The man who called himself "Lord" was surrounded by everyone. He sat on a broken chair that could no longer be seen with his neck curled up, with a look of complete fear and vigilance on his face. He subconsciously grabbed himself with his hands.
He looked at Hao Ren and Vivian: "Who are you?"
"We are coming from outside, so don't worry about our specific status," Vivian stood in front of Heimerwin with her arms folded in an imposing manner, looking down at the timid man, "Are you the lord here?
Do you know what happened here?"
"Now that you know that I am a lord, you should be more humble!" Heimerwin tried to control the aura of the nobles and shouted in a higher tone, but soon returned to the uneasy state, "I don't know, what am I?
I didn’t even know you left here! You are not welcome here!”
What he said next basically meant the same thing, that is, this is the lord's mansion, and inexplicable intruders are not welcome. Despite the huge chaos and uneasiness, this man still tried hard to show his noble stance.
Of course, no one on Hao Ren's side would take this trick. When Heimerwin became more and more agitated, Cassandra suddenly put her hand on his shoulder and bowed slightly in an elegant and decent manner: "Please calm down, we people
many."
This vampire with a unique temperament had this habit of always acting like a lady and saying things that were more hooligan than anyone else. Hao Ren had already gotten used to it after only two days of knowing her.
But Heimerwin wasn't used to it yet. He was stunned for a moment. He didn't realize what he meant at first: no one must have dared to talk to him like this before. But after he realized it, the lord realized it later.
The ground exclaimed: "Are you robbers?!"
Cassandra kept an elegant smile and explained in a soft tone: "We are not robbers, but if you don't cooperate, I will indeed kill you."
Everyone: "..."
Regardless of what was wrong with Cassandra's character, her words were effective anyway. Heimerwin finally understood the situation and began to cooperate. He curled up in his chair, although he always inadvertently showed the eccentricity of the old aristocrat when he spoke.
He has a proud attitude, but his behavior does not show any bearing that is consistent with his status. When faced with the questions from Hao Ren and Vivian, he only repeated a few words over and over again: "I don't know... I don't know what happened here.
, I was sleeping up there, you woke me up, where are my servants and butlers?"
"It seems that there is something wrong with his memory." Seeing Heimerwin in such a state, Hao Ren could only mutter helplessly to Vivian. "He didn't even know that the town was over. Is this man's memory stuck in a strange place?"
Before the change happened?”
Vivian nodded slightly, frowned and looked at Heimerwin: "What was the last thing you remembered?"
"I finished checking the warehouse, had a meal in the long hall, and then went back to rest," Heimerwin said, looking up quickly at the center of the long hall and pointing to the long oak table that was completely covered with black ash.
"That's where I eat but why is it so dirty?"
Lily asked: "Isn't it like this before you went to bed?"
"Of course not." Heimerwin puffed up his chest proudly, "This is a beautiful big house. My servants will clean it and make it fit for my identity. But now...my
Where did the servant go?"
"If it's correct, they would have died long ago," Hesiana said casually while fiddling with her vampire whip, "It happened hundreds of years ago. The gate is over there, you can go and take a look for yourself."
Hemerwin looked at Hesiana in confusion, and then was forcefully dragged to the gate of the mansion by Duncan and Cassandra. When he saw the scene outside that had obviously become a ruined town, he was completely stunned.
Then he grabbed his hair hysterically: "Nightmare! Nightmare! Nightmare!"
Hao Ren and the others watched the movement at the door from a distance. Nangong Wuyue poked Sanba's arm with the tip of his tail: "Brother, what do you think is going on with this person?"
"Maybe... it's a kind of ghost," Nangong Sanba was a little unsure, "I've never seen this type of one. It transformed from the ashes and had a real body. Pay attention to the footprints under his feet.
and shadow, which shows that he has weight and substance."
Hesiana looked at the only demon hunter at the scene with a smile, and said in a teasing tone: "Expert, can you analyze the cause?"
"Perhaps the ashes in the secret realm were reorganized into his body under the power of magic. Certain undead rituals can produce similar effects, but unless this soul is subjected to a series of detailed tests, I can't explain how it was formed.
.”
"Excuse me, it's not easy to find someone who can inquire about the situation. You're going to make someone else's soul go to pieces." Hao Ren waved his hand, "And we have no enmity with him. But you said that using undead rituals can produce similar immortality."
Creature...is this 'Lord' transformed into this by consciousness?"
Nangong Sanba raised his head and glanced at Heimerwin, who was following Duncan dejectedly: "The key to the problem is that he seems to know nothing about his own transformation. I first began to suspect that he became like this in order to live forever.
But if he doesn’t know it himself, then this transformation will be meaningless.”
"Maybe he lied," Lily curled her lips. "Maybe he turned the entire town's residents into sacrifices to transform into this immortal state. He is afraid that if he tells it, he will be killed by us for justice."
Under the guidance of Duncan, who was half supporting and half dragging, Heimerwin staggered back to the chair. He grabbed his hair and murmured: "Oh my god...what happened...this cursed
What is going on with this scene..."
Hesiana raised the man's chin with a long whip and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Don't be such a waste. You are still a nobleman. You should calm down at this time. As you can see, this town has been destroyed. Whether you believe it or not,
If you don’t believe it, the town was destroyed at least hundreds of years ago, and all the residents here are missing. They must have died. As for you... Tsk, you probably guessed it yourself, you are also dead, and now
It’s an undead spirit.”
Unexpectedly, Heimerwin didn't react much, or maybe he was over-stimulated and lost the ability to react. He just stared at Hesiana's face blankly, and it took a long time before he said: "Why?"
"Some kind of powerful black magic can only be explained this way," Nangong Sanba said next to him, "We are exorcists hundreds of years from now, probably equivalent to the priests and evil ghost hunters of your time.
We found this exiled town, and you are the only one here who can speak. Do you know who cast a spell on the town?"
"Black magic?" Heimerwin repeated the word blankly, suddenly trembling, as if remembering something terrible, "The devil! It's the devil! I remembered, there is a devil lurking here! I was confused by him,
I was beaten by him... God, what have I done..."
The frightened man began to become hysterical again, and huddled back desperately, as if the devil he was talking about was walking in from the door. Seeing this, Hesiana hit the other man's forehead with a whip, and a dark red blood flowed out.
The curse rune was then printed on the latter's forehead: "Calm down. Is the devil you are talking about a wizard? He is disguised as a scholar and lurking around you?"
"Scholar...scholar!" Heimerwin waved his arms fiercely, "It's him, it's him! That monster who sold his soul to hell, he deceived me, I was deceived, I was..."
"That wizard should be dead," Vivian interrupted. "It is said that he was killed by a demon hunter."
Heimerwin showed a strange look of surprise on his face, and then a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. Hesiana took this opportunity to ask: "Do you know where the wizard is hiding? His black magic laboratory, and his
The magic book, do you know where it is?"
"I know, I know!" Heimerwin jumped up from his chair. "He doesn't live here. He is a lonely guy. He lives in an old house behind the town, not far from here. I will take you there. I will take you there."
You go!"
Heimerwin waved his arms nervously, then strode towards the door, and Hao Ren and the others immediately followed.
Under the leadership of Hemerwin, they left the lord's mansion and continued running toward the end of the town along a path behind the mansion.
Finally, a thick fog blocked everyone.
