Chapter 16 Guarding Place
Passing through the guards guarding them like an arch, Luo Xiu, Connor, and Pamier came to a locked abandoned warehouse.
A large and heavy iron chain hung down, and the two iron doors were not neatly attached to each other. Mayor Rupert took the lead and took the key from the guard next to the warehouse.
—— Bang bang bang bang...
After a while of fiddling, Mayor Rupert opened the chain, and the guards on both sides opened the iron door.
A smelly smell came from the depths of the warehouse.
This is the smell of rotting corpses... Luo Xiu frowned, but Connor and Pamier walked straight in as if they didn't smell anything.
The interior of the abandoned warehouse had been cleared out in advance, leaving nothing behind.
According to Mayor Rupert, he was very smart and thought in advance that if the two corpses were really "fake corpses", there would be nothing in the warehouse that they could use as weapons.
In the abandoned warehouse, there were only two corpses placed side by side in the middle. Luo Xiu could determine the identity of the corpses just by looking at the completeness of the heads.
Looking at Pamier and Connor again, Connor frowned, as if he had discovered something was wrong.
Immediately, Connor turned towards Mayor Rupert and inquired in a stern tone:
"...Mayor Rupert, do you think you can sit back and relax just by emptying the warehouse?
You can actually let people put the corpses of these two [Red Lotus] cultists together. This is the biggest thing. The danger!”
"What... what?" Mayor Rupert's originally somewhat arrogant expression suddenly shrank, "I, I don't know..."
"I emphasized this kind of thing, these are very common details."
Pamier shook his head, and a cold voice came out from under his hooded helmet, "'If you encounter this situation again, you must separate the bodies and take care of them.' I remember I warned them.
This is a dereliction of duty on your part, Mayor Rupert, and I will report your dereliction of duty to the Holy Court. "
"..." Mayor Rupert wanted to argue more, but after thinking about it he sighed and lowered his head.
Luo Xiu quietly watched the scene just happened before his eyes, feeling secretly happy.
This mayor...every word, every move he makes is to please the noble "Holy Judges". After all, he regards the Holy Judges as his patron saint, but it is obvious that he still made a serious mistake.
"The worst has not happened, my lords..."
Luo Xiu tried to smooth things over and said with a smile, "This is the best result. We should pay tribute to Guanghui and forget these unpleasant things."
Connor and Pamier nodded and glanced sideways at the poor Mayor Rupert. They said nothing more and focused on observing the corpses of the two "blood followers".
Seeing this, Mayor Rupert slowly breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at Luo Xiu.
This time, the mayor's eyes were no longer filled with suspicion and rejection, only kindness and gratitude remained.
Luo Xiu nodded slightly and looked at the two people observing the corpse.
Pamier stood behind Connor, while Connor stretched out his hand and caressed Feld's body.
The pale golden light swept over the surface of the corpse like silk, and then disappeared.
"The corpse's own spirituality has completely dissipated... and there is no spiritual residue from the murderer..."
Connor said, "It can be burned immediately."
After saying that, Connor walked to the other side, stood in front of Morris's body, and "sensored" the body in the same way.
"...This corpse still has a trace of its own extraordinary spirituality." Connor said, "It needs to wait for the spirituality to completely dissipate before it can be burned."
"So, what about the attacker...who is the murderer?" the mayor asked.
Connor shook his head and said: "From these two corpses, I did not sense any spiritual residue from the murderer. Maybe they were not killed by extraordinary beings."
"He wasn't killed by a transcendent?"
The mayor was stunned, "That is, who killed them...were these cultists killed by ordinary people?" "How do I know this? I am only responsible for solving 'extraordinary events'."
Connor spread his hands and said:
“If you think the murderer is an ‘ordinary person’, you can go to the [supreme] people in the Department of Justice to solve the problem...
However, my personal suggestion is that those who will kill the cultists in [Red Lotus] will not threaten your wealth and status. "
"...Okay." The mayor's tone was low and he compromised.
"So, two adults," Luo Xiu intervened at the right time and asked, "You said you are waiting for the spirit of this corpse to completely dissipate, so what should we do before that?"
"Just let these soldiers guard it."
Connor looked at Luo Xiu, winked, and said seriously: "We will come here every day to check the spiritual residue of this corpse.
If something does happen, we will come and solve it as soon as possible. "
"Okay." Luo Xiu nodded.
While the words were being exchanged, Luo Xiu instantly understood the "look" Connor gave him.
As a priest with the second destiny of [Glory], Connor was fully capable of "dispelling" the spiritual residue from Morris' body on the spot, but he did not do so.
The "Paladin" Pamier does not have the skills related to "dispersion". This is a purely combat profession.
In this case, among Luo Xiu's many assumptions, there is only one possibility that is closest to the truth——
——This pastor wants to take advantage of his salary reasonably!
Because when you come to Chenxi Town to go on a mission, you don’t have to engage in an “extraordinary” level battle...
Extraordinary people are also human beings, and they also need to travel on public funds and be reimbursed for food and drink!
I understand, I understand everything...
A knowing smile appeared on Luo Xiu's face. He nodded to Connor and Pamier and said, "In this case, should you two stay at the mayor's mansion or go to the church..."
"Let's go to the mansion." Connor and Pamier said in unison.
…
It was already evening when we returned to the Glory Church from the guard area.
Luo Xiu used "Healing" and "Prayer" to drain out the last bit of mana, and after gaining proficiency and experience points, he lay down on the bed feeling slightly tired.
However, Luo Xiu's eyes were shining with unprecedented excitement.
He always remembered what Palmier had said on the way to the guarding place.
——If the corpses of extraordinary beings are activated by some malicious beings, or if some kind of distortion occurs inside the corpses, these corpses will be immediately 'resurrected' and turn into terrifying monsters!
Luo Xiu thought of a plan.
And after a whole day of observation, this plan is feasible!
What bothered him before was that there were no undead monsters within the scope of "Morning Town"...
"If either of the two corpses of Morris or Feld is 'turned into an undead', wouldn't the problem be solved?!"
Along the way, Luo Xiu suppressed his excitement until this moment.
Now he finally has time to make his planned first attempt!
At the same time as Luo Xiu's idea emerged, a wolf like flame slowly emerged from the shadows.
The next second, Fenrir jumped out of the window and disappeared from sight.
