Chapter 2119: Graveyard, Woods, and Crows

Night, ten o'clock.

The carriage passed through the night fog and arrived at the northern edge of Tobesk's urban area. The blonde elf, wearing a cold-proof robe, carefully pulled on Unlike Xia De's sleeve, followed him along the winding road, and entered a small village composed of pieces of low-lying shacks and two-story simple houses on the outskirts of the city.

Stepping on mud and smelling all kinds of strange odors, the two continued to move in the direction away from the city area. There were no gas street lamps here, and not even much candlelight could be seen. The village formed by relying on the city seemed to have been left by the city not far away on the other side of time.

The village tavern was still lit, and the noisy sounds came from afar. Fortunately, that was not the only way for the two. The guard dogs raised by the villagers smelled the scent of strangers entering the village, but before they could use their barking to intimidate, they were scared by the scent of the superior creature and dared not move.

The temperature after nightfall was below ten degrees, and the white mist exhaled from the mouth could be vaguely seen in the breathing. The Outsider walked deep and shallow on the dirt road in the countryside. They didn't talk, but soon passed through the village and entered the woods outside the village. After moving forward on the forest path for less than five minutes, they saw a gravel path and an unnamed graveyard at the end of the path:

"It's here. Be careful in a moment, that Mr. Copus has a bad temper."

Unlike Xia De said to Emilia in a low voice, and the blonde girl nodded immediately. The Outsider, who continued to lead her forward, also realized in a trance that it was about this time a year ago that another blonde girl first visited here.

【And now, that blonde girl from a year ago has become your lover.】

The voice in his ear laughed gently. Unlike Xia De thought "She" was implying something, but now was not the time to think about these things.

There was no fog outside the city, but the graveyard with closed gates was shrouded in thick fog. Emilia, who followed Unlike Xia De to the graveyard entrance, only felt that she had entered the world of a horror novel. And as an elf with a strong perception of vitality, she had always hated this kind of graveyard environment.

"Follow me closely."

Unlike Xia De reminded again in a low voice, and pushed open the rusted fence gate with a harsh "creak" sound. In an instant, the fog that had been motionless in the graveyard seemed to be stirred by invisible hands and swirled. A pale figure in the depths of the fog flew quickly toward the two at the gate, scaring Emilia into hiding behind Unlike Xia De, but because Unlike Xia De was carrying something on his back, she couldn't stick to his back:

"Wraith!"

"It's okay."

He reached out and pressed the badge on his chest. Soft light radiated toward the surroundings, and in a long wail of "Ah~", the power derived from the "Angel of Death" drove away the wraith and the fog.

At this time, in front of the gravedigger's hut in the center of the graveyard, that is, the stone house, the dim light of the kerosene lamp in the door illuminated the owner of the house. That thin, pale middle-aged man who looked like he had indulged in lust was already waiting impatiently at the door for this visit.

"Mr. Copus, long time no see."

Unlike Xia De took the initiative to greet, and Emilia pulled on Unlike Xia De's sleeve and followed Unlike Xia De forward.

"You were here nine days ago."

The graveyard keeper said coldly, and then looked at the girl who poked her head out from behind Unlike Xia De:

"Elf?"

Sure enough, the illusion spell on her didn't work very well in a place like Tobesk, which was full of mysterious people.

"This is my friend, she was entangled by a relic, and wants you to see what kind of relic this is. Of course, the price is calculated according to the normal relic appraisal fee."

Unlike Xia De used a spell to send the rusted silver leaf-shaped brooch to Mr. Copus. The pale middle-aged man reached out to take it, then sniffed it lightly, and said coldly:

"Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing should not actively entangle a pure-blooded elf. Secret-keeper-level relic - Ghost Bone Tree, exists in the material world in plural form. The tree itself is made of skeletal material, and it will constantly lure people to commit suicide under the tree and absorb souls and corpses. At the same time, the fruit produced by the tree, which is this."

He shook the accessory in his hand:

"Relic derivative - Ghost Bone Tree · Suicide Mark, the person holding it will constantly encounter various misfortunes, and the people around them will also die one after another. When despair accumulates to a certain extent, the holder will actively look for the Ghost Bone Tree and commit suicide. Of course, this kind of suicide is not considered bewitched, it is considered that the Ringed Shushi commits suicide sincerely, thus triggering a suicide reversal.

Because of this danger, the last two Ghost Bone Trees recorded were one eradicated by the Church of Nature in 1544 of the Sixth Era, and one is now contained by the Cerces Higher Medical College, but the fruit grown from that tree is in the shape of a hairband, not a brooch. I didn't expect that after three hundred years, in this eventful era, even this kind of thing has revived."

Unlike Xia De felt Emilia behind him sticking closer to him:

"Then how to lift the curse of the relic? Do you need to find the tree that is the main body?"

"This is one way, or go find the believers of the Old God - God of Luck, which is the 【Hermit Group in the Forest】 who believe in the 【White Holy Tree】. Their magic potion - Oak's Luck Potion, can directly cure this kind of curse."

Unlike Xia De felt relieved. Old John had a good relationship with the 【Hermit Group in the Forest】, and Unlike Xia De himself had even purchased "Oak's Luck Potion" from Old John with some pink perfume.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had already gone to Luvia for help this afternoon. Luvia took Emilia to see President Addis Stan. Luvia didn't specifically introduce Emilia's identity at the time, but Unlike Xia De believed that the strongest diviner in Tobesk probably also saw the elf girl's background. After all, St. Byron's and the Divination Association were cooperative relations.

In this way, the cultist's curse had been eradicated, and the brooch's curse could be lifted after Old John returned tomorrow. As long as the cultists were caught, the problem on Emilia would be completely solved.

Unlike Xia De took Emilia's hand and wanted to leave, but the pale middle-aged man reminded again:

"If you want to fight, stay away from my place, don't cause me trouble."

Leaving the graveyard, the two hurried into the small woods between the graveyard and the village again. Unlike Xia De led the way in front without talking, and Emilia lowered her head and was pulled by his hand, also not talking.

The two's footsteps were very light, and the woods under the moonlight were also exceptionally quiet.

And in this tranquility, suddenly a caw-caw~ sound of a crow broke this tranquility. The crow flew from the woods to the high sky, and suddenly turned into a ball of black light in front of the moon and fell toward their position.

Unlike Xia De, who was originally just walking with his head down, twisted his waist and turned around in place. His right hand slashed downward, and only saw the dazzling silver light blade fly out from the woods, splitting the black light wrapped by the crow from the middle, but it only let it explode into a ball of smoke.

Caw-caw~ Caw-caw~ Caw-caw~ Caw-caw~

The sound of flapping wings came one after another, and more and more crows flew from all parts of the woods to the high sky, covering the moon and stars in just a few breaths. The dense crow flock moved in the sky above them, and Emilia pulled on the back of Unlike Xia De's clothes, watching Unlike Xia De, who was blocking her, reach out to the long sword on his back.

Caw-caw-caw-caw-caw~

The crow calls connected into a piece, circling above their heads to form the mark representing that evil god of misfortune. And as those crows turned into black light one by one, countless black lights fell toward the ground like raindrops from the sky. And Unlike Xia De unexpectedly didn't draw his sword, but instead used his empty left hand to pinch a pink petal and put it in front of his mouth:

"Flying Flower Curse!"

Blowing gently, thousands of petals sharper than blades, mixed with pink poisonous mist, collided with the black light crow flock. Unlike Xia De didn't watch the show in place, but pulled Emilia and ran toward the depths of the woods:

"Run, those cultists really came!"

The two ran toward the depths of the woods where there were no people as if they were panicked and had no way to go, instead of running toward the graveyard or the village. And those crows also quickly got rid of the control of the petals and followed them closely from a high place behind.

The moonlight was still so gentle, shining on the road where Unlike Xia De and Emilia were running. Being held by Unlike Xia De, running with him under the moonlight, the elf girl felt the breeze of the moon night and looked at his side face, not knowing why she felt her heart was shot by an arrow.

She liked the story that happened tonight.

But the Ringed Shushi with a six-ring life ring floating behind him had already appeared in the direction they were moving forward. That stranger wearing a black cloak and a clown mask seemed to know in advance that they would definitely appear here. The moment Unlike Xia De and Emilia saw him, his long-accumulated miracle had already been released toward them.

Enlightenment-【Fear】, Whisper-【Ghost】 bloomed with spiritual light together:

"Evil Ghost Devouring Body."

Black mist surged from his wide sleeves, and then the mist turned into dozens of amorphous ghosts wearing armor, flying toward the two "fleeing" people.

Unlike Xia De stopped, pulling Emilia's hand, who was letting her imagination run wild, and then was swallowed by the ghosts turned into black mist before he could react.

The crow flock chasing behind the two also flew into the black mist at this time, entangled with the black mist as if turning into a giant black cocoon, completely sealing the possibility of their escape. The creepy roar of the ghosts and the calls of the crow flock connected into a piece, and this scene was even more like a horror story scene than the graveyard just now.

The Ringed Shushi wearing a clown mask waited patiently for a good while before walking up. Only after dispelling the black mist, he found that there was nothing in the mist.

"So, the 【Cult of Misfortune】 really only sent two people this time."

Unlike Xia De's voice came from behind him. The stranger turned his head and saw Unlike Xia De leading the blonde girl standing not far away. The blonde girl looked at him with hostility, and after a clang~ sound, the long sword was drawn, and the silver sword light rose under the moon night. ===== CHAPTER 2120 =====
