The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

After the massive offensive launched by the Eastern Army in 524 years of the Federal calendar, Mount Yobo, a branch of the Namoa Mountain, was nominally included in the federal territory. However, having said that, no one will really establish a civilian settlement in such a place. Therefore, for a long time, Mount Job was under the direct management of the local garrison. Naturally, everything on the mountain, including woods, mountain treasures and even mineral deposits, fell into the private pockets of the army.

There is a small mitral silver mine on Mount Job. The mine is not large in scale, and can provide less than one ton of mitral silver mine every year. The amount is very small, but compared with the nearly ten to one price ratio of Mithril and Gold, it is enough for the Eastern Legion to tens of thousands of soldiers to live a small life comfortably.

The man who manages the mine is a captain named Fernando. He is a member of the Logistics Department of the Eastern Army. He is over fifty years old this year. He is a mature and stable civilian officer. Speaking of which, he is still a lieutenant at this age, and the profile also shows the mediocrity of this person. Fortunately, Fernando is not the kind of person who has the ambitious aspirations of “killing the enemy on the battlefield and making achievements.” He never stepped on the enemy or his own body. He just hopes to work diligently and earnestly, and to live leisurely until his retirement age. The military department thinks that he has no credit and hard work, maybe he will be promoted to a higher level. Then, you can safely enjoy your retirement as a school officer.

Fernado has about a dozen miners. At the scale of this mine, such a manpower is actually enough. In addition, a half-hour mountain road from the mine can reach a newly built outpost of the legion, where fifty soldiers are always stationed. Of course, if there is any problem, it can come quickly.

The haunted incident happened on August 12th.

Fernado has always had the habit of patrolling in the middle of the night, which may be related to his being a warehouse manager for nearly two decades. So, that night, after all the miners had rested, Fernando carried the bronze-coated alcohol lamp into the mine.

As usual, the dark mines looked a bit gloomy under the dim light of the alcohol lamp. Generally speaking, this is a very suitable breeding ground for ghost stories and supernatural legends; however, Fernando has been watching mines for several years here, even if he ca n’t see his fingers in the tunnel, he can walk inside with his eyes closed Back and forth, naturally there is no fear.

Captain took advantage of the dim fire of the alcohol lamp to tidy up the tools scattered in the tunnel, and he was ready to go back to sleep with satisfaction. At this moment, he suddenly felt: there was a strange noise behind him.

　　Fener turned around and saw a black shadow disappearing around the corner of the tunnel.

“Does the beast come in?”

At this time, he did not think about things in a supernatural direction.

　　Fernado followed, and then he found that all the tools he had just organized had been messed up. The old man shook his head helplessly, preparing to redo his work just now. At this moment, he heard the strange sound of mud and rock walls. The shadow of the black human figure shook under the fire of the alcohol lamp, constantly twisting various movements.

“Who!” Shouted the old captain, pulling out his sword.

Is 　　 a mining thief? Fernando used his common sense to suppress the unknown sense of depression in his heart and made such a judgment.

“Hee hee hee hee hee …” This series of seemingly cheerful weird laughter, but turned into almost freezing cold dominance Fenado body and mind. On the night of August, it was still a bit hot, but the old captain was trembling constantly, and his skin was already covered with goose bumps.

The laughter became clearer and closer, and Fernando yelled out in fear, striding towards the mine.

The unknown opponent did not follow, so the old captain quickly awakened all the miners and sent someone to the outpost to mobilize the armed soldiers.

Evening search, found no problems.

Many people think that this is the illusion that the old man Fernando was sleepy. However, since then, strange things have happened one after another.

The tool placed in the mine was inexplicably broken.

The newly excavated ore is inexplicably missing.

At night, the nearby birds and beasts screamed inexplicably.

Before the sun went down, a miner said in a voice that he saw a white shadow dancing against the sun.

Later, some miners even scooped out red water in the well. Red, like blood …

The army once again searched the mine, and of course, it still returned without success; but this time, several of the soldiers of the search team started to get sick after returning home, constantly talking nonsense, and yelling, crying and laughing from time to time, It took several days to recover.

Since then, the garrison of Mount Job finally knew that he had encountered a problem that he could not solve, and submitted an application for magical support to the headquarters.

Above is the so-called haunted incident of Job’s Mithral Silver Mine.

This time, the headquarters actually sent three magicians at a time. Although each one looked very young, the old captain was very pleased. In addition, there were a group of more than 20 armed soldiers who came with the magicians, all of them fully armed, and even brought some charms to expel ghosts.

So many people squeezed into the mine, and Fernando’s courage returned suddenly. He respectfully led the magician and the army to the mine.

“This is the haunted mine.” Fernando pointed to a tunnel that could only accommodate two or three people.

This is an ordinary looking small mine entrance. Several thick logs fix the pit opening to a standard door frame. There is a tall person at the entrance, because during the day, Lu Xi can clearly see the tunnel near the door through the sun, but inside, there is an unpleasant darkness.

“Don’t you light up when you mine?” Lu Xi asked.

“Of course it is important. But, in these weeks, whenever the lights are turned on, they will go out as long as no one is watching. Now, the workers are afraid to go down to work.”

Listening to the description of the incident by the old mine director, Lu Xi really did not know what kind of expression to make in response. Just looking at the development of things, it seems like a prank.

“It sounds like a ghost with a bad taste.” Lu Xi said helplessly, “It doesn’t seem to be any danger anyway, so go check it out first.”

“Well, when you find it, you must beat it hard. Even if it is a ghost, pranks in the barracks are absolutely not allowed.” Carol said.

“If it’s really a ghost, you shouldn’t be able to beat it.”

“I can’t do it, so I threw a pyrotechnic stone into it and turned this tunnel into a sea of ​​fire. I don’t believe it, a ghost in every area. Is it really impossible to take it?” Carol looked in front of him. The entrance of the mine said fiercely.

“Hey, if the mine is destroyed, is it not worth the loss?”

Compared with the two heatedly discussing, Sai Xili looked straight ahead with a dull gaze, without saying a word: “…”

Looking at the girl’s pale face, she couldn’t help but grinned, and then pretended to say kindly: “If it’s too reluctant, you can stay behind. Carol and I go down with the servants.”

Hearing Lu Xi’s words, Sai Xili couldn’t help but shudder. She gritted her teeth and then shook her head quickly: “No, I’m going down!”

“But …”

“It’s nothing! Isn’t it a ghost? I won’t admit it! Look at me to find out what you really are, and you must make you look good!” Sai Xili shouted loudly, constantly publishing a statement of boldness and dryness to himself Breathe. However, I don’t know why, Lu Xi always feels that the girl has a somewhat hysterical taste after arrogance.

“Okay. Since you insist …” Lu Xi finally agreed. He said to Carol: “Then, I’m going down with Lim and Sehiri first. You take Weier and everyone at the door.”

“Just three of you, is that okay?”

“It doesn’t matter, the three people plus the puppets of Seychelles are enough. Moreover, the mine is so big and too many people will be troublesome.” It’s just a D-level task, shouldn’t it be a problem? probably?

“… Okay, but be careful. If you haven’t come out in two hours, I’ll take them.”

“Relax. You have to be careful. If the other party is pushed out by me, it will be up to you to block it.”

“Wrap it on me.”

After assigning tasks to Carol, Lu Xi picked up the staff, and condensed a lighting magic on the shaped crystal at the end of the staff, and walked in first. Primula also followed without a word. Cecilio hesitated for half a second, then closed his eyes and walked to the end with his silver teeth clenched.

As soon as she entered the tunnel, Sai Xiliu released the puppet of construction. She raised the staff to her chest and placed her left hand on the magic book. She took every step carefully, like an enemy.

“If you go on like this, you will scare yourself to death before the ghost comes out.”

“Luo, wordy!”

“Oh, I really didn’t expect that someone as good and serious as Seychelle would be afraid of ghosts.”

“Well, I’m not afraid. It’s just … like them, floating around, there is no sound … Ah! Wordy! Everyone has something that is not good at coping with it! Don’t you have it? Besides, It ’s not sure if it ’s a ghost, or it might be someone else ’s prank! “

“Oh, this is also true.” Lu Xi shrugged and smiled, “If it is really a prank for ordinary people, what are you going to do?”

“Of course I have to find the guy! For a guy who likes to play with others for fun, I must step on it so hard that I do n’t even know his mother knows him, and I do n’t dare to confirm him when he hit Hell. Face! I want to let him know: even if it is a prank, it has to pay an unbearable price! “

“……”

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Lu Xi’s expression of horror, the other party recovered from the madness instantly, and turned into a serious look of the top student.

“Nothing. I just think: In order not to cause an irreparable disaster, the other party is still a ghost.”

“what do you mean?”

“By the way, Seychelio, do you usually feel that there are double footsteps when walking, and when there is no one always feels that someone is peeping, and when someone is in a daze, someone is talking to you. Well, that is the double Personality … “

“In short, what do you mean?”

“Well, it’s fine if you don’t have it. Just treat me as nonsense, oh oh … oh, it hurts … Lime, why did you hit me again?”

Primula pulled away her hand knife, then pointed to the front with a blank expression. Lu Xi looked in the direction of his finger and suddenly froze.

“……”

“What are you doing? Why are you doing this every time?” Sai Xiliu said with dissatisfaction. As soon as the words fell, she suddenly felt a sense of ominous atmosphere. She turned back and saw a looming figure like a translucent mist. Under Lu Xi’s lighting, the shadow reflected on the wall. With a weird sound of laughter from nowhere, the hazy shadow was constantly twisted and made a variety of strange movements.

“You, you, you …” Sai Xilue’s eyes widened and his mouth widened to make a mechanical sound.

“Hee hee hee.” Ghost swayed, revealing a pale face, compared with a grimace to Sai Xiliu.

“Um … goo …” The girl rolled her eyes, collapsed to the ground, and fainted.

By her actions, Lu Xi and Primula have reacted from the consternation that they just saw the ghost. Lu Xi’s eyes glared, and he completed a spell in a low speed, and the energy-gathering crystal on the staff showed red light.

Is naturally faster than Lu Xi’s movement. Lim turned her right hand, a flame-like blade flew out, and shot at the hazy mist.

The ghost posed a gesture that humans could never make, and avoided the attack lightly. However, Lim pulled his right hand again, and the blade that had lost his target flew back like a command. The flame-colored blade crossed the looming mist and even made a burst of flames.

A closer look reveals that the end of the blade is connected by a long chain, and Primula ’s right hand grasps the middle of the chain to control the direction of the flying knife; the other end of the chain is connected to another The same long knife was held in Lim’s left hand.

This set of male and female swords is the gift that Oulusello gave Primula. There are also countless top-quality items in Orussero, which has countless treasures.

These two long knives are tailor-made weapons for the dwarf hero Enohar by the sword-making master Gordolfak during the Enlightenment War. The male knife is 1.2 meters long, and it is like a fiery fire under the split; the female knife is 0.6 meters long, and it is like a meteor when flying. In addition to its indestructibility, the destructive power of cutting iron like mud, it is said that Goldofak once forged a piece of star iron in the lava of the rock temple for 108 days, making the formed fire flame meteor inherently holy The magic of flames. It has extremely strong restraint against dark things such as undead and demons.

Owned this relic, Lim’s combat power also rose directly to level 5 of silver, and still crushed Lu Xi.

(Name: Sacred Fire Meteor. Quality: Golden Relic. Attributes: Sharp 63, Hardness 45, Durability 120, Strength +4, Constitution +2, Flame Attack 19, Holy Attack 14, Damage to Demons and Undead + 15%.)

Sure enough, the ghost gave a sharp scream, the fog disappeared, as if it was about to collapse.

At the same time, Lu Xi’s magic is also ready to complete. The red light was divided into three, just like the arrows, they did not fly directly to the ghost of pain, but nailed to the ground around it. The red light kept changing, forming a burning cage of flames.

Saw that the flame had trapped the ghost, and Lu Xi was relieved. He turned his head to prepare to see the fainted Sai Xiliu. At this moment, the ghost seemed to finally recover from the attack just now, and it shook its misty body, and a big mouth of blood was exposed on the pale ghost face.

Opened his mouth wide and spouted a fierce drink.

It’s like a heart-breaking cry that only one hundred cats or two hundred crows can be strangled at the same time. By nature, it can make people both physically and mentally dizzy. The moment he saw the other party’s open mouth, Lu Xi hurriedly chanted the spell to protect his spirit from being attacked, but he was still a little late.

　　 (System: The host was mentally attacked and fell into a state of “vertigo”.)

Lu Xi only felt that his eyes were black. He quickly bit his tongue, and then he would not faint. However, the cage of flames that had lost their spiritual support also disappeared like a sand castle on the beach.

“Succubus screaming technique ?!” Lu Xi looked at the other party, his face undecided. At this moment, the ghost swayed his body and quickly disappeared at the corner of the tunnel. Primula pulled the blade again, leaving only a deep crack in the spot.

“Damn it, run fast!” Lu Xi pouted, feeling nervous.

Since the ghost will use the succubus screams of the Necromancers, it shows that its spiritual power and obsession with the world have reached an extremely powerful point, making it possess extremely powerful dark magic power. Whether it is related to the undead nation on the Heras Peninsula, it must not be left unattended.

“Um, uh …” A low murmur came from behind Lu Xi. He turned around and saw Secilyu holding his head, trying hard to get up, and Primula walked over and grabbed a hand, and she stood up shakyly.

Unexpectedly, the succubus screamed just now, but awakened the fainting girl.

“How is it, is there anything uncomfortable?” Lu Xi asked.

Sai Xilue breathed a bit, and finally looked better. She looked at Land Hee and barely smiled: “The head is still a little swollen, but it doesn’t matter, it shouldn’t affect the combat effectiveness. Let’s catch up.”

“Why, are you scared?”

“It’s still a little bit to be afraid.” The girl said with a wry smile: “However, now I always feel a little scared, and then it doesn’t matter how it feels.”

what? This will do.

“I don’t know why, suddenly I just want to find the **** ghost, and then beat it hard!”
