The Last Apostle Chapter 79: The Ghost of Count Latniss


After walking out of the Holy Land, Du Yuqi felt panicked because of little Paul. I will be able to leave the Arad Continent and go home in four hours, and I immediately feel relaxed all over my body.

At this time, there were also seven or eight big fires burning outside, the flames were blazing and the heat was overwhelming, and there were a large number of fleeing people gathered around.

But at this moment, a monk next to him suddenly came up to him, bowed to Du Yuqi and said:

"My lord, this person has been looking for you all the time, and it seems that there is something urgent, so I brought him here."

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside, revealing a ragged-looking tramp. This guy was about forty years old, and the fur of the sheepskin jacket he was wearing had been worn off a lot. There were several large holes on it, and his hands and feet were red from the cold, and his face was covered with dirt, showing purple-black frostbitten skin.

Such a person can be said to be the most common in Shatley City. Every day, a group of similar guys are frozen to death on the street, and then thrown directly to the wilderness outside to feed the wolves.

The tramp bowed to Du Yuqi, then whispered to Du Yuqi:

"My honorable lord, my name is Mott, and I grew up in the city of Chately. Uh, my family lives not far from the Earl's mansion, because every year the mansion attracts some temporary The handyman who cuts firewood, fetches water, repairs houses and so on will call me, so I have been fortunate enough to meet Earl Latnis several times, and I was very lucky to get a reward from his old man once."

Du Yuqi narrowed her eyes and said impatiently:

"I'm in a hurry, let's get to the point!"

The homeless Mott hurriedly said:

"It's like this, my lord, the Earl's Mansion has suffered a very big accident recently, and it is now in ruins. It is said that no one survived at all, and my family lives not far from there. I was so hungry that I wanted to find something to eat after dark to see if there was anything I could use as firewood to burn, but I didn’t expect to come across it not long after entering, I met it”

Speaking of this, Mott's eyes showed a look of horror, and he said in a low voice:

"I met the ghost of Earl Latniss!"

Du Yuqi's heart suddenly thumped, and he took a cup from the side and poured him a glass of water. Mott took a few sips of the hot water, and the fear in his eyes gradually dissipated. Then said:

"I was almost scared to death at the time, but the count's ghost didn't bother me, but asked me to go to the Minsk Church to find a man named Du Bishop, and give him a few messages, Then he told me about a place where I was paid, and I found a lot of shillings there."

Du Yuqi was stunned, but instead of following the topic, she asked instead:

"Didn't the Bantus set up an ice and snow blockade outside? As far as I know, even a very powerful army was stopped outside this terrible blockade, and you?"

After listening to Du Yuqi's words, Mott immediately said:

"Sir, what you said is absolutely right, but that is already in the past tense. You should have experienced that terrible earthquake, right? It wasn't just the buildings near the church that were destroyed in the earthquake. This blockade has also been affected, and there has been a large-scale collapse.”

"At the same time, those hateful barbarians also suffered heavy casualties during the attack, and they were unable to maintain this line of defense, so now they have retreated to the Dover station west of the church, and have begun to transport a large number of loot to the outside It seems that they have completely given up their evil intentions against the church.”

After listening to Mott's words, Du Yuqi was taken aback for a moment. She didn't expect such a big event to happen outside, so she took two breads for Mott, then went out to inquire, and found that it was indeed what she told him. Same.

At this time, he turned around and came back to ask Mott:

"Earl Latniss wants you to bring me something?"

When Du Yuqi asked this sentence, he seemed to be careless, but in fact he was already very energetic, because he knew very well that the really clever lies are all nine truths and one false, or even all of them. Really, but it's the details that can mislead you into dire abysses.

Mott conveniently said:

"Sir, the Earl said that he wants to meet you, and he can do it in the family mansion in the past. At the same time, he said that you must be suspicious, so I want me to tell you a word: the first three secret treasures are not bad, right? Do you want the fourth and fifth secret treasure?"

Hearing Mott's words, Du Yuqi's pupils shrank instantly. When he made a deal with Earl Latniss, it can be said that there was absolutely no one else present, so this is a secret between the two of them, Mott Telling the key things like the three secret treasures, the possibility of others pretending to be is very small.

He pondered here for a while, then stood up and planned to find his companions to see what they had to say. After all, no matter whether it was Lin, Changxi or Xi, they could be said to be well-informed and able to make extremely useful suggestions. However, after Du Yuqi stood up and walked more than ten meters, he suddenly found that Mott was still following him, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"Is there any words left by that old Latnis?"

The homeless Mott immediately said with a smile on his face:

"Yes, yes, sir, how do you know?"

Du Yuqi excitedly said:

"What else did you say?"

Mott grinned and said:

"He said that after I find you, he will give me a good reward!"

Du Yuqi:

"Okay, I will, but before that, you have to accompany me to meet a few people."

***

After a while, Du Yuqi called all his acquaintances together. Among them, Duize, Mingxi, Changmai, and Xi are the four people who are the best to find, because they live directly in the temple and directly allocated to Du Yuqi to live in the practice house inside.

This is the place where the Minsk Church usually receives foreign guests. The conditions are quite good. Although the room is small, even if you sleep on the oak floor in the room, the environment is better than the refugee tents outside. It's much better, and Lin and FIRE are in another room less than fifteen meters away.

Du Yuqi first explained the situation he was facing in detail, then asked Mott to repeat what he said before, and finally came to ask everyone to distinguish the authenticity. The first person to express his opinion was Lin. Direct way:

"I don't know if there is something wrong with this content, but what is certain is that this homeless Mott is not lying, uh, because of my special status, I have been trained in this area since I was a child, Can accurately tell whether a person is lying or not."

Chang Cai has always been known for being well-informed, this time he told Du Yuqi:

"The domain of the soul is very complicated and mysterious. Necromancers' research in this area is recognized as the deepest in the world of Arad. However, they can only gain power from torturing the soul, but they cannot manipulate the soul to tell lies. It is the soul of a great nobleman like Earl Latnis, who has a very long heritage and a title conferred by the country before his death. This soul can be said to be stronger, and it is almost impossible to control it unless it is self-defeating."

Hearing Chang Mu's words, Du Yuqi's heart became clear. After thinking about it, he took out +11 Kuran's Flame Shadow Sword, pointed at it and said:

"To be honest, although Earl Latnis's reputation is not very good, he is still quite generous. I helped him with some affairs, and he gave me three secret treasures. This weapon is one of them. There are also two secret treasures, which are six large crystals, and an Albert scroll, which seals the sword skills of Xi Lan, one of the Four Sword Masters."

"So, what I mean is that let's go meet him together, firstly to minimize the risk on my own side, and secondly, the fourth secret treasure was mentioned in the words he asked someone to bring, which is obviously It is beneficial, and everyone should not make a trip in vain."

Du Yuqi proposed this, and the rest of the people did not have any objections. After Du Yuqi gave Mott a magic gold coin and let him go, the group set off again overnight to Earl Latnis' mansion.

This time, I was familiar with the road, and the ice and snow blockade had been broken, so the speed of the group was very fast, especially for Du Yuqi, after obtaining the Black Bamboo Bracelet, the improvement of moving speed and jumping ability is really true. It is quite obvious, and it is worth mentioning that FIRE could not make the trip together, because he had repeatedly frostbited his ankle in the battle with the bone prison, and he had to dissolve the accumulated cold in his body before he could heal the wound. It is really difficult to move.

***

About forty minutes later, Du Yuqi and his party came to the residence of Earl Latniss again. Just after they stepped inside, the old Earl Latniss appeared directly. His appearance at this time He kept the formal attire in his lifetime, but his whole body was transparent and bluish, and he had completely turned into a ghost.

However, as the saying goes, people need clothes, and Buddha needs gold clothes. At this time, although the old Earl Latnis is in a ghost state, wearing a tailored suit with a slim line and a sense of line, his figure looks much slender and straight, and he pursues He also pays special attention to details, whether it is the brooch inlaid with jewels, the bow tie embroidered with gold thread, the cufflinks of gemstones, and the exquisite handkerchief in the breast pocket of the suit ~IndoMTL.com~ all make him look like an aristocrat in his bones Take it out.

Because Du Yuqi had already seen the existence of a ghost like Witch Liz before, with such a foreshadowing, the appearance of the old Earl Latnis could not scare him at all. The only concern before was that this was a scam. But now it seems almost impossible.

After the old Earl Latnis saw them, he immediately stood still, bowed slightly and took off his hat, and then said loudly:

"My guest is here, Nero, tell the kitchen that the freshly baked honey pastry can be delivered, and pour a pot of hot milk tea by the way"

Speaking of this, the old Earl Latnis suddenly got stuck, then shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"I'm really sorry, I still haven't been able to adapt to the cruel fact that I'm dead, but without the shackles of that lingering body, I can do a lot of things, at least I can become a ghost It’s good to explain clearly, it’s better than being dead without knowing what to say, I still have to thank you for talking about it.” (To be continued.)
