Chapter 1237: The Forest of Ashes (8)

An Yi pointed out that the place where they camped was not far from the Blue Castle, after all, the Blue Castle often used the rapids to transport timber to the Silver Moon Federation, and if they took a carriage, it would only take about an hour to follow the road from An Yi to them.

I decided to camp here because it was late, John was still seasick and dizzy, and the other thing was that Ann wanted to be attacked at night by night.

When you think you have figured out the process of the system, you will find that the system has prepared a bigger surprise for you......

It's close to one o'clock in the morning, and the moon is in the sky.

With the brightness of moonlight and starlight, it is not difficult to navigate the dirt road through the sparse ash forest, but it is possible to run into monsters that run out at night.

In order to get to the Blue Castle as soon as possible, An Yizhi decided to use the flying one.

Both Angel Galler and Ann Yizhi have the ability to fly, while John, Lena, and George cannot, but they are not without a solution.

Phantom Pony

With a snap of his fingers, a purple-black portal suddenly opened, and with the neighing of the horse, the Phantom Pony leaped out.

I haven't seen him for a while, but the Phantom Pony seems to be doing well, his fur is oily and smooth, it looks like wax in the light of the moon, and his body is stronger than before.

This has nothing to do with the Phantom Pony's eating and drinking, it's because of Ann's level.

It's an Ann Yizhi's contract creature, devouring it, and the more benefits the Phantom Pony gets.

At level 30, the Phantom Pony gained the ability to walk in the air, and An Yizhi is now at level 40, and the Phantom Pony already has perfect flying ability, and in terms of strength, it is not inferior to the invincible celestial Pegasus of the brave.

"β€”phew!"

As soon as the Phantom Pony came out, he rubbed Ann Yizhi's robe very affectionately, and then saw Ann Yizhi beside Gal Angel, an old man with a horse face.

"Why does this horse have a stinky face?"

Gal Angel was a little puzzled, and easily took out an apple-shaped celestial fruit from the four-dimensional rΗ” ditch and handed it over.

The Phantom Pony sniffed, and after a moment of confusion, he opened his mouth to bite the apple, still a little reluctant.

"I guess your big boobs remind it of not very good memories......"

John turned her head in embarrassment, as she had almost strangled the Phantom Pony several times.

Lena, who was holding John by her side, looked at the runway on her chest and was speechless for a moment......

With the Phantom Pony's current ability, not to mention carrying an adult and two and a half children, it is no problem to carry three big men.

It's just that John made it have very bad memories of the 'chest', and always wanted to strike, only relying on the threat of An Yizhi and the celestial fruit taken out by the angel of Gale reluctantly agreed.

However, the Phantom Pony's flight speed is not slow, and it is not much slower than the Dragon Wings when it flies at full strength, just to prevent everyone from being blown into ice by the cold northernmost night wind, and the speed is always maintained at a normal level.

That's enough, after all, it's not too far from the Blue Castle.

After just over ten minutes, An Yizhi saw lights appear in the forest in the distance, and a round, turret-like wall, which protected the village from the fierce monsters of the forest.

But it's a little strange that a small village like this should go to bed at night with the lights off, after all, it's not the kind of commercial big city that works day and night.

Did something happen?

From the sky, it didn't look like an enemy was attacking, but to be on the safe side, Ann pointed out that they landed in the forest near the Blue Castle, so as not to be taken down by the soldiers on the city wall as unscrupulous people.

When they reached the city gates, they found that the atmosphere was indeed tense.

Even through the door opening, which is not too wide, you can see many people running around nervously behind you, and even the guards guarding the door look like they are facing a great enemy, watching An Yi point at them approaching.

"We are mages sent by the Three Towers Alliance to support the Ash Forest, what happened?"

With the previous experience of being misunderstood by the druids, An Yizhi pinned the badge of the Star Tower to his chest early at this time.

When he approached the area illuminated by the torches, the soldiers saw clearly the badge on his chest, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Mr. Mage, the Blue Castle has had quite a few people fall suddenly, if you and your teammates are not in a hurry to resupply, it is best not to enter the city"

Suddenly collapsed?

An Yi pointed and was about to ask for details, but the angel Gale stepped forward and said eagerly:

"Plague?"

If it was really a plague, the angels of Gale would never sit idly by, and maybe they would send a signal to the heavenly realm to send some angels who were good at healing.

"No, it's not a plague, it's more like a strange disease, and our doctor doesn't know what it is......"

Halfway through speaking, the soldier saw the holy wings behind the angel of Gal, and several soldiers knelt down on one knee almost at the same time:

"Miss Angel! Please save the inhabitants of Blue Castle! ”

The gap between this attitude is too big!

There's no way, the mage is in awe for ordinary people, and it's more fear than respect, after all, the ghost knows what means you will use to torture the mage if you accidentally provoke it.

Angels, on the other hand, derive pleasure from helping others in their good deeds, and helpfulness is carved into their souls just as demons like they like to do bad things.

Therefore, when you see an angel running for help, there is a very high chance that the other party will help.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Of course, the angel of Gale will not leave those who need help alone, and An Yizhi also wants to know what happened to the Blue Castle, maybe it has something to do with the main quest that has not been updated yet, and no matter how bad it is, it is a side quest.

So they quickly entered the city and followed the soldiers who led the way towards the center of the village.

On the way, the soldier briefly explained what was going on.

It is said that since yesterday, some people have been collapsing one after another, and the symptoms are drowsiness and nightmares all the time, and although they can regain their consciousness the next morning, their bodies will become extremely weak......

With such obvious symptoms, if everyone can't guess that it is the ghost woman's pot, then they will have a brain in vain.

Depending on the situation, it was indeed the ghost woman's doing, but the number of villagers who fell was quite large, and it is said that more than 20 people were recruited.

Fearing that there might be a problem with the water source, the village chief of Blue Fort immediately told everyone not to drink water from the well, and to fetch water only from the rapids near their camp before sending soldiers and water trucks to the day to arrive.

Thanks to the timely stopping, more villagers would have fallen, and the village herbalist soon discovered that all the well water was contaminated with special herbs.

And there's something odd about that, too.

The ghost woman's ability to erode dreams cannot be distributed in groups, a ghost woman can only erode one person at the same time, and so many people fall at the same time means that there are more than twenty ghost women.

As mentioned before, the Ghost Woman sometimes performs some evil ritual to gather together, but at least twenty or so Ghost Woman attack the inhabitants of Blue Castle at the same time, which is definitely very rare.

The reason is simple, because the ghost woman is not stupid.

With so many people falling at the same time, it will definitely cause the Druids of the Northland Hurricane Circle to feel that if they are angered, they will be surrounded and suppressed, which is more than worth the loss.

In other words, if they did it, they had a reason to do it.

Eroding dreams is the most direct means for the ghost women to gain power, which is not a direct combat power, but something like 'food' that helps them survive without food for many years.

But it takes a lot of life-sustaining power, and it must be that the ghost women know what will happen in the future, so they are collectively hungry.

As for why....... This is unknown.

The fallen villagers were placed in a shrine in the center of the village.

It was originally the temple of the god of guards, Heim, but since the last priest died at the hands of the orcs more than a year ago, the temple never sent a new priest, and the temple gradually fell into ruin.

However, although there is no priest, the foundation of the temple itself has not been lost, and it has the protection of the gods, and those villagers who have fallen due to the erosion of dreams by the ghost woman will feel better here, at least they can maintain their basic consciousness, and not fall asleep and not wake up.

As soon as I entered, I saw a large number of people staying in the chapel of the temple, the long chairs had been moved to the corner, and the villagers who had been recruited were lying on the cushions and moaning, surrounded by their families who were caring for them.

"That's right, the symptoms are relatively mild, but they're almost exactly the same as John's."

Hela looked around and judged in Ann's ear.

Galel Angel took out the harp and was about to start playing. An Yizhi stopped her, turned his head and asked the soldier who led the way:

"Is there a sound-amplifying circle that can make the whole village hear? There may be more for the victims. ”

The soldier didn't understand why Ann Yizhi was asking this, but when he saw Angel Gal nodding, he replied:

"Right ahead, it was originally set up by the priest to notify the villagers of the attack of the orcs."

After all, it is a village deep in the ash forest, and the threat of orcs is the standard 'broadcast'.

"Mr. Soldier, please take me, and I will help these suffering people with sacred music."

It is called a compassionate man, and the soldier who does not know that the angel of Gal is being fooled, he is honored to pat his chest and lead the angel of Gal to the bottom of the statue of Heim in the chapel, where is the location of the amplification circle.

Ann found a herbalist with a medicine box and asked him to look at John. The latter said that John was just a little weak, and that it would be fine to drink some medicine and rest.

Basically similar to Hela's judgment, Ann Yizhi gestured with his eyes, and Hela flew to John's shoulder in understanding, and followed her to see the herbalist dispensing the potion.

John's lack of eyes does not mean that Ann also lacks eyes, and letting Hela look at it is to prevent the herbs from being manipulated.

Because when Galle Angel threw away the harp and pulled out the greatsword before, the harp seemed to hit the stone, and now she was retuning, and John, Lena, and George also followed the herbalist to dispense the medicine, and only An Yizhi remained in place.

And in the midst of the painful moans around him, he heard a somewhat hysterical mutter.

"It's her, it must be her, this child's mother is calling, no, no, I can't let her succeed, but ......."

The voice was soft, like cursing and whining.

Looking in the direction of the sound source, An Yizhi saw a middle-aged man sitting in the corner of the wall, and on the cushion in front of him lay a little girl about seven or eight years old with a painful face, he looked like the girl's father, and his face was full of worry.
