Chapter 643 Heat Stroke and Daytime Demons

The Osenko farmers who stopped the convoy stared at Eden and Wildo warily.

The dwarf priest looked up at the group of farmers and asked:
"What is the specific situation? Tell us and we can solve it. Where is the ghost you mentioned?"

A young man from Osenko stood up and said:

"This is not an ordinary ghost, it is the wrath of the gods! Let your princess go home quickly!"

As soon as these words came out, many other Osenko farmers immediately echoed and they started shouting.

Verdo sighed,
"You have to tell your king about this. Even if the princess wants to go back, it won't help if your king doesn't agree.

Don’t you know this kind of thing clearly?Why did you stop our motorcade instead of going to see your king? "

Verdo's words were very logical. After hearing this, all the Osenko farmers were speechless. After a while, the leading farmer shouted:

"The king will put us in jail."

"Because we can't put you in jail, so you're blocking our convoy?"

Verdo asked rhetorically.

The Osenko farmers nodded and agreed with Verdo's statement.

Verdo scratched his head and said earnestly:
“You should know that it is impossible to let the princess go back.

In this case, why not take a step back and let us help you solve this incident. I can guarantee that this is definitely not the wrath of a god. Did any of you clearly hear the roar of a god? "

After the words fell, the Osenko farmers looked at me and I looked at you. The leader of the farmer hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

"Then, please come with us, both of you."

................................................

Following the footsteps of the farmers, Verdo and Eden came to a village. This village was a bit simple. Except for the stone temple, no house in the whole village was made of stone.

"In the name of Prato, the god of fauns, may he bless you regardless of your faith."

After meeting the two priests, the village chief said this.

"Let's get right to the point."

Eden said directly.

"You should know that our area has been haunted recently. It's in the wheat field to the west. There is a dry well and a barn there. Since it became haunted, the barn has been abandoned."

The village chief pointed them in the direction and said.

"You might as well tell us the specific situation."

said the dwarf priest.

The village chief took a deep breath and described the situation.
"The latest victim is a young man named Pluto. He and his friends went to harvest wheat in the wheat field. There was no wind that day, the sun was shining, and there were no clouds in the sky. The wheat was swaying gently. He suddenly followed him. The friend said that he was very sleepy and wanted to go back first, but when his friend returned to the village, he found that Pluto was not at home at all.

Later, when his friend returned to the wheat field the next morning, he found that the young man had died in the ground, and his whole body was very hot. "

Verdo and Eden finished listening to the village chief's story.

The dwarf priest rolled his eyes and lowered his voice to Iden:

"It doesn't sound like it's haunted, it sounds like...heatstroke."

"what?"

Eden didn't hear something clearly.

"Heatstroke."

Verdo spoke louder.

The village chief looked at the two people suspiciously and said in confusion:
"What is heat stroke?"

The village chief obviously heard this word for the first time.

The dwarf priest scratched his head and didn't know how to explain.

To him, a priest who reads and writes, heat stroke is common knowledge, but to these farmers who have guarded one-third of an acre of land for generations, it is like a ghost haunting the wheat fields.

Eden thought of something and said aloud:
"He said that the body found in the morning was very hot, and it might not be as simple as heat stroke."

"You mean?"

"Maybe... a day demon."

The village chief asked again:
"What is the day demon?"

"A type of ghost, usually a female ghost. They are full of hatred for farmers and shepherds and try every possible means to kill them."

Eden replied.

"Is the 'heatstroke' you mentioned also a ghost?"

The village chief asked again.

"No, it's just a...disease. People will get heat stroke if they stay in the sun for a long time, especially on a sunny day."

Verdo explained,

"Now it may be a day demon, or heatstroke, or both. Anyway, we won't know until we have to take a look."

The village chief looked suddenly enlightened.

Eden thought of something and asked aloud:

"Whether it's heat stroke or day demons, it obviously has nothing to do with the gods. Who told you that this is the wrath of the gods?"

The village chief hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said:
"A druid who lives in the forest."

.............................................

Under the leadership of the villagers, Eden and Verdo came to the wheat field where ghosts were rumored to be causing trouble.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Soon, the two of them were sweating from the sun.

After the villagers brought Eden and Wildo here, they left quickly, obviously not wanting to stay for a moment longer.

The two of them did a cursory investigation of the surroundings and found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Child, can you find those bodies?"

Verdo complained,

"Oh my god, those villagers escaped so quickly and didn't even tell us where the bodies were."

Eden shrugged.

"I can only find it slowly."

The two searched the area for a long time.

Perhaps because of the unlucky coin, Eden had bad luck. After searching for a long time, he could not see the body.

Instead, it was Verdo who discovered a body first.

The corpse was under a scarecrow. Eden took a look and found that the latter's clothes were relatively intact. The flesh and blood had rotted away, exposing the bones. There was not much rotten smell in the air.

"It seems that he is not the Pluto the village chief said. He should have died two months ago."

Verdo, who often held funerals for people, judged this way.

Eden recited scriptures in a low voice and entered a spiritual state. After careful inspection, he found that the corpse did not have any evil aura.

"There is no evil smell. I feel like I died of heat stroke."

Eden said,

"Is it really just heat stroke?"

Verdo replied:
"It's not impossible, there are so many ghosts in this world.

Find the next body. "

Soon after, the two found another body near the barn, and it was still Wildo who discovered it first.

"This body died a month ago. There is still flesh and blood on it, and there are insects next to it."

Verdo pinched his nose and said.Eden checked again and found that there was no evil aura either.

Maybe...it's really just heat stroke.

"It feels like we've found the answer, it's just heat stroke."

Verdo said helplessly,

"My God, they stopped the carriage just because of this."

The time gradually came to noon, the scorching sun was high, the earth was boiling and steam was rising up, and the sultry heat and dryness were squeezed into the chest.

Perhaps because he had been walking under the scorching sun for too long, Eden felt dizzy. He looked at Verdo and found that the latter was not much better.

"It looks like we're going to have heatstroke too."

Verdo said with a wry smile.

With that said, the two people hurriedly ran towards the barn. They pushed open the door and squeezed in, breathing heavily in the shadows.

Eden rubbed his hair, sat in the shadows, and kept breathing.

The strange thing is that the dizziness and swelling have not been relieved, and my forehead keeps getting hot.

Eden gradually felt an indescribable fatigue and sleepiness swept over him.

Turning his head, Eden saw Verdo leaning on the straw, blinking tiredly.

What's going on...are we all suffering from heatstroke?

Eden closed his eyes, and then his nerves suddenly became tense.

Something is wrong!
Eden recited scriptures and entered a spiritual state. In his spiritual vision, he saw traces of evil aura.

Daytime demon!

The priest silently clenched his fists.

Sure enough, it wasn't just heat stroke.

Eden steeled himself, recalled something, and found that this ghost was more cunning than he had imagined.

This ghost does not directly kill everyone who steps into the wheat field, but selectively kills those who stay in the wheat field for a long time.

People who died of heatstroke were mixed with those she killed, making it unclear whether the place was really haunted.

And since they have been in this area for so long, this day demon spirit has been observing in the dark, waiting until they show symptoms of heat stroke before taking action.

Thinking of this, Eden's miracle became even more tense.

If you leave now... then you will alert the snake and scare this ghost away. Instead of doing this, it is better to use a trick, disguise yourself, and wait for her to take the bait.

After coming up with the plan in his mind, Eden breathed calmly, relaxed his body, and leaned against the wall of the barn.

The dwarf priest next to him obviously couldn't resist the rising sleepiness at this time. Soon after, there were snorings one after another.

Evil and strange spiritual fluctuations flashed past, and Eden noticed that the day demon was approaching.

There was a creaking sound from the barn door.

Eden opened his eyelids a little.

A female ghost with rotting flesh and flesh, wearing a pale white wedding dress and a distorted shape, was slowly approaching with a long tongue hanging out, amidst a strange smile, holding a sickle.

Sure enough... Eden thought in his heart.

During the day, the demon spirit twisted her head stiffly in the barn, looked at Iden, and then at the dwarf priest, and then she turned her attention to the dwarf, as if he was sleeping more deeply.

Eden suddenly raised his hand, predicted the position, and chanted:
"Boru, Ossus."

The brilliance condensed at the fingertips, and the unstoppable arrow of light flew out in an instant, heading towards the day demon spirit.

The day demon suddenly turned around and screamed in fear.

The light arrow stone did not stop because of the scream of the day demon spirit. The ancient words to purify evil spirits were so cruel and ruthless, as if it would only take a moment to tear the day demon spirit into pieces.

The demon spirit stopped in place due to fear, motionless during the day.

Then...the Arrow of Light failed...

Yes, failed.

There was an awkward moment between the priest and the ghost.

Eden's eyes widened. He had predicted the trajectory of the ghost's escape and shot it in the direction she was avoiding.

Unexpectedly, this ghost was immediately stunned.

This luck...is really...

Eden felt a little regretful. He should not have tried the unlucky coin.

Soon, both sides reacted. The day demon spirit roared in fear and anger. She stretched out her sharp white nails and turned into silver needles to attack Iden. Then her lower body turned into a wisp of blue smoke and was about to fly quickly. The ground fled from the barn.

Eden naturally would not let her go. He dodged the silver needle and fired four arrows of light in succession. However, only one hit the day demon, who let out a shrill scream and fled even more fiercely.

"Damn...Onua!"

Eden was a little anxious and directly used the ancient words of the third-level choir.

The steps of the daytime demon spirit suddenly stagnated, and she turned her head, looking at Eden with a twisted expression of pain and disbelief.

Her body was slowly changing as the ancient words fell, and a burning pain spread throughout her body.

The ghost screamed miserably and watched helplessly as his body slowly turned into holy feathers one after another. He watched as the evil spirits in his soul were stripped away and he was sent to hell without force majeure. For the ghost, , as if a person is watching himself being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.

Among those screams, Eden heard a little depression and horror.

How did the demon spirits during the day know that there were people who knew how to kill chickens with a knife?

After a while, the spirit of the day demon disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pale white skeleton and a wedding dress on the ground.

Eden breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed at himself:
"Although I'm not very lucky...

However, in the face of absolute power, a little luck is nothing. "

The priest rubbed his head and rested for a while in the shadow of the barn before waking up Verdo.

The dwarf priest obviously didn't know what happened. When Iden told what happened just now, he was shocked.

"There really is a day demon!"

Eden nodded and pointed in the direction of the remains of the day demon spirit.

Verdo quickly picked up the pace and came to the remains of the demon spirit.

As a priest, Verdo had also exorcised ghosts several times. He looked left and right, and made a judgment based on experience:

"This ghost, she was not formed naturally."

"You mean, it's man-made?"

"Yes, child, you see there are traces of witchcraft on her body, right here."

Verdo picked up the wedding dress on the ground, turned it over, and found that there was indeed a ceremonial circle inside.

The ritual circle, also known as the magic circle among ordinary people, appears on the wedding dress of the day demon spirit, which means that the day demon spirit is unlikely to be formed naturally.

After a moment, the dwarf priest grimaced, as if he had thought of something.

Eden thought the same thing.

"Child, do you still remember what the village chief said?"

"You mean, someone told him that this was the wrath of the gods?"

Eden immediately thought of it and asked.

Verdo nodded seriously and said in a solemn tone:

"This thing looks unusual. Act quickly, we have to find the druid the village chief mentioned."
