A cold wind blew.

As soon as Stephen arrived near the ancient ruins, Taling 1 scanned the rich negative energy field, which is a domain ability generated in the natural environment, and the rich death aura converges to make the undead creatures feel like fish in water here.

Lots of spirits loom in the mist.

The souls of this world enter the nightmare realm after death, turn into lonely ghosts, and finally completely dissipate and merge into it, and Stephen does not find any existence responsible for sending souls to the Styx.

"These words!"

"It looks seventy percent similar to the text of the Thorsilver era!" Stephen crouched down and looked at the stone tablet in front of him.

It is inscribed with the words "Sudara, the shining pearl of the south, the place where the stars fall." ”

Stars?

Stephen frowned and chewed on these two words, then flicked his dragon skin robe, and the whole person disappeared into the shadows.

The sound of battle was heard ahead.

It seems that the people of the Fifth Ring Tower have already fought against the ghost army stationed here, and according to Stephen's judgment, they should not be in any danger, after all, these ghosts are just ordinary troops in their lifetime. As long as you don't encounter a legendary-level enemy, you won't have any problems with the strength of other high-level wizards.

Stephen walked around from the side.

The city is home to a large number of undead civilians, and as soon as he got close to Stephen, he sensed something was wrong.

Because these civilians are working.

Tending to the flowers, cleaning the streets, carrying goods, etc., Stephen even saw ghosts cooking food, but they just pretended to eat a few bites and then threw it away, in fact, the food was not touched at all.

"They don't seem to know they're dead...... Stephen muttered.

The whole city is very eerie.

It's as if all the undead don't know they're dead, and they work exactly as they were when they were alive.

Of course.

This was without any stimulation, and when Stephen just came over, he noticed that a small group of ghosts had been alarmed by the battle on the other side of the bridge, and then quickly turned into evil spirits and joined the warband.

"What's going on?"

"Is something controlling them? but what power can control so many ghosts in one go?"

Stephen thought for a moment, and some strange white powder appeared in his palm.

Although he was an alchemist, he was also quite proficient in the spells of the Necromancy, and Stephen quickly set up a circle on the ground, and then stood in it.

- "Spiritual Transformation!"

With a faint spell aura, Stephen's figure suddenly became blurred.

Eventually, a ghost between the virtual and the real appeared, and Stephen turned into a translucent ghost, which looked exactly like the other ghosts except for his costume.

- "Camouflage." ”

Stephen waved his hand slightly, and suddenly his outfit looked similar to that of other ghosts, and it was also the style of an ancient robe, and even his appearance was modified to a certain extent.

He tried to get out into the street.

Sure enough, all the ghosts were indifferent to him, and it seemed that they would only attack the living in the vicinity.

"Bring me a drink. ”

Stephen walked around the street and soon found what looked like an inn, but the roof had collapsed, but there were still many ghosts hovering inside. He walked in and sat down, and the other ghosts were visibly stunned for a moment by his arrival, but then returned to normal, but their expressions were still a little dull.

"Your wine. A maid floated over.

At this time, the boss sitting at the bar looked over, and he said slowly: "We haven't had a strange face here for a long time." You're from out of town?"

"Hmm. Stephen nodded.

As soon as he entered this ancient ruin, he noticed that all the ghosts moved in a certain range, for example, in this hotel, other ghosts would not look at it when they passed by.

The innkeeper just asked, then turned to wipe down the bar.

In just one hour, he'd wiped down the bar glass many times.

"What's the people out there?" Stephen waited for a moment, trying to hear what they were chatting, but the ghosts just drank in silence, as if they had no idea of conversing.

The innkeeper glanced up at him and said slowly, "The Stars Festival." ”

"Tomorrow is the festival where the stars are born!"

This sentence seemed to provoke a reaction, and one of the ghosts, dressed as a businessman, looked up and said, "Is Queen Veronica cured?"

Queen?

That's right!

I have heard that this is the city of the ancient witchcraft empire.

"I don't know!"

"Maybe the Chief Wizard Vera has a solution! after all, he is the most powerful legendary wizard in all of Sudara......" Another ghost said.

Sickness?

Stephen's heart moved slightly, and he pretended to be casual and asked, "What disease does the queen have?"

There was a brief silence.

Eventually, the innkeeper spoke slowly, "Nightmare ......"

"Queen Veronica is haunted by nightmares...... The wizards in the palace seemed to be helpless...... But fortunately, Lord Vera, the Chief Wizard, is about to return from overseas......"

Nightmare!

When he heard these two words, Stephen's heart couldn't help but chuckle.

Suddenly.

Everything seemed to be clear, he turned to look at the ghosts in front of him, and then cast his gaze on the many ghosts outside, no wonder they were all repeating some of the same things, no wonder they didn't even know they were dead.

It turns out that they are all trapped in a dream!

These people have no idea that they are dead, they have been under the control of some terrible evil force, repeating everything before death day after day.

"Alert!"

"Anomalous energy fluctuations detected...... Evil spirits detected...... Evil spirits are rapidly approaching ......"

"Unknown Energy Erosion ...... Detected"

"Advise the owner to leave the range of the ancient ruins immediately......"

Suddenly.

Stephen felt a little drowsy, he woke up almost immediately, and turned around and walked outside without looking back.

Something evil has discovered him!

In the mist, some gray shadows suddenly appeared near the inn, like distorted shadows, watching everything nearby with dark red eyes. But fortunately, at this time, Stephen had already walked away, and after a little distance, he directly blessed himself with advanced stealth techniques, and then evacuated towards the outside of the ancient ruins.

There's a more dangerous existence here than a lost lock!

Stephen had to find a way to warn the wizards of the Five Rings Tower, otherwise they might be wiped out if they went too far.
