From Sentinel Ridge, they followed the avenue all the way east and crossed the River of Silence, where they camped in an open area west of the Twilight Forest on the evening of the third day, led by Althea the Night Watch.

A path ran east and west, and they camped on the south side, and to the north was a place called Raven Ridge.

Raven Ridge, just listen to the name and know that it is not a good place.

There are also some man-made structures in Raven Ridge, but they have long since been abandoned, and further north is a cemetery.

It was drizzling in the sky, and rain was a bit rare for the people of the Wild West, but after the excitement had passed, the gloom still lingered in everyone's minds, as if some monster in the darkness was opening its mouth and waiting for these people to jump in on their own.

The old physician Gaulus has been to the Twilight Forest, and the Coulson special forces are not even afraid of the Valley of Thorns, not to mention this kind of forest that is just a little gloomy and cold.

He sent people to boil a lot of decoction, a bit like ginger soup in his previous life, one person drank a bowl, the effect was immediate, and the laughter of the militia rang out again.

The old physician was busy with all sorts of chores, Vanessa had nothing to do, she studied Elven language, and Miss Commander of the Night's Watch wanted to do her duty as her master did at Sentinel Ridge, and wanted to lead her around.

Is it still raining outside? What the hell is there to see in this place of yours?

She was too lazy to move, but Miss Commander thought she was being polite and insisted on being this guide.

Just look at it, Vanessa can only put down her books, put on her hood, and the two of them ride horses, each with three soldiers, walking in the woods.

"Not bad, better than I thought." Vanessa took a deep breath, the breath of the woods came to her face, although it was not as comfortable as the Elwyn Forest, but it was also stronger than the western wilderness, the dilapidated and decaying nature was still nature in essence.

Don't rejoice in blooming, don't be sad about withering, respect the cycle of life, life is not righteous, death is not evil, this is the druid's way of balance.

"The conditions here are a bit tough, tomorrow we go southeast and bypass this mountain, and the traffic will be much better on the other side of the mountain, and our night town is in the east." The Commander of the Night's Watch who led the way apologized to Vanessa embarrassedly, ashamed that she didn't have any hospitality items, considering that when she went to Sentinel Ridge, she had enough food and wine to eat.

It's not as desolate as Althea says, the Brotherhood of Defia used to send some thieves to station here for a while, and the rumors of the haunting of Raven Ridge were initially promoted by the Brotherhood, but then the undead plague began to spread, and they evacuated the place.

"It's okay, I'm not here to enjoy it." Vanessa's reply was very formulaic, and then she looked to the north of the camp, the somewhat gloomy building seemed to be an inn, a two-story structure, and now not to mention people, not even a moving thing can be seen, huh?

Originally, her eyesight was better than that of ordinary people, and in the woods, her five senses were magnified to the extreme, and when she raised her eyes, she found that someone was watching her in the abandoned building of the suspected inn in the north.

"Is there anyone in that house, is that your man?" This is not Sentinel Ridge, and it is best to ask for permission from the owner before doing so, she asked Miss Commander of the Night's Watch as she pointed to the abandoned inn.

Our people? Is there anyone? Althea glanced back at several of her subordinates, two night watchmen with bows and arrows, firmly staring at the exit of the abandoned inn, the first one drew his short sword, and the three of them gestured and walked in with great understanding.

"Don't kill me! They're all over the place, I'm innocent and I don't want to! Spare my life! After a short time, a man's cry rang out in the house, and he was dragged by the Night's Watch to Vanessa and the Night's Watch's Commander's horse.

This is a middle-aged man with a frightened face, his feet dragged on the ground when he was erected, and his arms were shaking like chaff.

"Not from our town." The two commanders rolled over and dismounted, and Miss Commander of the Night's Watch made a judgment with just one glance.

The middle-aged man thought that this was a prelude to killing him, and he was so frightened that his heart was broken, the rain mixed with tears and snot flowed down his face, and several night watchmen were full of disgust, and after Althea nodded, they let go directly, leaving this frightened guy still on the ground.

"I see? Nothing...... If I don't see it, they're going to find me! I don't know where it's still there, where is it? ...... "His words are incoherent, incoherent, and his spirit can collapse at any moment.

It's okay to pacify animals, but it's a priest's job to pacify humans, and Vanessa really doesn't know how to make this person sober up.

It is said that physical therapy with a big mouth can also be used, but the other party is now snotty, which really makes her unable to do it.

Miss Commander of the Night's Watch motioned for her to do whatever she wanted, not their native anyway.

Vanessa instructed his men: "Bring him back and let Adjutant Gaulus get him some calming herbs to drink." ”

After half a circle around the Crow Ridge, they didn't see any trace of the undead, and seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, they also chose to return to the camp.

Late at night.

Vanessa put aside her elven and minotaur notes, carefully taking in the forces of nature around her, and heard some very soft whispers as she was about to fall asleep.

"I don't want to, I don't want to run away, but I'm so scared! I'm afraid they'll kill me! ......”

"Elune, there is darkness before my eyes, please guide the way for your confused believers, please let me get rid of this lingering nightmare......"

Two voices were mixed together, one seemed to be the mentally ill middle-aged man he had caught before, and the other was a woman, and it was still in Elven language!

What the heck? Vanessa opened the tent and found that the camp had been shrouded in a faint white mist, the militia and the night watchmen were asleep, and it seemed that only she could move freely in the camp.

"Help me...... Please move forward, help me, I'm falling into the darkness, please help me......"

"I didn't kill people, I didn't kill them! Don't come and pester me! ”

The two voices were still mixed together, but after she came out, the middle-aged neuropath's voice became noticeably louder, and the elven woman's voice became more and more ethereal.

Vanessa gathered the flames in the palm of her hand, and looked around through the firelight, and saw a slender figure in the mist, and the middle-aged neurotic man was kneeling to her left, as if he was thinking about something.

She examined it and found that this guy was the medium that caused everyone to be unconscious now, but not the key, the key was the one in the fog.

She stared carefully at the figure in the fog, and then said in a somewhat stiff elven language: "The goddess is protecting you, priestess, you should not stay in this world, you are dead, return to the embrace of the moon god." ”
