Chapter 18: Blood Mist
Fenedict Castle, commonly known as the Sword Castle, sits on a cliff like a silver sword stuck in the top of the mountain, and there is a wide mountain road in front of the Sword Castle that allows two carriages to travel side by side, leading to the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, the two villages and towns of Silver Sword and Golden Dragon are symmetrically distributed, guarding the mountain road road leading to the Sword Castle, and they are the gate and guardian of the Sword Castle.
Most of the people living in Silversword Village are the Finedict family, farmers who tend to the large fields south of the cliff, or relatives of the servants and attendants in the Sword Castle.
Originally a small bazaar, the town of Golden Dragon gradually evolved into its current size thanks to the support of the Findick family, and it was bustling with troubadours, adventurers, foot merchants, and circuses.
However, from more than a month ago, whether it was the peaceful Silver Sword Village or the prosperous Golden Dragon Town, panic shrouded it like a dark cloud, Silver Sword Village was okay, there was no one in Jinlong Town, and it had become a dead city.
It all started early that morning, when the villagers of Silver Sword Village and the travelers of Jinlong Town habitually looked at the Sword Castle in the rising sun, they were terrified to find that the gorgeous Silver Castle had disappeared.
On the cliff, there is only a cloud of blood mist churning in the morning glow!
The blood mist lingered above the cliff, the sunlight could not penetrate it, the wind could not disperse, and it became more and more dense, and at first you could see a little silver light of the castle in the blood mist, but later, that silver light was completely annihilated.
What's even more frightening is that the adventurers who went to the top of the mountain to find out, as soon as they came into contact with the blood mist, turned into a pool of blood on the spot, and no one was spared, even the knights of the Finidio family who arrived later and awakened their fighting spirit.
"This is a wizard who has taken possession of the Sword Castle and wants to turn this place into an evil territory, so, escape!"
A few days later, a group of strangers dressed in wide black robes and with strange shapes came here, pointing to the blood mist on the cliff and said to the travelers of Jinlong Town, the villagers of Yinjian Village.
.......
Old Bane struggled to move his right leg prosthetic, walked out of the empty bazaar, and looked down at the blank piece of parchment in his hand to record taxes, and Old Bane couldn't help but sigh.
Every time he appeared in the market of Jinlong Town, he would be surrounded by layers of crowds, and there was no shortage of awe, flattery, reverence and so on.
But now, old Bane was greeted only by the whirring cold wind.
After muttering the phrase "God bless Findic", Old Ben took the parchment and quills into his arms, and walked towards the only tavern still open in Golden Dragon Town.
"Have a drink, get some sleep, and wait for tomorrow. โ
Old Bane, who had always disliked his young tax collectors for being noisy and unclean, now muttered to himself every day.
"Stomp Pedal Pedal
The sudden sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the whirring of wind through the deserted streets, reached the ears of old Bane.
Old Bane followed the sound in astonishment, and when he looked up, he saw a thin gray horse carrying a black-haired young man, slowly approaching.
"Huh, adventurer?"
Old Bane looked at the boy who was getting closer and closer, and his face was surprised.
In the past month, I have only seen adventurers fleeing from Golden Dragon Town, and there are very few new adventurers, and this adventurer is alone, looking so young, I am afraid that he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
"Another adventurer with unrealistic ideas and heroic dreams!"
Thinking so in his heart, Old Ben couldn't help but raise his head, and looked over the empty streets, the bluestone eaves, and looked at the blood-glittering sky.
"That's a wizard even more terrifying than a dragon!"
Old Ben saw the terrifying sight of the dozens of adventurers turning into blood at the same time, flowing down the mountain road, like a blood-colored stream.
Panic, trembling, fear...
Old Bane's skin had long since aged to the point of dryness, like the bark of a tree, and he would not have had too much expression, but at this time, the pupils of this old face were dilated, the skin of the face trembled, the teeth chattered, the face was yellow, trembling, and the fear exuded was shocking.
"Go back, don't dream! Boy, death lies ahead, fear you can't experience, get out of here!"
Old Bane suddenly rushed over and stopped in front of the emaciated gray horse, shouting frantically.
"Smack", the prosthetic leg of the right leg fell to the ground because of the too big movement, making a crisp sound.
But the old man ignored it, grabbed the reins of the gray horse, shouted more and more crazy, and his cloudy eyes spewed out inexplicable light.
"Ugh!"
When the old man's emotions reached their peak, he suddenly stiffened, and fell down in a daze, foaming at the mouth and convulsing a few times, and then there was no more sound.
"The Law of Sighs"
The gray horse neighed, lowered its head, sniffed at the old corpse on the ground a few times, and then raised its head again, as if to ask its masterโ"What is the matter?"
Thor couldn't answer his mount, because what was happening in front of him was a bit inexplicable.
The encounter with the wooden house two days ago made Thor understand that this mission may be a murder set up by the bloody avengers against the wizard.
However, Thor was also a little confused.
Why is the Bloody Avengers so sure that a wizard will come in?
Lilia Finedict, a fifth-level wizard, didn't she see the truth behind this?
Thor's speculation is that the Bloody Avengers may have discovered the relationship between the Viscount Finedict family here and the Finedict in the Bronze King.
And Lilia Feindic knows the truth about this.
Thor remembered that when he fell into an illusion in Shuangling Town a month ago, the two dark arbiters, who seemed to be called Lan Ying and Sean, immediately exclaimed "Royal City" as soon as they heard the name "Dead Apostle".
Therefore, whether it is the Bloody Avengers or the Dark Inquisition, they are very knowledgeable about the inner workings of the Wizarding King's City.
Isn't the Wizard King City only accessible to wizards?
At that moment, Thor understood, he was still ignorant.
"Regardless of the truth behind it, end this mission as soon as possible, and then go all out to break through the second-level wizard. โ
Thinking like this, Thor hurried with all his might, and spent a day and a night finally coming to the vicinity of Sword Castle, and through the news found on the way, he also understood the general situation of this matter.
The blood mist that engulfs the Sword Castle is a bloody avenger, a bloody avenger that Thor knows.
Thor had briefly fought the bloody Avengers of the Three-Eyed Inhumans in Mushroom Ridge and Twin Ridges.
After approaching Jinlong Town, looking at the blood mist on the cliff in the distance, and feeling the spiritual fluctuations in it, Thor understood that the three-eyed alien had come to the end of his life.
In the words of the Bloody Avenger himself, the Three-Eyed Inhuman is in the advanced stage of blood cancer, which is the last sublimation of his life!
Blood cancer, the power given by the wizard to the Inhuman, is also a curse imposed on it.
