Section 14 Mountaineering
Zazacha and Green Jiao dragged the unconscious Talon back to the room and found that everyone was awake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
They all had messy hair in the hall, and only Illana and Jaireen were the most neatly groomed.
"What was that voice up now, did you hear that?" asked Alicia, nervously.
Obviously, these people who had been sleeping in the song were awakened by the high-pitched and shrill screams.
"It's like a woman's scream, but it's not quite like a human voice. Melafa said tremblingly.
Valrhona pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and asked:
"Could this be the witch's song?"
"Can this be considered a song? That witch is really incomplete enough. Jaireen said solemnly.
Seeing that everyone was guessing, Lu Jiao smiled faintly. And Zazha Cha sighed impatiently, interrupted everyone's discussion and said:
"Don't make any noise, I'll explain. ā
At this time, everyone found that the clothes on Zazhacha's body were torn. Everywhere you look, you're covered in bloody wounds.
Alicia stepped forward in surprise and asked:
"Zha Zacha, what's wrong with you? Are you actually doing some kind of penance in the middle of the night?"
Looking at Alicia's sincere expression when she asked, Zazacha couldn't help but feel a faint headache.
"No, it's just a strange guy coming to the door. ā

Seeing that everyone looked puzzled, Zha Zha Cha said angrily:
"While you were sleeping, there was a guy who looked like he was going to sneak attack, and he was talking about revenge. ā
"Revenge, do we still have enemies?" asked Alicia.
"He said Fermoran or something, and the way he looked, it seemed like you had spoiled him. ā
Alicia, Darlon, Kylloa, and Melova were all taken aback, and Kylloa said:
"Probably the initiator of the Fairmoreland Corpse King incident. ā
Daron nodded and asked Zazacha:
"Did he say anything else?"
Zazacha shrugged his shoulders and said:
"That guy was wearing a black robe, and he looked very gloomy. He didn't say much, he just talked about experiments or something. But there's one thing I care about, and he says that the new gods will still come to this land as scheduled, what does that mean?"
Kelloa's brow furrowed tightly, and he whispered:
"I'm afraid something similar to Fermoran is going to happen here. ā
Valrhona looked dazed, she had clearly not heard what Alicia had experienced in Fermoran.
"Do you mean the summoning event?"
Kelloa's unexpected voice sounded, and he couldn't help but look at the owner of the voice:
"Have you heard that too?"
The blonde hair swayed slightly, Illiana closed her eyes, nodded slightly, and said with a peaceful smile on the corner of her mouth:
"Yes, I heard some rumors in the neighborhood during my pilgrimage tour. As she spoke, the corners of Eliana's mouth suddenly increased, "Some of them also say that it was the dead princess of Garbadia who came back to save them. ā
Alicia almost fainted, and although the rumors were somewhat inflicted, it wasn't so exaggerated.
"There were a lot of doubts about that incident, and I always thought that I would encounter something similar again during my travels, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. "Perhaps, this time we'll have a chance to figure out what happened." ā
"Wasn't the last incident the fault of the black-hearted doctor?" asked Alicia.
"I think he's probably just a puppet, or an abandoned pawn who gets rid of it when he's done with it. At the end, he suddenly died before he could finish what he wanted to say, as if he had been killed. ā
Zazha Cha listened quietly for a while, sighed again, and said:
"You can go on here about what happened last time, but I don't know anything and I don't want to know. Hey, little ghost, can you treat me?"
It took a while for Mei Lufa to realize that it was she who was calling Zazacha. Then she panicked and ran up and began to cast her healing spell, an aqua blue glow looming in the room lit only by the stove.
Dalong looked at Zazacha with an indifferent expression, and asked a little strangely:
"By the way, why didn't you wake us up when you noticed something unusual, and went out alone?"
Zazacha's forehead was bruised, and he said viciously:
"I should have kicked you out of bed. ā
Dalong frowned suspiciously, and at this time, Lu Jiao, who had been standing on the side with his hands behind his back, spoke:
"You are asleep in the singing and cannot wake up. It was the song of a real witch, and it seemed to keep the sleeping person from waking up. ā
Valrhona asked in surprise:
"Do you hear the witch's song?"
Lu Jiao nodded and said:
"It's pretty good, I listened to it in bed for a while. ā
Zha Cha finally understood, and he said why the green Jiao was able to wake up. It seems that she, like Zazacha, did not fall asleep before the song sounded. And she chose to sleep peacefully in bed after the song sounded, which is really elusive. Recalling the man in black who seemed powerless in front of the green Jiao just now, Zazha Cha felt more and more that this mysterious woman was an unfathomable figure.
"The Witch's Song...... Can't wake up......" Kyeloa suddenly fell into deep thought alone. It didn't take long for him to raise his head and say indifferently:
"It seems that they used this method to plant a curse on the whole village. ā
"What do you mean?" asked Alicia.
The witch's song made it impossible to wake up, and then they cursed the people of the village while everyone was asleep, which would explain why so many people suddenly fell ill with petrification overnight. ā
Everyone nodded approvingly.
Kyeloa continued to think, his voice non-stop:
"But there are still a lot of doubts. Why are all the sick people in the village men? And the man in black said that the new god was coming, which always gave me a very bad premonition. ā
Alicia's mind suddenly remembered the scene of the last Fairmoreland Corpse King incident. Fermoran, who was destroyed into ruins, drowned in the black poison tide of the Corpse King. The thousands of living corpses that make up the body of the Corpse King, their screams are heartbreaking.
"We can't let the events of Fairmoran repeat here, Kyllloa, we must stop them!" Alicia said suddenly, resolutely.
Kyeloa nodded, and when he saw that the rest of the crowd had a look of approval, he said without hesitation:
"The attackers must have left some traceable traces, and in order to prevent the loss of mana, I will start tracking it down now. ā
At this point, Zazacha's treatment is also over, and Kyeloa asks Zazacha to take him to the place where the man in black has disappeared. Once there, he began to perform his reconnaissance skills.
"Found it, on the mountain!"
"So fast!" Alicia felt like she had just seen Kylloa's hand raised, and the spell had been completed.
"The traces of magic are still very new, and they can be traced now. Kylloa said.
Daron's hand touched the hilt of the greatsword, adjusted the position of the weapon, and said excitedly:
"Without further ado, let's start witch hunting!"
Alicia nodded, then glanced at Illiana and said:
"Sister Saintess is waiting for us here, there are still many patients to be treated tomorrow. Valrhona, you still have a brother to take care of, don't go, you can protect the villagers by staying in the village. ā
Lu Jiao walked directly to his room, and said as he walked:
"I'm not going either, I'll leave the tiring work of climbing the mountain to you. ā
Alicia retorted speechlessly, after spending a long time with her, she would find that this seven-colored lady was really a very casual person.
So, in the middle of the night, everyone began to search the mountain. As she left, Valrhona told them the general directions of some of the caves in the mountain, and Daron silently noted them down, which should have been very helpful in their search. If these people who hide in the shadows hide in the mountains for a long time, they will probably choose a place like a cave as a stronghold. At least, that's what Daron speculated.
Looking for the traces of the man's magic when he left, Kyeloa led the group slowly towards the mountain.
Originally, in this dark night, Alicia wanted to take out the lighting crystal to use, but Kyeloa said no. Then, he conjured a ball of light as bright as a light bulb, floating above everyone, sinking and floating. It was like a guiding light, illuminating a ten-foot radius around everyone, and seemed to work better than lighting crystals.
"Looks like those crystals can be sold. "Alicia is still full of money.
Halfway through the walk, everyone came to the halfway point of the mountain, and Kyeloa suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.
"Teacher, is the trace of magic broken?" asked Merufa.
"No, it's scattered. ā
Kelloa reluctantly lowered his arm that had been propped forward, and everyone was surrounded by the darkness of the night and the sound of night cries, like a flock of disoriented lambs.
"It seems that they are ready to defend. Kyeloa thought quietly.
Daron looked at the boundless darkness and darkness around him, and said:
"Why don't we search all the caves that Valrhona marked for me?"
"That's too time-consuming, and I don't think we will be able to search it until tomorrow morning. Zazacha immediately retorted.
"What about group searches?" suggested Alicia. Although she was reluctant to do so, it was certainly a way to increase efficiency.
"No need. Kyeloa interrupted their conversation and said to Meluva, "Merluva Ronnie, can you lend me a shoulder?"
Although Mei Lufa didn't know what her teacher wanted to do, she obediently got to the teacher's side.
Then, Kyeloa placed the palm of one hand on Meluvia's young shoulder and closed her eyes quietly.
In the world of perception, the water attribute magic in Melufa's body is being channeled into her body by Kyllloa, and then exported from her body to form a form visible to the naked eye.
"Wow......" Alicia exclaimed. Because she suddenly felt the temperature in the air suddenly drop, and then a large thick fog began to gather around them and spread in all directions.
The weather seemed to be manipulated by Kelloa, and the entire mountain range was gradually covered with a layer of white mist, like a light veil covering the body.
When the fog filled, a slight electric sound began to appear in the air. Lightning shuttled through the thick fog, like small silver snakes, using the mist as their own path to crawl into the darkness ahead.
After Daron told Kylloa where several caves were, Kylloa concentrated his magic on those places. The silver snakes shuttled between the caves domineeringly, unhindered, disturbing the resting birds and beasts, and suddenly bursts of beast roars and birdsong came from the middle of the night.
A silver snake came near the entrance to one of the caves, and was about to reach inside, but suddenly it was bounced back as if it had hit a barrier. The other small snakes noticed something strange and gathered outside the hole. They tried to break into the cave, but the barrier was so strong that it kept all the silver snakes out. The current of mana slammed into the invisible wall, revealing a giant curtain of thousands of diamond-shaped prisms in the air.
"Found it. ā
Kyeloa opened his eyes.
