Amelia never imagined that she would leave the blockaded Neverwinter under such circumstances.

As she walked out the door and turned to look at the snow-covered city in front of her, Emilia had the illusion of being exiled......... They were the only investigation team allowed to leave Neverwinter, and while Erebeth was right, Emilia felt as if she had been kicked out of Neverwinter because she was in the way.

"Okay, what's the sigh, let's go."

In contrast, Duanmu Huai didn't care, and even urged her to hurry up.

"How to get to Heim Fortress? It's just waiting for you to lead the way. ”

"To be honest, Mr. Duanmu, I really think your idea is a bit exaggerated........."

"You're still saying that after seeing those things?"

"It's true that we've seen blight aberrations underneath the warehouse, but there's no evidence that these things have anything to do with Deszel........."

"Aren't we looking for evidence now?"

"Hey..............."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Emilia sighed again. She didn't know why Duanmu Huai was so hostile to the Haim followers, even comparing them to cultists. Emilia had rarely left Neverwinter before, and she had only met the Heimites a few times, so she wasn't very familiar with them. But at least in Amelia's mind, they weren't the kind of people who would turn their backs on their faith and gods.

But Duanmu Huai said that it was as if Haim believers were like cockroaches.........

It stands to reason that Emilia could have refused Duanmu's request, but she led the way to Heim Fortress. On the one hand, as a paladin who believes in Tyre, Emilia herself is not good at rejecting people, and she also wants to get this matter done as soon as possible, as long as there are no anomalies in Heim Fortress, then I believe that Duanmu Huai will no longer focus on them.

On the other hand, Emilia herself found it weird.

Although the investigation was finally closed due to Lady Erebes's forcible intervention, this was not at all Ms. Erebes's usual style, in fact, in fact, Amelia herself admitted that she had some suspicions about Deszel in her heart, and the actions of those Heim believers after entering the city were indeed suspicious in retrospect.........

It's just that Emilia still doesn't believe that Heim Fortress will fall, after all, Heim Fortress is a border fortress, if Heim Fortress falls, then it means that the territory of Neverwinter is almost on the verge of collapse——— the situation shouldn't be so bad, right?

The cold winter in the Northland is naturally very difficult, Duanmu Huai strides in the snow, Augisi sits on his shoulder, and Emilia and Lokixi use Duanmu Huai's tall body to resist the howling wind and snow in the back.

Duanmu Huai and Emilia were fine, but Lokixi couldn't hold on for a long time.

"Okay, it's cold, let's find a place to hide!"

"Aren't you a mage? I guess it's going to be some kind of mage mansion. ”

"That's the Seven Rings Spell, I'm just a Five Ring Mage!"

Luo Qixi glared at Duanmu Huai dissatisfied, if it weren't for the iron shell on the other party's body, it looked very hard, she couldn't wait to go up and bite the other party. Since graduating from the Academy of Magic, she has never been looked down upon at magic.........

"There's a cave over there, let's go check it out."

Emilia was also a little tired, and just as she saw a cave not far away, she hurriedly proposed. The others did not object, so the group quickened their pace and came to the cave, but just as they were about to enter the cave, they suddenly .........

"Roar!!"

With a roar, a huge black bear suddenly poked its head out of it and glared at everyone. Seeing this tall black bear, Emilia and Lokihi were taken aback.

"Bear?!"

"Roar——— roar!"

The bear was obviously hibernating here, and was naturally very unhappy to be disturbed at the moment, so it stared at Emilia and Lokihi viciously, and let out an angry roar.

"Now, what now, what should I do?"

Emilia drew her long sword, looked nervously at the black bear in front of her, and asked in a low voice, while Lokihi shook her head.

"No, no way, let's go, we don't have a druid, and we can't communicate with it........."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

At this time, Duanmu Huai also walked over, he just said lightly, and then he stepped over the two of them and walked towards the black bear.

"Roar! Roar!!! ”

Seeing the appearance of Duanmu Huai, the black bear became more and more nervous, not only did it roar, but even fought directly with its legs and raised its claws——— but even so, it only reached Duanmu Huai's chest.

And Duanmu Huai lowered his head like this, staring at the black bear who stood up.

"Shut up and stay there or I'll be careful to clean you up!"

While speaking, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists, glared at the black bear, and then snorted coldly!

"Go!!"

"Woo—————!"

The next moment, I saw that the black bear obediently changed back to its original state, and then curled up in a ball, hiding in the corner of the cave, trembling and not saying a word, not even daring to look at this side.

"Alright, come in."

Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and said a word to the two, and then walked into the cave with Okis. Emilia and Lokihi glanced at each other, and could only follow helplessly.

To be honest, they felt like they were robbers who had taken over the house.........

Although the process was a bit speechless, the group found a place to live, and Emilia built a fire and began to prepare food. Ogis took out a book and flipped through it in Duanmu Huai's arms.

Emilia and Lokihi were chatting quietly, while Duanmu Huai was closing her eyes and thinking about her next course of action.

To be honest, this world is actually a great benefit to Duanmu Huai, because this world is similar to the Greek mythological world that Duanmu Huai went to before, and there are a large number of gods. In other words, Duanmu Huai can completely copy what he did in that world here, kill the gods, and absorb the divine power and priesthood for his own use.

It's just that in the game, no player has a priesthood, so gods are NPCs to players.

Now for Duanmu Huai, the experience value of ordinary enemies is already very low, just like a level 100 player can only get a little experience when he goes to cut a level 1 kobold, although it is simple and convenient for you to kill a hundred kobolds, but the upgrade efficiency is too poor.

The gods are much better, and in this world, there are indeed things that rob the priesthood and kill the gods, although it is not common, but it is not impossible.

As for the god AO, Duanmu Huai is not a bird at all, and if it dies, it is just a big demon-level subspace psionic creature, if it wants to find trouble with Duanmu Huai, Duanmu Huai will not be arrested.

Although this world also uses terms such as "Heavenly Realm", "Main Material Plane", and "Hell" to divide various worlds, to put it bluntly, this is actually no different from the world where Duanmu Huai is located.

Whether it is the "Heavenly Realm" or the "Hell Realm", they both belong to the subspace plane, and the so-called "main material world" is the real world.

This can be seen from the war of the gods in this world, no matter which side is good or evil, if you want to pray for the arrival of the god you believe in, you must sacrifice your own life, and then the god can send its incarnate saint to the main physical plane to help the believers.

Its essence is actually to make large-scale sacrifices with cultists, and then weaken the edge of reality and subspace, so that the evil gods can send demons into the real world. It's all because the real world can't tolerate the invasion of subspace creatures, so it must rely on the power of the soul to maintain its existence, otherwise it will be weakened and then expelled.

That's right, it's like Amelia, as a paladin of Tyre, who sacrificed her gods in the face of the evil Lich King, and then summoned the Sage of Tyre to kill the Lich King.

In Duanmu Huai's eyes, this is actually the self-sacrifice of the evil god believers, and then the evil god uses her soul power to travel through the subspace to interfere in the real world.

The same as the same.

There is no difference at all.

Duanmu Huai has decided to find a time to go to the bloody battlefield of this world——— the battle between hell and abyss there is very suitable for him, on the one hand, whether it is a devil or a demon, they are basically relatively strong subspace psionic creatures, and on the other hand, the devil generals and demon lords of hell and abyss are very strong, enough to be the prey of Duanmu Huai.

Of course, there is another aspect in the end, the bloody war can be regarded as a copycat version of the evil god space, and it is still necessary to accumulate some experience in similar regions before fighting the real subspace evil god.

It is more difficult to go to Heavenly Mountain to kill gods, but it is much easier to go to the abyss to kill demons.........

Of course, Emilia didn't know what rebellious thoughts were spinning in Duanmu Huai's mind at the moment, she and Luo Qixi chatted aimlessly for a while, and then planned to rest——— after all, it was already dark, and there was no entertainment in this world at night......... Well, Duanmu Huai wanted to teach them to experience it, but unfortunately the two of them would definitely refuse.

"Roar —————!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, the black bear that had been curled up in the corner of the cave suddenly stood up, let out a low roar, and stared at the outside of the cave. Seeing the black bear's unusual movements, the two girls were also stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh? Did Mr. Duanmu scare it again? ”

"I don't, is there something out there?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at the black bear, and at this moment the other party seemed to be facing a great enemy, obviously, this black bear seemed to sense some danger.

"Outside?"

Emilia reached out and pressed the hilt of her sword, came to the mouth of the cave, and looked around vigilantly——— there was silence in the dim forest.

"Nothing?"

"It doesn't look like it."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the black bear again, if it was still like a great enemy before, then at this time this black bear had already hid behind him, holding his head in his hands and trembling!

"Lokihi, think of a way, aren't you a mage?"

"I'm a Plastic Mage!"

Luo Qixi emphasized the word "plastic energy" as she looked out of the cave, and then she thought for a moment and raised her hand.

"Illumination!"

Soon, a ball of light emerged from Lokihi's hand and flew out of the cave, illuminating the surroundings.

Then, under the light of an incandescent lamp, suddenly, the bushes not far away made a "swish" sound, as if something was approaching.

Oh? Is there really something?

Duanmu Huai stood up with interest and looked outside, and Amelia, who was at the entrance of the cave at the moment, also drew her sword out of the sheath, and Luo Qixi on the other side also clenched the staff in her hand. Only Ogis was still unhurriedly flipping through the book——— even getting closer to the fire.

"Boom———"

The bushes continued to shake, and a moment later, a dark shadow emerged from them.

"Whew......... It's just a fawn. ”

Seeing the fawn that came out of the light technique, Emilia was relieved at first, but at this moment, Duanmu Huai's eyes were staring.

"No, that's not an ordinary critter, look closely!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Emilia and Luo Qixi were stunned for a moment, and at the same time, they saw that instead of running, the fawn walked straight towards them, and as the fawn approached, everyone finally saw its appearance clearly!

I saw that the skin on the neck of this fawn had almost fallen off, and under the rotten flesh, even the white bones could be seen! And half of the fawn's face was swollen like a balloon, and there was even yellow mucus in it. Not only that, but if you look closely, you will find that in the right eye of the fawn, there is a huge cavity that seems to have been eaten away, and a sticky, chickenpox-like bulge tentacle sticks out of it, and it is squirming incessantly!

"This, what is this!"

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
