Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 381: castle

He didn't raise his finger to Sol, but raised one finger to the side, like a scarecrow making directions.

Sol looked in the direction he was pointing. There were buildings and lanes. Of course, there might also be other things in places where his eyesight was not as good as possible. But what does he mean by that? Are you letting yourself go over there? Or let yourself go from there?

For a moment, Sol even had a sense of sight of conflict with someone in the tavern.

A certain alcoholic raised his hand to face you, and then said to you, boy, let's go out and talk.

Sol attaches great importance to the only interaction at the moment, and he thinks that if he ignores it, it is likely to be more troublesome.

The feeling this unknown guy gave to Thor was even stranger than when he first met the dragon mushroom. Moreover, the speed of their fifth-order has not been able to shorten the distance between each other, it is very likely that the other party is stronger than themselves, or the two sides are not comparable at all.

Just like human beings are limited by their own bone structure, some body movements may be imaginable, but they are destined to be impossible. Can you compare flexibility with a slime? Obviously not, each is not one level of species.

In the end, Thor was holding the long sword and slowly approached in the direction the guy was pointing. However, he kept facing each other's posture, making sure that this guy was always in his field of vision to prevent something more dangerous from happening.

After walking a few steps, Sol noticed some changes.

The guy in the field of vision seemed to flicker, then silently changed positions. Assuming that the guy was initially considered to be located exactly north of him, he now moved to the edge of his vision to the northwest.

Sol felt as if he had grasped something vaguely, so he adjusted his direction in time to make sure that the guy was still in front of him. Sure enough, after walking a few steps, the guy flickered again and changed directions.

This makes Sol feel... this guy is using his body to lead the way?

This speculation is actually not much based, more like Saul's temporary intuition.

Sol tried to stop, and the guy on the other side also stopped.

Then Saul hesitated, assuming that he guessed that the other party's judgment is correct. The question now is where is he going to take him? Is it kind or malicious? A means to lure the enemy? What's waiting for yourself ahead?

In the end, Saul stepped forward again, because he had no means to get rid of the opponent, and there was no possibility of backing down.

After following him through the lane for a while, Saul noticed that the guy had stopped at the door of an ordinary building and flashed a few times. Sol couldn't help wondering, this was reminding himself...has it been there?

After a few flashes, the guy unexpectedly disappeared in Thor's field of vision for the first time.

Saul didn't think the guy let him go, he suspected that the guy might have entered the building.

After quickly scanning the surroundings, no extra anomalies were found, and Thor could only approach the building with his sword.

The building is not big, and the house looks like a single-room structure but has two floors. Thor quickly judged it in his heart as he approached.

When he reached the door, Thor was filled with inexplicable nervousness, using the tip of his sword to open the dilapidated wooden door. That guy won't suddenly jump out from behind the door, will he? Thor imagined several possible attacks and improved his defenses.

Standing at the door and glanced inward, there was no strange figure of that guy in the room.

Sure enough, it is a single-room structure, and all the furnishings are very common at a glance. Obviously this is just a civilian family.

No abnormality was found, Sol walked into it carefully, and then stood in the middle of the house to make sure that he stayed away from the wall.

The sudden narrowness and squeeze of the space made Saul very insecure. After all, his dark vision couldn't penetrate the wall, and the wizard's eye potion had forgotten to bring him with him. I don't know if that guy is looking at him at the moment.

After scanning the interior at a glance, there was nothing unusual on the first floor. There was a wooden staircase leading to the second floor leaning against the wall, and then a small wooden door seemed to connect to the backyard. Thor first pushed the small wooden door open on the first floor, and then took a look.

In the courtyard, there is a small square vegetable field with the same width as the house size, and a circle of rough wooden fences is surrounded by hand-made wood fences. Now that the fields have been left unattended for a long time, the weeds are already dense, and the original crops have been flooded.

Sol wasn't sure what he was going to do right now. He returned to the room and glanced outside the door. As expected, the guy was on the edge of his field of vision, and it flickered when Sol looked at it. Saul thinks that this flashing is likely to mean ‘here, it’s here’.

He could only retreat and climb to the second floor that had not yet been explored.

As Thor stepped on, the old wooden steps of the stairs made some overwhelming creaking noises. Fortunately, they had not decayed to the point of breaking, and they stubbornly supported Thor all the way to the second floor.

Like a vigilant mouse, Thor quickly glanced towards the second floor and retracted. Silent, there was no ambush or abnormality for the time being, Sol only then walked the last few steps and stood on the second floor floor.

The furnishings on the second floor are still ordinary, with wooden wardrobes and small round tables, and on the dusty small round tables, there is an oil lamp that hasn't been lit for a long time. If there is something different on the second floor, it may be a corpse by the bed.

Sol used the blade to open the closet. There was nothing special in it except for some moldy and hairy clothes.

When he came to the window and opened it, Saul flashed again as a reminder when he saw the guy below.

Sol thought it was amazing.

Because the guy still stayed precisely at the edge of his field of vision, the key was that when he was at the second floor window and the first floor door, the distance between himself and that guy was definitely different. In order for that guy to see him, he would still be considered a gap.

Well, it seems that the puzzle is just like that, and Thor instinctively thinks that the corpse by the bed is probably the answer.

Judging from the clothes and long withered hair that have not been completely decayed, the corpse is obviously a female.

She was half kneeling on the ground, her upper body lying on the bed, her hands hanging on her legs, her cheeks facing one side.

This looks... it seems a bit like poisoning?

It seemed very painful before death. Saul couldn't help but imagine a scene where she was kneeling on the ground, holding her belly with her hands, and resting her head against the edge of the bed, curling up to relieve some kind of physical pain. Until the resistance was ineffective, life died, and finally his hands fell on the side of his legs.

It doesn't matter whether this speculation is correct, the key is that the guy downstairs took pains to draw himself here. Why?

If the woman did not die, maybe she was asked to help her, but she had obviously been dead for a long time.

Maybe this woman is his mother? sister? Or a woman? Sol didn't know.

After all, the guy downstairs was vague, and he couldn't see his age or appearance. He didn't even know whether it was ‘he’ or ‘she’.

After a moment of silence, Thor suddenly smiled, that guy wouldn't realize that he was once a grave guard, would he? He suspected that the guy downstairs wanted to help bury this woman because he himself seemed unable to complete this action.

It doesn't matter if you think of it or not, it doesn't matter whether it is the answer, it is just a handy little thing.

Solmon got a towel and found some moldy rags. Wrapped in a cloth handle, and then chased away the bugs on the corpse, packed the rusty corpse and moved it downstairs. As for the cemetery, it's the vegetable plot on the first floor, which can be considered a peaceful sleep in the backyard of the house.

Soon Saul felt that he had scored for this puzzle, because whether he was digging a hole or tying a cross, the guy was watching him not far and close, and he didn't know whether he was mourning or remembering. Every time Sol looked over, he flickered.

"Do you want to tell you... well, do you leave something to your loved ones?" Sol asked casually before entering the soil.

The guy no longer flickered, but was silent.

Sol can think about it, otherwise it might not be easy to find a tombstone in this small town.

The tomb was slapped down, and the cross in front of the tomb was erected. Thor clapped his hands and stood up, turning his head to look at the guy.

Then Saul saw that the guy was still blurred, but he seemed to bend down and bow, and then kept the bowing posture like this, and gradually faded and faded into Saul's field of vision.

With his disappearance, Saul felt that the sense of peeping around him disappeared instantly, and it was obvious that ‘he’ had already left.

Saul couldn't help but wonder.

If the sense of peeping in the town comes from this guy, what about those in the wilderness before?

Want to dig pits everywhere to help them bury people? Sol didn't know.

"Prick, thorn~" The sound of Thor walking through the wilderness outside the unnamed town once again sounded, which he thought was very strange. Because the moment he left the town, peeping from the dark once again surrounded himself, but it seemed that there was no sense of familiarity.

In the small town just now, if we put aside the weird part, Sol actually enjoyed the silent interaction.

That guy would rather be alone in the wild wandering, but also let his love into the ground.

Thor has always respected any feeling that can travel through time and life and death.

Just continue walking in one direction, and stopped halfway to add some water. I don't know how long I have been walking.

Then as he walked, a signpost suddenly appeared in front of him.

Saul happily stepped forward, but soon his expression became a little playful again.

"Please go left." Although the text is familiar to you, it says on the signpost.

This is obviously very strange.

Ordinary signposts will only tell you which town you are leading to in a certain direction, but will not directly let you go in an unknown direction.

At first glance, this fork in the road seems to have three roads from the left, the center and the right, but why should it go to the left? What's on the left?

Saul went to the right, for no specific reason, perhaps due to his character.

Then... there was another sign in front of me.

"Please go left." The sign is still insisting.

Saul didn't believe it, so he changed his direction and walked sideways.

When the signpost appeared in the front vision again, there was no need to look at it. Sol knew that he might have been targeted by something again, but he didn't know if ‘he’ would flicker.

According to the signpost, Thor finally stood in front of an iron gate of the manor. There is no way, just relying on the other party's trick of **** street signs. Sol suspects that if he does not follow the instructions, he may not have any chance to walk around in the future.

The farthest field of vision can barely see a small part of the bottom of the building. The masonry structure reminds Sol somehow of the castle building.

"Squeak~" There was no wind, and the rusty arrow-topped iron door in front of him opened like a welcome guest.

Just when Sol was about to step in.

"Be careful, you are walking into its rules." A voice suddenly sounded beside Sol.
