"Investigate the 'Resurrection of the Dead' incident as soon as possible. The merchant will come to collect the information two days after receiving the letter..."
Wow
Mayor Mateus put down the letter and asked his assistant: "What do you think?"
"We seem to have no other choice but to help that gentleman." Worried about eavesdropping, the assistant did not name Lu Li.
"It's not that...it's because he hasn't come back yet." Mayor Mateus asked his assistant to bring the candlestick. "A week has passed, and more and more council members are asking to see Lu Li again."
"They even suspected that we imprisoned him."
The assistant came back holding the candlestick: "It's just an excuse, right? Everyone knows you don't dare to do that."
Mayor Mateus placed the letter on the candle and watched the bottom of the letter yellow, curl, and burn.
"Go and help him investigate. Act anxious and let them see that we are busy with Lu Li. This can alleviate some of the discussion."
Letting go of his palm, the burning letter fell lightly and was swept away by the cold wind outside the window, turning into ashes in mid-air.
"The weather is starting to get colder, and we have to prepare for the coming cold winter."
…
Compared with the "real world", they encountered the biting cold wind on the eve of winter.
The undulating hills could not stop the cold wind from the north. What was worse was that they, who were also heading south, were moving against the wind for some unknown reason.
Catalina, who was wrapped in a blanket outside her leather armor, was almost frozen with her face frozen. She tried to walk backwards, but the wind pushed her forward again, as if they were coming from all directions.
The sharp whimpering sound of the wind rang in my ears. It was the horrifying sound made by the wind blowing through the holes in the villain's face.
"Cover your mouth with a hood and wrap it with a blanket." Pusius raised his head and advised Catalina.
Catalina did as she was told. Although it was still difficult to open her eyes, and the outfit was cumbersome and inconvenient, it no longer looked like she had been cut in the face with a dagger.
"Aren't you cold?" Catalina's dull words were blown away by the wind through two layers of cloth.
Pusius was covered in hair. Although the tip of his face and nose were red from the cold, he looked indifferent. The businessman and the evil degenerate who could hardly be called a human seemed to be afraid of the cold. Big sister? He even slept comfortably in Lu Li's hood.
It’s on.
What made her curious was that Lu Li was as normal as he was in front of the fireplace in the temperature of only a few degrees and the cold wind.
Is it just because he is from Mainland China?
"Not cold!"
Pusius answered, but Lu Li did not leave her.
He spoke less and less after leaving the town of Nice.
In other words, after finding traces of "Anna".
Catalina took out the kettle. The scalding hot water she filled before setting off has become as cold as body temperature: "How far are we still?"
"Two thirds."
Catalina was silent for a moment and sarcastically said: "If this is the real world you are talking about, then you have already won."
The Main Continent is different from the wilderness in the Desolate Land.
This stems from their different urban structures and civilization systems.
The desolate land is more scattered, and the Main Continent is more concentrated.
The way the influence of the deserted land spreads is that Midnight City allows the church to be established until the god is about to be born, and the church will leave Midnight City and go to the wilderness to establish a small town.
The way the main continent spreads its influence is that the Vina Freeze Port uses railways as tentacles to extend outward, forming a number of root-like veins, connecting each other.
And concentration means that weird things that feed on humans will also gather.
Weiner's Freezing Port has battleships, a trial court, and a small number of weird ability users. The battleship is equipped with 64 12-pound enchanted cannons and can blast any monster with physical entities.
But their influence can only last around the Ice-Free Port. Further away, you won't see them, because the weirdness around the Ice-Free Port in Vina has made them tired to deal with.
However, I heard that the Alchemy Laboratory discovered a kind of deep sea stone that can resist weird alchemical materials. If it can be produced on a large scale and made into a barrier...
Midnight City is more comfortable. The scattered god towns disperse weirdos, and the mature system allows them to continuously create gods. Although it also has shortcomings, such as falling into evil gods and turning into weird towns, former companions have become
enemy.
It's hard to say which one is better and which one is worse. Lennon Freeze Harbor seems to be more dangerous. Its existence has begun to resemble the "big meat can" in the eyes of the weird people in the city in the old days. However, they have realized this and started to absorb survivors.
Instead, railways were used to supply other towns.
Still, the wild is not a safe place.
There are always monsters that appear with the weird fog and monsters from the other world wandering in the wild, and monsters not only prey on humans, but also monsters.
For example, in the "Strange Colony Illustrated Book", the ghoul colony is naturally hostile to the jellyfish colony, and they will hunt each other. And an interesting point: the ghoul colony usually establishes a gathering place around the jellyfish colony, and the jellyfish colony also.
They were far enough away from Haug Town, and when they were halfway through the journey, they saw a scene.
A giant monster with colorful colors like a butterfly, so vivid that it can cause nausea and delirium, lies in the distance. It is dead, with a slender black shadow lying on its head.
Evil Fall's split nostrils took up half of his face, and it was difficult to tell his emotions from his expression, but his words were filled with fear: "Let's run away before it notices us."
Until they disappeared into the distance, and the abyss on the evil face shrank back to its original state.
"What is that?"
The person asking was Catalina.
"The poison of knowledge." Evil whispers.
Its ritual is to give weight to knowledge. The more knowledge you have, the heavier it will be on your brain, until your fragile brain can no longer bear the weight and turns into a puddle of mush.
Then the poison of knowledge will cling to the head and suck the delicious food.
"Sounds really bad..."
Catalina thinks evil spirits are much more disgusting than weirdos. At least most weirdos don't hunt in this way.
"What's the way to break the ritual?" Pusius asked.
"The solution is 'Don't have knowledge'"
After that, I didn’t encounter any evil spirits on the road, and some strange things were avoided by the evil spirits in advance.
When the sky became darker, the temperature became lower, and the biting cold wind kept blowing, they saw the villages in the distance.
Ahead is the Scarecrow Village. On the outskirts of the village, the outlines of desolate farmland stand crookedly.
…
The elegant and graceful shadow of the girl walks towards the village.
The desolate farmland is getting closer and closer to the "scarecrow", like the hands of a clock moving away from the eyes, and then the head.
They are afraid of beings who enter their territory.
A figure walked out of the village and respectfully saluted the girl's shadow: "Powerful being, why did you visit the Scarecrow Village?"
"Has anyone died here recently?"
A gentle girlish voice spoke with an elegant enunciation like an aristocrat.
"The scarecrow protects us..." the old man said to the scarecrow luggage outside the village.
"Disgusting place."
The girl's voice was full of disgust. The next moment, the old man's body stiffened briefly. Then he took off the sickle from his waist and opened his throat like cutting straw.
