Chapter 94 Geista!

In the evening, Hofcroh held a delicate porcelain teacup and drank high-quality black tea. On the coffee table in front of him, there was a three-tier pastry tower, with cookies on the top, puffs and egg tarts in the middle, and finally The first layer is strawberry, mango and blueberry cake.

An old man in expensive clothes, with gray hair and beard, was raising his hand to pick up a cookie.

"As I get older, sometimes I really feel powerless."

"The previous royal doctor advised me to eat less sweets."

"However... if you can't even eat sweets, what's the point of living longer?"

The old man said plausibly while eating.

"There is at least hope in life."

Hofcroh considered his words.

Although he made up his mind to run away, he couldn't show his flaws at this time.

After all, the old man in front of him, although he looks amiable, is one of the elders in their organization—and, he is still... a sixth-level 'grave keeper'!

'Ghost Manipulator'!

Unlike the fifth-level 'Bone Defiler', the sixth-level 'Ghost Manipulator' is even more weird.

It even has the 'power of curse' that other professionals can't avoid.

Hofcro has never seen the 'power of the curse' in the true sense.

However, he has seen people cursed by the 'power of curse'.

He was obviously a young man in his early twenties one day ago, but one day later, he became an old man with gray hair who couldn't even stand up.

That lad eventually died of old age.

And the reason?

Naturally, it was because he had offended the sixth-level 'gravekeeper' Jista in front of him.

How did you offend me?

Hofcroh didn't know.

But he didn't want to be the next victim of the 'power of the curse'.

Therefore, he is careful and cautious.

"The deal with that Jason went well."

"As you expected, his hatred for the 'Shepherd' is beyond imagination."

Hofcroh said.

"'Night Watchmen' are always the toughest guys, a group of guys who seem ruthless but are completely bound by 'family affection' and 'friendship', when someone tramples on their 'family affection' and 'friendship', naturally will suffer their most horrific reprisals."

"Do you know the rumor that a certain demon hunter in the 'Night Watch' has someone who hurt his disciple, and then let the other party's entire family be uprooted?"

Gesta picked up a piece of strawberry cake, took a bite, and asked directly, ignoring the cream on the corner of her mouth.

"I've heard of it."

"Looks like it's in Eastwark."

"The guy who got into trouble with the 'Night Watchman' originally colluded with some monsters and did some shady things."

Hofcrore recalled.

"That's right, a shameful act."

Gesta swallowed the remaining strawberry cake in one gulp, then looked at Hofcro.

The eyes of this sixth-level 'Gravekeeper' are sharp but dignified.

This made Hofcro's heart tremble.

He thought his mind had been discovered.

But then Gesta said.

"The same is true for the 'Gravekeeper'."

"Every time someone mentions 'Gravekeeper', everyone has a look of hostility."

"Why is this happening?"

"Is it our fault?"

"no."

"It's the world that's been too hard on us."

"Our abilities are too different for them, that's why we have this kind of treatment - I still remember to this day, the girl I once liked broke up with me because I knew I was a 'gravekeeper' look."

"From that moment on, I made up my mind."

"I want to change the world."

"Change those people's stereotyped impression of 'grave keeper'."

"And it's so hard!"

"It's so difficult that I changed from a first-level 'grave keeper' to a sixth-level 'grave keeper' and it didn't help at all. At that time, I started thinking-when power can't turn everything around,

Am I going in the wrong direction? "

"Finally, I'm sure."

"I was too hasty."

"I shouldn't change the whole world at once, I should change a country."

"Start with this country and change the world."

Jista said slowly.

From beginning to end, the old man's eyes were on Hofcro.

The former advisor of Siwak VII was suppressing his panic.

He had heard this old man say such remarks more than once.

However, the reason is never known.

Now?

understood.

But an inexplicable sense of danger made him dare not take a breath.

He didn't know where this sense of danger came from.

I don't know why Jista told him this.

Fortunately, Jista quickly looked away.

"So, I don't want any surprises in my plans."

"If there are any accidents."

"I'll kill them all."

After finishing speaking, Gesta raised her hand.

In the void, ripples appeared.

A translucent figure appeared in front of Hofcro.

Contract undead!

Hofcro, who is a Tier 4 'Gravekeeper', is naturally familiar with this.

However, when he saw the appearance of the undead clearly, Hofcro was surprised.

"Yes Yes……"

The former advisor of Siwak VII wanted to say something, but suddenly a force appeared on his neck, which made him completely unable to resist, and choked back his words.

More importantly, his strength.

The power from the 'Gravekeeper' was imprisoned.

An invisible force suppressed his strength.

then--

Ga!

Hofcroh's neck was broken.

Losing the power of the fourth-level "Gravekeeper", Hofcro has no resistance at all.

Breaking Hofcroh's neck at this time is no more difficult than breaking the neck of a chicken.

Gesta shook her hand.

"It's really old."

"It still needs gestures."

"When I was young, one look was enough for me."

Gesta said such words, turned her head to look at the contracted undead in front of her, and smiled.

"You said yes...'Shepherd'?"

'shepherd'!

That's right!

It is the 'shepherd'!

The one who appeared here was the 'shepherd' who had been hunted by 'Dan' and almost destroyed Lord in secret!

At this moment, the 'shepherd' who is an undead looked at Jista respectfully.

After hearing the question, the 'Shepherd' bowed.

"My lord, your strength is still unrivaled. The current you are only distracted by some trivial matters."

Said the 'shepherd'.

It was supposed to be a flattering tone, but under the serious words of the 'Shepherd', it seemed extremely sincere.

Gesta smiled and waved her hands, picking up an egg tart.

"OK OK."

"Go about your business."

"Although I don't want to admit it, what the doctor said made sense. After I finished eating, I went for a stroll—trying to walk 10,000 steps while sleeping."

As Gesta said, he shrugged his shoulders, as if he knew what was good for him.

Such a Geista looks no different from an elderly person.

If there is not an undead standing in front of him.

And the words that the corpse is slowly standing up.

...

Roll, roll!

Hofcro was sitting in the carriage.

The driver was one of his entourage, and the one sitting next to the driver was another entourage. Both of them were "mysterious people" who had undergone "mysterious baptism". Not only were they physically strong, but they were also very vigilant.

But no matter how vigilant the two attendants were, they couldn't imagine that Hofcro, who was working in the carriage, was dead.

Hofcroh didn't think of it himself.

It's like he didn't expect the 'shepherd' to be Jista's contract undead.

"If the 'Shepherd' is the contracted undead of Geista, what happened before that?"

"Layout? Trap?"

"But who are these aimed at?"

Hofcro was thinking, but after becoming a corpse, his thoughts were obviously a little sluggish.

Some obvious answers are still unclear.

and……

He is rotting.

Hofcro rolled up his sleeves, and he could clearly see the corpse spots on his arms.

According to the current appearance, it is estimated that his real death will be after dawn.

Of course, the body died.

soul?

It is estimated that he will be enslaved by Gesta.

Do not!

Geista should have looked down on him.

His only role now is to give Jason the 'Hulk potion' in his hand, and then?

Quietly wait for death.

resist?

impossible.

He, who was also contracted, can't resist Geista at all now.

after?

It is also impossible.

The strength of the opponent has exceeded his imagination.

"Sixth order?"

"So strong?"

"But this kind of power...is not like the power of the 'gravekeeper'."

Hofcro thought subconsciously.

Then, he smiled wryly.

He was already dying, why would he still think about this?

However, he had to think again.

Because, the feeling of waiting quietly to die is really too uncomfortable.

That sense of powerlessness, that pervasive despair.

Let him completely suffocate.

Hofcro knew that this was Jista's punishment for him.

Punishment for wanting to escape.

"Did those guys already know how powerful Gesta is? That's why they didn't behave like 'gravekeepers' at all?"

"Or those guys are just guessing, not sure."

"Then……"

"I just jumped out?"

At this time, Hofcroh gradually recovered from the incident of the "assassination of West Wok VII".

He began to discover some anomalies in the organization after the 'assassination' incident.

Something is out of the ordinary.

An anomaly of some people.

seem……

Already expected?

Moreover, it also contributed to the flames?

It seemed that that night he was supposed to be discussing "the next strategy for East Walker" with King West Walker VII in his study, but because of the conflict with Prince Ruitai during the day, he had to rest temporarily.

Therefore, Sewak VII was alone in the study that night.

and many more!

Prince Ruitai?

Suddenly, Hofcro thought of something.

Immediately, the advisor of Siwak VII's eyes widened.

Could it be!

Could it be!

A bold guess appeared in his mind, but he couldn't say it at all.

The power of the contract limited him!

But it also made him more sure that his guess was right!

Hofcroh leaned back in the seat with a wry smile.

"If I'm still alive at this time, I must be sweating all over my body."

"And now?"

"I can only sit and watch a play."

That's right, just watching a play.

Although, he is one of the actors.

Zhenglishu Street is getting closer.

A figure gradually formed in the shadows, and he walked out slowly, carrying that strange song——

"Shhhhh!"

"Night, night, comes."

"The black lamb has danced."

"He's coming, he's coming."

"Go to bed quickly."

"Go to bed quickly."

The sound of the song was mixed with light whistles, and the two attendants in front of the car immediately looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of them vigilantly, and one of them simply took out the revolver.

But it didn't work.

An invisible force enveloped them.

The two strong followers then quickly dried up like deflated balloons.

By the time Hofcro got out of the carriage, the two had already withered.

In this regard, Hove Crowe turned a blind eye.

He paid a high salary and naturally had to take risks.

Both understand this: salary is life money.

How can anyone enjoy life with a high salary?

"What do you want to do?"

Hofcro lowered his voice and questioned the 'Shepherd'.

This is the constraint of the contract.

directly affected his body.

So he looks like business as usual.

"Give me the 'Helke Potion'."

The 'Shepherd', who was wearing a wide cloak and completely covered his face, said briskly.

"Do you know what it represents?"

Hofcrowe scares the 'shepherd'.

"Just a lucky 'Night Watchman' kid!"

"Have you 'Gravekeepers' become so weak that you need the protection of 'Night Watchmen'?"

The 'Shepherd' chuckled.

"It's not shelter, it's just cooperation!"

Hofcroh emphasized.

"Well, cooperate...then you can die!"

After the voice fell, the 'Shepherd' disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Hofcro, and his raised palm was about to be inserted into Hofcro's vest, but he was caught by a powerful palm.

Yes, Jason.

At some point, Jason appeared here.

He grabbed the wrist of the 'Shepherd' and stared at him coldly.

"Hi, long time no see!"

The 'shepherd' said hello.

Jason responded with a punch.

boom!

boom!

After the muffled sound, the body of the 'Shepherd' exploded directly.

A lot of flesh and blood scattered.

Then, it turned into foul-smelling soil.

Jason frowned and listened attentively. When there was no sign of the 'shepherd', he turned to Hofcro.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Jason."

"'Shepherd' is far more cunning and cautious than imagined."

"His secret technique should only be able to cover the [Hunting] effect for a while. In order not to be caught up by your teacher, he should hide it again now. However, you must be careful, as long as the 'Helke potion' is in your In his hands, he will definitely make a comeback.”

Hofcro was grateful, and said with a reminder.

Jason nodded, and took the box from Hofcro.

"Then I will take my leave first."

"If you need anything, please come to me directly."

"Anyone from the royal family can help you find me."

Hofcro said, bowed, turned and left.

And Jason?

But he walked faster than Hofcro.

After getting the 'Hulk potion', the figure disappeared.

In this regard, Hofcroh did not have any surprises.

After all, everything is in Jista's plan.

Including Jason's reaction.

including his death.

It is estimated that someone will replace him soon, right?

No, not soon.

It was after dawn.

Hofcromer walked on the night streets of Turt. Under the power of the contract, he lifted a sewer manhole cover and stepped into it.

"Dead? Do you want me to be like a rat in the gutter?"

Hofcroh quickly understood this.

He was furious.

But can't resist.

He could only curse this Geista again and again from the bottom of his heart.

Then……

Watching myself slowly rot.

In terms of the power of the contract, the pain was strengthened by more than ten times, so that Hofcro wailed again and again.

But it didn't work.

In this deep underground, no one could hear his wailing.

There is only a cross flow of sewage.

There are only mice staring at the miserable green light.

Gradually, Hofcro's voice became smaller and smaller, and more than half of his body was rotting.

The mice leaned over.

"Go away! Go away!"

Hofcroh yelled loudly.

He cannot accept death.

It is even more unacceptable to be eaten by rats when I am still alive.

But obviously, these gathered rats are not afraid of a dying person.

They gather more and more.

They swarmed up.

Hofcroh died in a way he could never have imagined.

The power of contractual constraints is gone.

But a more violent force is brewing in it.

Relying on the powerful spirit, Hofcro has turned into a ghost. It floats in the air, feeling the soul that is about to explode. It knows very well that Geista will not give it a chance.

It's about to die for real.

However, before that, it has to kill these mice!

Hofcro looked down at the rats that were still eating its corpse, and was about to charge up.

However, suddenly its illusory body trembled.

This, this is...
