Chapter 116 The Phantom of the Dead 2
On the carriage.
Philon, who was leaning against Shi Yichen, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes still slightly moist.
"You cried?"
Shi Yichen reached out and gently wiped the corner of Philon's eye.
"No, I was just thinking about things from the past."
Philon smiled and shook his head, rubbing his chubby little face against Shi Yichen's palm.
"You're thinking about Haita, aren't you?"
Shi Yichen saw through the person Philen was thinking of at a glance.
“Well, Mr. Haita said that if I do a good boy, he will come to see me as a ghost.”
Philon smiled and said to Shi Yichen, "Although such a thing doesn't exist, isn't it a kind of spiritual sustenance?"
Don't worry! We'll definitely meet again.
Shi Yichen gently rubbed Philon's head and said comfortingly.
"Aren't we there yet?"
Philon looked at the carriage that was still on its way and asked in confusion.
"They said we're almost at the village."
Frilian, who was looking at the grimoire, said to Philon.
"I see."
Philon rubbed his chubby face, trying to cheer himself up.
"what happened?"
Frilian looked at Philon with a puzzled expression.
"nothing."
Philon smiled and shook his head in response.
"We've arrived."
Shi Yichen looked at the distant village and spoke to Frilian and Philon.
"We've finally arrived."
Frilian put away the magic book in her hand, came to Shi Yichen's side, and looked at the village in the distance. Her little bottom was sore from sitting all the way.
"How about we go to the village to rest for a bit?"
Shi Yichen looked at Frilian and Philon. It was almost noon, so it was a good time to go to the village for lunch.
"I have no objection, what about you, Philon?"
Frillie nodded and looked at Philon.
"I can too."
Philon rubbed her bottom; she was tired of sitting. The carriage was made of wood, hard and bumpy, and very uncomfortable. She had wanted to get off for a long time.
"That's the decision."
Shi Yichen nodded.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the village. After the three of them got off, the carriage drove away.
"Let's go in and take a look."
With that, Frilian walked into the village, and Shi Yichen and Philen followed her.
The three of them found a popular restaurant and had lunch. After resting for a while, they prepared to embark on their journey, heading into the mountains according to their planned route.
"You're planning to take the mountain path, aren't you?"
As soon as Shi Yichen and his two companions stepped onto the street, the proprietress at a roadside stall asked them a question.
"Ah."
Shi Yichen nodded.
"I advise you to change your mind; several people have already gone missing."
The proprietress kindly reminded Shi Yichen and the other two.
"Has a monster appeared?"
Frillie looked at the proprietress with a puzzled expression.
"It's said that it was taken away by a ghost, and some people even saw it with their own eyes."
The proprietress didn't know what had happened in the mountains; she had only heard about it from others.
"It might be an undead! Do you know what that ghost looks like?"
Frillie didn't find it scary at all; it was just a mindless monster, though she didn't know what kind of monster it was.
"I don't know about that. If you're curious, why don't you just ask them?"
The proprietress waved her hand. She didn't know what had attacked the person either, since she hadn't witnessed it herself. However, she suggested asking those who had seen ghosts.
Thank you!
After thanking the proprietress, the three of them discussed it and decided to ask those who had seen the ghost what kind of ghost it was.
The sun gradually set behind the mountains. Since asking around had taken too much time, the three decided to stay there for the night and continue their journey the next day.
After an afternoon of questioning, the three of them came to some conclusions.
"In short, some people have seen the ghosts of their deceased relatives or acquaintances, and they all look the same as they did in life. Some even claim that the ghosts spoke to them."
This was the first time Philon had ever seen anything like this, so she was particularly concerned. After all, Haita had once said that he would come to see her as a ghost, and she never expected to hear about ghosts today.
"It wasn't the undead who did this."
Frillie said with certainty, after all, she had encountered this kind of thing before, and several times in fact.
"Is that right?"
Philon looked at Frillie with a puzzled expression.
"After all, the undead are a general term for corpses that are manipulated by magic, such as zombies and skeletons."
Frilian said to Philon as they walked.
"But what they saw this time was the appearance of the deceased before death. If it were a corpse, it wouldn't look like that. This was done by a completely different kind of monster."
"Lady Frillien, it seems you've already got a clue!"
As Philon listened to Frilian's powerful analysis, it was as if Frilian already knew what kind of monster had made it.
"I haven't seen any ghosts or anything like that."
Shi Yichen shrugged and said to Frilian and Philen, "In all the years I've traveled the continent, I've never actually seen the ghosts people talk about, let alone the ghosts of my own relatives or friends."
"That's because of the goddess's blessing within you! Whether it's a demon, a monster, or a human, none of them can affect you on a spiritual level. You are their nemesis."
Frillie turned to Shi Yichen and said that she had tested Shi Yichen before, and all mental magic was ineffective against him because Shi Yichen had the blessing of the goddess and was naturally immune to this type of magic.
"Of course I know that, but I just want to see who the ghost that appears in front of me will be."
Shi Yichen said with a regretful expression that she also wanted to see in whose form the ghost that appeared in front of her again would appear, but it would most likely be her parents. If Flame had not been resurrected, it might be Flame.
"Those monsters are disgusting; we have to be careful not to run into them."
Frilian looked at Shi Yichen and Philon, then went into the hotel room.
The thought of this monster gave Frilian a headache. She had encountered such a monster during her previous travels. Initially, it transformed into the appearance of Flame, and Frilian killed it without hesitation.
But one day, a monster suddenly transformed into Shi Yichen's appearance, which left Frilian dumbfounded. Although Frilian knew it was just an illusion, she still felt a little sorry for it.
However, in the end, Frilian still managed to kill the monster. While killing the monster, Frilian also flattened several surrounding mountains.
Frillie wasn't angry! She just thought the mountains were in the way, so she simply leveled them.
I really didn't get angry.
"We'll leave the village first thing tomorrow morning."
Sitting on the bed, Frilian said to Shi Yichen and Philen, "I don't want to go through that again, attacking the person I love most."
"Lady Frilian, the villagers are in great distress!"
