Chapter 31 Intruder (please read)
In this world, necromancers are divided into two schools.
One is to use corpses to create undead. They are called corpse stitchers. What they are good at is splicing and sewing corpses to create powerful corpse puppets.
The second is to use pure death energy to manifest the undead body that can be controlled. They are called gravekeepers.
Before the Claude family appeared, there were only corpse stitchers in the world.
Gravekeepers are the self-proclaimed name of the Claude family. Later, with the spread of the undead magic mastered by the Claude family, gravekeepers became a sect of necromancers alongside the corpse stitchers.
In the eyes of all the tomb keepers, the glory of the Claulund family and the mighty undead army that pushed them all the way were the beacons that illuminated the way forward for them.
Although the Crowlund family is now in decline, and the tomb-keepers are getting worse from generation to generation, some tomb-keepers firmly believe that the secret of how to become the strongest necromancer must be hidden in the Crowlund Manor. None of the members of the Claulund family knew.
After nightfall, the town of Hogg, which has not yet had a rich night life, is quiet, and most of the residents who have worked hard all day have rested. The newly installed street lights on the main roadside of the town illuminated the secluded bluestone streets, and a carriage drove out of the town towards the forest to the west.
The driver of the car looked extremely nervous. He looked around sensitively. Any disturbance would scare him.
He didn't want to take this business, especially if he still went to Claulund Manor, where there were really undead. If a child in the town cries at night, the adults will scare him, "The crying will attract the undead, and they will eat the disobedient children."
Although the undead in Claulund Manor have never been They have actively hurt people, and sometimes they can even be seen coming to town to buy things, but not everyone has the courage to face a talking skeleton.
But the coachman had to do this business because the customer was brought by the detective from the town’s police station.
As we go deeper into the forest, the light cast by the moonlight becomes darker and darker, and the fog gradually thickens.
Then a low roar like the wind sounded from all sides.
The coachman knew that it was not the wind, but the ghost of the undead hiding in the woods protecting Claulund Manor. If you continue to push inside, the ghost will attack. The gangsters in the town once tried to sneak into Claulund Manor to steal things. However, they were so frightened that they fled back without even seeing the walls of the manor. They almost died from a serious illness.
The doctor in the town said that he was cursed by the ghost using dark magic.
Curse!
Thinking of this, the coachman immediately pulled the horse forward.
He jumped down. The cramp in his calf made him fall down and gnaw on the mud. A cool breeze blew over his scalp. The frightened driver hurriedly got up, opened the door of the carriage and said to the passengers inside: "Sir, we have been surrounded by ghosts. We can't go any further inside, they will really kill us."
A very feminine voice sounded behind the coachman: "If you don't move forward, we will kill you too."
The coachman turned around and saw the passengers who should have been in the carriage. outside the car.
The other party was two people, both wearing high-collar windbreakers and wide-brimmed hats. Their appearance could not be seen clearly in the dim light. However, there is a big difference in their body shapes. One is strong and the other is thin, but they both exude an uncomfortable aura.
The biting coldness made the coachman shiver.
Facing the two passengers who threatened him, the coachman took courage: "Many people saw Inspector Morpheus coming to see me tonight. If I die, someone will go to the town tomorrow. Mayor, I have relatives who work in the mayor's office.
The money Inspector Morpheus gave me is enough to send you here. I'm going back. Claude Manor is right in front. If you want to go, you can go by yourself! "
The thin man in the windbreaker took a step forward. He stretched out his hand, and something black came out of the cuffs.
"It seems you really want to die! "
When the thin man in trench coat was about to take action, his companion stopped him: "Sears, don't cause trouble to Inspector Morpheus. We still need his help for many things. "You're right, Micro, we still need Inspector Morpheus." Sears stopped and shouted to the driver: "Get out of here!" ”
The coachman was about to pull the carriage away.
The tall Micron stopped him again: "I heard that this morning, a young man was going to Claulund Manor, and he was riding in your carriage."
The sound of moans getting closer and closer made the driver just want to leave as soon as possible, but he knew that the two people in front of him were also dangerous guys.
I had no choice but to answer as quickly as possible: "Yes, this morning, a young man took my carriage to the Claulund Manor. But like you, I only sent him here. Did he enter Gram Laurende Manor, I don’t know.”
Micro asked again: “Did he say what he was doing at Laurende Manor?”
"If the guest doesn't take the initiative to tell me, I never inquire about the guest's privacy. I really don't know anything, can I leave?"
"Last question." Micron raised his head slightly, his eyes The light flashed and disappeared: "Is Weston Crowlund really missing?"
The coachman replied: "I can't give you an accurate answer. Four years ago, the manor of Crowlund Manor The owner comes to the town every day to buy newspapers, but no one has seen him in the past four years.
I heard that the mayor had sent people to Crowlund Manor to discuss moving the manor, but he didn't seem to see him. The owner of the manor. The man who comes to the town to buy supplies now is the manor’s steward, who is a skeleton wearing human clothes.
I think Inspector Morpheus should tell you all about this. ”
Micron nodded: "Yes, the detective told us a lot about Claulund Manor. You can go..."
"Goodbye and good luck to you."
The coachman jumped on the carriage and left quickly.
In the mist, shadows appeared, and the ghosts guarding the manor surrounded the two intruders.
In Crowlund Manor, only the light in the study is on.
"Grave Keeper's Guidance Notes" uses a very traditional writing method and is aimed at family-style one-on-one teaching. Many of the contents are summaries of experience.
Helot used to learn optimized and improved modern magic, paying great attention to formulas and the underlying logic of magic.
Reading "The Gravekeeper's Guidance Notes" with modern magic thinking will inevitably lead to some conflicts, but these conflicts are not contradictory. On the contrary, after careful analysis, an additional problem-solving idea emerges.
What is recorded in the "Old Code" is another type of magic system. It does not have detailed underlying magic logic. It is simply a matter of strength, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
The qualitative change has reached a certain level... I am the underlying logic of magic.
I create the laws.
Reading and thinking put Helot into a state of selfless meditation, and Maynur always stayed by his side.
Until the butler Kurt knocked on the door and walked in, leaned over and whispered in Helot's ear: "Master, someone has invaded the manor."
