A thick fog stood in front of everyone, almost as thick as a wall.Hao Ren stopped in front of the thick fog and looked to both sides, and found that the wall of fog spread all the way to the end of the field of vision, and gradually closed in the distance.Thick fog blocked the town, and there were no roads ahead."
I'm afraid this is the boundary of the town," Vivien paused, her hand cautiously reaching into the thick mist, a strange, slippery and warm touch coming from the mist, "The scope of the secret realm is limited, and there should be no further walk." ”"Why don't you leave?
Keep up, keep up—" Hermowen's voice came from the side, and he was about to step into the fog, only to find Hao Ren and the others all stopped in place, "Hurry up, hurry up, the devil may run away......"
"You can't see such a big fog?"
”Hao Ren pointed to the fog wall in front of him, "No matter how you look at it, you shouldn't go inside." ”Heimerwin was a little stunned, and he turned his head to look at the foggy town border: "Fog?
What fog?
What could be better weather than this?
I can see the shadow of the old mill from here. ”Everyone was stunned: this "ghost" could not see the dense fog blocking the border of the town.Hao Ren just wanted to ask something more, Hemerwin had already raised his legs and walked into the fog wall, and then a magical scene appeared: as Heimerwin stepped forward, the dense fog around him slowly retreated as if it was alive, and the shadows of roads and vegetation gradually appeared in the original chaotic fog, these things appeared abruptly as if they were born from the fog, and extended forward along Heimerwin's footsteps.Hao Ren didn't know what was going on, but he still pulled Vivian's arm: "Everyone follow." ”The fog seemed to have no end, it was overwhelming, completely blocking the entire space outside the town, and after only a few minutes after entering the thick fog, everyone could no longer see the direction from which they came, only the endless fog in all directions was constantly rolling a few meters away from the team, and the road stretched forward in this extremely limited area.In this chaos, Lily grabbed Hao Ren's sleeve with some uneasiness: "Landlord, will we get lost?"
”"You can't look down and smell it yourself?"
Vivien gave Lily a blank look, "As a canine, you're afraid of getting lost, and your talent is all about eating spicy strips?"
”Lily blinked and rubbed her nose, "That's right." ”"It's okay," Hao Ren comforted her, "I just left the beacon transmitter at the entrance of the dense fog, don't get separated, we can teleport back." ”Nangong May looked at Hemerwin, who was walking in front, and tugged on his brother's sleeve: "Why can a ghost open a way in the thick fog?"
”"Because he 'remembers' these," Nangong Sanba frowned, "Although the principle is not very certain, it seems that this town is composed of two parts: the main body of the town is the real material world, and all the supernatural parts—such as the spirits, the ashes, Hemerwin himself, and the dense fog that sealed the town, are derived from 'memory'."
Seeing the whole town as a giant consciousness, the remnants of what happened to it have become these phenomena in front of our eyes.Because memories are always unstable, these phenomena are basically supernatural. ”Hao Ren looked at Nangong Sanba suspiciously: "Why do you suddenly understand so much?"
”"I haven't learned anything else in the past hundred years, so I've learned how to deal with the ghost world," Nangong Sanba puffed up his chest quite complacently, "Werewolves can't be beaten, the blood clan can't be provoked, if you want to make a living, then all you have to do is help people catch ghosts or something."
However, it is the first time I have seen such a large-scale spiritual realm in front of me, but no matter how large the scale, the basic principles are the same, matter, memory, and soul together form a supernatural space, which is what we see. ”Hao Ren sighed, and said in his heart that he didn't know how Nangong Sanba held his chest and said "The werewolf can't be beaten, and the blood clan can't be provoked......
Led by Hemmerwin, the group went deep into the fog, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, Hao Ren noticed that the road under his feet had turned uphill: the team should be climbing a small flat plateau.With some impatience, Hethanna asked the temporary guide in front of her, "How far is Hemerwin, how far is it?"
”Taken aback by the sudden sound behind him, Hemerwin shrunk his neck and pointed ahead: "Oh, right ahead, right ahead, you can already see it, the black house is—ah, just wake up, it's already like this." ”The others couldn't see where the "house" was in Hergentwin's eyes, so no one said a word, and it wasn't until after walking a little further that the gentle slope up gradually became straighter, and the team had walked the ramp to an open flat field, and they finally saw the so-called "wizard's hideout".A large, dilapidated house stood alone in front of it on the open ground, surrounded by a thick fog that made it even more eerie.The structure of the large house was simple, with two floors, and there were no superfluous outbuildings around it except for a small Ma Peng, but judging by its size, it should have been a building belonging to the wealthy: at least the commoners of that era could not have been able to afford to live in such a regulated mansion.Hemerwin shrank back a little in fear, and pointed to the entrance to the big house: "He lives here, and almost never gets approached. ”Hao Ren sighed, and after approaching, he looked curiously at the exterior of the house, and found that all the windows of the building except for the main entrance had been nailed by wooden planks, and occasionally a few rotten window panels showed cracks, and a heavy old black cloth could be seen behind them.As a result, the entire building is in a highly enclosed state, and normal people would probably never live in such a house.Vivien glanced at Hermerwin, "You didn't go in and see it?"
”"Enter......
"Once in there," Hemerwin was a little frightened, "it was full of filthy and blasphemous things, and all sorts of deviant books were piled up on the table. ”"It sounds like you're quite resistant to that 'scholar' right now," Hao Ren stared at the change in Heimerwin's expression, "but according to our investigation, you trust the 'scholar' so much that you almost want to hire him as an advisor, and you often discuss issues together." ”Heimer was stunned, and a look of disgust and unease quickly appeared on his face: "I was bewitched at that time!"
It's magic, the power of black magic!
The devil brainwashed me with a spell, and I still can't even remember what I did while I was in control.But I'm awake now and can remember some of the things that happened......
It seems that you are right, that devil is really dead, and the spell he put on me has faded. ”"Perhaps," Hao Ren nodded perfunctorily, dragging Hemerwin towards the house, "You also come in, I need you to continue to be a guide." ”Hemerwin resisted a little, and seemed to be jealous of the room, but when he saw Kassandra and Hethana's ill-intentioned eyes, he honestly lowered his head and obediently cooperated.With a "squeak", Hao Ren pushed open the dusty door for a long time, and immediately a lot of dust fell from the door frame.He took two steps back and waited for the dust to clear, and then he was the first to enter.Lily was glad to draw the fire again to serve as illumination, and the moment the weapon appeared out of thin air, Hemerwin let out a soft cry of surprise, only to be poked by Duncan with the hilt of his stabbing sword.The room was a clutter, with large tables and wooden shelves full of equipment, and the objects and books on these tables and shelves were clearly related to the dark arts: this was indeed the place where the wizard had used."
The fog doesn't seem to have invaded this house," Lily sniffled as she inspected the furnishings, her nose was sensitive to the thick fog outside, and she had sneezed several times when she was outside, but now she was much more comfortable inside, "and it's strange that there's no ash here." ”There was a thick layer of dust all over the house, but there was no black ash: it seemed that the strange ash phenomenon only lasted within the confines of the town.The group began to look through the materials and books that the wizard had left on the table, and when Hemerwin noticed that no one was paying attention to him, he sniffled, found a corner, and sat down cautiously, as if it were a stone statue.Hao Ren saw a large open book on the large table in the center of the room, and a sentence on the book attracted his attention: "On the other side of the gate, distort the secret knowledge of the kingdom." ”(To be continued.) )
