Two steps to the outside of the cave, slightly staggered from the cave floor, the room seemed to sink from above, but this is a swamp, so it makes sense...... It is estimated that in a few years, maybe this place will sink to the ground like Pigman Island.
"That dark shadow just now is ...... Uh~Left,Right~Uh-huh. Wiel held the torch, the cave was quite spacious, but not all of them had glowing plants, he looked left and right, "It's good that this is not an easy ......" Although it was a slight arc, the cave was straight, at least for now, leading straight to both sides.
Will ran in the direction of the corner of the room just now, after a slight arc, on one side of the stone wall, you can see some cracks in the stone, there is the room where Will just came out, the roof of the cave and the opposite side of the growth of many glowing plants, Will's torch is near, those glowing plants are dimmed.
"Like a mimosa...... "Well, the footprints are still fresh, the shadow...... Ran in this direction? The glowing flowers on the ground were crushed and stuck to the creature's feet, and the footprints glowed faintly, but they stretched in the direction behind Veel's body.
"Reverse? Can't you? "Just now Wei Er clearly saw that the black shadow flashing in the direction in front of him, but the traces on the ground said that the thing was running in the direction he came from." The right direction...... But ...... "Weel, who wanted to catch up, hesitated.
"The footprints span a lot...... The thing ran in a panic and slowed down...... Somewhat cautious. Will frowned and looked back into the darkness behind him, "Is there something in here?" β
Wiel shone the torch on the ground and took a few steps in the direction from which he had come, only to find the glowing footprints faintly disappear a few steps away.
"Which direction should I chase?" Will was caught in a conflict, in the direction he saw in the room? Or follow the direction of the footprints? If you listen closely, there is no sound in the cave, only the crackling of burning torches echoes through the cave.
In the end, Veel chose the direction of the footprints, after all, the shadow may have been dazzled, and if the thing was running, there was no reason why footsteps could not be heard.
Will ran in the direction he had come...... Then he went to the end of the cave.
"Law! Gram! Ver slammed his fist into the stone wall. A small puddle, two vines, half a beam of light, and a patch of darkness make up where Veel is.
It was only after this that Weier realized the meaning of the footprint just now, which clearly meant that after running over, he heard his own shout, and then took a few steps back, and then must have run to the other side.
But now, even if you go back, you can't catch up. The roof of the cave is high, but outside is a clear blue sky, "sky...... The sound should be able to reach the outside. β
Wiel stuck his torch in the crack in the stone, jumped onto the stone that was slightly sideways, stretched his hands into the shape of a trumpet, and shouted into the gap, "Hey! Anyone!! Boreth! Captain Hierro! Feed! Ver shouted loudly, and the sound reverberated throughout the cavern, even causing the vines to sway slightly.
After shouting for a long time, no one answered, but the sound of some seabirds and waves came from above, and Weir sat on the stone depressedly, looking at the puddle under the beam with some depression.
"High priest, you just heard ......" Hierro's voice came from beyond the gap. It seems that in this direction, the voice just now sounded like a Wille...... Vere?! Where are you? β
"I'm here! Feed! I'm here! When Vere heard the voices of Boris and Hierro, he immediately stood up and shouted out of the chasm.
The voices outside fell silent, and after a while, a pair of eyes peeked out of the gap. "Huh! Why are you kid down there? Hierro's voice came, "Fell?" β
"Will in there?" Boreth stood beside Hierro, watching the captain lie down in the crevice, looking inside, the side behind the ruins against the sea, and the low level behind the small slope where the ruins were.
"Well, High Priest, that kid is in there......" Hierro continued to shout inside, "when did you kid go inside?" What are you going to do? Why don't you say it? β
"I don't know! ~I was already in it when I woke up...... Did you see the fish-man guide? Weir shouted inside.
"Isn't that guy with you?" Hierro spoke with confusion in his tone.
"It's not there either." Boris's voice came.
Vere muttered, "Is it really it?" β
"Who is it?" Hiero heard an echo from the cave.
"I found footprints over there, they were fish-man footprints, but I thought they were other fish-people, but I didn't expect them to be fish-man guides."
"You said you found footprints? Is it? Is it a guide's? Boreth asked.
Wiel replied, "Yes, but I'm not sure if it's the Fish-Man Guide...... Now I'm probably sure. After all, there are no other fish-people here......
"Can you come up? Brat? β
"Unless you're in a skylight somewhere. This seems to be under the secret door. β
"Go up, Wiel, and we'll go down through the secret door." Borris's shadow came to the side of the rift, and a starlight fell from the crack. "Take it, and I'll find you."
"A leaf?" Ver took the light in his hand, and the light faded away.
"Boy, be careful, the High Priest and I will go down now." Hierro's eyes always left the crack, and the beam returned to normal.
"Then I'll find it myself." Vere answered, and the footsteps above faded away.
Putting the leaves in his pocket, Weir picked up the torch and jumped off the stone platform, and there was a noise in his backpack, and Weir froze.
"By the way, I'm taking a small box...... "Will takes the backpack off his back and takes the box out." What's in it? β
Will shook slightly, and the sound of stones and wood colliding could be heard inside, "It seems to be a stone...... Well, there's some soft cloth and stuff like that. β
As he descended into the beam, Vere flipped over the box, found the clasp, opened it, and lifted the lid.
"I'll go!!"
The beam of light shone into the box, and many gems and a few small dolls made of cloth were placed inside. "Baby!"
I flipped through it a little and found that there was a small note at the bottom of the box, which had been yellowed and full of loopholes, and I couldn't see it clearly.
"I'm going to ...... Hide...... Look for. "......Looks like someone hid this thing here......" Will put the note back in the box, "Looks like it's cheapened for me." β
At the moment when Vere opened the box, the long-lost 'Ding! A sound rang in Weel's mind.
"Got something new to make?! β¦β¦ Could it be the Shadow Manipulator for Magic Upgrades? β
Vere immediately immersed himself in the interface of Famine, "Ice Wand...... Purple Jewel ......" Will first looked at the two things that needed gems. "Jewel...... What's in the Workshop...... It would be nice if the key had some large-scale magic...... Large-scale magic? β¦β¦β
"Volcanic fire rain...... Voodoo dolls, rubies, nightmare fuel......" Will looked at the option, stared at it for a long time, and reached out to point out.
Will out of the state of immersion, the doll and ruby in the box in front of him have disappeared, Will pouted, looking at the remaining sapphire in the box, Will transformed a spear in his hand, and then a burst of blue light flashed.
A delicate wooden stick appeared in Wiel's hand, and a sparkling blue crystal floated over the head of that stick.
"This is the Ice Wand?"
Ver pointed his wand forward, pouring the magic power into his hand, but no ice crystals came out. And Veil discovers that the wand making option that existed has become an unselectable gray-black.
"And the sapphire...... This is? I'll have to look into it...... So that's it...... Hiss~ The cost of wanting to cast magic is really high. β

Last night.
"Whew~" Ollie woke up.
I felt tired, my ears moved, and my eyes were open.
"Whew~"
His tail seemed to be pressed by something...... "Whew! ~" Ollie jumped out of bed.
Pease was lying on the edge of the bed, clutching Ollie's tail and resting his head on it, soft, warm and comfortable...... ξ»οΌ It's hard!
Pease woke up with his head covered, and found Ollie lying on the bed awake, but he was standing there with his hair blown, holding his tail.
"Whew! ~β
"Big fox, you're awake~"
The smell of medicine in the room was strong, and Ollie found that he was facing a small star spirit instead of a poisonous snake, and slowly relaxed.
Then I started sneezing constantly.
"You're still rubbing your nose...... It's so cute......" Watching Ollie groom his tail, Pease's eyes were full of little stars.
"Whew~!" I don't know if Ollie in this state can understand, anyway, after Pease said this, Ollie first gave Pease a blank look, and then jumped on Pease's head in two steps, running from behind Pease to the door like a gust of wind.
"Big fox, you can't go...... I promise Brother Weir to take good care of you. Pease saw that Ollie was about to run out, and he stood up anxiously.
Ollie, who walked to the door, was suddenly stunned.
Then it sniffed the wind coming from outside with its small nose.
Then Ollie's fur exploded from bottom to top.
Ollie glanced back at Pease, and his eyes moved when he heard the word 'Wiel'.
Then, he ran up to Pease, pulled Pis on his trouser leg with his hand, and pulled Pease out.
Pease watched Ollie come back and leaned down to pick it up, "Big fox, it's getting late outside, we're going to wait here for Wille to come back." With that, he was about to carry Pease to the bed.
Ollie saw that Pease was about to walk back, his two front paws were propped up to the sides, and under Pease's surprise, he stood on the ground, "Wow! Wow~Wow~! β
Pointing to the outside of the door, then, without waiting for Pease to react, rushed out.
"Hey~ Big fox, come back quickly!" Pease looked at the moonlight outside, then inside the room, where Ollie was standing not far from the doorway staring at him, "You...... I ......" said as he stomped his foot and chased after Ollie, "Don't run! Come back! β
One chases, one runs.
Pease did not find that the whole village ...... The silence is terrible.
