Aureas put the jar on the flat ground, put the torch into the jar, and the dry sticks in the jar immediately ignited. There was only a loud noise like thunder, and the jar was exploded, and a ball a foot high was born on the flat ground. deep purple flame.Oreas took the bone of the Son of God and threw it into the flames.

But after a while, there was no movement around.

Abner asked, "And then?"

"Wait slowly, the nearby undead will be attracted by the fire."

"How much can that come?"

"About a hundred."

Abner was surprised, "How many undead are there?"

Oreas looked at the fire light quietly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid there are about the same number as the living here."

Abner's back was cold, "Is it here?!"

Orreas nodded.

"Where are so many undead? I can see them, but I haven't seen a few."

"Many are still asleep, like the one under your feet."

Abner screamed, jumped aside, and watched the head of an undead emerge from under his feet, then floated towards the flames, and disappeared as soon as it touched the fire.

"Is this...the one already put away?" Abner asked.

Orreas nodded.

"There are actually very few undead that are really active?" Abner asked.

"Yes, the awakened undead will be obsessed with the cause of their own death, and find weak-conscious people to possess, and use these people's bodies to harm others in the same way. And these undead will not awaken at the same time, attach to the human body It won't happen immediately after the body. It's one after another, one place after another, and I have time to take it back one by one."

Abner pondered for a while, then said, "It seems to be leading us to do it."

Oreas said slowly: "I thought so too, but there is no special connection between these undead, between the possessed people, and between regions, but appearing in a unique rhythm. , this rhythm will not let the situation get out of control, and it can also cause people to panic."

Abner scratched his head, "It really makes my scalp tingle."

After a while, two undead emerged from the ground and floated towards the flames.

Oreas frowned and said, "We'll have to wait a long time, let's go first."

Abner glanced back at the flame, and asked, "Are you sure it's the right thing to do? Since you think it's quite strange."

"Even if it's wrong, do it first," Oreas said in a deep voice, "We can only survive if we have enough souls."

"Undead... are they different from souls?"

"No, only the living have a soul. The soul that comes out of the mother's body is the purest. Afterwards, the soul will slowly be contaminated with people's love and hate. When a person dies, the soul will become an undead."

"The undead can still become a soul?"

"It's hard to say just based on the undead. We also need the body of the undead. And those bodies..." Aureas raised his head and looked at the dark night sky. Two or three bright spots appeared in the night sky, "I don't know if they still exist. "

Abner looked at those bright spots following Oreas' gaze, and was taken aback for a moment, remembering the vision he saw that night, and asked softly, "Are those undead attracted?"

"Ah."

Oreas stared at the attracted undead seriously, frowning slightly, his strong back stood upright, and his meticulously tied hair set off his rigid and handsome side face.Abner could feel that Oreas was meditating, but Abner had no way of knowing what he was meditating on.

Abner stood behind Oreas, looking at his broad shoulders.Perhaps for Oreas, taking back these undead is his most important thing, and then he always finds a way to return to his world.No matter who he has met or what he has experienced here, he will eventually seal up these memories like treating the dead.That world needs these undead to support, and there are people in that world who are waiting for Orreas to come home.

Abner slowly approached Oreas, stretched out his hand to his back, paused in the air again, and withdrew his hand.Finally he sighed softly, and bumped his head into Oreas' back.

Oreas was taken aback, and was about to turn around, but was pushed back by Abner, he turned his head sideways, and saw Abner lowered his head, with his whole face buried on his back.He turned his back, patted Abner's waist, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Abner pressed his head against Oreas' back, shook his head, and said slowly, "Let me keep my back from the wind, I'm cold."

Oreas raised his arm, held Abner's cold hand behind his back, and frowned, "Why are your hands so cold, sit back and warm yourself by the fire."

Abner didn't speak, but continued to shake his head.

Oreas felt that something was wrong with Abner, but he couldn't see Abner's expression, so he had to touch Abner's exposed cheek with his backhand, it was hot, and Aureas became nervous, and was about to try his forehead again temperature, but was roughly pulled away by Abner, Oreas sighed, and said, "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable, don't make trouble with me."

Abner grabbed Oreas' hand, and Oreas's hand was warm with a slightly rough palm. He held this big hand with both hands, and then slowly sent it to his heart.

"It's stuffy here."

Through the shirt, Oreas felt Abner's heartbeat.

Pound thump, thump thump, thousands of small deer come across the stream.

Pound, thump, thousands of chestnuts fall along the mountain.

Abner was still on Oreas' back, refusing to raise his head.

Oreas pulled Abner's arm, bent down, and lifted him into the air.Abner let out a cry of surprise, buried his face in Aureas's chest, his body bumped as Aureas moved.He turned his head slowly, and caught a glimpse of Aureas' serious face from the bottom up, with his brows furrowed and his pale lips tightly pursed.

Abner's heart trembled, lords, is he angry?

Aureas quickly sent Abner to the fire, and Wins and Keener had returned from hunting with a lot of results, and were brushing oil on a fat rabbit.Seeing Aureas coming over with Abner in his arms, Aureas's long hair was tied up, and he could tell it was Abner's work at a glance, Wen Si twitched the corner of his mouth and moved to the side to make room.

"Let me down!" Abner struggled to get down. Everyone's faces were red and hot in front of the fire. Abner let out a long sigh of relief, moved over a stone, and sat down.

Oreas poked the fire in front of Abner, then took off his coat and put it on Abner.Abner quickly pushed his coat away and said, "I'm not cold, really."

"What's the matter, Abner?" At this moment, Sean was walking towards here, and the tent was already set up at Herbert's place, and the three of them were walking here. Sean saw Abner shrinking in front of the fire from a distance, Look listless.

Sean sat next to Abner, turned his head and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Abner patted Sean on the shoulder and smiled: "No."

Surprise flashed across Sean's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I thought you wouldn't come here again."

Abner raised his head and looked at the dense forest opposite, it was the hunting ground of the nobles. When the king invited the nobles from other countries to come to the spring hunting three years ago, he thought he could survive, but in the end he left halfway and lay down on the bed. I had a low-grade fever for several days, and fell into that terrible dream all the time, and fell into a coma.But now facing this forest, he didn't feel anything special.The blood stasis in the bottom of my heart is slowly melting away.

As soon as Wins looked up, he caught a glimpse of Abner staring at the hunting ground behind him in a daze. Aureas was sitting on his left hand, and Sean was sitting on his right. Sean glanced at Aureas coldly, Oreya Yas raised his head and looked faintly at the dark night sky.

"Hiss—" Wen Si's hand trembled, and a drop of hot oil dripped onto his arm.

Wen Si quickly wiped off the oil, and shouted to several people opposite: "Come and help! Don't try to wait for it to happen!"

Abner's eyes suddenly brightened, and he muttered "clumsy" to Wins, then stood up and walked to Wins, and turned the rabbit meat on the fire for him.The rest helped to adjust the sauce and melt the meat with a knife...

Abner turned the rabbit over again and sprinkled some herbs on it, and Keener handed Wins a chilled bottle of raccoon.

"Thank you." Wens pressed the cold bottle body to the burnt place, and caught a glimpse of Abner's frown slightly, with a strange look on his face.

"Are you unwell?" Vince asked.

Abner waved his hand, "No, no, come and help when you are well!"

Wen Si shut his mouth at him, and took the shelf in Abner's hand, "When the time comes, you will eat the most and stop shouting."

Soon, the field was filled with the aroma of barbecue, and Abner poured wine for everyone, raised their glasses and said, "For the great cause of harvesting souls!"

Sean toasted Wen Si, "Knight Commander, the safety of Silver Bow City is entrusted to you."

Wen Si hurriedly responded, "Your Highness, you are serious."

Abner: "..."

He forked two pieces of meat, and stuffed them into their mouths, "Shut up your nice words, sit down and eat meat!"

Abner quickly turned the knife in his hand, the tip of the knife glowed under the firelight, then he held the handle of the knife firmly, and quickly cut off pieces of meat from a whole roasted rabbit, his hands were so fast Can't see how the knife works.Soon, there was a whole plate of crispy meat slices on the big plate.

Sean stared at the plate of meat and said, "Abner, I didn't know you had this ability..."

Abner smiled triumphantly, took the towel, wiped his hands and the knife, and said, "It's nothing."

Xiao En raised his eyebrows and said: "If you can put this effort into fencing, you won't have to worry about having no opponent."

"Shut up, you!" Abner sat down with a plate in one hand and a knife in the other.I have no appetite, I shouldn't, he hesitated.

"Why don't you eat it?" Sean chewed the rabbit meat and asked the hesitant Abner.

Abner smiled, took a sip of the raccoon dog, and said, "Drink something to fill your stomach first."

After drinking, he still has no appetite.The people around, except for Oreas who was drinking, were all eating rabbit meat with satisfaction, their eyebrows and eyes were curved, and they were in a good mood.Abner took a deep breath, he thought he shouldn't let them down, after all he organized them to come.

He forked a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly. For some reason, he could only taste the aroma of the seasoning, but he couldn't taste the meat at all. The rabbit meat was like water and had no taste at all.He frowned slightly, took another sip of wine, and swallowed the rabbit meat abruptly.

"Ahem." He drank too much and coughed lightly, and Oreas patted him on the back.

"Why eat so fast, and no one will grab it from you." Sean said as he forked a large piece of rabbit meat and put it on his plate.

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched, and he went to the fire and set another rabbit on fire, "I'll roast another one."

Wen Si smiled, "My lords, Master Abner is really hardworking today."

"Yes, yes, just be proud of yourself today." Abner turned the rabbit and brushed it with oil.

Suddenly Abner faintly smelled a special smell, and he frowned, not sure what it was, like the smell of rain, like a moldy paper bag, or even like dust.He turned around, only to see faint bright spots in the night sky behind him, exactly the same as what he saw that night.
