Dawn Harbor, located on the edge of the New World coast, is located at the entrance to the Black Bone Rainforest, so it is a perennial gathering of adventurers and newcomers.

This port is a small town of considerable size, and the governor here is named Cowell, a down-and-out nobleman who has lost his fiefdom in the home continent.

At this moment, Cowell was standing aside with a respectful face, cautiously looking at the young man on the sofa in front of him.

"You say, there's a tree spirit haunting?" Sig frowned at holding a document.

It was this Baron Cowell who wrote to the Guards Legion asking for reinforcements.

"Yes, several people have seen it, and it's a huge, weird dryad. Speaking of this, Cowell said with a worried face: "Because of this, many people have been missing in the town in the past six months. ”

Since Dawn Harbor is a trading port, the most important thing is stability and safety, if the tree spirit is allowed to run rampant, I am afraid that no one will dare to anchor in the passing merchants.

"Tell me where this dryad came from, tell me everything you know. Seeger didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.

Since you have taken over the task, it is natural to do business and solve it as soon as possible.

"This ...... It's also a family unfortunate. Baron Cowell couldn't help but sigh and said, "This matter starts with me just coming here. ”

It turned out that Baron Cowell was in dire straits because of the loss of his fiefdom, so he had no choice but to ask someone to find a relationship and get the Dawn Port on the other side of the ocean as his new territory.

After that, Cowell took his wife and rushed here by boat.

Baron Cowell is okay, after all, this is his new territory, which means new hope. But his wife didn't want to leave, after all, the New World can be described as a bitter cold land, civilization is not civilized, and no nobleman wants to come here.

After a fierce struggle, the Baroness finally agreed, and she and her husband crossed the ocean to the New World to start a new life.

However, while crossing the ocean by boat, the two encountered a storm that blew the ship violently. It just so happened that Baroness Cowell was pregnant, and under this violent bump, she failed to keep the child and had a spontaneous miscarriage.

Arriving in the New World, the Baroness was heartbroken, and the doctors here diagnosed that the Baroness might not be able to conceive again because of the miscarriage.

The grief-stricken Baroness was so grief-stricken that she spent the day in tears. Fortunately, Baron Cowell is not a merciless person, and he has always been unforgiving her, and the two depend on each other for many years.

A year earlier, however, the Baroness had found the remains of a dry tree stump while on a walk. The lines on the stump are strange, and it looks vaguely like a human child.

Out of curiosity, the baroness picked it up and brought it back to her villa.

Doom has come.

From then on, as if enchanted, the baroness took the dry stump with her wherever she went, introduced it to outsiders that it was her son, and tried to nurse it.

When the baron found out about the incident, he was naturally furious, which made him feel very shameless, and he quarreled with the baroness at the moment.

The couple had always wanted a child, but they were never able to achieve their goal. At first, the baron thought that this was just the obsession of the lady, and in addition to emotion, sometimes a trace of guilt was born in his heart.

However, it didn't take long for the Baron to realize that something was wrong.

One day, he actually saw a chubby child, running around in the corridor of his villa!!

And the child's face was exactly the same as the one on the dry stump.

A chill felt behind the baron, and he immediately ordered his guards, ignoring his wife's obstruction, to forcibly snatch the strange stump and throw it into the fire and burn it to ashes.

He thought that was the end of the matter, but when the baron woke up the next day, he saw Madame holding a bottle and shaking the stroller. Inside the stroller, the stump was quietly placed.

The baron collapsed......

In the days that followed, he tried countless methods, and even asked a mysterious person from a trading company to come and help, but to no avail.

As time passed, the lines on the stump matured, as if they were really growing, from a baby, to a child, and then to a teenager.

The growth of the stump is accompanied by frequent cases of missing passers-by in the port town.

The inhabitants of Dawn Port are immigrants from various countries on the mainland, and these people are basically people who can't get along on the original mainland, so they have no choice but to cross the ocean to find new opportunities here.

Baron Cowell worked hard to gather such a large number of people, but the frequent disappearances that occurred afterwards made people panic in this port town.

Each time the people who disappeared were some sturdy men, they disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated.

"Lord Sigurd, I think this matter definitely has something to do with that weird stump, but I really can't ......do anything about it," Baron Cowell said with a face almost mournful.

"Where is that stump now?" asked Sig with interest.

"It was hidden by my wife, and she didn't say where it was hidden. The baron cried and said helplessly.

His wife seemed to be charmed and took the stump for her own son.

Sigurt touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then under Baron Colwell's shocked gaze, a pair of eyes instantly turned crimson.

Atavism!

Sigurt condensed the power of the bloodline into his eyes, inspiring that thin bloodline of the Lord of Gluttony, revealing crimson and terrifying eyes.

This is a newly discovered ability that Sigur has recently explored the bloodline of the Lord of Gluttony.

Through the Crimson Eye, he could see a lot of filth that was invisible to the naked eye.

This filth can be an evil spirit or something else.

At this moment, through the crimson eyes, Sieg seemed to see something.

The crimson eyes gradually thinned and finally returned to their original state. Sieg stood up and beckoned Baron Colwell, "Follow me." ”

The baron trembled and didn't know why, but since Sieg had said it, he followed honestly.

The baron was accompanied by the escort of the villa, a column of more than ten musketeers, dressed in red and white uniforms, with new muskets following them.

Baron Cowell's villa was a small three-story white building, and outside was a huge lawn fenced off by a few colorful flower beds.

Sig and the others did not go far, came to a flower bed, and stopped.

"It should be here. A dark flame rose from Sig's hand, the flame glowing with coldness, unlike any fireball before.

Go!

Sigurt lowered the black fireball to the ground.

Rumble!

There was a loud thud, the ground shook, and dirt flew sideways.

The flowerbed was torn apart by the direct explosion of Sig, revealing a large hole nearly a meter deep.

Sieg walked over to the big hole, looked inside, and frowned.

"Come and see. Sieg beckoned.

Baron Cowell, along with the guards around him, slowly approached here and looked over.

I saw that the big hole that had been blasted out was full of dirt. When the soil loosened, it revealed the twisted and dry faces inside.

"There's a corpse!" Baron Cowell looked horrified.
