Shirley said with a smile, "With your knowledge, she will definitely meet you, just for the theory that the earth is round!"
"Ah, I won't go to see her! She's not pretty!" Christina said from the side. She was quite repulsive of everything about Irina because the other party stole her name as a witch.
However, Tang Yi was just trying to make a joke, but the other party said seriously, and could not continue. He touched his nose and buried his head in eating. A moment later, a black shadow blocked the fire behind his back. The bald man said in a rough voice: "Hey, sissy, let's fight!"
"Yeah?" Tang Yi turned around in confusion, "Why?"
"For Miss Shirley, you dare to talk to her so intimately!"
"Who are you? Is there any end?" Sherry stood up after slamming the table, "Do you think I don't know the intention of your master? If you come to make trouble again, I will spread his thoughts and see how his fat wife accepts him! It's inexplicable..."
Unexpectedly, Shirley was so angry that she got angry, the bald man whispered a few times: "Miss Shirley..." I couldn't say anything else. At this time, the bald man had already surrounded him, helping him with his mouth in a mess. Tang Yi and Christina stood up angrily, only Vincent was still burying his head to eat. However, after a moment, the bald man was about to speak, Vincent suddenly jumped up, fucked the chair behind him and smashed it hard on the bald man. When the debris flew, Vincent roared in a deep voice.
"Do you guys, let me cleanse me, okay? Plan No. 2!"
The light and shadow are shaking. Always kind
He became extremely fierce at this moment. The feeling of seeing the ruins of the small village this afternoon finally burst out. When he had an attack, the bald man was stunned and did not dare to move. After the banquet when Tang Yi first met Cherie, Tang Yi knew that Cherie was actually not clear about Catherine's secret identity, so he dared to provoke so unscrupulously. As a big family like that, she naturally understood that Vincent's identity. As a big family, she was in Denma, she probably knew that Vincent was the prince, and even if he had no real power, he would not be able to resist such an identity.
And with Vincent's shout, the four of them suddenly started to move.
Vincent pulled Shirley and Christina back and flew back. Then Tang Yi's explosion of magic crystal attacks. At this moment, there were no outsiders in this small area. It was a good time to fight. The moment the explosion sounded, Tang Yi's body suddenly jumped up in mid-air. Then, a light array formed in Christina's hands, urging the power of alchemy to the peak.
"Ax Barreno Om Kath Indha Khanpo..."
A strange spell rang in the air, and Christina's hands suddenly pressed the ground. Suddenly, a wave of movement on the snow was rippling. Before the explosion of smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, the entire land turned into a swamp. Tang Yi raised his left hand in the air, and then a huge lightning thunder and lightning suddenly hit the ground.
The light of the dark blue ground appeared with an explosion, like a divine punishment of the heavenly punishment. After the huge thunder blasted, countless electric currents squeaked and squeaked on the ground below. Then, Tang Yi had already landed on the ground behind Christina. The smoke and dust and water vapor filled the space ahead for a moment, and it was impossible to see what the people inside were like. Vincent ran a few steps, picked up a big stone and threw it in.
This kind of cooperative attack was originally something that Christina's child made. On the way, the three of them discussed for a long time and decided on several cool plans. However, at that time, Tang Yi and Vincent were just planning these things in the mood of playing with the little girl. Unexpectedly, it would be so smooth when they were used. However, when the second stone was smashed in, the bald man's roar suddenly sounded inside, and the stone was bombarded in the air and turned into dust and fell. Vincent smiled and said, "Hey, the last plan is here."
The last solution was to escape. The few people turned around and the soapy light behind them suddenly lit up. The bald man's "rock body" suddenly reached its limit. The air waves rushed through the mud within a radius of several meters, and even his several followers who were ignorant of their lives and flew out together. With a bang, the mud flew like a huge wave. Fortunately, the few people had already run far away and were not affected, but the clothes were inevitably spotted. When they looked back, they saw that the bald man had almost turned into a mud man, standing in a big pit not far away, walking towards this side angrily. Then, the people around him exclaimed.
Behind the bald man, two figures suddenly crawled out of the mud and waving weapons to smash him. Under the mud pit, something seemed to have grabbed his feet. The soapy light shone brightly again. The bald man turned around and punched angrily, then stretched out his feet to kick the things under the mud. After a few "snapping" sounds, some things flew out and fell into the mud behind. Tang Yi and others looked at each other in confusion: "There is no ambush, what is that..."
This doubt only turned into surprise after a moment. Countless sounds of smoking in the onlookers were heard from the crowd. In the black mud, countless black corpses were mixed with. The figure that attacked the bald man and was shattered by him just now was actually a human body made up of two skeletons!
That night, Tang Yi saw the ghost.
What happened by the lake in the evening caused riots and panic. It was not surprising that the dead were dug out near Quinn Fort. After all, there were many mass pits here a long time ago. More than 400 years ago, this place became the most tragic battlefield several times, and countless people were buried alive and killed. However, when the corpses gathered into objects that could move, everything was no longer simply "digging out the corpses". After seventeen years, has the necromancer arrived again? Quinn Fort fell into a sleepless night.
If it weren't for the special identities of Christina and Vincent, the four of them would have been the subject of torture tonight. Now, naturally, they just confirmed that the matter had nothing to do with them and stopped asking. There were countless discussions about this matter all night, and Tang Yi also analyzed the meaning of this matter in his mind. So at night, he woke up several times, at midnight.
There was no moonlight in the night sky that was still snowing. Due to the obstruction of glazed tiles, there was only a layer of gray light in the room. When he woke up again, he sighed and turned around to continue his sleep. However, just as he closed his eyes, he saw a figure appearing in the corner of the wall.
I opened my eyes again. There were two faint influences. One was sitting on the chair and the other was leaning against the wall behind. Both of them were very young. The temperament of the wall was cold and arrogant. There was a strange and tough pattern on my face. I saw it there, but I couldn't remember it for a while. The man sitting on the chair had a faint smile on his face, but his face was a little childish, and his face was baby-faced.
When the baby face formed a signal in Tang Yi's mind and reacted, he almost started to scream in a low voice after a moment.
Chapter completed!
