Chapter 305: Floating Like a Dream (2)
The Magic City of Esarin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the current memories of the warriors have been modified by the Demon Pattern Formation, they can't forget the instinct.
Aisaline Castle, located in the medium-sized part of the city, is said to be a legendary Night Elf. In the memories of the warriors, the elves were all house-elves who looked like house-elves, no more than 1.5 meters tall, with big eyes and long, pointed ears. But the elves in this castle are all powerful humanoids who are about two meters tall, handsome, slender, and slightly darkened skin.
These elves who claim to be the darlings of the night rule the magic castle, they have magical abilities that ordinary humans can't match, and they are also natural marksmen, able to accurately attack targets from a distance of 100 meters. By the time the warriors arrived, it was getting late, but the city guards hadn't closed the gates yet. After being inspected by a group of human city guards, they were put into the castle.
"We've all been on the road for a day today, so let's find a hotel to rest in. Victor Krum said.
The magic lamp glowed yellowish, and the surrounding streets were still bustling, with many merchants coming and going, and some people wearing this huge cloak, who couldn't tell what race they were.
The Cloud Swamp is a magical place in itself. Its powerful and mystical untold power has been talked about by wizards for centuries. It has been a source of wealth for many adventurers. There are countless legends about the Cloud Swamp, and the story of the most mysterious ruins in the heart of the Cloud Swamp is one of the strangest of all the legends.
Legend has it that there was once a meteor that fell in the center of the Cloud Swamp, and from that meteor, a strange golden liquid flowed out, and after the golden liquid was drunk by the animals, those animals became infinitely powerful, and they also had the ability to cast spells, and an adventurer occasionally drank that liquid, and soon had extraordinary spell-casting abilities.
It's a pity that although this spell-casting ability is very powerful at the beginning, it can't grow, and later this secret was known to many explorers, but before many wizards rushed to that place, a top powerhouse in the continent said that those liquids were highly poisonous, which would erode the minds of the drinkers, and eventually let them be taken away by the demons outside the sky. Therefore, this strong man united with the other three strong men and sealed it completely.
But that's all in the past, a long, long time ago, and now even the names of the four sealers have been forgotten, and now people care most about the newly discovered ruins in the Cloud Swamp, which is said to contain infinite wealth and access to the elixir of immortality. Now, whether it is Aisaline or other cities on the mainland, wherever there are explorers, there will be people who yearn to explore the Cloud Swamp and try their luck......
But those who are really strong retain a cautious attitude, and their premonition of danger makes them not easily set foot on strange lands.
As night fell, the hotels in the city were not full, as it was not a good season for exploration, and the warriors easily found a good inn, and after dinner, everyone rested.
"You haven't recovered yet. Penelo Crivat said with concern, "It's better to go and rest early." ”
Victor Krum tried his best to remember the past, but he always felt that something was wrong, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "I don't know what's going on, I always feel as if I've forgotten something...... I think it could be the forest, the weird fog, the fog demon you mentioned, we ...... It's best for us to finish the task as soon as possible so that we can take a break. ”
Muggle expulsion spells will make Muggles remember what important things have not been done when they are close to their targets, and achieve the purpose of expulsion, and the powerful Dementor Mind Master can even forge the memories of wizards. But there has never been a wizard who can connect the minds of many wizards and make them fall into a common dream, and now, only the founder of the Suzaku School of Magic, this genius of the world, has relied on the magic pattern formation to realize this dream.
Penelo Crivat nodded: "You are indeed a little tired, your face is very bad, I see that everyone is not in a good state, you are the leader, you should pay more attention to rest, tomorrow when we gather people, we can set off again." Penelo Crivat turned around and looked up at the half-moon in the sky. "I think tomorrow must be good weather and we'll be fine. Let's take a break. ”
Rose Kosazi didn't sleep either, she sat quietly in front of the window, holding her wand. The wind at night is a little cool, and the rose is like an epiphany that develops, lonely and beautiful. A wise witch like Rose Kossazy, it's always hard to guess what's going on inside her. If anyone could crack the illusion, Rose would be one of them. But the top witch didn't choose to confront it directly, she silently observed, as if looking for something.
Rose wasn't worried about that, what she was really worried about was the new realm that the dream represented.
Both Asalyn and the Cloud Swamp fell silent in the night wind. The chirping of insects all around us and the starlight of the night seem so real, if we judge what is real? by the fragrance of the earth, by the brilliance of the stars, or by the beautiful whispers of lovers?
"It's time for you to take a shower, the water temperature is just right. Lina said to Rose.
Rose smiled and placed her wand on the table, for the illusory things, even if they were always around, they would not bring the slightest sense of security. Dealing with such a miraculous thing, Rose didn't know if it was part of the Warrior's Trial or if it had to be done. She felt that her consciousness was awake, and she understood that her eyes were scrolls, and that this was the only way to find them.
They could use magic to hide the Philosopher's Stone in the Mirror of Eris, could it be that they used magic to seal the target's scroll in this illusory dream?
Rose waited for the bathtub to fill up, and after adding foam, Rose took off her magic robe. This classical court magician's magic robe fits perfectly, and seems to have been made for roses. Rose's figure is the best among several female warriors, with slender legs, perfect curves, healthy skin of wheat color, and soft hair, like a goddess of beauty.
"It's just fantastic, even my birthmark here is exactly the same. Rose looked at the pale red birthmark on the ** and muttered to herself.
The warriors each entered a deeper dream with different ideas, and the night was silent, and the next morning, everyone gathered early.
Seeing Dokru come in, although everyone felt so familiar and knew in their hearts that he was with themselves, they automatically ignored his name. Victor Krum beckoned everyone to eat, and breakfast was polenta, bread and bacon, with a special sauce served at the store.
"This sauce tastes so good, I haven't had such a spicy sauce in a long time. Dokru spread the sauce on the bread, and Lina looked at him suspiciously, the sauce was not spicy at all, but sweet, and tasted the same as her favorite.
More and more wizards came to dinner, and when Victor Krum saw that everyone had arrived, he said, "Let's split up today, the three of us will go to the Adventure Guild to see if there is a suitable caravan, and the three of you will go to the East Market to see if there is a suitable caravan." ”
All the warriors agreed. Although their expressions were similar to usual, just like Victor Krum. Everyone at the table had a faint suspicion, but they quickly forgot about the strange feeling.
Rose looked at Victor Krum and Penelo Criwatt, as well as Lina, and said in a light tone, "You three want to be together?"
"Is there a problem?" Penelope Crivat looked at Rose strangely.
Victor Krum frowned. Rose shook her head and said, "It's been so long since I've been here last time, I've forgotten the way to the East City, do you remember?" Paul shook his head indifferently, Rose smiled, and Penelo Crivat showed them the way.
Rose walked gracefully down the road, the streets were bustling, Paul was right behind her, and Dokru was curious about everything around her. She first looked at Paul and Dokru carefully, and then carefully looked around. The three of them walked very slowly. Riding Dokru to see a wood carving, Rose suddenly said to Paul, "I know you're awake too." What are you going to do—"
Paul was not surprised by Rose's words, he was naturally more sober, and at the same time he understood the danger of this. If Rose thinks it's still a tournament game, then she's wrong. As Paul knows, to be able to achieve such a realistic illusion, his strength is definitely about to catch up with the demon god. Not even the Witches of Lefey, or Merlin, can do it.
Rose stared at Paul, and seeing that Paul was not the slightest surprised, she already had a judgment in her heart. Quietly waiting for Paul's answer.
"It's just a game, not serious. It was a moment before Paul replied.
"But how do we complete the task, what are we going to do with the scrolls?" Rose apparently didn't know they were being controlled by another force.
"It's okay, keep going, there will naturally be a way. Paul smiled, and Rose always felt that there was something hidden in Paul's smile, that she had been in contact with the warrior of Ilvermorny for too short.
Another warrior returned, and he bought some strange wood carvings, all beasts of prey, with fierce fangs and long horns. Rose seemed to be concerned about something, and stopped talking to Paul, and the three of them walked together to the East Market.
Higashi is a place close to the Cloud Swamp, and when you go out from the East Gate, you can directly see the Cloud Swamp shrouded in mist. When the weather is clear, you can see from a distance, but when the weather is bad, you will not be able to see the road after entering the swamp for a few hundred meters. There are a lot of merchants here selling all kinds of goods, which are brought out of the cloud swamp. There are bizarre potions, bizarre animals, unknown ores, and, of course, treasures claimed to be found in the ruins.
As a scathing, wise-eyed witch, Rose looked at these things very seriously. After a brief conversation with Paul, she realized that she was on her own, and that at this point, any clues could point to the scroll. But she didn't want to miss out on any possibilities. Luckily, Lady Luck was a bit of a carer, and they found a strangely broken map in front of a mysterious stall wearing a giant cloak. The map was old, but its material was still recognizable to Dokru: it was a humanskin map.
While the three of them were surprised, they hurriedly bought the map, and the mysterious cloak disappeared. The three of them had a good map and went straight back to the hotel.
They didn't waste any more time looking for any caravans, there wouldn't be any suitable caravans here. When the three of them returned to the hotel, they saw that Victor Krum had not returned, and were about to look for it, and Victor Krum and the others also returned.
"It seems that we were lucky today, we found a medium-sized team of mercenaries who were willing to accept us and take us across the Cloud Swamp. Victor Krum said.
"I don't think we need to join any team right now. Shaman Dokru said. The three Victor Krum looked at him strangely.
"We found a map, a human skin map, with what we needed. Rose said.
"What do we need? We need to cross the cloud swamp now. Penelope Crivat said.
"No, we need the Elder Scrolls mentioned above. Dokru said.
At this time, the power of magic and the sanity of the crowd began to conflict, they knew that they should go to find the scroll, but the demon pattern formation wanted them to forget everything, and eventually lost completely.
Penelope Criwatt said: "This map is of unknown origin, how do you know it's real, I don't want to risk something that doesn't exist. The Cloud Swamp is too dangerous. ”
"Only a human skin map can record the road to the ruins, you should know. Rose ignored Penelo Krivat and spoke directly to Victor Krum.
Victor Krum took the map from Dokru, and it was an irregular square with what appeared to have been rat-bitten and tattered at the edges. But fortunately, the lines and markings on it are still very clear, clearly marking the dangers in various places. In the upper left corner of the map, a blurry black ink blob is marked with the purpose of the trip.
"I think we should follow the map and take a look. Victor Krum said. Penelo Crivat's face was expressionless, and Rose nodded. But Victor Krum continued, "But I think it's better for us to be on the safe side, with that medium-sized mercenary group, so that even if we fail, our lives won't be in danger." ”
"Are those mercenaries reliable? They don't bite us back at a critical moment, do they?" said Dokru.
"Of course not, I feel like they're still very kind. Victor Krum said.
After making a decision, everyone went their separate ways to prepare, and the next morning, outside the east gate, before the six Victor Krum arrived, the medium-sized mercenary group had already assembled.
This group of mercenaries is none other than the Aurors who disappeared before.
