Tulip Bar was the most famous bar in the common district.
One could drink the cheapest and most affordable wine in Rono City. Tulip Bar also had the most beautiful girls.
However, the opening time of this bar was different. The opening time was from 9 am to 6 am the next morning. There were three hours of rest and adjustment in between.
With doubt in their minds, Locke and Clifford arrived at the small bar at nine o’clock. The bar was located in the slums. The exterior looked very old and shabby. However, upon entering the bar, one would realize that the space inside was very wide. The decor was also unique. Black stones were used for the flooring, and the walls were all painted in the same style.
They did not know when the informant would turn up, so they went to the bar first.
The bartender was a male shadow elf. When he saw the two guests, he immediately took out the menu.
Clifford seemed to have been here before. Without even looking at the wine list, he asked for two glasses of exquisite tequila.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll prepare it for you!”
There were not many customers this morning. The two sat there and drank about four to five glasses, but no one else turned up.
It wasn’t until noon that the surrounding seats were filled with people.
Suddenly, a man in a black cloak walked over and handed a black envelope to Locke. After Locke received it, the man turned around and left quickly.
Seeing the informant leave, Locke could only helplessly wave his hands and stored the letter in the badge space.
Clifford put down a silver coin on the table, and the two immediately left the Tulip Bar.
Only when they found an uninhabited area did Locke open the letter in his hand.
“There are victims in several villages at the foot of the mountain to the southwest of Rono. Most of the men in these villages have disappeared, and the bodies of the missing men have all turned into dried corpses. It’s very likely the work of a hundred-year-old demoness. There’s no way to know the details because all the witnesses are dead.”
After reading it, Locke immediately burnt the letter in his hands to ashes.
Clifford was dumbfounded. “What are you doing?”
“Eh! Isn’t this a secret mission?”
Clifford rolled his eyes at Locke. “This isn’t a secret mission about the kingdom, so there are no secrets to keep!”
“…”
Locke could only spread his hands speechlessly.
The two of them had been resting for five hours since they arrived at the tavern in the morning. Therefore, they did not stop and immediately rode toward the mountains in the southwest direction.
Eliza, who was hanging behind Locke, had already fallen asleep. Even though she was already asleep, she still maintained hanging a strange position behind Locke.
Locke hadn’t slept in a long time, and he asked as he yawned, “Mentor Clifford, aren’t you tired?”
Clifford immediately raised his hand and displayed his secret anti-sleepiness technique in front of Locke. “Do you see this? This is a special energy drink that can help me resist sleepiness after drinking it!”
Locke could not help but ridicule, “Well, you can’t deny that you’re old now!”
Clifford said disdainfully, “Pft! When I was young, I didn’t sleep for days and nights…”
Along the way, Clifford continued telling stories about his youth. That was how Locke managed to make it to the village in the evening, awake.
The sun had not set yet, but the two of them could sense that something was wrong with the village. The entire village was filled with the aura of death. A wave of resentment rose into the sky,
Locke and Clifford immediately dismounted and observed every movement of the villagers from afar.
“We’re too late! Everyone in the village has turned into walking corpses!”
The two of them were not the only ones who felt the soaring resentment. Even the sleepy Eliza woke up. It said in its baby dragon voice, “There’s a hundred-year-old girl here, hidden in some place underground of this village! I sense a lot of delicious food around her. I’m starving!”
As it spoke, it flew past Locke!
Seeing this, Locke raised his hand to stop it, but it was too late. This towering resentment had already enveloped them. Clifford remained calm as he swiftly casted a perception spell.
Seeing his mentor do so, Locke followed behind him and casted his perception spell as well.
Very soon, a gust of demonic wind blew past, and there was a creepy rustling sound! Countless skeletons crawled out from the ground and surrounded them from all directions.
Locke immediately took out the black staff which was tied around his waist and immediately poured magic into it, turning it into a spear.
Facing the oncoming skeleton soldiers, he launched an attack.
As Locke continued to attack, the surrounding area was instantly filled with flashes of lightning. In less than ten minutes, all the skeleton soldiers collapsed to the ground. It was not that they did not want to get up, but because Locke’s weapon’s lightning attribute was extremely effective against them, causing them to be unable to reassemble.
Seeing that all these corpse attacks had no effect on the two of them, the demoness immediately crawled out from under Locke’s feet, preparing to catch him off guard.
Locke reacted immediately and turned his staff toward the ground and stabbed with the strength from both hands.
A sharp howl pierced through the ground, and the ground around them cracked open.
Locke immediately jumped up and cast a light body spell on his body, allowing his body to hover in the air for a few minutes.
The demoness, who had been provoked, immediately crawled out from the ground and roared at Locke. This roaring was not a big deal, but the putrid smell from her mouth almost made Locke vomit his last meal.
Clifford saw this and casted a control spell on Locke, allowing him to dodge the demoness’ attack. Then, he used Lightning Duet to attack the demon on the ground.
Lightning attribute spells were very effective against the undead. The Lightning Duet attack exploded the moment it hit the demoness. Dust flew everywhere, and the resentment aura around them seemed to have decreased greatly. However, it wasn’t enough to kill this hundred-year-old demoness.
At this moment, Locke had regained full control of his senses. After wiping his mouth with the cloth on his chest, he angrily pulled out his magic gun and aimed it at the demoness.
“You can’t even manage your basic hygiene, you’re really disgusting!”
These words triggered Clifford, and he wanted to tell Locke off, but now was not the time.
While Locke was stalling, he started to chant the large-scale spell, Thunderstorm!
Feeling the condensation of the huge spell, Locke filled 50% of his magic into the spear. The lightning on the spear’s head became even more violent, leaving the demoness with no time to care about the likes of Clifford..
