The legendary path of the abandoned half-elf

"Here's the thing, here's some paper evidence."

At the dispatch office, he took out the fresh soul powder that the evil spirit had just dropped to prove that he had completed the commission. After getting the money, Lorenno went to the city guard station, explained the situation to the chief here, and handed him the evidence he found. , it will be none of her business after that.

"Miss Finoa, what does the city guard usually do?"

"Look at the situation from multiple aspects this way."

Finoa, who accompanied her, said: "The situation of the nobles in the city, the situation of the deceased, the control of the city by the dispatch office, etc. Generally speaking, the result of a noble couple killing each other is that the dispatch office handed over the matter to the person behind the deceased. Families, they will negotiate among themselves.”

"Profit comes first, I understand~"

Lorenno nodded and turned the topic back to the Blighter: "After going to the Noble District, I found three places where plants often die and have abundant negative energy. There is the largest manor in the city, a cemetery, and a building. Can you ask the City Guard to check on the old house?"

"Okay, I will make arrangements when the time comes, but Shaluo must be more vigilant and don't reveal the Druid's spell."

Finoa agreed and seriously reminded Lorenno: "After investigation, four or five druids have died tragically inexplicably, and they were killed instantly, with traces of thorns on their bodies."

moment……

"I know, she and I will be careful."

"Humph, not really."

Saruman looked at the newly dead Druid who was tortured by him in the dungeon and snorted coldly. He flicked the seeds full of negative energy into the Druid's wound. Soon, the soul-covering vine grew and embedded itself in the Druid's body. , as the chains were untied, he who transformed the undead creature let out a dull and meaningless groan.

The private soldiers at his disposal in the Duke's manor said in fear: "Sir, all the 32 people who have entered the city so far have

The druids have all been dealt with. "

"Keep looking. It's not them. There must be some druids hiding."

"Yes!"

After the soldiers left, Saruman stroked his work with satisfaction, followed him to the small door of the manor and let him go out. After walking aimlessly for a while with the dead Druid, he suddenly woke up with a sudden jolt. Come over and look at the surrounding environment with doubts on your face.

He remembered that he was eating in a restaurant, which was strange...

However, the druid quickly put the matter behind him and settled in Black Pigeon City according to his original plan.

Saruman, who was secretly observing, was very pleased with the success of the experiment. He used the soul-covering vine to bind the soul in his body, and then used magic to adjust the memory time of the undead to before he was captured, and then modified some memories, so that the state was the same as usual. An alternative corpse puppet was made.

The body of this plant corpse developed by Saruman is seemingly alive. As long as they are not paladin or priest, ordinary rangers or professionals cannot see the difference.

But when he thought that he hadn't caught the druid who ruined his ritual, Saruman's originally happy mood quickly sank. He looked at the time, talked to the servants in the manor with a smile, returned to the room, and locked the door. A fanatical smile immediately appeared behind the door and window.

Opening the box, the Blighter dripped the water of life into the tentacles. The tentacles grew again, and the voice of the master he believed in became more clearly visible: "More... I want more..."

"Ah~, dear master~, please wait a little longer," he knelt down. "When I have complete control of the Duke, I can give you a good meal."

As if he understood Saruman's words, the tentacles no longer urged him, but stretched out between his eyebrows, and the negative energy aura became stronger again.

The tentacles retracted into the box. Saruman restrained his surge in strength and closed the box gratefully. But when he put the box back on his chest, the old man showed a disdainful smile for an instant.

[Father, there must be something wrong with him! 】

[Eri, shut up!Look at my body, do you think it's fake?Or do you want me to die early and inherit my title? ! 】

Eavesdropping on the quarrel between Earl Charles and the Earl's son Eri through the negative energy plant, Saruman smiled again. The Earl was about to be in his hands, but his son was in trouble and had to find time to kill him.

The Blighter stroked his beard and thought, preparing to go to the Assassin's Guild.

Chapter 267 Sha Luo and Childhood Playmate Mina

On the busy street, everything was as usual. The druid girl Shaluo was wearing normal coarse clothes as a disguise and was searching the streets for any information that might be related to the Blighted Ones. Unfortunately, she gained very little.

"Ugh……"

The aimless search obviously failed to find any useful information. When she was about to go back to the hotel in despair, someone hesitantly called her name from behind her: "Shaluo?"

The girl turned around warily and saw the person in front of her shouting in surprise: "Mina!"

Standing in front of Shaluo was a girl wearing a loose robe. She was her childhood playmate and came from another sect that had close ties with the Gray Forest Sect.

"Shaluo, why are you here!"

Seeing that it was indeed Qingmei from her childhood, the Druid named Mina happily hugged Shaluo. Shaluo held her hand and said, "I am - on my way to travel, and you."

She originally wanted to tell Mina the information about Saruman the Blighter, but thinking that this might bring danger to Mina, Saluo stopped talking and only said that she was traveling with others.

"I'm just staying here with my brother for a few days, and we'll leave in a few days," Mina smiled, holding Shaluo's hand, "Let's go to the restaurant and talk."

"Okay."

Shaluo didn't notice anything strange about Mina, and exchanged recent events with her at the nearby dessert shop.

The two chatted for a long time, and Shaluo looked up at the sky with unfinished thoughts: "It's time for me to go, my companions are still waiting for me."

"Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow."

Mina smiled naturally, watching Shaluo go further and further away. The three holes that the vines penetrated her body were twisting under the loose robe. The girl who had been dead for a long time was unconscious.

……

"Then it's up to you. I will provide you with favorable conditions."

Passing the card in his hand to the Assassin's Guild, Saruman slowly walked out of their stronghold. At this moment, the soul-covering vine brought him some interesting information.

"Oh, another druid?"

The Blighter muttered to himself, received the message and raised his brows. The name of Druid Shaluo fell into his ears. The Druid with the adventurer team should not be what he was looking for, but he had to be on guard.

In his heart, Saruman was thinking of striking first and preparing to use the count's power to kill this team in one fell swoop. However, when he learned that there was a high-level assassin in the team and the recently famous "Blood Beast" Lorenno, his expression changed. Minor changes.

Standing on the deserted street, Saruman, who was cautious by nature, decided to give in to see when they would leave.

"We have found out where those three locations are."

In the evening, the five people who had dispersed reunited at the hotel. The wolf and the constructed girl didn't have to think too much. Elsa still ate and ate, and Vita stayed in the city's library to borrow books.

Finoa found out many things through the evening time

, enough for them to use as a reference: "The first is the largest house, which is the main residence of Earl Charles here. It is considered an ancestral property. We probably have to rely on ourselves to get in. It is the most difficult to explore."

"Then there is the cemetery. There are abandoned mass graves there. There are many corpses. The undead creatures inside have not been cleaned up yet. However, they all have earth-bound properties, so they can be cleaned up every year. That place only needs to be approved by the city guard. You can enter.”

"As for the abandoned house you mentioned, Miss Lorenno, it is just an ordinary house. It was said to be haunted many years ago, but in fact it was just a noise caused by beggars trying to take possession of that house."

"It's impossible," the half-elf girl denied. "I really feel the strong negative energy. It's difficult for ordinary people to survive in it."

"That should be something that happened recently. The abandoned house is also the easiest to enter."

"The five of us will go to the abandoned house first, then the mass graves, and finally pay a visit to the count."

Elsa, who was lying on the bed with her little white feet dangling, replied: "Arnold, you are the captain, we all listen to you."

"Ah, I have something to report." After Finoa finished speaking, Shaluo, who met his childhood friend, felt that he still needed to explain this matter to his teammates, "I saw a living Drew in the city. Yi, her name is Mina, she was my childhood playmate, why don’t you go find her first to get some information.”

"Okay, do you want us to follow?"

Saluo was just about to say that there was no need, but in the end she was still a little afraid that the Blighter would come to her door but she could not defeat her. Although she was very angry with Saruman in her heart, she was not as stupid as a berserker: "Let's go together, I will introduce it to you. one time."

……

After waiting for the time agreed upon with Mina, Shaluo came to the previous dessert shop and saw Mina sitting at the dining table. He stretched out his hand to greet her: "Mina!"

She turned around and saw the curious eyes of Lorenno and others. The expressions of two people in the team changed slightly and then returned to their original state.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the blood beast Lorenno..."

The half-elf girl smiled and nodded, activating her spiritual senses at the same time. She became more cautious in her heart. Although the blood in the girl in front of her was still flowing, there were more signs of life and less blood vessels than there should be. .

parasitic?

This was Lorenno's first thought. After all, his sense of danger was not activated, which meant that the Miss Mina in front of him had no ill intentions and could not bring any danger to them. It meant that she was safe. This happens when parasitic plants become entangled in the body.

Uncertain, she strengthened her senses, but this time the exploration made Lorenno unable to sit still in the chair. She found that the flowing blood was just an illusion, and the concentration of life energy in Mina's body was not enough to keep her alive! !

Lorenno stood up slightly and prepared for battle. Fenoa grabbed the half-elf girl's arm and shook her head, signaling not to act rashly or alert the enemy.

After a brief conversation, Lorenno left on the pretext that the team had a commission. After returning to the hotel, Shaluo felt strange: "Lorenno, why are you looking at me like this?"

"That companion of yours may be dead."

what? !

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Sha Luo. She knew that Lorenno's magic sword had given her very strange abilities, and she only had some doubts about the news: "How did you feel it?"

When the half-elf girl told the news she had learned, Shaluo was in disbelief at first, then closed her eyes as if remembering something, and muttered: "When you get into a local rupture of blood vessels, tendons, etc. in your limbs, you can use the hollow The vines are connected, and as long as you are strong enough, you can control them well——"

Unspeakable anger radiated from Shaluo, and she said with red eyes: "Saruman must have done it."

Chapter 268 Avoid Horror Movie Scenes

There is a special spell in Shaluo's sect that allows plants to temporarily replace destroyed tissues, and then slowly generate new complete tissues, similar to the lower level of regeneration, but the time is extended.

This method of Saruman is very similar to the spell of the Gray Forest Sect. Saruman is sure that it is an improved one!

"But why does she behave so much like a living person? She doesn't realize that she is dead at all."

"Just use the soul-covering vine."

Lorenno reminded that four of the five people present had seen the soul-covering vines that could bind souls. The withered ones could directly control these negative energy plants. The clues were connected at once.

"Damn it, damn it!" Shaluo knocked on the table hard, and Lorenno patted her shoulder to comfort her. Although the half-elf girl did not have a childhood sweetheart, it should be similar to the feeling of the death of her closest friend.

At this juncture, Elsa, who understood the atmosphere, would naturally stop eating and think seriously: "But we still don't know where Saruman is, right?"

"There is no rush in this matter. Sooner or later, he will reveal his flaws. What is important is whether these controlled druids can still release spells. Which druids are controlled?"

Lorenno looked at Finoa: "Miss Finoa, can you help me find where the surviving druids are?"

"Just leave it to me to check whether they are dead," Finoa said seriously, "I can also tell whether they are alive or dead."

After the plan discussion was over, Finoa came alone outside the hotel and took out the communication crystal to report to the Intelligence Department about the upcoming chaos in Black Pigeon City.

"进"!z入【,!夜;袭";-的":月:费.'群;:】:.c.4:9.,3:"""6!，1:3";5."

"Shadow Crow No. 224, what's going on?"

"Reporting on the upcoming chaos in Black Pigeon City, a Blighter is approaching..."

Miss Assassin made a long story short and finished telling the important things. After confirming the accuracy and confidentiality, the intelligence department sent the intelligence to the analysis department of the empire. The busy analysis department immediately discovered that this was an opportunity to cause the nobles to suffer huge losses.

As long as Saruman is exposed, he may be able to cause a lot of casualties in the noble area, so that the empire will become the winner, of course, provided that he is in the noble area.

"Is it possible to judge Saruman's progress, what he is using for experiments, and can anyone provide him with shelter?"

"Currently unknown."

"Please continue to observe and kill the withered ones first."

"clear."

……

While the five-person group was making plans, a life-and-death battle occurred in the city.

"Run! Run!"

Eri, the earl's son, urged the wildebeest under him, with a hint of panic in his voice. Several figures shuttled through the dim streets, slowly gathering together.

'Damn it Saruman, for attacking me so quickly! '

Eri covered his injured arm and looked back at the Assassin's Guild members who were gradually catching up with him, wondering if there was any way to escape.

The city guardhouse is too far away from here, and his fiancée's house must be blocked. As for the other nobles in Black Pigeon City, thank God for not forcing themselves to be sent to Charles.

At this time, Urui already believed that the assassination was started by Saruman with the acquiescence of Charles. Even if he didn't know, with his father's devil-like appearance, going back would be a dead end. The son of the earl had no choice but to go back. Can go.

'Think quickly, who else can help...where else can I escape...'

The earl's son did not give up and carefully thought about his escape plan. At this moment, Eri suddenly remembered the old house that had become extremely dangerous due to Saruman's experiments. He gritted his teeth and decided to fight to the death.

The ring on Eri's hand lit up. He swung his right hand back, and a wall of fire blocking the street rose instantly, blocking most of his pursuers.

Level 4 [Fire Wall Technique]!

The one on the eaves was not hindered and could continue to pursue without stopping. The son of the earl ran towards the place of narrow escape without stopping for a moment.

As long as you get to that place... As long as you get to that place! ! !

Soon, Eri discovered an abandoned house that looked normal but a little dilapidated. He let his favorite horse hit the iron door with its head, rushed into the garden, and then the whole horse crashed into the house.

The door automatically closed with a "bang" in the absence of wind. The assassins stopped outside the door for a moment. According to their years of intelligence, the so-called haunting was just man-made. It didn't take long for them to get the order and go in together.
