"What happened just now? Where are those web weavers?" Seeing Leo return to normal from that dull state, Su, who had been observing from the sidelines, finally couldn't help his strong curiosity and asked impatiently.
"They have left." Leo responded very simply.
Su knew very well that Leo didn't tell the truth, which made her very unhappy. If she had followed her previous personality, she might have taken down Leo directly now, and then used other means to dig out all of Leo's secrets.
But now she has more important things to do, and a conflict with Leo will only affect her business, not to mention Leo's strength makes her somewhat unpredictable.
When she first met Leo, she was absolutely sure of taking him down. But within a few days, she felt that she might need to pay some price to take down Leo. But now, or just now, the web weaver
After revealing her true form and possessing Leo's body, she felt that it would be difficult for her to take down Leo because she could no longer see through the opponent's strength.
Just like what she often said to the sisters of the witch group in the past, the only criterion for equal dialogue is one's own strength. The weak are not qualified for equal dialogue, but now the unknown wizard in front of her, whose name she has not yet figured out, already has it.
Qualifications to talk to her on an equal footing.
Although she had lost another opportunity to obtain the secret of death from the web-spinner, Su had gotten used to it and didn't care too much about it. On the contrary, it was Leo's strength that made her realize that she had a powerful helper.
It will at least double the success rate of that matter.
Thinking of this, Su couldn't help but start to think about how to involve Leo in what she wanted to do. Although she had already given away a incomplete notebook of a high tower combat wizard before, what she wanted to do was too dangerous.
It was too crazy, and even she herself did not believe that the value of a incomplete wizard's notebook could be equal to it, so she began to consider other conditions that could be used as a deal.
However, just when Su started to consider letting Leo really participate in his affairs instead of just using Leo as bait, Leo suddenly asked: "Can you tell me why you are so concerned about this escape team?"
Team? What is it that you want me to assist with? I hope to be prepared in advance, so that if something happens suddenly and I don't react, I will miss your mission."
Hearing that Leo was so actively involved in his affairs, Su was not happy, but rather a little suspicious. He looked at Leo with a slightly wary look and asked, "Why? Why are you suddenly acting like this about my affairs?"
positive?"
Leo briefly explained and said, "I want to know if your affairs overlap with those of the Web Weaver. Maybe I can help you complete what you want to do in advance." As he said that, he suddenly stepped out of the cave.
, relying on the power of gluttony to resist the invisible pressure from the surroundings, while adapting to the mountain path on the edge of the mountain wall, he said to Su: "The escape team has gone a long way, let's talk while walking!"
Su walked to the edge of the cave, but did not go out immediately. Instead, she frowned and looked at Leo who was walking away, hesitating whether she should follow him. Although because of the power of the witch, she could not feel the feeling that Leo mentioned.
The strong pressure brought by the power, but she will still be affected by that invisible force, making her witch power unable to be displayed in this environment.
Even though she still has physical strength after losing her witch power, and she still has many years of accumulated combat experience, which is enough to cope with most dangers, but in the face of some possible supernatural forces, she can only be passively beaten after losing her witch power.
, which made her, who was used to always being in a favorable position, feel inexplicably uneasy.
However, the negative emotions in his heart did not affect Su for too long. As Leo gradually moved away, Su finally let go of his uneasiness and walked out of the cave. However, while walking out of the cave, she
She also took out two daggers with mysterious runes and a special firearm from her shadow world, and wore them on her body so that she would still have the ability to fight back if something unexpected happened.
"First tell me why the web spinner pays special attention to this escape team." Su quickly followed Leo's footsteps, even on a narrow mountain road, he had to walk side by side with him, and then demanded.
Leo did not hide anything. He told the truth as to why the Web Weaver paid attention to this escape team. He only slightly hid some secrets about the Web Weaver, such as the web of souls.
After hearing this, Su's face became extremely serious. She did not immediately tell her why she was paying attention to the escape team. Instead, she fell into deep thought. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked: "You mean in the French Empire?"
Before crossing the Black Forest and attacking Miria City, there was an unknown being in the Black Forest who started planning this escape team?"
"Not bad!" Leo nodded, and then asked: "Did you think of anything useful?"
"I did think of something," Su nodded and admitted Leo's guess, and then said: "You were right just now. The reason why the web spinner paid attention to this escape team partly overlaps with my purpose, so give it to me.
Provided a lot of useful information.”
"Can I tell you?" Leo asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, it can be said that we should be considered collaborators now." Su felt Leo's sincerity, so he relaxed his vigilance slightly and said, "My purpose is to capture the last Mist, a member of the God of Night."
Leo was about to wait for Su to say what was next, but found that Su had already closed his mouth, so he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Is this the end?"
"Isn't this enough?" Su pretended to be confused and asked back. But from the smile that appeared in her eyes, it was not difficult to see that she was probably seeking revenge for the minor setbacks she had suffered from Leo before.
Leo countered indifferently: "If you think what you want to do is so casual, I don't care. Anyway, it's not me who suffers the loss if it fails."
"What a boring guy!" Obviously Leo's counterattack was very effective. Su curled his lips and muttered, then got back to the topic and asked, "How much do you know about the Black Forest?"
Leo thought for a moment and said: "I know that the Black Forest is a sanctuary where there are ancient gods, mythical creatures and dependents of the disappeared gods that have disappeared from the world. There should be some restrictions that prevent them from leaving the Black Forest. However,
This time, Emperor Louis X of the French Empire seems to have signed a contract with certain things in the Black Forest, allowing these things to leave the Black Forest and hunt intruding humans in places like the Dibia Mountains."
Su nodded while listening, and said: "It's pretty good that you know so much. At least it's better than those idiots in the Orthodox Church. You made a mistake. The objects restricted by the Black Forest do not include the ancient gods.
Because the Black Forest was created by the Ancient God, the lost family members and mythical creatures who took refuge in the Black Forest all signed contracts with the Ancient God. While receiving the protection of the Black Forest, they cannot leave the Black Forest."
"Lost Familia?" Leo suddenly heard a new term in Gugamore language from Su's mouth.
Su carefully avoided a snow trap in front of the road, moved closer to the mountain wall, and then explained: "You should know that the dependents are all created by the gods, but when the gods disappear, the dependents of that god will be lost.
They rely on them to become the Lost Familia. Most of these Familia will completely turn into monsters with no thoughts and only instincts due to out-of-control power. A few can still barely remain rational and reproduce their offspring..."
When she said this, Su stopped. She looked nervously at the abyss where she couldn't see the bottom. Her face became a little uglier. She couldn't help leaning against the mountain wall, and she no longer even followed her own instructions.
The arrogant character walked parallel to Leo, but was slightly behind Leo. He stepped on the snow that Leo had walked and continued to move forward.
In this regard, Leo didn't say anything. He could feel Su's fear and nervousness about the abyss next to him, because he felt the same way, but he had the will of a ninth-level psyker and could not handle this inexplicable pressure from the depths of the abyss.
She has extremely strong resistance, which is not comparable to Su. In fact, he admires Su, a tall woman, for her way of dealing with things. Although she has an arrogant personality, she will not be swayed by her own arrogance and knows when to let go.
Being arrogant and doing the right thing is stronger than most people.
After adjusting his mentality and way of traveling, Su returned his attention to the previously interrupted conversation and continued: "The vast majority of the Lost Familiars live in two places. One is the endless forests and wastelands in the south of Moissan Continent.
Among them, most of the Lost Familia living there are mainly low-level Familia. The other place is the Black Forest. In ancient times, high-level Familia with the title of demigod mostly chose to live in the Black Forest."
Leo asked: "Is your target, the family member of the God of Darkness named Mist, a demigod?"
"Yes, at least it was in the past." Su nodded, as if he didn't want to mention too much about Mist. He changed the topic slightly and said, "I have known about Mist's existence a long time ago.
I have been paying attention to his whereabouts, but he is too cunning. No matter what method I use, I can't make him leave the Black Forest. However, not long ago, I felt that he actually left the Black Forest and entered Di.
Mia Mountains. I thought this was an illusion, so I found a sister with astrology ability to calculate the whereabouts of Mist. I found that it was not an illusion, and I also knew that Mist’s goal was an army trying to cross Dibia.
Escape team from Miria City in the mountains."
While Su was speaking, the two of them had already turned the corner of a cliff. At this time, the escape team that had disappeared from their sight reappeared in front of them. Because those people were not moving very fast, they
I also had to slow down.
Su raised his finger and pointed at the looming escape team in the clouds and mist in front of him, and said: "I have been in the Dibia Mountains for more than twenty days, and I have seen several escape teams like this trying to cross the Dibia Mountains.
, those teams either died under attacks by wild beasts in the mountains, or got lost in the mountains and froze to death. Only this team was targeted by those guys coming out of the Black Forest not long after setting off, so I doubt Mist’s goal.
It’s this escape team, and the incident you mentioned just now makes me even more certain that this escape team is the escape team I’m looking for.”
Su's words also reminded Leo of the reason why the web spinner paid attention to this escape team, so he asked with a little curiosity: "Do you know why the Black Forest Familia such as Mist would plan such an escape team?"
"Of course I know." Su smiled disdainfully and said, "They just want to reproduce the tribe. Although the Black Forest has given them shelter, it cannot allow their tribe to reproduce. Without the addition of new blood, they will not be able to survive."
They will gradually degenerate into beast-like existences, so they need to capture people who can bear their bloodline to reproduce the tribe." After saying that, she paused again and said: "But Mister's purpose is somewhat different."
Su just mentioned something about the Mysters, the followers of the God of Darkness, and stopped without continuing.
Leo did not continue to ask about this, because he felt that Mister's purpose might also overlap with Su's purpose in some ways, and it was not convenient for Su to tell him.
Leo changed the subject and asked: "The person you want to deal with is Mist, so how do we draw him out?"
Su stared forward and said, "No need to lure him, he should be in the escape team now."
"In the escape team?" Leo was stunned, and quickly thought of something, and said: "Did he do the missing people in the camp?"
"Yes." Su nodded.
Leo's steps became a little heavier, and his brows frowned slightly. With rich combat experience, he knew that enemies standing in the open would not be afraid as long as there was not an insurmountable gap in power, but hiding
No matter how weak the enemy is in the dark, they are extremely dangerous.
Now this enemy hiding in the dark not only has the mysterious ability to evade any search force, but his own strength is probably not much worse than Su behind him. This kind of enemy is the most troublesome enemy, and it is also the enemy that Leo least needs.
An enemy you are willing to face.
"That's not right!" Just when Leo was thinking about how to help Su deal with this last dependent of the God of Darkness, he suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice: "No, if he is a dependent, there is no way he can walk into this place.
In the abyss of the mountains, otherwise, he would be like a web weaver, unable to move even the moment he entered here."
Su also didn't expect that the mysterious power of this place would be so powerful. This also made her curious about this place, and she also had the idea in her mind that she must explore this place carefully if she had the opportunity, and it would be best to find out the source of this power.
After his thoughts wandered a little, Su quickly adjusted his attention back and explained: "Although Mist is the last dependent of the God of Darkness, strictly speaking, he is not a real dependent.
