While admiring the power of the ocean in this world, Zhou Zhongmou was moving forward on the coastal road. When he saw the huge shark fin on the surface of the sea again, the Black Forest was close in front of him.

Zhou Zhongmou once again stepped into the forest, which had become dangerous since the Tide of Magic, and there was the largest city of the Belken Empire in the Black Forest: Württemberg. The last time he came, Zhou Zhongmou experienced a strange adventure, which was more of a horror movie than an adventure, except that the audience was immersed in the scene and acted as an extra. This time, Zhou Zhongmou wanted to know if there would be new victims.

In this small city, Zhou Zhongmou walked casually through the streets and alleys, and there was a faint smell in the air - Zhou Zhongmou had remembered the smell of the old and stale ashes mixed with the dry corpses of the dead. There is such a faint aura everywhere in the city, as if the "people" carrying these breaths walk through the streets and alleys here like living people, but Zhou Zhongmou can't see them.

"They are always there, but they will only appear in front of the predetermined victims" Zhou Zhongmou knew this very well in his heart, and he also gave up his efforts to deliberately find these things, speaking of which, he didn't know why he was looking for them, was it just because he didn't want new victims to appear?

Zhou Zhongmou pushed open the door of the bar, this bar is next to the union, the second floor of the building is the same as other bars, the first floor is a hall, and the second floor is a few rooms and the residence of the owner of the bar. The tall figure stopped the hustle and bustle in the bar for a moment, and then everyone returned to their respective hustle and bustle after watching the fierce-looking man sit calmly in an empty seat and order a glass of wine without starting to cause trouble.

Zhou Zhongmou sat in his position. There was a sip of mellow ale. The owner here is very kind. I didn't mix water with the wine. Of course, the dress of a powerful warrior like Zhou Zhongmou also attracted the attention of some people - a tall and strong man with a half-body chain mail on his body and a big sword on his waist, and this big sword was obviously a magic weapon, so of course such a man had the qualifications to win over. In fact, in just twenty minutes, several members of the adventurous gang had already come to talk.

"Ah, I'm from Southern Yuctobania, and I'm alone. Oh. I'm here to take a look. I'm really sorry to rush back to Karelia. Zhou Zhongmou kept using these words to reject those who wanted to go on adventures with him, but when these people found that this fierce-looking man was actually very contrastingly gentle and easy to speak, although they were rejected, they still exchanged adventures together.

Of course, Zhou Zhongmou also invited them to drink, and the atmosphere of the conversation was very good, and a few people who came to woo him were also considered veterans of adventure, and as people who wooed people, their personalities were mostly outgoing and enthusiastic, and since Zhou Zhongmou talked to them about the nearby adventure secrets, they were also happy to communicate a lot-although they couldn't tell their secrets. But the general topic doesn't hurt.

During the conversation, Zhou Zhongmou also had a little understanding of the nearby adventure secrets. None of the places these guys can go are very advanced. It's almost the same level as the black iron-level labyrinth city. And these people are not there to neutralize those secret realms, but to go there to collect some materials, collect some herbs and sell them for money to make a living. For this reason alone, even if they had enough strength, they would not neutralize those secret realms.

Of course, Zhou Zhongmou also asked about the strange manor in the Black Forest, and even pointed out the general location with his finger on the rudimentary map. But the adventurers shook their heads in unison and said that they had never found any secret places there, but the barkeeper who was listening on the side had a new piece of information.

"Yes, there was a manor there. That was a long time ago, though. It seems to have been abandoned and collapsed since my grandfather's time. Ah, I don't remember this, it's been a long time, but I've heard that it's like a fire or something. The bar owner looked at the map and affirmed.

In the end, Zhou Zhongmou left Württemberg alone and headed back. He walked over to the place, and as expected, the great Victorian manor still stood quietly in the black forest. Just as he saw it for the first time, the forest receded around the manor, the pale sunlight sprinkled on the house and the vines that clinged to it Standing in the black forest, Zhou Zhongmou, who was looking at this house, felt a trace of coldness from the bottom of his heart, and when he saw the pale human face faintly visible behind the window half-hidden by the vines, this creepy feeling from the bottom of his heart was really uncomfortable.

After standing there and watching for more than ten minutes, Zhou Zhongmou led the horse in the direction of far away from this place, and when he looked up at the sky with a feeling, the clouds in the sky were constantly gathering and dispersing by the wind, but in the sky above the house, the clouds vaguely formed the shape of a skull face - the next moment it was torn apart by the wind.

When he left the borders of the Belken Empire and stepped into the Eagle's Nest Mountains, the order within the empire was far away. The roads and hills were once again full of monsters, bandits, bandits, and demonic animals, so the merchants here also formed brigades, and the number of travelers walking alone was almost extinct. Zhou Zhongmou did not join any of the caravans - it was due to the wrong time, and the current caravan was still at the beginning of the road, in a half-dead town, waiting for more caravans to join and expand. Zhou Zhongmou, who couldn't wait for them to complete the expansion, left the town alone and hit the road, anyway, for him, it was easier to deal with those thieves and monsters alone, even if he couldn't beat them, it would be more convenient.

He had come with the caravan, and because of the sheer size, he had not encountered many attacks, and now that he was on the road alone, the bastard who had seen it was enough to carry a fight. So far, he has walked about twenty kilometers, and it has taken him three hours, and he has sent away at least ten robbers of different races and scales, and of course the most hairy thieves are still the goods of the goblin clan - from goblins to goblins to bear goblins, and of course ogres have appeared, and even kobolds have appeared twice. Now Zhou Zhongmou is not afraid of this group of goods, usually the goblins scatter in a hurry after Zhou Zhongmou shows the big sword, and the goblins will have to cut off at least two or three heads before they run away; 。

As for kobolds and goblins, the only trouble is that when the number of kobolds reaches a certain level, there will be kobold wizards, and wizards who can throw fireballs are very troublesome. But the biggest annoyance is that no matter how many robberies Zhou Zhongmou cuts, there will always be more on the road ahead - and every one of them is a poor ghost, with no magic equipment on his body and no money in his pocket (to be continued......
