The unfamiliar tall and thin man seemed to ask casually, but it made Hao Ren and Vivian nervous for a moment. The latter controlled his expression with years of concentration, but Hao Ren couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "You
how do you know?!"
At this time, Hao Ren was ready to draw his sword and take five steps with blood splattering - even if there was no sword nearby, he could just pick up a stool. In fact, there was no need for him to be so nervous, it was just that this guy usually
After watching too many blockbuster films, he took on such a mysterious mission from Raven 12345 and put himself into James Bond. He came into contact with this kind of "confidential mission" for the first time with the mentality of a common man with a flat head.
"To say he's not nervous would be a bluff. Hao Ren is currently in a state of complete intimidation. Every upright and panting creature within two hundred meters around him is an imaginary enemy...
However, the strange man in front of him just smiled broadly and pointed at Lily, who was still eating and talking: "Just now, this girl was looking for someone to ask about Yoford, but the Chinese she spoke, except for the waiter here,
No one can understand it except me, so I’m curious as to why you are looking for that place?”
Hao Ren immediately glanced sideways at Lily - the latter was staring at the vegetable salad on the plate, so she didn't see it at all. But it's not surprising that Lily acted so boldly, because Hao Ren and others can now almost confirm that "Yofold" is not
For the place names that exist on the current version of the British map, we can only roughly determine where they are and how far they are from London through the vague information provided by Raven 12345. If you want to find that place, there seems to be nothing you can do except ask the locals.
Method.
It's just that it's a bit hard to understand this idiot who speaks pure Chinese and asks for directions. Does she think that the translation function of the data terminal is shared by the team?
"We are traveling," Vivian had been trying to maintain an elegant eating style. At this time, she stopped to help Hao Ren, "but I don't like those tourist attractions that have been overused. I like
Finding those small places that few people have set foot on is like exploring. We learned about the place name Jofold in a book a while ago, and we happened to have to stay in the UK for a while on our travel route, so we decided to take a detour here.
I took a look. But no one seems to know where this Jofold is exactly?"
Hao Ren secretly gave Vivian a thumbs up: This good-for-nothing vampire has finally worked for once. He lies like this as soon as he opens his mouth, and look at how well he makes it up!
Vivian calmly made a victory gesture under the table: She has been sensible since humans carved cuneiform characters on clay tablets. I dare not say anything else, but she still has some skills in deception.
The strange man looked at Hao Ren and the other two people, but he didn't seem to have any suspicions. He looked astonished: "Oh, tourism, that's true, that place is also a bit famous recently, but you will definitely not be able to find the place name 'Joford'
Arrived."
"Do you know that place?!" Lily's ears suddenly stood up, she raised her head with half a vegetable in her mouth, and almost threw the salad dressing in her face, "You want to go there too?"
"It looks like we can go together," the tall and thin man laughed, "Jofold is the name of that place a long time ago, at least a few hundred years ago. Nowadays, no one remembers this place name, so it is more professional.
You can find it in geography books or reference books, but I don’t know how you saw this name. It used to be the fiefdom of a certain decorated noble, and then it was abandoned for a period of time, and a new small one slowly grew up next to the old fiefdom.
town, that town is called Broussard - if you want to see Jofold, the closest place should be Broussard, which is south of the old site of Jofold. I want to go there too.
"
"I'll go... around like this..." Hao Ren couldn't help but gasped, "How bad can that white-haired witch be? The name of the place hundreds of years ago, and the old site is still abandoned now..."
Vivian also shook her head and complained: "The information is outdated and unreliable."
Hao Ren glared at her: "Shut up if you can only speak Old English from eight or nine hundred years ago."
Vivian immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, and Lily, who was hanging her mouth, raised her head curiously and asked: "Old English? What Old English?" When Vivian lost her chain before, this bastard werewolf was sleepwalking, so
She couldn't remember what happened.
"Eat yours, so many dishes can't stop your mouth." Hao Ren pushed Lily's head back, and then looked at the stranger across the table with a little surprise, "This is really a coincidence, I didn't expect it.
When I met a fellow traveler, I was worried about how to find that place. What did you do in the past? You were also a tourist?"
Hao Ren was really surprised. He thought he might have to spend a whole day tomorrow to find where this "Yofold" was, and he might not be able to find it, but he didn't expect to meet the right one so soon.
I am also going there as a fellow traveler. To be honest, this good luck seems to have fallen from the sky. The coincidence is a bit suspicious.
According to the introduction of the strange man, Joffold is an old noble territory that was abandoned hundreds of years ago. It can be said that it is almost lost in the dust of history. Even the newly built town on the old site is still around.
The south side of Fuld's old site actually has no cultural or historical inheritance relationship with the old site. For such a tortuous clue, you have to slowly inquire through normal methods, or look up information without any goal. You don't know what you will find.
Only when the time comes can we find out, is this person in front of me... really a coincidence?
Hao Ren calmed down from the unexpected surprise at the beginning and became a little more confused about the stranger in front of him. However, he didn't show it this time. He just kept the eager look on his face. The tall and thin man in front of him also looked at it.
With an unsuspecting look, he pointed at himself: "It's because of my job. The nature of my job is quite special. I have to travel around the world a lot, specifically looking for places with history and stories."
Hao Ren's mind twitched: "Are you a tomb robber?"
Then he felt Vivian next to him stamp on his feet with all her strength.
"It's my job..." The tall and thin man seemed to be trying to show off, "Speaking of which, you are going to meet Fuld. Do you know what news has been out recently?"
"What news?" Hao Ren's heart suddenly jumped, because he knew that no matter what news there was, it meant that his mission was about to encounter a trap! He was there to pick up an "abnormal creature", so
The place must not attract attention!
"The most famous thing about Jofold is an abandoned ancient castle, which was left by the old nobles back then. Now it has almost completely collapsed," the tall and thin man said in a mysterious tone, "It should have been like this.
If it continues to be abandoned, it won’t even have value as a tourist attraction. But recently, news suddenly came from the locals, saying that there were strange movements under the ancient castle. At night, some people saw mysterious fires burning over the castle, and some people were wearing knight armor.
Strangers were running in and out of the castle at dusk - in short, some people said that the old nobles and knights in the castle had turned into ghosts and returned, and that the place was haunted... It became more and more famous.
The bigger.”
The tall and thin man conveyed the atmosphere very well. Although his words and sentences were very ordinary, he managed to outline a sinister atmosphere in just a few sentences. However, Hao Ren was always facing werewolves and vampires day and night.
He was not that scared of someone who had changed his mind, but suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be related to his new tenant?
Hao Ren slowly thought about it: If the rumors about the haunting of the ancient castle are not false, then there is a high probability that his new tenant will be... Damn it, can't that white-haired witch give him some normal customers?
Thinking about it carefully, it's really impossible... how could a normal person live in his current home?
"So what is your job?" Hao Ren glanced at the tall and thin man curiously. The other man emphasized that there must be a reason for telling this haunting news, and it should be related to the reason why he came here.
The tall and thin man chuckled, a little embarrassed on his face: "You may think it's ridiculous to say it, but in fact I am a demon hunter, specializing in exorcising ghosts all over the world..."
