In a small village with a population of only a few hundred, the banquet lasted until midnight, and the food and wine were constantly served to the long table as if they could grow out of thin air, and Hao Ren even began to wonder if the feast would continue forever, like the flow of time in a reincarnation—but the feast was finally over, when Lily was already snoring with her rice bowl.When the feast was gone, the villagers gathered in the square seemed to be immersed in endless festivities, young men and women began to dance an ancient dance around the bonfire, and others were noisy and drank the rest of the wine, which seemed numb and vulgar during the day, and at night it was as if they had acquired some kind of spiritual power......
Vivid is vivid, and the most appropriate word that Hao Ren thought of was it.Catherine and the Wang brothers had joined the villagers in the ensuing festivities, and Pierre was not exempt from the fact that he was dragged by the two village girls to the campfire, at least for now he seemed to be enjoying the pleasure.However, Hao Ren and his entourage politely refused the invitation of the old village chief and the other villagers, and they asked to go back to the longhouse to rest on the grounds that they were tired from coming from afar, and after some negotiations, this request was satisfied.The longhouse is some distance from the central square, but the noise in the square can still be heard clearly on this side of the longhouse.The first thing Hao Ren and his entourage did after they came back was to check their physical condition, and in addition to self-perception, they also asked the data terminal to do a comprehensive scan of everyone."
It's normal," the data terminal said after the final examination of Hao Ren's body, "The things you ate before do have some kind of weird magical reaction, it seems to be something born of magic, but the effect of these magic on your physique is minimal. ”“…… This heartless person can eat at least six people's meal," Hao Ren covered his head and glanced at Lily, who was sleeping on the low bed next to her, "She's not worried at all." ”Lily's strong and tenacious biological clock is working, and she is currently in a state of thunder, and the husky girl who has eaten her fill is sleeping in a ball, and she has no reaction to Hao Ren's evaluation."
There's nothing in the world that can stop a husky from putting food in their mouth, except for the pile of 'Emperor's Amazement' you brought back last time," Vivien glanced at Hao Ren, "What do you think is going on in this place?"
Could it be that Hercules has arranged some powerful secret blockade here in order to avoid the eyes of the witchers?
”Hao Ren shook his head: "I can't see any clue yet, I can only be sure that the atmosphere in the village is extremely weird, but I estimate that soon we will know the reason, that Pierre is obviously still ......"
Before he finished speaking, a sound of footsteps came from outside, followed by a few knocks on the door, and Pierre's voice sounded: "You haven't rested yet, have you?"
”Hesperius got up to open the door, and Vivien threw a small bat out the window, then nodded, "He came alone, and he seems to have gotten rid of the villagers." ”After Pierre entered the house, Hao Ren poured a glass of water for the other party: "I thought you couldn't get out." ”At this time, Pierre's performance was really completely different from the previous banquet, he swept away the previous calm and comfortable appearance of adapting to the environment, replaced by a face full of seriousness and worry, he took the oak water cup handed by Hao Ren, hesitated for a long time and still didn't drink: "I'd better not touch these things again."
This is a cursed place. ”"We know there's something wrong with this place," Hesperius said casually, leaning against the door, "but what's the matter with the curse?"
”"This is ......"
Pierre gave her curious glances at Hao Ren and Vivien, gesturing at Hesperius and Lily who were snoring, "They're 'yours' too, aren't they?"
Can I be lucky enough to know who they are?
”The curiosity of the spirit detective really does not weaken under any circumstances."
Oh, you almost saw them last time," Hao Ren didn't mind, pointing to the two companions and introduced, "This is a descendant of Olympus, her real name is Hesperius, if you have studied mythology, you should know who she is."
This ...... sleeping Well, she is the overlord of the Northland Snow Field, known as the low-level version of Fenrir......"
Vivien was a little overwhelmed by Hao Ren's choice of words: "You say that the Demon Hunter Emperor is stronger than the low-level Fenrir." ”Hao Ren pouted: "That's right, when I mention the first emperor, I can't help but think of the collapse of the Middle Way......
Although she did collapse back then. ”Pierre didn't know what Hao Ren and Vivien meant, when he first heard the name of Hesperius, his whole person instantly became energetic, and at this time, he looked at the legendary "goddess of dusk" in a daze, and the expression on his face was 100% like looking at the ancient fossil that could walk: "Descendants of Olympus?!"
Oh, my God!
It's worth it for me to be stuck here!
”"Okay, okay, don't mention the past, I'm sad," Hesperius waved his hand vigorously, "or tell me what the curse you just mentioned, and you're really trapped here?"
”Speaking of this, Pierre calmed down in an instant, and the first thing he did was to ask Hao Ren and his party about their mental condition: "Do you have any abnormal feelings now?"
Do you still want to get out of here?
Can you remember how you got here?
”Hao Ren reassured the other party: "Don't worry, we have a high resistance, at least this magic erosion has no effect on us at the moment, you mean the previous food, right?"
It doesn't matter. ”"It's not just food," Pierre said with a serious expression, "from the moment you set foot in this place, this cursed land has been holding you back, and that's what the curse is.You'll have to find a way to get out of here now, and maybe lift the curse from the outside, and I'm afraid you'll be affected if it drags on too long......
Pierre said ...... a little difficult to continue, he remembered that the group of people in front of him were real supernatural creatures, and they really belonged to "that world", and he was probably not able to estimate the strength of this group of "magical creatures" as a half-spirit detective, and he felt that he was a little arrogant.Of course, Hao Ren didn't care about this, he was also very grateful for this kind reminder from Pierre, but he was also very confident: "Don't worry, we know our own ability, and I have taken care of more dangerous places." ”In fact, he wanted to say that he had blown up more dangerous places, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was simply TM being taken to the ditch by the dragon queen, and he had unconsciously accepted the setting of the bomb Ren, so he quickly swallowed this sentence back.Pierre exhaled, "Of course it's best, I don't know how many people have been devoured in this cursed place, and if you don't show up, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." ”"How long have you been stuck here?"
Hao Ren looked at the clothes on Pierre's body, "Look at your state......
It's not a short time. ”Vivien also added, "There are three other people, they are not in the same wave as you, are they?"
Do you know about them?
”"Here, the decay of things cannot be used as a reference for time," Pierre said, looking at his outfit, "some things will last longer, and some things will decay at a higher rate than the outside world, with no regularity."
I've been trapped for two months now, and the two Chinese with the surname Wang seem to have come a year ago, and as for that Catherine......"
Pierre paused and frowned: "I have spoken to her, but she has been completely captured by this land, and all her mind is distorted, and she sometimes thinks that she is born and raised in this village.Only once did I hear from her about the outside world, and she thought that the current president of the United States was George W.
Bush. ”Hao Ren and Vivien looked at each other, and Hesperius spat out slowly, "That was really many years ago. ”"Obviously, being trapped here can make the passage of personal time weird too, and Catherine always felt like she had only been here for a few days," Pierre shrugged, "and in fact I would have lost myself a long time ago if I hadn't been taking potions." ”"Why are you here?"
Hao Ren asked curiously."
In search of the secrets of antiquity, or not?"
Pierre smiled wryly, "Spirit detectives are scavengers who follow the words of the fragments of history, I saw this place in some broken ancient books, and some descendants of ancient families called this the land of damnation, so I came to see if there was any relic that could be unearthed here, and I almost put myself in it."
Hey, I was seriously injured by an evil spirit when I was looking for a secret tower last year, and I just recovered two months ago, but I didn't expect to come across such a place again. ”Vivien looked at Pierre for a moment, then suddenly patted the latter on the shoulder: "Young man, listen to my advice, you are not suitable for this profession - you are naturally good at putting yourself in all kinds of fatal situations." ”Pierre: "......"
