CHAPTER XXIII

Eulasia: Uh-huh

Kane: Holy Maiden?

Your body temperature is getting lower and lower. It seems that because of the magic bug, the body has become weak.

Yuxia: I'm sorry for always getting you in trouble

Kane: Don't say that again.

It can't go on like this. We need to find a place to rest.

Is that?

(The bear's carcass was still killed by an arrow.) )

(This means that there are humans living in this area.)

(It's best to look for this human.) )

Kane: We're passing through here.

Can you borrow a place for us to warm up?

Oh, and no one would want to travel to such a remote place

Kane: Carefully, I'll go into more detail about that later. Can you let us in first?

Hunter: Ahhh The girl's face really looked like she couldn't delay any longer.

Got it. Come on in.

Hunter: Tut-tut, it's as cold as an ice cube. yes, who told her to wear such thin clothes to such a cold place.

Kane: Is there any way to warm her up?

Well, first of all, we have to make the fire in this fireplace a little hotter, and then put on a leather coat for this girl.

Go find 10 Fire Crystals for the Fire and 10 of the Wolf Skins for the Leather Coat

Fire Crystals can be obtained from Spectral Fire in the vicinity. This girl's face is getting worse and worse, you better hurry up.

Hunter: Alright, the fire in the fireplace is burning hot enough now, it should be a little warmer.

And this is a leather coat made of materials you got, so put it on for her.

After wearing this clothing, you should be able to maintain your body temperature.

Kane: Thank you.

Hunter: You two are really guilty of coming to such a cold place.

Kane: I, we're not

Hunter: Hehe, I'm going to smoke a cigarette. You two have a good rest.

Kane:

Yuxia: I'm sorry Kane

Kane: Why do you say that?

Eusia: I seem to have caused Kane too much trouble

Kane: No. I didn't bother.

Yuxia:

But I think I'm so sorry for Kane

If something happens to me Kane

Kane: It's something I choose voluntarily. It's not like you make me trouble, as you say.

I will definitely save the Holy Maiden. I won't watch you being used by the scum of those empires anymore.

Yuxia: Kane

Kane: As soon as you get to that temple, everything will be fine. So worry no more.

Yuxia: yes

Thank you so much, Kane

Kane: I think we'd better rest here for a day before we go.

Don't think about anything now, just take some breath.

Yuxia: Ah, Kane

Kane: What's wrong?

Eusia: Can you stay with me?

Kane:

Eulcia: I don't want to be alone

And with Kane by my side, I can feel more at ease

Kane: Got it. I just don't leave.

Eustia: Thank you, Kane

Hunter: How's that? Are you feeling better?

Yuxia: Wearing warm clothes for a day off, it's much better now. Thank you so much.

Hunter: That's good.

By the way, where are you going?

Kane: I've heard there's an ancient elf temple around here, and we're going to go there.

Hunter: What?? You're here for that place too?

Kane: Do you know where it is?

Hunter: He's in danger in that place. I've seen a lot of people go to the temple. But none of them came back.

I'd advise you not to go there. I'm sure you'll be one of them.

Kane: No matter how dangerous it is, I'm going there.

Kane: Please. If you know how to get there, just let us know.

Yuxia: Kane

Hunter: Well, since you're so persistent.

There is a bridge over the valley to the north of here, and after hearing about it, you will go to the temple.

But no one has used it for more than 30 years, and now the bridge is old.

There are a lot of thick trees around here. As long as you cut down some trees, I'll help you fix this bridge.

Kane: Got it.

Hunter: Then I'll wait for you at the bridge.

Hunter: That's it. Be careful.

Eulsia: Thank you so much. I'm really bothering you.

Hunter: Hehe, nothing. I wish you all found what you need.

Kane: Well, goodbye.

Yuxia: Here it is

Kane: Looks like a place where people who came to the temple once stayed.

Maybe there will be some clues. I'll look for it

Nothing

Mankind?

Woman: Are you here to find you? A temple of ancient elves?

Kane: yes, who are you?

Woman: Please take this

Kane: What is this?

Woman: It's my husband's necklace, and it's been a long time since he came to the elven temple.

He never came back, so I came to look for him, but after I got here, there was no more clue

If you meet my husband, show him this necklace and tell him I'll wait for him here

Kane: Hey, wait.

We don't have time to help you with that

Woman: Please

Kane: W-what?!

Eusia: It looks like a ghost

Even if she becomes a ghost, she is still waiting for her husband

But since she's all a ghost, isn't her husband?

Kane:

Yuxia: Anyway, if you can meet people, ask them.

Maybe it's not necessarily alive.

Even if she died, she couldn't forget her husband, how lonely and miserable she must have been all these years

Kane: Got it. Let's move on.

Yuxia: Village?

Kane: That's a bit weird. There was such a large village near the temple

Let's ask the people in the village about the village and the temple first.

Kane: Are you here for the temple too?

Claude: The temple may have been

Kane: Ever? What does that mean?

And how can there be a village here?

Claude: yes, it's better to know first, rather than trying to do it yourself.

The village seems to have been set up as a kind of seal to protect the temple.

Eustia: Seals?

Claude: You can see the fog around this village, too.

Claude: Whoever enters the village is almost impossible to get out again.

Yuxia: No, there would be such a thing

Claude: yes, it's unbelievable. But it's an indisputable fact.

So, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Don't waste your efforts.

Yuxia: This

Eusia: If this is true, then we are not

Kane: No, it won't. I wouldn't have believed it until I confirmed it with my own eyes.

Yuxia: Kane

Kane: Let's go back the way we came.

Euldia: We're back in the village again

Kane:

Claude: You should take my word for it, right?

Kane: Isn't there a way to break the seal?

Claude: Didn't I tell you? Many people have tried, but none of them have succeeded.

Kane:

But I must find the temple

Kane: If you don't know how to break the seal, tell me who has tried.

Claude: Looks like you still haven't understood me. In that case, go and meet the village chief, Erfan.

Claude: Elvan was a very good magician. We all thought that if anyone could figure out a way out of the village, it would be none other than him.

However, in the end, he did not succeed. From then on, we never thought about leaving the village.

If you're looking for Elvan, head to the graveyard deep in the forest west of the Misty Forest.

Kane: Are you Elvan?

Elfan: It's a fresh face. Is there anything wrong with coming to me?

Kane: I've heard you've been trying to break the seal in the village for a long time.

Can you tell me about the seal. Even a little hint will do.

Elfan: If there was such a thing, would I still be like this?

Like you said, I did try for a long time but ultimately failed.

I haven't found any clues yet

Kane: Is there really no clue at all?

Elfan: yes, nothing. I don't have anything left now

That's all I can say, you better go back.

Kane: Got it.

(It seems that there is no more useful information from him.) )

(But you can't just give up.) There's no reason I can't find a clue.)

(I think I'd better go back and ask the people in the village first.) )

Kane: Are you Dominic?

Dominica: Dominica?

It's been a long time since I've heard that name! Yes, I'm Dominic.

Who are you? It's a strange thing, did you just come to the village?

Kane: Well, I'm here to ask you something.

Dominic: Really? What a pity! But that's what the world is. Often one wrong step is an abyss. I wanted to turn around only to find that it was too late. Am I not the same way?

Kane: (He seems to have gone crazy when he broke the seal.) )

(Let's see, don't expect any valuable clues from his mouth)

Do you know how to break the seal on this village?

Dominica: Seals? I haven't heard this word in a long time. Seal, seal!!

I don't know.

I don't know, I don't know. I really don't know~. Don't bring up this terrible thing again.

Kane:?

Dominic: No, that sounds like a terrible word! Absolutely not to touch! Absolutely can't be mentioned! Absolute!

Yuxia: Looks like you know something about seals.

Dominic: Hahaha, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!

Ha~ Isn't it too cold here? No! I don't want to die!

Eulcia: Don't be afraid. No one will hurt you.

Eustia: I'm sorry if we scared you, I apologize to you.

Dominic: Huh? No, it's not. I'm fine

Yes! You guys look like you're looking for something, right?

Seeing such a beautiful young lady, I suddenly wanted to give a gift.

Oh, give~ I don't know if you like it or not, but this is my heart. I don't think it's annoying, right? Well?

Kane: What is this?

Dominic: Hehe, this is a Seal Stone. As long as you collect the last seal of the 4 unlocking seals, you can completely lift the seal of this village~ Is this what you are looking for?

Kane: Do you remember how you got this thing?

Dominic: Of course I do! Don't look at me like this, my IQ is very high!

Eulcia: Can you take us to that place?

Dominic: Hmm~~Okay, good~. I ignore other people's words, but this beautiful young lady is different.

Dominic: Then come with me to the East Cave. That's where I picked up this Seal Stone.

Dominic: Don't hesitate. Those who grind and chirp are about to become snails.
