As the manor gradually restored its original scenery, under the afternoon sun, bright yellow flames appeared on all the five monsters transformed by the owners of the manor. But instead of wailing in the flames, they smiled with joy after their spirits returned to normal.
The night was opened, and the sunlight filled the long-abandoned manor. Ghosts and mummies floated or crawled out of the mansion one by one, and were burned to ashes in the sunlight.
The winter afternoon sun shone on his face, and the warm feeling made Xia De feel very comfortable. He bent down and picked up the suitcase that had fallen into the snow, and then grabbed the Holy Grail that emerged from the ground. The rune this time was [Memory], which was different from the past.
"I took this as a souvenir."
He shook the photo frame in his hand.
at this time. The ogre's limbs regenerated and stood up in the ignited flames; the little monster with a rat tail grew in size and supported its old father; the two souls that gradually became transparent in the flames hugged each other, and then the little girl remained He covered his face, but also faced Shade.
A family of five people stood together in the flames ignited in the void, and the photo frame suddenly cracked in his hand, but fortunately the yellowed old photo was still intact, with a group photo of a family of six people on it.
Old Watson, whose face was still terrifying, nodded.
"It belongs to you...thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm not here to save you."
He waved to the five people as a farewell, then turned his back to them, stepped on the snow in the sun, walked through the courtyard, and came to the fence gate.
The fence door had opened a gap, and Shade even walked sideways. He turned around to close the door but looked up and saw the dilapidated manor again, so peaceful under the snow and sunshine. The circling crows had flown away at some point, leaving only a few sparrows flying from nowhere, stopping on the snow.
On the snow in front of the mansion, there were continuous patches of black ashes. And where a family of five had been standing just now, there was now only a patch of black and gray. He looked down at the old photo in his hand, hesitated for a moment, rolled it up and stuffed it into his pocket.
"It's so quiet."
Shade sighed softly, then slowly closed the fence door, turned and walked along the slope towards the forest path in the cedar forest below:
"Devil, right..."
He murmured softly and his figure gradually blurred in the snow.
At this time, it was already three o'clock on Monday afternoon. If he wanted to get on a carriage and return to the urban area of Randall Valley City, Shade would have to walk along this country road for at least half an hour before entering the edge of the urban area.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and shortly after Shade went downhill in the forest that was no longer so gloomy, and passed the spot where the three hunters clung to each other and fought with the devil, three more people walked vaguely in the wind and snow on the path. .
Because of the haunting legends and the expelling effect of relics on ordinary people, few people actually come here. Shade was originally curious about who this was, but when he got closer, he realized that the three people opposite him were all ring warlocks.
"Did those two guys I let go just call for help?"
Xia De, who was not in a good mood at the moment, happened to want to release his bad mood, but unfortunately his guess was wrong. After getting closer, it was obvious that the strong aura of the Sun Church's magic was felt on the three of them. It was not only the clothes and their own power, but also the aura of the exorcism items they held.
Because he is so familiar with Eluno, and Shade, the divine magician of the Church of the Sun, is the most familiar with him.
The ring warlock team from the Church of the Sun is not a full team, but they are probably just here to investigate the situation.
Shade vaguely understood in his heart, but he did not dodge the opponent, but faced him directly. The three people walking across the street in the wind and snow discovered him a few seconds later than Shade. Unfortunately, they did not have Shade's perception, so they did not know that Shade was a ring warlock.
The two sides soon met on the snow-covered cedar forest path. Shade nodded slightly to greet the three of them, while the leader, a seven-ringed warlock wearing a brown coat and holding a hand quilt that looked like a metal climbing branch, asked politely. Shard:
Excuse me, Watson
Is the manor at the end of this road? "
"Yes."
Shade nodded and told them:
"We can walk there in about ten minutes. There is a road sign in front of the manor, so you won't be mistaken."
Judging from Shade's good attitude, he didn't even wear gloves, so he walked in the snow with a suitcase. Judging from his appearance and temperament, Shade didn't look like a villager in the countryside, the seven-ringed warlock with a short hair. It’s easy to send and asked:
"Speaking of which, may I ask where you came from..."
He glanced behind Shade. The end of this road was Watson Manor, and the two subsequent forked roads led to the countryside further away. Generally speaking, no one would walk here in this season. of.
"Oh, me."
Shade made an expression as if he just understood what the other party wanted to ask:
"I'm also going to Watson Manor, but I'm one step ahead of you."
He said, pointing at himself in the wary eyes of the three people:
If you had come three or four hours earlier, you would have seen a lot of things. I first met the undead on this road, and then at the gate of the manor, I met a cultist who believed in the evil god [Stone Heart Demon]. Later, I entered the manor, expelled the relics, and purified a large number of undead.
He didn't mention the demon thing. He was almost done with it, so there was no need for the church to come again. He is not worried that the church cannot deal with the ancient evil spirit. On the contrary, he is worried that once the church targets the opponent, with the number of ring warlocks currently mobilized by the diocese to deal with the chosen one, the devil will die too quickly. Once the doctor and Sister Demeline came, they couldn't get what they wanted.
However, these people will definitely be able to find some clues when they are in the manor. Using those few clues to investigate and hinder the devil's plan, Shade would be happy to see the results:
"Also, the land there has also fallen into madness, and I have purified it. You can go check it out and report back. Oh, it's a pity that the guardians didn't show up."
By now, the church should also be aware of the "Guardian", so when Shade said this, the other party should know what it meant.
"Excuse me, what's next..."
The middle-aged man of the seventh ring asked cautiously, and the five-ring warlock and the fourth-ring warlock following him did not show any hostility. This is the difference between the team of the Righteous God Church and the cultists.
"unimportant."
"But you have the ability to purify the crazy land."
"Yes, that's because I have come into contact with the Guardian. I will tell you a piece of information for free. The Guardian can give other people the power of the earth."
Shad said:
"You guys, keep moving forward. I'm going back to the city. I'm really looking forward to having a drink in a warm tavern. I'm freezing today."
"please wait for a moment!"
The Seventh Ring Warlock said hurriedly. He had no intention of forcing Shade to stay. After all, the three people's perceptions were unable to detect whether the person in front of them was a Ring Warlock.
"Is there anything else?"
This... We are the Ring Warlock Team of Randall Hehe Parish and Church of the Sun, and we have been ordered to investigate the matter at Watson Manor. After last week's Lake Eldron incident, the local Five Gods Church discussed that there must be many unexplored twisting zones in the Del Valley area, so every suspicious location must be investigated thoroughly. "
"I know all this, and I also know who you are, otherwise why would I talk to you?"
Shade said, and then asked:
"Is there anything else? If nothing else, I have to leave."
"Please wait a moment... are you... the person who purified Lake Eldron last Thursday night?"
He asked tentatively, and then reached out to his companion. The young four-ring warlock handed him a small bottle, and then the small bottle was handed to Shade.
Holy Water No. 4, the standard material used by the church's Ring Warlock team to perform missions. Although Priest August had unlimited purchases, Shade still took it;
"It may be, it may not be, this
The question makes no sense. "
He pointed behind him:
"But it seems to me that you are going to be busy for a while. The problems in that manor are huge...really huge."
He emphasized his tone:
"Although I have cleared up most of the problems, you should be careful."
After all, there may still be residual demonic power in Jing. If Shade holds the [Night Watch] and directly uses this ritual sword to release the "Light Technique", he can completely purify it, but it is a pity that he cannot bring the sword now:
"In addition, the cultists I met also came for this manor, but unfortunately they failed to deal with the relic. 「
Instead, he left in no hurry:
"I have told you so much information, please tell me something... Have you found the hiding place of the escaped cultists and the [Blood Spirit School]? The thirteen-ring warlock of the [Blood Spirit School], the Bloodweeper He Almons, are you here too?"
The three of them looked at each other, and the seven-ring warlock who was still the leader said:
"This is not some secret information. It has not been found yet, but at least it is certain that they are still in the local area. As for Hermons, there is no news yet, but it cannot be ruled out that he has entered the Old World again."
Hermons the Bloodweeper was injured by the Sun Church's Sunshine Sword during the Tobesk Darkness Incident at the end of last summer. Half a year should be enough time to recover from his injuries.
"Of course they are here, and their purpose has not yet been achieved. Either to call upon their gods, or for the chosen ones of the earth, or both."
Shade also ignored the surprised expressions of the three people;
"You don't think I am a local. I am a mysterious high-level warlock from other places. If it is not for the sake of being chosen, could it be that I am here just to join in the fun? I know this, isn't it incredible?"
He waved to the three of them:
"I'm really going back to the city this time. I wish you luck in your move. The weather is really bad. Also, I'm not a god-caller, so don't make random guesses."
There is so much power left in Watson Manor that Shade is sure that no one can divine him.
With that said, Shade passed by the three of them and walked towards the city along the way they came.
"team leader."
The middle-aged man with five rings asked the seven-ring warlock holding the climbing stick, who shook his head slightly. The three of them stood there, watching Shade walking farther and farther in the snow, then turned around and continued towards Watson Manor.
