Chapter 423: Suspected Demon Relics (Part 1)
Half a month later, a bored Flora came to the door.
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
Weilin looked at the heroic female knight in front of him, put down the pen in his hand, and said helplessly.
"Verin, can you give me something to do, even if it's to guard the gate of Star-Moon City?" Flora propped herself up on the desk and begged her nephew.
Flora was not used to staying at home every day.
"Let me think about it."
Weilin held his head and began to think about what position to assign to his aunt so that she would not feel slighted and at the same time not interfere with her life.
"Auntie, how about the position of chief instructor of the Xingyue Castle garrison?"
"When will I take office?" Flora said impatiently with bright eyes.
Seeing this, Verin could only tell Hilda to take the written order and her aunt to the outer city to read out his order.
Not long after Flora left, Kyle walked in hurriedly.
"What happened?" Weilin stood up and asked.
"My Lord, Duke, the acting consul of Qiuyun County, reported that an area within the jurisdiction of Qiuyun Town collapsed, and an ancient ruin was buried beneath it, which is suspected to be a demon altar." Kyle replied in a low voice.
"Who else knows about this?" Weilin's face instantly became serious. Anything involving the devil is definitely not a trivial matter.
"After Duke discovered the clues, he immediately dispatched the Qiuyun County garrison to seal off the surrounding areas, and moved the citizens within a hundred miles away as quickly as possible." Kyle replied respectfully.
After hearing this, Verin nodded and gave instructions: "Call Cassius, ask him...forget it, take your Silver Wolf Knight, send someone to notify Pastor Lavia, and tell me this matter at the same time. uncle."
"I'll get ready right now."
Weilin made some brief preparations and left the study.
At the south gate of Xingyue Castle, forty tall silver wolves were crawling in the open space with their heads held high. Their hair was like snow, their bodies were majestic, and the aura they exuded around them was awe-inspiring.
Above the silver wolf is a fully armed silver knight, holding a spear and wearing heavy armor, keeping a serious expression, waiting for the arrival of the lord.
The soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the silver-white giant beast beside them. It was impossible not to be afraid. However, for the sake of their faith, they still stood guard. They could not let the Xingyue Fort defenders stand guard because of their own personal actions. Qixing leads all troops to lose face.
Half an hour later, Weilin rode his beloved red phosphorus horse to the south city gate.
"Set off."
After the order was given, the forty silver wolves stretched out their limbs in unison, followed behind Verin and Kyle, and ran with all their strength.
Feeling the wind-like speed, Weilin was very satisfied with the mount under his crotch.
After being nurtured by the blood of the red dragon Serafina, both he and Kyle's mounts have achieved life level evolution. Although the appearance has not changed much, the inner changes have been earth-shaking.
First of all, the Red Phosphorus Horse's intelligence has been greatly improved and it can hear complex commands.
Secondly, these two guys gained the ability to breathe. Although it was only to the extent of making fire, it also meant success.
The most important thing is the physical strengthening. The physical strength of these two guys can be compared with that of low-level silver warriors, and they can obtain more durable running characteristics. After a good meal, they can run for three days and three nights in a row, and maintain one hour every hour. Speed of 100 kilometers.
Looking at the two guys running wantonly, they were completely unaware of their fate of being reduced to stallions.
According to Kyle's plan, as long as these two guys survive two more rounds of evolution and increase their physical strength to be comparable to that of a silver mid-level warrior, they can be used for breeding.
Weilin stroked the red phosphorus horse's hair and said with a smile: "You will be able to retire with honor soon. What a lucky guy."
Because the speed is too fast, the red phosphorus horse cannot hear clearly what its owner is saying, but this does not prevent it from actively showing its value.
Xingyue Castle is only three hundred kilometers away from Qiuyun Town. In less than three hours, the group arrived at the collapse site.
Forty silver wolves were lying on the ground, looking at the two red creatures who were still energetic, and their hearts were filled with admiration.
"My lord, Duke Grosvenor, the acting consul of Qiuyun County, pays tribute to you." Duke came to Verin, put his right hand on his chest, and bent down to salute.
The ruling officials and Qiuyun County garrison officers who followed behind him saluted to express their respect.
"Take me to see the collapse site."
"Please come with me."
After passing a mountain road, everyone came to a valley.
Looking down from the hill, you can see a small part of the underground ruins that is exposed.
The overall color of this building is black, the floor tiles are patterned with skulls, and the columns are made of flesh and blood. From time to time, you can hear screams coming from inside, as if the soul inside is telling its tragic experience, which makes people feel chills behind their backs.
"Did you see anything?" Weilin looked at Kyle standing aside and asked.
After hearing this, Kyle replied: "Lord, the buildings here are indeed related to demons, but the buildings here don't seem to have originally existed here."
"Why?"
"Every building related to demons exudes an evil aura at all times. Monster clans such as goblins, kobolds or jackals originally lived here. With their mental resistance and camp bias, they should have been destroyed long ago. The demons assimilated and became half-demon, but this is not the case, which is enough to show that these buildings only appeared recently.”
"These buildings have not been around for long. Maybe the ground collapse was caused by this building." Weilin touched his chin and said his guess.
"Yes, my lord." Kyle replied calmly.
Duke and others who followed behind Weilin, although they were a little confused, showed an expression of sudden enlightenment on their faces.
"Kyle, do you think there is any treasure here?" Weilin pointed to the underground ruins in the valley and asked with some expectation.
"Maybe there is." Kyle's tone was a little uncertain. According to past practices, there must be no treasure here. After all, for demons and those demon followers, souls are the wealth they pursue, but events related to their own masters cannot be inferred by common sense.
"Forget it, let's wait a while."
Although with Kyle here, Weilin doesn't have to worry about his life safety, but having a strong soul-level and a priest of the Church of Life will make this exploration journey safer.
"Duke, tell the garrison of Qiuyun County to evacuate."
"Yes, sir."
Duke bowed his head and saluted, then left the hill with his subordinates.
