As the Midwinter Festival approaches, Mirlu's ability to control the wind element becomes stronger and stronger. She can even directly use the wind element to form an air shield or wind blade without using spells.
This situation is very similar to the precursor of a warlock awakening her bloodline. Now she is just short of an opportunity, an opportunity to fully activate the power of her bloodline, so that she can have the power to cast spells.
There are other things that didn't happen to Sherlock but were related to him.
The war at Cape Ask in the High Forest finally broke out. Ents and demons, myconids and drow, the Blood Church and the Silver Moon Alliance, all forces and races came to the stage.
Of course, the essential and most important one is the struggle between the two mortal enemies, the Zhentarim and the Harpers.
The second thing is still inseparable from the above two, and that is about the survival of Noisy Water City.
No one thought that the powerful lord and kind-hearted paladin Nanasro Graysword would die in an assassination.
No one knows who the assassin is, but with the death of the nominal supreme leader of Noisy Water City, this prosperous city has also fallen into endless disputes.
The Gray Sword's two subordinates, Halaros and Kalahar, fought for the dominance of Noisy Water City. The Holy Coin Cult and the Crow Society also took this opportunity to seek a higher voice.
The battle between the Zhentarim, which has been planning for a long time, and the Harper Alliance, which has always been on guard, has also begun around the control of the city.
To be honest, until the two met again, Sherlock couldn't believe that the development of this matter would involve Mu Liuxi.
After five days of traveling day and night, the group finally arrived at the village closest to Lost Soul Mountain.
From the perspective of Faerûn's scenery, this small town named Orasberg is located on the edge of the civilized world. It is a bit barely a village in terms of scale. To its north is the Cherimba Swamp, the source of the Snake Tail River.
, to the south is the notorious Lost Soul Mountain.
According to rumors, this area was once a paradise for a group of dark druids, who practiced human sacrifice, cannibalism, and worse dark rituals here.
It wasn't until Earl Cromet led a group of immigrants to establish Orasberg here 200 years ago that this area came into contact with the edge of civilization.
A long period of various supernatural events have made the villagers of this small town very superstitious and xenophobic. Therefore, not many players are willing to come to this remote town, and they cannot stay long if they do.
It's just that this place is the closest place to stay in Lost Soul Mountain, and Sherlock and the others will probably stay here in the next few days.
The moment the group of people stepped across the short bridge over the moat, the originally sunny sky immediately turned dark.
The shallow moat is filled with leaves, and if you look closely, you can see some dried blood and the remains of some unknown creatures.
After walking through the moat, I saw two huge locust trees standing on both sides of the village entrance. It was obviously dusk, but there was no smoke, and except for a group of children, the entire village was completely deserted.
This group of children seemed to be playing a hide-and-seek game around the locust tree. Every time someone touched the locust tree, they would sing a strange song.
After observing for a while, everyone pieced together the entire song.
Over fields and swamps, over hills and streams,
Look at the old witch running, chasing me closely.
She is the bride of the swamp, coming on the gallows.
Girl, give me a lamb and you will never see me again.
She is faster than the wind, faster than death,
If she catches your scent, she'll steal your breath.
You can't escape your ending or hers,
All you can do is outdo your friends.
Singing this song in a child's voice undoubtedly intensified its weird atmosphere. As a cold wind blew by, everyone shuddered, especially Mir Lu. Although she still pretended to be calm, her trembling muscles were already
The fear in his heart was completely exposed.
"Why don't we change places?" Tam suggested with concern as he obviously saw Mirulu's expression.
But before everyone could respond, Mirlu herself was the first to refuse, "If I can't overcome this level of fear, what qualifications do I have to pursue the power in my bloodline."
The other party said so firmly that Sherlock and the other three didn't say anything else. In fact, for players, of course they would not let go of this kind of scenario.
The fact is that most of the fears are caused by themselves. When everyone walked in, the children did not show any fangs or faces.
"Hello children, may I ask where all the adults in this village have gone."
The task of dealing with children was naturally left to the only woman in the team. The freckles on Feng Ling'er's face could not conceal her immaturity. Women of this grade were the ones that naughty children liked to get close to.
Feng Ling'er's performance did not disappoint them. A girl who was usually crazy played the role of a cute young lady without any flaws. She easily obtained information from the child with just a few gold flat candies.
First, there was the whereabouts of the villagers. It seemed that they all went to the abandoned mine in the south of the town because of something.
As for the ballad, it has been sung in this area for several generations. It is said to be about an old witch named Lennie Longlegs who lives near the Nameless Swamp.
"This seems to be a hag." After listening to the children's description, Tam said thoughtfully.
The hag is an extremely evil creature, with powerful black magic, terrifying appearance, and cruel heart. The existence of this creature is a kind of evil.
There are many strange rumors about Orasberg, and it is not certain that a hag has haunted it before and now, not to mention that it is only in a ballad.
In comparison, another thing is more concerning. At this time, all the villagers in the town went to an abandoned mine together. It was obviously not for camping or the like.
After a little discussion, everyone decided to go to the mine to check out the situation. Their plan was to stay in this town for a few days, so it was more important to find out the situation here first.
The location of the mine was not far away. Following the direction pointed by the children, the group of people walked for more than ten minutes before discovering the described forest glade and the wooden frame entrance leading to the depths of the mine.
However, Sherlock and the others did not find any human figures in this place, and what greeted them was an extremely terrifying scene.
The nearby trees were hung like garlands, with smooth and fragmented human limbs and internal organs. An eyeless head was tied to a bare branch with blood-stained hair, and there was a nail nailed to the tree trunk below the head.
Zhang has a charcoal drawing of his smile and a headless wicker doll.
