86 Huo Village
The carriage left the country road, near a hill, and turned onto a side road.
The trail is so narrow that only one carriage can pass through it, and the bushes on both sides of the road block the path, and the road is overgrown with weeds, making it impossible to see the path unless you distinguish it carefully.
This time, the carriage was even slower.
It's a little faster than a human walk, and even, it's better to run forward.
Anthony was very nervous, staring at the road ahead without blinking, and from time to time he raised his hand to pluck the branches of the large trees hanging overhead, and the two tall horses in front of him breathed white air in the rain, humming and pulling the carriage slowly.
After a mile of winding walking, a stream appeared in front of me.
The stream rushed down from the upstream, hitting the bank, flooding with white flowers, and the raindrops fell in the stream, connecting into a line, the stream was not wide, and there was a single-plank bridge on it, and the bridge deck was not wide, and it looked like it was in disrepair, and it was moss, and there were even green branches on the edge, like an old tree giving out new branches.
Anthony stopped the carriage, jumped out of the driver's seat, and got on the bridge alone.
The side door of the carriage opened, and Siakam poked his head out, and the rain fell, but naturally avoided him, and did not fall on him.
Anthony walked around the bridge, and from time to time, he stepped on the bridge deck hard, but in just a few minutes, even if he was wearing a poncho, his face was watery, and his body in the poncho was also wet with rain.
He gave Siakam a thumbs up.
Siakam returned to the compartment and closed the door.
After a while, the carriage went on its way, and galloped across the bridge with some difficulty and slowness, and the horses that pulled the carriage were old horses, and though they were frightened, they passed safely with Anthony's comfort.
Anthony is not an extraordinary person, but he is not an ordinary person.
He was a knight.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been here.
After the carriage crossed the bridge, it traveled another mile or so, and when it turned a small hill, a village came into view, and a dark cloud flickered in the rain.
Huo Cun arrived.
It's an abandoned village, overgrown with weeds, and the trees nearby are extremely tall and their branches are extraordinarily luxuriant, twisting like monsters.
Most of the buildings in the village are intact, although they look a little dilapidated because of some weeds, in fact, they can still live in people, even if it is so stormy, it still does not feel crumbling.
The carriage stopped in front of a relatively large house.
This house is supposed to be the residence of the lord of the village, the walls are thick bluestone, and the architecture has a style, not the other houses in the village, all the same and without any characteristics to speak of.
"Today, let's stay here for one night and leave tomorrow. ”
Siakam said to Ryan and the others.
Before getting out of the car, he solemnly admonished.
"Once you're in the house, the three of you won't be allowed to go anywhere, you can only follow me, you know?"
Seeing that the three of them were silent and did not reply, Siakam continued.
"I'm not kidding, there was a big incident here, the whole village disappeared and disappeared, we also sent someone to check, we only know that there are energy fluctuations, the treacherous world once appeared briefly, and now, although several years have passed, it seems that there is no problem, but, God knows, the mysterious thing, it is difficult to say very ......"
"Got it!"
Ryan replied.
In a group of three, Milo stutters and doesn't like to talk much, especially when there are a lot of people, Marty is like a mute, and it's hard to hear her voice, of course, she's not mute, it's just that she seems to be afraid of attracting the attention of something, so she basically doesn't speak, as if talking will cause some trouble.
Ryan doesn't like to talk, but that doesn't mean he can't communicate, so in this silent trio, he's the equivalent of a diplomat.
Siakam got out of the car, Ryan followed, followed by Milo Dravich, and Martí Esmeralda were the last to get out of the carriage, and Anthony was in front of the door of the black building.
The gate was closed, the black gate, the heavy gate, the gate made entirely of pig iron.
The reason why this house was chosen is to value this point, one is to be located in the center of the village, or on a high place, because the building is three stories high, you can have a bird's eye view of the whole village, not to mention, this building is much stronger than other houses, although it has been abandoned, it is still as strong as a rock on the top of the mountain, and it is actually quite good to shelter from the wind and rain.
Push the big iron door hard, the line does not move, there should be a deadbolt on it, there is no way to push it open from the outside, unless the bolt is broken hard, this can push the big iron door open.
Tried, Anthony didn't use brute force.
He took a few steps back, and Ryan's eye was good, and he pulled the carriage aside to clear a path.
Siakam, along with Marti and Milo, stood silently under the eaves.
Without exhaling his breath, Anthony stepped forward in small steps, ran a few steps, splashed in all directions, and finally, the whole person rose up like a big bird, in Ryan's eyes, there was a white light under Anthony's feet, swallowing the air current, a bit like a helicopter when it was in the air, similar principle, and the reaction force generated between the earth made Anthony fly.
Of course, Anthony does not have a high-speed rotating propeller on his head, and this white light is just a kind of fighting energy, which cannot last long, and can only explode in a short time, so Anthony can't really fly in the air like a bird.
Still, it's enough.
The next moment, he crossed the high door and landed behind it.
After a while, the iron door was pulled open from the inside, because there was no lubricant for a long time, the joints were a little rusty, even in the heavy rain, there was a loud creaking sound, looking at the open black door, it was like a giant beast waking up from its slumber, yawning.
Ryan looked inside.
The rain is pouring down, even if the eyesight is very good, if you don't cast spells and abilities, after all, you still can't go beyond the scope of humans, and you can't see the situation inside the building at all.
There are traces of everything you walk by!
Whether it is transcendent or mysterious, once it appears, there will be abnormal energy fluctuations, even if it is very slight, with the bonus of the Golden Book, Ryan can clearly sense it.
No!
Silently exhaling a long breath, Ryan still didn't let down his guard, still keeping his vigilance, and as Siakam and the others walked into the building, he couldn't afford to be careless.
This time, the appointment came a little suddenly.
