Chapter 788 Lord

The man who called himself "Lord" was surrounded by everyone. He sat on a broken chair that could no longer be seen with his neck curled up, with a look of complete fear and vigilance on his face. He subconsciously grabbed the lapel of his clothes with his hands, and his eyes wandered on Hao Ren and Vivian: "Who are you?"

"We are coming from outside, so don't worry about our specific identity." Vivian stood in front of Heimerwin with her arms folded in an imposing manner, looking down at the timid man, "Are you the lord here? Do you know what happened here?"

"Now that you know that I am the lord, you should be more humble!" Heimerwin tried to control the aura of the nobles and shouted in a higher tone, but soon returned to the uneasy state, "I don't know, what am I? You don’t even know—get out of here! You’re not welcome here!”

His next words basically meant the same thing, that is, this is the lord's mansion, and inexplicable intruders are not welcome. Despite the huge chaos and uneasiness, this man still tried hard to show his noble stance. Of course, no one on Hao Ren's side would take this trick. When Heimerwin became more and more agitated, Cassandra suddenly put her hand on his shoulder, bowing slightly in an elegant and decent manner: "Please calm down, we people many."

This vampire with a unique temperament had this habit of always acting like a lady and saying things that were more hooligan than anyone else. Hao Ren had already gotten used to it after only two days of knowing her.

But Heimerwin wasn't used to it yet. He was stunned for a moment. He didn't realize what he meant at first: no one must have dared to talk to him like this before. After reacting, the lord exclaimed belatedly: "Are you robbers?!"

Cassandra kept an elegant smile and explained in a soft tone: "We are not robbers, but if you don't cooperate, I will indeed kill you."

Everyone: "..."

Regardless of what was wrong with Cassandra's character, her words were effective. Heimerwin finally understood the situation and began to cooperate. He crouched in his chair, and although he always inadvertently revealed the strange proud attitude of the old aristocracy when he spoke, his behavior showed no trace of magnanimity in line with his status. Facing Hao Ren and Vivian's inquiries, he only kept repeating a few words over and over again: "I don't know... I don't know what happened here. I was sleeping up there, and it was you who woke me up - my servants." Where did you and the butler go?"

"It seems that there is something wrong with his memory." Seeing Heimerwin in such a state, Hao Ren could only mutter helplessly to Vivian, "He doesn't even know that the town is over - does this man's memory stop? Before the mutation happened?"

Vivian nodded slightly and looked at Heimerwin with a frown: "What was the last thing you remembered?"

"I finished checking the warehouse, ate in the long hall, and then went back to rest," Heimerwin said, looking up quickly at the center of the long hall and pointing to the long oak table that was completely covered with black ash. "That's where I eat - but why is it so dirty?"

Lily asked: "Isn't it like this before you went to bed?"

"Of course not," Heimerwin puffed up his chest proudly, "This is a beautiful big house, and my servants will clean it and make it fit for my identity. But now...my Where did the servant go?"

"If it's correct, they would have died long ago," Hesiana said casually while fiddling with her vampire whip, "It happened hundreds of years ago. The gate is over there, you can go and take a look for yourself."

Hemerwin looked at Hesiana in confusion, and then was forcefully dragged to the gate of the mansion by Duncan and Cassandra. When he saw the scene outside that had obviously become a ruined town, he was completely stunned. Then he grabbed his hair hysterically: "Nightmare! Nightmare! Nightmare!"

Hao Ren and the others watched the movement at the door from a distance. Nangong Wuyue poked Sanba's arm with the tip of his tail: "Brother, what do you think is going on with this person?"

"Maybe... it's a kind of ghost," Nangong Sanba was also a little unsure, "I've never seen this type of one that emerged from the ashes and had a real body. Pay attention to his feet - There are footprints and shadows, which shows that he has weight and substance."

Hesiana looked at the only demon hunter at the scene with a smile, and said in a teasing tone: "Expert, can you analyze the cause?"

"Perhaps the ashes in the secret realm were reorganized into his body under the power of magic. Certain undead rituals can produce similar effects, but unless this soul is subjected to a series of detailed tests, I can't explain how it was formed. .”

"Don't mention it, it's not easy to find someone who can inquire about the situation, and you're going to make someone else's soul go to pieces." Hao Ren waved his hand, "And we have no enmity with him. But you said that using undead rituals can produce similar immortality." Creature...is this 'lord' consciously transformed into this?"

Nangong Sanba raised his head and glanced at Heimerwin, who was following Duncan dejectedly: "The key to the problem is that he himself seems to know nothing about his transformation - I first started to suspect that he became immortal in order to live forever. In this way, if he himself doesn’t know about it, then the transformation will be meaningless.”

"Maybe he lied," Lily curled her lips. "Maybe he turned the entire town's residents into sacrifices to transform into this immortal state. He is afraid that if he tells it, he will be killed by our justice."

Under the guidance of Duncan, who was half supporting and half dragging, Heimerwin staggered back to the chair. He grabbed his hair and murmured: "Oh my God... what the hell happened... This cursed What is going on with this scene..."

Hesiana raised the man's chin with a long whip and said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Don't be such a waste - you are still a nobleman, so you should calm down at this time. As you can see, this town has been destroyed, no matter you Believe it or not, the town was destroyed at least hundreds of years ago, and all the residents here are missing. They must have died. As for yourself... Tsk, you probably guessed it yourself, you are also dead. , now an undead."

Unexpectedly, Heimerwin didn't react much, or maybe he was over-stimulated and lost the ability to react. He just stared at Hesiana's face blankly, and it took a long time before he said: "Why?"

"Some kind of powerful black magic can only be explained this way," Nangong Sanba said next to him, "We are exorcists hundreds of years from now, probably equivalent to the priests and evil ghost hunters of your time. We found this exiled town, and you are the only one here who can speak - do you know who cast a spell on the town?"

"Black magic?" Hemerwin repeated the word blankly, and suddenly trembled, as if remembering something terrible, "Devil! It's the devil! I remembered, there is a devil lurking here! I was confused by him, I was beaten by him... God, what have I done..."

The frightened man began to become hysterical again and shrank back desperately, as if the devil he was talking about was walking in from the door. Seeing this, Hesiana hit the other man's forehead with a whip, and a dark red blood flowed out. The curse rune was then printed on the latter's forehead: "Calm down - is the devil you are talking about a wizard? He is disguised as a scholar and lurking around you?"

"Scholar...scholar!" Heimerwin waved his arms fiercely, "It's him, it's him! That monster who sold his soul to hell, he deceived me, I was deceived, I was..."

"That wizard should be dead," Vivian interrupted. "It is said that he was killed by a demon hunter."

There was a strange look of surprise on Heimerwin's face, and then a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. Hesiana took this opportunity to ask: "Do you know where the wizard is hiding? Do you know where his black magic laboratory and his magic books are?"

"I know, I know!" Heimerwin jumped up from his chair. "He doesn't live here. He is a lonely guy. He lives in an old house behind the town, not far from here. I will take you there. I will take you there." You go!"

Heimerwin waved his arms nervously, then took long strides and ran towards the door. Hao Ren and the others immediately followed.

Under the leadership of Hemerwin, they left the lord's mansion and continued running toward the end of the town along a path behind the mansion.

Finally, a thick fog blocked everyone.

(My energy has been a bit low these days, and the updates are quite late. If it’s too late, don’t wait...it means I’ve already played GG in the face of perfect attendance.)
