Shade tried to pick up the black metal scale for inspection, but the boy who had not dared to speak now supported Mrs. Miles and said carefully:
"Maybe you can determine the direction by looking at the heights on the left and right sides... like a compass."
The boy is right. The balance is not in a balanced state. When you hold it and rotate it in place, the left end of the balance is always pressed down, and when the left end points in different directions, the amount of pressure is also different.
So Shade turned around and found the direction with the lowest pressure on the scale. It pointed to the left front, so everyone held torches and walked dozens of steps forward along the path between the stalls, allowing the group to completely enter the darkness.
Between the fog camps. During this period, the witch let the scale float from Shade's hand and let it spin slowly and evenly to help everyone adjust the direction better.
Therefore, after only walking a few dozen steps, they confirmed that the position pointed by the scale was deeper into the camp and not to the left hand side of the road ahead.
"Mrs. Miles, can you still hold on?"
Once deep into the camp, it will take longer to come out, and the depression and cold deep in the camp will make people even more confused. Therefore, Miss Higgins asked her employer in advance. Although the latter was tired, he still nodded
head:
"no problem."
The boy Andorra Adé was a little bolder. He continued to help the old woman consciously. Although no one asked him, he nodded tremblingly.
But at a glance, just as far as the field of vision can be seen, the path at the entrance of the camp is narrowing. The stalls will become more dense in the depths of the camp, and based on the experience just now, once it is determined that someone wants to buy goods,
I'm afraid I can't leave without paying the price.
So Shade and the witch discussed it, and finally decided that the four of them would march in a vertical row, with each person putting their hand without a torch on the shoulder of the person in front of them. The witch Leah Higgins and the balance walked in the front.
, behind her is the old Sarah Miles, then Shade, and finally the boy Andorle Ade.
"You are not placed at the end because as long as we do not violate the rules, the possibility of being attacked is very low, so there is no need for you to be at the end to guard the end of the team. On the contrary, if you walk in the middle, you can take into account the things in front and behind at the same time.
."
The witch explained this to Shade, but everyone could see that she was deliberately trying to protect the safety of Granny Miles.
Shade had no objection to this arrangement. He would protect everyone if possible. And probably because she was not at ease with Shade, the young witch also made a promise to Shade:
"If we still have coins left after Grandma Miles' transaction is completed, all of those coins will be yours."
Shade still had no objection, but he didn't think he had a chance to use those coins. Judging from previous experience, if he couldn't find the god, neither the boy nor Mrs. Miles would be able to complete their transaction.
The best thing to do now is to find a way to get all the coins, and then use the coins to find possible gods. After finding the gods, help everyone fulfill their wishes through transactions with the gods.
But obviously the witch couldn't hand over all the coins easily, and Shade never thought that his first conflict with the witch of the fifth era would happen here. Anyway, this was only the first time he used this key, and he was willing to wait.
First, try your best to familiarize yourself with the rules of this camp, and then make plans.
So the four of them put their hands on the shoulders of the first person in turn, and then moved forward silently in the camp shrouded in black mist. Shade could feel the old woman in front of him and the boy behind him trembling, but who
He didn't want to give up because of this. It was hard to tell whether the behavior of the four of them was more bizarre at this time, or whether the completely motionless black shadows in the camp were more terrifying.
After entering the camp, the paths between the stalls became increasingly narrow and rugged, until only one person could move forward without touching the surroundings. Most of the stalls here were equipped with three items.
, one item was exposed and the other two items were covered by the black fog. However, there were also some stalls where the number of products was far above the average.
Moreover, the name here is "Black Mist Camp" rather than "Black Mist Market", so in addition to vendors selling goods, there are also some shadowy figures doing other things.
When the torch in the hands of Miss Higgins, the leader, illuminated the dark figure standing on the rotten wooden bench, maintaining the action of "raising her head and swallowing the sword into her mouth", the originally motionless black figure actually became
He pulled the long sword out of his mouth, then swallowed it into his mouth again, and then took it out again, repeating the process.
Miss Higgins obviously paused, and then continued to move forward as if she hadn't seen this strange scene. Shade thought something would happen, but she didn't expect that she actually passed it smoothly, and then Granny Miles also
This strange black shadow was not touched. But when it was Shade's turn, the black shadow's continuous movement of swallowing the sword suddenly stopped.
Everyone wisely did not choose to leave quickly, but also stopped. Shade and the Witch stood in front of Mrs. Miles and the boy Andor Ade.
The black shadow's hand holding the black mist sword dropped, and then jumped down from the rickety bench. It pointed at Shade with its other hand, and then pointed at the boy behind Shade.
While everyone was confused and nervous, it pulled out a tattered blood-brown cloth bag from behind the bench. After shaking it a few times, the sound of the contents of the bag colliding with each other was heard in the silent camp in the black fog.
It rang.
The black shadow pointed at Shade and the boy again, then pulled open the bag's drawstring, opened a small opening and pointed it at Shade.
Of course it wasn't trying to suck Shade into its pocket, but it just stayed motionless.
Although the group of four people had some guesses about the intention of its actions, they still couldn't believe it:
"Is it going to give you a gift?"
The witch's body was trembling slightly, and the light of the torch illuminated her pale face. She endured the fear and whispered to the strange man beside her:
"But that's not right. Even if the magician in the camp wants to give gifts to others, why would he only give them to men? I would understand if it was only given to children."
When she said this, Shade understood. He was probably judged as a "child" again.
The boy hid behind Shade and did not dare to reach out. Shade stared at the pocket and suddenly took a step to the side away from everyone.
Immediately, everyone heard the sound of chains clattering in the black mist. As expected, those blood-stained dark chains appeared from the mist again, but this time the chains were no longer filled with [Greed].
Chains are the language runes of different eras [suicide].
Shade hurriedly returned to his original position, and after confirming that the chain had retreated into the black mist, he put his hand into the pocket. This was completely different from touching the [God's Gift Box], and an extremely cold feeling ran down his right hand.
It spread all over Sha De's body, causing him to tremble firmly. If the first fire hadn't still been burning in his body, he doubted that he would even be able to hold on for five seconds.
There is far more than one thing in the pocket, and the tentacles are the amazing whispering elements and chaotic spirits. Shade originally wanted "her" to help see what is the most valuable, but before asking, an instinct came from
The attraction has allowed him to get in touch with what he wants. It's not Shade who chooses the gift, it's the gift that chooses him:
"What's this?"
Without hesitation, he took out the cold metal piece he touched.
It was a small black metal cube, with a deep color that was very similar to the black scale. The six sides of the cube were all engraved with the "Greed" rune, and as Shade watched, the metal actually melted.
He couldn't even shake it out of his hands.
【Foreigner, your sin of "greed" has increased.】
[Your thaumaturgy - Chains of Sin has been affected, please wait...Thaumatology has been improved, and you can manifest two chains at the same time. 】
Amidst the clattering sound, the [Sin Chains] were protruded from the left and right sleeves at the same time. They originally looked like metal that could absorb light, but now under the light of the torch, the metal texture became deeper and colder. Just now, Shade and those numerous
When the "Greed" chains were fighting, he realized that he might also be able to increase the number of "Chains of Sin". Unexpectedly, before he could do anything on his own initiative, this key thaumaturgy was actually improved.
For the non-aggressive "Sin Chain", the most important thing in exerting the imprisonment effect is actually how to catch the opponent, and the increase in the number will bring immeasurable improvement.
"But, is there something wrong with the God of Wealth... greed?"
No one else said anything to Shade, not even the witch expressed an opinion.
"Next is you, don't keep your hands in the bag for too long, no more than a second."
Shade said to the boy behind him that the boy was just an ordinary person and he was worried that he would be too affected.
So the boy tremblingly put his hand into the pocket. Almost in the next second, he pulled out his hand that was covered with frost, and there was a small dagger with a scabbard in his hand. The scabbard
Both the blade and the handle were decorated with black gems. Because of the cold, the metal had even stuck to his skin. It was only after Shade cast a spell that he recovered.
This item is also a relic, or a derivative of a relic. It is of course dangerous to put it on a boy, but when Shade suggested that he or the witch should keep the dagger temporarily, there was another clattering sound around him.
"I don't want it anymore, just put your chains away."
After giving gifts to the two "children", the black shadow climbed on the bench again and continued his magic show. From this, the group learned more about the rules of this camp. In addition to vendors, there are other black shadows.
Here, whether encountering them is a blessing or a curse depends on them.
