After the separation of Megalois and Knox, the fog in the depths of the woodland grew thicker, and Eric and Bourcho had to move closer to each other, not daring to go too far.

Thanks to Bourjoy's rune spells, the fog can obscure the view, but it can't interfere with the direction in which the runes hover.

As for firing the rune in his hand to find out the situation, Bourgeo did not dare to do so.

He knew very well that if he wanted to transmit the information back, the power contained in the runes would not be what it was now. And now on the island, Naga is rampant, and there are many owners of extraordinary powers, such as Naingak.

The style of the probing rune is small, and the probing is hidden enough for ordinary people not to be discovered. But for those with extraordinary strength, especially those with high-level extraordinary strength, the power contained in this rune is too much.

Its tiny size will not only not be used as a cover, but will be an exposure, and a very small area has gathered a large amount of energy, which is naturally an anomalous phenomenon.

"Bourcho, can your runes be able to transmit information in a stealthy way? With such a fog, you can't even see clearly under your feet, and it's not easy to find something. ”

Glancing back at the rune in Bourcho's hand, Viscount Eric made a suggestion. This fog covers the mountain, not to mention whether this can avoid the Naga warriors who patrol and guard, even if they find the Naga camp, it can only be in vain.

Bourcho stopped, touched his chin, and fell into thought.

After a while, he spoke: "Lord Viscount, it is theoretically feasible, but it still needs to pay more energy to cover it." ”

While this can be done, the energy cost of maintaining the camouflage is not small. Maybe there are some magic runes that can reduce consumption, but Bourcho can't, so he can only start with some basic principles.

"Moreover, even if you add energy cover, you will be seen at a glance when you encounter a powerful supernatural power controller. There are definitely quite a few powerful Naga on this island, and my strength is ......."

Bourcho paused for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "You also know that by now it has barely begun to open the second node, and trying to hide from those powerful transcendents is tantamount to a fool's dream. ”

Hearing these conclusions, Viscount Eric's face was not good-looking, after all, for the sake of this exploration, Knox chose to turn back by himself with such a heavy injury, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. But now that he has lost the ability to detect because of the fog, he is really sorry for Knox's sacrifice.

However, there may not be an optimal solution for everything, but there will definitely be a better solution, and after thinking for a while, he asked Bourcho: "Then can we only probe not far away, just in front of us, and just explore the ordinary guards and road conditions." As for the specific weakness detection, we can only look at it then. ”

"Yes, Lord Viscount, it's just that if you get too close, once you are discovered, it will be too late to escape. ”

Bourcho did not fail to think that even if he did not approach those of great supernatural power, there was no guarantee that they would not be posted. You may not be able to detect anything too useful if you put it far away, but you still have a chance to escape.

"Run, Bourcho, where else can we escape. If you can't make a plan effectively, even if you run away, it's just a waste. ”

As Viscount Eric said, they won't be able to escape for long even if they want to. If, as Tantalus said, the Lord of Storms and Plagues returns, the people above this ark will only be left to sink into the sea.

In this investigation, it would be better if there was a gain, and if there was no gain, they would not be able to plan anything, so it would be better to fight to the end.

"As long as you avoid the guards on the road, even if you don't have any special means, it's still okay to just probe something. ”

Eric's expression was very determined, after all, there was no turning back.

"Yes, Lord Viscount. It may also consume a little less energy. ”

Strings of never-before-heard words emanated from Bourgeois, and a silvery-white rune condensed in midair. Bourcho clasped his hands together, and a slightly golden thread poked out of his chest, and rushed into the silvery-white rune, making him mottled with gold as well.

That's right, the second node that Bourcho strengthens is the heart. The brain and heart are extremely rare nodes to open up, and once there is a problem with the opening node, the material part that is the carrier will be greatly affected, that is, temporarily stop working.

If it's a place like your hands and feet, it will be inconvenient for a while, but it won't be too much of a problem to get there. Even if it is the lungs, kidneys, and even the spleen, stomach and liver, stopping work for a few minutes or ten minutes will not have a big impact.

But the heart is not the same as the brain, they are the carrier of the soul, and they are also the most important organ of the human body, and a slight damage or cessation of work is enough to destroy a person.

"But Bourcho, you are usually not very bold, and you are not small in the courage to open up nodes. ”

Thinking of Bourcho's feat, Viscount Eric couldn't help but sigh, if it wasn't for the second node to choose the heart, Bourcho wouldn't have been able to complete the stability of the second node, and had been relying on water grinding to rub hard there.

"Hey, Lord Viscount, you know I'm scared of death, right? ”

Bourcho never felt that fear of death was a bad thing, that there was everything in life, and that if he died, everything was a fart. It is precisely for this reason that he has always been oblivious to the purpose of the Holy See. A God who exists only in the mouths of all will use the afterlife as a warning to the living.

But now it's different, there are really gods in this world who represent all things in the world, so if they also have a hell to say, then the living probably have to think about what happens after death.

"It was because I was afraid of death that I chose the brain and the heart. Both of these places are the seat of the soul, and as far as I know, the soul exists. As long as the soul exists, a person has a chance to live, although it is difficult. ”

It is precisely because he is afraid of death that he dares to use low risk to offset high risk, in case something happens, the current payment may be the way out in the future.

"No matter how bad it is, opening up nodes can also strengthen that part of the body, the brain and heart are so important, and more protection is also needed. What's more, even if the combat power I choose is strengthened, how much can I improve, it is better to be an auxiliary honestly. ”

Bourjoy's power is linked to the soul, and the two nodes stabilize the soul's dwelling, nourish the soul, and the rune power is also strengthened and can be used better.

Hearing these explanations, Viscount Eric was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Sure enough, you are still afraid of death." ”

"Well, Lord Viscount, don't laugh, people are not afraid of death, but there are people who are more afraid than death. ”

Bourcho didn't care, he had been through too much, he could see it, and he wouldn't argue with others for a joke or two.

"It's also said, who is not afraid of death, but ...... There's something more frightening than death. ”

Eric's smile faded, replaced by a deep longing, if it weren't for his family, he would have long since stopped caring about his life and fighting with Earl Rabbittail. But there are some things that are more difficult to let go of than death, and if you can't let go of your family, you will be caught in the weakness.

"If I ...... What so many ifs. ”

Shaking his head, Eric stopped thinking about it. If you want to see your family, you must solve this scourge, even if you can't see them again, you must leave them with hope for life.

"But I do remember one thing now, you said that I am going to die, how can I resurrect myself with my soul?"

Seeing that Eric was deep in thought and his mood began to decline, Bourcho quickly pulled away from the topic and complained about himself instead.

Hearing him tease like this, Viscount Eric no longer hung his head, but laughed: "You, you, what do you always think about dying." You are so afraid of death, I'm afraid that you won't be scared out by your own chattering all day long. ”

Eric smiled again and solemnly answered what was meant to be a joke.

"But ah, if something really happens, as long as we still have one person alive, we will definitely help you recover. ”

"But if our operation is successful, but we are all dead, it depends on whether you can be discovered by future generations. The empire is growing faster and faster, and I heard that the northernmost countries have developed an automatic machine. ”

And the second half of the sentence changed the style of painting, and it became a joke again.

"It's called a steam engine, and it's been around for a long time, Lord Viscount. I've seen that thing, and I've heard that you don't need to go down the mine to pump water. But before leaving, I heard that someone was planning to replace him in the carriage, although it was a little unbelievable, maybe it could really be done. ”

In this way, without a word, Eric and Bourcho also walked like this, with the perception of runes, the journey was quite smooth, and they did not step on empty stones or bump into anything.

After walking for a long time, he had already evaded two groups of Naga warriors patrolling, these Naga warriors were in groups of six, and their height was not less than three meters, which was definitely a powerful force deterrent. However, the perception and combat effectiveness of these warriors were far inferior to Naingak, and although there were many of them, none of them noticed the two who were sneaking around.

"Lord Viscount, the energy changes in the front hundred meters are abnormal, maybe there is a powerful Naga clan waiting there, and my runes will be put away for the time being. ”

The energy field in front of him fluctuated significantly, and the distance was almost at the entrance of the lava land. Regardless of whether this energy fluctuation is emitted by the lava land, or the powerhouse of the Naga clan, there will definitely be no shortage of warriors of the Naga clan in this nearby area, and high-level transcendents must also exist.

If you still release the runes at this time, so that others can feel and discover the two of them, this can be regarded as self-defeating.

"It's okay, from now on, try not to make a sound, except for necessary communication. There are still 100 meters away, maybe you can meet another wave of Naga, be careful!"

Viscount Eric nodded, motioned for Bourgeois to put away the runes, and said a few more words in passing.

A handprint, the rune flew back into Bourcho's hand and melted into his chest.

The two of them leaned down, cautiously, and touched towards the abnormal point a hundred meters away.
