Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 236 In the Tall Grass
Frankly, Kraft is even a little thankful to whoever called him out.

Looking at the order of meal sharing, the portion of the "pursuit of truth" on the plate in front of him will definitely not be small.

As a key object of care, if you don't eat it at that time, you will be sorry for the host's entertainment, and if you eat it, you will be really sorry for your digestive tract.

At this time when there is no balance between inside and outside, it happens that someone is willing to take the initiative to give an excuse to leave the meeting, it is simply the blessing of the heavenly father.

The Professor would have liked it better if the people who came to the door didn't look like a Nazgul fresh off work from Sauron in a soggy hooded burqa.

Frances watched with some anxiety as the two sides had some inhumane exchanges in low voices, and was worried that they would fight on the spot. After all, there was never a harmonious relationship between the Tribunal and the medical school.

If it hadn't been for the person who came here to repeatedly express that there was no malice and an extremely tough attitude, she might not have let this group of dripping guys step on the carpet in the house at all.

In this era when the wind of religious trial has been out of fashion for many years, even if they are sure that the master has committed blasphemy, they rarely ask to enter the private domain of the nobles under unnecessary circumstances.

This could easily be mistaken for a provocation to the group as a whole, and it may not be a misunderstanding.

With the idea of ​​not causing trouble, the owner of the manor decided to let them finish their conversation, but if there was a slight tendency to go wrong, they would be separated in time.

However, the situation was unexpectedly harmonious. The professor stood by the half-opened corridor window and communicated with them for a while, as if he had received some important information, he nodded clearly.

The wind and rain were raging outside the window, and the lightning flashed through the clouds, shining white and glaring on the half of the body by the window, and the shadow suddenly stretched to the other wall.

The ensuing thunder obscured the conversation, making it impossible to hear what they were saying.

The exchange only lasted for a short while, and the people in the trial court had no intention of leaving, but stood still and waited.

"Thank you for today's hospitality. If it is convenient, we can discuss the cooperation in detail next week." Kraft walked back to Frances quickly, explaining the situation with apology but irreversible, "I'm afraid I will ask you tonight Take care of my people."

"Of course." Francis was stunned for a moment, and after re-identifying whether there was any ambiguity, he confirmed that the professor meant to go out on a rainy night, "You know, it's very dangerous, it's best to wait until tomorrow morning .”

"I once had an uncle who liked to hunt. He also broke his leg while riding a horse in the rain. Since then, it has been difficult for him to walk. Those roads are not as friendly as usual when they are wet, especially at night."

"If you have any difficulties, we can help you."

She almost wrote "We'll send these plague gods away for you" written on her face.It's not that some archbishop will have to go to heaven if he doesn't get treatment tonight, what can be rushed for this sake.

"A little personal matter, I can't wait until tomorrow morning. If other people ask, please explain to me to solve some urgent matters related to someone's life." Kraft began to organize and check his belongings. There is an emergency in Guojia Manor.

Fortunately, the habit of carrying a sword with him has not fallen, and he is not wearing any banquet clothes that hinder activities.

"I need a rain cloak, a lamp, and a horse that knows the way."

"If you insist, there is no problem, but won't your entourage go with you?" Frances blinked and asked.

"Of course not. With his riding skills, he will only add a fractured patient to me. It's better to stay here and take care of Yvonne. They don't get along too badly."

Kupp's riding skills were developed after he became a squire, and he was limited to "know how to ride". On a rainy night when the visibility and road conditions are in a mess, it is not good for everyone's life and safety to take him with him.

Taking advantage of the time when the servants were preparing things, Kraft ran back to the hall and briefly explained a few words, then took the coat and went to the stables, where he took over a horse that was said to be the most stable here.

At the main gate of the manor, the "ring spirit" team was already waiting for him. All of them were dressed in black burqas, and naturally exuded an unkind aura that people should not get close to. The guards were so scared that they kept a distance from them.

Seeing people coming, they spread out to give way to the middle of the team, turned on the lanterns, and led the joiners into the boundless rain.

The countryside at night is completely different from the daytime impression, and it can even be said to be completely reversed.

Those intimate and quiet greens show a cold and mysterious side, and the artificial forests form a dark entity that is difficult to distinguish between real and real, forcing the road to bend and turn, and almost hit it if you don't pay attention.

Those who came to pick up Kraft were obviously experienced riders. They consciously controlled the speed. The lantern of the leader in front was crumbling in the wind and rain, always providing general direction guidance for the rear.

The distance between the teams is greater than usual, leaving a large buffer space to prevent one person from making a mistake and all behind being affected.

Such a situation is also difficult for Kraft. Unless it is an extremely urgent situation, no one will choose to go out on horseback at this time. Even if you trust your own riding skills, there is no guarantee that the horse will not stumble.

After going through several sharp turns against humanity that I hadn't noticed during the day, those annoying trees were left behind.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that he was facing a turbulent path.

Without the obstruction of the trees, the power of the wind became more pronounced, and the tall grass that reached the waist and even the chest was caressing in the turbulent airflow that entrained rain.

They seem to have gained mobility, twitching wantonly and rushing towards horses and riders, blurring the boundaries of the road.

I can feel the wet, sharp-edged things whipping and entangled through the cloth, undulating and swinging in clusters, passing between the running hooves.

The rain blurred the view, or it was not open at all, and only the limited road surface on one side of the hanging lamp and the lights of the companions in front could be seen, and the rest was completed by imagination.

The sky in the far distance suddenly lit up with electric light, and it was fleeting, outlining the irregular edges of the thick clouds, briefly illuminating the surroundings for them, showing a daunting picture.

The boundless, wildly dancing tall grass, the water curtain of the low clouds, and the collapsed gullies of the ruins like sharp wounds across the wilderness.

The rolling thunder exploded when the lightning afterimage on the retina dissipated.A hiss could be heard mixed with the rumbling, and the quadrupeds that carried them were shaking slightly from panic or hypothermia, and their manes were soaked with water and fell over.

The bead-like team moved forward with difficulty under the power of nature.

In yet another flash of cloud charge friction, a targeted malevolence reveals an anomaly in a certain direction to the intuitive.

Kraft looked to the front side of the team based on experience.Covered by the drastic change in brightness, a very small area of ​​bleak light lit up among the turbulent grass blades.

Logically speaking, such a dim small-scale light has no possibility of being noticed, and when the most sensitive person becomes suspicious, it will have to wait until the electric light disappears and the horse has rushed a long distance.

But in the eyes of those who pay attention, it is a violation that cannot be ignored.

A pale glow that does not belong to anything that should be in this world, held in the palm of a low, bony silhouette.

At the same time, the malicious and indescribable sharp sense of danger appeared and elongated, lying right in front of the team.

"Stop!" Experience put an end to Kraft's thoughts of continued hesitation and speculation, he tried his best to yell a warning, and pulled the rein to slow down.

The sound penetrated the rain curtain and reached everyone's ears, and the thunder engulfed the inquiries that sounded before and after.

But what they saw explained where they were now:
The monk who was at the front and the most difficult to hear the warning took a while to react. The wet road and inertia sent him forward for a while before he stopped slowly, and then froze in place without making any further movements.

His lantern fell into the muddy water, and the moment before it went out, the people behind could see a very strange figure.

Bounded by the height of the chest and abdomen, along an invisible slanted line, the rider's body produces a flat dislocation that looks extremely unreal.

Like a block of ice cut by a sharp, unmatched blade, the upper half was disjointed and slid to one side under the force of gravity.

　Eryang went to work for two days with illness, but he recovered.
