Chapter 363: The Secret of the Misty Forest
"And what?" Charlene noticed that the situation was different and hurriedly asked.
"The ground is moving, it's the ground moving!" Elsa was slightly nervous.
Charlene's brows furrowed slightly, and she secretly felt that things were not simple. So after thinking for a moment, Charlene opened her mouth and said to everyone: "Now start listening to my orders, all move their positions, and stand here on my left!" ”
As she spoke, Charlene lit the wand in her hand to mark the direction of the group, and it didn't take long for everyone else to come to the place Charlene had designated.
Seeing that the direction behind him was already empty, Charlene lightly ignited a strange green flame on her fingertips, and with a flick of her fingers, the green flames jumped from Charlene's fingertips, and jumped up to the path ahead of her with great lightness.
Boom, boom, boom!
In an instant, the ground hidden in the fog lit up with a glittering fire, and the green flames were jumping, randomly distributed around everyone, looming, as grotesque as ghosts. If it weren't for the people present who knew that this was a spell cast by Charlene, they would have already been frightened and their hearts would have raced faster when they saw this scene.
"Well, is there something wrong with this place?" Roslie asked cautiously, feeling that the temperature of her surroundings seemed to have dropped considerably.
"Well, it's weird." Charlene carefully confirmed the location of the green flame, and then spoke: "You see, the location where the flame ignited is the place where Xiaoxin and Nick left the signpost just now. We're going straight into the Misty Forest, and it stands to reason that the signs should be in a straight line. But what about the facts? The distribution of these wildfires is messy and disorganized. This shows that the nearby terrain has indeed changed as Elsa said, and it is estimated that it was just when the earthquake occurred. ”
"So, that, so what do we do now? Doesn't the change in terrain mean that we are now completely lost in this forest? Nick was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.
"Nope! Things aren't that bad! I seem to have discovered the secret of the Misty Forest! Elsa suddenly said excitedly, and everyone else was startled.
"What did you find?" Charlene asked.
Elsa groped for Charlene with great difficulty: "I found that although the terrain in the nearby area has changed, I seem to have figured out the pattern of its changes!" With that, Elsa put the map she drew in front of Charlene, but unfortunately Charlene, who was surrounded by fog, couldn't see anything.
Charlene sighed helplessly, and then took Elsa's drawing book, and rubbed her fingers lightly on it, and the lines drawn by Elsa began to glow, and everyone could barely see what she was drawing.
I have to say that Charlene's previous evaluation of Elsa's drawing skills was quite accurate, and it was true that there was basically nothing to be desired except for the relatively straight line drawing. The lines are twisted in a mess, childish like the work of a three-year-old child.
Elsa spoke, "Although the surrounding markers are now completely staggered, there is no doubt that they are in the same straight line. I took a closer look at the distribution of the markers around me, and found that although they were arranged in a messy manner, they actually had a certain pattern, and I am afraid that this is how the terrain changes here. ”
As she spoke, Elsa tore off the messy map from her sketchbook, and then carefully tore it into pieces.
Roslie was a little puzzled: "What are you doing here?" ”
Charlene motioned for Roslie to remain silent, and she watched intently as Elsa moved her hands, though she could barely see anything under the fog, except for the shiny lines on the paper.
After that, Elsa began to put together the shredded pieces of paper that had been torn apart by her. Gradually, everyone discovered the mystery on the note: after Elsa's patchwork of the note, the marked points on it, which were originally in a straight line, became scattered, and they were surprisingly consistent with the position of the faint green flames in front of everyone!
Elsa explained with a smug face: "Actually, from the very beginning, I thought that the direction of the stream in this misty forest was very strange, and the regularity and symmetry were terrifying, as if it was part of some totemic symbol. In addition, Charlene said before that the influence of the forest witch on the Misty Forest is in the form of points to surfaces, so I guess that the change of the terrain is likely to be based on this characteristic. That is, take a point as the center of the circle and radiate to the surroundings to change the terrain at the same time. This is not only the simplest and most feasible solution, but also makes it difficult for those who are in it to figure out the pattern. But once you figure this out, the rules are fairly simple. ”
"So how the hell is this done?" Xiaoxin asked.
Elsa restored the note in her hand to its previous appearance and said, "To put it simply, take a certain point in the misty forest as the center of the circle, and then form different parts of each area that is equidistant from the center of the circle, so that the parts in the misty forest are divided into a ring of concentric circles of different sizes. A slight change in the position of these rings can change the shape of the waterways that spread through the forest, and make those who have come here think that they are taking a completely different route than before, thus confusing the enemy. ”
"I see! The legendary Witches of the Woods have gone to great lengths to devise such a way to avoid contact with the outside world, which means that the center of these concentric circles is likely to be their hiding place. It's just that now that the surrounding terrain has been completely messed up, and we have no sense of direction, how can we find them? Roselie was a little worried.
Charlene looked thoughtfully at the firelight around her. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly said calmly: "No need to look for it, it's here." ”
