"Cut off your connection with the gods?" Wang Yu asked the old priest again with a puzzled tone.

The solemnity in the old priest's tone made Wang Yu feel a little tricky, and it sounded very serious.

But it's still an old question, Wang Yu doesn't understand what it means at all.

In Wang Yu's view, the gods belong to the transcendent creatures of the super cow, strong enough to directly distribute their own power to their own believers.

And that's all there is to it, Avia's night class has only been held for one day, and she has only systematically learned the path of the knight's profession.

The question about the fog may have to be asked to Avia later.

"Yes, it's unbelievable, isn't it, that's why I'm stationed in this little village."

"I guard this land for the gods, which is cut off from the glow of the gods." The priest nodded, his face shining with the glow of a devout person.

"It's really unbelievable" Wang Yu could only nod his head when he could say anything.

"Mr. Priest, may I ask if the fog of this forest has only recently become thicker" Avia suddenly interjected into Wang Yu's conversation with the priest

"Yes, maybe six to eight days ago, do you remember the woman I met with you?"

"It's her son, who chose to go into the Misty Forest at night seven days ago to hunt and never returned."

"It must be a time when the fog suddenly becomes abnormal." The priest affirmed Avia's question.

Avia set her eyes on Wang Yu beside her, Wang Yu was a little inexplicable at first, so she looked at Avia.

Five seconds later, Avia blushed and turned her head.

Wang Yu had just reacted, yes, seven days ago, Avia's aunt was inside this misty forest.

And seven days ago, it was almost the time when Avia was transferred to the old wizard Yego by the Iron Wall Knight Oka ...

"In this way, this mutation in the Misty Forest is also related to Avia, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

Wang Yu wiped his sweat a little, so he was to blame them for this?

But it can't be counted like this, after all, they are also victims, the real perpetrators, Obi-Wan and Yego have gone to hell.

In Wang Yu's opinion, Oka and his master are also doomed to death...

"Father, tell me about your previous experience in this forest."

Wang Yu maintained his usual expression, did not continue to think, and chose to ask the priest about his unique experience.

"Oh, it was a memorable experience, and the people in the village didn't like to hear about it because it was a bit ominous."

"But I don't think you mind that, and it should help you," the priest said with a nostalgic tone, a nostalgia for the past that is characteristic of older people.

The priest began to tell his story at a calm and smooth pace...

More than 40 years ago, a young priest who was also a young missionary priest chose to go out to preach in order to win more believers for his God.

As a young man, he chose the very popular solo ministry in the church.

Without escorting knights, only with supplies and a holy book to go to places that have not yet been shrouded in the light of the Lord, and open up the kingdom of gods on earth.

Of course, this method of preaching is very gentle, and it doesn't matter if the residents don't believe it, as long as those who have opinions don't attack, the Cult of Light will not attack them.

The young priest set out with great enthusiasm, near the misty forest.

There are not many people living in this area, and there is only one nameless village around the village.

The young priest walked for many days, and although he was not hurt by his magic skills, he was somewhat disappointed, and he was a little disappointed that he had not found anyone, which made the young priest feel a little depressed.

One day, however, after camping, a daily revelation reinvigorated the priest.

The God of Light Cult is a first-order divine technique, and the apocalyptic technique, which can only be used once a day, tells him that there are people living nearby.

This made the young priest, who had been busy for several days, excited, and hurriedly packed his things and set off.

However, after all, there is no knight's physique, and there is no horse as a mount, and the physical strength of the priest is limited after all.

The sun was setting in the west, and it was only at the edge of the misty forest, and the remnants of the revelation told the priest that beyond the forest, there were people living on the other side.

Seeing that the remnant sun was about to sink into the horizon, the priest decided to rush overnight.

The second-order divine magic invigorating light was used by the young priest, and with the blessing of the divine art, the body that had become tired from a day's journey immediately stopped being tired.

The priest decided to complete the journey overnight with the blessing of divine magic, and so, in the mist of dusk, the young priest walked into the fog.

When he first entered, the priest didn't feel anything wrong, but as the sky darkened, the woods grew darker and darker, and the fog became thicker.

Strange whistling sounds began to emerge all around, sounding like the laughter of children with a crying voice, which was very frightening.

However, the priest did not panic, this was the cry of Lin Wu, a bird with an ugly woman's face, with low-level illusion and curse abilities.

He likes to torture his prey, make them die in panic and fear, and then eat their corpses.

Some scholars believe that Timber can derive strength from the fear of its prey, but this ability has not been proven so far.

Because the forest witches found now are quite weak, even ordinary people can see some hallucinations, as well as some poisons that will be fine as long as they are purified in time.

As long as you don't panic and have some experience, it is not a problem to survive

But this time it was different, and the priest felt his steps in the fog grow heavier and heavier, and the strange whistling seemed to be getting closer to his ears.

There seemed to be a woman's figure in the shadow of the leaves in the dense trees in front of her, and the shadow was not clear to see, but she could see that her posture was somewhat deformed.

"No, no, how can I be tired, the duration of the invigorating light is not over yet, these damn forest witches!"

The priest's profession did not require him to be civilized in everything he said, and the priest cursed the damned birdman, amazed at the visions he had seen and his body getting more and more tired.

But cursing couldn't stop him from getting more and more tired, and the priest checked himself and found that the power of the second-order magic of the Inspiring Light was about to be depleted.

As a last resort, the priest recited a prayer, hoping to give himself another magic to lift his spirits.

At least to get rid of these hellish hallucinations, the figure of the deformed woman put a lot of pressure on the priest.

Then an even greater horror came, and he found that he could no longer use his divine skills, that his bond with the gods was gone, and that he could no longer sense his master.

The bright and holy figure that hung above the heavenly vault that could be felt during prayer was gone.

Instead... A gray mist that is boundless and dead.

"God, where are you?" The young priest began to panic, calling out to his Lord but receiving no answer.

The whistling in my ears grew denser and closer, and the ominous premonition grew stronger.

Fear began to take over the priest's heart, and he couldn't help but start running, and the uncontrollable fear began to grow.

But running in the jungle at night when you can't see the way out is not a wise choice, even if you walk quickly and grope your way is better than running, once you hit a tree, it will be a big problem.

Luckily, the priest who ran away in a panic didn't hit the tree.

He staggered and ran, the fear of the shadow in his heart growing, expanding, and spreading like a chemical agent catalyzed by a catalyst under the roar of Lin Wu's laughter that kept ringing in his ears.

The air in his lungs seemed to be squeezed out by himself, and the priest gradually felt that he could not breathe, his chest cramped, and a bad feeling mixed with fear, and his physical strength bottomed out...

Originally, he relied on the physical strength maintained by the invigorating light of the divine arts, but after losing his blessing, his physique plummeted in an instant and became an ordinary person.

I ran wildly for so long in a panic and unsteady breathing, but I was lucky not to hit a tree, but I also consumed a lot of physical strength, and it was difficult to breathe for a while, and my legs became extremely heavy.

But the fear in his heart drove the young priest to run, panting, but frantically squeezing his physical strength to keep running.

Tired, afraid, painful, uncomfortable feeling choking the priest to explode.

Suddenly, it seemed as if something had stumbled on the soles of his feet, and he fell to the ground at once, and he slashed his clothes, pulling out several holes.

There were also several scars on his arm, and the pain and weakness caused the priest to try to get up several times without success.

But the sudden impact seemed to clear the brain a lot, and the whistling in the ears cleared up, and the pain suppressed the illusion of the nerves, so that the illusion no longer appeared.

The illusory howl in the priest's ears disappeared, and for a while the man was much more sober and calmer, and struggled to get up.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and despite the pain, the auditory hallucinations were gone, and the fear was washed away by the pain.

Lifting his aching head, the forest was still dark and gloomy under the moonlight.

But the appearance of the woman in front of him again made the priest irritable again, and the hallucinations were still there, which was really uncomfortable.

Shaking his head vigorously, he punched himself hard, and the screaming auditory hallucinations that began to appear again were washed away by the severe pain.

Once again, the priest decided to go all the way in pain, and even the pain was much better than the fear that the hallucinations bring.

Taking a step, the priest's footsteps paused, and the woman's hallucinations were still there.

"Bang!" The priest punched himself, nosebleeds flew out, his nerves were numb from pain, and his head was sober to death...

"Bang bang bang" is the sound of the priest's teeth starting to fight, it's still there, the woman is still there...

His whole body began to tremble, and the fear that could not be suppressed by the pain filled the poor priest's body, his legs and feet went limp, and his hands began to tremble.

A sober brain that doesn't see hallucinations... So that woman, not hallucination?!

Fear exploded in the priest's mind, tears began to drip unconsciously, and his expression became uncontrollably distorted and painful.

He shouldn't be so afraid, what is there to shake the strings of this guy's reason in the unreal, making his reason become shaky and dominated by fear.

As if sensing the priest's fear, the howling of the witch reappeared, this time not hallucinating, but the woman... That woman sent it!

The overlapping whistling sound poured into the ears of the priest with a distorted face, how could there be so many, how could there be so many forest witches screaming together.

The priest screamed, he couldn't understand how this could happen.

Then, he knew why, the woman's figure was shattered, and the deformed body was torn apart, but it was still connected one by one.

In the dim forest, his eyes had become accustomed to the darkness to see clearly, and he saw.

It wasn't a woman's figure, it was a "woman" with a bird's body and a human face.

Together, they whistling, overlapping, and going berserk.

The twisted monster began to stagger towards the priest in a human form, and the forest witch who made up the "woman's" face had a crazy smile on its face.

The face of the ordinary Lin Wu is just hideous and terrifying, but he can't make an expression, just a weird smile.

But this one, with a smile, laughed wildly, revealing its tattered and finely sharp and dense teeth, and let out a terrible human grin, this is a mad forest witch!

The priest's mind was already down, and in addition to fear, he kept calling the name of the Lord, watching the monster get closer and closer, and let out a terrible scream.

He was about to be approached, the thread in the priest's mind broke, he fainted, and the strange man was close at hand.

In the last second before fainting, what he saw was the expressionless face of the mad Lin Wu, and the holy book that suddenly burst into light.

When he woke up again, he had been carried away and healed by the villagers of the nameless village, and the holy scriptures were missing.

"Well, I have copied the book by hand," said the priest with a hint of smugness

Is there anything to be proud of when the holy canon is lost, in other words, this priest's life is big enough, and so is his heart, look at how frightened Avia is.

Wang Yu glanced at the side and began to tremble, pinched the corner of Wang Yu's clothes and put herself on Wang Yu's back, and patted her back to make her relax.

Wang Yude admits that the priest's story is indeed scary, and the sense of fear, the priest's expression when he tells it, is enough to make people feel immersive.

Although Wang Yu is not afraid, Avia seems to be really scared enough.

The priest returned to normal after speaking, and it was evident that the scene he saw before he finally fell unconscious strengthened his belief in the God of Light.

I think it was a miracle that saved this unlucky guy, and the God of Light is indeed a good big brother.

"Thank you for your story," Wang Yu greeted the priest, picked up the jar of holy water with his left hand, and led Avia, who was still shivering, out of the door with his right hand.

This story doesn't say much, as long as you avoid the fog, it's not a big problem.

"Goodbye, the God of Light will guide you," the priest waved goodbye to them.

"Thank you for the guidance" thought that the God of Light was really generous, and he was not a believer in his own guidance, Wang Yu turned around and thanked him.

Saying goodbye casually, he did not notice the priest's slightly trembling body.

The horrors buried deep in the gloom of more than forty years ago have not been forgotten with the passage of time.

The deepening of faith only strengthened the priest, and no one knows how much courage it took to revisit the past...

"Are you alright, Avia" Wang Yu walked back to the entrance of the village with Avia, leaned over, patted her on the shoulder, and asked about the girl's situation.

Avia trembled twice, and Wang Yu thought she hadn't recovered yet.

Suddenly, the girl stretched out her hands and grabbed Wang Yu's shoulders, and her still trembling eyes looked at Wang Yu, her tone trembling but unexpectedly firm

"We can't wait, the news that I'm still alive will be transmitted back later, my mother will be a little more dangerous, we have to go into the Misty Forest, no matter how dangerous it is, help me, Wang Yu!"

Raising his eyebrows, Wang Yu didn't expect Avia to think so.

It seems that the girl's trembling before was not only the fear of the story, but also the fear that she would not enter the forest because of the danger.

As a result, news that she is still alive will not reach the family, and Avia's mother will be in greater danger if she is alone.

She's such a strong girl.

Wang Yu smiled and knocked his fist on his chest, "Knight squire Wang Yu, serve you."

What are you kidding, Wang Yu will be afraid? He will never be afraid, and he said that he would serve wholeheartedly for a year, Wang Yu's promise has always been very credible and heavy.

……

The sun was getting to noon again, and the sun was blazing brightening up the Misty Forest.

The whole forest was shining, and there was no such gloom as the old priest had in his tale.

The priest, who was standing at the door of the church with a teacup in his hand, watched Wang Yu walk into the misty forest with Torret and Avia, with a smile in his eyes.

If it's the "Night's Blade", there should be no problem, and I hope the holy water can help them.

It's a good idea to enter at noon, and I don't know what they're going to do in there, but the mutation has been getting worse and worse lately, so I hope their goal is to solve this.

Watching the figures of the two men disappear into the shadows of the trees, the priest smiled.

Suddenly, his smile froze.

The bright misty forest suddenly seemed to be covered with a black veil and began to become dark.

In the sunlight, it seems to be covered by something invisible.

Shadowy darkness began to emerge, and a trace of gray mist began to surge, and under this blazing sun, a grand swagger appeared.

A little bit slowly but unstoppably envelops the whole forest...

"Ping-chi" This is the sound of the teacup in the priest's hand falling to the ground and falling into countless pieces, his pupils trembling uncontrollably, and his whole body trembling up and down.

The fear that had not faded for forty years resurfaced in my mind, "That monster, that monster..."

The priest saw it, and a strange female figure silently entered the invisible fog behind Wang Yu and his party.

As if sensing the old priest's gaze, the figure paused and smiled wildly in the fog that could not be seen.

The fear of the young priest more than forty years ago overlapped with the fear of the old man who was now over half a hundred years old.

(Thank you for watching, your viewing is the best support for me.) ）
