West of Candras, noon, Icy Plains. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The bitter north wind mixed with the continuous drizzle kept falling.

"What a hell, why did the elders send me to such a cold and damp ghost place!"

In the vast grassland, a tall and strong man stopped, very depressed and shook the fur cloak he was wearing, although the natural animal fat on the fur did not let this amount of rain seep into the body, but even so, the man was obviously very irritable because he was not adapted to this climate.

"Damn, I really miss the beef soup made by Aunt Marat, if I drink a bowl now, I don't know how cool it will be." The tall man was probably tired, so he sat on a bare rock, "Fortunately, when I went out, my aunt specially made me some beef jerky, and it is really appropriate to stay at this time to eat." As he spoke, the man took out a small bag from his backpack and opened it with a sparkling gaze at the few pieces of beef jerky inside.

"It must be delicious!" As he spoke, he carefully picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

And yet—

"Bah, bah, I'm going to go, did Aunt Marat kill the salt seller?!"

South of the Icy Plains, Dusk, Camp Rogg.

"Whew, I finally saw a foothold, it seems that I don't have to sleep out tonight, it's so cool! I don't know if there's anything good to eat here......"

When he came to the gate of the camp, he noticed something strange around him, for the caravan members who were about to enter the camp had a panicked expression on their faces, as if they would be dragged into hell by the demon if they entered the camp a minute late, and they were all very anxious to drive the cattle dragging the wagons; And the heavily armed and vigilant archers standing at the door add a strong suspenseful atmosphere to the camp.

He stood at the gate of the camp, hesitating to go in.

"Hey, I said big man, you can't get in? Why are you in the way! ”

Because there were many caravans entering at this time, there was only a place left at the door of the camp for only two people to enter side by side, and Ethan was too strong to block the passage alone.

He turned around and saw a blonde woman with a longbow and a spear in her hand. The long ponytail, the piercing tip of the spear, and the faint cluster of arrows all exuded a heroic aura, judging from the sweat crystals on her forehead, she should have walked a long way to come here like herself, but her face was not red or panting, and she did not have any tired expression.

"This woman is very strong......" was his first thought.

"This girl, good figure......" was his second thought.

"Hey, can't you go?"

This sentence interrupted the tall man's bad imagination.

"Allow me to introduce myself, this beautiful young lady." The man cleared his throat and said.

The blonde woman listened and looked at him with interest.

"I, the warrior from the kingdom of Harogas in the Arret Plateau, Ethanhard, am honored to meet such a beautiful young lady as you, and even more honored to make way for such a beautiful young lady as you, please come in!" With that, Ethan turned sideways and moved out of the way.

The blonde woman's brow furrowed, "You say, make way for me?" ”

Ethan was puzzled, this didn't seem to be the conversation General Qualkek had taught in his social etiquette class, "yes, what's wrong with giving way?" ”

"You?! Give me, make way?! ”

"yes."

"Let ?!!"

"yes, yes." Ethan stuttered a little, as the woman suddenly looked like she was going to go berserk.

"You've me off!"

"What?"

"Sister, I still need you to let me go from here, ah?!! Why, look down on women, right? We women can fight for what we women want, so why do you stinky men give it to us with a condescending look and an attitude of charity, ah?!! ......" The blonde woman said, her slender fingers pointing at Ethan's chest, and Ethan involuntarily took a step back......

Ethan was dumbfounded, "He's a madman...... This girl shouldn't have a problem with her head, it's a pity that she looks and has a figure...... Well?! Why am I so unlucky......

"No, no......" Ethan seemed to be trying to defend something.

"Nothing! Nope!! ”

Ethan was already utterly stunned.

"What do you see? Watch me stab you to death with one shot! ”

Seeing that the blonde woman had really dropped out of her spear, Ethan shrank her head in fright, kicked her feet, and walked away.

"Hmph, Arrett's barbarian, he is really uncivilized, unfair, and unbeautiful, and even more unreasonable is that he actually looks down on women, sister still wants you to let him? Sister, one arrow can shoot a hole in this little wall! Whew, whew, I'm mad sister......"

"Ah, travelers from afar, welcome to ......" Kidd had just let go of a merchant who wouldn't pay attention to him, and his eyes were on Ethan again, hoping to squeeze some after-dinner drink money out of the new face.

"Is there a priest from the church in this camp?" Because he had just been scolded by a madwoman and almost stabbed him, Ethan was in a very unhappy mood, so he no longer put General Qualkek's teachings in the first place, and interrupted him mercilessly, almost choking him to death.

"Ahem, ahem, church? Priest? You mean Akara is crazy...... Ahem, funny lady? You just go to the least crowded part of the camp and find her, he likes to be quiet. ”

Looking at the back of Ethan leaving, Kidd prayed slowly in his heart: Oh my God, I wanted to squeeze you for some wine money, but I didn't expect you to go to that mother-in-law by yourself, and you can't get out of it if you are entangled by her, who doesn't know here, I don't dare to steal business with that crazy woman in Akara. Forgive me, Lord Almighty, for not being able to save that poor child......

"Excuse me, are there any church people in this camp?" A voice asked,

Kidd collapsed: Oh my God, what day is it?

The blonde woman came to the outside of Acala's tent, thinking that this priest really had a taste for life and could build such a peaceful corner of his own in a noisy camp.

Lifting the curtain, he saw a woman kneeling on the carpet praying to the idol.

"Excuse me......"

The peculiar silence in the air began to diffuse, so that the blonde woman did not seem to dare to disturb, and she had to sit down and look at the praying woman in a daze.

After about thirty minutes, the blonde woman felt like she was about to fall asleep, and the prayer ended.

The woman stood up, turned her senses and saw someone behind her, so frightened that she almost collapsed. The blonde woman hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and sighed in her heart: What a piousness, I don't even know that there is someone behind......

"I'm so sorry, you were praying when I came in, and I didn't dare to disturb you, so I waited by the side."

"It doesn't matter, God says, 'My servant will preach love in the world and teach the world to understand one another.'" Besides, you haven't done anything wrong, and you really don't need to apologize. Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm a nun of the Society of the Blind, my name is Akara. ”

"You're Akara?"

"Yes, God teaches us not to deceive."

"I'm a warrior of the Amazon tribe of the wetlands, Mavina."

"Oh, it's a guest from a distant place, do you need any help?"

"That's right, three months ago, all the big and small tribes of our Amazon clan gathered together to hold sacrifices, and of course they also did divination, although I was not qualified to enter the divination site at that time, but judging from the patriarch's expression, it should be that there is something very bad in divination."

"Not long after the sacrifice ended, the patriarch approached me and asked me to come to the southern grasslands of Candras to investigate the 'cloud of fear' and the like."

Akara's pupils contracted suddenly, then returned to normal for a very short time, and were well disguised to attract Mahina's attention.

"That's why I ask the local clergy everywhere I go to know about it."

"Well......" Akara muttered for a while, "I'm just God's humblest servant, and some of God's will won't reach us, I just heard that not far from this camp to the west, there is an underground cave, the locals call it 'Evil Cave', and some monsters and monsters have inexplicably appeared in it recently, calculate the time, it should be when you hold a sacrifice, where can you go to see, maybe there will be any clues." ”

"Oh yes, thank you so much for your guidance!"

"No thanks, my child."

As soon as Mavina left, Akara's straighten body suddenly fell on the carpet on all fours as if her skeleton had been removed.

"Oh, why are so many people coming to me today, it's not easy to pretend, I'm tired to death."

Akara stretched several times on the ground, adjusted to the position he felt most comfortable, and muttered to himself, "A cloud of fear? Isn't it him? Looking at the current situation seems to be a bit like. But what can a big man and a little girl do? Forget it, anyway, let them clean up the holes in the ground, save the old lady to pick some medicinal herbs in the future and have to do it herself, if you can't even pass this level, it's better to go back and move as soon as possible! ”

"Oops, my legs, they hurt to death......"

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Ethan packed his bags and prepared to follow Sister Akara's instructions to go to the Evil Cave to investigate. Unexpectedly, I saw some people carrying a few stretchers sneakily and quickly running in the direction of the Akhara tent.

"Looks like someone is hurt...... Ethan thought.

It was almost noon when Ethan found the hole in the vast grassland.

"Damn the grassland, it looks the same everywhere, and there are no landmarks, if I hadn't been smart enough to start making marks, I would have circled around this grassland."

Wiping his sweat, Ethan lit the torch he had brought and slumped into the cavern.

The cavern was rather cold, but Ethan, who was so wary of his surroundings, had no time to care about it.

Who has said that the most fearful thing is not to face an invincible opponent, but to face an unknown and mysterious opponent.

Ethan's situation was like that now, and now he realized that the torches didn't do much in this cold environment, and he always felt that there were bloody mouths in the unfathomable darkness around him, waiting for an opportunity to eat him.

The long knife in his hand creaked as he held it, and the cold sweat had already wet the close-fitting clothes, sticking to his body, which was very uncomfortable.

He was inexplicably a little irritable.

Suddenly, Ethan remembered the method that General Qualkek had taught them before: "How can there be no fear when you go to war?" A warrior who is not afraid is not a good warrior! But fear can't win war, so what to do if you're afraid? When you are afraid, shout out, roar out, and use your voice to terrify your enemies! ”

"Ah........................h

Ethan yelled out the fear that he had been holding back for a long time.

The sound of "rustling" and rolling stones can be heard all around.

"It's like there's really not that much pressure...... Ethan thought.

Keep going deep.
