Chapter 74 The Ghost Castle in the Forest

The Shadow Isles sit on the vast, boundless Sea of ​​Eternity.

It took several months to sail east to reach the Far Eastern continent where Kamavia was located.

The closest tropical rainforest of Ixtar to the west, and almost deserted Amaranxin, is also hundreds of nautical miles away.

Back when it was Fuguang Island, this area was inaccessible due to the thick fog that would cause the navigation to lose its direction, but there were still boats on the island.

Afterwards, Blessed Isle became a shadow island devouring life, and the evil black mist swept across the sea from time to time, expanding involuntarily every year.

Except for the desperate scavengers who are desperate and trying to go to the island to find treasures, no one will approach this dark sea area.

Leaving without a boat to take is a big problem.

Due to the burden on the body caused by using transcendence for too long, Josh could not support long-distance arcane flight.

According to Josh's original plan, he would take Gwen to fly away from Shadow Island, at least away from the range where the black mist disturbed the spiritual realm.

Then, he will use the warp to teleport with Gwen to the Python Islands of the Baru Sect to inquire about the refugees on Blessed Island.

According to estimates, they probably need to go to the area between the Shadow Isles and the coast of Amalanxin, where they should be able to completely get rid of the influence of the black mist.

This is the conclusion of Josh's insight into the decreasing degree of pollution in the spiritual field.

Not only that, but this is almost the limit distance of arcane teleportation with transcendent blessing.

And they are now located in the range of Hylia, which belongs to the southern end of the Shadow Isle, and they need to travel a dangerous distance to the north.

Josh can still bear the distance of several hundred miles.

What's more, with the help of his own scissors, the special magic intertwined with runes and spirits, Gwen also has a certain ability to fly.

However, despite a good plan, there will always be accidents along the way.

The access to the northern islands can be through the ancient forest area, which is a straight line passing through two points, the shortest route.

But now, it is more appropriate to call the ancient forest area "Twisted Forest".

Maokai, whose appearance has been distorted by the Curse of Ruin, still inhabits this place, and his attitude towards humans has changed from absolute neutrality to hatred.

Before the Curse of Ruin, it was impossible for Maokai to treat Josh with the Darkborn, and now he will not be allowed to pass, and there is a high probability that he will shoot directly.

But to avoid the ancient forest area, the area that needs to be detoured is large.

The water of life has bred many magical species.

When the ruins devoured everything, these also affected magic species were distorted by the magic power of the filthy curse, and even dared to attack Josh and Gwen against the pressure of the world runes.

In the dilapidated woods, Gwen pulled the luminous magic thread, brought back dozens of enlarged sewing needles, and quickly restored them to their original shape.

A sprite with four heads, its cheeks glued together, completely distorted, unable to see its original appearance, completely dissipated under the baptism of the lead wires with the haze breath.

"Another one!" Gwen raised the corners of her lips, looked at Josh and said excitedly, "I'm getting better and better!"

It's like when a child does a good thing and shows it off to the elders, hoping to be recognized.

"Good job." Josh didn't look in Gwen's direction, with a slightly perfunctory tone, "But we shouldn't waste time here... Come here quickly."

"Oh."

Gwen's passionate emotions were hit by Josh's attitude, and soon fell to the bottom, pouted a little sullenly, but still trotted to Josh's side.

Along the way, Gwen dealt with most of the evil spirits that attacked without knowing their life and death, and only those she couldn't resist would Josh take action to eliminate.

Josh didn't explain it for the time being, and Gwen didn't know that the reason why he didn't make a move was because Gwen's haze could completely kill the Mist Walker.

But sometimes, this little girl who has just been freed and thinks it is her responsibility to eradicate the evil spirits will always be red-eyed.

If Josh hadn't reminded her many times, she might be led to some dangerous place by the undead.

If it continues like this, how many days will it take to leave this island?

Time has resumed flowing, and it has been a long time since the last dinner, and Josh can vaguely hear his stomach complaining.

After thinking for a moment, Josh called Gwen to a foul-smelling gray-green swamp that lay across their path.

He pointed to the gurgling bubbles that surged up from the viscous liquid, and reminded:

"This used to be the source of the stream that irrigated the fields, and there are many dilapidated mud toads underneath. I don't know their ability to become dilapidated, but the poison is certain... Do you want to get rid of them too?"

Gwen covered her mouth and nose, and couldn't help taking two steps back, with disgust and disbelief in her eyes, "Josh! You..."

"just kidding."

【Haha, this joke is really funny. ] Lunicia said as if reading.

"Oh!" Gwen puffed up her face and said angrily, "Please stop making such jokes on girls!"

"Sorry, Miss Gwen, I just wanted to remind you a little bit that we've been here for hours."

Josh shrugged and spread his hands, "According to my original plan, after such a long time, we should have arrived at the scheduled location and left here."

Realizing that the problem came from herself, Gwen couldn't help but blush, and the slight anger that had arisen disappeared instantly, feeling embarrassed.

"It's me who should apologize!" Gwen's little head shook like a rattle, "I won't make any more trouble!"

……

……

Gwen obeyed Josh's arrangement and stopped taking the initiative.

Arcane carried the two of them across the swamp, and the rest of the journey went smoothly.

When they arrived in a confused jungle, Josh and Gwen encountered a predatory spirit wrapped in white robes and masks that could summon more curses to the dead, and entangled them for a moment.

It wasn't until they reached the middle of the island that Gwen grabbed Josh's clothes again and stopped him suddenly: "Josh, can you wait a moment?"

Josh gradually dissipated the arcane energy, and smoothly placed them in an open space with a fairly wide field of vision among the dead woods.

"what happened?"

Gwen hesitated to speak, biting her lips in a very tangled look, "I..."

"Am I that scary?" Seeing her appearance, Josh couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to ask about that magic castle in the forest?"

Gwen looked up in surprise, and Josh's eyes met with the strange eyes that mortals could not replicate.

Before Gwen could speak, Josh guessed her thoughts, "You can feel the magic breath, don't you think I can't?"

"Too."

But in the next second, Gwen's expression became tangled again, "Can we take a look? I have a hunch... If I don't go, I will definitely regret it."

"no problem."

Josh's eyes looked in the direction of the source of the magic power, and temporarily pulled out the World Rune Transcendence that had been integrated into his body, and put it back into the box in the cloth bag.

The aura of those ghosts was very similar to Gwen, and it was also born of the combination of Holy Haze and the magic of "turning stillness into movement" of the Wasani tribe.

Even if Gwen didn't mention it, Josh would have to check the situation.

But to use the power of the world rune, the designation will scare the ghosts who feel no malice.

"thank you so much!"

Gwen looked happy, and ran to the front excitedly.

The world rune has been put away, and the Mistwalkers who followed around are ready to move again.

In order to avoid accidents for Gwen, Josh followed immediately.

The two did not walk through the rugged forest and some ruins for too long, and soon arrived in front of a magnificent white palace that seemed to be made of white porcelain.

Each pair of handsome men and women wore gold metal eye patches, and wore blue and white intertwined gowns and evening dresses, which were somewhat similar in style to Gwen's gothic dress.

[Doll castle, turned into ghost dolls and men and women... After this boring island was run down, it really became more and more interesting. 】

When the main entrance of the palace slowly opened, each pair of ghost men and women entered the more luxurious and luxurious hall in an orderly manner.

Soon, there were only Josh and Gwen standing side by side outside.

At this time, there was a fat man wearing a white mask and a loose blue dress robe, his blue hair curled up in two pieces, tied with multiple blue bows, and his hairstyle was somewhat similar to Gwen's. walked out.

He waved the same blue and pink cute bow tied in his right hand, like a baton of arrows, several crystal powder butterflies composed of haze and Vasani magic power flew out from the top, flapped their wings a few times and dissipated into particles , reintegrating into the mansion's magic flow.

The chubby man squinted his eyes and smiled, saluted Josh and Gwen, with a hearty and honest voice, and said in a proficient Kamavian language:

"A cordial invitation to two couples to come to 'Midnight Carnival' for a party of a lifetime!"
