The first attempt at the power of faith made Donald feel the particularity of this power, and he was more attentive to the study of ancient books of demigods.

Likewise, Donald inevitably began to look forward to the cave where Claremont had told him about the ancient book of demigods, and the huge corpse of a tree-man.

Claremont said he discovered the ancient book at the time, but found nothing else.

Donald believed his word, but that didn't mean there really wasn't anything else in that place.

You must know that Claremont was an ordinary person when he discovered the ancient book of demigods. In Donald's view, there were some special objects in the cave that Claremont could not sense at the time. For example, the corpse of the tree man, if it was really a A demigod whose corpse is an extremely valuable resource in itself.

"Our current location is here, and the location where Claremont found the ancient book of demigods is here... Howling Forest."

Donald has a good memory, so he still remembers some conversations he had with Delia in his spare time in Demingham about some special places in the outback.

It is rumored that every night in the Howling Forest, there will be strange crying in the depths of the woodland. Some people say that they have seen evil monsters in it, and some people say that it is the elves in the forest mourning the withering of the trees. There are always many legends. , the authenticity cannot be guaranteed.

"It took us almost a month to get here from Demingham, and from here to Howling Forest, we have to pass through Renas and then take the train... No, the train line here goes directly from Howling Forest. Go around the side of the crying forest, and there is no stop in the middle, what should I do?"

Stephanie sat next to Donald, her fingers slowly swiping along the route map. The Howling Forest was marked with teary eyes, and the black line representing the train line went around it. There are no stations suspended in the middle, and it is directly connected to the next city, Bardock.

"It's normal. There are no people living in places like Howling Forest, and normal people will get off there."

Howling Forest is an undeveloped area, and there are all kinds of strange rumors around it. Naturally, the Ryan Empire will not consider spending a lot of money to build a meaningless platform there.

"It doesn't matter, just jump out of the car when the time comes. Anyway, we don't have any goods to bring with us now relying on the space ring, even the carriage can be put in."

According to Donald's idea, this place must be going, no matter what method.

"Jumping the train... You're putting forward a method that sounds unreliable in an understatement..."

Stephanie covered her face and sat in front of the carriage as Donald did, her eyes stayed on the receding trees next to her. The three horses in front were very stable under the control of Donald. clean up.

"I should be able to reach Reinas before noon today, why don't we cook in the wild, let's go to the city to eat?"

Donald estimated the distance and glanced at the near-bottomed dried fruit in a small plastic tin beside him, which he had bought as he left Delchimo.

"I don't mind. We don't have much ingredients. Hunting in this weather is also a hassle... Look, there seems to be someone ahead."

Anthony, who was riding alone, had a wider vision than the others. In addition, his vision itself had been strengthened, and he could often see far away situations first.

"It seems that there are travelers like us, but they don't seem to choose to go to the city for dinner, maybe they are the team that just came out of Renas City."

"Have you ever seen a black smoke coming out of a fire to cook?"

Looking at Anthony's gaze, Donald saw a cloud of black smoke that was billowing upwards, and an ordinary firewood would not be able to burn this effect. After thinking about it, he said,

"Someone should be burning something, black smoke ... it's not like farmers are burning straw to enrich the soil."

He stretched out his left palm, his mental power swept across the space ring, and a monocular immediately appeared in Donald's hand.

Relying on the tool, Donald immediately saw the details over there.

A group of people are surrounding a tree that is lit... no, that's not a tree.

A man bound to a cross!

"They are burning people!"

Anthony spoke out about the situation ahead of Donald, and immediately clamped his legs on the horse's belly to speed up.

"Burning people?"

The word sounded a little awkward, and Stephanie didn't react for a while.

"It should be the stake, but if I remember correctly, Renas should be a city in a non-religious area, and they do this too?"

In some religious cultures, burning at the stake is specially used to deal with some evil beings, such as vampires, ghouls, or some dark wizards.

On the one hand, religious people generally believe that flames naturally suppress these evil guys, which can prevent them from escaping in the middle of the torture. The soul has to survive and continue to harm people.

It is precisely because the soul is involved that burning at the stake is classified as an extremely severe punishment in many places.

In the Lion Empire, most of the time, the burning of the stake only occurs in the religious area. Few people use the stake in the non-religious area. Even the former must be executed by a person with high morality in the religion after deciding to burn at the stake. Ordinary people do not this qualification.

It's no wonder Anthony has this kind of reaction when this happens near Renas City.

With a whiplash, the carriage accelerated to keep pace with Anthony.

When he got close to the fire in front of him, Donald really saw the people around the stake.

A gray uniform of cotton uniforms, with a rifle behind him, and a long sword that looks mass-produced on his waist. These people should be from the same faction.

"Black goat?"

Stephanie's eyes stayed on the epaulettes on the right shoulders of these people. On the brown background was embroidered a black goat's head, which was undoubtedly the emblem of the faction they belonged to.

"I don't remember a religion marked with black goat heads, it's taboo... What the **** are these people?"

A considerable number of demon images are half human and half sheep, so no religion would choose this image as a sect emblem.

Renas is a non-religious area, and the emblem of the Ryan Empire is a roaring lion, which is obviously not in line with this Montenegro.

So there is only one possibility.

"Private Arms!"

Anthony said in a deep voice.

The people on the stake have been burned to such a degree that they have obviously been burning for a while, and the people in front of them obviously noticed the approach of Donald and his party, and turned around to make a warning.

"who?"

A man with a silver-gray helmet in the opposing team stood up and asked.

"We are travelers passing by here to go to Renas."

"Where's the evidence?"

"Do you still need evidence?"

Anthony pointed to the rut marks on the field behind, and then said,

"Who are you, and why are you using the stake at will?"

Because he didn't know the details of the other party, Anthony deliberately slowed down his tone. They didn't rush over to cause trouble.

"We are the guards of the Talos family. As for the person on the stake, it's not a person at all... Bring the arrest warrant here."

The captain of the guard looked back at the team members beside him, and Donald also took advantage of this moment to look back at Stephanie.

"The Talos family is the ruling family in Reinas City. It is the same as the Garcia family in Demingham. It is best not to conflict with them, if you still want to supply supplies in Reinas."

Stephanie replied after flipping a few pages of a slap-sized notebook from the carriage.

Stephanie has always been an intelligence collector on the team, although Anthony will also be in this role most of the time, but recently she is learning to be on her own, so Donald has given the task of collecting information on the cities they will pass through in the future. he.

"Since you are going to enter Renas, then keep this wanted order. The person above is the criminal we are looking for. He is suspected of stealing, desecrating corpses, and promoting heresy thoughts. If you find out, report the information immediately. There are 50 Remuneration in gold pounds."

The captain of the guard did not embarrass Donald and his party. He held a wanted notice in his hand, compared the faces of Donald and Anthony for a few seconds, then stuffed it into the harness of the horse pulling the cart, and finally glanced at the stake next to him. just left.

"50 gold pounds, it's incredible... This person will not be digging up the graves of the ancestors of the Talos family?"

Donald took the wanted warrant from the straps and held it in his hand. The captain of the guard said just now that the prisoner was suspected of stealing and desecrating corpses. According to the law, this crime would be locked up for a few years at most, and this wanted warrant actually offered a reward of 50 pounds to find him. , obviously not ordinary people.

"It's not like a perverted corpse thief."

Wanted is a sketch portrait of a man with half-length hair combed back, wearing a monocle in his right eye, a chain hanging on the side of his face, with a thin face and a two-way moustache. Like a corpse thief who would desecrate corpses, but somewhat like a knowledgeable scholar.

"Donald! Look at that corpse!"

Stephanie suddenly grabbed Donald's arm~lightnovelpub.net~ and pointed to the burning stake next to it. The existence that had become coke was actually struggling!

"Undead?"

To be able to withstand this kind of fire and continue to move, all Donald can think of is this kind of existence, as if he suddenly realized something, and then said,

"It seems that this person is a necromancer, no wonder his reward is so high."

Corpse Rogue and Necromancer are two very different concepts.

"It's not an undead, it's strange..."

Lilo's voice appeared in Donald's mind at this moment, and she had also emerged from the carriage at some point.
