miss mist go with the flow

After walking for a long time, two mercenaries stopped Jiao Shi's footsteps.

"Undead monster?" "It looks like a corpse monster, kill it!"

Two mercenaries rushed up.

The two mercenaries flew out at the same time, fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

The charred corpse stretched out its arms, intending to upgrade its flesh and blood, but a silver moon suddenly appeared on its forehead.

The two soul flames in the eye sockets trembled violently, and the scorched corpse clutched its forehead and wailed in pain. From its mouth that didn't even have vocal cords, it actually shouted a human voice:

"Damn Moon Elf, after so many years, even the contract written on paper has dissipated, but you still refuse to let me go?"

"Damn soul restraint, stop! I won't kill these two people, I promise!"

The silver moon disc on the scorched corpse's forehead slowly disappeared. It sat slumped on the ground, and it took a long time to stand up again.

It walked to the side of two unconscious mercenaries, took off the windbreaker of one of them, put it on itself, and found a mask from the package of the other, and stuck it on its face with hollow features.

Then put on mercenary boots, put on leather gloves, and pin the professional badge on his chest——

The charred corpse was disguised as a mercenary named "Ailite". This was an extremely poor disguise, and it would be seen through if you looked closely, but Ailite didn't care.

He walked all the way to the outskirts of the swamp, drawing the flesh and blood of several monsters on the way to fill the outline of his body. When he left the Badwater Swamp, Eliot looked like an ordinary mercenary wearing a mask, completely unexpected for a few hours. He was still a bone before.

Relying on the identity badge of a professional, Eliot successfully entered Misty Town.

Residents in the town are still worried about the beast horde last night, and many people are praising the militia team for their actions.

Listening to other people's conversations, Eliot learned that the current era is the 521st year of the new calendar.

"More than 300 years, not too long..."

According to his vague memory, Eliot found the cemetery area in Misty Town.

He walked into the old house below the cemetery area. There was a coffin in the living room, and an old and thin old man was lying in the coffin. The matching tombstone next to it read "Tom Nuckle, our old friend, The Eighth Gravekeeper of Misty Town".

If there hadn't been a beast tide incident, Old Tom would have been buried today.

This name was so similar to Eliot's former name, so he stayed for a while longer and took a closer look at the shriveled old man in the coffin.

With only a weak magical talent, not even enough to get started, his descendants have actually fallen to this point.

But it was precisely because of the death of this descendant that the Moon Elf withdrew the contract, and he was able to return to the sky and get rid of the shackles of Badwater Swamp.

Eliot looked at the wooden shelf by the window, the contract book had been taken away by the Moon Elf, and the chains that had troubled him for hundreds of years were finally freed.

He walked past the coffin, pressed on the top of Old Tom's head, silently said "It has been executed", then left without looking back, and walked into the cemetery.

A low-level thief, driving undead body snatchers, caused damage to the cemetery he once guarded, and stole what he left here!

Such sins are unforgivable!

……

Forget it, if the Moon Elf won't let him kill someone, then punish him and get back the lost property!

At noon, a few people walked over the small bridge outside Tianshui Town.

The leader is a young woman, wearing a delicate and small iron crown of thorns, long dark purple hair hanging down to her waist, and wearing a white long skirt. When walking, through the slits of the skirt, one can see that she is still wearing the same The trousers, which are almost the same color as the skin, further accentuated the slender legs.

The season is already winter, and the girls' dresses are not only pursuing beauty, but also keeping warm and cold, which is why they have this collocation.

The purple-haired woman is holding a long stick, followed by two men and two women, both of whom are not very old.

"Hello, we are going to Misty Town, we need to pass through here, please be convenient."

The purple-haired woman held an identity badge and showed it to the guard at the door.

She has a beautiful appearance, a gentle voice, and a warm smile. She is the kind of mature woman who makes getting along and talking very comfortable.

The guard was leaning against the pillar in a daze, but when he heard someone talking, he turned his head and looked.

The purple-haired woman nodded slightly.

The guard's eyes straightened in an instant. He quickly stood up straight, straightened his posture, cleared his throat, and said pretendingly, "Is it possible to borrow from our town? It's not impossible, but..."

The purple-haired woman saw the guard's intentions, but her voice was still gentle: "Please check my identity badge carefully, it can save us a lot of trouble."

The guard frowned. These young men and women went out in pairs. Five of them couldn't make up three weapons. Who could they be?

But to be cautious, he still looked at the badge in the purple-haired woman's hand.

Orange Badge!

The pattern engraved on it is a pair of closed palms, with beautiful notes blooming from the palms.

Gospel Church!

The guard quickly threw out the idea of ​​taking advantage of it, and raised his hands respectfully, "It turns out that you are brothers and sisters from the Gospel Church, please come in! Tianshui Town is open to everyone at any time!"

The members of the Evangelical Church are all over the continent, and the guards have also been in contact with them, knowing the pros and cons, and dare not neglect them at all.

Moreover, being able to get the orange power badge of the Gospel Church shows that the sister in front of her is at least a senior deacon in the church, and her status is not ordinary.

The purple-haired woman stepped aside, motioned for her companions to go in first, and she was the last to leave.

When she passed the gate, she whispered to the guard: "The Gospel teaches that you must work sincerely when you are on the job, don't be negligent, don't be recognized by others, but don't be ashamed of yourself..."

The guard was overwhelmed and nodded quickly: "Sister, what you said is true, I will pay attention!"

The members of the evangelical church are mostly called brothers and sisters, and those who are related to them can also use similar names to appear intimate.

But as soon as "you" was added, the appellation immediately changed.

The purple-haired woman sighed, quickened her pace, and walked past the guard.

Where she passed, there was a faint sweet fragrance in the air, and the guard took a deep breath with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"Sarina, that person is not a member of the church, and he may not be able to accept the teachings of the gospel, so there is no need to talk to him like this." A woman in the companion whispered, "The church's recent decline in reputation is also related to our excessive missionary work. , to be appropriately restrained."

"I understand." The purple-haired woman said, "Thank you for reminding me, sister."

The five entered Tianshui Town and walked towards the east of the town without stopping.

Sweetwater Town is slightly larger than Misty Town, built along the river, and the terrain is flatter.

When passing by a certain hotel, Sharina suddenly wrinkled her eyes and looked up diagonally.

"I sensed the breath of black magic. It's on the second floor of the hotel. Do you want to go up and have a look?" She asked her companion's opinion.

"Then investigate, maybe it has something to do with the beast tide in the misty forest."

"Sarina is really powerful, we didn't realize it."

"Investigate, don't waste too much time."

Sharina walked into the hotel, first made a silent gesture to the boss behind the counter, then showed the badge of the Evangelical Church, pointed to the upstairs, and said in a low voice: "A certain guest upstairs may be Black Mage, we need to investigate. If it disturbs other guests, we will apologize and compensate you."

Black mages have a bad reputation in the empire. If you follow the official wanted list, there is an [-]% probability that a professional in the legal system is a black mage.

The innkeeper nodded repeatedly when he heard Sharina's words, expressing his willingness to cooperate.

The prestige of the Gospel Church is very high among the people. The members of the church have done a lot of practical things and are worthy of trust.

The boss took out a large bunch of keys from the drawer and handed them to Sharina.

Sharina made a gesture, and a companion accompanied her upstairs, while the other three guarded the various exits of the hotel.

The breath of black magic came from the left side of the stairs. Sharina followed the induction and walked all the way to the house at the end, finally determining the source.

She stopped outside the door softly, and was about to take the key to open the door, but a voice came from inside: "Guests outside the door, come in directly, it is not locked."

The companion looked at Sharina, who thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and opened the door to enter the room.

The person in the room was not some vicious black magician, but an old scholar, wearing a robe, sitting behind a desk, writing a book.

Not far from the old scholar, a little giant with half of his body wrapped in bandages was lying on the bed, his breathing was messy, and he seemed to be in a very painful state.

The movement of Sharina entering the door made the scholar raise his head.

"You are, Mr. Dekain?" Sharina recognized the identity of the scholar, and the emotions in her green eyes were both delighted and shocked.

The old scholar looked puzzled, "Who are you?"

Sharina took a deep breath, calmed down, and took out the badge for the third time, "Mr. Dekain, we are members of the Gospel Church."

"Evangelical Church?" Dekain put down his pen and pointed to Thorne on the bed, "Are you here for him?"

"Yes." Sharina said in a deep voice, "Mr. Dekain, what is the relationship between that gentleman and you, can you explain? He has a strong black magic aura."

"His name is Thorn, and he is the deputy head of the Black Wolf Mercenary Group." Dekain said, "I went to investigate the foggy forest this time, and I asked Captain Thorn to personally guard him. As for the black magic breath you mentioned... ...Oh, Captain Thorne, offended."

Decain stood up, went to the bed, and cut the bandage around Thorne's shoulder with a knife.

The skin under the bandage showed a strange scorched black, and a strand of blood just overflowed from the scorched black, which looked particularly oozing.

Sharina's expression remained unchanged, but her pupils shrank slightly.

"After we finished our investigation and sampling, we encountered a horde of beasts when we left Misty Town." Dikain said sadly, "If it was an ordinary horde of beasts, with the strength of Captain Thorne and the members of his mercenary group, There is no problem for us to escape safely. But the strange thing is that there is a monster we have never seen in the beast tide. It is very powerful. Captain Thorn fought desperately to save me, but those mercenaries failed Get out..."

"Condolences." Sharina clasped her hands together and whispered a few prayers.

"The monster has an ominous aura of undead. In addition, it also uses black magic. The black magic aura you sense may come from Captain Thorn's wound." Dekain said, "But Thorn is seriously injured now, it is inconvenient to take off the bandage and check carefully, please forgive me."

Sharina nodded, she took two steps forward, looked curiously at the pages on the desk, and her hair fell down on her chest, "Mr. Dekain, this is the southern border of the "Records of Imperial Products" you are creating. article?"

She is obviously a mature woman from her face to her figure, but when doing this action, Sharina has a girlish and naive feeling on her body, which looks a little cute.

Dekain quietly picked up the paper and handed it to Sharina, "That's right, it's about the foggy forest."

"Hmm..." Sharina's attention seemed to have really shifted from the black magic breath to the paper.

Dekain continued: "The monster that can use black magic and set off a beast tide seems to have come out of Badwater Swamp..."

ps: The shoulder and neck are very uncomfortable recently, can you recommend some reliable relief methods?

Volume 40: Chapter [-] Following the Clues

Sha Lina and the others didn't stay in the hotel for long. After learning that the culprit of the beast tide might be a monster from Badwater Swamp, the five of them left the hotel.

In the hotel room, Dekaen leaned against the window and watched the people of the Gospel Church go away, without saying a word for a long time.

Thorne, who was lying on the bed, got up and tore off the excess bandage.

He did have wounds left by black magic wounds, but they were only limited to his left shoulder. The body under the bandages was normal and did not affect his daily actions and battles.

"Master Dikain, you are really amazing, the Evangelical Church actually sent people to investigate the beast tide!" Thorne exclaimed.

His tone was very sincere, it didn't sound like a flattery, but an exclamation from the heart.

This is the skill that has been immersed in this way for many years, and ordinary young people can't learn it.

"Of course they will come." Dekain lowered his gaze and landed on Sharina's back, as if something was attracting his attention there, "After the beast tide happened, I sent a message to Jin immediately. The person in charge of Rose Ling Gospel Church. Their Gospel admonitions contain the tenets of helping the weak and resisting disasters, and it is impossible to stand idly by when encountering such a thing.”

Thorn still kept sighing, and said, "Just based on this, you deduced that their people will arrive in Tianshui Town at noon today, and there is a convict envoy among them?"

Deckin turned around, glanced at Thorne, and then turned back to the window, "You should still get along with me with the attitude you used to, your flattery is too forceful and too clumsy."

Thorn suddenly got stuck, and Dekain's words were too hurtful!

Can a naturalist be so proud? !

"Mr. Dekain—I'll just call you that. Do you have any arrangements for bringing people from the Gospel Church to Misty Town?" Thorne sorted out his emotions and continued: "As far as I know, the power of the Gospel Church Huge, very difficult to mess with, if they don't gain anything in Misty Town, they may blame you."

Seeing Sharina's back completely disappear from sight, Dekaen sighed, "It's just a small trick to delay time."

He saw the magic notes of the legendary mage Townsend Naker 400 years ago in the book of the undead that showed its prototype. According to the calculations in the notes, the undead mage did not actually die after he disappeared, but Hidden in Badwater Swamp.

The Book of the Dead was once held by Townsend. If he became a thief himself, he would definitely be found by the other party.

That being the case, let's throw out a hard bone that Townsend is not easy to chew for the time being, to buy time for his next action.

Time, his biggest problem is that enlightenment is too late, and there is not enough time at all!

"Let's go, let's go back to the station of the Black Wolf Mercenary Group." Dekaen turned and went back behind the desk, picked up the papers on the table, and said to Thorn by the way: "You are ready to face Commander Wilto questioned?"

Thorne took a deep breath, "I will follow your arrangement."

After leaving the hotel, Sharina and her companions left from the east gate of Sweetwater Town and embarked on the road to Misty Town.
