Chapter 75

Ten days passed in a flash.

Unfortunately, as it relates to the death of the daughter of Earl will, the military headquarters must absolutely ensure the integrity and reliability of the investigation report. Therefore, the military merit expected by leilo has not yet come.

Watch the altar for 10 days and get 3 points of military merit.

Even if you want to exchange the flame heart wand with the least military skills, you need to complete 20 duty tasks, that is, 200 days. More than half a year has passed.

Not to mention that the upgrade assessment time has long passed, and even a bottle of D-type hardener can not be exchanged.

This is because Leiluo, as a "magician", is a scarce person in the fortress and it is relatively easy to earn military merit. Ordinary soldiers want to earn military merit, which is almost several times more difficult than Leiluo!

However, fortunately, through these 10 days of altar duty, Leiluo not only clarified his future path of truth and knowledge pursuit, but also his research on energy runes. When it comes to altars and refining magic guides in the future, he will not know nothing and learn twice with half the effort.

White star and Yulia go out to carry out secret surveillance tasks, which is beyond the contact scope of the magic mirror.

Xiao Kang's logistics material inspector's job is very lucrative. I don't know what this guy promised the ghost old man. He got this task that requires some relationship. He won't go out with Leiluo to take risks.

Reluctantly, Leiluo had to be alone. After thousands of choices, he received the task of "investigating the death of heiyanshan".

Black rock mountain, located at the foot of the furnace mountain range, has a remote town.

Generally speaking, although it belongs to the territory of the Principality of Gran, it has hardly paid a silver coin to the principality. Even the Principality of Ceylon is too lazy to harass the remote place.

If it were not for the war, the fortress would need to unite all forces to fight against the Principality of Xilan. As usual, even if the residents of Heiyan mountain were dead, the fortress would never send an investigator to release a relevant task.

"Dear master wenlai, I'm Leiluo, a first-year student of the grand Academy of natural sciences. This is my task scroll."

Leiluo saluted the old scholar respectfully, looking like a shy student at school.

Master wenlai is a magician consultant who has been stationed in the furnace fortress for a long time. He is old, but he is still only a naturalist degree. If he works at the Gran Academy of natural sciences, he can only work as an assistant tutor and laboratory research clerk.

But at the furnace fortress, he had entered the ranks of medium-sized officers.

In terms of rank, master Winley's status is even higher than that of an ordinary viscount.

Leiluo's mission is to follow master wenlai as an investigation assistant to investigate the mysterious death of residents in Heiyan mountain.

"Yes."

Master wenlai is wearing a Black Dragon Robe, leaning on a ruby wand, riding a mutant red eyed goat monster under his crotch. He is amazing in shape, similar to a horse, and a pair of sheep horns are majestic.

"I heard that the Academy of Sciences issued a task on military merit assessment?"

Leiluo respectfully said, "yes, it will last for three months. After the examination, I will be a sophomore."

"Keep the necessary humility and learn more from the soldiers here. They are elites who come out of the sea of corpses and blood. They can teach you many things you can't learn in the college, such as... Killing! Hehe, don't be afraid. If you want to deal with this kind of thing rationally, you should dissect a special specimen."

The old man comforted Ralo.

Leiluo smiled shyly again and didn't say much.

Beside master wenlai, there were seven soldiers, just like the soldiers of the Principality of Xilan who hijacked the airship. They were fully armed and elite. Knowing the strength of these soldiers, Leiluo came to the team leader and said humbly, "Hello, my name is Leiluo. Please take care of them all the way."

The team leader was a man of about 30 years old. He was relieved to see that Leiluo was not as arrogant as the previous little guys.

If you offend these Saint granburg magicians, it's really troublesome. Not to mention their own influence in the fortress tower, they may be the dignitaries of some family. There has been such a precedent in the fortress before.

"You're welcome, Mr. magician. You can call me Ivan. Along the way, we will do our best to be responsible for the safety of you and the master and assist you in completing the investigation."

After a while, several people left the majestic gate of the fortress, walked on a remote path and disappeared into the vast mountains.

Several hourglass time lonely journey, but it is quite calm.

"After crossing this mountain, you will arrive at Heiyan mountain. It is said that the barbarians there are very bloodthirsty. When the melting pot fortress was not established, many passengers passing through here were eaten by those guys. Later, they gradually became citizens of the principality because of the Enlightenment of the belief in the goddess of wisdom temple."

All the way to the mountains, everyone did not ride a horse, only master wenlai's mutant goat monster walked on the ground.

Finally, we are about to reach Heiyan mountain.

Looking around, there were red and black rocks everywhere, as if they had been drenched by blood. The vegetation was sparse and pitiful. At a glance, it was a barren land with strong folk customs. They stopped a little and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, the longbow Knight at the back of the team shouted, but a piece of gravel fell from the steep ridge.

When the center was flustered and avoided, he looked over his head and saw nothing. It was just an ordinary landslide. Only the archer showed a little panic.

"I seem to see a personal black haired monster who just spied on us. Although I didn't see it clearly hundreds of meters away, I can still feel the cold bone marrow. It's not an illusion!"

A humanoid black haired monster?

Everyone looked at master wenlai, but master wenlai just frowned and said nothing.

"Maybe some kind of Warcraft?"

Leiluo guessed the archer's true identity of the monster, but suddenly noticed something. He was surprised and said, "it seems so quiet here! Even the sound of birds and insects disappeared."

When Leiluo said this, they suddenly realized the appalling strange silence of the Zhou people. When they thought about the narration of the panicked Archer, they couldn't help feeling cold behind them. They seemed to be stared at by some terrible thing and shudder.

"It's winter, and it's so desolate here. It's likely that there are some special magnetic fields under the mountains. It's normal without birds and insects."

Master Wenley looked at Leiluo and said, "are you afraid?"

"No, No."

Leiluo hurriedly said, "I just don't think it's normal. I'm responsible for assisting the master in this task. I'll go wherever the Master goes."

As a naturalist, the power of master Wenley is not comparable to that of Ralo.

Although master wenlai has a low bachelor's degree, he is at least a secondary energy magnetic field.

As Leiluo knows, the secondary energy magnetic field, which is a kind of gasified higher energy, is also called the energy force field. In addition to a certain degree of blessing on academic power, it also has the ability to release the protective layer of the energy mask independently. The strength is amazing and the maintenance time is quite long. I'm afraid the strength of the energy mask on the balloon airship is not as strong as that on the airship.

After all, the area of the scholar's energy shield is much smaller, and the defense strength per unit area is naturally better.

The crowd took a deep breath and went on.

Somehow, Leiluo's right eyelid jumped wildly and his heart was indescribably anxious, as if these red and black rocks were filled with a thrilling and unknown atmosphere. In the shadow, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him coldly. As he turned his head and looked, these eyes flashed away in the dark.

After less than half an hourglass.

From a distance, people saw the small town built on the hillside.

The materials of the houses in the town are also red and black rocks nearby. From a distance, there are about 100 huts. You can even see the wisdom goddess church, which is the tallest building in the town.

Ivan took out his telescope and frowned, "no one."

However, when he looked back, he was stunned to find that the magic apprentice who finally joined the team changed two bubbles with his strange magic and formed a larger telescope with a paper tube, which seemed to observe more clearly.

After a while, the magic apprentice shook his head with the same heavy heart and silently looked at the Brunei master.

I looked up at the sky. It was already evening. The sky had completely darkened and covered with dark clouds. It seemed that there might be a heavy rainstorm at any time.

Baa

The red eyed goat monster in the crotch cried uneasily. After a moment of silence, the Brunei Master said firmly and low, "move on."

No one said anything more. The whole team was so quiet that they could only hear the sound of stepping on stones. It seemed that everyone was frightened by the strange atmosphere here.

Although master wenlai and Leiluo also feel some unspeakable unease, as scholars, they must be realistic. The task of this investigation is to investigate the unknown situation of Heiyan mountain. They can't retreat in a hurry because of some possible dangers.

"Damn it! No wonder the task reward is given 5 ~ 20 Military Merit according to the survey results. The people of the original military headquarters have been aware of some possible dangers here and are ignorant."

Thinking about how to face the unknown danger, under Leiluo's sleeve robe, one hand held the scroll of the energy mask tightly, and the other hand took out the wind kite fan.

Finally, they walked into the town.

Sure enough, there is no one!

The town was quiet and terrible, but there were no obvious signs of battle. People took action one after another. In the friction and collision of metal armor, they searched door to door. However, the more they searched, the colder their hearts became, and they gathered together again a moment later.

"The food is still there, but all livestock and people are gone, not even a dog!"

"It's like... Everyone suddenly disappeared overnight. Is it a wizard?"

"It doesn't disappear overnight, but in batches! There is a temporarily built fortress there. They should be very afraid and know they can't escape, so they stay in the fortress in despair for help... You'd better go and have a look in person."

In a heavy tone, the crowd followed the soldier.

Soon, they came to a house temporarily fortified with stones. There were many traces of human activities around it, which was obviously the last place for people in the town.

When they entered the fortress, they were immediately fumigated by the smell of excrement and urine inside. Master wenlai's face did not change and walked in the front without saying a word.

On the black stone wall on the second floor of the house, countless blood claw prints tell the fear of the dead.

"In the last period, they were completely frightened by something. They didn't even dare to go out of the room and pee in the room, but they were killed by the things they feared. Moreover, the things they feared should break through the house and rush to the second floor to kill them one by one in this closed space."

Captain Ivan's tone was heavy, and everyone seemed to feel the despair of the survivors in this room.

However

Apart from countless blood claw marks on the second floor wall, there is not even a skeleton in such a big fortress?
