Soul Echo

Zhong Ye returned to Chartres with a few slates that he had pried out. Along the way, Lily and Lilian were looking at the slates, trying to find out what was special on them. The place.

But apart from the weird text on these slates, they all look and feel like ordinary stones without anything special.

The church of the Art and Beauty Church is located in the center of the city. Various types of buildings are scattered around the church. There is a river running through the city, which provides urban residents with living water.

The population of the city is not large, and there are no factories in the suburbs. However, since the god of art and beauty is the follower of the god of knowledge, Chartres is also a rare city in the western continent with a basic school.

Although the fees are high, the Art and Beauty Church will teach some arts in addition to writing and computing, which also makes many adults with regular jobs and low incomes prefer to tighten up Live in the belt, but also send your child to school to study.

The Church of Art and Beauty stood on the top of the hill, Zhong Ye and the others climbed up the hill along the hillside.

Zhong Ye and Lily Lieber, even if they were dressed as adventurers, looked extraordinary, not like civilians.

Therefore, the church guards stopped them and asked them a few questions before letting them go.

Zhong Ye and the others walked into the church, and an apprentice immediately greeted them and asked, "Excuse me, the three gentlemen and young ladies, what are you doing in our church?"

Zhong Ye nodded and took a slate out of his backpack, "The night before, we encountered the undead around Chartres, a day's walk away, and we wiped out all the undead. Then, on the second day, we walked along the The traces left by the undead were traced and an altar was found.

"We came to Chartres in the evening and heard that not only we had encountered the undead, but we went to investigate this morning and found it again. An altar, which we dug out of the altar, is part of the altar. ”

The apprentice was stunned for a while before digesting the information given by Zhong Ye, and immediately turned pale in fright.

Recently, Chartres has been making a lot of noise because of this incident. Many people are afraid of encountering the undead, and many squires and landlords came to the church to complain to them, and expressed their willingness to donate money to support the operation of the church, as long as this incident can be completely solved.

This kind of thing is natural It's not something the apprentice can understand, but it's too much trouble, and he has heard about it.

The apprentice swallowed, "Wait, wait, I'll call the tutors! "

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly bowed to Zhong Ye and the others, turned around and ran away.

Zhong Ye and the others found a bench and sat down without After a long time, the apprentice who had just run in ran back, and before he was out of breath, he said, "First, sir, tutor and the others, they invite you in..."

The apprentice breathed hard, white and tender. His face flushed.

Seeing the three of them stand up, he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Please, please come with me. "

Zhong Ye and the others were taken by the apprentice to the door of a room, watched him knock on the door, and then stood outside the door.

"Three, please come in." ”

Zhong Ye walked in first, glanced around the room, undid the long knife on her back, put it beside the door frame, and leaned against the wall.

Lily also learned something. The axe and gun were leaning against the wall.

Watching their movements, the clergymen sitting behind their desks twitched, but fortunately they didn't show any resentment.

"Three Please sit down first. "

Speaking, the clergyman stood up, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and walked towards Zhong Ye and the others.

After Zhong Ye sat down, he put his backpack on At your feet, place the side with the writing on the slate upwards and place it on the low table.

The clergy's eyes are caught by the writing on the slate, and their eyes are constantly on the slate and the piece of paper in their hands After wandering between, he was relieved after a long time, and looked towards Zhong Ye with a complicated expression.

"It looks like you have also found an altar? ”

It can be seen from the expressions of the clergy that they may have found an altar, and they have also destroyed the altar, and found some text on the back of the slate that makes up the altar.

The clergyman nodded, sat opposite Zhong Ye and the others, and put down the paper he was holding, so that Zhong Ye and the others could also see the content on it.

Zhong Ye pondered for a moment, then reacted, "Are you going to decipher these 'texts'? "

"You know it's text? "The clergy were also a little surprised.

Ordinary people don't think these crooked symbols are 'words', and even they, after some confirmation, consulted colleagues in the Knowledge Church, It is determined that these symbols are actually a kind of writing that they have not seen before.

"These things have satisfied a series of characteristics of 'words', of course words. "

Hearing the answer from the adventurer on the opposite side, the clergy were at a loss for words.

They worked hard and verified several times, but didn't expect the answer at first. In front of them, they just didn't pay attention.

The clergy took a breath and looked straight, "Dare to ask your Excellency? "

"I'm Zhong Ye." Zhong Ye didn't hide his identity, "I want to know the whole picture of this matter, and know how many altars you have found and where, so that I can help you find the remaining altars." "

Zhong Ye...

The clergy's face stiffened and their eyes widened.

How did this powerhouse with a 'Legendary' experience come to them? ...Heavens! Doesn't this mean that Chartres is about to suffer a disaster?!

"...Your Excellency, we've actually figured out the cause of the incident. "

After the complexion changed several times, the clergy sighed deeply as if admitting their fate: "Those undead are actually just by-products. What really terrifying is the corruption of the land and natural environment by those altars."

"Those altars can kill all life and vitality, neither we nor the Druids have a magic cultivator. The wounds left by the altars to nature can only be cast through the mother earth and the father of nature. divine force to fix it."

Because they have figured out what those altars do, the clergy hate to speak of these things.

Lily gnashed her teeth, "Then do you know who did it?"

"No." The priest shook his head sadly, "If we knew who did it, we would I will never let them go!"

At this time, Zhong Ye woke up from his thoughts and suddenly asked: "Those altars, when you arrived, did they stop working?"

The clergyman froze for a moment, then the complexion slightly changed, "What does this mean?"

Then, Zhong Ye talked about the 'painted skin' that he encountered in detail. matter.

The expressions of the clergy gradually became serious, and they said bluntly: "We have not met the monster you said!"

Then, they encountered 'painted skin', Is it just accidental?

At least Zhong Ye doesn't think this is a coincidence. There are too many doubts in the matter. If it is a coincidence, the explanation is too far-fetched. He personally prefers a conspiracy.

"...you said just now that the undead are just by-products, and it is the altar that really poisoned our world, so is it possible that those corpses are the sacrifices themselves, but I don't know what happened to cause them Resurrected from the dead?"

The clergy nodded with conviction, "Yes, there are people in our church who think so too, and with all the signs that are emerging, this is the closest The probability of the truth."

Zhong Ye had already obtained all the information he wanted, so he took out all the slates in his backpack and handed them over to the clergyman sitting opposite, then got up to give a salute and left the church .

Not long after leaving the church, Zhong Ye saw the fire in the distance, thought for a while, and remembered the direction of the adventurer's house.

He immediately raised his eyebrows and said to Lillian and the others, "Be careful with yourself, be careful", then took a deep breath and woke up the dormant body.

During the start, the body continued to be awakened, and the strength of the limbs and bones emerged one after another.

Just listen-

Boom!

Lily and Lillian saw a dent in the ground in front of Zhong Ye, and then his silhouette instantly disappeared in front of them.

Throw away your legs and run wild.

Zhong Ye was running on the street, and in just one minute, he had already rushed to the door of the adventurer's house.

The main part of the adventurer's house was not ignited by the flames, standing in front of the door, Zhong Ye could clearly hear the shouting from the other side.

Walking quickly through the hall and through the back door, Zhong Ye came to the back of the adventurer's house.

The Heavenly Fire light flushed his cheeks and covered the cold light in his eyes.

- If he remembered correctly, that location should be the warehouse of the Adventurer's House.

Just last night, he personally brought the 'painted skin' skin to this place for storage!

Zhong Ye took a few glances and stepped forward to help prevent the spread of the flames.

The fire is so big that even mages can't handle it, so all they can do now is stop it from spreading.

The fire burned for a whole day, illuminating the night in Chartres, and it was not until the dawn of the second day that the flames dissipated.

What was originally a warehouse was only left with broken walls. Some adventurers or businessmen who stored goods in the warehouse saw this scene and could not help crying. Some people rolled their eyes and fainted. land.

Contaminated with gray and black, Zhong Ye stood in front of the ruins of the warehouse and silently clenched his fists.
