The Benefits of the Ancestors - Zhu Xie Nai III Chapter 12 The Crazy Dwarf
Sophia wanted to go to the hills to have a look, even though they came from the direction of the hills.
"Why don't you go to our outpost and learn about the evil things from there?" Ryan asked Alice after hearing Sophia's decision.
"That's alright. Shall we leave now? Didn't you leave the weapons in the smelting room? What if we encounter danger?" Alice asked.
"Well, this is a problem. I'll go nearby and see if there are any shops or other places here." I went to bed at night in a hurry when I first came here. After waking up the next day to strengthen the weapons, Ryan decided to check it out.
Look at which of the houses in the village are shops and which are special places.
Although there are of course a few shops in the village, they all sell necessities for daily life. "The absence of the Holy Flame does not have a big impact on me, but as a warrior, Ryan has no weapons, which is a problem." Sophia thought.
After thinking for a while, "Let's get some information from the tribe first."
Alice walked around the tribe and asked the residents for information.
Sophia also gave up her original idea. She walked around the tribe and asked if there were any changes near the tribe, or if anything had happened recently.
Ryan had no choice but to do this, and the three of them acted separately, but none of them achieved anything special.
But at the end of the wandering around, Sophia learned one thing, that is, the dwarf who first discovered the evil object had just woken up from a coma. He was currently very mentally unstable and was undergoing isolation and treatment. At about nine o'clock, the four of them reunited.
The isolation room is on the southern edge of the tribe, very close to the hilly post. "How about we visit the dwarf who discovered the evil thing? Maybe we can get some information about the evil thing?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, that's fine." Sophia thought the same way before telling the other three people.
"Although we can't expect to get much information, it's better than nothing," Noel said.
"I think this dwarf should have information, I hope it can be put to use, and I hope he can reply quickly." Ryan walked at the end, and went to visit the awakened dwarf with his teammates.
The four of them found a makeshift isolation room. The dwarf guarding the room asked for instructions, so they had to wait here for a while.
While waiting, Sophia tried to feel the breath of this isolation room for her. After all, she had also experienced it in the ruins and felt the breath of the evil god. Then her consciousness jumped into a gorgeous space channel in an instant.
After the passage is a time and space shining with countless stars, and countless independent consciousnesses exist in this space in the form of spiritual bodies. Sophia feels extremely tired and has difficulty controlling the behavior of her spiritual body. There are bright purple suspended stones within reach around her.
and other humanoid spirits and a ribbon of colored light attracted her.
Sophia involuntarily approached the colorful light strip, and then she felt drowsy for a while. Finally, after a brief dizziness, Sophia's consciousness returned to reality with a splitting headache.
"Hmm..." The familiar pain rushed into her head. Sophia frowned and adjusted her breathing to minimize the pain.
"Well, Sophia, did you find anything?" Ryan was the first to notice the pain on Sophia's face.
"Huh..." Sophia adjusted, rubbed her temples, and gradually got used to the residual pain in her head. After hearing Ryan's question, she slowly shook her head. "If you say you have discovered it, you probably have it, but I haven't yet.
Thinking of the connection with our destination."
"I just sensed the breath of that room, and then my consciousness arrived at a place. It seemed that I was in a time and space with countless starlights. I saw many independent consciousnesses existing in spiritual bodies there, but I was not able to detect any of them.
Situation. I just saw bright purple suspended stones and other humanoid spiritual bodies and a colored light belt that attracted me, but I could only touch one of the remaining ones. I don’t know why, but I subconsciously touched that colored light belt.
.”
"Sounds scary, are you okay?" Noel frowned.
"That sounds scary, are you okay?" Alice read again.
"I'm a little mentally damaged, but I'm still used to it." Sophia waved her hand. After all, she had tried this feeling at the ruins two years ago, and had experienced similar feelings when she tried her own spells before.
"Well..." Alice has never had this kind of experience, nor does she want to have it.
"So I saw you frowning just now. Were you hurt by this aura?" Ryan asked.
"Yes, there is a slight mental or soul damage, but I feel that part of the damage can be recovered naturally. According to my experience, it takes about four days to recover that part." Sophia actually cares about the part that is permanently lost.
, but if you give up, you will gain. She now understands a new fifth-level spell out of thin air, and it is not a mage spell. "But it won't have much impact, don't worry."
"It won't have much impact? That's good." Alice was still a little afraid of encountering this kind of thing.
"Is it just the lingering aura to this extent..." Noel pondered for a moment.
"Things are indeed not simple. There is a very powerful evil force in this ruins." Ryan said.
"Well, I'm not sure yet what the nature of this breath is. After all, this time it doesn't just hurt my soul like before. Instead, I get a new spell from it, but it still takes some time to master it."
"In this case, let's wait for permission first." Ryan didn't know what to say.
"Yeah, I think so too." Noel nodded, said nothing, and waited quietly for the guard to return.
Sophia leaned on her Alpha Staff, which she had not used for a long time, looked at the isolation room, and waited quietly. [Is the range of influence so far? It seems that the residual influence is also very large. 】
A quarter of an hour later, the four of them had the opportunity to visit together, accompanied by guards.
There was another door into the isolation room. Two guards in front of the door, who looked very sad, opened the door. The previous guard and one of the two accompanied the four people into the room where the dwarf was staying.
The dwarf's eyes were bloodshot, and he lay expressionless on the stone bed covered with animal skins, mumbling something unknown. The four of them felt uncomfortable all over.
[Is this also the influence of an evil thing? It’s really scary.] Alice followed her teammates and listened carefully to what the dwarf said. But she soon found that she couldn’t understand it at all.
[Can such a small distance have such an influence? Although it is not very big, it is still very dangerous information. It is not clear whether this influence is contagious...] Sophia carefully observed the dwarf's face
Sofia looked at Noel.
Noel frowned, and after a while, he shook his head and said that he didn't understand either.
Seeing this, Sophia forcibly wrote down the repetitive content muttered by the dwarf. These murmurs caused some damage to her mind and she started to have nosebleeds. "Well...even if I don't understand the meaning, I can just remember it."
Does it hurt me?"
Seeing Sophia suddenly starting to have a nosebleed, Noel was confused. [Is there such a thing?]
Sophia wiped away the nosebleed, shook her head, and planned to find time to study the meaning of this passage with the book and Noel.
Ryan asked the guard next to him. "I have a spell called Awakening Spirituality. I can understand the experience of this seriously injured dwarf to a certain extent. Can I use it? Or other items he carries with him can also be used." This dwarf.
Only one bracelet seemed to be worn close to the body, and the clothes had been replaced with new ones.
Although most dwarves don't like magicians, at least here, the guard did not stop Ryan. He reached out and touched the bracelet to release the awakening spirit.
As a result, Ryan immediately saw three greasy tentacles covered with star spots protruding from the bracelet. Those tentacles wrapped around his neck, and he could also hear a bitter sigh.
Then Ryan lost control of his body and couldn't move his eyes. After sighing, some dark elements in the corners and shadows of the room condensed and condensed into an elemental elf to show him some of the crazy experiences this person had experienced.
These pictures were blurry, and Ryan's eyes felt a slight sting while watching them. These pictures showed some dwarf skeletons covered in black bone spurs and armor chasing the dwarf. This process was very long.
When these contents were repeated almost ten times, Ryan noticed from the corner of his eye that his companions were all looking at him worriedly. Moreover, he maintained a posture for a long time, causing his neck to be very sore, and there were some tentacles everywhere...
Ryan touched his forehead with his hand, then pinched the back of his neck and let out a long breath.
"Are you okay, Ryan? Did you find anything?" Alice was worried, but she was mainly worried about herself.
"What's wrong? It seems that you have discovered something." Sophia felt that the problem was not big.
"It seems like you saw something." Noel observed very carefully.
"Well... just now, I seemed to have experienced a very long time. I saw three tentacles wrapped around my neck, but fortunately there was no further attack. Then I finally knew what this dwarf had experienced.
, it should be some dwarf skeletons covered with black bone spurs and armor chasing him, which is why he is like this. Also, I have memorized the map, it should be the ruins of this place."
"That's great." Wasn't Sofia the same last time? The two guards looked at each other and told the four of them that this dwarf was the only one who escaped from the ruins where the ancestral stone sculptures were stored.
We already know what's going on, and we can confirm that the map Ryan obtained should be the map of the Evil God's ruins.
"It seems that the ruins may have been completely contaminated." Noel spoke first.
"Black bone spur armor, do you know anything about this?" Sophia asked the guards, but the two guards shook their heads.
"It feels like some kind of unclean creature," Ryan said.
"Is it an unclean creature? We may need some holy water or something like that?" Alice remembered that Sophia said before that she didn't bring much holy water.
"It's probably needed." But Ryan still had magic oil in his hand, which was barely enough.
"I still have some reserves of holy water and other things, but can I replenish them here?"
Sophia observed the dwarf to see if he had any traces of being affected by other forces. After thinking about it, she used the detection poison on the dwarf, but there was no reaction.
"It seems that we can't find any more clues, so let him have a good rest." Noel suggested that we should withdraw.
"Let's go." Sophia could only nod.
"Yeah." Ryan said, preparing to turn around and leave with his partner.
"Okay, I'm sorry to disturb you. Please have a good rest." Alice apologized to the unconscious dwarf, and then left with her companions.
"Sorry for bothering you, brother." Finally, Noel thanked the guard in Dwarf language and turned to leave.
"Thank you for letting us come in to check on him." Sofia also thanked the guards, and then the two guards said that this was what they should do. Finally, the four of them left the room together with the guards.
