Chapter 534: The Shock of Ruins
"Hehe! I guess we're lucky! Adela, you can keep this soul crystal! You're the only necromancer among us who can use it!"
Many dark creatures actually do not have physical bodies, such as skeleton creatures, and their strength comes from the soul fire in their bodies.
The stronger the soul of the dark creature, the stronger its strength will be, so the soul crystal they picked up can be used to feed the dark creature and enhance the soul strength of the dark creature.
If Adela could summon a white skeleton of the lowest level at this moment, then as long as it fed this soul crystal, there would be a high chance that the white skeleton would be directly upgraded to a green skeleton.
Of course, the higher the level of the skeleton creature, the more difficult it is to advance. If you want to increase the level later, you can only use more soul crystals to fill the gap.
Adela was somewhat tempted by Laci's suggestion. Although as long as she asked for it after returning, she would still be able to find a lot with her family background.
However, what is obtained through family and what is obtained through one's own adventures have different meanings.
"This Skeleton Mage was killed by Lord Harry! Lachi, please ask him for me. I want to buy it from him with gold coins. Is it possible?"
"Miss Adela, although I killed this Skeleton Mage, I was hired by Master Lachi. The spoils belong to Master Lachi, so if he gives it to you, you should accept it!"
Gervis listened to Adela's words and praised her for her self-restraint. She even knew how to ask her hired wizard.
So Gervis didn't need Laci to come over and ask, he gave the result directly to Adela.
Of course, this is not because Gervis is generous. When he was in the Holy City of Heka, he signed an employment agreement with Laci, which can be regarded as a contractual employment. The distribution of spoils is naturally also mentioned. It is clearly written that he has no right to share the spoils during the adventure.
Gervis guessed that Adela had never been exposed to these things before, so she went to the trouble of asking Laci to ask him.
"Thank you, Sir Harry!"
Hearing Gervis' answer, Adela smiled and nodded to thank Gervis.
…
Next, the battlefield was cleaned up, the moonlight spirit fruit was picked, and everyone headed towards the moon again.
The guards who were seriously injured were left behind, and three guards who were slightly injured were also left behind to take care of and protect them.
After all, these people have lost their ability to move, and carrying them on the road is not only dangerous but also a burden.
After walking over the high slope, the terrain ahead slowly began to change.
After they had walked for more than half an hour, what they saw was no longer an endless wilderness, but a forest gradually appearing.
"Everyone be alert!"
The risk factor of traveling in the wilderness is actually not that high, but with the dense forest, everyone's nerves began to tense.
Because no one dares to be sure whether there are dark creatures or other ferocious monsters hiding in these woods.
In this way, they continued to walk for about two hours under the moonlight. Two hours later, they finally saw some building ruins again.
In addition to the ruins, they also saw a faint light coming from there again.
"Harry, is that a fire?"
This time, Dewell and his companions learned their lesson and did not say anything immediately after seeing the light. Lach also asked Gervis in a low voice.
When Gervis heard Lach's question, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. These people had become stupid in order to show off in front of Adela. Was it something that the firelight could tell at a glance? Why were they still not confident?
This time, due to the terrain, they were not far away when they saw the ruins of the building. Although there was no flame in the light from the ruins, it was definitely a fire from the flickering light.
"It's fire!"
Gervais replied.
"It's a fire, that's probably Messisa and Utrera. Everyone be careful, let's go over and teach them a lesson!"
After getting Gervis's confirmation, Laci immediately felt confident.
So he whispered a few words with Adela and the others, and everyone finally agreed to go over and teach Messisa and the others a lesson.
After all, Messisa and Utrera had clashed with him and others again and again.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, everyone approached the entrance.
When Aardman came after them, he went even further and directly blocked their escape route.
If Waddington had not arrived in time, they would probably have died halfway up the mountain.
This revenge must be avenged.
After making the decision, everyone drew their swords and weapons under the cover of night, and then slowly moved forward.
This ruin should have been a manor of considerable size, but it was destroyed for unknown reasons and has now become just ruins.
After walking carefully for a few minutes, Gervis and his group finally arrived at the outskirts of the ruins.
"Something is wrong. Utrei and his men have two to three hundred people. Why don't they even have a guard on sentry duty?"
Carefully hiding themselves by the wall, Lachiadela and the others gathered together, feeling confused.
They got closer but didn't see any guards on duty, which was very unreasonable.
"Maybe not Utley and the others."
Deville mentioned it quietly.
"No matter who it is, let's be alert. We'll know the answer once we touch it!"
Everyone looked at each other, even though the people from the Sacred Trading Company and the Kington Family came in late.
However, it is not impossible to take a detour and overtake them. After all, they wasted a lot of time on the high slope.
After the discussion, everyone continued to move towards the interior of the ruins. Several golden knights took the lead, while Gervis and others were in the middle.
As he got closer and closer to the place where the fire came from, Gervis suddenly frowned because he actually smelled a faint smell of blood.
Gervis looked at Lach and the others. There was nothing unusual about them and they obviously couldn't smell any blood.
At this moment, they were too close to the fire, so Gervis did not say anything to warn them. Everyone would know it soon anyway.
Then Gervis touched the long sword at his waist. If a close combat occurred, he could draw the sword immediately. This long sword was picked up by him when he was on the high slope.
Laci had just curiously asked Gervis why he had a long sword hanging on his head.
Gervis explained that if a skeleton crawled out at his feet, he would be able to react immediately.
Laci thought Gervis's words made a lot of sense, and he immediately turned into a bootlicker and sent a short blade to Adela.
Then he blatantly plagiarized Gervis' words and asked Adela to accept the short blade for self-defense.
Ten meters, eight meters... five meters...
At this time, they were only separated from the fire by a wall, and could even hear voices coming from the other side of the broken wall.
To their surprise, the people next to the campfire were not Utre, Messisa and others, nor were they people from the Holy Trading Company and the Golden Shield Family, but more than a dozen orcs.
These orcs were sitting around the fire, talking and laughing while eating food, and the food in their hands turned out to be human limbs.
Adela just took a quick glance and her face turned pale and she almost vomited.
"Bana, human meat is still delicious! I wonder if the leader and his men can catch the escaped humans!"
"I haven't eaten human meat in a long time! It's indeed better than monster meat!"
"I heard from the leader that there are at least a thousand humans entering here this time. Haha! We must have a good meal!"
Just when everyone was about to vomit, the orcs beside the fire continued to eat and chat happily, unaware that they were surrounded.
Lach and Deville barely suppressed the urge to vomit, looked at each other, and then made a gesture of wiping their necks to the guards around them.
This group of orcs actually feed on humans, and they have other accomplices. The only thing we can do is to capture them quickly and see if we can find out what is going on.
You have to know that there are Waddington and others at the entrance of Sunset Forest, how dare these orcs be so rampant.
