Chapter 37: The Prowler
Marl Empire is the largest mortal force on the main island of the Star Tree Islands.
The Sun Knight he was talking about was the founding emperor of the Marl Empire three thousand years ago, a legendary knight who was comparable to a formal wizard.
However, the Sun Knight disappeared during the Twilight Turmoil a thousand years ago after fighting a powerful enemy at the official wizard level who invaded the empire.
The Sun Knight has not appeared again for nearly a thousand years, and now the emperor of the empire has been passed down to the sixth Hermer II.
Why did these people mention the turmoil in the empire more than ten years ago?
Because the people in this town were born during the Twilight Troubles a thousand years ago, and were completely different from him in the same era.
Why do these people seem completely unaware of the badge on Yihua’s chest?
Because the Nine Rings White Tower branch on the Star Tree Islands was established in the last few hundred years after the disappearance of the Sun Knight.
How could the people of the empire from thousands of years ago recognize the nine-ring white tower wizard badge from hundreds of years ago?
By now, Yi Hua roughly understood the nature of this gray fog.
He was swept away by a strange area in Fangorn Forest.
"This is the weirdness that even mentor-level wizards are afraid of..."
These people should have been dead long ago, but for some reason, they appeared in front of Yihua across thousands of years in this chaotic time and space.
From Yi Hua's perspective now, the alien monsters in the fog are much more harmless than this weird town.
"We must find a way to leave this town."
Yihua secretly made up his mind. At this time, Depp saw Yihua's silence and asked with some confusion:
"Mr. Fercis, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I'm just I'm wondering when this fog will dissipate."
Yihua subconsciously looked up at Depp.
At this time, the opponent's face was ashen, and black spots of decay appeared faintly on his arms, like a moving corpse, completely devoid of its previous vitality.
Looking at the terrifying scene in front of him, Yihua's pupils shrank slightly.
Could it be that he realized the nature of the town and triggered some mechanism in this strange area?
Yihua wanted to leave directly, but saw Depp's strange state in front of him.
If he leaves by force, unknown dangers may arise.
In order to avoid accidents, Yihua must escape from the town without being discovered.
So he proposed the idea of taking a break to Depp.
Depp, who was rotting and exuding the stench of corpses, didn't seem to doubt his presence. He arranged Yihua in a side room of the wooden house, then turned around and left.
Yihua, who was hiding in the side room, looked at the paper window beside the dusty bedside. He poked a hole in the window and looked out through the hole.
Most of the lights in the surrounding wooden houses were extinguished, and the people inside seemed to have gone to sleep. Yihua thought for a moment and slowly cut the window paper with the cross sword.
After spending a lot of time completing a series of actions, Yihua took off the complete window paper from the window.
He tiptoed over the window, like a house cat, and landed quietly on the dirt outside the wooden house.
Before Ihua could breathe a sigh of relief, an unexpected voice came:
"Mr. Fersis, what do you mean?"
Depp, whose body was severely decomposed and had lost one eyeball, revealing dark eye sockets, was standing in the wooden house. On the side, he asked mechanically with a voice like a broken bellows.
When did he come outside the cabin?
Yi Hua's pupils shrank. With his hearing at the level of a great knight, he had not felt the movement of the door opening at all before. Could it be that the other party teleported?
It's as weird as a nightmare, and often cannot be inferred by common sense. This may actually be the case.
"I just want to leave here. I still have things to do. I can't be trapped in this fog."
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Yihua gradually calmed down and tried to find a turning point.
Depp did not respond to Yihua's words, but said in a hoarse voice:
"Stay..."
At the same time, the doors of the surrounding wooden houses opened at the same time, but there was no one inside.
Yi Hua turned around and saw hundreds of rotting corpse-like figures appearing out of thin air not far behind Yi Hua.
They blocked in front of the fog wall, trying to prevent Yihua from leaving this fog-free area.
"It seems that we can only force our way in."
Yi Hua pulled out the cross sword in his hand and held his breath. As the magic power in his body was wildly withdrawn, three skinners as tall as scarlet iron towers appeared in front of Yi Hua.
Feeling the little magic left in his body, he stepped forward and chopped off Depp's head with a sword.
Before he could even take a breath, the hundreds of living corpses around him seemed to have received an order to attack, rushing toward Yihua like a flood.
Yihua took three Skinners as the vanguard and followed their footsteps in an attempt to break out of the encirclement.
The physique of each living corpse is comparable to that of a formal knight, and there are hundreds of them.
Faced with such a battle, even a second-class wizard apprentice would be killed by force.
But it was nothing to Yi Hua, who was simultaneously controlling three second-class undead that were known for their vitality and also had the power of a great knight.
boom!
A living corpse was hit by a bone-cutting knife weighing a hundred kilograms in the hands of the skinner, and flew more than ten meters away like a cannonball.
At the same time as it landed, the living corpses with broken bodies knocked down several living corpses like bowling balls.
The scratching of living corpses can often only leave extremely shallow scratches on the skinner's body, and every slash of the bone-cutting knife in the skinner's hand can take away at least one living corpse.
Although there were three Skinners opening the way, the attack would inevitably fall on Yihua.
The scratched area flashed with white light, and a huge repulsive force bounced the corpse's claws away.
Feeling the minimal consumption of the life armor, Yihua took advantage of the situation and cut the unbalanced living corpse in half.
Before Yihua could take any further steps, a huge vibration suddenly came from the ground, as if some crisis underground was reviving.
"We must speed up!"
Knowing that the changes in the ground were definitely not a good thing, Yi Hua no longer cared about defense and ordered the Skinner to move forward at all costs, with Yi Hua following closely behind.
They had been fighting for an unknown amount of time. The skinners were covered in scratches and stained with stinky corpse blood. There was no trace of a living corpse standing on the field.
Although Yihua was protected by the life armor and was not contaminated, he was still out of breath.
boom!
The ground suddenly cracked, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
At this time, Yihua had no time to rest. Yihua, who was carrying the Skinner, opened his sore legs and ran towards the mist at the fastest speed in his life.
The moment Yihua walked out of the town, a harsh whale call came from the air.
Woo~
Along with the rolling fog, a huge gray mouth hundreds of meters long stretched out from the torn fog-free zone, swallowing the town from bottom to top.
The mist in the surrounding forest swarmed into the huge gray mouth like a dragon sucking water. The fierce wind made Yihua close his eyes.
When Yihua opened his eyes, the fog had already dissipated, leaving only a dense green forest, with no sign of the town.
"Is this weird..."
Seeing the scene in front of him, cold sweat dropped from Yihua's forehead.
