"Mark, go ahead, is it really the elven station?" Thor asked in a deep voice.

Mark hadn't realized anything was wrong, and he nodded a little anxiously, "Yes." ”

The rows of humanoids behind him had not yet disappeared, and they stood quietly behind Mark.

Surrounded by him.

Thor didn't rub his eyes, nor did he close them and open them again.

He raised his hand and pointed to Mark's side, "Algae." ”

The black tentacles flew out and swept around Mark's body.

Like a pebble thrown into the water, the air around Mark rippled, and the figures with their heads bowed gradually dissipated in the ripples.

Mark wanted to defend the moment he saw Xiaozao, but he saw Thor's solemn expression and didn't move.

When Algae flicked two whips in the air, Mark looked to his left and right, "Do you see anything?" ”

"There were a lot of figures around you just now, but they disappeared in a sweep." Saul paused for a moment, not quite sure, "Maybe it's an illusion of this forest, like a mirage." ”

"Is it a hallucination?" Morton turned his head to Agu, who was not good at this.

Agu couldn't give an accurate answer, "Like." But my mental body is stable, and it doesn't seem like I'm under the influence of hallucinations. ”

Ann also followed, "That's right, I'm very sensitive to changes in the spirit body, and when those figures appeared just now, I didn't notice anything abnormal. ”

While a few people pondered what they saw, Mark only sighed.

"Since coming to the Four Seasons Forest, we have encountered many phenomena that cannot be explained with our current knowledge. Now I'm not surprised, as long as it doesn't threaten my life, I don't care about other people's shadows and ghosts. ”

Thor nodded, stepping forward to keep up with Mark.

"That's right, the anomaly here is certainly not something we can unravel. Find Khonsha first. ”

The few people walked in the deep forest for two hours, during which they encountered several strange phenomena.

However, they didn't meet the elves that Mark said would come after them, so they didn't run for their lives again.

When Thor felt tired again, the scene in front of him was finally no longer just trees, vines, and grass.

The growth of the forest was like someone had pressed the pause button, and Thor crossed a row of towering ancient trees, and suddenly saw an open green meadow.

The sun can finally shine on it unbridledly, and the breeze doesn't have to worry about being blocked by dense foliage.

Rustic white wooden houses stand on the grass.

The houses were built haphazardly and distributed haphazardly. It's like coming to a spring outing and setting up a tent at will.

As Mark stepped onto the meadow, Thor finally saw a third man in the valley.

And this man he had only met not long ago.

Monroe.

Monroe was standing sideways, and Thor could only see half of his face.

He stared into the distance, his mouth slightly open, as if in a state of distraction.

"Monroe!" Seeing this, Mark immediately shouted.

Monroe's body shuddered and turned his head sharply.

Thor's steps that he was about to follow stopped in an instant.

Monroe, he's missing an eye.

If Thor remembers correctly, it was the one he ate in front of him.

When Monroe saw Thor, his only remaining eyes lit up, ignoring Mark who was walking past, and trotted all the way to Thor.

"You're finally here! Kongsha said that if you come, you will definitely help us escape! I'm afraid you don't need cryptocrystalline! Monroe's face was agitated, and his empty eyes twitched.

He reached out to grab Thor but was blocked by several consciousnesses with their bodies.

"What's wrong?" Monroe wondered, "Who are they?" ”

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Thor asked him.

Monroe raised his hand and touched his empty eyes, poked his fingertips in a little, and quickly pulled them out.

"It broke when I was attacked by the elves, and I was eating......"

Seeing that there was no conflict between Thor and Monroe, Mark walked to the depths of the scattered houses with peace of mind, shouting a few names from his mouth.

The one who shouted the most was Khonsha.

Thor was still a little uneasy about Monroe, and when Mark wasn't there, he happened to re-ask the question he asked Mark.

Monroe gave the same answer, and there was not much difference in the details.

After listening to Monroe's description, Thor also told Monroe about the knowledge clone he had seen in the Wizarding Tower.

“…… He suddenly ate his own eyes. ”

Monroe wasn't surprised, "My eyes are gone, and his nature is useless." ”

Then he licked his lips, "It's delicious, I haven't eaten meat in a long time." ”

He was even more surprised by another thing that Saul mentioned, "Has it been half a year outside?" ”

"You don't feel it?" Thor felt that wizards should still be very sensitive to time.

Monroe smiled bitterly: "The alternation of day and night in the Forest of the Four Seasons is irregular, sometimes the sun does not set for three or four days, and sometimes the night does not end for three or four days. Not only day and night, but the four seasons here are also different from outside. ”

By this time, Mark had already turned back, he looked worried, and his mouth was still muttering, "Where did they go, how dangerous it is here, didn't you say you can't leave without permission?" ”

Thor glanced at Mark, most of his attention on Monroe.

“…… The four seasons here are divided by region. The farthest point from the center of the valley is spring, and the dense forest you came across when you came here is summer, and further from here, it is autumn. ”

Hearing this, An couldn't help but answer, "Isn't the center of the Elven Valley winter?" Will it still snow here? ”

Unexpectedly, Monroe gave Ann a strange look, "What winter?" What snows? All year round, the last season is, of course, the dead season! ”

An was stunned, I don't know if the one-eyed apprentice in front of me is teasing himself.

Thor raised his hand and turned his head sideways to ask Mark, who had already walked behind Monroe and stood dumbfounded, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mark, don't you know what winter is?"

Mark, who was standing behind Monroe, was in a trance for a moment, and seemed to realize that he was about to hit Monroe's back, and hurriedly took a step back.

He rubbed his eyebrows and muttered, "I know, the snow season, winter, the words are different in different places, that is, ...... Very cold, will be a white crystalline period of time. ”

Mark didn't explain, but when he explained, Thor suddenly felt that he was also very sick.

"Are both of you a little vague about winter?" Thor said to himself, and then he made a gesture to the four consciousnesses to stop interjecting.

He wants to see what other cognitions of these people have been blurred from future exchanges.

And the obscure place is likely to be the key to leaving the Elven Valley.

Although Thor didn't come here to save people, he needed to find the thing in the Four Seasons Forest that was very important to him and could save his life in the future.

It's a pity that there are no hints in the diary this time.

The next step is for everyone to find a way out of the valley and for that important thing.

"So, Monroe, is the dead season at the center of the valley? What does that look like? ”

Monroe didn't regain his consciousness because of Mark's explanation just now, and he said as a matter of course: "Is something going on out there?" You don't even know this? The dead season is the season when there is nothing, as if time has been detached! And the dead season is also the season that is most vulnerable to elf attacks. ”

Mark also lowered his hand, the bridge of his nose had been pinched red by himself.

"The palace I just spoke of is at the intersection of autumn and the dead season. The range of the four seasons here fluctuates for several hundred meters. When autumn expands, there will be more food, but the corresponding danger will also be greater. ”

Monroe nodded repeatedly, "My eyes were attacked when I ate mushrooms. That mushroom attacked me! ”

He looked indignant, "Then I just ate that mushroom!" ”
