Chapter 383: Into the Eternal Night

There is always something in the world that can be daunting.

The crowd raised their heads and looked ahead, and in front of them was the western wilderness shrouded in boundless darkness, light and darkness, black and white, which seemed to be clearly separated by invisible walls at this moment. Standing on the ground, everyone can clearly feel the warmth of the warm sunlight shining down from the sky and sprinkling on their bodies. The dazzling light shines above the blue sky, and looking up at the sun's rays makes people feel dazzling.

But when they look down and look ahead, they see the sun's light being cut off coldly in front of an invisible wall. Darkness shrouded the barren wilderness in front of them, as if what was unfolding in front of them was not a piece of land, but a tall, dark chamber that stood tall above the sky.

Although they had been mentally prepared for this, after seeing this scene, everyone's faces couldn't help but change slightly. After all, it's one thing to hear about it, and it's another thing to see it with your own eyes. In the face of such a large-scale eternal night, even the faces of those paladins became much more solemn. After all, from the creation of the Klein Continent to the present, such strange things are rare.

Carter grimaced and gestured to one of his subordinates. Seeing Carter's gesture, his adventurer let go of the rope and whistled suddenly. Hearing his whistle, a black hound whistled out of the adventurer's side with a wild howl, and then rushed into the darkness of the night. All they could see was the small figure of the hound moving back and forth in the darkness for a few times, and then vanished. And seeing this scene, the adventurer was also stunned. Then he hurriedly blew a few more sharp and short whistles, and soon. It wasn't long before a series of roars were heard. The hound reappeared in front of everyone.

However, unlike before, at this moment, in the face of the call of its master, the hound seemed to hesitate, its eyes were red, and it stared at the people in front of it as if it was bloodshot, and then the next moment I saw that the hound suddenly roared, and then opened its fangs and teeth to bite its master.

"Wow!!"

The adventurer obviously didn't expect that his hound would turn back in an instant, and for a while, he didn't have time to resist at all, and could only watch the other party open his big mouth and stretch out his teeth to bite his neck. And at this very time. Carter, who had been silent beside him, suddenly shot out and punched the hound in the body, instantly knocking it away. The other party rolled on the ground several times before stopping.

But even so, the hound didn't seem to have come to his senses, on the contrary, the hair on its whole body almost exploded, and it stared at the people in the convoy in front of it in horror, and then the next moment I saw the hound turn around without hesitation. Jumping forward, with a "poof", the black hound hit his brain on the stone next to him and cracked in front of everyone's eyes, and just whimpered and gasped for breath. Then there was no sound at all.

"Hiss ..............."

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped, in fact, Carter let the hounds go. I just want to see how true the rumors that those who go into the dark will go crazy. It's just that even he didn't expect that this effect would be so strong. The hounds, who were loyal to their masters, did not know their owners just by turning around, and launched an attack on them. He even committed suicide by hitting a rock when he found that he could not escape -- what happened to a dog in that way?

Looking at the dog's corpse, everyone fell silent for a while, and then they turned their heads to look at Qiao Sen, obviously, only this paladin chief had given them an idea.

"Please rest assured."

And in the face of everyone's eyes, Qiao Sen also smiled slightly.

"The Templar has been prepared for this......... We don't need to worry about that. โ€

As he spoke, Jenn gestured to the cardinal sitting in the first carriage, and when he saw Jossen's gesture, he saw that one of the cardinals immediately stood up, took out a bright red flag inlaid with gold trim from the carriage, and inserted it in the groove next to the carriage, and then he closed his eyes and lowered his head, muttering something in a low voice, and soon, everyone felt a faint golden halo suddenly emerge from the banner and spread around. Immediately afterward, everyone felt a sense of refreshment, and the previous hesitation and worry had now subsided a lot. If you look closely, you can even see a barrier emitting a faint white light spreading out in all directions, completely enveloping everyone.

"It's ......... Divine Wing Banner!? โ€œ

Carter is not a fool either, and after so many years of traveling from south to north, he can be regarded as somewhat knowledgeable. Not to mention that he has also been a nobleman for many years, so he naturally knows something about the holy relics in the Templar Order. At this moment, when I saw the bright red flag, I immediately screamed. And even Jenn, who was silent next to him, raised his eyebrows at this moment.

A product of the First Great War of Heaven and Earth, the Legion Banners used by the gods at the time, these banners are rumored to have the blessings bestowed by the gods to protect their warriors from evil and to lose their will to fight. In addition, these banners have a total of twenty-three banners in the Templar Order, corresponding to a total of twenty-three Holy Knights. It is only on the most solemn occasions of celebration that people have the privilege of seeing these relics. It's just that I didn't expect the Templar Order to be so generous this time, and even move these things out.

Said that they just went to an ordinary priest before the ghost would believe it.

"That's right, it's the Divine Wing Banner."

Hearing Carter's exclamation, Jossen's face showed a little pride for the first time.

"This is the banner of our Knights of Light, a battle banner given by the sun god Amunla himself, and under its protection, we are able to shield ourselves from all the erosion of darkness."

"Knight Josson, does this banner really have that much ability?"

Carter withdrew his gaze from the Divine Wing Banner and looked at Jossen in disbelief.

"Under the guardianship of three cardinals. This banner can release a guardian aura with a diameter of two kilometers, and within this aura. We are not affected by any dark sorcery. And everyone will be blessed with divine blessings, even if they accidentally leave the protection range of the aura. As long as you are back under the flag within twelve hours, there will be no problem. โ€

Hearing this, everyone was also much more relieved. In any case, such a protective barrier is indeed quite powerful. And after all, with the credibility of the Templar Order, no one would think that they were talking nonsense, so those adventurers who were still a little shaken also calmed down at this time.

Immediately afterward, the convoy marched again.

Darkness came as expected.

The moment everyone stepped into the darkness, the light in front of them disappeared completely, and only the headlights of the carriage and the faint glow emanating from the Divine Wings Banner remained in front of them. And even in such light. Everything around is also quite dim, as if it were under a kerosene lamp. Soon, however, the experienced adventurers lit the torches, and the mages behind activated a lighting crystal, which finally brightened the entire convoy.

But among them, the most conspicuous is Jenn's carriage. This carriage was originally a product of the lower realm, and the extreme luxury of the demon race was second to none everywhere. It didn't look very conspicuous from the outside, but it wasn't until the darkness that Jenn's carriage showed his unusual and gorgeous sideโ€”the four headlights hanging from the top of the carriage diffused the darkness with a soft white glow. On the jet-black body, the family crest and imprint are magnificent, exuding a bright blue glow. It makes the whole carriage look dreamlike, luxurious and elegant, and everyone who sees it is also amazed. Even those mages who were usually unpretentious showed envy, jealousy, and hatred. And it's no wonder. Others may just be watching the fun, but as mages, they know the value of this carriage very well. Not to mention that the four lights are made of the best glorious rough stones. Even the raw material used to etch family crests and patterns on the body of the car has a long history -- it is pale blue silver, a magical material that automatically absorbs the magic that wanders in the air and stores it. In the eyes of the caster. It was worth ten thousand gold, if a staff could have a piece of pale blue silver the size of a fingernail. Then it will be enough to make even the high-level mages go crazy.

But the pattern and family crest of Jenn's entire carriage were etched in pale blue silver, and the mages who saw it almost didn't even bare out of their eyes. You must know that one of the biggest characteristics of Azure Silver is that it can concentrate and absorb magic power, and a piece of Azure Silver with a thickness the size of a fingernail can store the magic power equivalent to a low-level mage in a day. This shows how valuable this magical metal is, and in Jenn's case, it is only used to absorb magic to supply the carriage itself, which seems to the mages to be like using a nuclear reactor to drive a bus, and such a "extravagant" and wasteful practice does not hurt them to death.

Thanks to these high-level mages who are still sober, they know that a family that can use so much blue silver to decorate their own carriage must not be able to provoke, plus they still have a little bit of sanity, otherwise I am afraid that someone will sneak to Jenn's carriage to scrape down a little at this time.

But Jenn obviously didn't care how envious and jealous these guys were, in fact he was in the carriage right now, leisurely drinking tea with Tinidel. I have to admit that Her Royal Highness the Dark Goblin Princess is not a good travel companion, because she doesn't talk much on weekdays, and even if she does, she will not respond to anything -- in fact, Carter and Josson have both accosted Her Royal Highness the princess, only to be defeated in front of the wall of silence in front of Tinidel, and return in vain.

But Jenn didn't mind that, in fact, he was used to this way of getting along.

"I really didn't expect that Enoa would miss it, which surprised me."

As he drank the black tea in his cup, Jenn spoke to Tinidel. Hearing him, Tinidel blinked and said nothing.

Jenn's exclamation was not unreasonable, and after receiving his order, Enoa rushed to the Temple of the Goddess of Water with Elise and Sofina almost immediately. The result was much more than she expected. She took two people, along with a group of dark elves and thousands of chaos monsters, to search the entire temple of the goddess of water, and in the end, Enoa could only helplessly report to Jenn -- there was not a single ghost in the temple except for a few corpses. And even those corpses are not from the temple, but more like some outsiders. According to Enoya's thoughts, they must have been hiding, but where they were hiding is unknown. Although Enoa had tried to find clues in the corpse, this time she did not find anything useful.

However, Enoa still unearthed an interesting piece of information from the corpses.

That is, before this mutation began, the believers of the Temple of the Goddess of Water seemed to know that danger was coming. (To be continued......)
