Chapter 118 Cemetery
Following the guide of the curse crow, the group quickly walked out of the wall of the Iron Fort. It was almost impossible to pass the gate guarded by the guards on such nights, but Sand just stared at the soldier guarding the gate for a few seconds, and the poor guy unconsciously opened the side door for several people to pass through. Just as he had done to Elsa, it was not difficult for the vampire to hypnotize an unsuspecting ordinary person.
After leaving the city, the road became muddy, and the group quickly deviated from the main road and walked into a forest along a remote path. The woods under the moonlight were quite dim, and the shadows cast by the canopy were like shriveled ghost hands shaking gently with the wind. As people who lived in Iron Fort for a long time, Sand and Louise knew where this path led, and it was the last place for most of the residents of the city, the cemetery. The trees gradually became sparse as everyone advanced. Not far ahead, a large open space appeared in the middle of the woods. On the edge of the open space, there was a broken brick wall to prevent the entry of wild animals. Of course, perhaps because of the age of time and no one repaired it, this brick wall that could have been considered low had lost its function. Through the holes in the wall and the gaps on the upper edge, everyone could see the tombs standing in the wall.
"I remember this place was the former cemetery of the Iron Fort. If the Iron Fort died more than ten years ago, it would probably be buried here. It is one of the achievements of the previous city lord. But the address of the cemetery was changed shortly after Wolf took office. After all, it would be very dangerous to make a cemetery too large. Not to mention anything else, the existence of ghouls alone is not acceptable to ordinary people." Sander said.
"A vampire after all, I know very clearly about this kind of place." Louise said sarcastically.
"Ha, when it comes to corpses, our blood clan has no interest in the cold blood. But I heard that wild dogs often dig bones everywhere to eat." Faced with the mockery of the wolf witch, Sander responded without hesitation.
"You!" Obviously, the vampire's words made Louise very angry, but before the situation further developed, Cheese had already stood between the two.
"Okay, okay, we are not here to see you fight. It's not too late to save any problems before solving them." The mage said in concert.
Of course, the two of them also knew that it was not the time to fight, but because of their bad relationships, they would not miss it as long as they found an opportunity to mock the other party. Although this would not cause any substantial harm to the other party, they just enjoyed it. After the two of them returned to peace, perhaps they felt that it was necessary to clarify the other party's slander, and Sande spoke.
"I am familiar with this place because my senior housekeeper was buried here. That poor guy, I clearly told him that he could build a separate cemetery for him, but he still insisted on burying the body in this ghost place."
"You're talking about the butler with a big beard? I remember the nut bread he made tasted very good," Louise said.
"It's that guy. He still doesn't understand why I never eat the food he cooks until he dies, and I thought I didn't like the food he made. What a poor mortal, his name is... "Sander seemed to recall something. He shook his head gently, as if he was mocking the stupidity of the dead housekeeper, and as if he was remembering something. For these long-lived beings, the life of an ordinary person is too short.
"Okay, everyone, although I am a little interested in this story, I have to say that now is not the time to recall the past. Our enemies are waiting for us in this cemetery. I hope you can face them in the best condition. Because they seem to be more tricky than I expected." With a smile, the curse crow stood in front of the cemetery and said to others.
After hearing his words, Cheese tried to feel the situation in the cemetery. Visually and auditoryly, neither the mage nor the others noticed any abnormalities in the cemetery. However, since the curse crow said so, the mage believed that the enemy must be in the cemetery, but they obviously took some measures to hinder the exploration from the outside to the inside. Since the conventional methods cannot work, Cheese certainly also has some unconventional perception methods.
"Hiss..." The mage obviously saw something, and he took a breath of air. Sand, Louise, and even Jack, who had used their own methods to investigate, did not look very good. The strong magic power in this quiet cemetery should be weighed carefully.
"Okay, if you are mentally prepared, let's go in. It's not good to let others wait for a long time." The face of the crow still had the leisurely look on his face. He turned around and stretched out his hands to open the gate of the cemetery. The already decaying gate collapsed with this light push. With the fall of the gate, the cemetery was not a closed space. The power originally bound in it seemed to have found a pouring mouth and turned into a rotten hurricane and blew out in the face.
"The guest has entered the door, are you welcome this kind of thing? It's really uneducated." Faced with the strong impact, the curse crow just stretched out his left hand, and pointed out a glimmer of light as the ring with small feather wings on his left middle finger, the terrifying storm was counteracted by invisible power, and soon, no new wind was blowing out in the cemetery.
"We have no obligation to welcome the uninvited people." As if in response to the words of the curse crow, a low voice came from the cemetery. This sound was so unpleasant. If there is a sound of nature that will calm the mind in the world, then it must be the sound of a curse from the underworld.
"The evil god sacrifice, the twisted soul, now even the lich appears, this is a great scene. Why do you always encounter such interesting things?" After the cemetery dissipated, the cemetery finally showed its true appearance. There were no less than three teams of twisted knights, and some people who were dressed similarly to the priestess who had been dealt with before cheese. However, the most conspicuous one was the black robe sitting on the throne of the rotten earth deep in the cemetery. The man's body was completely covered by the black robe, and even the face under the hood looked like a ball of darkness, only the two red eyes flashing with chill were so eye-catching.
"Do you know the lich?" asked the man sitting on the throne after hearing the words of the curse crow.
"Ha, you don't know that I know more than this. But what does what I know have to do with you? You're almost dead anyway." Zhua Crow shrugged slightly, and the expression on his face seemed to be talking to his neighbor about the weather today.
"Is that so? Then, why don't you, the one who threatened to kill me, dare to come in?" The Lich sitting on the throne was not angry with the words of the Crow, he just sat there.
"Tsk, have you seen through? Cheese, I have no idea, this guy won't come out." The plan to lead the other party out of the cemetery failed, the curse crow turned his head and looked at the mage and said.
