Chapter 657: A Strange Place of Refuge
Nazmir in the daytime feels slightly better, and what makes people feel better is the new news brought back by the magic eagle: there seems to be a normal life area.
Of course, not everyone is so optimistic.
For example, Kane, who has always liked malicious speculation, always feels that in such an environment, having a normal life zone means that it is abnormal.
Crassus the Red Dragon agrees with Kane, while the two queens find the idea too negative.
Kane felt that it didn't matter, things could be predictably negative, and the attitude to solving things should be positive.
He wasn't going to grind anymore, so he was ready to hit the road.
He thinks it's good to have the same pattern as yesterday's exploration of Yazma's temple, with the dragons guarding the house, spying on intel and fixing some mundane problems.
After consulting with Alexstasa and Ysera, both queens agreed.
So, they went their separate ways.
The Asylum will travel through the waters, and Kane added an invisibility rune system to it early this morning to avoid prying eyes from ordinary perspectives.
As for energy peeping, the Devourer's torso has a characteristic, that is, it lacks life characteristics like a rock, and it is precisely because of this attribute that it can wait for work and better prey on the life that intrudes into its domain.
Therefore, as long as the visual invisibility is completed, the asylum has the characteristics of complete invisibility, and only the existence of a certain amount of magical power like the guardian dragon and the like has the possibility of not applying any true vision technique, as long as it enters a certain range, it can be discovered.
According to the terrain information sent back by the Magic Eagle, the Asylum could not reach the normal area, but could anchor in a puddle relatively close.
There are twisted mosquitoes everywhere, like dark clouds, and the sound of flapping wings is extremely noisy, comparable to the chirping of cicadas on a summer night, which is obviously not a good place, but it can be a good umbrella, and I believe that not many people are willing to go to that kind of place to play.
Kane and his party took the overland route, heading straight for the area of life.
Approaching 10 o'clock in the morning, after walking for about 30 kilometers, the normal world came into view after climbing over a small mountain beam.
Here, the first thing you can see is the sun, the sky is gray-blue, but you can clearly feel the light and heat of the sun, the earth, the trees are still quite lush, the green has a clear hierarchy, and there are yellow, red and other colors embellishment, so that the whole world becomes three-dimensional, but full of vitality.
After walking for seven or eight miles, I gradually saw a normal forest, under the sun, the trees were layered from high to low, and all layers were full of life.
Ysera's echo was happy to say that the situation was normal, and she didn't feel anything wrong.
Kane didn't rush to make a statement, but continued on his way and observed the plants along the way.
He saw vines, long grasses, mosses, lichens, and even algae in the water, which constituted the basic plant category of the jungle, as if there was no shortage of them, forming a complete ecological chain.
But he always felt that there was a dull and dead air here, like painted skin.
Kane trusts his instincts very much, after all, he is not only a god, but also a master druid, with his own unique views on the way of nature and has been recognized by nature.
Unable to find the crux of the problem for a moment, Kane continued to the depths of the jungle, that is, to the east. The original intention of going to the Heart of Darkness has not changed, after all, it is confirmed that this is Nazmir, and it is there that the region is most likely to hide secrets.
Alexstasa and Ysera, on the other hand, paid more attention to the creatures here, and in addition to insects and ants, they also saw snakes and rats one after another.
The two confirmed that these critters were more aggressive, more vicious, and deadly to ordinary people than their counterparts in Azeroth.
After a little further progress, a wooden shack village featuring blood trolls was discovered.
It is said to be a village, but in fact it is just six or seven scattered wooden sheds and simple dirt roads connected to each other.
No one was there, but Kane walked over anyway, feeling a strange wave of energy.
Eventually, he discovered the source of strange energy fluctuations in the corner of a wooden shed.
It was a palm-sized voodoo mask, with a somewhat quirky style, but with a unique charm, and it was indeed the work of the trolls.
This is not a toy, but a holy emblem, similar to a portable statue, in addition to the ceremonial use of worship and prayer, it can also give the believer a certain protection, although the power it exudes, belongs to the cold and weird category, making people uncomfortable, but it can effectively isolate the ubiquitous poisonous insects in this jungle, so that snakes and rats do not want to be easily provoked.
Later, Kane also noticed that there was a well in the small settlement, and the water from the well was not sweet, but it was drinkable.
In addition, some clothes, salt, clay pots, and even dry food were found in the wooden shed.
At this point, he basically understood the function here.
This is a cabin in the woods. It is usually a temporary shelter for those who go out hunting and cannot rush back to the village or town on the same day.
The existence of these items, and the fact that they are all functional, especially dry food, means that they are still being used.
Kane wasn't surprised or surprised, the Sorcerer Eagle had spotted trolls living in the area, and he wondered if there didn't seem to be anything to hunt or gather in the jungle, so what was the purpose of the settlement?
While thinking about it, Tulun came over and reported: "Master, there is a group of people traveling thousands of meters away, and the target is likely to be here. ”
Tulum still retains a lot of his original memories, so he doesn't mean humans, but trolls.
Kane cast a spell, and a mist of light appeared in the air, creating a mirrored window through which the shadow troll who was watching on the periphery could see what he saw.
The 9 trolls, all of whom were from the Blood Clan, had stone-gray skin, piercing decorations with wooden chips and bone rods and white greasy war paints, and their bodies were tall and not stiff.
Seven of them were dressed in relatively simple clothes, so to speak, only cloth, and the armor was also made of wood, which was very crude, and was bound by ropes woven with vine fibers soaked in oil.
The other two, the armor worn had a metallic component and was also more elaborate, like the shoulder armor, like a mask, and inlaid with fangs, which were both decorative and practical, and they wore short battle skirts, the fabric was also worsted, the cloth was delicate, and there were patterns.
Also, the weapons used by these two trolls are also more sophisticated, unlike the seven, the beast's fangs are tied to the wooden stick, even if it is a long handle, and the only iron weapon on the body is the dagger on the waist.
The two trolls who led the way used a metal long sword, and as we all know, if the long sword wants to be done well, there are many requirements for metallurgy and forging technology, and it is very said.
Sure enough, as Tulum reported, the group almost came straight to the settlement.
Kane waited in the small settlement.
The trolls were unaware of the foreign visitors, and the two trolls with swords were still discussing how to complete the mission as quickly as possible, and Kane directly used 'Faint' on them.
This team of people walked a long way, and they were already a little tired, and after being hit by this operation, they fought with their eyelids and fell soft on the spot.
The two with long swords, in comparison, are strong-willed, and have good resistance to this kind of confusion magic, but obviously Kane's spells are much more powerful than similar spells, and the two found that the situation was wrong, but in the end they were unable to resist the power of magic, their eyes darkened, they fell to the ground softly, and fell asleep.
Kane stepped out of a nearby shack and said to Ysera's echo, "I suggest they have a long dream. ”
Ysera Echo nodded, and began to cast the spell.
Echo was incapable of anything, but it was no problem to deal with such an undefended target that was already asleep.
Ysera is the Queen of Dreams, and has a unique way of using this type of technique.
So, in a long and chaotic dream, these trolls confessed a lot of information about their changing directions, all of which Kane was interested in.
In reality, this process is not long, and it takes more than ten minutes before and after.
After receiving the information, Kane and Alexstasza and Ysera's echoes left first.
Otherwise, Tulum treated the scene, including covering up the traces left by Kane and others.
Half an hour later, the nine trolls woke up confused, and they had a discussion about it, and of course, before carefully examining their situation, including the limited belongings.
The result, of course, was nothing.
For them, it was a bizarre encounter, and some thought it might have been some kind of hypnotic magical haze. Anyway, most of them want to give themselves a self-consistent explanation, and if there are no clues, they all rely on their brains to make up for it.
Kane didn't go directly to the Soul Search Technique, not out of kindness, but because he didn't want to easily alarm the intelligent beings of this realm, even if it was just a seemingly inconsequential team.
At this point, he continued to lead the group west, combing through the newly acquired information as he went.
The team of trolls just now is the army of the Blood Clan, and now their survival mode is similar to that of the ancient city-states of the origin world, a relatively small independent group, only known to other similar groups nearby, and there is no exact information further away, and there are only some rumors of one kind or another.
In the memories of these trolls, the area in which they lived, the largest city-state, called Zuatu, was a city in itself.
Of course, in Kane's opinion, Zuatu is nothing compared to the real big cities built by the trolls, but this Zuatu also has his own characteristics, that is, there are many temples.
It is a temple full of Luoa gods, and the important Luoa gods have basically been wiped out. But Sabe, the deity worshipped by the most believers and the tallest temple, was very unfamiliar to Kane and them, and his origin was completely unknown.
According to the information provided by the memories of those trolls, this Sabe is completely the main god of the god system, and the greatest glorious deed he has ever done is to save the world.
To put it bluntly, Nazmir now has such an area where the gods can live, and it is all due to this Sabe. It was He who came out in many ways, united with the other gods of Loa, to establish this place of refuge and keep the evil out.
'Nightmare' is a coined word by the trolls here, pronounced Wakanru, which translates to nightmarish evil, and evil refers to something evil that cannot be explained or understood.
Both Alexstasa and Ysera believe that this mysterious deity, Sabe, is very problematic, especially since it represents the power of the sun and is in the image of a golden feathered serpent, which inevitably makes people think about it.
After all, in the world of Azeroth, the roots of all the feathered serpents are in Haka, and it is not too difficult for the gods to change their images, especially if they are only used to deceive ordinary people.
Kane's thinking was different from that of the two queens, and he pointed out that Gayale, the god of dragons and eagles, was probably the problem, because this god actually had the role of the god of agriculture......
