Chapter 112 Dark Night Ringtone


    On this planet, the status of the orcs is very low.


    This does not simply refer to social status. Even at the combat level, the status of the Beast is quite low. If compared with RPG, then the Beast is actually equivalent to the slime or goblin monsters that players need to deal with when they first appear. Even the Rat Man is more threatening than them.


    After all, rat people can also make various weapons, so they can fight against various races back and forth. But the orcs are different. They don’t even make weapons, they will only rely on their bodies and minions to fight. At most, they will pick up some weapons from the victims from the battlefield to use them. This is their limit.


    Of course, it is unknown how useful these unmaintained weapons can be.


    At least for Duanmuhuai and others, these beastmen did not have much threat even if they attacked.


    As the most conspicuous existence in the entire team, Duanmu Huai naturally attracted the attention of most beastmen. They let out crazy roars, rushed up and waved their weapons at Duanmu Huai, trying to prove their strength with the death of this terrifying existence.


    Unfortunately, their blades cannot even leave a trace of scar on Duanmu Huai''s power armor, and they will be directly bounced away. Duanmu Huai held the hammer tightly in both hands and swung it out hard, knocking all the beastmen in front of him away, turning them into a pile of soft mud.


    Ojisi was still sitting on Duanmuhuai''s shoulders. She held the book in one hand and opened the other hand, her fingers trembled slightly, and the almost invisible doll thread formed a fatal trap in front of her. It was like a meat grinder with an invisible blade spinning, any beastman who dared to break into it was finely cut into sausage.


    As for whether there are fat and thin people on it, it is not the issue that Aojis needs to worry about.


    In contrast, An did not make much move. Because her magic power was too strong, Duanmu Huai asked her to just hide behind and use some primary spells like "Manalia Magic Missile" - it was enough to deal with these beastmen.


    Because Duanmu Huai attracted most of the attention of the beastmen, it was like T, which grabbed the beastmen''s hatred. The frost giant bear group behind naturally released the battle. Cliff waved his giant sword with both hands and charged at the beastmen under the cover of his companions. In the rear, the sharpshooter bent his bow and arrows and shot the beastmen to the ground. Even the employer Kevin was not idle. He held a sword in one hand and the other was holding a shield in the other, and he was very cautious. But no orc who confronts Kevin can survive a turn... He can always lose his balance at the most appropriate time and then behead his enemies with one sword.


    “Bang!”


    When the last beastman fell, the sky had dimmed. Everyone raised their heads and found that the surroundings had already become dark.


    "Huh... I really didn''t expect that the incident would be delayed by these beasts."


    Cliff kicked the orc corpse beside him fiercely and spat fiercely.


    "Don''t be so anxious. In any case, we have eliminated a group of orcs close to Midenheim, which can be regarded as protecting others from their harm."


    In contrast, Kevin seemed much calmer, but he was just right.


    Because it was getting late, and everyone was already a little tired when fighting with the Orcs, and some people were a little injured, everyone decided to stay in the hotel in the village for a night today and set off again tomorrow morning. As for the corpses of these beastmen, they gathered together and burned them with fire, which was also a warning to other invaders.


    But... it''s really strange here.


    "Squeak--"


    Duanmuhuai pushed open the hotel door, walked into the hall, and looked around, and saw that the hotel was empty and there was no crowd at all. The tables, chairs, and benches were neatly stacked together, and there was no trace of fighting.


    "This is really strange, isn''t it?"


    At this time, Kevin also walked over, stared at the hall in front of him, and spoke to Duanmuhuai, who also nodded. After turning the orcs into a fire, everyone conducted a simple search of the village, but found that the whole village seemed very wrong, with no traces of fighting, no blood or corpses. It was as if everyone in the entire village suddenly disappeared overnight, without resistance, no struggle, and nothing, as if they had left this existence at the same time, and they were missing their whereabouts.


    "Be careful, don''t drink the water here, and don''t eat the food here."


    Duanmu Huai nodded. He didn''t know what was going on. It was not that Duanmu Huai had no guesses. In fact, there were too many people who could do this, which made him unable to determine who the murderer was.


    Soon, other mercenaries returned to the hotel and blocked it. Most of them went to the guest room on the second floor to sleep, while Duanmuhuai, Aojisi and An stayed in the lobby on the first floor to be responsible for the night watch.


    "I always feel a little excited."


    Sitting beside Duanmuhuai, staring at the burning fireplace in front of her, An excitedly looked around. It was no wonder that this princess was probably the first time she was watching in such a place. For a "good kid" like her, not to go to bed in time was considered a bad thing, let alone this "stay up late" behavior, which made An extremely excited.


    "If you get used to it, you will find that this is actually a very boring job."


    Duanmuhuai leaned against the wall, stared at the surroundings and shook her head.


    "Okay, you can take a break, and I will notify you if there is anything."


    As early as just now, Duanmu Huai released the skull of the investigation and servo. If there is anyone who wants to cause trouble, he will definitely get a report.


    Soon, the night gradually became deeper.


    Duanmu Huai had already closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. An was excited at first, but gradually he could not resist the erosion of the Sandman and fell asleep on the table. Only Aojis was still sitting in front of the fireplace, flipping through a collection of fairy tales in the light of the fire.


    I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a faint sound came.


    "Dingling...Dinglingling..."


    Ojis raised his head and looked outside in confusion, but there was nothing outside the hotel except darkness. But at the same time, a circle of azure aura suddenly appeared on An''s body, like some kind of protective spell. Seeing this, Aoji Si stood up and came to Duanmuhuai''s side.


    "Owner."


    "Um?"


    Hearing Ojisi''s voice, Duanmu Huai immediately opened his eyes.


    "What''s wrong? What happened?"


    "I don''t know, but... Miss An..." At this time, without saying anything, Duanmu Huai also saw the magic barrier emerging from An, which made him frown and stood up. Duanmu Huai certainly knew that although An had a carefree personality, as a princess of a country and the strongest mage in Manalia, An had always done a perfect job in her protection. Her protective spell is actually touched, that is to say... someone is launching an attack?


    what is going on?


    “Dong…Dong…”


    At this moment, Duanmuhuai heard footsteps coming from the upper floor. He raised his head and looked up. He saw that the doors of the guest rooms on the second floor opened one by one, and then the mercenaries sleeping inside slowly walked out. However, they were not awake, but were slowly walking down the stairs and heading towards the hotel door as if they were sleepwalking.


    “Stop!”


    Duanmuhuai blocked the door and tried to stop the mercenaries. However, they seemed to turn a blind eye to Duanmuhuai''s existence and just walked forward. Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai coughed helplessly, then he stared at everyone and roared suddenly.


    "Stop it!"


    Accompanied by Duanmu Huai''s roar like thunder, the mercenaries who were originally sleepwalking suddenly woke up. Their confused eyes gradually returned to clearness, and when they saw the situation in front of them, everyone was confused and didn''t know what was going on.


    "Wow, Mr. Knight, what''s wrong? What''s going on?"


    An was also awakened by Duanmu Huai''s roar, and at this moment, Kevin was fully armed from the guest room and ran out. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was also stunned.


    "What''s going on? Is anyone attacking?"


    "No."


    Duanmu Huai shook his head, and then repeated what Aojisi said just now.


    "Ringtone???"


    Kevin frowned.


    "I didn''t hear any ringtones."


    "I seem to hear it..."


    Unlike Kevin, Cliff seemed a little uneasy.


    "I did hear the ringtone in my dream just now, and then it seemed to guide me to go somewhere..."


    "Dingling---"


    However, before Cliff finished speaking, suddenly, another faint ringtone blew along the night wind, and when he heard the ringtone, the mercenaries'' eyes became confused again. Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai snorted again, which made the mercenaries who were originally in confusion restore Qingming again.


    "It seems that this ringtone has some special magic."


    “Of course, and it’s not just useful to us.”


    Duanmuhuai turned his head and looked out the window - now outside the window, you can see dark figures slowly moving out. It was nothing else, it was the burnt corpse of the beastman who was killed by Duanmuhuai and the mercenaries before. At this moment, these burnt corpses were slowly moving forward, leaving the village like zombies, and heading to the depths of the dark mountains.


    “We must set out right away.”


    Kevin made a decision immediately.


    "This ringtone is very likely the culprit for the disappearance of those villagers. We must find out the root of all this!"


    "But we have no way to resist the ringtone."


    Cliff frowned. When he heard the ringtone just now, he felt his brain begin to feel drowsy, as if he was sleepy and about to fall asleep. Obviously, it wasn''t a normal ringtone, but some kind of magical ringtone.


    With magic...


    "An, do you have a way to solve this problem?"


    Duanmu Huai looked at An. No matter what, this princess is also Manalia''s most powerful mage, so there should be a way to deal with it. “


    "Well... this should work on the spiritual level? No, soul level? Anyway, I can try it."


    As he spoke, An raised his hand and soon, along with the singing, magical brilliance fell from the sky and fell on the mercenaries.


    "This is a spell that can protect against immune mental control and should play a certain role."


    "Dingling..."


    At this moment, as if to verify An''s words, the ringtone rang again, but this time, the mercenaries did not respond at all.


    "very good."


    Seeing this, Duanmu Huai nodded, and Cliff and Kevin also looked at each other, then looked at their subordinates.


    "Immediately, fully armed and ready to set off. Let''s go and see who is doing it!"
