Hao Ren did not expect him to see the name "King of Blood" here again not in the manuscript left by the wizard, but in a diary left by ordinary humans. As ASanbaA parsed out the remaining handwriting on the parchment, some things became clear.
The "Hammerwin" mentioned in the diary is consistent with the nameplate outside the mansion. It can now be determined that this person is the owner of this town "Domir" and several surrounding areas, and is a remote place in the countryside. The little nobleman, and the person who left these parchments did not leave his name, only to be sure that he was the housekeeper of Hemerwin. The diaries should all mention what happened in the last period before the town changed, and from the lines of the words, people can feel the unease of the writer's emotions: a series of grotesque events cover the town, and the shadows and turmoil are full of Domir.
The beginning of the matter seemed to be an infectious disease. Lily's news from the spirit body and the text on the parchment recorded this event. The children in the town have been infected with a strange disease that gradually loses their physical strength, and ordinary medicine has no effect-in the dark and shrouded era at that time, this kind of thing implied a horrible taste, and people will naturally treat it Think of witchcraft and curses. The lord Hemerwin did not deal with the spread of rumors in the slightest. He "had changed his personality and believed in a so-called scholar of unknown origin." The lord not only did not find a way to cure the disease, but instead A witch trial was launched. This operation was carried out under the impetus of the foreign "scholar".
There are not many records about witches. Hao Ren has no way to deduce whether it is an ordinary woman who is framed or a witch who understands magic. Only the witch ’s body produced a large amount of soot when it was burned. This seems to be a concern. Can confirm the black and gray everywhere in the town. If it was a real witch, the ashes in the town were probably the result of some kind of curse.
The main focus of Hao Ren and Vivian is still on the "scholar". There is no doubt that he is the wizard who left the "King of Blood Ceremony".
Hao Ren asked Vivian while reading through the text parsed by ASanbaA: "Is this kind of thing very common in those days?"
"Are you talking about wizards and curses?" Vivian raised an eyebrow, "Almost. Witchcraft, magic, cursed cities and villages, open battles between exorcists and demons, and trembling in the cracks. Ordinary people who are at a loss ... It was a chaotic era. Demon Hunter and aliens have not completely faded out of the world of ordinary people. There can be no more people who die from fatalities. However, the situation in this town is still relatively rare: it is dragged in. In the different Space - Time, the wizard who launched this kind of magic is powerful, and must have used some external force-such as the gate of purgatory. Anyway, an ordinary wizard has no such ability. "
The movement in the hand of Hao Ren stopped at once: "You said that the power of the gate of purgatory trapped this town in this Space - Time?"
"The beginning of the distortion of Space - Time should be the gate of purgatory, but now the gate must be closed," Vivian waved his hand. "Purgatory is very unstable and cannot be kept open for centuries."
Hao Ren Oh, and continue to check those documents. The record left by the old butler also has some information:
"... I found that the scholar always held a black book. When he read those books, he would show a strange expression on his face. No one who is blessed should read it when reading a useful book. That look ... I asked him about the book and was treated indifferently. He said it was a hand-written Bible, but for reasons of faith, he could not let anyone touch it. This is enough Caused my vigilance: What kind of Bible would refuse a conscience to touch? Unless that is the devil's scripture ...
"... I finally found a chance and glanced at the black weird book he was holding in his hand. The man in the shadows quickly discovered my move. His eyes were terrible for a moment, although only a short For a moment, but at that time he finally took off the sounding shell of the "scholar". I think I will never forget the degree to which a person's eyes can be vicious ... that are the eyes that will only be exchanged for selling the soul to the devil. , As cold and ruthless as glass, his real eyeball must have been hanging on the devil ’s mantelpiece! But the most strange thing is the book itself ... there is no text, just the part I saw, on the page There is only a blank. Now I can only believe that God used his miracles to shelter a devout servant. The pages of the book must be filled with symbols of blasphemy, but fortunately I cannot see them.
ASanbaA flashes twice, indicating that there are so many words that can be parsed.
"Is the black monster book mentioned above the magic book we found?" Hao Ren murmured to Vivian doubtfully, "We didn't find the text on the magic book disappeared."
Vivian shook his head: "It should be another one. The wizard cannot always have only one spell book. Anyway, the identity of the wizard is now confirmed. I suspect that the plague and witch incidents in this town before the aberration took place. Curated. He seems to have planned all the people in the town into some kind of ceremonies ... but based on the information at hand, I ca n’t tell what kind of rituals are. "
The two rummaged around the room again, but found nothing more valuable. In the end, Hao Ren only collected the parchment and returned to the long hall on the first floor with Vivian.
Soon others completed their own explorations and returned to the long hall. After everyone gathered, Hao Ren told everyone about their findings and Vivian's findings, and asked others if they had any results.
"Witch, wizard and curse, I ’m not good at dealing with such complicated things," Lily mumbled, pointing to his own eyes, "I saw a lot of ghost shadows here Walking around, it looks like all the servants who were working here, the Lord Hemerwin you said should be in it, but the shadows are too messy to tell who is who. In addition, I did not find a wizard I did n’t see his shadow about anything: his spirit should not be imprisoned. "
"My brother and I found a basement," Nangong Wuyue raised his tail. "The basement is full of rotten potatoes and wine barrels, and more ash, nothing else."
Duncan and Kassandra shook their heads separately, indicating that there was nothing in the towers on either side of their responsibility.
"The wizard must have lived here, but where his magic books and casting materials are hidden," Heather Anna pinched her chin. "This kind of thing is more important than the wizard ’s life. ... "
Heather Anna stopped abruptly after half of her words. Everyone looked up in the direction of the stairs on the second floor. In silence, the first opening of Nangong March 8 broke the silence: "You just heard the noise Is it done? "
Lily's ears tremble: "Hear, it seems like footsteps?"
Duncan and Kassandra immediately stood up, each drawing an exquisite noble bayonet and a large caliber pistol (armed style of the Heather Anna family) from their waists. The stairs, but they just walked a few steps, and a large group of dark things suddenly "walked" down the stairs!
It was a weird mass of ashes, dark like a mess of dirt, but with a roughly human appearance. This group of human bodies formed of black ash appeared on the stairs and shook, and then walked awkwardly step by step, each step will drop a lot of ash and dust. As we approached step by step, an incredible change took place on this gray group: after its appearance fell off, the clothes and skin below were exposed, and the upper half of the gray group slowly emerged the outline of human features, when "it" walked When I arrived in the long hall, it was almost a complete and clear figure.
Hao Ren They curiously and alertly watched this strange "thing" along their arms, until "It" finally turned into a tired middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man who walked out of the gray looks forty years old. His hairstyle and clothing are all dressed up by rich medieval people. He seemed to be in a trance when he first fell off his ashes, but soon he was awake and looked at the group of strangers in front of him with dumbfounded eyes.
After stunned for a few seconds, the man suddenly screamed, and then turned his head and ran towards the second floor!
Hao Ren immediately reacted: "Catch him!"
A white light rushed up, and Lily carried a brick that he did not know where to turn from, and one brick went up and confused the man. Hao Ren was taken aback when he saw this scene. He said that this man came out of the ashes. In case the body is really made of ash, will the Lily brick still be shot?
Fortunately, the man was just shot out by Lily, but turned over and stood up like no one else.
Lily decisively went up three or two times to subdue his opponent before escaping again, and then invited him to drag his loot back to Hao Ren: "Caught it!"
Mysterious man tied with a rope by Lily looked at Hao Ren with a look of horror: "You ... what are you doing ?! Are you a ghost?"
Hao Ren thought that the other party was the wizard he was looking for, but he felt wrong when he heard this tone. He asked the other party ’s identity: "Who are you?"
The man narrowed his neck in fear: "I ... I am the lord here, Hemerwin? Ahtisaari ..." (To be continued.)
