Shaman from Afar

Lorren squatted beside the ghoul’s lair, carefully picking and choosing among the pile of rotten meat and broken bones, and the dark eyes carefully inspected each part.

Ghouls are indeed scavengers, but they also know how to store food. The powerful chewing function and King Kong ’s unbreakable stomach allow this monster to digest anything that can poison a cow, even if the bones have already decomposed and weathered. In the eyes of these monsters, the corpse is still delicious.

For a quarter of an hour, Loren, who had been completely numb in the smell, still did not find what he wanted to find, but there was a clear expression on his face-among these bodies, there was still no head, even Not even part of the bones, part of the carrion!

If only one or two are missing the head and torso, even most of them may not be understandable, but now the situation is that the bones of these parts are missing, and even a little trace is not left.

Loren now has two conclusions in front of them-these ghouls are particularly “love” human head and upper body torso; the other is that someone deliberately hide their heads, ghouls are only used to cover up these people The real cause of death.

Sensual and romantic poets may choose the first one, but rational and brainy people will choose the second one, but Loren shares himself in the second group.

But these are not enough, at least not enough to let yourself determine who it is, and for what to do these things-I need more clues.

“It looks like this task will be more troublesome than imagined.”

…… After ending the investigation of the abandoned tomb, Loren did not return directly to the church, but went to the tavern in Gumu Town, where the mercenaries were killed for the first time.

After spending a few silver coins to dismiss the pub owner, Loren was able to enter the blood-stained room-the boss did not clean it up, and obviously no one would be willing to live in the room that was once invaded by monsters.

The walls were covered with blood stains, as can be seen from the messy room and the blood that was scattered everywhere. The mercenary had also resisted before it was killed, but in the end it was still not a group of ghoul opponents , And then split into corpses.

Chairs, tables, and the only bed, all cluttered together, and I can’t see at all how many ghouls, or whether there are only mercenaries in the room.

Lorren also found an iron sword used by mercenaries from the corner. It was completely corroded and only half of it was left. The other half may still be in this room, but I am afraid that it does not make sense to find it.

It ’s just that the cross-section of the blade ’s fracture is too smooth … the dark eyes slipped over the blade, this kind of notch does not seem to be broken or broken at all, but more like a certain kind of The alchemical substance is corroded away.

“Are you looking for something valuable, Master Wizard?” The strange and strange pub owner pushed open the door and walked in. He looked at Loren greedily with his arm in his arms, as if expecting something.

“Nothing else, there are only minor problems.” Loren put the broken sword into the boot tube, and Loren looked up curiously: “The night of the mercenary, this room must be noisy, you Did you really find nothing? “

“You also know that this guy is a mercenary. There are many mercenaries.” The boss waved his hand for granted: “Such things are everywhere. Although we don’t have many here, we are not surprised.”

That’s why it hasn’t been discovered … Lorren guessed.

“But this guy was really killed by a monster?” The pub owner was not scared at all: “It really deserves it!”

“Why?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a rumor that these monsters are the curse of the Holy Cross, punishing the ungodly believers.” The pub owner said: “The priest in the church said the same, he also said that these monsters are because … … “

All because of us wizards … Even though the boss closed his mouth, Loren could still guess from his expression.

“You just said that these monsters are the curse of the Holy Cross.” Loren suddenly asked: “The eldest son of the local rich businessman died, did he ever have any” not pious “behavior?”

“Holy Cross is up, how did you guess this outsider ?!” The pub owner was shocked, but shook his head not quite as expected: “It’s not true, the young master just once bumped Father priest, he said that he is not like a priest in luxury-but that is a priest, how can that kind of big man not be a bit of a slap? “

“Okay, I’ll trouble you.” Loren nodded and gestured to leave with a few gestures. The tavern owner seemed to think of it now, grabbing his wrist.

“Oh, by the way, there is a little priest downstairs waiting for you, saying there is an emergency.”

When Loren walked outside the tavern, there was a little priest in the robe of the Holy Cross who was anxiously waiting. After seeing Loren’s figure, he immediately came forward: “Are you Mr. Loren? Are you? Actually still alive, this is really a blessing of the Holy Cross! “

“Draco priest originally asked me to wait for you in the church, but I heard that you came to the pub, so I came a little pretentiously.” The little priest still looked excited and said along the way Non-stop.

“You actually defeated so many monsters by yourself alone. This must be the Holy Cross blessing you. Sure enough, the Holy Cross is still kind. I can’t bear to continue to watch the poor people continue to suffer before they borrow. Your hands solved them! “

“Where did the Draco priest go?”

“Master Draco has other things to be busy. Since … that priest, Anthony has given him the job of” the one “.” The little priest said very obscurely, but Loren can also approximate Guess the “that” should refer to the priest nephew.

“I heard that Father Anthony liked his nephew quite a bit.” Loren, who sensed something, continued to lure the other to talk.

“That’s the case, but ‘that’ doesn’t listen to Father Anthony very much. He often makes troubles and likes to gamble money, which makes the priest very headache.” The expression of the little priest seems to have no good feelings for this guy: “Fortunately, Father Anthony did not choose He is his heir. “

Lorren just kept chatting with the little priest all the way until the two talents stopped at the door of the church. The Draco priest with an apologetic expression came straight from the door of the church: “I’m sorry I couldn’t go directly to you. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Holy Cross is on … I, I didn’t expect you to do it! Have those ghouls been completely annihilated? “

“Yes, but I also found something else.” Loren carefully observed Draco’s expression.

“What did you find?” The priest’s look did not change at all, and he could not see what he was thinking.

“Some not-so-good signs … I am afraid these ghouls are not actively attacking, but artificial.”

“The Holy Cross is on top, who the **** would …” The little priest exclaimed, but was immediately stopped by Draco.

“This matter must not be disclosed, otherwise it will cause more panic!” The calm and calm Draco waved to the little priest: “You go down first, remember not to mention it with anyone, it is best to forget it completely, Otherwise, all of this will only frighten the snake and make the real behind-the-scenes impunity. “

“Yes, yes!” The little priest was completely frightened, rushed into the church like he was running away, and disappeared into the sight of the two.

After looking at the people in the surroundings without notice, Draco resumed the conversation: “How much did you find?”

“Few, it can hardly be used as evidence.” Loren shook his head: “But people behind the scenes seem to have been using ghouls as a guise, creating an atmosphere that punishes those who do not believe in God or have done something to the church Friendly person, and it is obvious that he may be quite disgusted with the wizard. “

“You, wouldn’t you just say …” Draco’s eyes widened, obviously the answer was almost ready.

“It is now decided that it is too arbitrary, and it is not the final moment.” Loren shook his head: “Tomorrow I have to go to the place where the last incident occurred to see if there are any other clues.”
