"What happened? What did Andel and Natalie do?"
Li Lin raised his voice a few notches and shook Yin Xiduo.
Only in this way can a frightened person calm down quickly.
"He...they..." Yin Xiduo's lips trembled. "They touched the taboo! They snatched the souls of the deceased from the hands of the Eternal Hunters, snatched them back..."
"You mean, they came into contact with magic?" Li Lin paused for a moment and changed his words, "Is it a forbidden black magic? To resurrect their daughter?"
It’s not that ordinary people without magical talent are necessarily unable to cast magic, but the cost involved is something ordinary people simply cannot afford.
Seeing Yin Xiduo nodded uneasily, Li Lin let him go and asked, "Where are you going next?"
"Hengfeng Village is already a cursed place. I won't go back!" Yin Xiduo continued to pack his things and shouted at the people who were talking by the river: "Damn it! All of you, hurry up and pack your things. We're going back to Tobitia tonight!"
The first person to come back was a woman of about the same age as Yin Xiduo, who was his wife who had gone out of the village with him to do business.
She looked puzzled, her tone slightly displeased, "Are you old and confused? You don't know how far Tobitha is from here, do you?"
"Then let's go to any other place where we can stay, except this damn Hengfeng Village!"
He was a little angry and ordered the young man who was following the woman, "Quick, pack up your things, we can't stay here for long!"
"What happened, father?"
"The retribution for blaspheming death has come!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the woman and the young man changed. Without saying any more nonsense, they quickly followed Xi Yidu to pack up the tent that had just been set up not long ago.
While packing up, Yin Xiduo looked up at Li Lin who was still standing there, and sighed: "Forgive us for our poor hospitality, Lord Li Lin... Please quickly tell His Royal Highness the Prince to leave this cursed land as well."
Li Lin stared at Yin Xiduo for a moment, nodded silently in response, and left their camp.
He did not return to Jarvan IV for the time being, but came to the river and projected the real-time footage of the drone in front of him.
Just now, the intelligent brain vibrated and reminded him that the drone must have discovered new clues.
When Li Lin switched the perspective, he found a drone parked in a slightly dilapidated yard on the edge of the village, flying towards the main house.
"Did you find anything?"
[Just now, the drone captured the "ghost" again. She glanced at the drone, gave a signal, and then went into the room.]
Li Lin's expression suddenly became serious. "Are you sure...she was the one who gave the signal?"
【I am 100% sure, Master.】
The intelligent computer replayed the footage captured not long ago, and saw "Qin" jumping up and down on the dirt road without raising any dust.
When it stopped in front of the yard where the drone was currently parked, her translucent face turned towards the drone again, staring at the screen with her empty eyes.
It was as if she could look directly into the eyes of Li Lin on this side of the screen.
Then she stretched out her hand and beckoned to the drone, then walked into the yard and into the main house as if she was familiar with the route.
Li Lin stared at the replay and fell silent.
[This ghost is not as we suspected, without independent consciousness.]
"Yeah, I see."
[She seems to be leading us into the house? Should we go in?]
"Be prepared to cut off the connection with this drone at any time."
【I see. 】
The next moment, the drone hovering in the air above the yard quickly changed its form, transforming into a miniature mechanical engineer and stopping in front of the dilapidated wooden window on the side of the main house.
It effortlessly pushed aside the rotten wood covered with dark green moss and crawled into the house.
Because the drone has a built-in night vision system, everything in the room is clearly displayed in front of Li Lin.
This is a bedroom, covered with dust and cobwebs. It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time and does not look like anyone has ever lived there.
The furniture here is very simple, with only a double wooden window, a round table with drawers and a homemade wardrobe.
Judging from the layout of the house, this bedroom should be the owner's room.
Li Lin controlled the nanorobot to fly to the desk first. There was nothing valuable in the drawer except some tattered and stale parchment.
He originally wanted to control the robot to leave, but the words of the intelligent computer interrupted his idea.
[Master, the depth of the bottom drawer is different from the two above. There should be a mezzanine inside.]
Li Lin switched his perspective to the scanning visual system and discovered that the third drawer at the bottom of the table did have a baffle separating a small secret compartment.
And inside, there seemed to be a relatively complete piece of parchment.
"Hmm? What is this?"
Li Lin suddenly had a bad feeling.
The nanorobot opened the partition with very little noise, then took out the parchment inside and spread it flat on the table.
The text above is very strange, somewhat similar to Demacia's text, but much more complicated.
At the bottom of the parchment, there was a magic circle that looked like a hexagram at first glance, and there was also a strange yet familiar key pattern.
【This is ancient Demacia writing.】
The intelligent brain reminded.
Although Demacia only has a history of a few hundred years, its writing system has evolved many times to become what it is today.
"Translate this text for me."
As the intelligent computer replaced the text on the parchment with modern Demacian, Li Lin couldn't help but gasp after just a quick glance.
The words on it were engraved like dark blood:
There are ten kings and ten thrones;
Nine crowns on the crowned head.
Only one person is left to dig the grave;
Only the crow is left, neither dead nor alive.
