Chapter 44

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 the ancient books of the Demigod.

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

Claremont said that he discovered the ancient book at that time and found nothing but that.

Donald believed his words, but that doesn't mean there is really nothing else in that place.

You should know that when Claremont discovered the ancient book of Demigod, he was an ordinary person. In Donald's view, some special objects in the cave were not sensed at all. For example, the corpse of a tree man. If it was really a demigod, its corpse itself would be a very valuable resource.

"We are here, and Claremont discovered that the ancient book of the Demigod is here... Howling Forest."

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

Rumors are that howling forests will have strange crying deep in the woodland every night. Some people say that they have seen evil monsters in it, and some people say that this is the elves in the forest are sad about the withering of trees. There are always many legends, but the authenticity cannot be guaranteed.

"It took us nearly a month to get here from Demingham. From here to the Howling Forest, we have to pass Renas first and then take the train... It's not right. The train line here goes directly from the Howling Forest, and there is no stop in the middle. What should we do?"

Stephanie sat next to Donald, her fingers slowly drew over the road map. The sign of the Howling Forest was a pair of tears, while the black lines representing the train line circled around it, without any platform that was suspended in the middle, directly connected to the next city, Badak.

"This is very normal. There are no people living in places like Howling Forest. Who would get off there?"

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

"It doesn't matter. Just jump off the car then. Anyway, we don't have much goods to bring with us now, even the carriage can be taken in by the space ring."

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

"Jumping the train... You have proposed a method that sounds unreliable..."

Stephanie covered her face and imitated Donald to sit in front of the carriage, her eyes stayed at Lin Mu who was retreating beside her. The three horses in front were moving forward very steadily under Donald's control. Some obstacles along the way were also cleaned up by mental power early.

"We should be able to go to Renas before noon today, otherwise we should not cook in the wild and eat in the city?"

Donald estimated the distance and glanced at the dried fruit in a small plastic can beside him, and when he left Delchimo, he had bought it in quantity.

"I have no objection. We don't have much ingredients anymore. Hunting in this kind of weather is also a troublesome... You see, there seems to be someone in front of you."

Anthony, who was riding alone, had a wider vision than the others. In addition, his vision itself has been strengthened, and he can often see the situation in the distance first.

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

"Have you ever seen the smoke coming out of cooking with fire is black?"

Following Anthony's gaze, Donald saw that it was a ball of black smoke that was rising. The ordinary firewood naturally could not burn this effect. He thought about it and said,

"It should be someone burning something, black smoke... it's not like the behavior of farmers burning straw and fertilizing the soil."

Extending his left palm flat, his mental power swept across the space ring, and a monocular telescope immediately appeared in Donald's hand.

With the tools, Donald immediately saw the details there.

A group of people were surrounding a lit tree... No, that was not a tree.

A man tied to a cross!

"They are burning people!"

Anthony spoke out the situation over there before Donald, then clamped his legs to the horse's belly and accelerated his movements.

"Burn people?"

This word sounds a bit awkward, and Stephanie hasn't reacted for a while.

"It should be a stolen frame, but if I remember correctly, Renas should be a non-religious city. Are they happy with this?"

In some religious cultures, stolen is specifically used to deal with some evil existences, such as vampires, ghouls or some dark wizards.

On the one hand, religious people generally believe that flames have natural suppression on these evil guys, which can prevent them from escaping during the torture. On the other hand, some people believe that stolen can burn their bodies and souls at the same time, which can prevent the black wizard from using some secret method to keep their souls alive and continue to harm people.

It is precisely because of the involvement of the soul that stolen punishments are included in extremely severe punishments in many places, and most death row prisoners only use hanging as a way to end their lives.

In the Ryan Empire, stakes only appear in religious areas most of the time. There are very few stolen straits in non-religious areas. Even the former must be executed by people with high moral values ​​in religion after deciding to perform stolen. Ordinary people do not have this qualification.

It's no wonder Anthony reacted like this near the city of Reinas.

Waving the whip, the carriage accelerated to keep up with Anthony's pace.

After approaching the fire in front, Donald truly saw the people surrounding the stolen rack.

The gray uniform cotton uniform is covered with a rifle behind her back and a long sword that looks like it is mass-produced. These people should be from the same force.

"Black goat?"

Stephanie's eyes were resting on the ellipse on the right shoulder of these people, and the brown base was embroidered with a black goat head, which was undoubtedly the emblem of their power.

"I don't remember the religion marked with black goat heads. This is a taboo...who are these people from?"

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

Renas is a non-religious area, and the emblem of the Ryan Empire is the Roaring Lion, which obviously does not match the Montenegro.

So there is only one possibility.

"Private armed!"

Anthony said in a deep voice.

The people on the stake had been burned to pieces, obviously they had been burning for a while, and the people in front of them obviously noticed the approaching of Donald and his group, and turned around to take a warning.

"Who?"

A man in the other party's team stood up and asked.

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

"Where is the evidence?"

"Is there any evidence?"

Anthony pointed to the ruts on the field behind, and then said,

"Who are you? Why do you use the stolen rack at will?"

Because they didn't know the other party's background, Anthony deliberately slowed down his tone. They didn't rush over to cause trouble.

"We are the guards of the Taros family, and as for the stolen rack, they are not human at all... take the wanted order."

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

"The Taros family is the ruler of Renas, and it means the same as the Garcia family in Demingham. It is best not to have conflicts with them, if you still want to provide supplies in Renas."

Take out a palm-sized note from the carriage, and after looking through a few pages, Stephanie replied.

Stephanie has always been an intelligence collector in the team. Although Anthony will also play this role most of the time, she is learning to be independent recently, so Donald handed him over the mission of collecting urban intelligence they will go through in the future.

"Since you are going to enter Renas, then please hold this wanted order. The person above is the criminal we are trying to arrest. He is suspected of stealing, blaspheming the body, and promoting heresy ideas. If you find out, report the news immediately and receive a reward of 50 pounds."

The captain of the guard did not make things difficult for Donald and his group. He held a wanted warrant in his hand, compared Donald and Anthony's face for a few seconds, and stuffed it on the strap of the horse pulling the cart. Finally, he looked at the stolen frame next to him before leaving.

"50 gold pounds, it's amazing... This man dug up the tomb of the ancestors of the Taros family, right?"

Donald drew the wanted order from the strap and took it in his hand. The captain of the guard just said that the prisoner was suspected of stealing and blaspheming the body. This crime was closed for at most a few years according to the law. The wanted order actually offered a reward of 50 gold pounds to find him, which was obviously not an ordinary person.

"It doesn't look like a perverted corpse thief."

The wanted warrant is a sketch of a man, with half-length hair combed into a back-back hairstyle, wearing monocles of glasses on his right eye, a chain hanging on the side of his face, a little thin and two beards, not only does he look like a corpse thief who will desecrate the body, but he looks a bit like a knowledgeable scholar.

"Donald! Look at that corpse!"

Stephanie suddenly grabbed Donald's arm and pointed to the burning stolen rack next to her. The existence that had become coke was actually struggling at this time!

"Undead?"

To withstand this fire and continue to move, Donald could think of this existence, as if he suddenly realized something, and then said,

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

The corpse thief and the undead wizard are two different concepts.

"It's not a dead soul, it's strange..."
