The long fairy road is wonderful

1356 Grim Reaper

On a cold night, the unique red and blue moons of Mantra Heart hang obliquely in the sky.Under the clear moonlight, a flock of flapping crows hovered over the camp, forming a very standard and unnatural circle.

They never chirp, they are silent and serious like guards of honor at important ceremonies, every time they flap their wings, the fine black feathers slowly fall like snowflakes, the bonfire explodes violently, and the flying fire powder melts the black feathers, one by one images Gradually taking shape in a gorgeous flame...

——Just looking at the aggressiveness of this appearance, I feel that it is not a good thing.

Above the half-meter-high bonfire, an image that could be seen to be a human figure appeared, and the images on the ten bonfires were all exactly the same, as if ten TVs were broadcasting the same program at the same time.

Judging from the curve of the body, it should be a woman. She is wearing a heavy robe with a hood, and there is a crow standing on her shoulder, but the image is made of erratic flames, as if it may dissipate in the pitch black at any time In the dark night, it was somewhat blurry, so it was difficult to identify the specific appearance of this image, only a pair of slightly pointed ears could be seen from the slightly raised parts on both sides of the hood.

These images made of flames standing above the bonfire are about three meters high, and it can be said that students who are blocked by the teachers can also see them.

"Back back! Power in the dark!"

The dean yelled at the image, then chanted a spell, and a gleaming silver light appeared in her hand, as if it was a dispelling spell.

But the image standing on the bonfire just swayed, and the dean's efforts hardly had any effect.

"This may be due to the failure of the confrontation caused by the large gap in the level of the casters. The instructor sent by Selina to lead the team cannot be too weak, but the person who sent this image is too strong."

Sai Li knew what was going on at a glance, and simply said something to Lin Tianci.

However, the image above the flame didn't care about the director's operation, and the tightly pursed lips under the hood moved slightly:

"Humans, you have stepped into the sacred forest."

Her voice is not high, very low, but it may be due to the result of magic amplification, the decibel is not low, and everyone present can clearly hear it.

"The monsters attracted by you demand blood and defile the lady's sanctuary."

She said... a vampire?
The director of teaching changed a spell, and a group of purple aura slowly gathered.

At this time, the influence above the bonfire turned his head slightly, and seemed to look in the direction of the dean.

At the same time, the spell in the dean's hand broke instantly, and she seemed to be hit by an invisible shock wave, and was almost overturned. Fortunately, the teacher next to her quickly assisted her.

"It's a message and a warning."

The movements of the ten images were exactly the same, and they also began to dissipate at the same time:
"Leave the lady's forest, if I see you tomorrow..."

Before the second half of the sentence was finished, the image above the bonfire quickly shrank and disappeared, and the crows hovering over the camp also dispersed. In an instant, everything was calm as if nothing had happened, but the threat was palpable.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

The mysterious image that suddenly appeared threatened a few words, and then disappeared swiftly, without a word of nonsense at all, and obviously had no intention of talking to others.

The camp returned to calm, but the teachers seemed to be more nervous. After checking to make sure that there were no evil spells left behind, they arranged a lot of temporary barriers.Originally planned to work in three shifts, this is a good move, and quickly adjusted to two shifts temporarily, strengthening the manpower of the night watch.

Compared with the more nervous teachers, the students are also anxious.

Originally, no one except the teacher knew that there were vampires in the forest, but who knew that a mysterious person suddenly popped up in the middle of the night to send a message. The students who were camping in the wild for the first time still had a hard time adapting to the environment, and now they couldn't sleep at all.

When Lin Tianci was sitting on the branch watching the night, he saw many people wrapped in sleeping bags tossing and turning like caterpillars. Most of them would probably have a sleepless night, and Farah and Amy were among the sleepless crowd. .

The former may be pure worry, while the latter may be because Lin Tianci's question about her mother brought back bad memories, plus a video suddenly popped up to do something, it would be strange if he could sleep.

But since most of them have been mentioned, there are still some heartless ones who can fall asleep, such as Nora.

This girl has very little expression, it should be said that she rarely shows it. When the mysterious image popped out before, she was as scared as many students. She grabbed Amy with one hand and the corner of Farah's cloak with the other. The magic staff that I usually hold in my arms and don't let go of it just leans on my body and doesn't care about it, but my face looks the same as usual.

And when everything was over and everyone couldn't fall asleep, Nora fell into a sweet sleep after lying in the sleeping bag.This kind of strong nerve is an extremely important quality for an adventurer.

Regardless of whether the people in the camp were still asleep or not, Lin Tianci asked Sai Li for her opinion while standing guard on the branch.

The information conveyed by the mysterious person is not much, but the amount of information is quite high. From the way of appearance to the details in the words, they are all evidences that may lock her real body, but it requires a wealth of knowledge.

Just right, the blue goblin is famous for his knowledge

"First of all, she is definitely not human, but a pair of pointed ears can't directly judge her as an elf."

There are many races that are similar in size to humans, but have a pair of pointed ears. The most typical ones are many elves, such as dryads, and there are also tieflings who are mixed blood of lower plane creatures and mortals, but this The odds are low because tieflings have a pair of horns in addition to their ears.

When she couldn't see a clear image, and didn't show Lushan's true face, she couldn't judge her race too accurately.

"Although it's not too outrageous to use the bonfire as a medium to communicate with people in the distance, the newly developed magic technology cannot achieve such a stable communication, especially if there is still room to counter the spell of dispelling."

At first, the dean thought it was some kind of evil creature, so at first the silver light in his hand was the expulsion spell. This spell could not only kick back the alien creatures, but also dispel the power of the alien creatures.

But the expulsion technique is useless. Apart from the huge difference in strength between the two sides, it may also mean that they are not demons and other alien creatures, but local aborigines in the mortal plane. From a functional point of view, the image and sound are just for conveying information.

So the second spell uses dispel magic, which does have a strong impact on communication, so she was countered by the mysterious man.

This is also a very unbelievable place. The range of spells is strictly limited. Unless it is a very special type of magic, even in the ancient elves, the range of spells is only at most 30 meters.

If you want to cast spells remotely, the difficulty will increase exponentially, and you can't just do whatever you want to cast spells remotely, you need a medium.

Afterwards, the teachers checked the surroundings of the camp, including the bonfire, and found nothing suspicious.

If the bonfire is the medium of the communication spell, then what medium did she use to repel the director's spell?
This is obviously contrary to the theory of arcane art, but arcane art in this world is just a type of spell, at most it is the most widely used one today.

Don't forget, in addition to magicians who can use spells, there are also a group of people who can still use spells with firm and devout beliefs.

"I suspect that she may be a priest of some god, which can be seen from her mention of the sacred forest, perhaps a powerful druid, then she can cast spells remotely to take advantage of the crows hovering above her head, or even any tree in the forest as a medium."

Assuming that this crow forest is really a "sacred forest" of a certain god, it also means that this is a holy place for a certain god.

As long as the priest has the permission of the gods, he can use everything in the Holy Land, which is equivalent to the entire forest being the magic weapon of that priest.

This is not common, but it also shows that the opponent is really strong.

"Generally speaking, the gods with the term 'sacred forest' are mostly nature gods, such as the father of the oak tree, the forest goddess Melika, and the sprout goddess Xion Liya. And from the wording, she hates vampires very much, and They also don't like humans who attract vampires, which is in line with the teachings of the natural gods, and it is also the same as the philosophy of most druids."

The gods of the gods of nature represent nature itself, and of course they would hate undead creatures that disrupt the natural cycle of life and death.

At the same time, due to the expansion of mortal civilization, forests are often cut down and the natural environment is destroyed. This also makes many druids who serve the gods of nature hate it. Some ancient forests have radical druids. Any creature that destroys nature will be made into flower fertilizer, even if it is a living person.

In addition to being able to drive crows, judging from these aspects, the opponent is likely to be a druid, and he is still a relatively rational druid. If it were a particularly radical sect, it would have already started fighting.

But it would be a bit early to conclude that it was a druid. You don't have to think too much about similar situations in other forests, but this Crow Forest is different.

"I told you before that the name of the Crow Forest is due to the legend that a mysterious being called the 'Queen of Crows' once came here, and the mysterious person who sent the message also mentioned the name 'Madam'. And as far as I know, the Raven Queen is not some kind of nature deity."

As if flipping through the documents, there was a rustling sound of paper flipping from Sai Li's side:
"There is even a lot of doubt about whether the Queen of the Raven is a god and whether she really exists. I have never heard of a church that worships the Queen of the Raven. It is impossible for a god to have no believers and a church. But if the mysterious If the man is really the pastor of the Raven Queen, it means that the Raven Queen does not have a church, but the scale is too small, and the actions are very secretive, and even our White Hands Association cannot collect more information."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is this Raven Queen?"

"The specific situation is not very clear. I analyzed that the Raven Queen may be a god of death. A blue goblin once went to the shadow plane to investigate and found some uncertain information, so I only know that she may exist in the shadow plane. Instead of living in the underworld like most gods of death."

The Shadow Plane is a special plane that is more difficult to enter than the Outer Domain. It is like a three-way zone sandwiched between the Underworld and the Yang World, like the shadow of the normal plane.

But it does exist, and there is a theory that the shadow powers come from the Shadow Plane.

This point has been proved as early as the ancient elves, but it is too unsuitable for living creatures to live there, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of no light. Except for the local shadow creatures, there is no life, so the ancient elves are not in the shadows. Plane colonization.

Since the Raven Queen is Death...

Don't feel like a nice guy?
