"Is it strange that the forest is so deep here?" said Bake, who was tracking Ulysses, as he looked at the scenery around him, and asked himself strangely.

About five minutes ago, the scenery around me started to get a little strange. I was familiar with the forest outside the village, but before I knew it, I always felt that something was beginning to change.

"Quack!quack!" the black crow stood on the cold branches, and from time to time it flew through the shadows of the jungle. A faint layer of mist unconsciously swept through the forest, making the originally sunny forest begin to be filled with a strange layer of cold.

There was no longer a shadow of the sun in the sky, and the thin-looking fog seemed to separate the forest from the rest of the world.

If it weren't for Ulysses still walking a short distance in front of him with the long skirt of the female surname, he would have thought that he was on the wrong path.

"Ahh

Incredibly, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, Ulysses disappeared from his field of vision without a trace.

He was sure that Ulysses had been walking on the tree-lined path not far ahead before he vanished.

Isn't this going to fall into a hole or a trap?, Bak looked at the place where Ulysses had disappeared, as if trying to find the traces he had left behind.

No, nothing, needless to say, traps, holes in the ground or something, not even a single footprint, as if no one had walked through there.

Wait, nothing!, how could this be, Bake stared at the path dumbfounded, at least just now, he was sure that Ulysses was ahead of him. But now on that road, there is not even a trace of people passing by.

"Whew!" As if sensing the consternation in Bake's heart, the fog around him suddenly became thicker. What was originally just a thin layer of fog suddenly thickened to the point where it was a few meters away and it was no longer possible to see anything clearly.

"Gah!" the crows perched on the branches of the surrounding trees seemed to sense something, and suddenly flew away together, leaving only a few black feathers that fell in the wind.

The temperature in the air dropped to an incredible level in one breath, from the early summer morning to the cold winter night, causing the rough bronze armor-clad Bak to shiver a few times all over.

What the hell is going on?, Bake clenched his fists and looked around warily. He had been to the forest outside the village many times, but he had never seen such a strange scenery.

There was a slight sound in my ears, like someone stepping on the grass, like something floating through the treetops, and the dew-dripping blades of grass were constantly shaking, as if playing a music that guided the soul.

Bac swallowed, it stands to reason that it was not at all strange to meet the people of the village in the forest outside the village of Mira. But he always felt that something was wrong, and it should be said that everything had become wrong since then.

In a blur, he saw a white figure, which was not Ulysses, for it was clearly a girl. In the hazy white mist, she was beckoning to him, as if she wanted him to go somewhere.

Are you calling me?" Bak gestured to himself.

The girl, who looked hazy in the mist, nodded, then turned and walked in the other direction.

"Wait!" finally saw a personal tyke in this strange place, and hurriedly chased after him.

The girl in white didn't walk fast, but she was moving faster than Bake who was desperately chasing her, and the bushes and branches that were holding her back were completely unable to stop her, as if her body had passed directly through those obstacles.

"Wait, wait!" Bak, completely unaware of this, scrambled to push away the bushes and branches that were in the way, and the rough bronze armor quickly gained many scratches.

Closer, closer, in Bake's eyes, the girl's figure is getting closer and clearer, and it can be chased after passing through the corners of a few more big trees.

Hehe, when it comes to chasing girls, there is no one in the village who is faster than him!

However, when Bake chased after that position as fast as he could, he was stunned to find that the girl in white, like Ulysses, had suddenly disappeared without a trace.

In the original location of the girl, there is only an ancient well left that I don't know when it was abandoned.

From above, the water in the well has long since dried up, probably a well that hunters temporarily dug here to get water from a long time ago.

"Strange, where did that girl go?" Bak, who had forgotten all about Ulysses on the way, looked around at a loss, trying to find the figure of the mysterious beautiful girl in white.

Behind him, a pair of snow-white hands that did not look like humans reached out from the edge of the well, and then grabbed Bake's body, pulling him into the well.

"Wow, a

............

"The interference was established, and the task was accomplished. The artificial angel that existed behind Ulysses in a form that could not be seen by humans opened its eyes, and the mist that had just gathered naturally dissipated into the heavens and the earth as she opened it.

Only the last wisps of mist remained, drifting in the direction where Bake had finally left.

"It's foggy in the summer. Ulysses was a little surprised when the fog first started, but the fog only lasted for a few minutes before it disappeared, probably because the wind had blown the fog through the canyon.

Compared to this, it is more important to send the clothes to Ann as soon as possible.

"Well, Bake has gone another way? It seems to be an abandoned dry well, I remember an old legend......" Looking in the direction Bake left, Ulysses remembered the story his mother-in-law in the village told him when he was a child.

It was a long, long time ago, when the well was still dry, and a girl who had gone to the forest to pick wild vegetables accidentally fell into the well because she wanted to drink water, and died in it. Since then, the girl's ghost has occasionally been seen around the well.

That's just a legend, though. He, Laxia, and Yulia had played hide-and-seek by the well more than once, and had never seen the soul of a dead maiden. This kind of legend is probably made up to keep children from going deep into the forest.

Yes, that must be just a legend.

............

"My mouth, thirsty, give me water to drink. In front of Bake, a gray-white mist was churning, and a vague face could be faintly seen. If I had to say anything, it seemed that the faces of the girls known to Ulysses, Yuria, Rasha, and Ann, were mixed together.

"Wow, aa
