28: The Legend of the Dead in the Millennium City

The plains of the Ranffindor are vast enough to be described as endless, and even the horses under them are not running fast, and there is still no short distance, but they still don't see the town.

However, fortunately, there were no beasts blocking the way, but there was a dirt road that ran through the entire plain of Lanffindor in such a vast plain, and perhaps this abandoned dirt path connecting the two countries was not as bleak as it seemed on the surface.

Night had fallen, and Takitsu and Devile Wood sat by the fire, and the horses lay quietly on the grass, enjoying the tender and delicious green shoots.

Before that, a few days had passed, and after Takitsu and the others had also come to the vast plains of Lanffindor, the supplies they were carrying were almost exhausted.

A huge curtain obscures the sky, and that's the gesture of the night.

The dark sky was shrouded in mist, and there was no light in the night sky that Takijin looked up at, and even the dazzling stars such as the stars were hidden in the dark curtain.

The cold air condensed into droplets of water on the leaf buds, and everything from the sky to the end of the earth was shrouded in the darkness of the night.

The grasslands of Lanffindor are unimaginably vast, and there is darkness everywhere that cannot capture any color, making it impossible to distinguish what kind of environment is around them, only the flickering fire in a corner of the darkness shines on the two of them.

It was the last light in the darkness, and the last warmth of the Lanffindor grassland at night.

A cold cold wind swept across her face, and Devile Wood inadvertently clasped her hands to her chest.

"Put it on, it's still a long time before dawn."

Takichen handed the coat to Devile Wood, which was a little thin, but barely able to withstand the cold wind.

"It's okay."

"You need it more now than I do."

Takichen carefully draped his coat over Devile Wood, and there was a reassuring feeling in his tone, "It's also my responsibility to protect my companions from the cold wind during the journey. ”

After silently accepting Takichen's kindness, Devile Wood moved closer to Takichen.

What kind of magic can hide the starry sky? Such a quiet and dark night sky couldn't help but make Takichen feel a little confused.

Last night, Takichen had observed the Lambedod Forest under the night sky, whether it was the starry sky or the full moon, it was just as beautiful under the same sky, even on the periphery of the forest, it was enough to see the Ranffindor Grassland under the moonlight.

"The same sky? I seem to have overlooked something..."

Takichen looked at the dark sky without any stars again.

The darkness that seemed to absorb all the light, even if the bonfire in front of him shone on the small figures of the two of them, it still looked a little dim.

The occasional wind blowing in the darkness carried a biting cold, and even Takizu felt the biting chill of the cold wind, but the change in temperature had almost negligible effects on Takichen.

It is very unusual to feel the coldness of the wisps blowing by in this dark night when you can't see your fingers.

"Is this the world full of magic? I didn't expect it to affect me, but it was only a little bit of an impact. ”

Takichen's heart felt a little surprised for the first time for a long time, he was very clear about his physical condition, and he would definitely not feel cold because of this sudden drop in temperature.

Devile Wood curled up beside her, the effects of the low temperature.

"It's cold tonight, isn't it?"

"Well, I didn't bring warm clothes."

"We're probably in trouble."

After hearing what Takichen said, Deville Wood's somewhat puzzled gaze looked at Takichen, and after feeling her puzzlement, Takichen moved his gaze to the Ranffindor grassland shrouded in darkness.

Years of keen sense of danger reminded Takitaki that the Ranffindor grasslands at night seemed a little unfriendly to creatures.

"How do you see the difference compared to the night sky you see in the forest?"

"There are no stars or moons."

Devile Wood glanced at the night sky, and for a moment did not understand, even the night sky seen in the forest was sometimes pitch black.

"It's not really a night sky."

The atmosphere couldn't help but be a little depressing, unknown dangers were brewing unscrupulously in the dark, there seemed to be countless dazzling eyes staring at the two people under the firelight in the dark, Takichen couldn't help but clench his fists, and his expression was a little dignified.

"It's so quiet, the temperature is unusual, and the darkness of the night is eroding the light."

After hearing Takita's words, Devile Wood stood up, the cloak draped behind her back swayed freely with the cold wind blowing by, and she saw that the flame that was not dazzling in the cold wind, even if it was still burning, the light emitted by the fire was very faint.

The area was called Lanffindor, and as Takichen had seen during the day, it was just a vast grassland, with a whole blue sky shining overhead. However, at this moment, there seemed to be something in the land that had broken free from the shackles of the earth and was quietly approaching the two of them.

Takichen noticed the ground, and the unknown species stained with mud slowly lifted the turf, and the invisible weirdness vied to embrace the night.

"Watch your step!"

The not-so-loud sound of bones clearly reached the ears of the two of them in the dark night, and Takichen reminded Devile Wood beside him.

"Hiss~"

The frightened horses vanished into the night, and a few screams fell silent in the darkness, matching the number of horses.

"Click~Click~"

Dirt-stained bones emerged from the fire, writhing strangely, one end of the bone blackened by the flames.

After the restless bone stirred, the fire gradually went out, which was not good news for Takichen and them.

"It's the inhabitants of Manhak City, and they're going to kill anyone who breaks in."

There was some disgust and uneasiness on Devierwood's expression, and it was clear that she knew what these things were.

"Residents? It's better that we're in the graveyard of the undead, and the blackened skeleton is restless. ”

Takichen had never seen a real undead, and even the zombies made by Moonlight Moria after stuffing a shadow into the corpse could not be called a real undead, and now, this creepy scene slowly opened in the dark night.

Countless bones rushed out of the ground, and the endless sea of skeletons quietly melted into the night, and the surroundings of the two of them were now covered with hundreds of invisible bones, and in this darkness, their forms seemed to be cast with transparent magic.

The sound of "cluck~cuck~" came into Takichen's ears, and those weird bones clumsily swung their bone claws towards Takichen, but they pounced in the air, and the fragile skeleton was shattered by Takichen instead, and then slowly condensed from the ground.

"It's terrible to be able to feel them and not see them."

Although Takitaki was a little reluctant to believe it, he had to admit that this was similar to the magic of the Nightfall Land, which was very powerful, and it could even erode the light.

"Beneath this land are the ruins of Manhak City, and the bones that have been endowed with transparent magic have come to the ground from Manhak City, and even if the bones are broken apart, they will be reunited."

Devierwood tugged at the clothes that Takitaki had draped on her back, and there seemed to be some desperation in her expression, although she was half-elf, she did not have the equivalent strength to compete with them, and when faced with these invisible bones, she was almost indistinguishable from the average adventurer.

"The legend of the millennium is real."

"A thousand-year legend?"

"The city of Manhak was the most prosperous country thousands of years ago and a bridge between the various races, but one day it completely disappeared from the view of the living. These are the spirits of the undead of Manhac City, and the inhabitants who once lived there, who have been tainted by darkness, unclean, filthy, fearful, and the seeds that belong to the dark side of darkness have grown. ”

"Is there any way to get out of here?"

"No one can get out of the boundaries of Manhak City unharmed, and those who have entered here have been imprisoned forever in Manhak City, which is a transcendent area of magic, and is no longer part of the normal world, but the barrier will disappear during the day."

"Can I understand that this is another space? Wait until daylight... It seems like a long time. ”

"If it were you, even if I didn't see the outside world, I wouldn't feel sorry, you've already told me a lot of stories I don't know."

"Now is not the time to say something discouraged, in that case, then smash these bones to pieces!"

Takichen held Devierwood's slightly trembling hand, and with the domineering perception of seeing and hearing, Takichen had already simulated the general outline in his mind.

"Don't you want to go out into this world? Please rely on me at this time, even if it is only a temporary companion now, I have no reason to let you go, especially if these fragile bones alone can't stop me. ”

"Takitaki..."

"Let's go, it's time to get out of here, those who hide in the dark can't tolerate us in their eyes."
