Because Ivus doesn't have wind attribute mana, Liz can't take Ivus with him to elementalize.

But even a simple near-ground flight quickly found the direction of Alder Town.

After all, when they first came to Eagle Point Village, the two griffon aunts had already taken them through Alder Town. If it weren't for the fact that this didn't look like Eagle Point Village, they might have landed here.

And after being able to see Alder Town, Sherlock on the griffin subconsciously glanced back.

only to find that the village of Eagle Cape did not disappear because he left there. A circular village, neatly laid out at the bottom of the valley. Even if you look down from this angle, you can see that the edge of the village is a very neat circle.

He immediately patted Ivus on the back and shared the situation with him.

Ivus glanced back as well, then thoughtfully.

"That's ......"

As long as you've been to Cape Eagle Village, won't you be confused by the enchantment again?

Or is there something else...... For example, being remembered by the people here, or sleeping here?

In this way, Dai Ya...... That is, the illusory egg of the dream demon, and it is also possible that he has been to Eagle Cape Village.

Is she still at the hotel?

I guess it's gone.

The dream demon is also a high-level illusion demon.,Usually lives in the dream world.。

Without the contract of the Demon Scholar, it would be difficult for the Superior Demon to stay in the present world for a long time. Unless the Demon Scholar summons her again, she should stay in the realm of dreams of the Path of Beauty all year round.

…… Then the Earth Bound Spirit here is probably quite lonely.

She probably thought that the Dream Demon was just as good at manipulating illusions and dreams as she was, and that she should be able to stay and play with her. But I didn't expect the other party to be a big sister with a job, so I just came over and posted it and went back to work......

With a chirping of the griffin, the griffon's height began to slowly decrease.

"It seems that the chaotic timing is not attached to us, and the sense of time is normal immediately after leaving Eagle Cape Village."

Ivas first glanced up at the sun in the sky, moved by the moment when it no longer jumped suddenly.

Then he looked down at the road sign ahead.

It was a crooked old metal brand.

It was facing the direction of Alder Town, standing on a fork in the road.

On the left side is a red arrow written the words "Danger here, it is forbidden to move forward, violators will be sentenced to death"; On the right, there is a black arrow that says "To Bagpipe Town", and a black arrow on the top that reads "To Alder Town".

It was now tilted forty-five degrees to the left, as if it had been blown by the wind. It was covered with damp dirt and a large number of dried and scattered mud stains.

Apparently very few people come here. Because on some of the wet roads, there were no footprints or ruts to be seen except for the footprints that Liz had stepped on when she landed.

Sherlock frowned suddenly, looked around, and fell into thought.

He suddenly rolled out of the griffin and ran behind the sign to take a look. Then he stepped back and patted Ivace's arm.

"Ivus, clean up this brand." Sherlock said.

"Uh-huh."

The corners of Aihuas's mouth rose slightly, and without even asking "why", he directly waved his hand and released a flame butterfly carrying the fire of purification.

It flew slowly to the street sign and exploded into a cloud of flames.

In the midst of the flames, the sign was not burned, but underwent a strange change - the words on it suddenly changed to a different font.

The arrow that was originally up became downward, and the text on the left and right sides was reversed. The danger arrow pointing to the left becomes the right.

"Sure enough," Sherlock scoffed, "and I felt that the sign was either reversed or blown upside down by the storm." Otherwise, there is some kind of illusion that turns the front and back upside down.

"The three-way road sign in Avalon points to a one-way street instead of pointing up but down. Only when the sign is facing away from that road will it point upwards – just as the upper part of a crossroads means forward. ”

"This shows that the strength of the Earth Binding Spirit is not as weak as we thought."

Ivus whispered, "It's so far away...... She's already capable of creating hallucinations that affect far away. ”

Alice...... Is it? ”

Sherlock muttered.

Evas had told him about his experiences and experiences during the promotion ceremony, including the poor girl named Alice, who had been buried in the foundation. She is the earthbound spirit of the haunted inn, and the source of the series of disasters that led Daiya, the egg of the dream demon, to the endeavor.

Typically, Earthbound spirits create hallucinations or dreams to kill people passing by, sucking their souls to strengthen themselves.

And if the Earthbound Spirit is much stronger than it was sixty years ago......

That may mean that she has eaten a lot of people.

“…… Maybe it's a tough battle. ”

Little Sherlock warned solemnly, "She is no longer the innocent girl she was sixty years ago when she just became an earthbound spirit. ”

"Not necessarily."

Ivas shook his head, "I'm leaning towards the other possibility......"

"What?" Sherlock was a little confused.

"No, we'll talk about that later."

Ivus didn't answer.

Because that's just a conjecture, there's no evidence. It's a bit self-inflicted to say it now.

And as they mounted the griffons again, they flew in the right direction.

Soon the sky was overcast.

It's like a videotape speeding up—perhaps because the griffons they're riding are so fast, causing the clouds in the sky to multiply and stack at a rate almost visible to the naked eye.

They had just seen the inn from afar, and the sky, which had been only cloudy, had become cloudy.

With a flash of lightning.

The cold wind whistled and thunder rang out.

Then, without warning, the rain fell down!

"—again?"

Sherlock frowned: "It's still an illusion, right?" ”

"I can't get rid of that."

Ivus chuckled, but just reached out to cover his eyes and look at the approaching inn, unimpressed.

By the time they reached the inn, Sherlock's newsboy coat was completely wet.

He had a stinky face and a furrowed brow. It looks like thinking about how much to ask.

The inn didn't look like it was hallucinating.

Its brand was rudely removed, leaving only white traces of glue. The building is visibly old from the outside, with a layer of white dust visible to the naked eye like a computer fan that has not been taken care of for more than a year, and a thick layer has piled up from the cracks in the building.

"Is anyone there?"

Evas dismounted the griffin, shouted and pushed open the door of the inn.

As a result, the hall of the inn, which was so dilapidated that it looked like it was last century, was empty.

In the dimly lit hotel, there was only one young receptionist.

He looked very thin. Dressed in inappropriate thin clothes, with folded hands like a student, he was lying on the table and napping.

But judging by Aihuas's divine vision as a third-level priest, he could easily see that the outline of this front desk was translucent.

The corners of Aihuas's mouth rose slightly, and he walked generously to the front of the front desk.

"Yo, long time no see, little brother."

He greeted with a smile.
