Witch Forest Friends Club

"what sound?"

"Damn it, there's a flood ahead! The secret road is about to be flooded." Goliath, who was clearing the way ahead, turned around and shouted.

The torrent, which was more turbulent than the stagnant water seeping into the big hole, instantly turned into a roaring water snake and swallowed everyone into its filthy belly.

"Be careful, there are still monsters biting people in the water!" Gloria slammed the axe, and slashed at the monster black-shelled fish that jumped out of the water and opened its mouth to bite her. Fortunately, the barbarian was smart enough to rely on brute force without discharging. Chopped off the monster fish's ferocious thorny head.

"Avril, it's up to you!" An Jiaye decisively manipulated the fungal appendage, turned it into a rope, and wrapped it around Miss Mermaid's waist. "Everyone, don't disperse!"

The rest of her fungal appendages continued to roll onto the companions around her, taking everyone including Gloria, Ryan, and Ms. Mockingbird.They were all strung together into human chains like pearl chains—the moment the human chains were formed, the secret passage they were in was almost filled with floods—at least they were not washed away immediately because of the fixation of the fungal appendages.

"Hurry up, Avril, I can't hold on anymore." Anjaye yelled in vain in the slime armor that was violently shaken by the water waves.

"Slime Aquatic Armor, ready to inflate!" accompanied by Avril's witchcraft.

The slime armor enveloping everyone swelled violently again, forming a hollow transparent ball that enclosed them.

"Catch it!"

Avril flicked the mermaid tail blazing with the light of iridescent magic essence, ignoring the crushing impact of the water and moving forward!

"Mosu Accelerated Trajectory Guidance, Moonlight Track!"

The witch-curse shell floating in front of Miss Mermaid condensed a moonlight beam like a searchlight, pointing to the direction her eyes were looking at.

The chain formed by all the people was dragged by Miss Mermaid in this way, and continued to head towards the unknown exit in the secret passage that was submerged in the lake and dimmed even the light of the starstone.

"Moonlight Torrent, attack!"

Accompanied by Miss Mermaid's fully strengthened water-calling spell—the torrent of magic essence ejected from the tail helps her swim quickly along the silver-white beam of light illuminated by the shell, like a beam of bright moonlight penetrating all waves, swimming against the stormy ocean current. Up the tide!

The group of water beasts who were rushed into the secret passage by the lake water and chased and bit them along the way were all thrown far behind by Aweier.

Miss Mermaid flexibly avoided all obstacles blocking the way such as gravel, corpses and monsters along the way, fully demonstrating the advantages of the native race of the ocean—and the flexible spherical shell of the slime armor helped Anjaye and the others Bounce off all the crap hits.

Anjaye quickly discovered the source of the flood on the way—it was a giant tunnel that collapsed above the secret passage, as if some monster of outrageous size dug out a large hole for easy movement, and finally introduced lake water to flood the secret passage.

"It must be that lunatic who is addicted to magic." An Jiaye turned his head and looked up at the big pit that the lake was pouring into. "He became so big that he couldn't even fill the secret passage, so he dug out from here and connected to the bottom of the cold lake."

"Finally out!"

Avril patted her iridescent and colorful tail, jumped out of the water in a gorgeous posture, and fell back into the waves again.

The hollow slime ball that everyone was in was also dragged out of the water by her, floating like a bunch of large spherical fish floats to the water surface at the exit of the secret passage.

Anjaye hurriedly looked around and found a large vertical void.

In front of them was a large stone and wooden platform—an ancient and sturdy stone lift was installed on the platform, and the spectacular metal lifting track directly connected to the ground above the hollow.

"Hurry up, or the elevator will be flooded!"

Anjaye and her companions climbed onto the big platform together. The girl quickly found the control panel connected to the elevator track, and urgently activated the switch marked with the ancient Nawen.

The starstone rune array at the base of the elevator quickly absorbed the energy of the earth veins, and was soon filled with shining magic light, and finally activated before it was completely submerged by the flood.

Aviel waved the shell-carving staff, and the slime aquatic armor wrapped on everyone's body was also released from the armor state, and returned to a translucent and cute jellyfish-like jelly, bouncing around the mermaid master to beg for food .

"It's such a big elevator, it's probably a project left by the Antonine Dynasty." Gloria sat down on the rumbling stone slab, looking around at the magnificent scene of the magnificent ascent, "I have to admit that civilized people can sometimes Invent all kinds of powerful things."

Anjaye looked at the water surface that got rid of below, and he couldn't help but responded with a sigh of relief.

"The heyday of the Ancient Fana Empire was the time when alchemy and natural philosophy were flourishing. The large army they were proud of not only had the highest combat power and military system at that time in Vinland, but also had alchemists and civil engineers. The mage followed the army and was proficient in the construction of engineering systems-the kingdom established by the Anthony Dynasty as a descendant of the expeditionary army naturally followed the old system of the Fana Empire. Today, the peninsula is still full of forts and road networks left over from the expeditionary period. The arrival of the age of fog has destroyed all the gifts that Fana left to the peninsula."

Gloria gritted her teeth and smiled for a while, squinting at Ryan who was looking up into the sky, "I heard that there are still a few rebuilt fortresses and Gucci Roads, which are in Oga's hands and cost a lot of money to maintain every year."

The elevator quickly arrived at the tiankeng where the top was located, and came to a stop amid slight vibrations.Set foot on the surface again.

"Go up from here." Anjaye greeted his companions, and climbed up to the exit of the elevator - the steel ladder connecting the sinkhole and a cliff.

Climbing with the power of fungal appendages, Anjaye quickly reached the top of the cliff.

The vision exposed in front of the girl was deep and wide—there were stars shining in the mist under the night sky, and the dense fog here seemed to dissipate a lot compared to yesterday when looking from the opposite bank.

"It feels so good to leave the ground." Mielsa also jumped out of Anjaye's arms and turned back into a white-haired little witch. She stretched her waist and straightened her clothes and hair, sighing softly, "Like me My lady, I don’t want to go to the sewer again in this life.”

An Jiaye came to the edge of the cliff where the cold wind was whistling, and in front of him was the vast and undulating waves of the cold lake. From here, the girl could see the gloomy silhouette of Shuangcheng Harbor on the opposite bank, which was solidified under the shroud of lights.I don't know if the raging war at the bottom of Anland Mountain has disturbed the sleep of this ancient city.

Black Swan Island has arrived.

"Look, there is a boat on the shore." Gloria pointed sharply at the stretch of sandy beach on the other side of the cliff.

It was a muddy beach full of shipwrecks, and there were even living corpses and skeletons wandering in a daze. However, in this keel grave, there was clearly a complete sail shadow moored.

Everyone jumped off the cliff at an accelerated speed, and when they rushed to the front of the boat on the beach, they found that there was still a dragging rut between the sailboat and the land in front of the beach.

"It's a scooter. Judging from the footprints, it's a knight wearing heavy armor with great skill. The other footprint is a lady with a light figure." Goliath squatted down to observe the traces, and looked up at An Jiaye with a sharp expression. smile.

"Did you guess who it was?"

An Jiaye understood, and turned his head to look at the direction where the footprints extended—the mountain forest that faintly exposed the top of the mage's tower.

The night crows inhabiting the island are screaming in panic and jumping over the dark misty woods, as if driven by a terrifying omen, they fled to the sky outside the island in all directions—their wings and cries driven by terror , tearing apart the originally dead and desolate night.

"At this point in time, could it be Fanna?"

Chapter 110: The Mystery of the Black Swan; A Witch Full of Determination, Attacking the Sea of ​​Fog

The mist suddenly rises, and the reason for the disaster, maybe I put my love on the fungi, just appreciate their detached growth posture without knowing the fate of the world, but in this detachment, they are closely related to all things. ——"Ankaye's Chat Notes"

The man in black put down the fluent and simple sheepskin scroll in his hand, and the rough knuckles of the hand holding the pen illuminated by the warm candlelight, clenched into an indestructible fist in the silence of reading the results of his half-life.

Even though his eyes no longer need the reflection of light, he can still feel the traces of pen and ink on the paper-but in the junction of light and dark, the way of recognizing the appearance of things has its own balance that he recognizes.

"Can the habits I have developed as a human being constrain the fact that I am a monster?"

In a calm self-mockery, he closed the parchment scroll, leaned tiredly on the back of the rattan chair, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and then the pen tube in his hand broke.

The man in black suddenly got up and left the desk. With a tall and majestic body, he took big strides, pushed open the wooden door and came to the rooftop. In front of him was the edge of the tower, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the mountains and forests under the night sky.

Leaning on the railing outside the tower, he scanned the black swan island below where the fog and shadow barriers were quietly scattered.

Standing on the top of the windy mage's tower, above his head is a faint blue light like ice flowers spilling out - the light of a lighthouse is lit up tonight, like the cold lake itself, witnessing the century-old loneliness with smoky clouds.

The man in black stretched out his ink-stained right hand, gently rubbing the rough and hard fingertips.

"Even the hard calluses on your fingers are completely different from when you practiced swords before. Have so many years passed in a blink of an eye?"

He then looked up and laughed.

"Did you see it? Bitch, the Lenghu collar you abandoned has become like this."

"In the past, this mage's tower was detached from the world, ignoring the impact of natural wind and rain and the common government. Instead, in the final betrayal and entanglement, it became the vortex center of Cold Lake's history, tabooed by shepherds and flocks—and Now, the same will be in my hands, and it will become a stage for igniting disputes."

When the familiar ethereal female singing came across the waves of the lake, causing the enchantment covering the island to be dispelled, he felt it—there was a huge monster who lost himself, crawling and landing under the cover of night; His despicable soul is eagerly waiting under the tower to receive the reward.

And the enemies who made him the chief culprit, and his dear children, who aimed at this tower, had come.

"Very good, let me see how many people are attracted by the vortex of the cold lake." He sneered defiantly, and the mage robe on his body was swaying endlessly like a raised battle flag under the impact of the turbulent miasma.

This long-lost excitement can only be felt in his long-forgotten military career, and it is really uncomfortable to ignite it again in his body after a long life.

The man in black raised his hand and lifted off the hood covering his head, revealing an old face with a thick beard.

The years have erased the sharpness of the heroic silhouette and the serious character in the eyes when he was young, and replaced him with a calmness that ignores all changes like the big lake in front of him.

Storms and undercurrents are accumulating in this calm man's eyebrows and wrinkles, waiting for the moment to devour all beings on the shore.

"I have walked this long road, how many years."

The old man talked nervously to himself.

"I have risen from the ridiculous disgrace that the wretch who was ridiculed by the world is dead, and the vulgar beings have long since forgotten my name."

"It's time for them to learn from me!"

That's right, he used to be just an insect crawling in the mortal world, no matter how powerful he was among the ants, he was just a stronger ants.

Only by climbing out of the ant pit and becoming a monster that devours the world can we see the extraordinary scenery.

"But the hope that fate bestowed on me after playing with me wantonly is the source of the pain now."

Already penniless and lonely, he gave all his life's precious wealth in exchange for—but he still couldn't touch what he wanted.

Until encountering the opportunity to achieve the "Apocalypse"——

"Well done, Ouroboros." In the intimate whisper, the dark mist quietly condensed, as if turning into a slippery and vicious snake, crawling around his neck. "The poisonous fire of rebellion in your heart is burning more and more vigorously. I expect you to burn the cold lake dry."

The snake's murmur is deadly alluring.

"Let the lord of the soul see more precious soul brilliance. After all, we, like the snake biting its tail, have created a cycle of earthly history in the process of destruction and rebirth, which is worthy of his remembering and reshaping appearance."

"Don't confuse me with you. I just can face my own insignificance and patheticness calmly, and go all out to make a deal with the devil."

The old man with the name "Uroboros" said coldly: "But you, trying to steal the power of the 'Sleeping Witch', aren't you afraid that 'Rosella' will wake up from her sleep and destroy the layout of the capital?"

"She and Stella are too arrogant, and I know the poison of arrogance is so powerful that I can unknowingly sink all of you big men, don't you?" Snake's smug laughter made people irritated.

"It's a pity that Kardashian also died under her own arrogance. I should thank her for letting me see the secret of the great witch who guards the royal capital 'Aronda', and I can take advantage of it."

"As long as I win the treasure of Mirage Peninsula and dedicate it to my lord, Stella will not escape the fate of falling. This world will be turned into the food of a big snake, reshaped into a shape suitable for us to laugh, and you You can see the face of true knowledge and gain immortality comparable to that of a god!"

"Don't let me down, Uroboros. Go challenge your destiny and please the master."

The Mist Snake, who was spitting out tongues in his ears, receded and dissipated, and the bewitching words still echoed in his heart. Even if he dismissed it, the old man knew that he had been poisoned a long time ago.

"Hehe, eternal life, comparable to gods. Who would believe your dream, I just need to sit in my own boat and struggle to the last moment in the vortex of Dayuan."

Even if he is poisoned, he is still qualified to cross the abyss in arrogance, after all, this is the privilege of the truly strong.

The old man turned his head and stepped on the spiral staircase hanging by the side of the tower, climbed up the stairs, and came to the light room on the top of the tower where the blue and cold light bloomed.

His strong and steady body, unlike that of a spellcaster, submerged into the dim enchantment of magic element—in the bone-biting cold air rushing towards him, he guarded a lifelike stone statue of a woman.

It was a strange gray-black stone statue with gorgeous curves—the girl curled up and prayed with her hands together, as if she wanted to return to the posture when she was hatching in an egg.

The lower body of the stone statue was imprisoned in the melting ice, and the swan-like feathers and delicate wings seemed to maintain the appearance of struggling to raise before death-compared to the popular "Apocalypse" high-ranking members. The shoddy stone statues are far more beautiful and exquisite, as if sealing a living beauty, in the long etching of smoke and cloud changes, they have become fossils remembered by the years.

"Come on, everyone." He raised his hands towards the stone statue of the girl, as if announcing to the guests invited to the island, "Cheer for Tristi's return!"

A fluctuating and pervasive cold mist diffused from the ice layer of the stone statue of the girl, like tentacles that fluctuated, gushing out of the light room—expansion and winding around the entire mage tower.

"Poor Princess Lenghu."

"The resentment of the past 200 years, the forgotten truth, there must be a lot of resentment and resentment waiting to be vented."

"I understand you—that's why I will tell your nightmare to reality and help you kick off the prelude to revenge!"

The stone statue's closed eye sockets opened in an instant, leaving shocking tears of bright blood slowly.

Where the tear streaks passed, the hard shell on the stone statue's face, as solid as amber, shattered, peeling off the original compassionate and soft face, and turning it into a hideous face tortured by the poison of despair.

"Before the tide of fate overthrows everything, let the soul that buried the past at the bottom of the cold lake, shed tears and regrets, usher in a new life!"

------------

The Black Swan Island that Anjaye and his party arrived at is gradually revealing to them that it is a forbidden area of ​​the Lenghu Territory.

On the river beach on the south side, which can be called the graveyard of the keel, there are skeletons and living corpses wandering around roaring and wandering around. Terrible ending.

After they sensed the undisguised movement of the living, their already decayed brains lit up with bloodthirsty and thirsty will-o’-the-wisps—stumbled and gathered in groups, but licked the black flame flowers thrown by Elsa lightly. In the process, howled and turned into fly ash, liberating many cursed dead souls.

"Little Lettuce, what's the matter?"

As soon as he climbed onto the sailboat moored in the shallows, Anjaye noticed the restlessness of the vegetable spirit in his pocket.

The petite elf with thin thumbs slipped off the girl's body, ran to the corner of the bow in a hurry, and circled around an inconspicuous object, chirping with an anxious expression.

"Are these the shoes of little Krapussy?" Anjaye saw that they were a pair of small plain sheepskin shoes, which were wet and were taken off in the shadow of the deck.

"Xiao An, come and see!" Gloria also greeted from a distance on the shore, "I found very shallow footprints, which belonged to a little girl."

Anjaye's heartstrings twitched in horror, and he understood the reason for Little Rapunzel's panic.

"Crapsey is also with Fanna and the others?"

This will happen—there is only one possibility, the ghost possessed by Krapusey is related to Fanna.

And who that thing is is naturally self-evident.

Anjaye remembered that when he first came to Cold Lake Station, he asked Arvil about the information about the island—and when he communicated with Fanna last night, the heir of the Marshall family, facing the Black Swan Island related to the life and death of his stepmother, seemed to be A gesture of determination.

The secret of the lord of Cold Lake, the "Eclipse" witch who died in the academy, and the conspiracy of "Apocalypse"—multiple clues are intertwined on this island, turning into a mystery that is weirder and deeper than thick fog. Disturbing the girl's desperate desire to maintain a rational mind.

The only thing that can be confirmed at present is the secret hidden on the island. If you don't let it go, it will become a powder keg that detonates a major disaster in the cold lake. You must treat it with caution and make good use of all power.
