As Midwinter approaches, Mirru's ability to control the wind element is getting stronger and stronger, and she can even directly use the wind element to form an air shield or wind blade without using spells.

This situation is very similar to the precursor of the Warlock's awakening of the bloodline, and now there is an opportunity, an opportunity to fully activate the power of the bloodline, and she can have the power to cast spells.

There are other things that didn't happen to Sherlock but were related to him.

The war in Cape Aske, the High Forest, has finally broken out, and all the forces and races of the Treants and the Demons, the Mushrooms and the Drow, the Bloody Church and the Silvermoon Alliance have come to the fore.

The indispensable and main of these is of course the rivalry between the Santarins and the Harpists League.

The second thing is still inseparable from the above two, and that is about the survival of Noisy Water City.

No one could have imagined that the powerful lord, the kind paladin Nannaslo Greysword, would die in an assassination attempt.

No one knows who the assassin was, but with the death of the nominal supreme leader of the city, the bustling city was plunged into endless strife.

Grey Sword's two subordinates, Hararos and Karaha, fought for dominance of Noise City, and the Holy Coin Cult and the Raven Society also took this opportunity to seek a higher voice.

The long-planned alliance between the Santarim Society and the harpists who have always been on guard also revolves around the control of the city.

To be honest, until the two met again, Sherlock couldn't believe that there would be a shadow of Muruki in the development of this matter.

And after five days of traveling day and night, the group finally came to a village closest to the Lost Soul Mountain.

Located on the edge of the civilized world, the town of Olasberg is a bit of a village in terms of size, with the Cherimba Swamp, the source of the Serpentine River, to the north and the infamous Lost Soul Mountain to the south.

The area is rumored to have been a haven for a group of dark druids, who performed human sacrifices, cannibalism, and worse, dark rituals.

It wasn't until 200 years ago that Count Krommet and a group of immigrants founded Olasberg here, and the region came into contact with the edge of civilization.

The long history of supernatural events has made the townspeople superstitious and xenophobic. Because of this, not many players in this remote town originally wanted to come, and they couldn't stay long.

It's just that this place is the closest foothold to Lost Soul Mountain, and Sherlock is expected to stay here for the next few days.

When the group stepped over the short bridge over the moat, the originally clear sky immediately darkened.

The shallow moat was filled with leaves, and if you looked closely, you could see some dried blood and the stumps of some unknown creatures.

Walking across the moat, I saw two huge locust trees erected on both sides of the entrance of the village, it was already dusk, but there was no smoke in the cooking, and except for a group of children, the whole village was not inhabited at all.

The group of children seems to be playing a game of hide and seek around the locust tree, singing a little eerie song every time someone touches the tree.

After observing for a while, everyone pieced together the whole ballad.

Over the fields and swamps, over the hills and streams,

Look at the old witch running, chasing after me.

She was the bride of the swamp and came on the gallows.

Maiden, give me a lamb and you will never see me again.

She is faster than the wind, faster than death,

If she catches your scent, she will steal your breath.

You can't escape your end or hers,

All you can do is surpass your friends.

Singing this ballad in a child's voice undoubtedly exacerbated its eerie atmosphere, and as a yin wind blew, everyone not only shivered, especially Mirlu, although he still pretended to be calm, but the constantly shaking muscles had completely exposed his inner fear.

"Why don't we move somewhere?" Tam, apparently seeing Millou's expression as well, suggested with concern.

But before everyone could respond, Mirlou himself was the first to refuse, "If I can't overcome even this level of fear, what qualifications do I have to pursue the power in my bloodline." ”

The other party said so resolutely, and the three Sherlock didn't say anything, in fact, for players, of course, they won't let go of this kind of plot.

And the truth is, most of the fear is to scare themselves, and when everyone walked in, the children didn't show any fangs and grimaces.

"Hello children, may I ask where all the adults in this village have gone?"

Dealing with children was naturally handed over to the only two women in the team, and the freckles on Feng Chime's face could not hide her immaturity, and women of this grade were the most popular among the bear children.

Feng Chime'er's performance did not disappoint them, and a girl who is usually crazy played the cute young lady without any flaws, and only used a few pieces of gold flat candy to easily get the information out of the child's hands.

First of all, the whereabouts of the village names seem to be going to the abandoned mine in the south of the town.

As for the ballad, it has been sung in the region for generations, and is said to be about an old witch named Long-legged Lennie who lives near the Nameless Swamp.

"This seems to be a ghost woman." After listening to the children's descriptions, Tamu said thoughtfully.

The ghost woman is an extremely evil creature, powerful black magic, terrifying appearance, cruel heart, the existence of this creature is a sin.

Olasberg already has a lot of strange stories, and it is not necessary that there are ghost women in the past, let alone in a ballad.

In comparison, another thing is more concerning, at this time, the whole town of villagers go to a deserted mine cave, obviously not camping and picnic or something.

After a little deliberation, the group decided to go to the mine to see what was going on, whether their plan was to stay in this town for a few days, or whether it was more important to find out what was going on here.

The location of the mine was not far away, and following the direction of the children, the group walked for ten minutes before discovering the glade described and the wooden-framed entrance to the depths of the mine.

It's just that in this place, Sherlock and the others didn't find any figures, and they were greeted by an extremely terrifying scene.

The nearby trees were covered in garlands, smooth and crumbling human limbs and entrails, an eyeless head tied to a bare branch with blood-stained strands, and a charcoal painting with his smile and a headless willow doll nailed to the trunk beneath the skull.
