The three followed Old Man Orson and walked towards the cave.

The closer you get to the cave, the stronger the feeling of unknownness.

Carew and Sharon seemed to be stripped naked and thrown into the snow, their bodies trembling slightly, and their faces were extremely ugly.

They couldn't help asking, "Master Orson, what's in it? Are you picking up something unknown? Although we want money, we can't pick up things randomly!"

Because of picking up some unknown things, disasters occurred, and tragedies that led to the death of oneself and even the complete destruction of family members occurred from time to time.

They still remember that Old Man Orson said to them, "Hunting is hunting. Our targets are beasts and monsters. Other things that they don't know have nothing to do with us, whether they are valuable or not." They did not expect Old Man Orson who had been teaching them this way. He actually violated the principle.

They knew there must be something terrible hidden in the cave, but no matter what they asked, Old Man Orson just said "you will know it when you go in", without explaining to them at all.

They are only a few steps away from the cave, and they don't even need half a minute to know the answer.

The reason why they have been chasing Old Man Orson to ask questions is just because they are really upset.

However, after they glanced at Ryan, they found that Ryan was calm, and they immediately felt relieved.

Although they had only spent a few hours with Ryan, they knew that Ryan was powerful, knowledgeable, and mysterious. They could perceive something stronger than them. Ryan who was stronger than them would certainly be able to perceive it, but Ryan's face didn't have any panic. Prove that Ryan has mostly encountered something similar before.

Not long after, they entered the depths of the cave.

In this dim cave, the faint light from the bonfire could not illuminate the entire cave at all, and the corners around the cave were enveloped in darkness, making people wonder if there were any monsters hidden in the darkness.

As soon as he entered the cave, there was no need for Elder Orson to explain, everyone's eyes looked straight at one of the dark corners.

There was only darkness in that corner without a trace of light, as if they were in another world different from them.

Although they could not see anything, they could feel a dark breath emanating from that dark corner as if from the abyss.

"Guru!"

Carew and Sharon swallowed nervously, their feet stiff in place.

Their eyes looked at Old Man Orson, but they realized that Old Man Orson also looked very nervous.

After taking a few deep breaths, Old Man Orson gathered the courage to slowly approach the dark corner with his trembling feet.

At this time, Ryan walked up and put his hand on the shoulder of Old Man Orson.

Facing the puzzled old man Orson, Ryan explained: "It's up to me. I'm better at dealing with these things."

The old man Orson didn't insist, because just by looking at Ryan's expression and words, he knew that Ryan had encountered similar things.

Under the gaze of the old men of Carew, Sharon, and Orson, Ryan walked into the darkness step by step, and the whole person was swallowed by the darkness. Ryan seemed to have disappeared directly from the cave.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

They stared straight at the dark corner, their hearts beating nervously.

As if a long time had passed, and as if only a moment had passed, they saw Ryan walk out with something in his hands.

Carew and Sharon both thought at the same time: "What is that? Why does it look a bit like a human?"

After Ryan put the "thing" by the bonfire, they saw the appearance of the thing with the help of the fire light from the bonfire, and then they realized to their surprise--

That's a person!

A girl dressed in tattered clothes and dirty all over, judging from the size of her body, she was only twelve or thirteen years old.

Here is the depths of the Scandinavian Mountains, why is there a little girl?

Why does a little girl exude an unknown breath that makes people feel intensely uncomfortable?

Between their doubts, Ryan put his hand on the little girl's forehead, and the next moment, as if being cut off by something, the vague atmosphere in the cave disappeared.

The little girl who was like a cursed object became an ordinary little girl.

Knowing that this was done by Ryan, Karoo, Sharon and Old Orson suddenly stared at Ryan with wide-eyed eyes.

Carew took the lead and asked: "Master Lane, what are you doing?"

Sharon also asked in surprise: "What is the matter with that uncomfortable and unknown breath?"

After being silent for a while, Old Man Orson also asked, "Do you know what this girl is?"

Ryan did not answer immediately.

After carefully examining the little girl's body under everyone's nervous gaze, he turned his head and said to Old Man Orson: "Tell me how you met this little girl."

The three of them sat around the bonfire, roasting bear meat and drinking spirits while listening to Old Man Orson's story.

After the old man Orson took a sulky sip of strong wine, he recalled what happened three days ago, and slowly said: "Karu and Sharon you two left here to hunt for about half a day. You stayed in the cave. I suddenly heard the howling of snow wolves not far away."

"You didn't hear it with your own ears. You can't imagine how crazy the howling sounds are. I've never heard the howling of snow wolves before when I grew up."

"Worrying about the presence of large monsters nearby, I lurked in the direction of the snow wolves."

"Do you know what I saw?"

Speaking of this, Old Man Orson took another sip of wine, "I saw more than a dozen snow wolves screaming and howling crazily, and they continued to bite around a person who had no resistance..."

"It is clear that the snow wolves are besieging and biting a prey that has not resisted, but their movements and roars can tell that they are full of fear, as if they are the victims."

"I just threw a few stone monsters and yelled a few times, and they screamed and fled."

Old man Orson’s eyes fell on the girl lying next to the campfire, “After scaring the snow wolves away, curiously I walked over, wanting to see what made them so crazy and scared, and then I found her. ."

After listening to Old Man Orson’s words, Karu shook his head and said in disbelief, “Although the snow wolves are just a group of low-level beasts, they have been bitten by the snow wolves for so long without resistance. Even high-level knights will be killed. This little girl..."

Sharon also said with a face of disbelief: "Yes, not only did she live well, but even though she was dirty, she didn't have any scars at all. Is this possible? Not even the legendary Paladin. As for a scar, right?"

Faced with these questions, Old Man Orson drank silently, because he couldn't answer at all.

Knowing that they couldn't find the answer when asking Old Man Orson, they could only look at Ryan.

Judging from Ryan's expression, Ryan must know the reason!

But does Ryan know?

The reason why this little girl became like this is not clear to Ryan, but he knows what happened to the little girl.

Her body was demonized by a wizard!

Demonized people's manufacturing technology is very simple, basically as long as a wizard can.

His first teacher, the Green Plague Wizard, had made demonized people, but those demonized people had only the strength of high-level knights.

When he was in Moon God Lake, he also encountered a wizard who was proficient in the technique of creating demonized people, and the demonized people created by that wizard had a strength comparable to that of a paladin.

He later crusaded against a wizard apprentice named Demon Gu Wizard, and the demon gu created by the Demon Gu wizard was a kind of demonized person in a sense.

But the demonic transformation techniques of those people are far from comparable to the wizard who transformed the little girl in front of him!

This magical transformation technique is so subtle that even Ryan couldn't help but admire it.

The witchcraft used to demonize the little girl can actually transform the little girl's body strength to a level comparable to that of a top-level warcraft while retaining the little girl's personal consciousness.

And it's not the end!

From all the details, it can be seen that this little girl's body still has a lot of room for improvement, and can be further demonized. Maybe it can become a demonized person with combat power comparable to the first-level realm.

A wizard who possesses such advanced demonization and transformation technology is definitely not small.

A name appeared in Ryan's mind, the fifty-five demon wizards in the purification sequence!

The Demon Sorcerer is an evil wizard who is well-known for his demonization and transformation technology. It is said that he possesses five demonized people whose combat power is comparable to the pinnacle of the first class.

And the magic wizard is the culprit who turned the city of Gula into a ruin.

only--

The magic wizard was killed by the church as early as fifty years ago!

The church members who disappeared in the ruins of the city of Gula, the little girl whose body was demonized, and the fifty-five demon wizards in the purification sequence...

There are various signs that maybe the magic wizard is not dead?

That evil wizard not only survived, but also returned to the ruins of Gura city fifty years later, planning to conduct some kind of evil experiment?

Ryan felt that his conjecture was indispensable.

However, in the face of the doubtful Kalu, Sharon, and Old Man Orson, he naturally couldn't tell the truth.

He could only answer: "I don’t know exactly what is going on, but I noticed that this little girl has some kind of powerful curse. I will take her to the nearest church after dawn tomorrow to see how it is. What's the matter."

Now that Ryan said so, and the little girl Ryan would help with it, they didn't continue to ask questions.

After the extremely exhausted Karoo and Sharon ate and drank enough, they found a warm corner and went to sleep with animal fur, and soon there was a snoring sound.

By the campfire, Ryan and Old Man Orson sat quietly.

"Crackling..."

The bonfire was constantly burning, and occasionally sparks jumped out of the fire from the bodies of the two ballistic people.

The old man Orson wrinkled his face, and he knew that he was worried. It was obvious that he didn't say everything when he said it.

Ryan was slicing the bear meat and grilling it on the bonfire, looking at the bear oil that was falling down in the flames, while asking Old Man Orson: "Old man, how old are you?"

Old man Orson touched his snow-white beard, and said solemnly: "I'm almost ninety years old."

Ryan stared at Old Man Orson, whose hair and beard were pale and wrinkled, and thought of his father, Earl Tabor, who had recently passed away.

Unlike the old man Orson, who was going to hunt at such an old age, his father, Earl Tabor, was an Earl. He died at the age of eighty.

If you want to talk about the reason, maybe it's because he doesn't want to live anymore.

He was only a baron, and eventually became the Lord Earl of the bears.

He was only an intermediate knight, but finally stepped into the highest realm of knights he dreamed of, the realm of paladins.

And the children have grown up and grown beyond his imagination, there is no need for him to help.

There are no regrets in his life. He doesn't know what to do to survive. He has no nostalgia for this world. His only wish is to stay with his beloved wife who left him a long time ago.

When a person wants to die, no one can save him.

Even Ryan, the strongest pharmacist of the first-level realm, is the same.

Recalling his father, Earl Tabor, Ryan lost his senses for a while.

After he came back to his senses, he asked Old Man Orson, "Old Man Orson, how much do you know about the ruins of Gula City?"

When the old man Orson heard the words "Gula City", his face changed obviously, and he said solemnly: "What are you asking about this matter?"

Ryan was too lazy to lie and lie, he said directly: "You should see that I am not an ordinary person? Are you not curious about the reason why I am here? Actually, I heard that something happened in the ancient city ruins recently. I came here to make adjustments deliberately."

"The curse on this little girl should also be related to the ancient city ruins."

After hearing that the little girl had something to do with Gura City, Old Man Orson’s expression changed ~lightnovelpub.net~ Seeing this, Ryan quickly asked: "You know that this little girl will cause you trouble. , But still brought her back to this cave. Must be aware of something, right?"

The old man Orson was silent for a long time before he said: "...she is very similar to an old friend of mine in Gula City."

Seeing Ryan still wanting to ask questions, Old Man Orson shook his head and said, “I don’t know much about Gula City. I only know that Gula City was flooded by an avalanche due to a small earthquake fifty years ago. Listen Said that none of the people living in the city of Gula came down."

"The reason why I chose to bring her back is only because she is very similar to the old person I know. I don't know what happened to the ancient city ruins."

Ryan could see that Old Man Orson didn't lie, and he really didn't know much about the ruins of Gula City.

Knowing that Old Man Orson didn't want to continue discussing this matter, Ryan took a sip from the wine bowl and said, "This wine is pretty good."

Old man Orson proudly said: "I learned this from my father. The brewing technique passed down from generation to generation in our family is absolutely unique in our town!"
