A series of small adjustments extended the rest time by about a quarter of an hour, and at 23 o'clock, the team drove into the dense forest.

The actual effect of burning footprints proves that Kane is not bragging.

Even if there is a thick ground cover in the dense forest, the light can still shine through.

In fact, this is the forced qualification of the Salary King, the soul fire, which cannot be blocked by matter, and the extraordinary flame driven by it can activate the fire element in all matter, and then present this transmission effect.

After being 'reduced to intelligence', Hu Cong looks like he is sleepwalking, and he seems to be a little floating when he walks, but he can step on the point with every step, and his state is quite satisfactory.

The investigators line at the back of the line, followed by Kane, Oliver, Ghost Sister, Cicero, and Eliot.

Soon after entering the dense forest, the investigators no longer vaguely felt the danger, but really felt the abnormality.

An indescribable chill surrounds people, and a clear stinging sensation can be felt on exposed skin.

The temperature was much cooler than that of the wilderness, but there was no snow or ice, but it was wet and viscous, as if there was a steam-bath-level ice mist, but it was completely invisible.

The slight smell of decay drills into the nose of a person, not like the smell of plant branches and leaves soaking in water, but more like the result of animal corpses.

The association is rich, as if I saw a quagmire near the left, and there was a half-rotten reindeer floating inside......

From time to time, there was a clattering sound, like the sound of the wind blowing the half-dried leaves, but there was no wind in the dense forest.

And the most uncomfortable point is the feeling of being watched by countless eyes.

The investigators have psychic vision, or perception beyond ordinary people, so they can even feel the emotional component attached to this peeping, like a hungry predator staring at his prey, greedy and excited, but suppressed by the judgment of reason, not knowing when it will explode.

The investigators also noticed that there was an unusual darkness in the dense forest, and the deeper they went, the thicker the darkness became, as if they were heading deeper into the mine.

The only thing that can make people feel a little reassuring is the flaming footprints that Kane blessed Moody, the orange-red flame that seems to be burning is as clear and stable as ever, like a lamp on the ground, becoming the best reference for self-positioning.

Going deeper, more voices came, ethereal, as if someone was telling something in obscure language, intermittently, and even the emphasis of the intonation and exclamation could be heard.

Whispers of the devil.

More than one person has described a similar condition, and secular healers generally regard it as a type of auditory hallucination, and even have a special pathological explanation.

However, the investigators have a different opinion, and believe that it may also be a means of aggression, just like the pendulum of hypnosis will make people look at it for a while, and make people drowsy, drowsy, and the devil's whispers will also cause problems if they listen to it for a long time.

The whispers of the devil are not something that ordinary methods can resist, and there are transcendents who even temporarily lose their hearing, but they can still 'hear'.

In other words, it is actually a kind of 'confusion' type of mental attack, which is aimed at the spiritual energy represented by the 'state of listening'.

This is in the same category as 'when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss is also gazing at you', except that one is for the state of hearing and the other is for the state of seeing.

The solution is either to master the defense against mental attacks such as 'brain occlusion', or to 'calm the mind and cool naturally'.

In this case, the effect of Kane's spells cast on the servants and Moody was revealed.

Many people think that the reason why the servants obey their orders is similar to turning people into simple-minded, stupid and happy fools.

Not really.

While prescription drugs for depression can make people 'look down on life and death and feel that nothing matters', they don't make the mind simple.

The method of building Hu Zun is actually to turn it into a mentally ill person whose 'stress reflex' is strengthened. Specifically, it is more like taming a lion, so that the lion clearly remembers the handler's gesture commands, and once it sees it, it instinctively associates it with the whip and fresh meat, and then responds by seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Therefore, the ideological activity of Hu is not simple, and even many times, it is in a state of struggle, the struggle between orders and self-will, and in the end, it is often by relying on the memory of the tragic consequences of disobedience to overcome the nature of freedom and laziness.

Kane is a master of confusion and control, the king of puppets, and his experience in this area is not ordinarily rich, by observing micro-expressions and perceiving the fluctuations of Hucong's soul force field, he can judge his state and the technical faction represented behind it.

Because of this, he knew that these seemingly silent subordinates were actually active volcanoes, and a single trigger could lead to an eruption.

In this way, they are the easiest to be taken down by the confusion control spells of the old branches, or affected by divine power. Once the old memories that are suppressed in the bottom of the heart are turned out, they may even stimulate the flesh, cause mutations, and become terrifying monsters.

Kane didn't know exactly what kind of mythical creature lurked in the jungle, and he sealed the hole first based on his previous experience with mythical creatures.

In his opinion, the monsters of the old branch and one line are actually not particularly strong, and the main drawback is the lack of variety, which may be caused by the fact that their three-plate axes always succeed and have no motivation to promote the diversity of combat skills.

It can be said that as long as you can deal with it rationally, it is not difficult to defeat most mythical creatures, and the most difficult thing is precisely this 'reason', most of the people who encounter the old branch and one line can't get up'as long as they can't get up, because these guys are like their own BGM, always people come before they arrive, and once the SAN value is reduced, people are already lustful and want to die, how can they be rational?

Kane felt that his temporary comrades-in-arms, even if they did not have a clear experience like him, should have a certain sense of precaution, after all, they are all people with backgrounds and inheritances, so they are not as special as the new ones who lead the team.

Sometimes, it is better not to say that the atmosphere created by the old branch is an island of the soul, and the deeper you explore, the more serious the sense of loneliness becomes, you can't be understood, you can't be shared, and the test of will reaches the level of perversion.

Take the current situation as an example, if you don't pay attention to it, you can't be surprised. It's not okay to pay too much attention to it, the more you take it seriously, the tighter the heartstrings, the easier it is to have problems, the Oriental saying, 'the phase', the general phase, will affect the level of play, and the phase here is tantamount to planting the seed of terror.

That's why Kevin reminds them to keep their curiosity under control.

Kane has a special practice in this regard, that is, 'seeing through the general trend and essence', and then calming himself down.

This is tantamount to breaking the core principle of the old branch of confusion control technique 'the greatest fear comes from the unknown', and all phenomena are just a concrete elaboration of this principle, relying on creativity to attract people's attention.

So he can turn a blind eye, hear but not hear, and the servants who have been 'reduced to wisdom' are almost in this state, as if they are extremely tired, and they may fall headlong at any time, and fall asleep, their heads are muddy, and they can't concentrate, and the only thing they can do is to follow the footprints one foot deeper, one foot shallow.

Moody, who uses Occlumency, can control the amount of information received from the outside world to a considerable extent because of the 'substitution' level, so as to avoid excessive emotional provocation.

Coupled with the fact that he needs to open the way and focus on this matter, the influence of the outside world on him is not so serious.

Moody's, 7 servants, Kane, as the first half of the team, they are in good shape, and the car is driving very steadily.

With the 5 people in the back, the situation is not so good.

They also know what to do, but the heart ape is the most difficult to control, even if they find something for themselves, such as counting or something, they still can't completely abandon distracting thoughts, especially under the stimulation of external forces, they always can't help but think cranky, and once they start, the situation will deteriorate rapidly, and it will become more difficult to calm down again.

The first to go wrong was Cicero, who let out a terrible scream and fell to the ground.

Kane reacted most calmly and stopped the team at the first time, but due to his position, when he walked towards the back of the team, further things happened.

"Don't touch him!"

Kane's warning was too late, and Elliot, who was walking behind Cicero, instinctively stepped forward to check the situation, but as soon as his fingers touched Cicero's body, as if a mysterious switch had been activated, Cicero stood up suddenly.

This stop is similar to the situation of the pretender who pretended to be a female patient that Kane encountered at Jenny's clinic, with obvious perverse features, as if he had been bounced up by some invisible force.

The investigators present are all first-class good hands, and they reacted quickly, and when they saw the situation, they immediately jumped away, and at the same time as the ghost girl jumped away, she untied the lock connected to the mountaineering rope on her body, and Elliot was a little anxious, and at the same time as jumping back, she directly attached to the rope with her ability and blew it up.

Cicero, who stood up, did not make any further moves, but stood there so fixedly, because it was too dark, people could not see Cicero's expression clearly, but they could vaguely hear him muttering, his voice was not high, but it was full of a kind of resentment.

In fact, although Cicero's eyes were open at this time, there were no pupils, only the whites of his eyes, and the muscles of his face twitched uncontrollably, so that his expression was extremely distorted, and it was not necessarily a bad thing for people to not see.

"Cicero is about to demonize, any stimulus will further shorten the process, and I recommend giving up. Kane said as he unbuckled and took a few steps to reconfirm Cicero's condition.

"Shouldn't we try to save it?" said Elliot, who was visibly agitated, and his voice was a little sharp.

Kane's brow furrowed, he was keenly aware that there was something wrong with Eliot.

He thinks that Elliot may have some unbearable past like Cicero, and has reached the verge of collapse, and now he says this not so much as a teammate as he worries that he will be abandoned at will after his situation.

Oliver is also inclined to save, but not mainly out of moral considerations, but because he believes that if he does not save, people's hearts will be scattered in the first place. For this reason, he took out his private goods: "I have an alchemy potion here to calm emotions and awaken reason." ”

"So what do we do? knock Cicero down, or use a spell?" Moody asked anxiously, leaning over as well. Among the 7 people, he seems to be the most sincere.

As for the pair of ghost sisters, they didn't say a word, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly, and no one knew what the two were thinking.

In fact, Kane's biggest concern is the twins. He believes that the special life experience or extraordinary cultivation method makes the twins have a psychological shadow that ordinary people can hardly imagine, so to speak, their cognition itself is distorted, and it is easier to be pulled into the abyss of demonization.

And what's more interesting in reality is that the ghost sister has a little bit of a long-term illness and becomes a doctor, and she has experienced too much darkness, and with the experience of resistance, she can better cope with the situation in front of her. To put it simply, the crash point is low but the skill is high, and the magic value increases slowly.

Of course, it can't be compared with Kane, in terms of the ability to deal with this situation, Kane is a well-deserved No?1, although he is also affected, but the increase in the magic value is super slow, the upper limit is super high, and even if there is a big situation, there is a crooked move, that is, before the demonization, try to use the power of madness to conclude a dark contract.

But if that's the case, even if he succeeds, his position as the Salary King will be activated and his essence will change, and it will no longer be a positive force that warms people's hearts, but a flame of destruction.

As soon as Kane saw the situation, he realized that this fight would not work. Convincing people is already hard, and now the bigger problem is not having time.

Demonization is a mutant version of blackening, which is very violent, like a bomb exploding.

So don't look at Cicero as a human on the surface, but in fact, the human side has been quickly discarded.

In this case, the only way to save is to split the personality, and with its cooperation, the human side is extracted in the form of a remnant soul.

Unfortunately, he has no possibility of doing so now.

As for Oliver's alchemy potion, Kane had no hope at all.

So, instead of speaking out to dissuade Oliver from their rescue, Kane started a new round of operations on his own.

Walking through the difficult howling corridor, your eyes suddenly become brighter, but it is by no means invigorating.

The Gobi Desert, gravel wilderness, no trees at all, even thorny plants are scarce, the sky is chaotic and the clouds flow and roll, fast as a galloping horse, but never endless, the sunlight can only reveal a brief moment from the occasional gap, look at the ground, the light of the sun and the shadow of the clouds, forming an irregular vein-like light wave flow that is easier to see on the sand and gravel surface of the river bottom projected by the sun, creating a strange and alternative atmosphere together with the wind.

When any life is faced with such a landscape, it cannot help but feel that this is a forbidden place for life.

Then the knights were under the clouds, at the end of their vision, and saw the Eye of Karok Shash, which was still shining even in the daytime.

The reason why the Church of the Silver Flame was willing to send a knight order here was mainly for it, which was an irrefutable miracle, and the Fountain of the Holy Flame of the Great Church of the Silver Flame was dwarfed by it.

Hilma Rahzan, the senior priestess who accompanied the team, confirmed, "It is indeed a silver flame, incomparable, like the light of the sun, which is the characteristic of the true eye of the eleventh level of spells. ”

In the world of Dungeons & Dragons, mortal spells reach their peak at level 9, level 10 is legendary spells, and of course, the most famous is the level 12 spell Casal Sealing Magic, which surpassed the legendary Grand Arcanist Casal to kill the first goddess of magic in the world of Feren.

Spurring his horses and wheels rolling, the cavalry headed in the direction of what the Church of the Silver Flame called the Eye of Light.

Two days later, the Great Hideous Fortress began to reveal itself in the gravel wilderness.

Its majesty lies not only in itself, but also in the contrast of its surroundings.

If it is in the shadow of the cliff area where the cliffs of ten thousand people rise, it is nothing in height and volume, but here is the wilderness, the common gravel, the largest is only the height of the person, a few meters in diameter, under such a background, the big hideous fortress looks super majestic.

"Where did the creator get the massive boulder to build such a behemoth?" Graveson couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that the creator has the skill of turning earth into stone, this kind of stone is different from the real sense of the rock, they are stronger than steel, and can also absorb magical energy to a considerable extent, further strengthened, the more years pass, the stronger it becomes. Gadot Elson, an investigator who was attached to the Curranburg Library, said the accompanying investigator.

The Fort Collanburg Library is an organization, and the Ombudsman is a profession unique to the world of Abbron, who is particularly adept at solving mysteries.

Investigator is an advanced profession, and at the same time has a specific scope of work, Elson belongs to the outside work, has some characteristics of an explorer, and is more capable than an internal investigator.

A Level 7 Wanderer, a Level 5 Ranger, and a Level 4 Investigator, Gadot's total level is as high as 16, and he is already among the first-class powerhouses of mortal creatures.

The Library of Fort Collanburg takes the Creator Clan very seriously, which is why they did not hesitate to ask for a seat of participation from the Church of the Silver Flame and sent her here.

Graveson and Sylma also wanted to meet the Creator, and although they were both members of the Church, they had different starting points, Graveson was military-oriented, and Sylma was religious-oriented.

The Knights were welcomed by the Gaskara tribe and welcomed into the city by the tribe's newly added sand lizard cavalry.

Gaskara has always had a tradition of raising giant sand lizards for their samuts, as did the Haroun tribe, or rather, most of the intelligent creatures living in the Demonic Wasteland.

It's just that in the past, the conditions did not allow it, and Gaskara mainly guarded the entrances and exits of the valleys and patrolled the valleys, unlike the Haroun tribe who lived a hunting and nomadic life, so the number of domestication was limited.

Now with the logistics system provided by Kane, raising sand lizards is a matter of course, so the paladins formed the tribe's first Shashgo Knights to ride on sand lizards.

Paladins are good at using a variety of weapons, can make better use of armor, and most of them are also trained to ride, and as church knights, they are still qualified.

The Silver Flame Knights also had to admit that their turtle brothers had improved the entire system under the premise of guaranteed hardware, and their performance in all aspects was not much worse than theirs.

Of course, the Silver Flame Knights still have something to teach the Gaskara tribe, such as military knowledge, riding skills, combo techniques, and combat skills, and the skills used by the members of the Gaskara tribe are still too rough.

For the sake of the face of the same faith, the warriors of the Gaskara tribe are quite able to accept the Silver Flame Knights, but they have also never looked down on each other, ://./11_11766/
