Chapter 360



Only the sound of the horse hooves following the cavalrymen could be heard from time to time.

it was not until they were close to frostdew town that the whole carriage suddenly stopped.

this sudden change instantly made everyone in the carriage feel as if they were facing a great enemy. they hurriedly held their weapons and prepared to be on guard.

“What’s going on?” Zhao Xu immediately asked in a low voice.

“my lord, there were a few wild wolves surrounding the tree stump in front. However, when we got close, the wolves were scared and ran away. The horses were also frightened and stopped.”

at this moment, the coachman seemed to be in disbelief. he paused for a moment before he continued, ” there seems to be a corpse tied to the stump, but it looks like a lamb. ”

“Let’s go take a look.” zhao xu’s sharp senses told him that something was off.

ellington immediately turned his head. in his impression, mr. zhongxia never cared too much about trivial matters.

He had only gotten involved in Madam Betty’s matter after hearing the exclamations.

Zheng xinyun followed him silently. She had been trained as a cleric and her thoughts were clear.”Wolves don’t tie lambs to tree stumps when hunting. Moreover, this place isn’t a hilly terrain, so it’s too strange for lambs to appear here.”

“What is it related to?” Ellington asked.

At this moment, Zheng xinyun lowered her head slightly, and the look in her eyes began to become more serious. some kind of sacrifice? ”

Madam Betty, who was holding her son and didn’t want to move, suddenly changed her expression.

She touched the partition of the car directly, and from the coldness of her fingertips, she knew that it had been installed with additional steel plates and was very strong.

She gently put down the child in her arms, revealed a gentle expression, and followed everyone out of the carriage.

Then she immediately signaled the cavalrymen who followed her to look after the carriage.

after her reorganization, in addition to her original nine guards changing to warhorses, she also specially added three cavalrymen who were good at defense to follow them.

As for the other cavalrymen, she had arranged for them to go elsewhere.

after getting off the carriage, zhao xu realized that the place where they had temporarily stopped was a cemetery with many tombstones. this must be the place where the residents of frost dew town buried their relatives.

After the death of Arthur’s residents, only a small number of them chose to be cremated. Most of them would choose to be buried.

however, corpse control was a level 3 divine spell and level 4 arcane spell, and it was so famous that zhao xu could use it right now.

he could directly turn the bones or corpses of dead creatures into skeletons or zombies, and they would even accept his orders.

this was also the key spell for the necromancers to form the undead army.

For example, Zhao Xu’s spell that could summon high-level undead would only create powerful undead creatures. He was still relying on the Necromancer’s staff, which was combined with divine fragment, to control the other party.

therefore, most people who chose to be buried would consider the risk of their bodies being transformed into undead creatures in the future.

in the end, most of the civilians would choose to be buried in the designated area designated by the church.

at this moment, zhao xu walked over to the lamb’s body that had been gnawed open and gnawed so hard that it looked like nothing had happened. he looked at it carefully.

after a while, the others also came closer and observed.

The other cavalrymen were responsible for keeping an eye on the surroundings and guarding the carriage. Chuck, the more experienced chief guard in charge of Madam Betty’s safety, also came over to observe.

zhao xu had initially paid attention to this level 1 warrior with a full beard, but he hadn’t really paid much attention to him.

“Can you tell?” Zhao Xu asked as he stood next to the corpse of the Lamb, which was already a little rotten and had flies flying around it.

When Madam Betty saw it, she couldn’t help but feel dizzy. After she finally stood up, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves.

clinton had already been through a lot, so he didn’t have any psychological problems right now. he went right up to zhao xu and even took out a pair of gloves to put on. he started to rub the wound on the lamb that had been cut open.

zheng xinyun had spent most of her time in the church these days. this was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene. although she did not faint from the blood, she still felt a little numb.

After she slowly held her breath, she also knelt down and leaned against Zhao Xu to observe him.

Zhao Xu just nodded silently at the two of them.

Due to Arthur’s realism, the first time the players came into contact with corpses, especially those of humans, they would feel uncomfortable.

generally, only medical students could adapt without any obstacles. other people often needed to undergo psychological adjustment.

even after transmigrating, many players realized that this was a real world, so they didn’t dare to really attack when they were fighting with others. there were also cases where they were killed by others after hesitating for a while.

“It seems to be two damages.” clinton came to this conclusion after examining the different shapes of the wounds.

It just so happened that he had also studied human anatomy in his instructor’s class, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

“That’s right.” Zhao Xu confirmed.

“Someone must have tied the Lamb to this tree stump.” Ellington pointed at the thick hemp rope that was used to tie the lamb’s neck. The more it struggled, the tighter the rope would be.

the other end of the rope was fixed to a dead tree stump that was only half the height of a man.

” the dead knot was specially tied, which means that it wasn’t fixed at the last moment. it’s completely intended to leave the lamb here for slaughter. ” zhao xu added.

” so, this lamb was immediately caught for food. when we saw the body of the lamb after the wolves left, it was actually the second hunt. ” zheng xinyun also reacted. ” is it because of the sacrifice? that’s why they chose to be near the cemetery.”

at this time, she was also fully awake.

Even though she had just entered the game, she knew that anything related to sacrificial rituals in Arthur was never a small matter.

“it’s the exact opposite.”

At this moment, Zhao Xu stood up and looked over the tombstones that were stuck into the small mound. His gaze went past the end of the tombstones and landed on the quiet Valley in the distance.

“The cemetery itself has been blessed by divine spells. For example, the 2nd circle ‘Holy blessing’ uses positive energy to bless an area so that it can’t transform into undead creatures. The disadvantage is that it can only last for two hours per level, and the range is limited.”

as for the fifth-circle Holy residence spell, in addition to being able to solidify spells such as ‘detection magic’,’ help’, and ‘Death Ward’, it can also prevent an area from transforming into undead creatures, but this is only common in the graveyards of nobles.

considering the cost and the area, most of the graves of civilians are blessed with similar rituals. The disadvantage is that it may not be able to completely avoid being transformed into undead, but the difficulty of the transformation will increase sharply, and the range can be wide.

Then, Zhao Xu turned around and looked at the rest of the people. that’s why the other party didn’t want anything to happen to the Lamb that was bitten to death. That’s why they specifically chose to be near the cemetery. Otherwise, if there were intact trees further away, it would be more difficult for the Lamb to break free from the binding.”

Zhao Xu’s team members all nodded at his analysis, and Madam Betty just smiled stiffly and agreed with him.

when zhao xu saw this, he finally understood.

It was just that when he first gave Madam Betty a hint spell, he did it to lower her negative emotions after hearing the word ” old witch “.

That was why he had arranged for the spell to be of the ” trigger ” type. Only after Madam Betty arrived at frostdew town would the thoughts she revealed to Zhao Xu be triggered by the hint spell.

even if they didn’t reach frostdew town within these 12 hours, the hint would directly lose its effect.

Because of this connection, Zhao Xu started to suspect that old ghost woman.

Captain, there’s a dilapidated house nearby, but we didn’t go in to search. at this moment, two cavalrymen who were patrolling nearby came back and reported.

Madam Betty, I’m afraid we’ll have to go and check it out. Your people can stand guard here. If there’s a problem, just send a signal. Zhao Xu said in a friendly manner, but his expression was very ambiguous.

madam betty shook her head. ” no, let’s go together. it’s our honor to cooperate with you, mr. priest. ”

“then let’s go together, madam betty.” Zhao Xu did indeed need information on the other party at a critical moment, so he invited them directly.

Not a single person present dared to question Zhao Xu for being a busybody.

In fact, when a priest found out about an evil sacrifice, he would be a fake priest if he didn’t pay attention or investigate it.

zhao xu’s behavior was very reasonable in everyone’s eyes. This was no longer a simple case of a lamb being eaten.

“I’ll walk in front, you guys follow.” zhao xu thought about it for a moment, then gave an order.

At this time, he estimated the situation. It just so happened that frostdew town wasn’t far from here, so he directly began to cast a spell on himself.

“Mental energy protection!”

as a ball of light shone into zhao xu’s body, it made him immune to the damage to his attributes caused by the use of supreme magical control.

However, he was not in a hurry to continue casting spells. He had to wait for a key specialty to arrive.

He silently looked at his character stats.

when he had been promoted to level 6, he had obtained a character level bonus ability that could be obtained when he leveled up every three times.

When he was a level 5 wizard metamagic, he had chosen ‘spell endurance’, and’ iron will ‘had been exchanged for’ spontaneous casting’.

this time, for the level 6 specialty, he directly chose the one with the lowest difficulty. basically, no one had a threshold to master it, but he could use the costly ” spell upgrade. ”

After reading the ancient teaching manual of this specialty in the carriage, he combined it with the characteristics of this specialty that he had previously simulated with potential points.

just as zhao xu had expected, this notification appeared in his head before he arrived at frostdew town.

[ adventurer zhongxia, you have obtained the ‘spell level up’ talent (level 6 character talent). ]
