Others looked at Orlando with the same puzzled eyes.

Orlando, who was also inspecting the wolf corpse, did not answer Teklin's words, but suddenly looked up at the sky, and said to the gathered people with a solemn face: "The sky has begun to darken, we need to find a place to spend the night first, there will be more dangers in the forest at night, and we can talk about other things slowly." ”

There was no much opposition to this suggestion.

However, Teklin's question just now made everyone feel a little more uneasy and worried.

What kind of trouble did they get into this time?

The fog had completely cleared, making it easy for Orlando, a jungle ranger, to find his bearings.

They had only just entered the periphery of Erin's Forest, and Orlando, who had been to Erin Forest many times, was still familiar with these places.

"There was a cave not far ahead, and I thought we could spend the night there. ”

Orlando pointed in a direction and walked first.

No one saw how worried Orlando, who was walking in front, was.

Just before, when Orlando killed the first wolf, he could clearly feel the same dark power from those wolves as he carried on his own, which made Orlando feel very uneasy.

Orlando, who has most of his goblin blood, can't accept turning into a bloodthirsty creature like them under any circumstances.

Orlando secretly made up his mind that if things really went bad, then he would choose to "purify" himself.

......

The group finally arrived at the cave that Orlando had spoken of before dark.

There is a small stream next to the cave that is about to dry up, although the stream is small, but it is clear, and there is a large stone more than six feet high at the entrance of the cave, which covers most of the cave entrance, and at a glance, it is not possible to directly see the situation in the cave.

The cave is about a foot deep, and the inside is quite spacious, surrounded by rock walls, and although it is close to a stream, it is not damp.

Upon entering the cave, Orlando expertly pulls out a pile of dry firewood from a corner of the cave.

Looking at the quantity, it should be enough tonight.

Ike took the initiative to take the firewood from Orlando and skillfully built a bonfire in the cave.

The crackling flames dispelled the cold of the night, and also relaxed everyone's nerves, which were already a little tense.

Dinner was still a slimy bean sauce soup with rusks.

This easy-to-store, easy-to-carry and convenient food is a must-have ration for almost all adventurers when they go out on an adventure, and can be eaten directly to satisfy hunger, or cooked with water and eaten with other foods.

After eating, the group sat around the fire to rest.

The nights in Erin's Forest are no different from those in the other forests, and although it's late summer, they're all the same eerie cold.

Everyone has some questions about the strangeness of the wolves during the day.

Lance was the first to break the silence and speak, "Before I came, I happened to have seen some similar accounts in the library of the River Valley, and this abnormal behavior of the wolves is very similar to a kind of evil witchcraft of the pagans. ”

At this point, Lance's tone paused slightly, and after he looked around at the others, he said in another questioning tone, "Or is it the necromancy that has disappeared for many years?"

After the wolf attack, Lance remembered a story that Grandpa Laurie, the village bard, had told them when he was a child.

After a private discussion with Ike, both of them felt a bit like the necromancy mentioned in the story.

So after Lance finished speaking, Ike nodded heavily.

When he heard the words "necromancy", Orlando had a wry smile on his face, and there was something unnatural on his face.

However, no one noticed.

Suotaki and Blanc burst out laughing after a brief silence, their laughter breaking the somewhat serious atmosphere in the cave.

Blank, who was sitting next to Lance, smiled, "Haha...... Lance, you say it's a pagan evil witchcraft, I believe it, but to say it's necromancy is a bit of a stretch, knowing that necromancy has been lost in the continent of Kostana for more than four hundred years. ”

Indeed, the purge of necromancers four hundred years ago is well known, and after that purge, necromancers completely disappeared from the continent, and information about necromancers can only be understood by relying on the descriptions of books.

Lance's face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed, saying that it was necromancy was just his personal guess, and now that he thought about it, it did seem a little unreliable.

Orlando took over and said, "Blank is right, it's unlikely to be a necromancy that has been gone for years, but it's very similar to a form of witchcraft called beast control. ”

When he heard the beast control technique, Blanc was slightly stunned, and suddenly said: "Yes, it should be the beast control technique, I used to see a group of heretics who believed in evil gods on the northern border, and they manipulated beasts to fight for them by means of sacrifice, which is very similar to what we encountered today." It was a big incident, and I heard that it even alarmed the church. ”

Hearing this, Orlando's eyes showed a sly look that flashed away, and his slightly frowning brow stretched slightly.

You must know that some evil arts are derived from necromancy, so it is normal to be mistaken.

Lance's face was dry, and he said to everyone with a little apology: "I'm sorry, maybe I'm thinking too much." However, the Irene Mountains are located in the interior of the Southern Kingdom, and I don't think it is very likely that there will be pagans. "It's very likely that this has something to do with the shattered Sealed Magic Array.

Although Lance's last sentence was not spoken, it also made everyone fall into thought.

"When I left the Forest of Irene, things were normal, but now it's been almost half a year, and I didn't expect this to happen. ”

Orlando said with some annoyance.

"My friend, it's not your fault, no one knows what happened to Erin Forest in the past six months, we were originally here to have an adventure this time, don't you say?"

Tecklin's determined, sincere gaze warmed Orlando's heart.

Orlando nodded to Teklin and continued, "Since we entered the Irene Forest this time, I can still feel the presence of that dark force, although it is very weak, but I can feel some of the connection, but I believe that the situation is not too bad to be out of control. ”

It's just that there are some cases that Orlando didn't say.

That is, the dark power emitted from the dead wolf corpses did not dissipate with the death of the evil wolf, but entered Orlando's body.

Although this dark power is extremely weak, Orlando, who is a half-elf, can still detect it, and this is the power from that seal.

Orlando's heart sank even more.

Suo Long, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said impatiently: "Aren't they just a few heretics who can control beasts, what is there to worry about? I'll be on duty on the first night of the day. ”

After speaking, Suo Long immediately got up and went to the entrance of the cave to find a sheltered place and sat down, and the rest of the people looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders to each other, and did not continue the previous topic.

It's just beast control, and there's really nothing to worry about.

Orlando glanced at Suo Long without a trace, and after assigning the night duty with a few other people, he also found a corner to rest at random.
