The young priest Xia Bron and the warrior Jacks originally set out from the hills in the north of Wind's Breath Town and continued to move north.
The two strangers walked straight through the woods, covered with woven rain curtains.
But the scene ahead is the southern part of Fengxi Town!
The space that was supposed to extend infinitely seemed to form a closed loop. They kept walking north but ended up in the south, making it impossible for them to stay away from this small town.
Raindrops fall.
"I've walked through these woods before, but things were different then."
The man said that his expression was much more serious than before, but there was no fear at all.
Chabron thought of the bad possibilities:
Perhaps starting from a certain point in time—perhaps when the two scarecrows burned to ashes, or at other points in time—he triggered some kind of defense mechanism, the space was distorted, and Wind's Breath was locked in an independent dimension.
Is the effect of the previously detected magic just to distort space? Or is it more than that?
Is the detected magic aura related to the fire? Is it related to the scarecrow attacking me?
Is it this weird magic that caused the iron book left behind by the previous warlock (disguised as Father Matruh) to disappear?
Chabron integrated the existing clues, only to feel confused.
"Shall we go back the way we came?" Chabron asked.
"It's up to you." Jacks' tone remained steady.
Chabron was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Let's move on. Anyway, we can return to the town from the south."
This is a simple exploratory attempt - Chabron needs to determine whether there is a huge illusion of Wind's Breath Town ahead, or whether the space is really distorted, preventing him from leaving here.
----------
In a game in his previous life, Chabron once encountered a corridor that was constantly looping and seemingly endless in a dungeon. The marks on the wall reappeared again and again. But in the end, he discovered that the corridor was just longer, the so-called repetitive loop.
It's just an illusion created by illusion. As long as you keep moving forward, you can reach the end.
This can only be determined by moving forward.
The man nodded without saying anything, and raindrops fell on his fluffy hair.
Braving the drizzle, they headed north and returned to the town.
—————
Today's Fengxi Town is no different from the past.
There is no wind here, there never is wind here, so the drizzle falls almost straight to the ground——
In the whistling land in the northwest of the entire star dome, the violent wind from the extreme north never stopped for a moment. Storm magic sang for countless days and nights, and even created an entire family of warlocks with the surname "Feng Xiao".
--------
[Midwinter], [Gold], [Shadow], [Whisting]... The blood of the dragon, the immortal king of the shadow plane, the roaring wind that never stops, are the spells passed down by several major warlock families for generations.
Origin of law.
A few centuries ago, the silver dragon dragon vein warlock who controlled the wind and snow, the descendant of the ancient silver dragon "Midwinter", outlawed the Shadow Dynasty and ascended to the throne of the starry sky. The Whistling family that controlled the storm gave birth to the most outstanding sailors
and mechanical engineers.
--------
But Fengxi Town is an exception in this land. The storm mixed with frost and cold will stop before it reaches here.
This is where the north wind stops.
There may still be a breeze occasionally, but the raging winds in the northwest are always absent, and the air is often so dull that it is almost stagnant.
This is also the origin of the name "Fengxi Town".
They just walked on the street.
There is nothing impressive about this small town——
There are no pontoons on the muddy river in the "City of Thousand Sails", there is no majesty of the rainbow castle rising into the sky in the "City of Thousand Layers", there is no bone-chilling damp fog in the "City of the Dead".
Rows of limestone and wooden houses are hidden behind hazy rain curtains, with only the sparse sound of rain surrounding them.
Time seems to have stood still here.
The surroundings were quiet and comfortable, with no sound from the small shops and bakeries, like a frozen movie scene. Only the occasional pedestrian with an umbrella and a bicycle driving in the drizzle passed by.
"It seems that the Wind Breath Town in front of me is not an illusion. The space is truly distorted. From the moment I met the spellcaster disguised as Father Matruh, everything became weird - the straw golem, the missing iron sheet
Books, magic with unknown effects, twisting and circulating space." Chabron thought.
Water drops flowed down the blond boy's face, outlining his handsome and handsome features.
The raindrops wetted the clothes, and the cold touch kissed the skin.
The little priest stretched out his slender palms to catch the wisps of coolness falling from the sky.
"It seems that something weird has been happening since those scarecrows attacked me, or since the fire that appeared out of nowhere."
"If that's really the case, that's a good thing." Jacks' words were a bit strange. He stood up straight and his voice was magnetic and oppressive.
"Why?" Chabron asked.
"I'm worried that everything went wrong earlier," Jakes replied.
"What does this mean?" Chabron became alert.
The man's gaze became deeper:
"On that night when the flames were raging a few days ago, I just left home, leaving only Aaliya and Anluo at home. In fact, the reason why I was not at home that day was because I happened to be summoned by Officer Follett and went to the police station.
"In the police station, Follett told me that a small town like Wind's Breath actually has independent legislative power, and there are some matters that I, a stranger, need to pay attention to and abide by. At that time, I felt something was wrong, and I thought of the experiences I had encountered in my previous career as an adventurer.
Something strange happened, and he left directly regardless of the police officer's request.
"At the same time, the fire started, and the wind spread the fire. The center of the flames was my previous residence. Fortunately, I returned in time and rescued Arya and Anluo. If I had returned home later,
I will lose at least one of them.
"Now that I think about it, is it possible -
"I'm just saying maybe...
"Am I being pushed away on purpose?"
Deliberately set aside? Officer Follett colluded with the arsonist?
Xia Bron was shocked. If he could reach level 3 as soon as possible and cast the second-ring magic [Realm of Honesty], then maybe he could try to verify this conjecture.
At this moment, Chabron suddenly remembered something, a strange thing, which made his back feel cold.
The young man shivered.
Suddenly, I felt my scalp numb slightly, and a chill rushed up to my spinal cord.
Why?
Why didn't he notice the abnormality at that time?
"The wind spreads the flames."
wind.
Yes, in Chabron's memory, even Fengxi Town, known as the place where strong winds linger, once had howling winds.
It was the raging wind that spread the fire, turning the source of the fire from nowhere into a disaster!
For the first time in many centuries, the wind began to blow in Fengxi Town.
