Gallo didn't know what happened in the kingdom of the dead. He cleaned up the traces of the scene, took the fragments of the lich's phylactery, and left Yorktown in a hurry.
All the townspeople here were killed by the Lich, and the whole town was empty, silently accusing the Lich of its crimes.
When Gallo returned to the camp, he found that the mercenaries had been tied up and stuffed into a big pit, and the golem Amiya was guarding the edge of the pit, imitating Gallo's usual movements , a pair of big hands kept scratching his head, as if he was worried about what problem
Then I saw it start filling the pit with soil, intending to bury the mercenaries in the pit.
However, the mercenaries were still sleeping soundly, snoring non-stop.
Gallo remembered that his order before he left was: let him keep an eye on these mercenaries, don't let them run around, and don't be taken away by wolves. He never thought that Amiya would use this method to carry out his orders.
He quickly walked over to stop the atrocities, carried the mercenaries out, and untied the hemp ropes for them.
"Hey, why are you so stupid? You'll be by my side tomorrow, why haven't I learned anything about my ingenuity and strategizing?"
"If this continues, the little milk cat will be smarter than you!"
Gallo reprimanded angrily.
Amiya squatted down with her back to him, stretched out a thick finger, and drew circles on the ground, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, don't be wronged, come and help clean up, and fill this hole."
"After you get home, I'll teach you how to weave electric mice and garlic bastards with straw. This little milk cat can't learn it, but you can still be smarter than them."
Gallo followed up with a few words of comfort.
Only then did Amiya stand up again, and together with Gallo, filled the big hole.
In the early morning of the next day, the mercenaries woke up refreshed, and everyone stretched comfortably.
"I haven't slept so well in a long time!"
Captain Gesen said with satisfaction that, as a mercenary licking blood, insomnia, dreaminess and neurasthenia are very common occupational diseases. He has almost forgotten how many years ago it was the last time he slept so soundly.
Others also echoed, feeling that even in their own home, they have never slept so comfortably.
But they immediately realized that something was wrong.
Right now, he is obviously sleeping in the wild? Not far away is Yorktown, which may be lurking in danger. There is no reason to sleep so soundly, right
The mercenaries suddenly became tense, and hurriedly checked their status.
Although it is unscathed, there are some strange bruises and strangle marks on the body, and there are some dirt on the head and body...
They were a little confused about the situation, and they looked at Gallo who looked a little sluggish.
"Pastor Gallo, you didn't seem to sleep well last night? Do you know what happened?"
Gallo rubbed his eyes and replied:
"Ahem, I saw that you were sleeping so soundly, you were rolling all over the floor, so I just kept vigil by myself..."
"Nothing happened last night, even Yorktown was quiet."
Several mercenaries suddenly showed a look of shame, Captain Gesun was even more embarrassed and said:
"It's really hard work for you, in fact, you can wake us up."
Gallo smiled indifferently, and replied:
"As a kind priest, how can you disturb other people's dreams at will?"
These words immediately touched the hearts of the mercenaries. This Pastor Gallo is really a kind and good man! Gentle and considerate, very considerate of others.
What an ideal teammate!
Just through a small incident, Gallo won a lot of favor in the minds of the mercenaries.
"Okay, let's go to the town to have a look, Pastor Gallo, can you still persist?"
Captain Gerson asked again.
"Of course, I have long been used to penance."
Although Gallo really wanted to tell them that there was nothing to see there and the matter had been resolved, but he also felt that if he told the truth, many things would be hard to explain, so he simply showed his acting skills and pretended that nothing happened. Knowing that, he followed the mercenaries to Yorktown again.
The crowd wandered around the deserted town for a while, then searched separately for a while, and finally met in the small square where Gallo met the Lich.
"There is no one. Didn't there be people there yesterday? Why did they all disappear overnight?"
"There are no workers in the mine, and there are no traces of migration. Even all kinds of property are still in the house. They seem to have disappeared out of thin air?"
"What happened here? Could it be the work of some evil god?"
The mercenaries gathered their findings and immediately felt a kind of creepy horror.
And Gallo also cooperated with them, saying in surprise:
"Wow! Evil God! It's scary! It's scary! Let's go back and report this to the big sect!"
Captain Gesun also nodded repeatedly:
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go too!"
So just like that, everyone ran wildly all the way, returning to the city of innocence before dark.
Captain Gesun wanted to take everyone to report the matter to the three Orthodox churches, but Gallo excused himself to be too tired and went back to the church first.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong fragrance. The old bishop set up a table of delicious food. In addition to his favorite baked potatoes, there were also fish, meat and bread. He was waiting for him to come back. Meow' screamed and gathered around to meet him.
Gallo suddenly felt a warm feeling, and instantly dispelled the fatigue on his body.
"I came back just in time, much earlier than I expected, come and eat."
The old bishop put a pot of fish soup on the table with thick heat-insulating gloves on his hands.
Gallo hurriedly sat down at the table, habitually picked up a baked potato, and gnawed on it.
"Is everything going well?"
The old bishop asked while wrapping towels around the kittens.
“It went well...”
"I met a lich on the road, and there was a little accident, but I have already solved it..."
Gallo was busy eating and replied casually.
"Well, it's good that it goes well, it's good that it goes well..."
"Wait! What did you just say? A lich?!"
Probably because Gallo's tone was too understated, the old bishop realized that what he met was not a cat or a dog, but a lich known for its insidious, cunning, dangerous and difficult ways!
"Yeah, Lich, that stuff is broken! Everyone in a town was killed by him!"
"And it's very difficult to deal with. Even if I can't beat me, I refuse to admit defeat, and even escaped, which pissed me off!"
"Later, I tried to hunt him down, but I don't know if I succeeded. I will ask you to help me with divination later."
Gallo said while wolfing down.
