Seeing this, Qiao Mu casually lifted the protective barrier left before, and the three of them left the ruins hall.
But just when they got close to the entrance of the cave, a howling cold wind mixed with icy raindrops suddenly hit the magic protection naturally emitted from the three bodies.
At this moment, the time in the real world has reached midnight.
Rumble, rumble——
It was raining heavily in the middle of the night, with thick clouds, lightning and thunder in the sky, and large icy raindrops falling.
Without the moonlight, in this wilderness with no light source at all, the environment is almost dark to the point where you can't even see your fingers. Only the flashes of lightning from time to time will illuminate the empty and desolate wilderness of the island for a moment.
"I never had time to ask, Anvis, did you find what you were looking for?"
Looking at this dark and desolate scene, the force field on Evan's body stretched out, like an umbrella, blocking the heavy rain falling above his head.
"We've found it, brother Evan."
Beside him, Anvis nodded, and also used magic to separate the rain curtain above his head.
"Then, Anvis, can you help me find my guards?"
Turning his head, Evan looked at Anvis with burning eyes.
"Okay, but before that, we will temporarily return to Lavanles to confirm the next time the black ship will enter the port."
Anvis nodded.
"It's too far from the mainland, and this island is shrouded in the fog of death all year round. It's not realistic for us to directly cross the foggy sea. It's best to follow the black ship back."
"The level of danger on the island is somewhat unexpected, and according to the information I received, it seems that some huge danger is about to come. As soon as we find your escort, we will leave the island immediately."
In fact, even though the seal had been absorbed by him, Anvis was not sure whether the message recorded on the slate and the time mentioned in the pagan's notes were referring to that specific time.
The existence in the Tao seal broke out.
Therefore, he decided to leave the island as soon as possible.
"But one thing is, are you sure your guard is still alive?"
At the end of the sentence, Anvis couldn't help but look at Evan with some suspicion.
"No, at the last moment when we were attacked, I heard those heathen cultists saying that they wanted to use my guards as sacrifices for some kind of ritual."
Evan shook his head, his tone a little happy for some reason.
"...But doesn't that mean it's gone?"
Anvis was slightly stunned, a little surprised by Evan's tone.
"No, Avis. A ceremony that requires eighth-level professionals as sacrifices will probably not be held so casually."
Evan shook his head.
"Besides, her life card is still there and has not been broken. We can use this to find her."
With that said, Evan took out a nameplate made of ice crystal-like material from the ring. It had a unique soul aura and the surface was intact.
Fortunately for Evan, among his previous belongings found on the body of the black-robed priest who usurped his identity were the life tablets of his guards.
"Is that so?"
Anvis glanced at the nameplate and nodded clearly.
"good--"
.….….
Along the way, the three of them encountered many nocturnal alienated monsters.
A wild wolf with strange sarcoma on the side of its neck, a strangely deformed crow with densely packed dark yellow eyes, a wild boar with black tentacles dancing on its back, and some even stranger creatures that are even difficult to identify their original species...
But tonight, they looked particularly restless.
When approaching Lavanles from a distance, Anvis and others suddenly noticed that the situation in the town seemed to have changed beyond expectation.
Due to the disappearance of the Moon Shadow Seal, the cursed power on the island began to become thinner.
This led to more chain reactions. Without the suppression of the power of the curse, the strength of Rai's force field suddenly began to increase, and the range began to gradually extend outward.
When the three of them entered the range of Lavanles, the rain had become heavier.
Accompanied by the roaring hurricane and roaring lightning, the pouring rain formed waves of fog walls, violently attacking the three of them, and then weakly bounced off the surface of the invisible force field.
Hua Hua Hua——
The heavy rain washed away the deserted streets, and the roads were also hidden in the darkness. The surrounding houses had their doors and windows closed, and the interior was pitch black, as if they had been empty and abandoned for a long time.
Relying on the illumination of the candlelight technique, the three of them walked through the stormy harbor city streets, heading towards the island tavern [Sleeping Siren].
…?
While walking, at a certain moment, Anvis suddenly felt a faint feeling of palpitations and dissonance in his heart.
The environment... something is wrong.
At the same time, in his peripheral vision, as a bolt of lightning flashed across, the dark corner of the harbor city street suddenly became distorted for a moment!
Anvis suddenly stopped and turned to look, but when the light of lightning dimmed, there was nothing unusual there.
"What's wrong?"
Evan also looked at Anvis's gaze, but found nothing, so he asked with some doubts.
"Just now, was it twisted there?"
Anvis looked at the street corner steadily and asked.
"Have it?"
Evan was stunned and couldn't help but use his mental energy to search the street corner, but still found nothing.
"I didn't find anything, Sir Avis."
Qiao Mu also shook his head. Even he couldn't find anything unusual.
"...let's go faster."
Thinking of his heart palpitations just now and the custom of island residents not wanting to go out on the streets at night, Anvis frowned and decided not to delve into it for the time being, but to head to the tavern as soon as possible.
Tavern, Sleeping Siren.
The tavern hall was empty late at night, all the candles were extinguished, and only the small and skinny bartender stood quietly behind the counter, like a disgusting, dead sculpture.
The door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and accompanied by the soft white light of the candlelight spell, the cold wind mixed with raindrops roared in, and was then violently squeezed out by the tightly closed door.
"What's the matter with you guys?"
As if being alarmed by the sudden light at the door, the thin bartender turned his head mechanically, with a deathly pale face, and spoke in a slow and strange tone.
"Come to return the house key and inquire about the departure time of the next ship to the mainland."
Somewhat uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the room, Anvis casually created a ball of magic flame and lit several candles on the wall of the tavern.
When the warm yellow candlelight illuminated the room, the bartender's face suddenly seemed to have a touch of life.
"The next ship is going to the mainland?"
The bartender repeated Anvis' words, but stopped talking and just stared at the three of them with a strange look.
That look reminded Anvis of the homeless man who disappeared.
Rumble——
A huge thunder suddenly sounded, and a bright bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, suddenly lighting up the room for a moment.
"No."
In the pale light of the lightning, the bartender spoke quietly.
"Foreigners who come from nowhere, we have never had any ships to the mainland -"
