Chapter 10: Valley of the Whispers
Alan stood in the night breeze and watched the beast tamer go away.
Who is she?
Questions, swirling in Alan's mind.
Eventually, towards a name that he had almost forgotten.
Sonia!
Allen's fellow villager, his mother was abducted, his father became an alcoholic, and the girl next door who has been poor and abused since childhood.
He was abducted by a circus two years ago and has not been heard from since.
Although there is no evidence, his intuition tells Eren that the strange beast tamer is likely to be the missing Sonia.
However, putting aside intuition and returning to reason, it is easy to see that there are two irregularities in the above speculation.
For one, the age, figure, and appearance of the animal trainer do not match the Sonia that Eren remembers.
I haven't seen each other for two years, and it's impossible for the whole person to change completely.
The whole body plastic surgery is not so thorough!
Unless, she is also good at disguise magic, or has lived in the secret realm of time for a long time.
Second, even if she were Sonia, it would be impossible for her to recognize Alan Panthers.
Otherwise, wouldn't you be in vain?!
In this case, why is this woman able to reveal her identity in one word?
What was the purpose of the note left by the beast tamer?
Alan couldn't figure it out for a while.
In order to solve the mystery, it seems that he has to go to Baiquanze.
……
Six well-qualified children are kidnapped by the Wonder Circus.
Four of them are also descendants of the Griffin family!
In order to rescue the kidnapped children, the Griffin family immediately organized a manpower to hunt down the circus.
Allen, Julie, and Ferrin, as eyewitnesses, were also included in the arrest team.
The team was led by Ferrin's father, Ryan.
Mr. Lane, slightly chubby and with a kind smile on his face, like a shrewd businessman, is in fact the contemporary patriarch of the Griffin family.
The strength of the late second-order stage is enough to dominate the entire island!
Vice-Captain Charlie, one of Fei Lin's clan uncles, cultivated to the early stage of the second order.
There are also three members of the team, Neil, Pike, and Laurie, all of whom are Feilin's cousins.
The cultivation realm of the three young people is all in the late stage of the first order.
The pursuit team was formed.
The next day, we depart for the escape of the Wonder Circus, Baiquan Island.
Ryan and Charlie, when they were younger, used to travel all over the world.
Baiquan Island is one of the places they visited.
He is familiar with the local situation and can be a guide.
Alan made a special inquiry with Ferling's father and learned that there were two very dangerous places on Baiquan Island.
One of them is the "Valley of Whispers", which is said to be the abode of goblins and ghosts.
The second is the meeting place that the animal trainer and Alan "agreed" on-Baiquanze.
Take a boat from Griffin Island and the journey will take at least two months.
However, the Griffins have a quicker means of transportation - the griffon airship.
Four griffons, in groups of two, take turns towing small airships.
With griffon towing and auxiliary power from the sails, it takes less than three days to reach Fountains Island.
……
Baiquan Island, a northern coastal area.
Valley of Whispers.
On both sides of the valley, there are dense forests.
The woods are inhabited by moody goblins.
There are also ghosts that hate the living.
Since ancient times, the valley has been shrouded in mysterious enchantments.
Any natural sounds, such as the sound of wind and thunder, as well as the roars of wild beasts, do not cause anomalies in the valley.
However......
If someone is talking loudly in the valley.
It doesn't matter what language is used, what accent is accented.
Words and phrases with complex grammatical logic can anger the goblins and ghosts of the valley and provoke attacks.
So, if you want to pass this valley safely, it's best to be quiet.
If you have to speak, you can only whisper in a low voice.
Hence the name "Whispering Valley".
……
Alan and his entourage, aboard a griffin airship, were originally planned to fly over the valley.
This way of passage is the safest.
Helpless, people are not as good as heaven.
During the flight, he encountered a storm and had to land to avoid the wind.
On the airship, in addition to the seven members of the Alan and Griffin families, there are four experienced crew members who are responsible for maintaining the airship and raising griffins.
Thanks to these experienced crews, the airship landed in the heart of the flat valley without any danger.
The place where the airship temporarily anchored, not far from the dense forest.
Two men in green cloaks, living in the woods.
Each holding a green-painted monocular, was peering at the people coming and going in the cabin.
The news that the Griffin family has formed a pursuit team has been found out by the animal trainers.
No sooner had the pursuer's airship taken off than Ethan received a magical summons from the animal trainer.
Ethan felt the need to give the Griffin family, who were not overwhelmed, a little bit of color.
As a result, the ventriloquist and the knifeman were left here by the regimental commander to stop the pursuers.
Both are natural warlocks.
The ventriloquist awakens the blood of the half-sheep.
The Knifeman has half-elven blood.
Cultivation is in the realm, and they are all in the late stage of the first order.
The rank is not high, but he is very good at woodland warfare.
Especially on a special occasion like Whisper Valley.
Victory or defeat depends more on environmental factors than on pure strength.
Clever hunters often appear as prey.
The two have reason to believe that with the carefully set trap, it is enough to give the pursuers a dismount!
……
The ventriloquist hid in the woods, pointed to Fei Lin, who had disembarked from the boat for a walk, and softly chanted the 1-ring "hypnotic" incantation.
“Vanima!”
A faint beam of blue light, through the branches and leaves, shot at Fei Lin's back.
Fehrin was whispering to Alan.
Both knew the taboos of this valley.
Deliberately keep your voice low, sometimes using gestures to help you talk.
Fei Lin stopped, and a look of confusion appeared on his chubby face.
"Felin, are you alright?"
Alan noticed that his expression was not right, and asked in a low voice.
"It's fine!" Fei Lin suddenly raised his voice, "It's just a little dizzy!" ”
"Ahh He let out a loud sneeze and rubbed his nose and exclaimed, "Look what the hell this weather is! The wind is getting stronger, our airship, when will we-"
You meow, don't take me with you to death!
Alan covered Ferrin's mouth to stop him from speaking loudly.
Look around vigilantly.
Fortunately, it didn't alarm the forest spirits for the time being.
"Woo woo~~"
Fei Lin was covered by him, and he struggled restlessly, as if he wanted to protest loudly.
At this time, Mr. Lane also realized that the situation was not right.
rushed over quickly, grabbed his son's ear, and twisted it half a circle.
Ferrin shivered in pain.
Stimulated by pain, he suddenly came back to his senses.
His face turned pale!
I finally realized that I had just fallen into hypnotic magic.
Before you know it, you have committed a taboo!
Julie, with her cousin Charlie and three cousins, hurried around.
"What's going on with Ferrin?" Julie leaned close to Alan's ear and asked in a low voice, "How dare he yell and scream, like he's crazy!" ”
"Felin, it seems that he was under hypnotic magic just now."
Alan replied in a whisper.
"Someone is plotting against us, trying to use Fei Lin to attract the siege of the forest spirits!"
