Shadow Covenant

Chapter 195 "Return"

It didn't take long for this commotion to startle Cecil, who was meditating in the carriage, and the team also stopped in this familiar gray field.

Some people have already recognized this location as they entered the Farrell Mountains not long ago, only about one kilometer away from the road to the mountain. The exposed and protruding rocks on the surface have formed various strange shapes under the erosion of water and wind. This is a typical rocky beach in the dry period.

"There is no fluctuation of magic."

Cecil stared at the remaining fog among the distant mountains, and said in a puzzled tone.

She spent a lot of effort just now, detecting magic, detecting enchantments, and detecting evil auras, but basically she used all kinds of detection spells that she could use, but the results brought back were all infinite. After returning from success, the mountain range of Nuoda actually has no remnants of the fluctuation of magic aura.

"Woody, what do you think?"

She set her sights on Woody who had been by her side from the very beginning.

"See with golden eyes with tactical goggles..."

Although Woody really wanted to complain like this, but when the words came to his lips, he honestly replaced the belly draft that had already been typed.

"It may be a curse. I heard from Tesia that all the local residents of the Golden River Valley cannot leave this fog, but she said before that the range of the dense fog has been limited to the outskirts of several towns, there is no Including the entire Golden River Valley."

"Oh, is that so?"

Woody didn't go into such detail yesterday, mainly because no one thought that the mist would cause trouble for them. After all, since the birth of the mist, River Valley City has cut off relations with everyone and stopped trading for several years, but they have never heard of it. Who is trapped in the Golden River Valley and cannot leave, otherwise, as long as one caravan has an accident, the current marching route of the Fudong Merchant Group will change, and they may choose to leave from the west of the Forest of Whispers. Many black crows and high cliffs...

Of course, it is too late to say these things now. The current problem is how to leave the Golden River Valley. In terms of time, neither Cecil nor Woody can afford to delay. Every day wasted means It means that their next journey will be much more compact and no longer rich.

Cecil was also lost in thought, because just now someone suggested whether to go back to Maple Leaf Bay first, find the girl to ask for clarification before making a plan, but she and Woody have the same idea.

"Let's wait and see if Quan and the others come back."

This is when Cecil and Woody found out that they had returned to the Golden River Valley, they immediately dispatched a relatively powerful five-member guard team from the Fury Winter Merchant Group, as well as a single-person guard team who was familiar with the terrain and had stronger individual strength. The soldiers fought and went to the valley road they had just set foot in, in order to test whether the black mist resisted the departure of all creatures, starting simply from the number.

If they could all leave, then Cecil would break up the entire caravan without hesitation and leave safely under the protection of the guards.

But what if...

Before she could continue to think about it, several whistles sounded from a distance, which was a signal for communication. Cecil quickly looked up and found that a group of people in full suit came out from the same location not far from the mountains. The armed guards, they are very fast, all riding horses, looking from a distance, they look like knights breaking through the thick fog to rescue the suffering people.

But it was not the case. When Cecil saw the attire, there was a little disappointment in her eyes. It was none other than Quan and the others she had just sent out. Obviously, they couldn't leave the Golden River Valley either.

That... now only the one who left alone remained silent.

This is the only hope for the whole team, but Cecil has already started to prepare for the foot of the mountain, preparing to go to the Golden River Valley, because if only one person can pass through, then Cecil can't guarantee the lives of those merchants, so Even if one person could leave, as the owner of the caravan, she still couldn't do it like this.

Woody was not as disappointed as Cecil. At this time, he was patiently grooming a dizzy black bird. The pattern on the back of his hand was already dim. He had released the "Eye of Crows" not long ago, and he had already I have prepared, and I don't have any expectations for the single person who has not yet appeared.

Just because of the current situation and all these weirdnesses, he became more and more sure about one thing.

That is the current Golden River Valley, which is very likely to be surrounded by a natural mystic, but for some unknown reason, the current mystical includes all creatures in the Golden River Valley as objects.

Not even a bird can fly out...

It can only be described as outrageous, but Woody knows that the expanded enchantment or mystical chain this time is not aimed at him, or the Fury Winter Merchant Group, but with the cloaked girl who escaped from Yellowstone Town. It is related to West Asia, and this curse of expanding scope is obviously also a "patch" set for her.

Woody could also figure out that there was a loophole in the mystic that originally covered the aboriginal territory of the Golden River Valley, allowing the girl who couldn't escape to leave the enveloping range of the mystical.

In order to regain the girl, this Misuo installed several temporary updates.

Such as "The scope of the mysia is expanded... The types of mysia creatures increase...."

Very intelligent.

Woody wanted to complain, but found that he was still in prison and couldn't get out, so he couldn't complain.

The primary goal now is to find out whether it is related to Tecia.

If so.

Natesia was captured back, so does it mean that the scope of the mythos will return to its original appearance.

Woody was confused.

Of course, part of it was because Woody had no memory of this little girl in his previous life.

He had never been to Huangshi Town before. At that time, he just wandered around River Valley City and rushed to the south non-stop. At that time, Tesia's name was not among the famous npc names in the city, so for a while, he didn't know Did she die in the final episode?

But Woody thought about it again, these are actually not problems, and it is not the first time he has changed his life.

Destroying the direction of the story is what players like them are good at.

Therefore, Woody does not agree with the concept of fate to a certain extent. He has always believed that only after doing his best, he is qualified to accept fate. Otherwise, he is not worthy. You have tried hard and never tried. How can you say that you can't succeed.

"Let's go."

Cecil came over at this moment.

The caravan in the distance has also started to turn under the leadership of the head horse. This time, they are no longer heading towards the forest, but towards the boundless wilderness on the gentle slope.

"Going to find her?"

Woody didn't say it clearly, but he obviously knew that Cecil should have guessed the reason why he couldn't leave now.

"Well, either she takes us out, or we take her to meet the lord, if it's his fault... then... let's talk about it later!"

Because of the Bronze Dragon, Cecil couldn't have too much dislike for the cloaked girl. Perhaps she might give up directly if she were someone else. After all, this is the rationality of a spellcaster.

But the attitude of the bronze dragon Doni naturally occupies a large proportion. If its opinions are added, there is no problem in offending a lord who rules the city-state.

"That's fine too."

"Then come to my carriage, I have some questions I want to ask you later." Cecil obviously wants to know more about Tesia now, Woody knew it in his heart, but he didn't refuse, nodded and nodded.

"Understood, I will go in a while."

He planned to wait and see again, to see if the fog in the distance would still be so dense after he left. He hadn't given up completely, and wanted to try to see if he could find any loopholes in it.

Myslock does not mean absolute security, it is just a program in essence, and as long as it runs, there will be some loopholes.

In his last life, he also found and saw many mythos loopholes. Those loopholes were large and small. The most famous one was a treasure mythlock that guarded the ancient kingdom. Only those with the blood of the ancient kingdom Creatures entered the mystic and obtained the amount of gold coins worth millions at the time, and anyone who tried to break in would be bounced off the mystical.

And because the ancient bloodline had been cut off, a bunch of people at that time had no way to take that mythical lock.

After all, even a legendary mage can't consume the power in Misuo's body, because the cores of that Misuo all come from the elemental world, so it can be said to be impregnable.
But in the end, the millions of treasures still fell into the hands of people, and the fan lock was still operating normally.

It's not because that person has any ancient kingdom blood.

Instead, some spellcasters discovered that the program of the mysia is to block all creatures that want to break in and approach, that is to say, this kind of program cannot block the intrusion of creatures that are unconscious, targetless, or unaware.

Then the final solution to the problem is very simple.

Random delivery.

Although it is possible to teleport a person into a rock or tree and get stuck directly, it can perfectly avoid the influence of the Mystic.

However, Woody waited and watched many times, but still did not see the fog dissipating. Obviously, it was not the pattern in memory.

Woody couldn't help sighing in his heart. It seems that according to this trend, it seems a bit logical to come into contact with the Feathered Serpent... The ascension ceremony...

"Woody, Woody."

Just when Woody fell into daydreams about the changing future, he was awakened by the call. He turned his head and found that Cecil was waving to him not far away. Obviously, when he was watching just now, she had been waiting impatiently. .

"I'm coming!"

As Woody replied, he glanced at the distant mountains again.

At this time, the top of the gray fog-shrouded mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist. Under the starlight, the still verdant forest appeared and disappeared in the clouds and mist, which was normal and strange.

However, if you look at it from a high place, you will find that the green of this mountain range is vaguely like overlapping green scales, so that, along the direction of the entire mountain range, you will find a winding snake, Impressively displayed around the Golden River Valley.

At this time, inside the carriage, just as Woody walked into the carriage, Cecil kept asking Tesia for information.

"What does she look like, what are the features on her face, how tall is she, what kind of clothes are she wearing..."

It's something very basic but generally not asked.

"Also, show me the herbs she sold to you."

At the same time, Cecil did not forget to collect information.

Woody vaguely guessed what she wanted to do, so he honestly gave Cecil some of the herbs that he had just bought from Tesia and had not yet been used in the future.

When it comes to the last question.

"You mean that she had to leave Huangshi Town because of her mother, and she wanted to go to the Elf Market to get the healing potion?"

"Correct."

Cecil, who had written a large piece of paper, also let the magic servant put down the quill in his hand contentedly.

"Okay, with these, we should be able to find them!"

……

Soon, a search for Tecia was also quietly launched.

Not long after, several bright-eyed birds flew out from above the carriage, and flew towards several directions at a flying speed.

In addition to Maple Leaf Bay, there is another location facing the Gorgon Mountains...

……

Perhaps because of the late night, the hustle and bustle gradually calmed down. Tesia, who was walking in the wilderness, looked calm, walking on the gravel beach, her feet were unusually stable.

Not long after Woody's convoy left, she also left Maple Leaf Bay, but she left in a different direction from them, the Farrell Mountains and the Gorgon Mountains, one in the northwest and one in the east, not to mention It's the opposite, but the difference is about 130 degrees or more.

Tesia originally thought that he would never meet them again, and even if he did, it would be a long time later.

It may be today a year later, or it may be many years later.

But she didn't expect this day to come so early.

"Give up struggling! Still running, where are you going?! You bastard!"

"You are dead! Little guy! The city lord will definitely not spare you!"

"Open the barrier, or I'll take your skin off!"

……

Threats, yelling and scolding were endless, Tesia was terrified.

About a day's journey away from Maple Leaf Bay, and about half a day's journey away from the Gorgon Mountains, Tesia encountered the lingering group of guards from Hegu Town.

They rode black war horses, yelling, and frantically circled around her, but they couldn't get even half a step closer.

She knew that it all depended on the talisman in her hand, otherwise, she would have been taken back by these damned guards long ago.

But when the talisman was in use, she couldn't move at all, that is to say, the situation was deadlocked for a while.

Tesia was very anxious. Although she knew that with the talisman, they would not be able to hurt her at all, but if this continued, she would not be able to save her mother.

This is how to do!
Also at this time.

A blue portal with a height of three to four meters appeared directly in front of her, and then an extraordinarily luxurious four-horse carriage rushed into view.

Pulling the reins of the carriage was a young adventurer who had not been separated from her for a long time, a young man who claimed to be Woody.
