Chapter 48: The Forest of Death
The freezing ice ball hit the ground with a dull thud, and a shallow pit covered with ice and frost appeared on the already uneven road in front of the house.

“You don’t know the forbidden laws in the city? Do you have any sense of public morality?!”

An old wizard who was passing by carrying a bucket of water was startled by the sudden noise and was about to come up to Ronan with a stern face to blame him.

As a result, when he felt the mental fluctuations emanating from Ronan, which belonged to a fifth-level apprentice, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly closed his mouth and walked away.

“Oh I forgot we are not in the forest now.”

Ronan also just remembered it, and patted his forehead with his hand. Then, with a look of annoyance and self-blame on his face, he walked up to dig out some broken ice from the hole created by the ice hockey technique to wipe his face and wash.

The main reason is that when I lived in the tree house area before, I was so lazy that I just used the ice hockey technique when I needed water. There was no need to carry buckets to the water point and queue up to get water.
Ronan chewed an ice cube and brushed his teeth while rinsing his mouth. He sighed to himself that living in the city was really troublesome, while thinking about what he had gained last night.

He had worn open one of the three waist bags for storage by nearly one third.

At this rate, it will be opened successfully the day after tomorrow at the latest.

This storage waist bag, which showed promising progress, was obtained during the first rescue of old Wells and his two companions.

The original owner was the weakest among the three black robes killed by Ronan. He died after only one energy missile was fired at him.

It is also because the original owner was the weakest, the storage waist bag he left behind was the lowest level, and the mental power mark left on the waist bag was the lowest strength, so it is the easiest to crack.
Ronan was thinking about this when he suddenly saw a small figure walking towards him.

Cheryl looked sleepy, as if she had just been pulled out of bed. Her hair was messy. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, while mumbling to Ronan: “Lord Ronan, Sister Winnie is calling you to come over for breakfast.”

Ronan perked up when he heard that. He had just moved into a new house and had nothing. He was worried about how to solve the breakfast problem.

“understood.”

Ronan immediately spat out the ice in his mouth and strode towards the residence of Venisia and others.

When he passed by Cheryl, who was drooping and yawning, he quietly put his hand that had just touched the ice cube on the back of her neck.
Watching Cheryl wake up from all sleepiness the next second and run out screaming, Ronan felt happy as he bathed in the morning light.

“It’s a new and beautiful day again.”

Breakfast was shared by all, and Mrs. Jolin and Venetia made delicious omelets and cream of mushroom soup.

After Ronan finished his breakfast, he quietly left a sum of magic stones as food expenses for the future, and then went back to his room.

three days later.

Ronan’s Cottage.

Along with a crisp sound like a lock being opened in his mind, the opening of the black waist bag in Ronan’s hand quietly opened.

Ronan’s face also showed a deep joy.

“Finally it’s done.”

Without rushing to check it out immediately, Ronan washed his face with cold water first to relieve the fatigue from three days of almost sleepless nights.

Then he carefully closed the curtains and picked up the waist bag again under the dim light of the oil lamp.

The mental power slowly seeped in, and a wonderful feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

Ronan “saw” a black space of about one cubic meter in size appearing in front of him, which was filled with all kinds of things.

He took out the things in his storage waist bag one by one.

After a moment, Ronan roughly divided the contents of his storage waist bag into three piles and placed them in front of himself.

A pile of worthless daily necessities, such as dirty clothes, smelly socks, unfinished food, clean water, nail clippers, and a silver ear spoon. Well, this black robe seems to be quite particular about personal hygiene.

There was a pile of valuable things, including: three intermediate magic stones, forty-two low-level magic stones, a bone magic ring, a black badge, several wizard books, and several bottles of potions whose specific effects were uncertain.

When his eyes fell on the pile of things, Ronan’s heart trembled slightly.

Get rich!

Although I had imagined many times in my mind how much wealth I could get from the storage waist bag before opening it, I couldn’t help but feel excited when it really happened as I expected.

This is the first time that Ronan has an intermediate magic stone.

It is slightly larger than the low-level magic stone, and is also black, but deeper. The energy particles deposited inside are also far beyond the low-level ones, like a gem of better quality.

“Three intermediate-level magic stones and forty-two low-level magic stones. Even if the price of the potion that directly improves mental strength soars, I can still afford it.”

Ronan held the three intermediate magic stones under the oil lamp, looked at them again and again, and then put them away carefully.

As for the rest, the magic ring was of intermediate level, only enchanted with a rune that Ronan did not recognize. Apart from that, Ronan vaguely felt that there seemed to be a group of condensed but lingering negative energy particles in the ring.

This seems a little incredible for a magical tool that has not yet been activated.

Ronan touched the ring curiously and doubtfully, and the next moment.
“Valenzuna! You bitch!”

A woman in a long dress with a pale face and a translucent body suddenly rushed out of the ring screaming, scaring Ronan so much that he trembled and his hair stood up.

The cold wind that suddenly blew up in the room blew out the oil lamp, and the woman in the long skirt hit the wall and disappeared.

A few seconds later, a woman’s scream and the sound of things being smashed came from the house next door.

Ronan hurriedly activated the magic ring, and the enchanted runes on the ring were activated, and an inexplicable suction force was emitted.

A moment later, the ghostly woman in the white dress emerged from the wall again, as if being dragged by something and sucked back into the ring. Before she disappeared, she kept cursing the name “Valenzuna”, as if she had a blood feud with the owner of the name.
“ghost?!”

Ronan lit the oil lamp again, feeling shocked and frightened.

A ghost is actually a combination of soul and energy particles that remain after a person dies. It usually does not have much wisdom, but is supported only by an obsession.

Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary intermediate magic ring actually contained a ghost!
Ronan subconsciously picked up the black badge next to the ring and looked at it carefully.

This kind of badge generally represents the identity and origin of the original owner.

One side of the badge was engraved with a black forest. Every tree in the forest looked like twisted and entangled limbs and bones, and countless growing bones were worshiping the blood moon above.

On the back, Ronan read out the cryptic and strange small words.

“Forest of Deathrattle…”

No wonder.
Ronan understood immediately.

Thinking about it carefully, the three black-robed men he encountered were indeed using some undead spells.

“It turns out that the black witch force that invaded Hoddam is called the Forest of Deathwhisper…”

Ronan didn’t dare touch the ring again, for fear that the unlucky wizard next door who had just been frightened would call the academy’s law enforcement team, so he simply packed up his things and prepared to leave the city.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a figure walking out quickly from next door carrying a lot of bags.

He was in a panic, walking in a hurry, and running towards the outside of the city without looking back. It seemed that he was planning to run away.

“.”
