Dulan was not surprised when the ghost brothers and Veron's wraith appeared among the mission targets, but the second target, the headless girl, made Dulan feel an inexplicable chill.
According to Duran's experience in cleaning up cemeteries, any mission target with a question mark on its level is often relatively powerful. For example, the previous evil spirit Arabelle was completely invincible, and only Oak Thorns could restrain it.
"This headless girl doesn't really have a head, right? That's not enough to scare people to death!" Dulan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He felt more and more that the Bone Burial Village was a perfect place to make a horror movie. It was just so eerie.
The forest atmosphere is enough to arouse the audience's emotions.
What's more, Duran is not an outside spectator, but a participant in it.
However, Duran was not too worried. The restrained relationship between Oakthorn and Arabelle allowed Duran to vaguely understand the laws of the powerful existence of the evil land. The Supreme Council asked them, the contractors, to clean up the evil land, and it was definitely not to play with them.
So simple. If the Supreme Council wanted them dead, the mysterious power displayed by the evil contract alone would be enough to make most people unable to resist.
In this case, the Supreme Council will definitely not issue a mission that requires death.
Beron's wraith is at level 19, possessing the peak of Gray Iron's strength. He is only one step away from reaching the Silver level. This made Dulan secretly complain. With his own strength that is not as strong as Gray Iron, he is afraid that he will never be able to defeat him head-on.
He is no match for this guy. As for the low-quality holy water and suet candles in the light green wooden box, I am afraid that they can only restrain the resentful spirit a little at most. In the end, if you want to eliminate this guy, you still have to rely on Duran himself.
What surprised Duran was that, in addition to the green box that Dulan purchased from the evil store, there seemed to be something in the brown box that was there when he first entered.
"Every time a mission is carried out, will the Supreme Council distribute certain supplies?"
Duran opened the brown box with some anticipation.
The next second, his expression suddenly became very exciting.
"Who can tell me what this thing is!?"
Duran couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.
The huge wooden box was empty, except for a small wooden doll lying quietly at the bottom of the wooden box.
The corners of Dulan's mouth twitched slightly. Is today the Children's Day? The supply given by the Supreme Council is actually a doll?
Just roll up the bandage like last time! Duran complained, but still took out the doll. The workmanship of the doll was very rough, and its body was covered with dense talismans.
The doll's face has no expression, only a pair of eyes, which looks cold and heartless. Its mouth is tightly sewn shut, and cold thin threads pass through the puppet's body, giving people a strange feeling.
Slowly, Dulan's expression became serious——
"This is...this is Misato's destiny twin doll?"
The Mizuo people are one of the earliest branches of the Yujin people. The Mizuo people who live on the stone moss plateau are accustomed to building high stone towers. They look at the night sky on summer nights and make predictions by observing the trajectory of the stars and the moon.
Destiny. And the Destiny Twin doll is one of their most famous props.
Dulan learned from the evil contract that once the evil contract is bound to the contractor, the species or treasures that appear in the evil place will be consistent with the original plane. This is why Duran was able to get the terrible gloves by chance before.
Because of this, the supplies given to the contractors by the Supreme Council also came from Feinan Continent.
Anyone else might not understand the function of the little puppet in front of him, but Dulan who woke up is not one of them. The Twin Doll of Destiny is the symbol of the Susan people. According to legend, holding the Twin Doll of Destiny can save a person.
human life.
Dulan couldn't help but use his visual inspection skills:
[Twin Dolls of Destiny]: The most proud work of the Mizu people prophet, the holder will automatically get a chance to save death!
…
Seeing this explanation, Dulan's heart couldn't help but twitch. At first he was ecstatic, but soon the ecstasy turned into deep worry.
Items that can save you from death are naturally very powerful. However, the Supreme Council, which has always been stingy (in Dulan's impression), actually gave such a good thing. Does this mean that this mission will be very difficult?
Dulan couldn't get the answer, so he could only take a deep breath and put the puppet close to his body. If he died in the evil place, then no one would go to the Xishan Pass to save the teacher.
If you die, your dream will never be fulfilled.
"So you can't die. It's very simple, isn't it?"
Dulan smiled mockingly, packed up his equipment, and followed the signs to No. 9 Avenue.
…
The sound of insects is always heard in summer nights, especially in the mountains. Various insects and birds sing loudly, which can easily make people upset. However, all this will not affect the sleep quality of the ogres, at least Baldy Bell
Large nerves are immune to this.
At the northern exit of the Ogre Canyon, there are scattered wooden houses similar to tents - in fact, you can't expect the ogres to be as good at building as the Mizo people or the mountain dwarves. These are based on wood.
With its facade and oil-impregnated tarpaulin as the roof, the house is already the highest achievement of the ogre tribe's architecture.
These houses formed a medium-sized camp. Tall stones were piled around the camp, leaving only a moderately wide passage in the center. The passage could only accommodate one ogre, even if Ironhide wanted to sneak through it.
I'm afraid it's impossible to get into the camp, because there is a blue-skinned night watchman standing at the door of the passage.
Fortunately, Tiepi didn't intend to do this. His voice was rare and loud, as if he had smashed a mirror in the tranquility of the night:
"Hey, Crooked Head, good guy...can I talk to you?"
The blue-skinned ogre looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, but he immediately laughed.
The laughter that tilted his head was rude and low: "Tiepi, you actually dare to come to the north. Aren't you afraid that Bell will skin you?"
Tiepi laughed dryly: "You mean the bald man, how can I, Tiepi, be afraid of him!?"
He tilted his head and glanced at Ironpi in confusion, and said somewhat strangely: "The timid Ironpi actually dares to say that he is not afraid of Bell? If Bell hears this, what do you think will happen?"
Tiepi's legs were shaking, and he held on and said, "If you're not afraid, you're not afraid! There's nothing to say, tilt your head, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Tilting his head said impatiently: "Hurry up and get out of here!"
Tiepi snorted and suddenly lowered his voice: "There is a big deal, are you interested?"
…
"This is Veron's home?"
Duran stood at the corner of No. 9 Street and looked up. It was a two-and-a-half-story building that looked like a residential building, but a strange flag hung diagonally on the attic.
Duran came closer and saw that there was indeed a small wooden sign hanging on the wall outside the wooden house, with the words "Belon House" crookedly written on it.
What made Dulan feel a little strange was that the wooden door on the first floor was actually locked. He tried to push the wooden door several times, but always failed.
Through the dim light on the street corner, Dulan could barely see clearly that there was a small keyhole on the wooden door.
"Is it necessary to invade illegally just by entering?" Dulan shrugged. It might be impossible to enter through the front door. This kind of door lock is very strange, and Duran is not a lockpicking expert.
On Feinan Continent, assassins and thieves are two completely different professions. Although both have extremely high requirements for agility and perception, the direction of their specializations is completely different. Assassins specialize in the art of assassination.
They may have some simple lock-picking skills, but they will be at a loss when it comes to complicated compound locks, and thieves are very familiar with this.
A thief who can't pick a lock is definitely not qualified.
"Huh? What is this?" Just as Duran was hesitating about how to enter outside Veron's house, he suddenly caught sight of something in his peripheral vision.
Dulan knelt down and gently pulled out the thin piece of paper from under the wooden door.
This is a letter.
Dark red blood stains covered two-thirds of the letter paper. The blood stains had long since dried up, and the words on it were blurry, making people shudder when reading them under the dim light.
"The person signing it is... Veron?" Duran put the letter under the light and read it carefully.
