"We don''t know what this is!"
Four knights were invited into the cabin by asho, and took the ''moving body'' in by the way.
"We were originally the troops in the northern city, and we were also searching for suspicious people nearby. Recently, some hunters who went up the mountain said they found some suspicious figures." the knights who had just recovered from the shock slowly talked about their experience at this time.
Troops in northern cities.
That is, those cities that have been regrouped together. The north of the empire is very depressed. Only big cities can have people. The four knights are the troops there.
As for what they said, they heard someone report
Even people who live in cities will still go hunting in the mountains. Because of the past war, not only the land where people live, but also the animals are not very good, resulting in few forest prey around the city. Of course, some people and mercenaries will choose to hunt in a distant place.
They also reported the situation. They said that when they were in the wild, they would always see some strange figures in the forest. They were very fast, but they couldn''t find them when they looked carefully.
You know, this area used to be a place left over by the war. The residents of the town have moved away long ago. There will be no one.
The speed of this strange figure is not reassuring.
"So the count asked us to come and have a look, and I heard that people from the imperial capital received the same news, so they placed a signal bomb according to the requirements of the Imperial Army!"
AI Xiu probably understood the origin of each other. They were troops from the nearest big city. They also came to look for those living people!
"And then?" asked Warren.
"We went deep into the woodland and looked for the place according to the source, but we didn''t find anything for a day or two... Finally, we finally saw a dark shadow passing through the forest tonight. We were originally six people, but we didn''t expect each other to kill us quickly in the night, and then ran here."
Besides speaking, the man''s eyes also revealed an expression of fear.
There are only four of the six people... It means that one died in the pursuit.
This is probably why, when I just saw each other, the shadow ran from behind faster.
"They won''t die at all. Look at that hand. I cut it off, but he can still move!"
The man pointed to the dead body that had been completely penetrated by ice crystals next to the fire.
Igunia''s magic almost broke each other''s body, but the broken arm still moved, and climbed towards the living place a little bit!
Warren hurried forward and knocked down with his magic wand.
The rotten arm is connected with a little flesh and blood. Most of them are exposed phalanges, and they have been for a long time.
There was no blood for a long time. Those bones were frozen. When they were knocked hard, they broke and the meat pieces were broken... But what''s more strange is that the bone of the middle wrist was not broken, and there was a middle finger. It could move slowly. The middle finger was moving.
"Damn it, what the hell is this? Won''t it die?"
Seeing this scene, even the erudite AI Xiu was startled. He could move even when he became like this.
In his anger, Warren directly threw the bone of his wrist and middle finger into the fire in front of everyone
"See if you can move!"
The flame gave a sudden beat.
The fireworks instantly burned into a blue flame in the center, which looked very strange.
But the middle finger finally couldn''t move under the fire... Slowly, as the blue fireworks returned to normal again, it became completely motionless.
"It seems that what they are afraid of is fire," said AI Xiu, who was glad that he had just used flame magic.
In fact, several people took a look around, and then threw in the moving toes in the bones. The situation was the same. After burning, they didn''t move.
"I see. It''s a flame!"
"Where on earth did you meet this monster? Is there anything else?"
"In the forest two kilometers away from here, there was only one when we found it. Now we don''t know what happened," said another man among the Knights.
AI Xiu stood up and approached this pile of scattered bones again. As long as it was the joint part, it would still move. Even the ribs without chest were still fluctuating like breathing
"It''s strange. I''ve never seen such magic."
For a moment, ashoe couldn''t think of what it was or what kind of magic could cause such an effect.
These are clearly dead bodies, but they can move like living people. He especially looked for the mark of magic on the skull and other bones, whether it would be the masterpiece of alchemists, but after looking for it for a long time, there was no trace. It was completely a dead body.
"Mentor, do you know this thing?"
Shake your head.
"I don''t know for the time being. I''ve never seen such magic, nor is it the product of alchemists." ashoe couldn''t answer.
But igunia had an idea about these moving bodies
"Did your Excellency the witch think of something?" suddenly a knight said.
Igunia was the only woman in the team, and she was beautiful enough. During the conversation in the middle, the Knights noticed her, so a little change in her expression was seen.
"No, I don''t know."
Egunia said nothing, but something else came to her mind.
It''s a story.
To be exact, it was the stories Sean told himself... It was the same in winter at that time. When he was still in Tyler MIA Town, he would often rely on the other party to tell some stories he had never heard of.
At that time, I even thought I was going to be a baroness, so I was very interested in the whole town. Even Sean''s house was decorated according to the way I like.
The night in the town was boring, and igunia often pestered Sean to tell the story.
Although later I also regretted why I didn''t have the courage at the beginning, maybe the result will be different.
But I was really shy at that time. The most activity in the evening was listening to Sean''s stories... I didn''t know there were so many stories in each other''s head.
This creature is mentioned in the story of one of the princes who became a dark knight and killed his father.
Undead.
Even the name igunia can remember. The creature in front of us is like the one in Sean''s story.
Strange, it''s just a story. Has Sean seen it before? Or have you heard of it?
"NIA, did you think of something?" Ashu asked again.
"It''s just a story..."
