Chapter 361: The Village of the Undead

Chapter 355 – Undead Village
The night was silent, and the next morning, Owen left Stone Wheel Town under the watchful eyes of the guard captain who was keeping a close eye on him, as for last night’s thieves, he never cared about them and it wasn’t worth wasting time.

However, before he could walk out a hundred meters away, there was the sound of hoofbeats from behind him, a knight in noble armor walked out of the town with twenty heavily armed soldiers and a few adventurers, one of whom was last night’s thief.

Upon seeing that thief’s eyes roll back in his head and run to the side of the leading knight, Owen knew that trouble was coming.

As expected, the leading knight then turned his horse around and came to him, opening his mouth to ask.

“Mage, sorcerer, or warlock?”

“All of them.” Owen smiled and said, he really wasn’t lying, his power sources were indeed complex and diverse.

“In the name of the lord of Stone Wheel Town, Baron Orlan, a mission is issued to destroy the undead village, the total mission bounty is three hundred gold coins, distributed according to the size of the contribution, as a spell caster, you can receive an extra share.” Baron Orlan didn’t care what profession Owen was, as long as he was a spell caster, so he said blandly, that look didn’t even think Owen would refuse, and he didn’t know who gave him the confidence.

“I remembered that casters are hated here.” Owen rubbed the staff in his hand and looked up to Baron Orlan.

“Yes, a mad mage slaughtered an entire village of hundreds of people and countless other travelers passing through, I have reason to hate them.” Baron Orlan’s eyes stared at Owen from the narrow slit of his full-coverage helmet while saying.

“Quite annoying indeed.” Owen said with a nod, which made Baron Orlan’s attitude a little better.

Owen agreed and joined the team, then stared at the thief last night and did not say anything but just laughed, the other party laughed at the heart of the hairy, at the same time the heart regretted, after all, just as if he did not see anything, why bother to get the other party into the team, more than one person to share the money not to mention that, in case of the start of the war when the pit themselves a hand, death do not know how to die.

“Don’t worry, I’m very ethical, never pit my teammates.” Owen could see the other party’s nervousness, smiled and patted his shoulder, causing the other party to shiver and barely return a smile, obviously he didn’t believe it.

The undead village was not too far away from Stone Wheel Town, when the sky was bright, the party arrived, no wonder Baron Oran, who was the lord of Stone Wheel Town, couldn’t sit still, it was really because the two sides were too close to each other, it was too insecure.

And the undead village is too close to the road, there have been many travelers and caravans killed, equivalent to the road to the town cut in half, a short time is okay, a long time, the town can not resist the loss of taxes.

At this time, the thief moved his hands and feet, with the help of trees and shadows quietly sneak into the village, Owen would have liked to stop, after all, the undead are not relying on vision to find the enemy, but in his perception, the other side is able to use the power of the shadows to hide their own breath, and immediately realized that this is the other side of the professional ability, no wonder he dared to enter the village of the undead alone.

The thief’s movements were extraordinarily light and soft, without bringing up the slightest sound of wind or creating any noise, the whole person was like a ghost sneaking into the silent village.

This hand is the thief’s specialty, after all, the thief is not an assassin, not a thief, in addition to a hand, all rely on sneaking, lock picking and escaping to make a living, can not pass the test is not hanged, or cut off the hand by begging for a living.

Flying over the wall, through the house, a number of snooping down, the thief’s heart has a number, and quietly and quietly exit the village.

He did not know, just left, originally in the daytime into a state of slumber of the undead, has already lit the skull in the soul of the fire.

As soon as the thief came back, he told the information he had collected, and at the same time, he drew a simple map on the ground with a tree branch, looking very professional.

However, Baron Orlan did not have much joy, because what the thief had probed were all superficial things, if the undead village was so simple, he would not have hesitated for so long before taking action. In fact, in the undead village, there is not only a skeleton mage, there is also a suture monster, a while ago, a wizard even died, if also turned into undead, the situation will be even more difficult.

Skeleton mage is not easy enough to deal with, suture monster is even a hundred enemy level of existence, even he did not have a few chances of victory, not to mention a one-to-three, which is the reason why he hired a few adventurers.

“We can set traps and lure the undead in to kill them through luring.” The ranger in the group put forward his opinion, Baron Orlan nodded and assigned a few of his soldiers to set up traps, as for whether it worked or not, it was better than nothing.

Owen didn’t make any comments during the entire process, he was just observing from the shadows.

Baron Oran, according to the professional level belongs to the intermediate knight, that is, able to skillfully use the fighting qi, at the same time the physique is not bad, with the fine armor weapon, belongs to the level of a hundred enemies.

Soldiers, although the number is not large, but the physical quality is okay, between swordsman and longswordsman, just do not know how the battle skills.

In addition to thieves and rangers, there is also a warrior and a knight on foot, it is hard to say how strong they are, because the combat power of professionals fluctuates from high to low, it all depends on how they play.

When the sunlight poured down from above, the action began.

The undead didn’t like the sunlight, and were either hiding in the cellar or staying in their rooms, but their hatred for the living made the undead overcome their aversion to the sunlight, and rushed out with black smoke, trying to dismantle the thief who had intentionally shown his tracks.

But the thief’s plan failed when the skeleton mage appeared, and the undead retreated back into the gloom.

But the thief who was prepared for this threw out a special flask, this thing belongs to a kind of alchemy product, although the price is more expensive, but it is really good, the undead if they don’t come out, they can only accept the cremation.

The necromancer holding the white bone staff, the soul fire in the eye socket flickered for a moment, the jawbone clicked a few times, a large area of black smoke began to spread in all directions.

This was not a necromancy spell, nor did it have any killing power, it was just pure smoke, the only feature was that it was impervious to light, suitable for use in special scenarios, such as now.

With the black smoke covering them, the undead finally didn’t have to be afraid of the sunlight and crawled out from all corners.

Most of the undead were skeleton soldiers transformed by the villagers, but the base was so poor that even if they were transformed into skeleton soldiers, the bone strength was slightly insufficient, this could be seen from the movement of the one card.

On top of that, there were also some merchant guards transformed into Skeleton Warriors.

Twenty soldiers stood at the entrance of the undead village, mustering up the courage to go to war with the undead, and the warriors and walking knights also joined in, taking the lead so that the soldiers wouldn’t collapse.

The Thief and the Ranger, each used their own means to lure away a group of Skeleton Soldiers, lowering the pressure they faced, but the key to victory still depended on whether the Skeleton Mage and the Suture Monster could be eliminated or not.
