Son of the Olden Days

The entire letter was carefully rolled up and put into the small portable cylinder on the back of the letter crow. When the figure of the letter crow spreading its wings disappeared into the dark sky, the old Evano returned to his fireplace in relief.

In fact, if the dark council or the magic guild sends messages by themselves, there is a more convenient way of communication, and even after a sufficient amount of magic crystals are consumed, you can also directly talk with the distant deity through the magic projection.

However, the old Avanno has left the system for many years, and various channels have naturally lost the right to use. Therefore, this letter, which is obviously accompanied by a private character, can only be done through this primitive and ancient direct investment method.

The letter crow went all the way north, tossed and changed several times.

Flew through the wilderness and forest, flew over the dilapidated tower, flew over the broken wall of the ruins, and finally reached the main city of the entire southern region, Odrensa, and flew into a castle-like spire.

The recipient interpreted the news brought by the letter crow, and then sent the little guy into the cage to soothe the dust.

After seeing the content on the cover clearly, the recipient did not dare to delay. After several layers of transmission, the letter was quickly delivered to the inner house.

An old man who looked like a family housekeeper gently opened the door of the study with a letter and saw the figure lying in a soft-backed recliner in front of the fireplace taking a nap. The old housekeeper remained respectful and stood by with his hands down.

The old butler seized the opportunity to bend over and whisper until the person in the recliner heard the movement of turning over.

"Master, a strange letter came just now."

After some consideration, the old butler used the word "strange" because only the recipient was written on the envelope, but there was no signature and address of the sender. As Setin's three elders, this is a bit informal and not polite.

After entering the dark calendar, the dark temple abandoned the old monarchy, and adopted the parliamentary system to maintain the power of the gods. There are 24 seats in the council composed of powerful families, and then the cabinet is composed of three elder seats jointly elected.

"Which uneasy guy again? I want to find something for the old man in this weather." Setin in the recliner licked some dry lips, took a sip of the half-warm tea next to him. Then smiled and scolded and took the letter from the housekeeper.

Setin looked like he was in his early fifties, and he was a spirited old man, with few wrinkles, and a little black hair with a small braid in the back of his head.

His actual age is actually much older than it seems, but the life boundaries of people who have studied magic for many years are often longer than ordinary people, and his appearance is affected more slowly by the years.

"Unexpectedly, it's the old guy Ivano, the rude old thing, and the style is still so rigid."

"Oh, this is my old friend. I haven't contacted him for some years, but I heard that he can't even remember who he is? Unexpectedly, he is still alive and kicking. Let me see what trouble he is causing. "

Obviously, this letter aroused the interest of the old Patriarch Setin, and he explained it to the old housekeeper with half emotion and half embarrassment. After rubbing the inscription on the envelope with his finger, the warning effect of the envelope was lifted after the subtle magical brilliance.

"God, Grayscreen Town! It's really far enough..." At first, Setin would make a few jokes, but as he read deeper, his brows slowly frowned.

After reading the letter, he handed the letter to the old housekeeper beside him. Setin clasped his hands in front of his chest, and put the straight soles of the feet on the footstool close to the high-grade stone fireplace, and then the whole person fell into thinking.

He felt that it was a bit difficult to judge for a while, because the borderland of Gray Screen Town was far enough, and this vague letter was more like a distant story. This abrupt letter from my old friend seemed to be an early warning, but it also seemed to say nothing.

And many of the terms are not very accurate. They only refer to a young man in the small town called Sol’s Tombkeeper.

Then he used the word ‘suspect’, saying that he felt the breath of undead magic in his body, but there was no real sight and evidence, and no extreme evil incident broke out in the local area.

It stands to reason that this kind of matter should be handed over to the local religious court first, or the local power in power should be involved in the investigation, and the results should be sent back.

But this old friend of my own didn't know that it was the convenience of friendship? Or is the matter so serious that it must be reported by a leapfrog? All in all, it was really a headache for this incident to go beyond the formal way to myself.

"It's such an old thing to worry about." In the end, Setin smiled and cursed again, as if seeing an old friend in the distance looking at him with a stinking face and said, anyway, I have already told you what to do, how to do it yourself .

"Master, the content of this letter seems a bit vague..." After reading the letter, the butler had his own judgment and tried to follow the Patriarch's thoughts.

"Forget it, hang out by D-stage, after all, you still have to go and take a look! Oh, it's C-stage, after all, it's not easy to travel far in this **** weather." Setin waved his hand and no longer struggled. , Fell into his own memories.

The old butler originally wanted to directly hand over to the person in charge, but after thinking about it, he personally rewritten the content of the letter, and the final content became:

"A suspected necromancer appeared in Gray Screen Town in the southern border of Savien Territory recently. Please team willing to accept the task to investigate locally. This task is a C-level task. If you are interested, please go to the Dark Cross headquarters to learn about it. Details."

In the end, this letter turned into a mission commission in a blink of an eye and hung on the bulletin board in the Dark Cross mission hall.

Necromancer? Saul might have laughed a frog if he saw it, but he didn't know anything in the distance.

Not long after the mission hung out, the captain of the seventh team of Dark Cross, a man named Hank with a small beard, tore off the commission on the bulletin board, and then went to the Dark Cross headquarters to learn more.

In the tavern, the members of the seventh team gathered.

In addition to Captain Hank himself, there are five other team members, three men and two women.

"God! Grayscreen Town? Is there such a place on this continent? Why do we want to go to the barren land in this **** weather." A male member of the team immediately complained after hearing Hank's words.

Although the other people in the team did not follow along, there was a more or less sad look on their faces.

Captain Hank smiled and picked up the jar and touched the talking male member.

"I know you have complaints, but our points should also go up. Otherwise, when we arrange for you to guard the city gate, you will have enough time to complain."

"The reason why I took this task is that I think it is an overestimated task. It shouldn't be difficult in practice, or maybe not even C-level at all, and it may not be a hard job?"

"Oh? Not hard work?" The faces of all the team members showed interest, waiting for the captain to answer.

"First of all, this is not an extermination mission. There may be fighting risks, but the target is said to be just a first-order little guy, who just passed the coming-of-age ceremony, and is the tombkeeper of the small town. Since Dark Cross wants the truth, we only Just bring people back."

"Secondly, this is not a short-term task. The reason why you feel that the hardship is nothing more than the long journey."

"And I think we can go straight to Pandor City through the teleportation array inside the parliament, so that the journey is almost halfway there. Then we can enjoy the local hot springs there until we hit the road in the last few days of winter, just in time to reach the target zone in spring. ."

"However, Ye Xiao still has to work harder this time, walking ahead of everyone." Captain Hank added at last.

"Damn it, why am I playing the outpost again? This is not fair!" The team member known as Ye Xiao slapped the table, but his protest was quickly drowned out by the support of the team.

"Captain wise!"

The matter was so decided.

——————

The furnishings in the tombkeeper's hut maintain the characteristics of most poor civilians, simple and poor.

There is a small square table in the middle of the room. Two low stools stand on the side of the table. In addition to a few hip flasks and wine glasses, burnt candlesticks and plates of leftovers are placed on the table.

The faint aroma of wine wafting from the jug can smell the taste of fruit wine. This wine is not strong and the brewing process is very simple. It is very popular among civilians because of its moderate price.

The wine was brought by Shuggs.

In a blink of an eye, the cold winter finally rushed to the end, and the earth gradually smelled of spring.

When it was about to fall into the night last night, Thor finally saw Shuggs who hadn't seen him in the whole winter.

The two raised their glasses at the table and had a brief conversation. Shuggs looked pale, coughing from time to time, facing Saul's concerned gaze, he just waved his hand and said that the road was a bit cold.

The arrival of Shuggs brought two news roughly.

First, the carriage caravan from Yuanmu Town brought a new batch of goods, nothing more than some animal skins, fabrics, miscellaneous grains, and weapons of decent quality.

In addition to the goods, there are several beautiful women. It is worth mentioning that there are two mixed races among them. If you want to catch up and have some fun, you should be as early as possible.

The second is that Shuggs mentioned that he had gone hunting with a mercenary team in the cold winter, and accidentally found an ancient tomb in a mountainous area, located on the east side of the business road from Gray Screen Town to Yuanmu Town.

So I came to ask Saul if he would like to partner and take another risk with him.

The ancient tomb means that there may be hidden magic weapons, antiques, magic scrolls and other expensive goods to bury, and there may also be unimaginable dangers in the world.

Listening to Shuggs' words, Saul raised his head with emotion. How long has this guy not mentioned the topic of women, and for a moment, Saul even thought that the wound in Shuggs's heart was finally healed by time.

But when he looked up, he was still full of strangers.

Shuggs's young face had a look of wind and frost, and the cynicism of the past has gradually disappeared. It seems that he has changed a little since Coville left, but Sol can't tell what is the specific difference.

Saul didn't have much interest in the news brought by Shuggs, but in the end he agreed to Shuggs' invitation to visit the tomb.

Two people have not done anything together for a long time.
