These are the last three journal entries in Vile, all about a druid.

The vast majority of druids in the Forgotten Realm's worldview are biased towards the good or orderly camp.

Committed to maintaining the balance of nature, they are unlikely to stand idly by in the event of a fire, drought or other disasters, and it is logical to save their lives by the way.

It's just that whether it is the mysterious aura that suddenly appears and disappears during the sacrifice, the strange behavior shown by Vielle, or the notebook hidden in the crack of the cellar wall, it reminds Sherlock all the time:

That druid who appeared by chance may not have been accidental;

This seemingly normal and simple small village is not simple.

Curiosity drove Sherlock back to the scene of the sacrifice once again.

His instincts told him that the source of all this weirdness was probably hidden here.

It's just that there is no magic flow in the entire field, no invisible space, and no enchantment, and all his perceptual methods have not been able to detect any anomalies.

Either he thinks too much, this village is actually normal.

Either the other party's means are too clever and too well hidden.

The first possibility is that Sherlock simply can't convince himself;

The second possibility made his curiosity even more wild.

What's really going on in this village?

Who is it and what means are used?

What is his purpose?

Just as he was scratching his heart with a hundred claws, a flash of fire suddenly rushed straight in.

Yan returns!

Sherlock leaped back, his golden shuriken in his hand.

"Ying Lan, what are you crazy about!" He'd seen the sneak attackers.

"Sherlock, take me seriously, I must defeat you this time." Ying Lan, who had turned into a blazing roaring tiger, was covered in bright flames, illuminating the entire night sky a little.

"Sorry, not interested." Sherlock is really not in the mood to fight with others right now.

"That's not up to you."

Flames enveloped Ying Lan's figure, drawing a scorching straight line in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it burst in front of Sherlock.

"So fast!" Sherlock exclaimed in his heart, and the flame of the Holy Dragon instantly burst out of his body.

Flame Burst Punch!

Golden Hook Arm!

With their fists crossed, the two faced off again on the King's Cross platform in the morning.

Only this time, the result was completely reversed.

Sherlock was blasted out by the punch, but Ying Lan stood firmly in place.

"How can your strength be so strong?" The curiosity in Sherlock's tone was even more than surprise, and even the anger that should have been suppressed after being raided.

"What, are you scared?" Ying Lan smiled unruly, and in his mind he had already imagined the other party begging him for mercy.

"Scared? I'll talk about it until I can hit it. Sherlock had already got the information he wanted, and in the blink of an eye, he changed into the form of a cat, and instantly melted into the night.

"Sherlock, you don't run!"

Ying Lan's angry scolding came from behind him, but Sherlock didn't want to pay attention to it at all.

When he asked aloud just now, he quietly used mind detection.

is also a druid, without the need for the eye of foresight, his intelligence is enough to successfully read Ying Lan's thoughts, and thus understand the reason why the other party has become stronger in a short period of time.

"Is it the secret treasure left by the mysterious druid, how could it be found so easily?" Sherlock had a vague clue in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

He was eager to exchange information with the rest of the people, and he first found the village chief's house where Qing Xuan was staying.

Of the seven people in the group, Qing Xuan seemed to be the smartest, and it was likely that he had discovered the strangeness of this village like him.

"I'll say it again, I'm going to rest......" Qing Xuan said impatiently, looked up, and saw that it was Sherlock who walked into the room, so she said a little surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

After a long period of practice, Sherlock's reading comprehension level was already quite high, and he instantly realized the meaning of the other party's first half of the sentence: "Could it be that someone else will come?" ”

"Uh...... No! Qing Xuan was a little panicked and a little shy, and waved her hand again and again: "No, it's so late, who else will come to me." ”

"Well, I'm here to ask if you've noticed anything strange." Sherlock asked calmly.

"Strange things, did you find anything?" Qing Xuan asked rhetorically.

"No, I'm just asking."

"Oh, I didn't find anything strange, but the people in this village seem to be quite welcoming." When Qing Xuan said the word 'enthusiasm', her face suddenly turned red.

"It's very welcoming." Sherlock had already read the image in the other person's mind, and then thought of his own experience, and it would be better to insist that they were 'passionate'.

Saying goodbye to Qing Xuan, Sherlock contacts Amber again.

It's just that the other party seems to be busy with something, and after reporting a coordinate, he hung up the communication directly.

He followed the coordinates to his destination, and saw Amber sitting upright on a stone chair, and in front of him was a procession more than ten meters long.

"Water, trees, rain, very interesting combo cards."

"Lady Lilia, did you have any misunderstanding with your sweetheart?" Amber said with a squint.

"Well, I'll ...... him" The girl in front of Amber stopped talking, and finally could only ask, "I don't know what to do." ”

"The water sign symbolizes the power to open the hearts of others;

Tree sign, symbolizing growth and development;

The rain sign symbolizes that it will eventually get better. Amber parsing it one by one.

"Will we reconcile?" When the girl heard the word 'get better', she immediately said excitedly.

"Of course, the development of the relationship will not always be smooth sailing, as long as you are honest with each other, all misunderstandings and quarrels will only make you embrace more closely."

"Hmmm! I'm not going to give up. The girl's eyes were much firmer, and she took out a handful of gold coins and scattered them on the table: "Thank you, Lord Amber. “

"It's okay, I just hope that your youth can leave no regrets." Amber smiled slightly, and wiped her sleeve on the table, and the gold coins on it were all in her pocket.

Seeing the girl leave, Sherlock immediately cut in line and sat down.

"Excuse me, what does this adventurer want to ask?" Amber spoke.

"I want to ask if you noticed anything strange?"

"Feel free to peek into other people's minds, I didn't expect you to be so rude, adventurer." Amber said calmly.

"Uh, I'm sorry." Sherlock couldn't help but feel guilty, the detection mind was pierced by the receiver on the spot, and the guilt was especially strong.

"Trampling on the will and dignity of others, a mere word of apology is not enough."

"And what do you want?"

Amber held out a deck of tarot cards: "Draw one." ”

Sherlock didn't ask if he wanted money this time, and he casually drew a card with a thunder tiger.

"Interesting, thunder cards, symbolizing fury and desire, but also containing the opportunity of new life; If you don't lose yourself, you can have a lucky development. Amber explained.

"Well, I just wanted to ask if you noticed anything strange."

"The divination fee is 5,000 gold coins, thanks to your patronage." Amber said with a smile.

If he had been in the past, Sherlock would never have paid for it.

But at this time, he was like a groom in front of the cave room, the fire was about to burn all over his body, and the bridesmaid at the top door asked for a simple request for a red envelope, so he naturally responded to it in one bite.

After receiving the money, Amber's face instantly looked much better: "If you want to say that there is no strange thing, even the names of this village seem to be quite rich." ”

"Thank you."

Armed with Amber's message, Sherlock finally cleared the thread that came to his mind.

The next question is how to find the mastermind behind it!
