Goddess Wanhua Mirror

At Lude's invitation, Shaluo returned to the hall of the temple. The villagers here had already left. Aina and Shanisi were arranging the benches, and the other was cleaning.Apart from being young and beautiful, at first glance, they are not much different from ordinary nuns.

The two parties sat down casually in this hall without entering the back room. Lu De cleared his throat slightly, and his whole state instantly changed from "wedding master of ceremonies" to "storyteller" mode.

"This matter! It starts with the great magician Hamilton of the Three-Man Tower passing through our village..."

In front of Shaluo, Lu De basically recounted a series of events in the past three months or so, including the black dragon Nidhogg's assistance to the village, and only concealed the details about the young dragon Kangna. part.

Before Shaluo came, he had already read the letter written by Knight Jiegang, and he knew that the operation to obtain the dragon eggs had failed, and that the dragon had made a fuss, causing many villages in the border area to suffer, so Knight Jiegang asked the Earl Call for help, provide relief food to border areas.

However, the news was cut off after that. Heavy snow blocked the mountains and blocked normal traffic and communication. Wolfhelm City was unable to get in touch with Hamilton and the others all winter.

So when Sha Luo came this time, in addition to patrolling the border area, he also had a mission to find Master Hamilton and Captain Jie Gang.

"Master Hamilton hasn't returned yet?"

"At least not before I left the city. My lord priest, you just said that they finally went to the west, are you sure?"

"It was more than three months ago when they left the village. I'm not sure that they are still there now."

"Okay! I understand, thank you for the clue."

"You're welcome."

Sha Luo got up and saluted Lu De, and then led his men to go out the door. Halfway through the walk, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and asked.

"Mr. Priest, where did you say you came from?"

"In a distant country, I spent the rest of my life practicing in many places, eager to understand the Dao, and when I realized that I was getting old, I couldn't even find the way home."

When Lu De said this, there was a sad expression on his face unconsciously, but this was not acting, but the true feelings that had been hidden in his heart after time travel. A wanderer who can't find his way home.

After leaving the temple, Sharo led two of his men towards the village, when the knight nicknamed "The File" asked.

"Captain, are we going west next?"

"No! Let's stay in this village for a few days and use this as a base to send out investigations in all directions."

"What?"

"Because of that priest just now, he was trying to fool me."

As Shaluo said, she opened the palm she had been holding tightly to show the two subordinates. In between, she was holding a strange pendant shaped like an eye. The eyeball in the middle was a crystal, and there seemed to be a Something near liquid was flowing, and now it was off-white.

The two knights are old subordinates who have followed Sha Luo for many years, so they naturally know what it is. It is a birthday present given to Sha Luo by the old earl of the previous generation on her 16th birthday - the artifact "Pupil of True Sight".

This thing is a super easy-to-use lie detector. When the holder talks to others, the artifact will show darker and darker colors according to whether the other party is lying or not.

This artifact comes from the hand of Kumilad, the goddess of wisdom. In addition to being in charge of wisdom, the opponent's god also has the god of mischief, the witch of conspiracy, and the hand of divine creation!According to legend, she was behind the battle of the gods that caused the catastrophe of the world, and she was a strange god with some evil spirits.

But although he is not a serious god, Kumilad has one good thing, that is, he loves making artifacts very much, and he will always give them to mortals after they are finished. Two-thirds are the works of Kumilad, so although this goddess disbanded her own sect, she has no shortage of believers in the mortal world.

Shaluo looked at the color of the pupil of true seeing. The gray part was very light, which meant that most of what the old priest said just now was the truth, only a few sentences were wrong.But this didn't make Shaluo take it lightly, on the contrary, it aroused [-] points of vigilance.

Because her father and grandpa had told her that those really brilliant master liars always lie with nine truths and one false, and only hide a small part of the most important information, so as to make the deceived believe it. Take the action he expects.

Shaluo still has no way of determining which of Lude's words just now is a lie, but since he is lying, there must be a purpose.So Shaluo decided to use Pine Tree Village as a base to send scouts around, under the guise of staying for a while, to observe the village and this strange sect nearby.

That night, Sha Luo and his party stayed in the village, and Lao Rom arranged three nearby courtyard houses for more than 40 of them.

Sha Luo looked at the residences arranged for them in the village, and thought that the houses in this place were quite interesting.The entire village is centered on the temple, and the periphery is divided into fan-shaped blocks by several streets, and each block is composed of such groups of courtyard houses.

Four two-story buildings form a "square box", which can accommodate up to eight households. Each courtyard is an independent small fortress, and these small fortresses are connected with other surrounding courtyards to form a section. The city wall protects the temple layer by layer.

Shaluo had to admit that on the border where bandits and beasts were rampant, buildings with this structure did feel more secure, but judging from the posture of the village, many places were not yet completed, and it was unknown what was being repaired.

"This priest Lude, what is his background?"

Because she passed by Hamilton, Shaluo didn't know who she was looking for, and she was eating her favorite stone grilled steak in her castle at the moment, listening to her increasingly old and confused grandpa, tirelessly Tell people about the dark history of her and her brothers and sisters when they were young.

Simply because of caution and doubts when seeing abnormal things, coupled with the Pupil of True Sight reacting to Lude, Shaluo's suspicions became more and more serious, and he even imagined a very terrifying possibility.

Will the disappearance of Hamilton and others have something to do with this village?

End of this chapter

On the side of the temple, Lude didn't know at this time that the female knight who came to him before had a lie detector artifact in her hand, and he was judged to have lied by the artifact because of the sentence "old".

indeed!Whether it is a 33-year-old soul or a body that has just turned 18, the current Lude is not up to the standard of "old age" in all aspects, so it is reasonable for the artifact to think that he has told lies.

However, it was just such a lie that caused Sharo to make up a lot of things in his own brain, so he focused on Lude and his temple.

After closing the main entrance of the temple, Lu De took off his mask and began to count the various benefits brought by the mass wedding during the day.

So far, Lude has not raised even a single copper coin from the villagers. He only collects some agricultural products as consultation fees when he sees a doctor for the villagers. The biggest income is the five gold coins given by Hamilton, which still exists in Lude. De's nightstand was untouched.

Many villagers think that the priest is indifferent to fame and fortune, and takes money lightly, but in fact, Lu De simply knows that the villagers are poor, and what he wants to plunder from the villagers are things that ordinary people cannot see.

Relying on this wedding, Shanisi has been satisfied for a long time. Whether it is the sixteen couples of brides and grooms, or their relatives and friends, or even the villagers watching the excitement in the whole village, the beliefs that thousands of villagers have developed during the day are all It was more than what Shanis had received before.

Therefore, Shanisi also admitted that Lu De's ability is indeed much better than that of the old astrologer, and a set of operations can feed her full!

And feeding Shanisi is also good for Lude. After all, he could only draw from Aina before using magic spells. Now that he has the "battery" of Shanisi, the battery life has become more durable. .

After sorting out the research notes, Lu De stretched his waist and took a breath. He felt exhausted and just wanted to lie on the bed early and have a good rest.

Lude feels that there are more and more jobs at hand recently, and the relatively relaxed environment of last year is no longer there, but in the face of the surge in workload, there is no one around him who can be trusted and who can help.

Three goddesses and one envoy, Aina and Shanisi are currently mainly responsible for being Lude's battery, doing simple cleaning work every day, while Hume and Luoye are also helping the village continue to train the militia, and neither of them are working Materials for internal affairs, especially not suitable for managing money!

In desperation, a lot of trivial paperwork fell to Lu De alone, and he felt that he was about to be unable to hold on.

"Oh~! I really want to hire a housekeeper."

After muttering a few words, Lu De changed into his pajamas and got into bed. The sleep time every day was the greatest moment of salvation for him. After all, as long as a person falls asleep, there is everything in the dream!

Lude, who was physically and mentally exhausted, soon fell asleep, and in the dream, he seemed to hear a gloomy and ethereal woman's voice calling him, and walked forward step by step with his legs disobedient, wanting to Listen to what the other person is trying to tell you.

"Bone...give it back to me..."

In a trance, Lude came to a familiar place, which was the room he once lived in, or more precisely... the previous life!

The whole room is not big, except for a single bed and a desk with a computer, the most conspicuous thing is the cabinet full of hand-made and all kinds of messy "household things", if it wasn't for a set of clothes hanging on the hanger The police uniform that has not been worn for a long time, it is difficult for ordinary people to guess that this is the room of the cop.

Seeing all this familiar but far away, Lu De suddenly felt a moist feeling in the corner of his eyes, but before he was immersed in the emotion, the computer screen on the desk suddenly lit up by itself, and a player automatically popped up when it was turned on and Enter full screen mode.

In the screen of the player, there is an abandoned sewer ruins. A woman dressed like a maid is standing in the middle, with long loose hair covering her entire face.This scene made Lu De feel so familiar, and it was exactly the same as the famous scene in a classic horror movie!

At this time, the long-haired female ghost in the picture began to approach the screen, as if passing through an open window, she leaned out directly from the screen, and her plump breasts were particularly conspicuous because of her bending down.

Lude suddenly felt a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart. His computer was a new high-end product not long ago when he crossed. It specially got a 32-inch high-definition curved screen, so the size can easily allow the female ghost to pass through.

Seeing that the female ghost had already crawled out half of her body, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Lude's mind, and he rushed forward with lightning speed, and did a coquettish operation that the female ghost did not expect at all.

He pressed the ESC key...to exit full screen!

In an instant, the player's screen shrank from a 32-inch full screen to only one-third of the screen. Just as it got stuck on the female ghost's waist, the female ghost screamed and struggled.

"It hurts! It hurts! Oh, I'm stuck..."

"..."

With the scream of the female ghost in panic, Lude's fear disappeared, and at this moment, the dream world shook wildly like an earthquake and quickly disintegrated. Lude heard Hume the sound of.

"Lud! Lud! Wake up!"

Struggling to sit up from the bed, Lude found himself back in the room on the side of the temple. Hume was grabbing the collar of his pajamas, and at the same time his face was aching.

Before he could ask what happened to Hume, a black shadow suddenly crawled out from under his bed, trying to slip away, but was stepped on by Hume, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

"A mere ghost dares to touch my mother!"

Although she lost most of her power, Hume is a goddess after all, so with a loud shout, the black shadow stepped on by her showed its original shape. It was the long-haired female ghost who was caught by the window in Lude's dream before. .

Hume's foot just stepped on her chest, making her unable to move.

Soon, other people also heard the movement in Lude's room, and rushed over one after another. Luoye was still carrying a huge double-edged battle axe, but because she was the little sister of the main body at the moment, the ax was taken by her petite body. The body sets off the extraordinarily huge.

When everyone saw the female ghost on the ground, no one said they were afraid, but they all came together, touching and chatting, as if a group of rambunctious children visiting the house saw a limited edition gunpla collected by a relative's elder brother.

Ever since, the strong sense of fear broke down the weak psychological defense of Miss Ghost, lying on the ground and crying "Wow", Lu De was speechless.

"Who is the ghost here?"

End of this chapter

Undead are something that really exists in this world.

Theoretically speaking, after the body of all living beings dies, their souls have a certain probability to transform into undead naturally, and the more powerful the soul and spiritual power are, the easier it is to transform.Therefore, magicians have become a high-risk group for the transformation of undead.

Some magicians think this is a good thing, because after becoming an undead, they can get rid of the shackles of the body, and they can continue to carry out their unfinished research without sleep or rest, without birth and death.

But there are also some magicians who just want to completely break away from the mortal world after their death, and don't want to cause trouble to other living people, so they will prepare special sealed coffins in advance to prevent themselves from turning into undead.

In Lude's view, the undead is an existence far more incredible than gods.Because once a living soul is transformed into an undead, it will really exist forever unless it is wiped out by someone using a professional tool to remove the spirit.

Hume told Lude that she had met several old undead who existed for thousands of years, older than these gods, and could achieve eternal existence without eating or drinking and without the need for mortals to provide faith.

However, there are risks and disadvantages in becoming an undead. First of all, in the transformation stage, the soul may be damaged or lost, thus becoming a remnant soul with incomplete memory and personality. Killing, or leaving regrets during life, so there is a strong hatred and obsession when transforming, and after death, it will become a crazy resentful spirit, which will cause harm to one party.

certainly!Even if the transformation is complete, after being a ghost for a long time, you may slowly go crazy, or get tired of this "eternal life", and take the initiative to ask the priest to give yourself a relief.

In addition, after becoming an undead, there will be many inconveniences in life.

Some undead are afraid of light, and some undead suffer from "blood addiction" and will actively attack living beings.Moreover, all undead have a passive skill called "Soul Erosion". If the souls that are not strong enough are in contact with them for a long time, they will gradually become weak and eventually get sick and die.

Therefore, once undead are discovered in many human settlements, no matter who the other party was in life, they will do everything possible to eliminate them.And this business is often taken over by the local priests, because magic is the most powerful force in this world to restrain the undead.

Because of this, when Lude found out that he was "attacked" by an undead while sleeping in the temple at night, he was more surprised than surprised.

Rats dare to jump on cats' faces these days! ?

Miss Undead, who was captured on the spot, was surrounded by a group of goddesses, crying in a standard "duck sitting" with pear blossoms in the rain. Facts have proved that ghosts also have lacrimal glands.

Seeing her pitiful doormat appearance made Lude a little bit unbearable.

"I said, Miss Undead, can you stop crying first?"

Hearing Lude questioning herself, the female ghost with a translucent body raised her head timidly. Aina at the side saw that her long hair almost completely covered her entire face, so she stretched out her hands to the sides. The body allows her to easily contact the spirit body.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, this female ghost is quite handsome, and she was a very cute young girl when she was alive.

"What's your name? Why did you come into my dream?"

"I, my name is Eleven, Eleven Carter. I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted you to give me back my bones."

"Your bones?"

Hearing that the female ghost Elaine asked him for a bone, Lu De suddenly remembered that when he was cleaning the ruins of the underground sewer of the temple, he collected a skeleton, and it should be Elaine's.

"Is it the underground one?"

"Well. That's me."

Miss Ghost pointed at herself with her little finger, then looked around tremblingly.The relationship between the undead and the living is mutual restraint. Whether people are afraid of ghosts or ghosts are afraid of people depends on whichever is more vital and negative.

Therefore, in the eyes of Elaine, there is one in this room, all of them are giants like little suns, and she is the only cute newcomer in the middle who is shivering under the strong onlookers.

She knew very well that with her meager strength alone, she was no match for the "ghosts and sorrows" in front of her, so she begged pitifully, that the bosses could let her go for the sake of her never harming anyone. Ghost life.

If a living person said this, Lu De would not believe it.

He was a policeman in his previous life, and he still remembers that on the first day he joined the job, an old senior at his work unit threw him a stack of photos, asking him to judge how many murderers there were based on his appearance alone.Lude looked at it for a long time, expressing that he was not sure, but the old man smiled slightly and told him a shocking fact.

These five photos belonged to a vicious criminal gang. In the 90s, they ran around in the north and committed crimes. They specialized in killing people and stealing goods on the highway, and they never left anyone alive.By the time all of them were arrested and brought to justice, at least [-] passing long-distance truck drivers had been killed by their gang.If they were just looking at their faces, no one would have thought that these honest-looking farmers would kill so cruelly.

However, just when Lude was about to show his professionalism and carefully interrogate the female ghost in front of him, Hume whispered on the side.

"It seems that I'm not lying. Didn't you find that she smells very clean?"

"Smell?"

Seeing Lude's puzzled face, it seemed that he really didn't understand, so Hume told him a common sense that almost all priests in this world except him knew, that is, the more evil the undead, the heavier the rotten smell on the body. The image will also become very hideous and terrifying.

As for the Eleven in front of you, if it wasn't for her translucent body and messy long hair, it would be difficult for you to regard her as a ghost.

Realizing that what Hume said made sense, Lude suddenly felt a little bit difficult.

If what was in front of her was an evil spirit that caused harm to the world, then Lude would definitely not have any hesitation, and immediately a holy light hit her out of her wits.But now there is a good ghost in front of him, which makes Lude a little bit hesitant to do it.
