By the bonfire at night, Roja widened his eyes when he heard the words of the young man with one eye exposed. The grilled fish in his hand accidentally fell to the ground, and on the other side, Serena and Juliana were noisy. Suddenly he calmed down, looking at the direction of Luo Ya and standing up.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
"Fog? Where is it? Stewart, how far is it from here?"
The two girls who heard the sensitive words became alert, and Roja also understood their reaction as if they were on the verge of an enemy.
The foggy weather was originally just one of the many weather in nature, not even a special phenomenon, but since more than half a year ago, this ordinary natural phenomenon has become no longer ordinary with the appearance of a certain monster.
[Hidden Mist] The scholars of Shia may not understand this terrifying beast of calamity, but for the hidden family in the kingdom of knights, this is a terrible monster that has been heard since childhood. After the K fortress incident, this world-changing monster has become even more daunting.
Next to the bonfire, Stewart picked up the map and urgently confirmed the location of the foggy spot. Serena was alerting the vicinity with her tail exploding. Juliana's ability in the night improved a lot, and she began to quickly gather the necessary supplies to prepare. Fleeing, but the black-haired boy did not act rashly after standing up and feeling it for a long time.
Crown Stone, no response.
Looking down at the wisps of cold air entwined in his hands, the black-haired boy frowned slightly. From the previous experience in the East, even if the distance is long, the monsters of the same [Six Plagues] should be each other. It was also able to sense, but Luo Ya did not feel any abnormality this time.
Not to mention the strong sense of oppression when facing the [Hidden Mist], there is not even an unstable mantra power fluctuations, the only thing is the ominous premonition that flashes occasionally, but it is not so much caused by the [Six Plagues] Rather, it is the intuition unique to high-level transcendents.
"Roya, what should I do? Do you want to evacuate now?"
"Hey, you guys are here to help, there are too many things to take away."
Anxious Serena and Juliana spoke one after another, but the black-haired boy shook his head after a brief consideration.
"Calm down first, this is probably not [Six Plagues]... Stewart, are you sure where you see it?"
"Well, it's far away from us, it's in the core area, we seem to have no problem here."
"You said that kind of thing earlier..."
The sound of Stewart’s report came for the second time, causing the girls who heard it to complain. Everyone at the campfire breathed a sigh of relief, but the alert was not lifted. The black-haired boy thought for a moment, and Xiang Zheng Stewart, who used the remote viewing pupil technique, asked:
"Is there anything like a'face'? A human face made of mist."
"...No, as far as I can see it, not yet."
After waiting for a while, the pupils of the teenager who had already removed the blindfold radiated light. Luo Ya asked a few other questions after hearing the words, and with the questioning, Stewart's pupils kept changing, not just the color of the pupils. Changing, and occasionally even the shape of the pupil changes.
After a series of questions and answers, Luo Ya seemed to be relieved as if he had come to a conclusion, and said in conclusion:
"From the current situation, this fog should have no connection with the [Six Plagues]. Without the iconic human face, the concentration of magic elements is not high. The most important thing is that I don’t feel at all. I’m afraid it’s just pure Weather phenomenon."
After hearing the black-haired teenager's judgment, the three people present were all relieved. If those stubborn scholars are ignorant people who do not experience the horror of the [Six Plagues], then the students of the Kingdom of Knights have been listening since they were young. The horror story of [Six Plagues] grew up, and it is a good thing to be able to avoid confrontation with the shadow of childhood.
After discovering that it was a false alarm, Stewart was hit by Serena and others for reducing the dimension and was punished to watch the night alone, while on the other side, the black-haired boy looked at the map and began to think again.
Although it is basically possible to determine that what appeared in the front is not [Hidden Fog], the occurrence of fog in the core area that should be investigated also aroused the vigilance of the teenagers. Luoya can imagine the situation after the first team, and found that the fog did not attack. After sex, they will definitely rush into it to find the truth. In this way, the fog is almost like bait.
Recalling the discomfort in his heart before, the black-haired teenager gently squinted his golden eyes, and under the dark sky in the distance, a vague figure in the white mist slowly emerged after Stewart's investigation was over. His old pupils stared at Luo Ya's direction for a long time, as if thinking about the source of the inexplicable sight before.
After a long time, the figure who didn't get the answer shook his head, his eyes turned back to the gathering place of many powerful transcendents outside the fog, and the figure slowly disappeared into the depth of the fog over time.
-------------------------------------------------- ----
Early the next morning, some fog began to appear near the camp of Roja and others, but after the teenager actually felt it, he found that it was just ordinary white fog in the mountains, and Stewart who watched the night also reflected the situation, indicating that the fog in the mountain forest ahead of the night Nothing changed.
"In that case, this white mist is just accidental?"
Serena and Juliana who said this were relieved a lot, and the expressions on the face of the teenager who put on the blindfold again relaxed. The atmosphere in the camp gradually returned to relaxed, but Roja still did not relax after thinking about it. alert.
At this time, it may be a coincidence that there is fog in the mountains, but the warning signs in the heart appear simultaneously when the fog rises. Is this also a coincidence?
Looking at the white mist nearby, Luo Ya did not speak out his unfounded worries. He could only let the three of them stay vigilant and not relax, and then make daily routine contact.
The routine contact between the second team and the first team is every morning and evening. This is the habit of both sides. Today, due to the heavy fog, Roja and others will inevitably have some concerns, but it turns out that no accident happened. Paul of the first team The contact image was successfully connected, and the team reported that everything was normal.
For more than a month, Roja has not shown up, so Lilian and others are not aware of his existence, and the girl doesn’t care about anything extra, but the black-haired boy who confirmed that Lilian and others are safe. Feel at ease, and for the next plan, just as Roja expected, the team decided to continue the investigation after discussion.
As the so-called art experts are bold, the faculty and experts in the first team are all high-level transcendents. Although their actual combat experience is not good, and they are not even Roja's opponents at all, they all have the pride of high-level transcendents.
With my own arrogance and there is no special situation after the appearance of the fog, it is no accident that the results of the continued exploration and investigation are not unexpected. It is better to say that the fog in the core area of the disappearance incident has made some people in the team excited. , After all, the investigation team originally came to find clues.
After some exchanges, the two sides began to act again. Roja and others continued to keep a certain distance to explore in the rear. In the next few days, it was like admitting the courage of the investigation team. Although there was still fog every day, but there was no What is abnormal.
This sudden white fog usually rises at night and stays until early morning, and disappears as the sun rises. It has no special impact on the investigation. Originally, Serena and others were still on guard. , But over time, everyone gradually got used to this situation.
The originally dull atmosphere in the team gradually changed. The girl with the blood of the sacred beast rose up again, and Juliana’s night hunting resumed. At dinner, everyone was still noisy around the campfire, robbing every day. The right to order from Chef Roja.
Under the leadership of such a group of problematic children, Roja's tense nerves relaxed slightly. In fact, after that night, the ominous feeling in Roja's heart never appeared again. Everything before that seemed like an illusion, slowly Overwhelmed by daily life.
"Selina, can you stop going to the chairman's tent? If you do this, I must report to Master True Ancestor."
"Huh? Why do I need to be taken care of by you where I go? Besides, Roja is just helping me calm my blood."
"If it weren't for the task of Master Alisa, I wouldn't bother to care about you, you, wouldn't you be interesting to the president, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
It was another day when night fell, Juliana and the brown-haired girl who was startled by the sudden question quarreled again, while on the other side Stewart was using extraordinary vision to alert the surroundings. Such routine scenes were staged as usual. It didn't end until Roja announced the start of the meal.
Having a meal and chatting together has become the only fun for everyone in this journey without any means of entertainment. After eating, drinking, talking and laughing, white fog floats in the forest at night again, but now this little thing is gone. People care, except for Juliana who was watching the night, Roja and others went back to their tents to rest after inspecting the camp.
This seemed to everyone as usual, no different day, but when Roja returned to the tent to lie down and rest, watching the silver moon in the sky gradually enter his dreamland, a unique sense of uncertainty suddenly appeared. The young man's heart exploded, causing Roja to suddenly sit up like a nightmare.
"!"
The young man who got up stared wide-eyed and panted, recalling the feeling that his body seemed to be filled with lead in his sleep, a familiar familiarity emerged in his heart, but he hadn't waited for him to remember where he had experienced this feeling, witch The voice of the king suddenly sounded.
"I just wanted to wake you up, but I didn't expect you to have noticed it. My instinct is good."
"Altacia? Could it be that just now..."
Looking at the white-haired witch who suddenly appeared in the tent, Roja's complexion instantly became dignified, and seeing Roja like this, Altasia also put away her smile, nodded in response to the teenager's question.
"Yes, it's a fallen one."
-------------------------------------------------- -----
The body is heavy and the curse power can hardly be mobilized. This unique sense of crisis is one of the few in the impression of a black-haired boy. If you think about it carefully, it is actually very similar to a certain feeling before, such as... When the fire of Roja's life was held by someone.
After Altacia gave a reminder, the black-haired boy immediately remembered the familiar feeling, and then rushed out of the tent.
"No, Juliana, there are enemies nearby!"
"Hey? The enemy?"
When Roja rushed out of the tent, the black-haired and red-eyed girl was sitting on the fallen log drinking tea. She was dumbfounded after listening to the boy's words. Fortunately, because of Roja's authority during this period, the boy's words were astonishing. But still being taken seriously, Juliana stood up in a flash of red in her eyes after a short while.
"Where? The barrier didn't react at all, how did you find it?"
The blood girl who magically took out the thick long sword from the skirt squinted her eyes and scanned the surroundings vigilantly. With the noise, Serena and Stewart, who had not been asleep, also ran out of the tent. After coming out, everyone's eyes were gathered on the boy, and Roja was urgently analyzing the situation.
Although in order to immediately alert everyone, he said that there was an enemy, but after getting out of the tent, Roja didn't notice anything, so there was only one possibility.
"Quick! Contact a team urgently, it should be their side who was attacked!"
"understand!"
Although he didn't know Roja's basis, Stewart also knew that this kind of thing was definitely not a joke, and hurriedly activated the spell used for communication with Serena, while on the other side, Roja was thinking quickly.
Now that I have felt it and have Altasiya’s testimony, the enemy must have begun to act. The previous feeling of heavy body and blood seems to stop is very similar to [collector] interfering in the blood of Acate’s family at that time, except This time it was not Roja who used a similar spell to attack, but Lilian.
Roja, who realized that the girl was attacked, was furious, and at the same time confirmed the faint thoughts in his heart. This so-called Blay Town incident is probably a trap set by the fallen to attract the blood of Akat. After all, it is for the awakened of the Akat family. Said, [Hidden Mist] is not only a monster, but also a new crown stone.
The ability obtained in the Crown Stone is one of Roja’s long-standing assassins, and its strength is evident. In the eyes of those fallen desperadoes, I am afraid that for such a powerful force, the blood of the Akate family has awakened. Someone must do something.
Roja, who had figured out the causes and consequences, was extremely anxious, but because of this critical moment, the teenager's thinking became clearer. Looking at Stewart and others who tried to contact urgently but had been unanswered, Roja picked up the map and looked carefully. Check the location of the last call between the two parties this evening.
"This evening a team was already very close to this abandoned town called Marin Town. They should be spending the night in this town tonight, Stewart, let's see the situation!"
Under Roja's order, the man wearing the blindfold once again revealed his pupils with changing colors, and looked towards the northwest according to the directions on the map, and then couldn't help but change his face.
"Fog, very thick fog, but there is no feeling of being alive, it is not [Six Plagues], wait... the curse power fluctuates very strongly, it is man-made!"
Stewart, who switched his eyes to detect the enemy's situation, said so decisively, while Serena, who kept making contact requests on the other side, also gained something.
"Roya, it's connected!"
"Ok?"
"Passed? What did you say over there?"
Roja and the others rushed over to hear Serena’s surprise voice and cast their sights on the image. However, what puzzled everyone was that in the image of the curse, except for the wafting fog and rumbling, the sound resembling the rubbing of a stone. There was nothing left, this screen lasted for about ten seconds, and then the communication was interrupted again.
"..."
Looking at the dark scene again, Roja and others couldn't help but fall into silence. Even if it is optimistic, Serena knows that there is definitely something wrong with the first team, and if there is no wrong guess, it should be unknown. Character attack.
After confirming that a team had lost contact, Luo Ya and others immediately crushed the emergency call for help in accordance with the rules and regulations to notify the academy, and sent out several call for help signal flares. After leaving the travel notes and other materials, the four people brought the necessary The items immediately approached the abandoned town.
According to Roja's feeling, the time when the first team was attacked should be just now, so as long as the action is fast, Roja and others should be able to join the battle at a critical moment.
The few people who were determined to support urgently moved quickly. As they continued to march, the fog around Roja and others became thicker and stronger, and the fluctuations in the nearby curse power gradually increased. No one spoke on the road, and there was only the sound of wind in the quiet night. As he approached the town, Stewart looked ahead and let out a sudden cry.
"that is!"
"Stewart, what's the matter?"
"There was a man lying on the side of the road ahead."
"people?"
Luo Ya and the others who heard Stewart’s words changed their expressions and accelerated their pace to rush forward. Soon after, they saw a person lying down under the tree in front of them, but it was different from the imagination of Luo Ya and others. Not the experts and scholars in the first team.
The people who fell face down on the ground were ragged and had white hair. This attire was obviously not in line with the style of experts in the Kingdom of Scholars, but even so, Luo Ya and others did not die.
"Are these residents who haven't left after the town was abandoned?"
"It seems to be, but this age is too big to escape..."
"President, do you want to take it away?"
Looking at the unconscious old man, Serena and the others showed an unbearable look. Luo Ya also hesitated for a while. After all, everyone is going to save people. Not to mention the danger, that is, the route and the old man who desperately ran out. Quite the contrary, it doesn't seem appropriate to bring people back now regardless of their will.
And although they are all lives, Serena and the others are dragged down for the sake of unrelated people, in case there is an accident...
Thinking of the possible consequences, Luo Ya's face became serious, and after thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
"Heal, set up a small barrier, leave some supplies and leave. It will only be more dangerous to let him follow us."
After listening to the black-haired boy's order, Serena and the others nodded understandingly, but just as Juliana wanted to be treated, the old man suddenly woke up and began to struggle violently.
"Ah! You, you guys!"
"Calm down! We are here to save you, can you tell us what happened?"
Facing the panicked and obviously insanity old man, Roja stepped forward and asked calmly about the situation in the town, trying to try his luck to inquire about some information, and divert his attention by the way, but what he didn't expect was that he saw After Roja, the white-haired old man suddenly fell silent, his eyes fixed on the black-haired boy motionless, his pupils gradually contracted and began to glow.
This is, regained sanity?
The young man felt so relieved and gestured to Juliana who was preparing for treatment. However, just as Roja wanted to ask about the situation in the town, a familiar word came into the young man's ears like a thunderbolt.
"...Roja, brother."
"Hey?"
On the side of the road, the black-haired young man who heard the old man call it so stiffened, and the golden pupils in his wide-eyed eyes suddenly shrank.
