Arthur took a break to sleep for two full hours. When he woke up again, it was already around four in the morning, and the howling wind was still sweeping through this sad little village.
Brynn has woken up. The vigorous wood elements have roughly repaired her body. Now she can walk freely, but her hands are still shaking and weak when carrying heavy objects. After seeing Arthur wake up, Brynn paused for a moment. Patting his cheek to keep himself awake, he walked to the bedside with a smile on his face and said, "Are you feeling better? I heard from Mr. Ugor that some of your elemental powers are exhausted. Fortunately, there is another element in your body. There are two elements in your body. Are wizards very powerful?"
Arthur looked at Brynn up and down, and found that except for the fact that her complexion had not returned to rosy, she was already much better than when he found her in the snow. At this moment, Arthur could relax: "Yes, I heard what Parrish said, I It is even possible to become the leader of the secret wizard organization he formed in the Southern Continent... Maybe I am really powerful, you see, I can even heal you."
Bryn clasped her hands together to express joy, but suddenly remembered something, and quickly moved to the fireplace with difficulty, and turned out the potatoes that were roasting in front of the fireplace, "Mr. Ugor found this in the house, it will go now." Verifying a hypothesis I just thought of with it, about those 'cadavers'."
Arthur came to Brynn from the bed, took the potatoes she was peeling in her hands and ate them slowly. After struggling for most of the night, he was already hungry.
"What's your guess? Is it related to the habits of those resurrected corpses? I also noticed something wrong when I was fighting with them before."
Brynn waited for Arthur to continue speaking. Generally speaking, people who took the initiative to speak out would have a certain sense of accomplishment. Brynn wanted to give this feeling to Arthur, but she found that Arthur was looking at her with the same eyes. After realizing each other's intentions at the same time, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. They had the same tacit understanding in simple details, which would also bring joy to people. It was Brynn who spoke first: "Each household of these corpses only knows how to One or two bodies appear. If the door of the house is closed, they will not even enter at will. They will either stand at the door or knock on the door. So is it possible that these corpses still retain their habits in life? They have No possibility of just 'going home'?"
Arthur's eyes flickered. He had had this idea before, including the male corpse he met at the door of the woodshed. If Ugor hadn't suddenly opened the door and attacked the corpse, the corpse wouldn't have done anything unnecessary. , the corpses he saw along the way were like this. The people who attacked the house were just resentful of the people who invaded their houses.
However, I heard that the recent death of so many people in Woswo Village was related to the war. Many young people from every household participated in the war to defend Tommyer Town, and many of the corpses that could be transported back to their hometowns were recently buried. I really don’t know whether these resurrected people are a good thing or a bad thing for Woswo Village. Their consciousness is only reserved for going home and driving away the people they see at home. Many villagers who did not have time to escape were also killed. If they were still conscious If so, would you cry if you killed your own relatives?
"By the way, Arthur, there is one more thing..." Brynn interrupted Arthur's thoughts. When Arthur looked at Brynn in confusion, Brynn was holding a cardigan and handing it to Arthur. , Arthur took the cardigan and asked: "What happened to this dress?"
After much hesitation, Brynn said: "Shortly after I finally collapsed in the snow because of the cold... I seemed... I seemed to see George, who put this dress on me... Before I found Mi
After meeting Mrs. Scheer and the others, before they had time to rest for a long time, Albaz felt that his life would be in danger if he continued to stay in the house, so he decided to take a few people to find a chance to survive. Ram and I stayed..."
"Is that the coachman? When we brought you into the house, Ugor and I found that he had been shot through the chest by the male corpse. In order to prevent him from attacking us after resurrecting, we tied him up in the tool shed in the farmland outside the house.
Arthur lowered his eyebrows, "No wonder I didn't see Teacher Fleur and Mrs. Michelle. I hope they escaped safely."
Just at this moment, the door of the house was opened, and cold wind rushed into the house. Arthur and Brynn turned around at the same time and raised their hands to block the drifting snowflakes. Ugor, wearing a white headscarf, wiped his paws and stepped into the house.
After noticing the glances from the two of them, Ugor stood there awkwardly, "Am I disturbing you?"
Arthur didn't pay attention to Ugor's teasing, "How about it, did you find anything?"
"Polite, kid, I am much older than you. According to your human age, I am already thirty years old this year." Ugor sat down on the bed, "It is indeed as Miss Brynn guessed, those corpses are just looking for
My former residence will not be attacked as long as I don't get close to the house where they are. At the same time, I have some sad news for you. The inn was attacked, and I saw four human corpses and two horse corpses there.
Most of the corpses should be those from the charity convoy, and they were buried in the snow. I was worried that they would be resurrected, so I came back first."
Brynn covered her mouth, unable to believe that Mrs. Michelle was no longer alive. According to her previous assumptions, Mrs. Michelle and the others would not be harmed as long as they did not go to houses or other places. But why... wait a minute
, four corpses? But weren’t there five people with them? Could it be that... Brynn had a horrifying idea. Mrs. Michelle and the others were framed to death by one of their colleagues. From the current point of view,
, is it Alshiba? Do you want to tell Arthur and the others about this?
Arthur frowned. If those people had stayed here, he would have been able to save their lives. Now, it would be better to continue listening to what Brynn just said about George. A familiar person died in front of him.
Arthur covered his beating heart and suppressed the nausea in his heart. "Brynn, continue talking...about George."
"What happened after that was actually very simple. Mr. Ram and I were attacked by male corpses while we were staying in the house. I escaped at the last moment, but because my body couldn't bear it anymore, I passed out. After that, I fell into a trance.
I saw a figure saying something to me, and covered me with clothes... Judging from the voice, I thought it was most likely George."
"If it was George, why did he appear here? Shouldn't he be looking for the Temple of Life according to the rumors? But only their appearance in Woswo Village can explain why the corpses here are resurrected... About George in Life
What happened in the temple is just a guess, we still need to find George..." Arthur twirled his hair, and things returned to the starting point.
"Perhaps we have not returned to the original point," Ugor interrupted Arthur's soliloquy, "I think your brother and Ibn did not find the Temple of Life, but found the relics of Isis that were left outside.
, and they are now testing the ability of this relic, and there may have been disagreements afterwards. Iben came up with the idea of devouring the relic for himself, betraying your brother, and Iben wanted to continue to find the Temple of Life, so I appeared.
I saw him running away before."
Arthur was extremely surprised by the precision of Ugor's inference, as if Ugor himself had seen all this from a third-party perspective. Ugor noticed Arthur's widened eyes and chuckled self-deprecatingly,
"Why do you think I know this?"
"The reason why you want to kill Iben is because he has done similar things to you?" Arthur boldly guessed.
Ugor looked up at the roof and didn't say another word for a long time. It wasn't until the firewood in the fireplace burst out that a trace of fire broke the silence. The leopard man with tears in his eyes sighed deeply and continued: "You are right,
Arthur, and...because of his greed, he killed my brother."
"That's why you asked to come here with me as soon as you heard Iben's name..." Only now did Arthur fully understand Ugor. If George was killed by Iben because of the information about some relics,
And if he was killed, he would kill this bastard with his own hands.
"Now, let's try to track down Iben and your brother." Ugor put away all his emotions and threw the thick cotton coat he found from somewhere to Bryn.
