"So, where did this guy Ludy go?"

The tall Qila walked around the castle, looking for her companions: "Don't you think I'm really interested in that Angus? What a stingy man..."

She sighed and touched the ring on her ring finger.

Although this magic prop only comes with a spell called cleansing, she cherishes it very much.

Before she actually joined the wizard Ludy in the team, she always thought wizards were scary...

From birth to becoming a mercenary, no matter how many towns I went to, I almost never saw the lord. All I could hear was that so-and-so committed something, was caught in prison, and was transferred to the lord's dungeon, and then again

It has never appeared...

Horrible topics like that.

Although he felt that he deserved to die after hearing about the charges, his impression of the nobles did not shift much towards "justice" or "fairness". The impression that deepened was basically that they were frighteningly powerful.

Even though there were many traveling wizards among the mercenaries, she didn't think there was any difference between traveling wizards and wizard lords - before meeting Ludy.

Touching his fingers, Qila had a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth. He picked up his weapon and searched the room while looking for his companions who didn't know where they had gone.

Thinking back to what happened before, she felt a little angry.

They originally wanted to take advantage of the heavy snow to stop and rush to the county town of Durade, but the snow stopped for a few hours before it started falling again. In a hurry, they found an abandoned castle next to the forest and hid in it.

.

Speaking of which, this castle is really hidden. It deviated quite a bit from the route to the town. If they hadn't happened upon it by chance, they wouldn't have been able to discover this castle at all.

Mr. Angus, who called himself the bard, came to the castle after they stayed in the castle for half a day.

He's just a little thin, but the music he plays is very nice.

"It seems to be called 'Schubert's Serenade'?" Chera touched her chin, "Who is Schubert?"

She doesn't know much about what's going on among the bards...

She has never heard of the "famous musician Schubert", not even Ludy has heard of it...

Could it be that this Schubert is some kind of elven musician?

Ludy likes music very much. He basically knows the popular music in the Kingdom of Allen and the famous bard Ludy. He even knows some famous bards in the Glory Continent.

But there is nothing called Schubert in it... The elves are better than all humanoid races in artistic attainments, including humans. Although humans also have a lot of outstanding music, it is still

Elf music?

The other party actually said something like, "No, no, no, this is human art. Mr. Schubert is a pure human being without any elven blood. This is human art."

Is he a very famous person?

But Ludy doesn’t even know...

By the way, how did Angus know that Mr. Schubert was purely human? Many bards don't know whether they have elven blood or not.

According to Ludy's guess, either Angus hates the elves and has some kind of "human race supremacy", and then changes the elves' works to speak of "human art", or else there really is this person.

.....But it's not that famous.

At least it has nothing to do with "famous".

It feels more like the latter, because when talking about elves during chat, the other party doesn't seem to have any special reaction.

Is there really a "musician" called Schubert?

Such beautiful music will definitely become famous in the future, right?

After thinking about it, Qila suddenly stopped: "I almost passed it."

She turned back and because she was distracted, she passed a room directly. What if there happened to be a treasure in the missing room?

Although this situation is basically impossible, every mercenary will have this idea of ​​a lucky person.

With a chuckle, Qila came to the door.

The door to the room is similar to the doors in other rooms. They are all wooden doors that have decayed due to being abandoned for too long. The door handle is covered with dust. The middle part is shallow and the sides are thick.

Same as other rooms.

If it was this thick, it would have been one or two months before they came? Other mercenaries should have come and searched it, and even if they found anything good, it wouldn't be their turn.

How could it be possible to encounter ruins so often and still have them remain undiscovered?

How lucky are you? Normally, more than 99% of mercenaries will never encounter a ruin once in their lifetime, let alone those who have not been discovered.

When I opened the door, the wind blew up a layer of dust.

"Ahem -" She squinted her eyes, her long upper and lower eyelashes crossed in front of her eyes, she fanned the dust that floated in front of her eyes with her hand, and scanned the room.

The entire room is covered with ceramic tiles with floral patterns, and even the walls are decorated with the same ceramic tiles. The style is too monotonous and looks a bit strange.

Then, there was a faint smell of barbecue floating in the room.

The smell is very light, but her nose is very good. This smell should be from a month ago...

It made her want to eat barbecue. In such a cold weather, it would be great if she could have a barbecue... with Ludy...

The reverie scene brought a smile to her lips.

...

"Go to hell, go to hell..."

Holding a sharp dagger in his right hand, he swiped hard on his white wrist. The bright red wound stretched from his wrist to the palm of his hand. The coldness of the metal and the pain came into his mind, but none of these feelings could stop Qi.

The action of pulling.

"Why would you rather be with that wandering warbler Dicoli than accept me?" She murmured to herself and placed her scratched palm on the ground.

Drops of blood gushed out, like small insects, squirming and forming mysterious symbols in the air.

Scarlet symbols lit up one by one, and the strange red light rippled in the air, wrapping Qila in the center.

"..." Her eyes gradually became empty. She stretched out her hands, holding something in her arms, and muttered something in her mouth like she was dreaming.

The blood coagulated and formed a sphere in the air. The color of the blood sphere became redder and redder. Drops of blood floated in the air, rotating around Chera's body.

Every rotation made Chera's face look paler.

...

What's this?

Lu Di looked at the ground solemnly. Although it was blurry, he could vaguely see:

[I am...I don’t know who I am. A large number of external memories have interfered with my thinking. It is difficult for me to distinguish which memories do not belong to me.]

[If the speculation is not wrong, then I am Ludy, one of the descendants of Earl Ludy.]

Lu Di's eyes widened as he read this passage.

[As long as you stay in this castle for more than an hour, some strange memories will appear.]

[I have the habit of keeping a diary, but these things are not in my automatic diary. It may be that my automatic diary has been tampered with, or there may be an error in my memory.]

[According to the memories and related speculations I got, these memories come from people who died in this castle.]

[I haven’t been able to directly observe my own soul. I’m not sure whether it’s because I got other people’s soul fragments, but it’s very possible.]

[I don’t know if I can survive. I can’t move now. If anyone can find it, please look for it and save the record again.]

There is a break at this point in this paragraph. There are subtle differences in the writing of the words used for recording, but they are all very similar to his handwriting. If you don't pay attention, you may even think that it was written by yourself.

Lu Di took a long breath,

[Continuing the record of the previous Ludy, tut, this title is really strange. People who enter this castle come from all over the place. I should have entered the castle in Scrat County, but the record left by the previous Ludy

It's Ludy County. By the way, my teammate Koga said he saw the flames burning.]

[I should be the third Ludy? No matter, I entered the castle in Susi County. Koga did claim to see flames burning, cages and so on. By the way, Cheela said that I betrayed her and wanted to

kill me.]

[I am......]

[Is the one in front also dead? Then I should be the fifth Ludi. I entered the castle from Filek County. Qila didn’t attack me. She killed Decoli. By the way, everyone in the castle

It is as black as ashes...]

The three details are slightly different, but the general fonts are the same, as if they were written by the same person.

[I came in from Ludy County. Koga is dead, Dicoli was also killed, there was a lot of blood left at the scene, Cheela is missing, the captain is missing, and the castle has no traces of burning...

..]

[I am Ludy No. 7, right? Glora County, it seems that your team members are all the same? I don’t have a captain here, I am the captain, and there is no trace of flames...]

[No. 8. The captain is a bearded mercenary. There is no problem with Cheela. She has always been by my side. Koga is missing. There is no Dicoli in the team...]

[I am Rudy No. 9? Ah, no matter how you look at it, it feels like an illusion... Forget it, I am also from Filek County... It seems that people from all counties in the Allen Kingdom

There are all of them....]

[Combining the previous records of 'Ludi', 'Captain', 'Ludi', 'Dikeli', 'Koga', and 'Cheela' all appeared many times, and the other names appeared even more times.

Only once, these five people were the source...]

[I am the eleventh? Common descriptions include 'burning' and 'charred corpse', which are related to fire. I am going to try to escape from the castle. I don't know if I can succeed. If the next Ludy appears, maybe

It means my escape failed.]

Lu Di took a deep breath, and the description stopped abruptly.

These descriptions made his face grow heavier. If these are true, then he is not the real Ludy...
Chapter completed!
