Chapter 194: The Shadow of the Tree (1)(2/2)

, he rose from a small soldier to the position of legion commander in seventeen years, and finally retired due to war injuries. Our King gave him the position of Lord of Silent Hill. He fell in love with the sharpshooter in his company and eventually got married.

Even the Lin Jing Queen and the High Jing Emperor gave their blessings to the wedding. Lady Anna also said that as long as one of his children has a child with the talent of plasticity, she will accept this child as her apprentice. This is a comparison.

Ordinary gifts are as important as promises.”

Marin nodded - indeed, no matter how good the blessings and gifts are, nothing can compare to the fact that one's own descendants can become the apprentice of a legendary battle mage. This almost represents the goodwill of a legend to your family. Now that things have reached this point, what will happen next?

This is the stage where the lord and his wife can compete with each other.

After hearing the news, Marin was relieved that Lord Sel Kate could clear away the suspicion in his mind, but he also once again expressed regret for his luck.

After flipping through two pages, they were all filled with trivial matters. Marin even noticed a headline on the sixth page - A chicken crows in the middle of the night on Quining Street and Mr. Oldham was beaten three times. Is all this a lack of humanity or conscience?

Lost.

May this author be in the neighborhoods hardest hit by the epidemic.

The seventh page was only one page away from the advertisement on the eighth page. Marin opened it with his last hope. The first thing he saw was a bold title - Quining Street Street Renovation. The second page was found on site.

Archaeologist Professor Odum Sherrington said that this is the greatest archaeological discovery in the entire western human world.

The Second Era? That is the era after the First Era. Marin was a little curious, because he knew that most of the evil gods did not appear until the end of the Second Era and the Third Era. Before that, there were no evil gods and chaos in this world.

's: "I saw a message saying that an ancient tomb was found in this city."

"I also saw this place. It's very interesting. It's an ancient tomb from the Second Age. Even Chaos and Evil Gods didn't appear in that era. Maybe there will be some very weird treasures inside. For example, I saw a book

In the novel, the protagonist obtained an ancient musket that could fire continuously from an ancient tomb, and used it to join the army and fight all the way to the top." Instructor Merkel said with a smile, as if he was nostalgic for his lost youth.

Teacher Emmet Selke sneered: "That author doesn't understand science at all. Even if ancient muskets can still be used if they are properly maintained, they were from at least several thousand years ago. Our revolvers can even be used in three

The rifling was polished after hundreds of rounds of bullets. This gun has been used for ten years, and I'm afraid even the barrel is gone."

"Hey, Teacher Quasser, can you stop looking for reality in the world of illusory novels? That novel is just a novel that is enjoyable to read, just for killing time."

"It's too cheap to pass the time like this, Mentor Merkel, we should do something more interesting, such as finding a map of Silent Hill, discovering where Quinine Street is, and then we can go take a look at the ancient tomb.

, I instinctively felt that this bug was probably in there."

"Why do you think so?" Instructor Merkle asked curiously.

Marin thought about it and decided to take a guess: "Teacher Emmet Selk, do you think that people in the later era sealed this evil in the tombs of the second era, and now the workers of Silent Hill are repairing it?"

It was excavated on the way, and archaeologist Professor Oldham Sherrington broke the seal during the rescue excavation."

"You are such a detective, my God, why didn't I think of it this way?" Old Merkel looked excited and suddenly realized: "It must be like this, this is an insect evil god, and the long-term seal makes it very special.

So weak that it could only use insect infection to control the city. In this way, it also explains why the young man did not mutate at the beginning, because it takes time for the insect to possess the body and control the human body. If it were not for him

After discovering the problem, the bug will not forcibly deprive him of control over his body. In other words, as long as his will is high enough or he has extraordinary abilities, the bug will not be of much use because it is too weak and cannot

Possessed in the body of an extraordinary being.”

"That should be the case." Marin nodded: "Our train came to this city, and many people on the train had fever... Oh, damn, there are three children in my carriage." Marin added this

As soon as the incident was mentioned, the three of them immediately ran into the carriage, only to find that the three children showed no signs of fever. Finally, Marin controlled them and asked several senior apprentices to keep an eye on them.

"Why are they not possessed and infected... I think maybe it is still in the incubation period. The tomb was dug out a month ago, and the young man said it started four days ago."

Merkel, who sat at the table, wrote on the paper.

Marin sat opposite him: "It may not have been four days ago. The young man said that our two trains were the only ones that stopped in the past two days. In other words, it is very likely that the insect evil god has something similar to the space.

Mystery's ability, the time they are in may be different from what we think, and the reason why this evil god chose us is because there are many children on the train, which are very suitable for it to be its food."

"If that's the case, why haven't the bugs come to attack us yet?" Instructor Emmet Selk sat by the window, looking at the city in the distance: "This seems to be a sleeping city."

"……what time is it now?"

Marin suddenly thought of a problem. He was in a hurry to find his pocket watch, but found that he had forgotten to wear it. Fortunately, Teacher Merkel took out his pocket watch: "10:12, morning."

"These bugs didn't make any sound when we arrived at the station gate, until we opened the door and woke them up. They are afraid of flames and loud noises, which means... they are nocturnal creatures! They don't do it during the day.

Take action! There may be survivors in the city! We must race against time! Two of you!" After saying that, Marin looked at the two mentors.

"...I know where the temple area of ​​this city is, and I will take you there." After speaking, Mentor Merkel stood up and said, "Mr. Quasser, Marin's analysis makes sense. We must act immediately now."

"Of course, Mentor Merkle, let's act together and finish everything before dark, because we can't survive until the next day when the goddess of dawn tears open the veil of the goddess of night with light." Mentor Emmet Selke

Nodding, the two of them called the instructors of both teams, arranged for them to protect the children, and then started to get fully equipped.

As usual, Marin chose to replace the shotgun barrel in his hand with a short barrel (long barrels are too inconvenient for indoor combat), released Gorohow and Feo as the forward automatic combat weapons, and at the same time added another

A twig of the World Tree turns into a chest plate - this is the part that needs protection the most.

I borrowed an earth dragon leather jacket from the senior class and put it on, put an alloy helmet on my head, tied a bullet bag around my waist, stuffed twenty-four bullets into it, and hung the shotgun on the left side of my waist.

In the meantime, he took a full-metal pulley crossbow and hung the twelve armor-piercing arrow pouches on the other side of his waist.

"I've finished the sketch." Old Merkel said as he called Marin and the two over.

Standing in front of the sketch he drew, Marin noticed that this was a route entering from the south gate, and Mentor Merkel began to introduce, "We enter from the south gate and go north. If the road is safe, we will go from the avenue."

In the past, we went directly to the Temple District, but here we have to pass through Quinine Street. This Quinine Street is a road that slopes from northwest to southeast. The road we want to take is to pass under its elevated layer. Marin, you just mentioned them

They are nocturnal creatures, and I'm afraid they will form a nest down there."

"Then is there any other way?"

"Another way is to walk along the city wall, but there are also backlit places on the city wall, and there are more places, so I have another route, that is, if the bottom of the empty shelf is blocked by insects, then we can use this trail to bypass it.

Crossing Quinine Street, the path is not long, only two hundred meters. If there are suitable spells, maybe we can pass safely." Merkel said here and looked at Marin and Emmett Selke: "In action

Beforehand, it would be best if we could confirm the behavioral patterns of these infected buggers during the day."

"They have chased us before, but after a bunch of them were beaten to death by our apprentices in front of the train, they ran away. I don't think this should be their own initiative. There should be bugs of a higher level than them controlling them.

They." Instructor Emmet Selke said.

"Teacher Merkel, what you want to know is how they react to us entering their range when we don't alert them, right?" Marin looked at the old man and asked.

Instructor Merkle nodded vigorously: "Yes, if their reaction is inert, it will be very beneficial to us. If they attack after seeing us, we will have a lot of trouble to deal with.

"

"At least we won't face them face to face in the bright sun... let's go." Instructor Emmet Selk stood up, Instructor Merkel stretched out his hand to roll up the hand-drawn map, and Marin followed them to the car door.

"Marin." The voice from behind made Marin stop. He turned around and looked at Faye, who was wearing a coat. The girl's face was red. It must be that the infection gave her a fever: "Promise me, I will definitely

Want to come back."

Marin nodded and walked up to her. Marin stretched out his hand and kissed her forehead: "Don't worry, we can end this before nightfall, I swear."

"I believe you, go ahead, we'll wait for you to come back." After Faye finished speaking, she smiled and let go of her hand holding Marin's wrist.

Marin turned around, walked to the car door and jumped out.

Instructor Merkel stood not far away and looked at him and smiled: "It's great to be young, Mr. Marin. The way you are so affectionate reminds me of when I was young."

"Everyone has a young age, Mentor Merkel." Marin walked past him with a smile: "Maybe one day, I will stand where you are and make the same statement to a young man.

exclamation."

"Time is like a knife, and it never spares anyone, my Thai mother-in-law always said that." Perhaps because he felt that Marin could not speak Thai, the old man repeated it in common language.

Marin smiled and repeated it in Thai, then looked at the confused old man and waved with a smile: "Let's go, Teacher Merkel." At this point, Marin paused, and then said in Thai
