Quenched long order

Chapter 115 White Bandage
The end of the sunset touches the horizon.

Sauer stood on the soft soil, looking back at the flaming sunset, feeling more and more heavy.

Of the three alchemists on the list, he had already met two of them, and he didn't spend too much time except for the traveling time, because the first two refused very simply.

"You go to someone else, I'm busy."

"I'm not interested in doing charity, but if you are willing to be my test subject, I'd be more than happy. You can make a price."

Even though he had the cheek to ask a few more questions, the result remained the same.

Perhaps, the prosperity of Westwood Port is just an appearance, just like the trading market on Stewart Island, full of laughter.

In essence, the two are still the same place, but the scope is larger.

he thought.

Now, he could only go to the last alchemist on the list—Kraut, but he didn't have much hope. He went to Kraut's residence and found that Kraut had moved from his original residence. After asking the neighbors, he was told that Kraut had moved outside Westwood Port, but it was not too far from his original residence.

Considering that Mariela could change back because of the short change time, Sauer decided to hurry up and ask Kraut if he would like to help.

If you don't want to, then this commission will stop here.

That's what he's going to do.

Continue along the path, the wild scenery is not bad, but Saul is not in the mood to appreciate it, and then, on a hillside in front of him, a large house appears, and the house is halfway up.

"This should be Kraut's residence."

Saul took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and then let go.

He continued walking for a while until he came to the edge of a woodland, and heard the sound of thump, thump, thump.

Saul looked in the direction where the sound came from. Beside the quiet woodland, a man was hitting his head against a tree, again and again, full of rhythm.

Sauer felt a little familiar with this scene. Later, he recalled that the familiar feeling was just hitting the tree. In the world before traveling, he often saw people bumping their backs against trees in the park, but they had never seen people bumping their heads against trees.

"Still, it's better not to get close."

With that said, the air perception ability spread out, focusing on the direction of the woodland.

As the distance gradually approached, the appearance of the man who hit the tree became clearer. Shaoer found that although the man was wearing black clothes, his face, hands and feet were all wrapped in bandages, and it seemed that his eyes were not exposed.

An indescribable feeling rose in Shaoer's heart, which was weird but indescribable. There was no burning feeling in his soul, and the man in front of him seemed to be in no danger.

He quickened his pace, went to Kraut's house, and went back quickly.

The sound of boom, boom, boom came from the rear, getting farther and farther away.

Even though he didn't see Kraut, Sauer almost already had the answer in his heart, just like the scene of going to the trading market to ask for help for the first time on Stewart Island.

Stewart Island is a small world.

When I came to the house on the hillside, the courtyard gate was closed tightly, and the sharp spikes on the top of the wall gave off a cold light in the setting sun.

dong dong dong.

Saul knocked on the courtyard door with his right hand.

Suddenly, he felt that the sound was very similar to the sound of hitting a tree that he heard just now.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the woodland below the mountain.

At the edge of the forest, the strange man in black disappeared, as if he had left at some point.

Footsteps came from the courtyard door.

"Who?" A question came out.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Kraut?" Sauer introduced himself and explained the purpose of his visit. He was looking for an alchemist willing to help the Mance family.

With a creak, the courtyard door slowly opened.

A middle-aged man with severe dark circles stood in the courtyard. His eyes were full of exhaustion. He was wearing a loose silver-black jacket and brown trousers. He was holding a black cloak in his right hand. He gently shook his hand, and the black cloak was casually draped over his shoulders.

"What symptoms?" Kraut asked, his voice loud and full of breath.

Shaoer didn't pay attention. Under the sound, there was pain in the eardrum, and his right eyebrow frowned slightly. Then, he explained the situation of the Mance family in a kind tone, including the matter of the statue of the king of the black domain.

After listening to Kraut, he fell into deep thought. Then, he shook his head solemnly and replied:

"There is a problem with Ni's narrative, which is not objective enough and may be misleading."

"Although I haven't seen the Mance family, but according to the disaster performance you mentioned, the Mance family will become like this, probably not because of the deformation, but because they were stuffed in..."

Speaking of this, Kraut stretched out his hands, palms facing each other, and gestured for a shape, "...in an independent time and space, you understand? This is why the Mance family is still alive."

At this time, the black cloak on his shoulders fell to the ground. Kraut bent down to pick it up, and grabbed the courtyard door with his other hand.

"You have a way?" Sauer was very surprised. From Kraut's words, he could also judge the other party's intentions.

Kraut thought for a while, and replied: "No, find someone else, I'm very busy."

Sauer opened his mouth, wanting to persuade a few more words, but Rooney's words came to his mind.

Many times, ordinary people don't give up, just for a hope. In fact, they already have the answer in their hearts, but they just don't want to accept it.

Just as Mariela is unwilling to accept that the Mance family has suffered bad luck.

Saul thanks.

Kraut waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I can't help you, by the way, don't come here if you have nothing to do, it's not safe."

Saul nodded, turned and left without asking any more questions.

He had just taken two steps when Kraut's sonorous voice came from behind him again.

"Wait." Kraut walked out of the yard, "Where did the bandage on your back come from?"

"Bandages?" Saul turned his head, touched his back with his right hand, just happened to touch a soft cloth, he grabbed it and put it in front of him.

A slender white cloth lay quietly in the palm of his hand. After getting closer, he realized that the cloth strip was not completely white, and there was an alchemy circle on it at intervals. However, at this time, the alchemy circle on the cloth strip was not in operation.

He recognized the source of the cloth, it was the strange man he saw on the road near the edge of the woodland just now.

The weird feeling I felt at that time flooded my heart again, the chill rose from the soles of my feet, swept my whole body, and rushed into my brain. Even though the afterglow of the setting sun was still bright at this time, the warmth seemed to disappear.

When did it happen?I obviously paid attention not to approach him, so as long as I saw him, I would encounter this kind of thing?Is he a disaster too?
Countless questions came to his mind.

The sense of security in Westwood Port disappeared in an instant, and many unclear questions were answered after personal experience.

Why is Westwood Port so inactive in the face of disasters, but trade is still prosperous and still able to attract people around to gather? The answer is very simple. If the Mance family is unlucky, then the uninhabited area near Westwood Port has always been in hell.

In a trance, he felt a burst of despair.

When they were on Stewart Island, the miners still dreamed of living a happy life. Now it seems that, perhaps, it’s just that misfortune has not yet come. After all, there are many people in this world, especially ordinary people.

Kraut stretched out his hand, took the white cloth strip in his hand, and urged, "Tell me quickly."

His eyes were bloodshot, and his right hand held the white cloth tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Sauer withdrew his thoughts and answered Kraut's question about the time he saw the bandaged man at the edge of the woodland and what the bandaged man was doing at that time. Of course, he also emphasized that he did nothing.

After listening to it, Kraut seemed to lose all energy. He wobbled and took two steps back until he leaned against the door frame, "It's over...it's over..."

He murmured.

Saul was about to ask.

Kraut seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard gate.

The courtyard door is open.

Shaoer hurriedly followed, he had to figure out the situation now, although the area of ​​Westwood Port was very large, he felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

He ran into the courtyard and saw many materials in the courtyard, which seemed to be alchemy materials.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther.

Sauer unfolded the ability of air perception and followed Kraut until he bypassed the front yard and came to the back yard.

In the backyard, there is an exquisite black wooden house. The wooden house is in the center of a large alchemy circle. At this time, the alchemy circle is slowly rotating.

Shaoer carefully looked at the wooden house, and he found that the wooden house has no doors and windows, and all the gaps are sealed by lead-gray soil, not like a house for living, but more like a coffin.

In front of the black wooden house, Kraut was holding a delicate gray jar with a pounding stick in his hand. At this time, he was carefully inspecting the soil on the wall of the wooden house to see if there were any flaws.

"Kraut, what's the matter?" Saul asked aloud, "Do you know that person? Who is he?"

Kraut ignored Saul and continued to check.

Seeing this, Saul didn't ask any more questions, but just observed silently.

He saw Kraut come to the side of the black wooden house, and in the middle of the side of the wooden house, there was a piece of soil that was not lead gray, but turned into a very obvious off-white, like a spot.

After Kraut saw it, he quickly poked off the gray-white soil with a pestle stick, then moved his right eye forward, and looked into the house through the gap.

The ability to sense the air was activated, and it was also gathered at the point where Kraut watched. The air continued to probe inward, and soon, the entity was felt, but due to the severe blockade, it could only be detected to this point.

As Kraut withdrew his gaze and filled the gap he poked with lead gray soil again, the effect of air perception was completely cut off.

Sauer found that the ability to sense air could no longer enter the strange wooden house in front of him. However, the information he had just sensed could prove many things. In the black wooden house, there was no breathing.

No matter what is inside the wooden house, it cannot be ordinary people.

After finishing everything, Kraut let out a long breath, raised his right hand to wipe the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and then turned his head to look at Saul with bloodshot eyes, as if looking at a dead person.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Sauer said, but his tone was no longer as respectful as before. The situation is getting more and more wrong now, and it seems to be beyond his control. If Kraut doesn't tell him what he knows, he may have to take some extreme measures.

"Maybe it came out from the gap just now..." Kraut said, his voice was still full of air, but without the loudness at the beginning, there was a lot of helplessness revealed in this voice.

He sighed and continued:

"Inside is my son... Navin, Navin Werth, if he is still alive, he should be about the same age as you."

As he spoke, Kraut seemed to recall the past.

"He passed away five years ago, no, in fact, his body is still alive. I want to keep him, so I keep him here all the time to see if I can find any way to save him."

Sauer frowned, the information didn't have much effect on him, what he wanted to know was the more critical situation:

"So, what does it mean that his bandages are on my back? Does it mean I'm going to die? You just resealed the cabin, so I should be fine?"

He slowly clenched his right hand into a fist.

"This kind of situation happened once before, when Navin appeared in a village. Afterwards, everyone in the village died and no one survived. I only found out about this later." Clout grabbed his hair with his right hand, "I don't know if you can live, but running farther will definitely not help, because the village is a bit far away, and you can't go far even if you ride a horse. Sorry, I will bury you properly. This is the only thing I can do. Do you have any last words or things you want to do? Can you tell me? Me, I can help you."

"Is it a disaster?" Saul's tone became cold.

Perhaps sensing that Sauer's tone was not ordinary, Kraut's eyes also became serious.

Sauer raised his right hand, bent his four fingers, put his thumb on the second knuckle of his index finger, and the air cannon began to charge.

It is better to take the initiative to attack than to sit still.

If it would be dangerous to wait until night, then it would be better to kill that ghost named Navin now.

"What do you want to do!" Klaut noticed Saul's movement and roared angrily: "Put your hands down, do you hear me, I tell you to put them down!"

Saul was unmoved.

"You stay, I can help you find a way!" Kraut threw the jar in his hand on the ground and walked towards Saul.

"I'm trying to figure out a way now." Saul gritted his teeth.

I can't die here, I still have a lot to do.

He warned himself in his heart.

He tried almost everything to escape from Stewart Island. He still hasn't figured out why he came to this world, and he hasn't found the real culprit who killed Natalie and Garland. He still has to go inside the door of borrowing life to find out what the source of blessing is.

How can die here.

Saul gritted his teeth.

"If you dare to touch him, I'll kill you now." Kraut pressed his eyebrows. Behind him, a phantom in the shape of a white puppet appeared, with two sharp red lines in his eyes. The puppet's limbs seemed to be hung by strings, randomly placed, and a dangerous atmosphere enveloped the backyard instantly.

"This is... the soul body?" Sauer's pupils contracted, and he thought of something the inspector had said to him about the level of the quencher. After knowing the name of the soul, he officially stepped into the high-level Xuan, and when the soul body appeared, he reached a higher level—Dading.
