However, unlike the panic and fear of the business travelers, the River Valley City guards who were looking for Tesia looked surprised. They all looked at each other in shock.
The tall and burly knight that Woody had seen before had even mounted his war horse again, stopped digging three feet into the ground, and instead took out a black horn and began to blow the rallying horn.
"Does this mean we have to leave?"
Seeing the gray fog of death sweeping toward the temporary camp in Maple Bay like a living creature, Woody subconsciously came up with this idea.
Compared to the fear and panic of others, he was not too afraid of this unknown gray mist. On the contrary, he was a little curious. If this was like Tesia said, it was a prison that forced the local residents of the Golden Valley to be unable to leave.
And no matter where it escapes, it will be chased and swallowed by the gray fog, so how does it identify it, or is it really conscious and able to identify the breath of everyone's body?
But if you think about it carefully, if all these are attributed to the sleeping god, then it is normal. The surrounding rules of the god will be affected, let alone a simple intelligent search.
Woody carefully left the camp where the city guards were stationed, and then stood casually under a tree, quietly looking at the Riverdale City guards who were trying their best to find him. He was forced to return to the scene in the gray mist, his thoughts changing.
,
Soon, the noisy business travelers in the camp were also shocked to discover that after the guards left, the gray mist was like the tide at ebb, retreating crazily in the direction it came from. After a while, the sky and the earth returned to the clear and bright air of the past.
The fragrance of green grass still lingering in the air makes it easy for people to feel that the gray fog that just blocked the sky is like an illusion in a dream, but the horseshoe marks on the grass remind them.
Those people have been here, and so has the gray mist.
For a time, the entire camp was whispering, and various gossips about the Golden River Valley were emerging one after another. The hot topics of discussion suddenly reached a peak.
But at this time, Woody had already returned to the camp of the Furious Winter Merchant Group. At this time, the camp was quiet, and the carriages were empty. Until he reached the center surrounded by carriages, his vision followed the debris placed on both sides.
, after the cargo pile was opened, I saw a dark crowd of people gathered in the center of the carriage.
Siluke/0/111/111221/"Vegetable Skeleton's Foreign Land Development"
None of them seemed to be affected by the gray fog. They all looked at the high platform in front of them with frightened expressions. A tall creature with bone spurs, dense scales, and a devil-like face was lying on the ground, covered in a unique...
The chaotic aura of the abyss has not yet died, but is being tightly suppressed by a five-pointed star-like light belt imprinted with runes. No matter how hard it exerts itself, it cannot move.
Next to the suspected abyss demonic creature stood a very majestic young woman in a robe. She was none other than the court mage Cecil who left in a luxurious carriage not long ago.
Standing at a high place, she saw Woody approaching, but she said nothing, just nodded slightly, and then continued to use her cool face to address the many members of the business group in the audience, and her voice was majestic and filled with unquestionable momentum.
"Now that the traitor has been caught, I will still take you back to the Northland for the rest of the journey."
As she spoke, a portal appeared again behind her. This time, an invisible hand directly dragged the immobile demon creature suppressed by the runes into the portal. At that moment, Woody's perception made him feel
There was a familiar scent, no cover up.
Princess of the Stars, Rani.
Woody breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was her. If this was the case, then they must have been wary during their overseas trip. After all, there were people who were bewitched by demons around them, but it was far worse than meeting demons.
The incarnation of the lord is even more terrifying.
If I had to use a metaphor to describe this feeling, it would be that in the latter case you saw a cockroach flying towards your face in a garbage dump on the road, and you luckily escaped, only to lament that you were unlucky, while the former was more like
Cockroaches are found in the food you eat at home. You don't know when they have sneaked in. This will cause you to lose your only sense of security and you will be fearful and vigilant all day long.
On the other hand, the faces of the Nudong Merchant Group members in the audience showed joy. As ordinary people, what they want more is a backer they can rely on. This is why they are trying to join the Nudong Merchant Group.
, as long as Cecil returns to the caravan, he will have a backbone again. The so-called traitors and the crisis they are about to encounter are far less than the crisis that has already reached them.
Not long after, Woody and the bronze dragon Donnie arrived at the familiar luxury carriage. However, this time, Cecil's face was much more sad than before. After seeing Woody and Donnie enter, he
He has calmed down a lot, but the sadness between his brows is still obvious.
"What happened outside? Why did the guards of River Valley City come here? What is the gray mist?"
When Woody sat down, Cecil's questions came like a barrage. Obviously, all her previous attention was on finding the traitors in the team and how to deal with them. She was not interested in many things happening in the outside world.
With a superficial understanding, when Woody came back, he naturally couldn't wait to know the truth of the matter.
Woody hesitated for a moment, and then carefully chose to tell her part of what he knew, including Tesia's existence, her environment, and the current situation in Riverdale City. Some were guesses, and some were hearsay.
Cecil has obviously heard the bronze dragon's explanation, but with Woody's version of the explanation, she understands the current situation more clearly.
"In other words, the current Golden River Valley is nominally ruled by mist. No one can leave there. Everyone, including the lord, is infected with an inexplicable curse?"
"Then how did the little girl leave?"
Cecil realized after a brief listen that Tecia must have some secrets hidden in her body. Otherwise, how would she know how to avoid being hunted by the guards? Moreover, when facing the sweeping gray fog, the girl became like a temporary camp.
Like foreign tourists, they were not forced to return to the territory of the Golden River Valley like the group of guards.
"My guess is that there is a mysterious force among them. They took advantage of Tesia's mother's illness to force her to come out. As for why she went to the Elf Market, I have too little information now, so it's difficult for me..."
Woody knew it was too early to reveal the story of Quetzalcoatl, so he only revealed part of the truth.
There is nothing to hide. After all, Woody still has no plans to leave the Furious Winter Merchant Group before arriving in Losente. It is much more uncomfortable to be alone in the wild than in a group. These messages tell her that maybe she
Have a deeper understanding.
"Oh, where's the little girl?"
Cecil was obviously aroused with some interest, and his expression was a bit curious, especially when he heard that the Elf Market would be opening in a few days, his eyes flickered.
"She's still in the reeds by the river. Donny knows where she is."
"You don't want to go find her, do you?"
Woody realized something and quickly continued.
"I advise you not to interfere with her now, as something unexpected may happen."
This is naturally not because he is worried that Cecil will be unfavorable to Thesia, but that the people and things related to the demigods are all unknown. Before the matter is clear, Woody does not want to correct the trajectory of history too much, at least
He has to investigate where the source comes from.
"Uh? Okay then."
Cecil was initially a little confused after hearing this, but when he saw Woody's instructions in such a serious and solemn tone, his questioning mood immediately collapsed, and his outgoing questioning turned into compliance, and he soon took the initiative to transition to
Next question.
Although they haven't seen each other for too long, they still have a lot to talk about.
From Cecil's sad expression that the traitor was one of his most trusted close businessmen, to Woody's story about how he had learned new knowledge from goblin technology and used his faith to forge it into a more powerful weapon,
They all shared with each other. Woody was shocked that the demon's penetration could reach this level and could completely block the detection of camp spells. Cecil was also curious that goblin technology was even further ahead than humans.
"This is very similar to a crossbow."
Cecil touched the position of the trigger, looking quite curious, as if he wanted to take it apart and study the principle.
She was very familiar with crossbows, and she carried a Xiu Qian on her wrist that was rarely used but trained regularly.
As a mage, she is not the kind of researcher who can do anything but cast spells. You must know that many mages, in addition to specializing in spell casting, also practice some melee combat skills. Some are even as proficient in swordsmanship as him, and some are even more proficient in swordsmanship.
What's more, a legendary mage is also a high-level warrior.
"It can't be said that the two are completely different. What I mainly like is that it is more unknown than the crossbow. Not many people know about it, and the damage is greater than the crossbow."
Woody did not start to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of crossbows and handguns to Cecil, because these things mainly depend on the respective users and the environment at that time. They need to be concealed and low-key. When the distance is close, the sound must be smaller.
The hand crossbow is more suitable, and vice versa.
He shaped his belief into the shape of a handgun mainly because he thought it could paralyze the opponent and try to take it down with one blow. If he changed it to a hand crossbow, it would inevitably greatly increase his vigilance. If he dodged it, he would have to fight for a long time.
meeting.
"All right."
Cecil nodded in understanding. She did not dwell too much on this topic. What she was worried about now was how to move forward on the next journey. Although the insider had been found, the mastermind behind the scenes was still the same.
She has no clue. Although her safety is now guaranteed, Cecil is worried about her teacher's safety. She has learned from her teacher that the powers of the gods are fading. The two temples of the God of War and the Goddess of Life have already begun to attack her.
Asenrant's believers have lost their feedback. If the devil really invades, can Asenlante survive?
And Woody didn't know what Cecil was thinking. All he could think about now was the next action. Although he knew not long ago that Quetzalcoatl had shown traces at this time and began to spread his faith.
There is a high chance of starting the Ascension Ceremony, allowing your soul strength to reach the minimum requirements of the Forged Soul, thus completing the necessary preparations for the next advancement to "Disaster Blade".
But after everything returned to peace, he couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons again.
Maybe he may be a little indecisive, but this is human nature. Before a major matter is decided, his inner thoughts will always waver. After all, to some extent, this determines his own life and death and the survival of those around him.
If he puts his heart and soul into it now, leaves the team, and pursues the somewhat slim possibility, he has a certain chance of success.
The best result should be to successfully master the body-forging soul, advance to the disaster blade, and greatly improve one's own strength before searching for the Astral Whale, but the consequence is that time may be delayed for some time.
But what if it fails...
Many images flashed through Woody's mind in an instant, including when he first came to this world and saw the abscess on the back of his neck that looked like a bunch of rotten grapes, and also when he felt the love of Aunt Susan and his cousin Verandu.
, and that stubborn girl with long burgundy hair, even in difficult circumstances, the flower bag can still bloom...
Everything I have experienced, one piece at a time.
His originally strong heart began to feel frightened.
Woody understood that this was an emotion called loss.
He is afraid of losing, fear and the unknown will bring about this emotion.
This is why the unknown makes people fearful, because it will take away what he cares about, even if he tells himself over and over again that there is nothing to be afraid of.
He is well aware of the major events and turmoil in the future, he has rich combat experience, and he understands the world so well.
Even if there are some things that you don't know about, you can minimize the danger through the abilities you have mastered.
But... can he really bear the consequences?
he asked himself...
When I had an answer in my mind, Cecil's voice also sounded in my ears.
"Woody, we are leaving tomorrow. By then, you..."
Cecil obviously saw Woody's obvious interest in the cloaked girl, so she was actually ready to break up.
But what she didn't expect was that what came out of the thin lips of the young golden boy opposite was something she didn't expect.
"Let's go together tomorrow."
"Then she..."
"She has her help behind her, so I don't need to worry about it. And it won't be long before this land can recover even without our help."
As Woody spoke, what flashed through his mind was the image of a giant snake with wings rising from the forest.
"Well."
Cecil sensed something was wrong with Woody, but she couldn't ask more questions.
Soon Woody left the carriage and the night passed quickly.
The motorcade set off again at dawn the next day and left Maple Leaf Bay. Woody did not see the girl, nor did he deliberately look for her.
But when looking at the outline of Maple Leaf Bay gradually disappearing on the horizon.
Still can't help but look at it.
Finally, until it disappeared, he gradually retracted his vision and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
Digest the undigested dark potion.
After an unknown amount of time, Woody heard a particularly noisy commotion.
He opened his slightly hazy eyes. When he saw the darkness in the carriage, he subconsciously thought that he had been sleeping for so long this time. From morning to night, there was no light.
Data also comes to mind.
But before Woody could rejoice in the joy of increased immunity, he saw wisps of gray mist coming out of the cracks in the car.
He suddenly woke up...
