Templar Sun King

Chapter 13 Ghost
At dinner time Arras returned with good news.

"An ancient castle that may be haunted by ghosts." Looking at the mission statement brought back by Arras, Adam felt a little happy.

To be honest, Adam also thought about promoting the healing art treatment service directly in Falcon City, and raising the professional level while receiving remuneration.

However, considering that this is too high-profile and likely to attract people who want to interfere, he can only regretfully put this plan on hold for the time being.

Even more important is the one thing Arras mentioned to Adam.

'The Southern Noble Council has the support of the Church of Dawn, which is a church that believes in the Lord of Dawn, and the priests are best at various healing and defensive spells.However, they have no market in the Federation of Seven Cities, which even expressly prohibits anyone from believing in the Lord of Dawn. For example, there is such a decree in Goldberg. '

'It is also worth noting that the Church of the Dawn has a close relationship with the Silver Tower established by Master Uppler Shangbai.Sir, if you do this, there is a high possibility that the higher-ups of Falcon City will mistakenly think that the friendly forces of the Church of Dawn are making trouble in the city. '

The Silver Tower is an alliance formed by the white mages on Uppler to jointly protect the interests of the white mages on Uppler.

The white mage is good at healing and defense, and it can basically be regarded as a natural opposition to dark and undead creatures.These characteristics are in line with the philosophy of the Church of Dawn, so the two have always had a good relationship and have a lot of cooperation with each other.

Of course, this information was also told by Arras to Adam.

Because Adam still knew nothing about the Silver Tower.Arras has also resigned to his fate. As long as Adam needs it, he can quickly say anything he knows.More importantly, although he has curiosity, it is deeply buried in his heart.This made Adam very satisfied.

After listening to Arras' explanation, Adam felt like he had chosen the wrong camp.

If it was true what Arras said, he should not have come to Falcon City, but to the Southern Noble Council.In the sphere of influence of the Church of Dawn, he, the fake White Mage, should be more popular.

However, the most important thing now is to increase the professional level. If the level goes up, even if he leaves Falcon City, he will still have a place to be chic.

"Yes, sir." Arras obviously did his homework and told Adam all the information about the castle.

"I asked Old John in the tavern. This castle was originally owned by Baron Charles in Falcon City. But a year ago, women's cries and screams would come from the castle every midnight. Several maids were found dead in the room at dawn. Baron Charles once invited several mages to exterminate the ghosts, but they never returned."

"Poor Baron Charles is not young anymore. He was frightened by the ghost and moved out of the castle a long time ago. Because he has lost two mages and several fighters, no other adventurers dare to take over this task. Sir, Are you sure you want to accept this mission?"

"Of course, otherwise I asked you to inquire about the mission." What Adam needs most now is this kind of mission about dark and undead creatures. The commission is second, and the key is to upgrade their professional level after purifying them.

Now he is a priest with a career level of 3, which is equivalent to the black iron middle level in this world.When facing dark and undead creatures, he can gain a restraint advantage by virtue of the advantages of the temple spell, and Jerome is the best example.

But what if the enemies aren't dark and undead creatures?This world is not as stable and harmonious as modern society, where strength matters.

Judging from the information given by Arras, it is short of blatantly declaring that power is justice.That's why he was eager to improve his professional level.

Only when the professional level goes up, can he learn brand new temple spells, and of course recruit new troops.

"But there is one thing you got wrong." Adam stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth, took the napkin and wiped his mouth. "It's not that I accept the task alone, you will set off with me tomorrow."

***
The next morning, Adam finally arrived at the mission description location with seven militiamen and Arras.

It was an ancient castle located on the outskirts of Falcon City, built against a mountain.I don't know if it's an illusion, it's obviously daytime, but the gray-black exterior walls and tall spires make this castle look like a crime scene in a ghost movie.

When he was halfway up the mountain, Adam felt a dark breath emanating from the castle.Sure enough, there are ghosts!

Arras was a little scared, but thinking that he was now a follower of Adam, the White Mage, and thinking that he shamelessly compared himself to Charlemagne the Conqueror a day ago, he had to bravely walk with the two militiamen Lead the way.

Compared to Arras' contradictions, Adam seemed much calmer.

It's not that he's not afraid of ghosts at all, in fact he is terribly afraid in modern society.But who told Adam to learn spells now, especially the temple spells that have a major restraint effect on ghosts and the like.

Pushing the door of the ancient castle, it was dark inside.

Arras's voice was trembling, "Sir, are we really going in now? The mission description says that ghosts appear at night."

"What are you afraid of? A confident man is the bravest." Adam summoned seven spirits from the sanctuary space.

"I'm just worried that the trip will be in vain." As if to prove that he was not afraid, Aras gritted his teeth and walked into the castle first.

The football-sized bodies of the light spirits suddenly emitted a faint halo, which looked like a large lamp.

Light spell, one of the three spells that the spirits know.Seven light spirits entered the gate, and the soft light emitted from their bodies illuminated the castle.

Enter the castle in turn, which is the hall on the first floor.The supposedly magnificent hall looked a bit gloomy, and the exquisite oil paintings were even covered with cobwebs, making them very dilapidated.

"Xia En, Holy Shield!"

Milky white rays of light emerged from the seven light spirits and fell on everyone, with a sacred shield in front of them.

This kind of shield Aras had seen on the night Jerome attacked, and it could defend against a blood race's frontal attack.Although some of this is due to the relationship between attributes, but it is also enough to explain the extraordinaryness of the sacred shield.

Thinking about it this way, Arras seemed much more confident.

"Sir, should we take a look at the first floor first or go directly to the second floor where the ghost haunts." According to the mission description, the ghost has been wandering around the second floor, which used to be the residence of the servants in the castle.Several maids died in the rooms on the second floor.

"Go directly to the second floor." In Adam's induction, the strongest dark atmosphere is on the second floor, which is obviously the ghost on the mission.

Guang Lingfei was at the front to light up the road, and Adam led everyone to the second floor.At the moment when the last militiaman stepped on the second floor, a gust of wind suddenly blew over, and then Adam saw a woman's figure emerging from the darkness.

ghost!

She has a ghostly green illusory transparent form, a distorted face, and wears an equally illusory tattered skirt, which looks very scary.You can even see the rooms behind her through her body.

When the ghost saw Adam and his party, a ferocious smile appeared on his distorted face, he giggled, and then opened his mouth wide, letting out a sharp cry.

Adam felt that if there was such a thing as glass, it must have all been shattered under the howling of the ghost by now.Her screams were so excruciating.

Without Adam's order, the light spirits have already begun to attack.

Two rays of holy light emerged from the body of the light spirit and landed on the ghost accurately.Just persisting for a few seconds, the phantom's transparent and illusory form dissipated and was completely purified.

Rubbing his ears, Aras asked in surprise, "Is this the end?"

"No, it's just the beginning."

At this time, the howling of ghosts was still echoing in the castle, and several piercing cries echoed in the darkness.

Then Adam saw ten ghosts, both men and women, emerging from the darkness, surrounding Adam and his party.Adam noticed that two of the ghosts were very solid, and they held an illusory wand in their hands.

The advanced form of the ghost, Wraith!
