Chapter 522 Grave Keeper and Blood Runes (1/4)

When I came out of Military Information Third, it was already dark. Link took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was already 6:20 pm.

Link used to remember that at this time, Greenstone City was still very lively, but now there is almost no one on the street. The wind blows across the street and makes a "whimper" cry. The city is obviously full of people, but it looks like a ghost.

It can be seen that the recent plague has had a great impact on Greenstone City.

Link and Celine first returned to the timber warehouse where King Ryan and others hid, briefly introduced the situation, and then he and Celine continued to set off to the south of the city.

The cemetery in the south of the city is near the Garden District on the south side of Greenstone, quite far from the old city. Link blessed the two of them with a traceless magic and walked invisibly.

When we arrived at the garden area, the streets became quieter. The garden area was home to the upper class elites of the city. They were well-informed and had enough financial strength, so they basically ran away at this time.

Along the way, Link found that many houses here were empty. Even if there were occasional lights, only one or two oil lamps were lit, among which one or two old servants were watching over the owner's beautiful garden villa.

Because there was no one, no one lit the street lights on both sides of the street. Walking along the way, the whole street was dark, like a giant beast with a huge mouth open waiting for people to fall into the trap.

Celine whispered: "I can feel that there is a huge danger hidden here... We seem to have been targeted by a wild beast."

She held the two guns in her hand.

Link held the Dragon King's Wrath's sword hilt in one hand, and he continued to input dragon power into it while maintaining full alert.

He was not afraid of any wild beasts, he was worried that this wild beast was the god pet of Agatha snake man. If there was a god pet, there would be a snake man sacrifice. If it really fought, Link was naturally not afraid, but this was in Gristone City. If the other party was annoyed, the entire city might be affected by the aftermath of power, and that would be a disaster.

Link doesn't want any violent conflicts with his opponents in the city.

After walking hundreds of meters ahead, the sky became darker. There were many ancient trees in the garden area, and the shade was dense. A faint white mist appeared. The temperature began to drop, making people feel a sense of coldness drilling into the gaps in the bones.

"The situation is not right." Link whispered: "In this air, I don't feel any destructive power, but there are also a trace of very secret darkness."

This breath is very thin, and ordinary priests will definitely not be able to detect it, and may not even cause the reaction of magic. Celine beside Link had no feeling, and even Link felt a little faint.

But having a dark aura means that there is a dark power intervening.

There are only two dark forces in the north, one is a dark elves and the other is a broken demon. The demons are migrated from the plane, and they are basically warriors. It is unlikely that these people will do such dark and mysterious things, so the biggest suspect is the dark elves.

Celine's mind was also very fast, and she whispered: "You said, will the Dark Elf join forces with the Agatha Snake Man?"

Link nodded: "Whenever the dark elves have some ambitions, they will join forces with the Agatha Snake Man."

In fact, they have joined forces, and this is recorded on the scroll of the wizard Eisenis, but the records on the scroll are more popular, and it was updated half a month ago that there was no Greenstone's incident on the scroll, so Link had no way of knowing the details of what happened inside Greenstone.

At this time, the gate of the cemetery had already appeared in front of him.

Because the people buried in it have a very important identity, the construction of the cemetery is very particular.

On both sides of the gate are two stone pillars that are five meters high and half a meter thick. At the door is a carved hollow iron gate. Not far behind the iron gate is a small square. The center of the small square is carved with stone sculptures of the sleeping saint Aragorian, the Lord of Glory. The stone sculpture is a long candlestick, and a requiem lamp is lit on the table.

Because everyone was gone and lacked maintenance, most of these requiem lamps were turned off, leaving only a few faint green beans.

The fog in the cemetery became thicker and the temperature became lower, soaking the muscles and bones. The wind here basically stopped, and there was no sound. The cemetery was very quiet.

Celine has been living in the energetic scorched earth city this year. When she first came to such a ghost, she was very uncomfortable. She quietly moved a few steps toward Link.

"Let's go in." Link said softly, he focused on feeling the subtle darkness in the air, heading towards the depths of the cemetery.

After walking for more than fifty meters, Celine pointed to a small house on the side of the road and said, "Look, there seems to be lights there, it seems to be the residence of the gravekeeper."

Link came to his senses, turned to look, and through the vast fog, he saw a small house with dim lights coming out of the house.

"Let's go and take a look."

If they are gravekeepers, they will definitely get more clues. Any clue is crucial before facing unknown situations.

The cottage is not far away, 30 meters away, the door of the cottage is closed. Although there is light, no sound is heard in the room.

When he got closer, Link moved his ear and heard a strange breathing sound. The sound was very slow, far lower than the breathing frequency of ordinary people. There was a hint of tremolo between breathing and breathing, just like there was a sticky phlegm in his lungs that could not be dissolved.

Link already knew in his mind: "There is indeed someone in the room, but he has been infected by the plague."

"Ah?" Celine has been hearing about the plague, but she hasn't seen anyone infected by the plague. She swallowed her saliva nervously and asked, "Do we still want to go in and see?"

"Of course, it's okay to see."

Link used the mage's hand to open the small door of the wooden house, pushed open the door, and a slight creaking sound was heard, and a rotten smell suddenly came to his face.

Immediately after a strange and inhuman sound, a figure rushed towards Link.

The hand of the mage!

The gravekeeper was indeed completely infected, but his strength was very weak. At the level of a level 1 warrior, Link lifted his body up with just the little magic of the mage's hand, and then carried it into the room. No matter how hard the gravekeeper struggled, it would be useless.

When he got inside the room, Link's thoughts moved again: The dark cage!

This is a level 3 magic that Link learned in his spare time. It only requires 10 dragon power and is very convenient for weak people.

A buzzing sound was a light sound, and a chain with silver light sounded out of thin air. A few crisp sounds of "crack~crack" wrapped around the infected person's body, bound him to the ground and unable to move.

Then the two began to look around.

First of all, the gravekeeper, who was wearing a priest robe, should be the lowest member of the Templar Church. His flesh and blood had begun to be highly festered, but there were no maggots in the wound. He looked like a skeleton wearing a layer of rotten flesh and blood coat.

Celine looked at it and didn't want to look at it anymore. She kept covering her nose. The smell was so strong.

Link used another small wind storm to change the air in the wooden house, and the smell dropped a lot, and then he began to check the small wooden house.

The light source in the wooden house is a magic lamp, and in a corner is a small desk with some writing tools on it, including a note.

This made Link's eyes lit up, and he walked over and let go of the notes and looked.

After reading for a while, he found that this was a diary, which must have been written by the gravekeeper. He recorded in great detail what happened in the cemetery recently, and at the same time he also recorded his physical changes, which he wrote until 7 days ago.

This gravekeeper should have received formal recording training. The things he records are very objective. Even if his own body changes, he tries not to mix his personal emotions and to record the most intuitive details as much as possible.

Link looked at it carefully, and Celine also walked up to see it.

The most valuable thing is a diary from 9 days ago.

'Today there were a few naughty little guys playing hide-and-seek. These guys were really uneducated. They actually hid behind the dead and hid behind the tombstone of the deceased. I didn't watch it for a while, and they ran away... After a while, I saw these children running out again. They ran very quickly. One of them was crying. They seemed to be frightened by something. I was curious and walked over to take a look. I saw that there were many runes engraved on the tombstone at the innermost cemetery. When I walked over, I felt that my whole body was shocked. It felt like my bone was stung by a wasp. It couldn't bear the pain. I was very scared and didn't dare to look at it anymore. I fell ill after running back to the house... Something evil must have entered my body.'

After this diary, the tomb guard priest also drew three runes based on his memory.

Link immediately narrowed his eyes: "It is a blood rune commonly used by dark elves. It turns out they are making trouble!"

He looked through the two diaries next, and the diary was quite messy, showing that the priest's mental state was very bad. He recorded the changes in his body bit by bit. Although it was messy, it was very specific.

After reading it, Link frowned: "According to this description, this is basically the same as the level 3 necromancer magic ‘uncle ray’, but these people do not have any power and breath inside their bodies. This magic must have undergone some improvement. Let's go and see those blood runes."

When he put away his notebook, Link was about to turn around, his mind suddenly appeared. At the same time, he heard a sound of wind coming from the window, as if it was something like a crossbow arrow. Without thinking, he immediately pulled out the Dragon King's wrath and cut it with a sword towards the window.

"Sweep" a black and red tongue covered with corrosive mucus was cut off by Link and fell on the desk.

The tongue is still dead, and it keeps beating, and the mucus is thrown everywhere. Wherever it is touched, it makes a "silent" sound, corroding a big hole.

At the same time, a sharp scream came from outside the window, which sounded like the scream of a woman strangled her neck. The sound kept moving away, and in the white mist, a black shadow could be seen moving away rapidly.

Link immediately said to Celine: "Let's go and chase after him. This is the hell summoning beast Zampo. There must be a summoner nearby!"
