The Adventure Of Lord Lausius

Episode 96's

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yaleya, yeah, yeah. Yaleaya, yes.

From the top of the hill, there was a melodious voice of a group of people who were singing. Jessica and Sean, who heard it, felt the song was very good to hear.

"You heard. This sound is so good to hear. Like a choir." Jessica said, this voice makes Jessica so comfortable when hearing it.

"I feel the same way as you do" Sean said. "So sweet is the consonant of these tones."

"But where did this sound come from?"

Sean thought so too. Sounds this beautiful, out of nowhere. "This sound is carried away by the wind. Looks like this sound came from behind that hill over there," guess Sean.

"We'd better see. Let's make sure" Jessica took the initiative.

Sean nodded. That voice really made it seem to be lulled into forgetting other things.

Sean went down the other side of the hill. On top of the high cliff, the melodious sound came from a village under the foot of this very green grassy cliff. The voice was very alluring, just a beautiful rhythmic song like this, capable of attracting those children to continue eavesdropping on these tones. They stand on top of this hill.

"Is that a village, Sean?" ask Jessica. He muttered in amazement, there is a village in the middle of this forest.

"Look at the shape, I think it's really a village" replied Sean. Sean's eyes clearly see it as a village, there are many residents who pass by.

From the top of the hill, everything is visible. There are a lot of people down and down there. There are sheep, there are cows, there are buffaloes being shepherded. And everything seems, not so modern.

"We should head to the village there. We'll just find Driyad there," Sean suggested. It's good to stop by there for a minute.

Jessica nodded, Sean thought a step faster than him. Actually Jessica was exhausted, it was just that she was holding it back. Suddenly Jessica became excited when there were people who could be met in this forest.

In the middle of that village. More precisely, in front of the entrance was more like a welcoming monument. It's like a gate. On the right and left side there is a bull-like animal head, complete with horns that are still intact. The horned heads adorned the entrance of the village. The skull was installed in such a way, so that the monuments look more fierce and creepy.

Then in the middle of that two-sided support pole, there was a head like a deer antler, but it was longer even classier than the other deer antlers. But it's just a carving of an animal head, not a real deer head. On top of the deer, alighted a large bird, like an eagle painted in gold.

It seems that the archway was built with a more advanced system. Sean was secretly amazed because in non—modern people it turns out to think a bit forward. They built a building that was quite strong.

Next to Sean and Jessica standing, there was a huge stone engraved forming an image. The large, round rock was covered by green grass and there was ice on its surface. Meanwhile, there was a big tree that covered the big rock.

Sean was interested to see it, as if there was an aura of its own that drew him to notice the sculpture. In the stone are engraved images that are not too good and not too ugly. But Sean appreciates the creator of the carving on this stone. On the surface of the stone is clearly depicted in the sculpture there is a unique image.

The image of the soldiers holding spears, there was a picture of a pregnant woman holding a sword. There are pictures of little girls wearing veils playing, but also carrying swords.

There are also other creatures. Some are attacking large creatures and sometimes, when Sean is paying attention to the details of each image, there are accidentally images ...... Mosarus.

Sean who saw it just felt, this is not an ordinary carved stone. But there's something in it. But, do not know what the meaning of the statues are. This place is very cold, there is ice covering the village. And, the people in this village were not visible, just now he saw clearly from the top of the hill if there were people going back and forth there.

Sean frowned, there was something in this village. There are mainly symbolic stories of all that stand out at the passage of the archway.

"Isn't that weird. We saw clearly that there are many people who go back and forth here. But why is it suddenly gone?"

Sean was really starting to doubt this place. Something else was felt by him. They are lost, really a mystery when they get a quiet village, even though Sean saw people here before.

"Is this perhaps a mirage?" Jessica says.

Sean shakes. "Eitherway. I'm confused too. How could this happen."

"It's terrible to enter this village" whispered Jessica. He had already felt the horror of this entrance. In Sean's ear he said, unable to read the situation and condition, Sean who felt this whisper was so goosebumps.

"Huh, forget it," Sean flicked his hand at Jessica. Then it stood normal after seeing the huge stone carving.

Sean stepped into the door, at first glance not the gate. Only the entrance without a wooden door inside. The road that passes, carved in such a way from dark gray granite stones. Not knowing how they arranged the stones until neatly met each other. Clearly, the surface of the stone was smooth, as sanded by modern tools.

Wooden houses stand along this path. Because of the cold weather, Sean thought, using wood was the right idea. This can help warm the body from the onslaught of snowstorms.

Sean glanced at the entire houses. No one saw any signs of life. While the day began to darken and a stormy wind appeared just as they wanted to walk down this village.

"Hallou. Is anyone here?" Jessica started her voice. All they saw was an empty house. But, the lights are on. There were lights on, but there was no way of who turned them on. "Do you feel anything strange here, Sean?" Jessica looked at the child who seemed to be thinking hard.

"I feel something unusual here" Sean replied. From earlier he noticed, but had not found the irregularities of the buildings before sunset. After dark days, why did everything turn gripping. "It seems, from the top of the hill, we don't see the villagers."

"Huh? What are you saying, Sean?" Jessica was surprised. How could it not be the villagers he saw. "You don't brag with jokes when you!"

"I'm not bragging about my silly idea" Sean replies. "I said right. We didn't see any villagers here this afternoon."

"If not the villagers we saw, then who?" Jessica wants to know. "What a bunch of monkeys. Or did we see wrong?"

"I made sure of it first" Sean said a little worriedly.

Sean's massaging his chin. Walk step by step. Pay attention again to the details of the wooden buildings that are looking worn. The lights hanging on the porch of the house swayed to and fro following the wind. This ice storm almost swept this place, although lucky not to ravage this strange village.

Sean's attention is very detailed, actually Sean felt this oddity since he saw the stone carving in front there earlier. But that's just a guess, Sean hasn't been able to draw conclusions.

***In the stone is clearly engraved there is an image on the side of a symbol. And strangely enough, of all the pictures. Why do they carry swords and so on while on the move.

There is a picture of Mosarus. There are bull heads and deer head carvings. There were children playing, also carrying swords. After that there are pictures of other creatures that I have never met before.

If in conclusion, it could be the people here are—***

Oh, Sean knows what he's thinking. During that thought, the mystery finally unfolded. Sean is starting to understand this place. Dan— symbol on the surface of the stone was a clue. Sean understood what this meant.

"Ah, I found him," Sean snapped his finger. His face that had just now revealed a serious expression, now changed as if he was bringing a solution.

"What did you find Sean?" Jessica replied, whining for an explanation. "Tell me," he said forcefully.

"simple?" Jessica was really confused, actually what Sean meant. "Simple as what did you say Sean?"

"HM..." Sean exhaled, from the gust came smoke a sign that the weather was getting very cold. "The people we saw from the top of the hill were, in fact, spirits of the dead."

"Huh, the spirits of the dead?" Jessica this time was shocked, mixed with goosebumps. He who was a few meters away from Sean, preferred to approach the boy. "You're not kidding me, are you, Sean?"

Sean shakes. "No. I'm being honest," he said. Sean then remembered the first time he entered this village. More precisely in front of the big rock earlier. As Sean rubbed his hand on the ice-covered carving, it was like someone was holding his hand. "I'm sure. What we see is really spirit."

"Come on Sean, don't scare me," Jessica whined again at Sean. He's got Sean's shoulder, he's not letting go of it.

"If I'm not wrong. Actually this village is called a dead village," Sean guessed. "People here have been killed by beasts. Where the men of this village are all soldiers assigned here."

"For what do the beasts kill the villagers? Isn't it too awkward to kill villagers?"

"No," Sean said to what he was up to. "Actually, mass murder here, caused by the presence of magical power in this place. Don't know what, but... You can feel the killing aura here."

"Hm," Jessica who heard Sean's explanation, was actually not too afraid. There was Sean by his side, the boy would help him if in distress. "How do you know about all this, Sean?"

"Easy," replied Sean. "The pictures on the surface of the big rock there was enough to prove that the villagers were really dead because of the beast."

"How do you guess?"

"From the image of the sword they carved?"

"It's that simple you conclude?" Jessica is not sure. Even though Sean is a genius, he may have made a mistake. Maybe Sean predicted wrongly. "Let's examine it properly. Maybe you just misjudged."

"I'm sure I didn't guess wrong" Sean argued. He believed his argument. He knew the mystery was actually leading them somewhere. "How about we go down this place. I'm still curious about a mysterious place like this" Sean suggested his idea. "It is better to prove the truth than to die in curiosity."

Jessica wanted to admit that, in fact, she did not dare to go any further into this place. But Sean can't be denied. Sean's curiosity is very high, Jessica has no choice but to obey.

Sean saw, not far from the village there was an empty house at the end of the road. Next to him was a hill uphill, and Sean looked around the hill, which looked like a forest.

Sean was interested there, there was something interesting from behind the uphill road. Sean followed the path that led into the forest. The hill was very cold, far from the village.

Just as Sean was following the path, there was another house there. On top of the hill, an almost weathered wooden house stood. It does not look like a hill, more clearly, like a high mound of land from the village land.

The wooden house was at the very end but not far from the village. Next to it there is a path, probably there is still a house not far from it.

"This building is obsolete. I'm sure this place was abandoned years ago" Sean kept guessing.

Sean wanted to open the door of the rotten wooden house, the door was blocked. Sean glanced around the door, there was a small wooden block that stuck out as a barrier. As Sean pulled it, the door suddenly opened on its own.

Kriek!!! Ah, just from her voice Jessica got more goosebumps. This place is very quiet, there is no sound here, except, just a quiet place.

"Do you want to go inside?"

"Of course" nodded Sean. Jessica pulled her shirt, the kid in this situation is still tightening. "No need to worry, we'll be fine" Sean said. He knew the boy was worried about him.

Whatever Jessica's power, she's incapable of resisting Sean's will. Therefore, he preferred to follow Sean.

Sean looked around the corners of the house. It turned out that inside the house was spacious. Inversely what is outside. Even the floor in this house alone is installed from beautiful carved ceramics.

Sean took a look, there are four pillars within this house. At the end of the four pillars, there was a small table and on it was a lighted candle.

As Sean looked around, Jessica suddenly shouted.

"There's Sean's body, there's a body!" the girl pointed towards the floor. Jumping around, closing her eyes in fear.

"Calm down, it's just a corpse" Sean said casually. Sean squinted his eyes, the scavenging little insect shrouding the rotting corpse. The flies numbered in the hundreds, circling the rotting corpse. "It looks like the body just died a few days ago."

"As much as she dies when, I hate to see her," Jessica felt nauseous. He was very sorry to see the dead body.

Sean took Jessica back slowly. This place is haunted, Sean is not able to study any further. Sean's legs were walking backwards, accidentally kicking a small wooden box. It was like an egg storage box that contained a haystack.

KRATAK!! The voice invited him to open the box. As the box opened, suddenly the dark room became somewhat luminous.

Of the four pillars of the house that were fused with that wall, it was more like a passageway. There were four large-bodied men floating in the air. They're not human, but.....

"Who are you?" ask Sean.

They are shadows, they look clearly like big-bodied men wearing armor or armor and there is a head covering as a protector. There are also those who are seen holding spears.

"We are spirits who are one with nature. Our deaths are very miserable. Leave this temple if you want to survive, run north if you want to live," the four shadows said in a similar manner.

Sean was confused, what did they mean.

"What do they mean, Sean?" ask Jessica.

Sean shrugged both of his shoulders. "Eitherway. I don't get it."

The dead will become nature. If you want to survive, leave this place. Go North, you will find salvation there.

The shadow that came out from behind the pillar as the pillar of the house, said repeating the same words.

Sean was confused as to what they were saying. It was as if the words contained a clue. To the North, it sounded like telling.

After saying, the four shadows then disappeared behind the four pillars filled by the four spirits. Their orders left the place Sean thought was this house, in fact a temple. Yes, this temple must be abandoned, Sean quickly left the temple containing the corpse.
