The bullet turned into a scarlet light and flew out of the barrel.
The black bug was knocked away and exploded directly under the force of the bullet, turning into a pile of putrid debris on the wall.
The cold invading consciousness disappeared instantly, and Wei'er and Feier's bodies shook slightly and returned to normal.
"Li He, can this insect control people?" After Wei'er recovered, she looked at the body of the black insect and asked Li He with some palpitations.
"Yes." Li He nodded lightly, "It should have the ability to control people's minds. I suspect that Baron Murphy, who was killed just now, was controlled by him before we came. It was this bug that implanted a daughter into him.
His memory allowed him to attack Blackstone Castle and gave him the ability to alienate."
"It sounds like this bug is quite powerful." Fei'er tsked her lips and commented, "I just don't know how it tastes."
"Ah?" Weier looked at Feier with wide eyes, "This insect is so scary, you still want to eat it?"
"What's so scary, coward Weier." Feier rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "You felt terrible when you ate the ecstasy fish before. Or did I help you eat the fish head? Nothing happened to it, right?"
"I……"
Li He ignored Weier and Feier's bickering and looked at the black insect remains on the wall. His eyes narrowed slightly and he saw something inside, something similar to a spar.
He stepped closer and carefully dug it out with a folding knife, and found that it was really a crystal.
The crystal is about the size of a walnut, irregular polyhedron, and translucent, as if it is filled with mist.
Holding the spar, Li He walked a few steps in the room. A faint orange light appeared inside the spar. When he changed the direction and walked again, the light became stronger. When he changed the direction again, the light quickly dimmed and changed within a few seconds.
It has to be the same as at the beginning.
"This is..." Wei'er stopped arguing with Fei'er, glanced at the thing in Li He's hand, thought for a few seconds and said, "Is this a pathfinding crystal? I seem to have seen it in the castle's book collection."
"Yes, the pathfinding crystal is also called the breadcrumb stone, or the oracle crystal, or the truth crystal. It is recorded in the sixth chapter of "The Notes of Moloch." Li He said.
"What's the use of the Breadcrumb Stone?" Faile asked and whispered, "It doesn't look like it's edible..."
"It is a guide." Li He said, "Just like the popular fairy tale, an abandoned child can find his way home by following the breadcrumbs scattered on the ground. This crystal will give a guide similar to breadcrumbs.
The guidance of the path guides you to a place."
"The story of the bread crumbs? Oh, I remembered it, but in the story, weren't all the bread crumbs eaten by the birds in the forest? The abandoned child couldn't find a home at all, and ended up finding a house made of candy. A house
There was an evil old witch who lived there, and she caught the two children and almost cooked them and ate them." Feier said quickly, remembering things related to eating very clearly.
"Indeed." Li He did not refute, "So, the path-finding crystal is only a guide, but it is difficult to say where it will lead. Whether it can reach it depends on the efforts of the person being guided.
Generally speaking, when you hold the crystal and move it in the right direction, the crystal will light up. If you continue to hold it in the right direction and hold it firmly, some information reminders will appear on the crystal."
As he spoke, Li He held the spar firmly in his hand, started walking again, adjusted it a few times, and walked in a new direction.
The inside of the spar lit up, dazzling light shot out, and an illusory image appeared in the living room.
At the beginning of the image, a large mountain covered with gray stones appeared, and then moved quickly to reach a mirror-like turquoise lake. Through the lake was a black swamp, and then a forest.
The final image passes through the forest, and a bustling city appears.
The city is located at the end of the forest, facing the blue sea. There is a constant flow of horse-drawn carriages on the road outside the city. There are densely packed ships in the port, and a large amount of supplies are taken in and out. It is an extremely busy scene.
The image advances and you see it more clearly.
Towering city walls, beautifully carved city gates, wide stone-paved streets, numerous stone towers, bell towers, bustling crowds...
Finally, the image reached a small square with a fountain, and then slowly dissipated.
After reading it, Feier scratched her head and asked in confusion: "Where does this guide us to go?"
"It seems to be a city. If it's close to the sea, it should be to the north of us." Weier frowned and thought. She had hardly left Blackstone Castle, so she could only make a simple inference, not completely knowing where it was.
"It's Lensa." Li He gave the final answer, "The first mountain that appeared was the limestone mountain, then the Emerald Lake, then the Blackwater Swamp, and finally through the Shadow Forest we arrived at Fornarensa.
The capital of the kingdom—Lunsa.”
In the past six months, he has been learning the language. In addition to research, he has read a large number of books in Blackstone Castle, and is no stranger to some common sense.
In fact, he had been interested in Lensa ever since he learned about it.
According to records, Lunca is not only the royal capital of the Kingdom of Fornarensa, but also the most important transportation hub for several nearby kingdoms.
Businessmen from all over the world gathered in the city, bringing countless goods and rare treasures. Art and music filled the streets. In addition, it was rumored that there were many real wizards living in the city.
He had thought before that if he left Blackstone Castle to explore and understand the world, his first stop would be Lensa.
"So it's Lunza?" After listening to Li He's words, Wei'er and Feier nodded in understanding.
"I guessed before that there was a 60% chance that this was all the count's test, but now I am more than 90% sure." Li He pondered for a few seconds, then spoke to Wei'er and Feier, "The count said so.
Yes, her test is greater than imagined, Baron Murphy is just a small prelude, and it is very likely that Rensa is just the beginning, it is very challenging."
"Although it is challenging, we are going to Lenza, right?" Mayfair asked.
"Yes." Li He nodded. Going to Lunsa can not only check out the count's challenges, but also explore more things in this world. It's like killing two birds with one stone.
Faile counted on her fingers: "To get to Lunza, we must first climb over the Gray Rock Mountains, then row across the Emerald Lake, then pass through the Blackwater Swamp and Shadow Forest, and finally reach Lunza.
There are mushrooms in the limestone mountains, silver shrimps in the emerald lake, tender reeds in the blackwater swamps, and I don’t know what there is in the Shadow Forest, but there should be no shortage of food. We shouldn’t be hungry along the way.”
"We are indeed going to Lenza, but we won't... go like this." Li He shook his head lightly.
"Huh? Why?" Fei'er was confused, and Weier also showed a surprised expression.
