There are many things that do not need to be done personally. When Regulus Black let the town residents know that he was the Duke of Black and that Sleepy Hollow had become his territory, the pair of little lolita he fell in love with naturally There will be enthusiastic people who will deliver it.
"If it's convenient, I'd like to ride a horse for a walk around. After all, it's necessary to get familiar with your own territory."
Regulus Black wanted to borrow a horse to go around, so naturally he would not be refused.
The mayor lent his best horse to the Duke for the use of Regulus Black.
Riding a horse, Regulus Black began to wander aimlessly, and the mayor immediately took the sheriff and the priest, preparing to do the ideological work of the cook. If he could be favored by the Duke, even if he was just a small Maid, that is also a good thing to achieve success in one step, and if the three of them can do this for the Duke, they will naturally leave a good impression.
Regulus Black silently stared at his panoramic map system, and the entire Sleepy Hollow became clearer and clearer as he moved.
The entire Sleepy Hollow, except for the only road connecting it to the outside world, is not suitable for building roads. There are either cliffs and rivers, rocks and rocks, or patches of weird woods.
The plants throughout Sleepy Hollow can still grow, but they smell like death. Not only do the pale and dry branches have no leaves, but various knots can also be seen growing from the branches, some of which will ooze pus and emit a disgusting smell. .
Therefore, certain plots of land that can be planted are particularly valuable. They are one of the few areas that are not infected by magic.
After looking at the entire environment of Sleepy Hollow, Regulus Black came to a tree.
This is an ancient juniper that is still growing after falling to the ground. Even in the daytime, its branches are shining with a pale color. If it is under the moonlight, they will turn into a color like pale bones. The trunk of this tree It's cracked, but it's black and red wood inside.
The reason why I finally came here is because this is the origin of the entire Sleepy Hollow.
The crack on the tree trunk is actually a gap that communicates with hell. The magic power of hell continuously permeates the entire valley from here. However, because the amount of magic power is too small, it has not attracted the attention of the wizarding world, or it has noticed but did not care.
The surrounding trees were also distorted by the impact. With this tree as the center, the trees within a radius of 100 meters all had patterns similar to ghost faces on the side facing the center. Various distorted and painful faces seemed to be making silent howls.
"What a treasure land of Feng Shui! There are so many magical plants and so many alchemy materials, but they have never been developed. What a waste."
Regulus Black took a deep breath. For him who is essentially an Inferi, describing this kind of magic as a great tonic is an understatement. However, he cannot let this gap in hell expand. He needs to make use of it. Basically limit the proliferation of gaps.
"Da da da... da da da...!" A sound of horse hoofbeats came.
Under the gray sky, a headless horseman wearing a black suit appeared, obviously coming towards Regulus Black.
The horse quickly finished the 100-meter distance. The Headless Horseman waved his hands, holding an ax and a sword in his hand, and slashed at Regulus Black.
"Stand stiff and stop dead!"
Regulus Black waved his hand and used the leg-locking spell on the horse. Because of the sudden stop of the horse, the headless horseman flew directly over his head and fell heavily to the ground. If an ordinary person fell like this, his bones would not know it. Have to break a few.
The Headless Horseman is indeed a model of the undead system. He stood up as if nothing happened, turned around and continued to charge towards the target.
"All petrified!"
Regulus Black used the Petrification Curse to attack and inhibit the opponent's movements. However, the Headless Horseman was indeed a sophisticated killing machine. Just before he was hit by the curse, the throwing ax and dagger in his hand fell away. out.
"There are many obstacles!"
Taking a step back, the magic spell caused the ax and sword to hit the invisible wall and bounce to the ground.
"It seems that I have touched the source, and I must have stepped on someone's bottom line."
Looking at the fallen Headless Horseman, Regulus Black thought of many questions. In addition to the two little lolita, it seemed that there were other inheritors in Sleepy Hollow.
It makes sense if you think about it carefully. As a pre-set inheritance, those who meet the set conditions should receive the inheritance, so that the original intention of the designer will not be wasted.
It is estimated that ordinary women born here can receive this soul inheritance as long as they are infected with magic power.
"It's really a convenient inheritance! Let me try it again and dance with my men!"
Regulus Black waved his hand and summoned 7 skeleton soldiers in his skills.
Double ax skeleton, mace skeleton, shackle skeleton, scythe skeleton, javelin skeleton, staff skeleton, claw skeleton.
These are the skeleton soldiers of the seven major professions, Barbarian, Paladin, Druid, Necromancer, Amazon, Magician, and Assassin.
When the Headless Horseman was besieged by these professional skeleton soldiers, the scene was very embarrassing, because any skeleton soldier could fight the Headless Horseman vigorously. The skeleton soldiers could persevere as long as they were careful not to be smashed. .
Since they are all immortal beings, neither party can be killed. If you want to kill the other party, you must find and eliminate the source.
If the opponent only had this one Headless Horseman, then they would have to wait for Regulus Black to counterattack.
Riding on the borrowed horse, Regulus Black began to return towards the mayor's house. The Headless Horseman tried his best to break through the siege, but was held back by the skeleton soldiers. The two sides were in Regulus. Black was strangled into a pile as he left.
Mayor: "Mrs. Cook, it is their luck that your daughter can be favored by the Duke."
Sheriff: "Yes! Yes! This is a good thing that many people can't find. Why don't you think about it carefully!"
Priest: "Duke Black is a good man at first glance. Mrs. Cook, you have to believe that this is God's will."
"Get out of here! I won't let my daughter leave with anyone."
Mrs. Cook used swear words after being persuaded for a long time. Ever since she met Regulus Black, she was blocked at home by the three leaders of the town, even though they were locked in the room immediately. Outside the door, the three people had been persuading each other through the door for more than an hour, showing no signs of giving up and leaving. A certain Duke of Black said... The brainwashing effect is great.
They had been persuading for more than an hour, and the three of them were already thirsty. Now they have been scolded, but their task has not been completed yet, and they can't help but feel physically and mentally exhausted. This woman is too stubborn, rigid, and unreasonable.
Why did Lord Black fall in love with her daughter? Why don't you fall in love with your own daughter? You're wrong... I don't have a daughter either. This matter is really difficult!
"Mom! Why don't you let us follow Duke Black?"
As an elder sister, Karena Cook naturally has the idea of protecting her younger sister and protecting the family. By following a noble adult, she can get corresponding protection. Although she is only 10 years old, she understands this truth early.
However, her mother's blind opposition made her feel very strange. Compared with her simple sister, she still needed to ask these questions.
"Mom misses dad again. Every time she is sad, she will hold dad's skull."
Catlin Cook reached out and touched the skull in Mrs. Cook's arms. It was the skull of her dead father. It was the only part left behind by the father who died in an accident shortly after the sisters were born.
After the family encountered difficulties several times, my mother held my father's skull and prayed, and the family was able to overcome the difficulties.
It was precisely because of this skull that the sisters accidentally awakened and inherited the soul inheritance of the Headless Horseman.
"Mrs. Cook! I think we have some things that we need to discuss privately."
The calm voice of Regulus Black came from outside the door, but it sent Mrs. Cook into a state of panic.
Elsewhere, skeleton soldiers were cutting the headless horseman into pieces again. No matter how the opponent healed, they continued to cut into pieces.
