Back in the cave, Loki prepares a simple and delicious meal.

This bizarre and bizarre experience for most of the day is really a huge drain on mental and physical strength.

Little Fatuna rubbed her rumbling belly from time to time, not to mention Loki, a big consumer of biological energy, who had been suffering from the pain of stomach acid squirming.

The two of them hurriedly finished the meal, and Loki began to study the Witch's Notes that he had brought back.

Little Fatuna's small figure crouched to the side, holding her chin and looking at her focused brother, not even daring to play her favorite 'thumb piano' instrument for fear of disturbing Loki.

"Mystery Lock Experiment Log"

The records were very cluttered with textual information, and most of the generic text he had never even seen before, which also added a lot of difficulty to his analysis of the information.

Sort the words you know little by little, make various combinations according to the general grammar order, and guess the information clues in them.

"On the Mystery of the Secret Language, the relationship with the Church of the Serpent Reborn. ”

"The Mystery of Secret Words, the strangest Mystery Lock in the south of the continent, has an extremely high danger factor, and few people can leave alive, including the talented, professionals, and wizard groups, and has been included in the forbidden places of the major churches......"

"The Serpent Resurrection Cult, a small evil church organization five hundred years ago, believes in the Serpent King Valak, who is said to have the ability to rule the River Styx and bring people back from the dead......"

"The Mystery of the Secret Word is designated as a holy place by the Church, and sacrifices are held every five years, and after five years, only the devout can leave this place on the night of blood, and those who are impure in faith and spirit are ...... die."

Loki summarized the useful information from the few words.

While quickly analyzing, it was found that 'Lost Lock', 'Giant Serpent Resurrection Cult', and 'Wizard' were all related to all kinds of strange answers in Silent Town.

The inhabitants of the town, and Grod, who had died before, are not real beings, nor are they different from ordinary hallucinations, and can simply be called a 'mirror image', a relatively real mental mirror image with vital signs.

......

At night in Silent Town, only a red moon hung in the night sky.

Tonight is the night of blood again, and every night when the blue moon is obscured, the inhabitants of Silent Town turn into some eerie monsters with terrifying appearances.

Fortunately, the cave is safe, and not just because of little Fatuna's assurances.

It was also because Loki looked through some of the wizard's research materials, and found from the words that this unknown cave had a mysterious power like a spell, and the characters on the cave wall were said to be very similar to the runes of ancient wizards.

And this rune has the effect of blocking mirror monsters to a certain extent, so you don't have to worry about the Silent Town monsters breaking in from the outside.

Loki was still a little puzzled in his heart, since it was really as recorded in this note, who killed the two shrunken dried corpses?

Could it be that there are no ancient runes near the stone tower, so that the illusion mirror image will take the opportunity to enter.

At this moment, there was a faint cry from outside the cave, not the roar of the Silent Town monster.

"Outsiders, outsiders ......"

"If I'm not mistaken, outsider, your name is Loki......"

Loki in the cave, the sonic hearing system can't go wrong, and he was shocked to hear someone calling his name outside in the bloody night, and the voice was still somewhat familiar.

Little Fatuna's little face was also frightened, and she hurriedly ran to Loki's side, and took out the tactical straight knife that she had just gotten in some fear.

Loki patted the little girl on the shoulder, telling her not to worry, and to wait here for him to go out and have a look first.

"Little Fatuna, be brave, I'm always there for you, stop thinking nonsense. ”

Before he went out, he said a word, for fear that because of little Fatuna's imagination, there would be some mirror monster and any danger to her.

The dark red moonlight sprinkled in the night sky seemed to dye the ground with a layer of blood, and that bit of blood light also reflected the slight coolness of the cave entrance, so that Loki, who had a shimmering vision, could see more clearly.

A stout half-elf in leather armor stood outside the entrance to the cave, his hair was gray, none other than Barney Longbow, the Silent Town Instructor.

Loki was a little surprised, he had long thought that Barney Sr. should be one of the mirror images of Silent Town, but how did he not become a monster? and seemed to remember something......

When I looked closely, I saw that Barney's entire eyes were white, but the dark pupils were gone, which looked quite weird.

Old Barney's white eyes stared at him and said, "Loki, I remember you, you are the real outsider. ”

Loki was secretly wary in his heart, and said, "What about you, who call yourself an adventurer?"

Barney Sr. drew his one-handed sword from his waist, and Loki pointed his well-wound crossbow at him at about the same moment.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just answering your questions and telling you what the hell I am......"

Old Barney used the blade of his one-handed sword to cut a deep wound on his arm, and the blood flowed drippingly, but it didn't take long for his wound to heal completely with the naked eye.

"I'm going to recover from my wounds soon, and I'm not going to die, I'm just a poor soul in bondage here. ”

"I don't even have a memory of my own, just like all the inhabitants of Silent Town, a bunch of poor souls......"

Souls?Loki immediately thought of the 'Serpent Resurrection Cult', the so-called king of the Serpent who controls the Styx and manipulates the soul - Valak.

Barney Sr. continued, "Loki, we all know that you don't belong in Silent Town, and together we can help you get out of here safely as soon as possible......

Loki shook his head in disbelief, and he didn't even put down the crossbow in his hand, and he continued.

Except for the frightening white of his eyes, the trainer behaved like a normal person, and Barney Sr. suddenly bowed down and began to pray.

"Please, have mercy on us souls who don't even have memories, and we will give everything we have to repay you for your gifts. ”

Loki was a little impatient, "What are you trying to say here?"

Old Barney looked up and smiled reluctantly, and said, "Little Fatuna should be with you, Silence Town and we were born because of her, and only she can free us poor souls from our shackles." ”

"Are you so sure?"

Old Barney smiled and rubbed his fists, and said flatteringly, "The instinct of the soul has allowed me to recover my memory alone and guide me. And thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of little Fatuna. ”

The half-elf boy lowered his short-arm crossbow slightly, and a pair of gray eyes looked at him quietly.

The trainer hurriedly moved closer, a smile on his face again, and said, "As a thank you, we will do everything we can to repay you and help you get out of Silent Town." ”

"You want to hurt little Fatuna?"

"No, no, how can I hurt her, she will live happily and forever like us......"

"Forever?"

Loki smiled, "Very good rhetoric......"

He raised his crossbow violently, and the moment he raised his hand, the crossbow bolts were already flying out.

Before Barney could react, an arrow was pierced through the neck, and he fell to the ground with some suffocation, but he did not die.

"You know, that sinister smile reminds me of Grod. ”
