The Ghost Forest is in the northernmost part of the Sunrise Mountains, and only witches and the Iron King's direct guards in charge of patrolling are allowed to enter, and violators are immediately executed.

According to Montenegro, this is the place where witches connect with nature's spirits, spirits, offer sacrifices, perform bondage rituals, and concoct Lysserman's fire.

But normal people know when they think about it, it will never be that simple.

Landing in Woods, Sherlock used the harpist's badge to transform into Murma, then put on a black iron mask, an ice crystal ring, and ordered a long whip, like a Haslan witch, and swaggered into the Ghost Forest.

The Ghost Forest is one of only two large forests in Lesserman's second place, and it's not easy to find the secrets hidden within.

Coincidentally, he didn't have to go long before a team of snow wolf cavalry came up.

"Witch-sama, it seems that the time for rotation has not yet arrived." The captain saluted.

"Plans have changed, and the Ghost Forest needs to be staffed." Sherlock imitated the witch's tone and said indifferently.

"What's going on?"

"You're not qualified to know," Sherlock snorted coldly, and was about to go straight over.

"Yes" There is a black iron mask as proof, the identity of the witch is unquestionable, and the patrol captain certainly does not dare to stop a witch, waving his hand to reassure.

It was only when he raised his head and saw the starry eyes under the black iron mask that a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Witch Lord, let us escort you inside." As he spoke, the patrol leader took the lead and stepped forward.

Although the captain's behavior was not in accordance with the rules, it was one of their duties to protect the witches, so no one objected, and they all followed.

After a while, the group arrived at their destination.

"Witch, there is an enchantment in front of us, we can't get in, so we can only send you here." Said the patrol leader.

"Well, you guys keep patrolling, Searle's spies seem to have made some moves lately, you must protect the Ghost Forest and don't let outsiders in." When Sherlock finished speaking, the man vanished.

And when the patrol had all left, he jumped down from a tree not far away.

This is a little trick he has come up with with the Tree Escape Technique.

He couldn't lift this enchantment for a while, and if he didn't deceive this group of patrol members, his identity would definitely not be hidden.

Now that he was alone, he had plenty of time to study it.

Sherlock hadn't learned anything about formation enchantments, and it was almost impossible to break in without being detected.

In other words, after the violent break-in, he must investigate whether there is a doom spindle in the secrets of the Ghost Forest before everyone reacts.

Just as he was deciding to blast open the barrier with the golden shuriken, another group of people approached.

Arboriform

Sherlock had barely disappeared when a group of six people appeared in his sight.

These six people were all dressed as witches, and after approaching the enchantment, they didn't know that they used props, so they opened a small opening in the enchantment and walked in one after another.

Such a good opportunity, of course, Sherlock would not let it go, and a tree escape technique teleported into the enchantment.

The witch led by "Something" suddenly felt a trace of magic pass through her.

Boom

The six of them held their wands in their left hands and the magic book in their right hands, and instantly entered a combat state.

"Chief, did you find anything?" asked one of his men.

"I felt a faint fluctuation in mana." The witch known as the Chief silently chanted a detection spell, but found nothing.

"Chief, could it be the spirit of the forest?" The subordinate speculated.

"Maybe"

After watching the group leave, and after waiting for another half an hour to make sure that there were no problems around, Sherlock broke away from the tree.

Chief, that's not a title that comes up in the League of Witches.

However, in the national parliament of Serre, the members of the council have the nickname of chief.

Thinking back to Searle's recent frequent activities in Lesserman's territory, the identities of these witches can almost be confirmed.

Ghost Forest, what's in there

Sherlock was already getting more and more curious at this time, and turned into the form of a cat, so he chased after the witches.

call

not

In the forest, the call of the spirit is constantly echoing.

This is a characteristic of Lesserman, and in environments rich in natural energy such as forests, snow-capped mountains, amber, etc., some low-intelligence natural souls will be born.

The Lysermans called these creatures spirits.

Spirits are mostly non-aggressive, but that doesn't mean they're not dangerous.

These Souls of Nature are both strong and weak, and once they endanger the environment they live in, they will attack those who destroy them in a frenzy.

As he went deeper, Sherlock felt that the natural energy in his environment was getting stronger.

Suddenly, a magical turbulence mixed with a faint smell of blood blew towards him.

Realizing that something was wrong, Sherlock immediately let go.

Silent steps

Shadow Walk

The figure of the catsa kept jumping under the cover of the shade of the trees, and soon found the source of the smell of blood.

I saw a huge open space, and a strange six-pointed star formation was arranged.

Six cryolite pillars were erected on each of the six corners of the formation, and a slender black chain was tied to each of the stone pillars, spreading to a middle-aged woman in the middle.

And around this woman, there were more than a dozen corpses, all of which seemed to be witches.

The only five remaining witches were still desperately guarding against the attacks of the six red-robed mages on the periphery.

Who is this locked woman

The League of Witches has listed the Ghost Forest as a forbidden place and guarded it strictly, is it just to trap this woman?

Then the purpose of the Red Robe Mage Association is to save her

So, this woman is a member of the Red Robe Mage Society

This inference does hold, but Sherlock always feels that something is not quite right, but he doesn't know what is missing.

Until, he heard the conversation of the witches.

"It's been like this, aren't you going to break my seal?"

"Cordelia, the order of the Supreme Witch is"

"Believe me, Fiona doesn't want to hear that I've been killed."

The witches hesitated for a moment, but finally broke Cordelia's seal.

The cryolite pillar slowly melted, the six chains fell off one after another, and a huge wave of magic roared like a beast breaking free from its cage.

Even Sherlock, who was a hundred feet away, could clearly feel the mana's restlessness.

"It's been twenty-seven years, and my magic has finally returned." With a wave of Cordelia's hand, she held an amethyst staff in her hand.

The character who can make the Supreme Witch seal with a forest knows that it will not be easy.

And those red-robed mages dared to break into Lesserman's hinterland alone, and their strength was naturally not weak, especially the chief.

Sherlock had expected an earth-shattering battle to follow.

Unexpectedly, Cordelia sat on her own pet, a snowy silver wolf, and was about to flee.

"The former Ice Queen, I didn't expect to run away without a fight." The chief of the red-robed mage guild laughed contemptuously, and induced the two spells he had already arranged.

The system tells you that the space you are in is affected by the Gap Domain, and all spells and abilities across the plane within the radius are disabled.

The system tells you that your space is affected by a bloody battlefield, and all creatures within range cannot leave.

Sherlock had encountered it more than once in the Gap Domain, but this was the first time he had heard of the spell of the Bloody Battlefield.

He was just thinking about the effect of this spell when he saw Cordelia's Wind and Snow Silver Wolf crash into the barrier and was directly disintegrated into a pool of blood.

The effect of this spell is at least above the eighth order.

Cordelia eventually jumped off her mount in time to avoid death, but she was overwhelmed by the red-robed mage's onslaught.

Before he could swing his staff twice, he was hit by a blood freeze spell, and his whole body stiffened and fell to the ground.

Dehydration

Bone crushing

The heart froze

The red-robed mage didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Cordelia, but continued to torture the other party with one spell after another that didn't hurt much but could bring great pain.

"Ice Queen, I didn't expect you, you will also be trampled under the feet one day"

"Hehe, cough hehe" Cordelia kept coughing up blood, but her face insisted on not showing a trace of pain.

"It's a pity that there is not much inheritance power left in your body, otherwise I can spare your life and have fun for a few days." The red-robed mage didn't continue to torment Cordelia, but chanted the Finger of Death.

Oversized jade gold shuriken

Sherlock hesitated, but decided to make a move.

Cordelia is undoubtedly a rather important figure, and the reward for saving her is definitely not low.

What's more, whether from his own position or his own heart, he can't sit idly by and watch the evil deeds of the Red Robe Mage Society.
