The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 36 Haunted

The bright moonlight fell on the alleys of Stone Bell City, and melodious music came from the tavern, like a nocturne.

Through the window, you can see the stove burning brightly inside, giving off a warm glow.

The wooden sign at the door reads "Golden Wheat Tavern".

Sunan pushed open the wooden door and walked in. The bustle and bustle suddenly hit her face.

The smell of hormones filled it, mixed with the strong smell of alcohol.

The rude men were drinking wine while the maids dressed in coquettish costumes were carrying plates and shuttled between the tables and chairs, their white thighs dazzling people's eyes.

Su Nan found a table in the corner and sat down. He took out a few silver coins and stuffed them into the chest of the passing maid.

"Same old."

The maid winked at him, then brought a glass of ale and some food.

Ale wine has low alcohol content, no aroma, rough taste, turbid liquid, and a sour taste. However, even this kind of wine is a rare enjoyment for the people at the bottom, and most people are satisfied just by ordering a glass.

Sunan rarely drinks alcohol, but the ones he has tasted are mostly top-quality wines. The low-quality ale in the tavern is really difficult for him to drink.

The food is also the simplest cooking method. There is no seasoning such as pepper, MSG, soy sauce, honey, butter, etc. It is just a matter of adding salt after cooking and grilling.

In this world, sugar is a luxury product, and spices are extremely expensive, basically only appearing on the tables of nobles.

The reason why Sunan ordered ale and food was just to suit the occasion and avoid being too conspicuous in the tavern.

Under normal circumstances, the tavern is a good place to brag and show off. Here you can hear all kinds of drunkards bragging about their glorious past experiences. So after coming to Stone Bell City, Sunan would come to the tavern every evening to sit and inquire. Send information.

The rest of the time was spent secretly exploring the Spark Cult's stronghold near Stone Bell City, which was interrogated by the Black Sword Knight.

Unfortunately, there was no harvest for three consecutive days.

"If we can't find anything tonight, we'll arrest someone for interrogation."

Sunan thought silently.

At this time, the chat at the next table suddenly came to my ears.

"Have you heard that Lord Cubero's manor in the north of the city is haunted?"

"Ghost? Stop talking nonsense. How can there be ghosts in this world?"

"To be honest, my brother-in-law served as a soldier under Lord Cubero. After the manor became haunted, Lord Cubero moved out and sent a few knights inside. As a result, no one came out for several days. , now the whole manor is blocked!"

"Really or not, even the knight is dead?"

"If it's really a ghost, it's normal that the knight can't beat it."

"By the way, is the ghost a boy or a girl?"

"What, Lance, are you also interested in the female ghost?"

"Hehe, it's not impossible if you look pretty."

A group of people burst into laughter, and the topic quickly turned to women and the lower body.

Sunan on the side showed a thoughtful expression.

As for ghosts, they do exist in this world.

The most common ones are ghosts.

Generally speaking, people who die violently are most likely to transform into ghosts.

The appearance of the ghost is the same as in life. In most cases, traces of the violence suffered during death can be seen on the body.

However, the damage caused by the ghost is very low. Even if it possesses a human, it will only make people feel chilly.

It is also difficult for normal humans to see ghosts.

In addition, ghosts cannot be exposed to sunlight, will become weak and weak in the sun, and will disappear in a short time.

Even without sunlight, ghosts generally cannot survive for long in the material world.

If ghosts are considered harmless, then resentful spirits are ghosts that can actually kill people.

Wraiths usually harbor such strong hatred during their lives that they cannot rest in peace after death, but instead transform into undead creatures who only want revenge.

The formed resentful soul can absorb the energy of humans by contacting them, or control humans with weak willpower through mental hypnosis.

This incorporeal creature is immune to physical damage and is very deadly to ordinary people. Only knights who have mastered fighting spirit can harm them. If the resentful soul kills enough humans and absorbs enough soul energy, it will advance into a powerful evil spirit.

Evil spirits usually have earth-bound properties and will occupy a territory and transform it into a ghost realm.

The formed evil spirits are not afraid of sunlight or physical damage. Not to mention knights, even great knights may not be able to deal with them.

On top of the evil spirits, there are also evil spirit aberrations, evil spirits, etc.

Among them, evil spirits are already terrifying existences that can bring disaster to a country.

The emergence of every evil spirit is often accompanied by the demise of a country.

Judging from the words of those drunkards just now, if Cubero Manor is really haunted, it is probably caused by evil spirits.

"Evil spirit?"

Sunan was slightly moved.

Evil spirits are good materials for making soul crystals.

If he could get a soul crystal, he could create a puppet more powerful than the Black Rock Leopard.

"Forget it, let's focus on the Spark Cult matters for now. It's not too late to investigate the evil spirits matter later."

After listening to the information for a while, Su Nan got up and walked towards the second floor.

The Golden Mai Tavern also provides accommodation services, and he has been staying in the tavern's room these days.

Not far away, several waitresses stared at the back of Sunan going upstairs and whispered.

"I guess he must be a noble. He has more temperament and is more handsome than the second young master Erwin I have seen before."

"How can Master Erwin compare with him? Yesterday I accidentally touched his arm. Darling, the muscles are strong. He doesn't look strong. I didn't expect him to be so promising."

"Is Xiao Nizi in heat?"

"Bah, I don't believe you are not moved!"

"Hehe, if you really want to, you can knock on someone's door at night and ask if you want a massage. Maybe we can have some romantic relationships."

"That's a good idea, Sandy. If you don't go, I won't be polite."

"I didn't say not to go. Wait, I'm going to give him a try tonight!"

A group of waitresses were laughing and making a fuss, causing many of the surrounding drinkers to cast fiery glances at them.

late at night.

Sandy specially changed into a shorter waitress uniform, lowered her collar, came to the room where Sunan lived, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Ta-ta!

No one responded.

"Guest, do you need massage service?"

Sandy knocked a few more times, but still no one responded.

"Did you fall asleep?"

Sandy was suddenly discouraged.

At this time, the door next to her opened with a creak, and a man stuck his head out. When he saw Sandy, a lewd smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Does your pub also provide massage services? Give me one too!"

Sandy glanced at the man's fleshy face and said expressionlessly: "Sorry, the pub doesn't have this kind of service."

"But I clearly heard it just now."

"You heard wrong!"

Without waiting for the man to respond, Sandy turned and left without looking back.

At this moment, Sunan's room was already empty.
