Following the road through the town, Angelet quickly returned to the previous town of Meuse.
The town was still silent, and the houses on both sides were silent...
There was a faint white mist floating in the air. Even the sunlight could not dispel the mist.
Angelet walked slowly on the main road in the middle of the town, glancing left and right.
These wooden houses are very quiet, and you can't hear a sound at all.
Pu Chi Pu Chi...
Amidst the sound of flapping wings, a black crow flew from the roof on the right and stopped on the eaves. Its red eyes looked at Angelet dully.
The crow didn't crow, it just stood quietly on the eaves, peacefully.
Angelet glanced at it, ignored it, and continued walking towards the end of the town.
squeak....
There was a harsh sound as the fence door opened. Angele frowned and moved gently, walking into the small gray-white stone brick building.
Outside the small building, the three carriages were still there, and a total of four horses were still unconscious on the ground, seemingly sleeping soundly. Next to one of the carriages, the coachman Tom was sleeping soundly while leaning on the carriage.
Angelet walked over, squatted down, and shook Tom's head.
"Hey, Tom, wake up, wake up quickly." Angelet shook his head vigorously, and at the same time stretched out his fingers and gently tapped behind Tom's right ear.
"Well..." Tom groaned and opened his eyes drowsily. "Sir... why are you here?"
"It's time for us to go." Angelet said in a deep voice. He stood up and walked to the two black horses. He also pinched behind the ears. Soon, the two black horses slowly woke up and turned around.
"Leaving?" Tom was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately. "Okay. Okay, I'll get ready right away!"
"The master here is asleep, and everyone around him is also asleep. Hurry up and get ready, we will leave here immediately. This place is not suitable for staying for a long time." Angelet always felt that there was an uncomfortable feeling here, but he couldn't put it into words.
Come.
After coming to this town for so long, he had never seen any other residents in the town except the owner of this hotel. Even when he asked for directions when entering the town, it was Tom who asked.
Tom responded, but also felt that there was no sound of people around, and it was a bit creepy. He shuddered, and quickly went to prepare supplies for the road.
Angelet walked around the courtyard alone. He circled around the other two carriages. He didn't know what happened to the other three people. Are they dead or not? The situation at that time was very strange. They ran away separately.
The two small doors that went in did not lead to the same place at all. So Angele had no clue about the other three people. And the princess was walking in a hurry and had no chance to ask her. But looking at her appearance
, it is possible that they encountered other dangers besides the Giant Claw Warrior.
Angelet shook his head. He stopped thinking about it. While Tom was preparing things, he walked out of the courtyard and walked to a wooden house on the left, ready to take a look inside. He asked two local residents about the situation.
Walking along the outside of the courtyard, walking to the left, is a wooden double-story building with a wooden fence surrounding the outside. The entire house is made of redwood. It looks old and a bit worn.
The fence gate was locked. Angelet turned over and easily jumped over the half-person-high fence and entered the yard.
There are weeds everywhere in the yard. It seems that the owner does not take care of it often.
Angelet slowly walked to the door, put his hand on the red wooden door, and pushed it gently.
Snapped!
After a crisp sound, the door slowly opened, and a trace of black mist slowly returned to Angelet's fingertips. This was a simple use of negative energy to corrode the wooden bolt. Of course, if it was a complicated door lock, it would not be able to be opened like this.
.
As soon as the mahogany door was opened, a choking smell of dust suddenly hit my face.
"Ahem!"
Angelet couldn't help coughing twice. With a flick of his fingers, a breeze suddenly blew in the room, blowing a lot of dust out the door.
Angelet waited until the dust had almost cleared before walking into the house.
"What's going on?" As soon as he entered the room, he was slightly stunned.
The whole house was empty, there was nothing, no one, only neat wooden tables and chairs. Brown bows and arrows hung on the walls, and the fireplace was covered with thick spider webs.
Angelet slowly walked into the house and stepped on a spoon that fell to the ground.
What about the expected sleeping neighbor?
Angelet narrowed his eyes. His face suddenly became extremely ugly. He turned around and ran out of the house, and then explored the surrounding houses one by one.
Half an hour later...
"What's going on..." Angelet's forehead was covered with a slight cold sweat. Although his body became warm due to exercise, his heart was cold.
All the houses! All of them!
It's all empty!
There are no people, no residents, not even corpses, no rats. It's just empty, except for dust.
"So where are the people I felt and saw when I entered the town?" Angelet felt a little scared.
He stood in the middle of the town street, with goosebumps all over his body. The white mist around him was hazy, seeming to cast a mysterious and strange atmosphere.
"Hiss... Huh..." He took a deep breath, tried his best to prevent himself, and walked quickly towards the direction of the hotel.
*************************
"Tom!!"
With a creak, Angele pushed open the fence and walked into the hotel yard.
"Tom! Come on, we have to get out of here right away!" he shouted.
But the whole courtyard was quiet, and no sound was heard.
Angelet was suddenly startled, he had a bad feeling.
After scanning left and right, the two black horses beside the carriage were still standing there, snorting white steam from their nostrils from time to time. But Tom didn't know where they were. It's unlikely that he couldn't hear Angelet's shouts in such a small place.
Angelet slowly touched the dagger on his waist, pulled it out gently, and held it in his hand. He walked around the house lightly and quickly and walked towards the backyard.
The backyard is a place like the kitchen, and you must come here to prepare supplies. You must also buy wheat for horses and other things from here.
After passing through some dense trees, a small open space appeared in front of Angelet.
On the open space, a conjoined room was built connected to the small building. There was a chimney on the top, which should be the kitchen.
Angelet walked around inside and shouted for a while, but saw no sign of Tom at all.
"Damn it!!" He cursed in a low voice. Knowing that he could no longer stay in this place, he quickly picked up some beans for the horses and hurried back to the yard in front.
Got into the driving seat.
"drive!"
Shaking the reins, the two horses slowly walked out along the open courtyard entrance. Pulling the carriage, they quickly ran onto the main road of the town.
"Tom is also missing..." Angelet's scalp was numb, "I just saw him just now..."
"And what about the people we met here more than a month ago? Obviously everything we ate and drank in this month was real. And where is the hotel owner? Why are the other houses filled with thick
The dust is so thick that it would take at least many years to accumulate..."
Angelet's thoughts were swirling. The more he thought about it, the weirder he felt.
"Drive!" He shook the reins again, and the two black horses immediately sped up, pulling the carriage and running quickly.
ten minutes later........
The carriage quickly left the town of Meuse. It passed through the fork in the road and ran quickly in the direction it came from.
Angelet sat in the driving seat, and the cold wind blowing in his face made him sober up a little. He also felt much calmer.
The dense woods on both sides soon turned into sparse and tall pine forests. Blocks of gray-white stones gradually appeared on the ground.
Angelet remembered this place, this area was where he met the shiny squirrel when he first came here.
He couldn't help but look to the woods on the left, hoping to see the little squirrel again. For some reason, he suddenly felt a suppressed and longing to see a living creature.
The wheels of the carriage rumbled, and soon, a squirrel sat on the grass with its legs slumped on the grass, holding a nut and gnawing happily, appeared in his field of vision.
"Huh..." Angelet quickly stopped the carriage, turned over, and walked quickly towards the squirrel.
"Hey. Are you here again?" Bright Squirrel greeted him familiarly, raised his head and glanced at Angele. "How is it? What's the harvest?"
Angelet smiled reluctantly. "It's not bad, we achieved our goal." He squatted in front of the squirrel. The faint feeling of panic in his heart subsided quickly like the tide.
The heavy depression slowly began to dissipate.
"The elder of our forest wants to see you, what do you think? Can you go?" the squirrel asked.
"Senior citizens?"
"Well, actually I just want to buy some of the things you gave me last time. We live in the woods next to the main road, and the purpose is also to facilitate buying and selling." Squirrel said briefly.
"I don't bring many snacks..." Angelet hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. No matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat." The squirrel said boldly, waving its paws.
"Okay..." After talking to the little squirrel, Angelet suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"Follow me." The little squirrel took a bite of the nut, got up and walked towards the woods.
"What should I do with my carriage?" Angelet was stunned.
"My companion is watching over you." The little squirrel pointed at the carriage.
Angelet looked back and saw a small black squirrel standing on the roof of the carriage, waving to this side.
"Have a good trip, Allen." The little guy pulled a small handkerchief and waved it this way.
Snapped!!
A nut hit the little guy's head accurately. The black squirrel fell down in response.
"Go away, sister! I'm not dead yet!" the bright squirrel said viciously, clapped his paws, "Okay, let's keep walking."
Angele suppressed a smile and said, "So your name is Allen."
"That's my nickname." Allen shrugged.
One person and one mouse quickly disappeared into the woods.
"Ellen! I want to break up with you!!" The black squirrel's cry came from behind. "And my sister too!!"
***************************
After passing through a large woodland, Angele followed Allen and soon came to a large lake.
White mist filled the blue lake water. The entire lake was so huge that at a glance, you couldn't even see the other side. It looked like a sea.
A brown wooden platform extends far into the lake. The lower part is supported by high wooden feet into the bottom of the lake, maintaining the weight of the entire wooden platform. It is like a bridge leading to the center of the lake.
Angelet just walked to the lake and stood outside the wooden platform, feeling speechless.
At the end of the wooden bridge, a white cat was standing upright on its legs, looking at the lake with its hands behind its hands. It was sighing, and it had a sense of vicissitudes of life. I don’t know what it was feeling, but there seemed to be a fish beside its feet.
