Rubbing his eyes, Heliga was sure that the figure was not his hallucination—and immediately shouted, "Who's there?" ”

Undoubtedly, there was no response. Maybe the other party can't hear their own pitching? Heliga thought to herself, and at the same time, the wind blade was already clenched in her hand.

Suddenly, the mist-like figure, as if frightened by something, ran towards the depths of the forest. Due to the thick fog, the field of vision was limited, and almost instantly, it disappeared from view.

"It looks like there will be some important clue...... Seeing this scene, how could Hailiga let go of such an opportunity - if he went back and asked someone to come together, he might be completely thrown off in just a few seconds, and Heiliga, who knew that the current situation could not be thought about much, jumped directly from the second-floor balcony, and after landing lightly, he ran towards the fog forest with his legs.

As soon as she ran into the forest, Heliga felt the fog suddenly increase. Like a steaming mist, a vast white patch, and you can't see your fingers. In the midst of the thick fog, Heliga knew how dangerous some foggy extremes could be. The thick fog completely obscured the vision, and even though the towering trees around him were only half a meter away from him, it was difficult to see the outlines of them under the double obstruction of night and fog. Sighing, Helriga had to pull out a small bottle of dark brown potion from his bosom and drink it in one gulp—

Suddenly, he felt his eyesight greatly enhanced, and the originally colorful forest turned gray in an instant—though the difference was not very great in the fog.

Named after Bernardo's "cat's eye", the potion gave humans the astonishing sight of felines for a short period of time, and even at night and in dense fog, Heliga could vaguely see the intricate terrain of the woods and the fleeing figure.

Taking a deep breath, Helliga plunged headlong into the dense forest woven by the black and white lines.

"What people! Hold it! The speed of the escape did not seem to be very fast, and the direction was very strange - Heliga judged by the direction of the moon that the place was only closer to the deeper part of the forest—not as if he was seeking some kind of refuge.

Of course, he soon thought of another possibility, and with that thought he quickened his pace a lot—Blublan had left the academy with some strange teleportation-like technique; And when it came to fishing Kevin in the port area, Levi and Bloblan on the roof used the same method. It can be seen from this that the association must have such a technology, and if the person in front of him is really the person in front of him, as everyone expected, he is also the person of the association-

"Oh...... The fog is starting to thin out...... It seems that even if that person is doing something there, he is now a little panicked? Heliga smiled triumphantly, and at the same time he was surprised to find that the other man seemed to have given up on running further, and slowly turned towards him.

"Huh? The man's hand...... I see. Looking at the other party's movements, Heliga knew that it was the bell mentioned in the intelligence.

"I was careless, I was discovered." A sweet, seductive voice rang abruptly in my ears, "Well, I'll give you a little reward—"

The dreamlike bell rang again, and where the other party was standing, suddenly purple light flourished. For a moment, the young man's thoughts became blurred, and he drifted around—

"It's time to wake up!!" Awakened by the sound of yelling in her ear, Heliga suddenly realized where she was now—Bernardo himself was now looking at himself with a smile on his treacherous smile.

"You want to scare me to death......" After two complaints, Heiliga suddenly realized something: "What happened just now?" ”

"Aren't you investigating this fog?" The other party didn't answer his question directly, "I think you should know by now that the fog was caused by that woman." ”

“…… Woman? So the woman in the strange costume mentioned in the intel—"

"That's her. I guess it was a phenomenon created by that strange black guy...... I'm kind of interested in that thing. But let's talk about this later, the key is the woman...... Well, she's an illusionist. ”

"Illusionist...... Ah, I see, using the dense fog as a medium to disturb the general population? Heiliga immediately understood, it turned out that this was a strange second technique that interfered with human cognition, and it was no wonder that none of those drugs worked.

"Yes. I don't really know exactly how it works...... However, it seems that the effect of her illusion is to make people sleep in the beautiful fantasy of their ideals...... In other words, it's about getting what you want most in your environment. I have to say that this is a clever move, because in this way, the person who has been tricked himself does not want to wake up from such a dream. ”

"Sleeping in the midst of illusory beauty? It's sad. Heliga sighed, and then realized that something was wrong, "Wait a minute, then according to your account...... I'm ...... now Hmmm......"

"yes...... If I didn't care, probably you would have been tricked too, and then lie in the woods and have the sweet dream of going back to your hometown to marry that little girl of yours, and then be eaten by the monsters passing by......" Bernardo covered his mouth and laughed, and when he saw that Heliga was glaring at him viciously, he coughed twice in embarrassment and continued: "Okay, just kidding. But if you leave it alone, you'll probably get hit. That illusion is very powerful, and you, as a native human in this world, have no way to resist it. ”

"So what the hell did you do?"

"Don't worry. Of course, even I was affected somewhat. I'm something like an anthropomorphic being, trained in anti-illusionism, but more or less ...... There are some things that cannot be avoided. But there is one thing that is not affected by illusion in any way. ”

“…… Dragon...... ? Heliga closed his eyes, he already knew what the other party wanted to express, "So you took the opportunity to release the dragon soul?" ”

"yes...... It just so happened that you lost control of your body in that moment and gave me this opportunity. Bernardo shrugged, "And what I'm going to tell you is that the dragon ...... I don't know what death is, and I don't know what illusion is...... Everything, to it, is just a 'threat'. ”

“…… I know...... How long have I been lying down? ”

"It didn't take long. However, your companions have probably figured out that something is wrong and come to the forest to look for you. The illusionist...... Tsk, the melee ability is really not good, but it has released a lot of strange demons to interfere with you...... It's kind of dragging on. But she couldn't support such a thick fog for a long time...... Things will be resolved soon. ”

“…… When I get back, how will I explain this? Heiliga asked with a wry smile as he listened to Bernardo's words.

"I'll try to keep it out of the way...... Well, it's up to you to choose. The latter whispered softly.
