Chapter 1240: The Forest of Ashes (11)
The shape of the basin was too regular and unnatural, and it felt more like it had been blasted with the ultra-powerful explosion spell of Burst Magic.
However, a circular basin with a radius of about a kilometer is only a crater.......
Was it the Wizarding World version of the atomic bomb that exploded?
I won't investigate what caused the basin to be formed for the time being, because An Yi pointed out that they found the target very smoothly on the way here.
The light of the fire is most conspicuous in the night, and the flames of the sparse forest under the basin can be seen from afar.
At first, they thought it was an adventurer from the Silver Moon Federation, but after An Yizhi adjusted his vision with the Secret Eye, he realized that it was the master they were looking for.
- Ghost Woman.
This result was quite surprising, and An Yizhi thought that it would take a lot of effort to find those elusive guys, but he didn't expect it to be easy to find.
However, An Yizhi does not plan to approach from the air to launch a surprise attack, the ghost woman's eyes are better than many mortals, although the distance is far away from them for the time being, but if you have the intention of coming from the sky to a wave of heavenly justice, you will be detected before you make a move.
So Ann beckoned the Phantom Pony to descend as soon as he pointed away, and the four of them returned to the surface and walked through the forest in the direction of the firelight.
An Yizhi had a soft voice technique and camouflage technique, and everyone was careful enough, so he had to 'move' in the forest for almost twenty minutes before he slowly touched the location where he could see the ghost woman's camp.
It was a deliberately cut down open space in the forest, about 100 square meters, which is not very large. Seven or eight thick logs lay across the ground, surrounding the central bonfire.
The flame was not golden or red, but white with some pale green color, which also made the light of the fire quite permeable, and at first glance it was not a good thing.
The ghost woman raised her hands around the green bonfire, muttering something intermittently, and the sound was not only harsh, but also very ugly.
The Ghost Woman has her own language, which is similar to a gift, just like the Treants can use pheromones to communicate with their own kind over long distances, the language cannot be learned, so Hela doesn't know what the hell they are reading.
But one thing is certain, these ghost women are somewhat angry.
Catching the visual distance adjustment function of the secret eye, An Yizhi can clearly see the ghost woman's indignant face....... saying that the image of the ghost woman is really a perfect interpretation of what an old witch is, it is hard to imagine that the category of this thing is actually the same category as the little fairy who appeared in the animated story.
A ghost woman pointing in their direction from the side of Ann reached out and pulled a rabbit out of the cage behind her, disemboweling it despite its struggles and long fingernails.
Then he took out all the internal organs of the rabbit, and sprinkled the internal organs into the bonfire, forming a large piece of blood.
The green campfire swelled violently, but soon returned to its original size.
- This made the ghost wives even more angry.
[What ceremony should these ghost women be holding]
Hela said via psychic communication:
[It may be related to those victims of Blue Castle, after all, there are dozens of victims, and it may not be possible to do it with the personal ability of these ghost women]
Ghost women are familiar with some evil dark rituals, they usually hold these rituals in small settlements of 12~4 people, and the effects of the rituals are also varied, such as curses, teleportation, future prediction, etc.
John was beside Ann's finger, and she quietly pointed to the ghost woman in the clearing, as if asking when to do it.
An Yizhi shook his head, signaling to be calm.
It's a good thing that John has become a lot more active in combat, but she has too little experience to use to her advantage.
The current situation is that the enemy is overt and we are in the dark, and the initiative is in our own hands, so we cannot make the first move, and only by giving priority to probing the other side's composition, combat effectiveness, terrain, and so on can we get twice the result with half the effort.
Behind them, Lena and George took out their notebooks and kept writing something, which was probably the experience summary of every action Ann Yizhi, no matter how small the habit, it would be irreplaceable wealth in the future when they went out on adventures alone.
An Yi pointed to the Dharma seal in his hand, and the secret magic eye that was originally hidden in the treetops walked around the central clearing, and went around to the other side of the clearing, so that he could see the situation in the clearing more clearly.
There are a total of 8 ghost women in the eyes of the secret law, 4 of which are ordinary ghost women, similar in appearance to the old witch, on the other side of the bonfire, on the side where they can't see clearly with the naked eye, there are 4 of them covered with black feathers, and their beaks and noses are almost integrated, turning into organs similar to the beaks of birds.
This is the crow ghost woman, which is a subspecies of the ghost woman, the level is 5 levels higher than the ordinary ghost woman, and the overall ability is no different from the ghost woman, but they have their own flying ability, even if they don't fly fast, it is a great advantage to be able to fly.
Thanks to An Yizhi's careful use of the arcane eye to take a look, if he rashly attacked, Lena and George, two weak chickens who were only a dozen levels, would definitely be smashed by the flying ghost woman.
Rejoicing in her foresight, Hela said through psychic communication.
[Look, the ghost wives have a new ceremony, which looks like remote communication]
An Yizhi refocused his gaze on the image from the arcane eye, and could see the ghost women throwing all kinds of strange materials into the green campfire, such as the corpses of small animals, mushrooms, and herbs bundled into small handfuls.
The smell of incineration reached An Yi, who was far away, and it was honestly spicy.
John hurriedly whispered the spell of air filter bubble to everyone, although the magic aura was faint and conspicuous in the night, but their luck was okay, the attention of the ghost women was on the ceremony, and no one glanced at the forest where the four of them were hiding.
That particularly ugly prophecy echoed again, like an accusation and a cry, more like a curse that could not be connected into a sentence, and it was very annoying.
And in the chorus of the ghost women, the green bonfire in front of them changed again.
The flames swirled and scattered, and then writhed and converged, and the scattered sparks were as cold as if they had no temperature, and this change became more and more violent with the voice of the ghost woman, and at last, the bonfire exploded with a bang.
In the scattered flames, a special green sigil stood above the bonfire like a 3D projection, a badge that resembled a clown mask, and was decorated with teardrops......
Mom sells batches! The Shadow Order?
An Yizhi almost recognized it at a glance as the emblem of the Shadow Order, after all, strictly speaking, the ones who had the most hatred with him were those guys, and demons and other things could only be ranked second.
However, compared to the demons who like to jump up and down to do things, the Shadow Order can be said to be very low-key. If Ann Yizhi remembered correctly, it seemed that the Shadow Order hadn't encountered it for a long time, and the last time he encountered these gutter rats was before the first pinnacle tournament.
After that, I didn't hear anything from them for more than a month (real time), as if they were all hidden.
This does not mean that they have disappeared, for an organization that is good at operating in the shadows, it means that the other party is lurking deeper, and the deeper they are lurking, it means that they are continuing to strength.
As for what the purpose......
Hela's information about the Shadow Order is also very limited, they are an organization that has been active for a long time, and Nikolai speculates that it may have existed at the beginning of the establishment of the White Hand Society of thieves throughout the multiverse, and there is even uncertain evidence that they existed during the period when the Elder Elves and Dragons were prosperous.
If this is true, then they are the longest-lived organization in the entire multiverse, and they are still active today.
Their true purpose was completely unknown, and the few times Ann had encountered the Shadow Order collecting the pages of the Book of the Dead was already their largest operation in thousands of years.
If so...... Got a page from the Book of the Dead nearby?
This made An Yizhi's mind a little more lively, after all, his legendary item collection task was still far away, and there were only 7 copies of the Book of the Dead today, most of which were in the hands of the Shadow Order, maybe he could get one or two more copies this time.
Anyway, what kind of ghosts are the Shadow Order, they are too hungry to eat, and even if there are shadow demons who are good at stealth actions, how can they even accept guys like ghost women who hinder the appearance of the city......
He complained silently in his heart, and there was a new movement on the ghost woman's side.
One of the ghost women said something loudly to the emblem above the campfire, although she was speaking the lingua franca this time, and it took a long time for Ann to understand the phrase "There are no pages in the secret room" because of the distance.
The Shadow Order is still looking for the page!
But what the hell is the secret room?
Then, in the arcane eye, the ghost woman who had just shouted pressed her long dry fingers against her temples and made a movement as if she was pulling something.
A wisp of white flocculent with a glowing glow was pulled out and thrown at the badge above the campfire.
Memory retrieval,It's not a too advanced spell.,It's just a spell that extracts part of your memory and shows it to others.,The grade is only E.。
An Yizhi suddenly realized that the badge was not only a symbol of connection, but also had a certain ability to teleport, and that part of the ghost woman's memory should be a proof that they did not find the pages in the 'secret room'.
In this way, the relationship between the ghost woman and the Phantom Order can be regarded as intimate, but it is not all the way, there is no subordination, and eighty percent is cooperation.
But more than that, Ann was more concerned about the secret room they were talking about and where the pages of the Book of the Dead were.
As he continued to look, the badge floating above the campfire flashed, presumably in response, but without making any sound, closer to some conventional code.
The ghost women seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, and a smile appeared on the terrible ugly face full of wrinkles. Then the Shadow Order emblem above the campfire crackled, and sparks that turned green again fell into the fire.
An Yizhi secretly watched all this through the arcane eye from a distance, and thought:
It should be a fucking vote......
