Lord Highlander

   Chapter 1260 1247. Visit Atherton

  Earl Fornak was sitting on the sofa in the room, and he heard Suldak say:

"A few days ago, there was an incident. In the abandoned mine area of ​​Ruyt City, the guard battalion received a case of missing persons. The guard battalion knights sent to investigate did not find any. Later, I asked Afro Di went to investigate and met in the mine, of course we later found out that this necromancer was not the mastermind of this incident, but this necromancer is a very strong person."

  Earl Fornac asked curiously: "Oh? I want to know how strong she is."

  Suldak said while sorting out the list: "Her body is constantly turning into corpses, but she is still alive and strong."

Hearing what Suldak said, Earl Funak was a little surprised, because he knew how painful it is to be a corpse. The desperation and distortion of the are the most deadly, and it is easy to get lost.

  Earl Funak sighed: "A necromancer who is constantly turning into a corpse? This is really rare. Having said that, becoming a necromancer itself involves some forbidden spells. So...?"

  Suldak raised his head and smiled, put a coin into his mouth, and then said: "I think... Maybe you can share some experience with her in this regard."

Furnak put his hands on the sofa, raised his head and said casually to Suldak: "I'm not as free as you think, but it's really boring to face those skeletons all day long. Next time When you see her again, you can call me out, let's sit down and talk together, maybe what I know will inspire her, even a little bit is good."

   Seeing that Earl Fornac did not rule out meeting strangers, he said:

   "Okay, that's a deal, but I don't know when I'll see her again."

  Suldak sorted out the list left by Earl Funak, and Earl Funak also opened the **** gate to the underworld again before dawn...

At the same time, the two saw countless skeletal hands protruding from the **** gate. Earl Funak turned around and waved at Suldak before walking in with ease. His body penetrated like water, and then disappeared. gone.

  The Bloody Door, which was covered in blood, was closed again, and there were not even any traces left on the walls of the hotel.

  The list was placed on the table, and Suldak saw the name at the top of the first row on the list, and then he took out a quill and drew a horizontal line under the first name.

  ‘Mike Atherton’

  Suldak remembered that there seemed to be a nobleman surnamed Atherton in the Hailansa guard camp, but he did not expect that this nobleman had some relationship with Earl Fornak.

  …

  Atherton Manor.

  Mike Atherton is getting old...

  He was so old that he needed to sit in a wheelchair and was pushed out of the room by the maid every day to bask in the sun under an olive tree in the back garden.

  This huge olive tree carries almost all his childhood memories.

  Now that he is old, he has almost forgotten many things, only those things from his childhood can be recalled.

  Under the sun, on the green grass full of flowers, a boy is running heartily.

His squinted and cloudy eyes became a little blurred at this moment. He hoped that he could be summoned by the Statue of Liberty as soon as possible and fall into the embrace of God, instead of enduring the torment of this disease every day. He had had enough of this. life.

  The maid gave Mike Atherton some water regularly, and asked him in a low voice if he planned to retreat to the shade of the tree.

   Earl Mike Atherton shook his head feebly, and the two maids could only take a step back helplessly, hiding themselves under the shade of the tree.

  A well-dressed old butler came out of the manor. He walked slowly to Earl Mike Atherton and reported to him by ear:

   "Sir, there is a guest outside who wants to visit you."

  Mike Atherton looked at the butler in a daze. He hadn't seen a guest for at least two years...

  The old butler knew the question in his eyes, and quickly replied: "He has the token of Earl Fornac's life in his hand."

   It seemed that the word 'Funak' made old Mike sober, and he actually nodded.

Although unable to speak, Mike Atherton was very conscious at this time. He even remembered some of the time when he traveled to the imperial capital with Earl Fornak, and they were even in the imperial capital with other provinces. The young nobles had a fight, and later offended some royal families that they couldn't afford to offend. If Earl Fornak hadn't met the nobleman at that time, so that everyone could get the help of that nobleman, maybe everyone would have died there...

  He felt a little dizzy in his mind. Every time he thought about the past, the drowsiness in his mind was like a raging tide, rushing out in waves.

  He wanted to shake his head to wake up, but unfortunately he couldn't.

  The butler withdrew and brought Suldak into the back garden after a while.

Suldak felt that the nobles living in the city seemed to like to decorate the manor very luxuriously, and the same was true for this Atherton Manor. The manor was very lively. When passing through the hall, Suldak even saw A group of young people gathered around an organ and listened to a beautiful girl playing there.

  The female relatives in the manor looked at Surdak curiously. They didn't receive any notice of guests coming to their house today.

  At this moment, seeing the butler walking towards the back garden with a burly constructed knight, everyone was very curious, and some even followed secretly from behind.

Suldak went all the way to the back garden, where it seemed much quieter, almost no one was in the back garden, and then he saw an elderly man sitting on a wheelchair under an olive tree in the garden, looking like It seems that it is very strenuous to take a breath, and it should be the kind of person who has already stepped into the coffin.

  Seeing Suldak walk across the lawn and walk up to the old man.

  The old man waved weakly at Suldak.

  Suldak walked over, sat on the chair next to him, and asked, "Are you Earl Mike Atherton?"

  The old man nodded, his lips trembling, but he couldn't speak.

Suldak didn't expect the old man to be like this. Although he was a little helpless, he could only accept the fact. He checked the old man's condition slightly. Basically, the functions of all parts of his body had degenerated, so even if he used holy The light technique can only temporarily relieve his condition.

  Suldak stretched out his hand, and pressed a ray of holy light into the old man's forehead.

Earl Mike Atherton immediately felt the power filling his body, and his rusty limbs began to feel and respond. The butler also stared at Surdak in surprise, and then looked at Mike Atherton, who is trying to raise his arm.

   "Master, you can move your hands..." the butler shouted in surprise.

  Mike Atherton also noticed a change in himself, and he felt that his mind became very clear at this moment.

   "Young man, who are you and where are you from!" Mike Atherton asked in a hoarse voice.

  He hadn't spoken for a long time, so his voice was a bit dry when he spoke. At this time, the maid quickly brought a water glass and gave Mike Atherton a sip.

  Suldak replied: "I am Suldak, the consul of Ruyt City. I came to visit you this time, and I also brought you this!"

As he spoke, he took out a magic dagger inlaid with three gemstones of red, green and blue from his magic pocket. The magic dagger was very old, and even some of the inlaid gold patterns had peeled off, and the three gemstones It also seemed to be dim. When Earl Fornak handed him the dagger, Suldak was thinking for a while, how did a ghost bring this dagger with him?

  The old man didn't even hold it in his hand to identify it carefully, so he asked a little excitedly: "When did you meet Fornak?"

"A long time ago, I did a little favor to the Earl of Funak, so he gave me this dagger, and said that if I encounter trouble in High Lansa City in the future, I will take this dagger to Atherton The family is visiting Earl Mike Atherton!" Suldak said.

  It seems that the holy light gave Earl Mike Atherton a second life, and he can even move his hands at this time.

   "What trouble did you encounter? Do you need me to help you?" Mike Atherton asked Suldak.

  Suldak immediately said: "My friend Daxi Christie encountered some difficulties in the city of Hailansa. She needs the support of some local nobles, so I take the liberty of calling you in the morning!"

  Mike Atherton's eyes fell on the badge on Suldak's chest, and he asked suspiciously:

   "Dacy Christie? What is her relationship with Marquis Bernard?"

  Suldak replied: "She is the daughter of Marquis Bernard, who inherited the title of Bernard Christie, and is currently the consul of Hailansa City!"

   Mike Atherton frowned again. He also knew nothing about the current situation in Hailansa. He didn't understand how the Christie family fell into this situation...

   "Go and call David, I need to know about the situation in Hailansa City." Mike Atherton told the butler.

   "Yes, sir!" The butler responded, and immediately sent an attendant behind him out.

At this time, Mike Atherton said with some emotion: "I'm old, and I rarely hear outside news recently, and I don't know anything about outside things, so you can talk about what happened in Hailansa City recently. What's the matter?"

  Actually, Suldak doesn’t know much about the recent situation in Hailansa City, so he can only casually say something he knows well.

  When Mike Atherton heard that there was something wrong with the succession of the Christie family, he couldn't help but sighed and said, "I need to understand the current situation in Hailansa City before I can answer you."

   "Okay, then I'll take my leave first..."

  Suldak heard that old Mike Atherton failed to give an answer in person, so he could only bid farewell.
