Chapter 622 Forest Sea Snowfield


    Amelia never thought that she would leave the blocked Neverwinter City under such circumstances.


    When she walked out of the door and turned to look at the snow-covered city in front of her, Emilia had the illusion of being exiled... They were the only investigation team allowed to leave Neverwinter. Indeed, although Ariel Beth''s statement was not wrong, but Emilia still felt as if she was kicked out of Neverwinter because she was in the way.


    “Okay, what are you sighing about? Let’s set off.”


    In contrast, Duanmuhuai didn''t care at all, and even urged her to get on the road quickly.


    “How to get to Heim Fortress? I’m waiting for you to lead the way.”


    "To be honest, Mr. Duanmu, I really think your idea is a bit exaggerated..."


    “After seeing those things, you still say that?”


    “It is true that we saw plague aberrations under the warehouse, but there is no evidence that these things are related to Deszel...”


    “Aren’t we looking for evidence now?”


    "Why………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s answer, Amelia sighed again. She didn''t know why Duanmu Huai was so hostile to Heim believers, even comparing them to cultists. Emilia rarely left Neverwinter before. She had only met the Helm cultists a few times and was not very familiar with them. But at least in Emilia''s opinion, they should not be the kind of people who would abandon their faith and gods.


    But Duanmuhuai said it as if Heim believers were like cockroaches...


    Logically speaking, Emilia could refuse Duanmuhuai''s request, but she still led the way to Helm Fortress. On the one hand, as a paladin who believes in Tyr, Emilia herself is not good at rejecting others, and she also hopes to get this matter settled as soon as possible. As long as there is no abnormality in the Helm Fortress, I believe Duanmu Huai will no longer pay attention to it. The power is concentrated on them.


    ?On the other hand, Emilia herself also found this thing strange.


    Although the final investigation was dropped because Ms. Irebes forcibly intervened, this was not Ms. Irebes''s usual style at all. In fact, Emilia herself admitted that she had feelings for Deszell deep down in her heart. Suspicious, and the actions of those Heim believers after entering the city are indeed suspicious in retrospect...


    It’s just that Emilia still doesn’t believe that Heim Fortress will fall. After all, Heim Fortress is a border fortress. If all Heim Fortresses fall, it means that the territory of Neverwinter City is almost on the verge of collapse-the situation should be It can''t be that bad, right?


    The cold winter in the North is naturally very difficult. Duanmuhuai strode in the snow with Ojis sitting on his shoulders. Emilia and Luo Qixi were behind using Duanmuhuai''s tall body to resist the roar. of wind and snow.


    ?Duanmuhuai and Amelia were both fine, but Luo Qixi couldn''t hold on as time went by.


    “Okay, it’s so cold, let’s find a place to hide!”


    "Aren''t you a mage? You should be in a mage''s mansion."


    “That’s a seventh-level spell, I’m just a fifth-level mage!”


    Luo Qixi stared at Duanmuhuai dissatisfiedly. If the iron shell on the other person''s body hadn''t looked so hard, she would have wanted to bite him. Ever since she graduated from the Magic Academy, she has never been looked down upon by anyone in the magical realm...


    “There is a cave over there, let’s go and have a look.”


    Amelia was also a little tired. She happened to see a cave not far away, so she hurriedly made a suggestion. Others did not object, so the group quickened their pace and arrived in front of the cave. However, just when they were about to enter the cave, suddenly...


    “Roar!”


    With a roar, a huge black bear suddenly poked its head out and glared at everyone. When they saw this tall black bear, Emilia and Luo Qixi were shocked.


    "Bear?!"


    “Ho-ho!”


    ??This bear was obviously hibernating here, and it was naturally very unhappy to be disturbed. It stared at Emilia and Luo Qixi viciously, and roared angrily.


    “Now, what now, what should I do?”


    ?Emilia drew out her sword, looked nervously at the black bear in front of her, and asked in a low voice, while Luo Qixi shook her head.


    “No, there’s no way, let’s go, we don’t have a druid, and there’s no way to communicate with it…”


    “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”


    ?At this moment, Duanmu Huai also came over. He just said a word lightly, then stepped over the two of them and walked towards the black bear.


    “Roar! Roar!!”


    ?Seeing Duanmuhuai''s appearance, the black bear became more and more nervous. Not only did it roar, it even stood up with its legs and raised its paws. However, even so, it only reached Duanmuhuai''s chest.


    Duanmuhuai just lowered his head and stared at the black bear who stood up.


    “Shut up and stay here, or I’ll take care of you!”


    As he spoke, Duanmuhuai clenched his fists, stared at the black bear, and then snorted!


    "go!"


    “Woo————!”


    The next moment, the black bear obediently changed back to its original state, then curled up into a ball and hid in the corner of the cave, trembling and silent, not even daring to look over here.


    “Okay, come in.”


    ?Duanmuhuai nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and said something to the two of them, before leading Ogis into the cave. Emilia and Luo Qixi looked at each other and followed helplessly.


    To be honest, they feel as if they are robbers who have taken over people''s houses...


    ?Although the process was a bit speechless, everyone finally found a shelter. Emilia lit a fire and started preparing food. Ogis took out a book, huddled in Duanmuhuai''s arms and started reading.


    ?Emilia and Luo Qixi were chatting quietly, while Duanmu Huai was closing his eyes to rest while thinking about the next plan of action.


    To be honest, this world is actually a big plus for Duanmuhuai, because this world is similar to the Greek mythological world that Duanmuhuai visited before, with a large number of gods. In other words, Duanmu Huai can completely copy what he did in that world here, kill the gods, and absorb divine power and priesthood for his own use. It’s just that in the game, no player has a priesthood, so the gods are NPCs to the players.


    Now for Duanmu Huai, the experience value of ordinary enemies is already very low, just like a level 100 player who kills a level 1 kobold can only get a little experience, although it is easy and convenient for you to kill a hundred kobolds. , but the upgrade efficiency is too poor.


    ?The gods are much better, and in this world, there are indeed cases of people trying to steal the priesthood and kill the gods. Although it is not common, it is not unheard of.


    As for the **** of gods, AO, Duanmu Huai is not a bird at all. If it is strangled to death, it is just a demon-level subspace psychic creature. If it wants to cause trouble for Duanmu Huai, Duanmu Huai will not be able to catch it without mercy.


    Although this world also uses terms such as "heaven", "main material plane" and "hell" to divide the various worlds, basically to put it bluntly, this is actually no different from the world where Duanmu Huai lives.


    Whether it is "heaven" or "hell", they all belong to the subspace plane, and the so-called "main material world" is the real world.


    This can be seen from the war between gods in this world. No matter who is good or evil, if you want to pray for the **** you believe in to come, you must sacrifice your life, and then the **** can send its incarnation saint to come to the main material plane. Help believers.


    ?The essence is actually to perform large-scale sacrifices with the followers of the evil god, and then weaken the boundary between reality and subspace so that the evil **** can send demons into the real world. This is all because the real world cannot tolerate the invasion of subspace creatures, so it must rely on the power of the soul to maintain its existence, otherwise it will be weakened and then expelled.


    ??Yes, this is like Emilia, as a paladin of Tire, sacrificing her own gods when fighting against the evil Lich King, and then summoning the saint of Tire to kill the Lich King.


    ?In Duanmu Huai''s eyes, this is actually the self-sacrifice of the evil god''s believer, and then the evil **** uses the power of her soul to travel through subspace and interfere with the real world.


    Same, same, same.


    There is no difference at all.


    Duanmu Huai has decided to find time to go to the **** battlefields of this world - the battles between **** and abyss there are very suitable for him. On the one hand, whether they are devils or devils, they are basically relatively strong subspace psychic creatures. , on the other hand, the devil generals and devil lords in **** and abyss are powerful enough to be Duanmu Huai''s prey.


    ?Of course, there is another aspect in the end. Bloody War can be regarded as a copycat version of the Evil God Space. Before the decisive battle with the real subspace Evil God, it is still necessary to accumulate some experience in similar areas.


    It is more difficult to go to Heaven Mountain to kill gods, but it is much easier to go to the abyss to kill demons...


    Of course Amelia didn''t know what treacherous thoughts were running in Duanmu Huai''s mind at the moment. She and Luo Qixi chatted aimlessly for a while, and then planned to take a rest - after all, it was already dark, and there were no entertainment activities in this world at night. ...Well, Duanmuhuai wanted to teach them how to experience it, but unfortunately the two of them would definitely refuse.


    “Hoot——!”


    However, at this moment, suddenly, the black bear that had been huddled in the corner of the cave suddenly stood up, let out a low roar, and stared out of the cave. Seeing the uncharacteristic behavior of the black bear, the two girls were also stunned for a moment.


    "What''s wrong?"


    “Hey? Did Mr. Duanmu scare it again?”


    “I don’t have one. Is there something outside?”


    Duanmuhuai glanced at the black bear. At this moment, the other side seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. Obviously, the black bear seemed to have sensed some danger.


    "Outside?"


    Emilia stretched out her hand to hold the hilt of the sword, came to the entrance of the cave, and looked around warily - there was silence in the dark forest.


    “There’s nothing?”


    “It doesn’t look like it.”


    Duanmuhuai glanced at the black bear again. If it looked like it was facing a powerful enemy before, now the black bear had already hid behind him, holding his head in his hands and shivering!


    “Luo Qixi, think of a way, aren’t you a mage?”


    “I am an evocation mage!”


    ??Luo Qixi emphasized the word "plastic energy" while looking out of the cave. Then she thought for a moment and raised her hand.


    “Light spell!”


    Soon, a ball of light emerged from Luo Qixi''s hand, flew out of the hole, and illuminated the surrounding area.


    Then, under the brilliance of an incandescent lamp, suddenly, the bushes not far away made a "swish" sound, as if something was approaching.


    oh? Is there really something?


    Duanmuhuai stood up with interest and looked outside. Emilia, who was at the entrance of the cave, also unsheathed her sword. Luo Qixi on the other side also tightened the staff in her hand. Only Ogis was still flipping through the book unhurriedly—even leaning closer to the fire.


    “Shuashua——”


    The bushes continued to shake, and after a moment, a dark shadow emerged from it.


    “Huh…it’s just a little deer.”


    ??Seeing the deer emerge from the light spell, Emilia breathed a sigh of relief at first, but at this moment, Duanmuhuai''s eyes narrowed.


    “No, that’s not an ordinary little animal, look carefully!”


    "Why?"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Emilia and Luo Qixi were stunned. At the same time, they saw that the deer not only did not run away, but walked straight towards them. As the deer approached, everyone I finally got a clear look at what it looked like!


    ??On this little deer, almost all the skin on its neck has fallen off, and you can even see white bones under the rotten meat! Half of the deer''s face was swollen like a balloon, and there was even yellow mucus inside. Not only that, if you look closely, you will find that in the right eye of the deer, there is a huge, as if it has been eaten out, a hollow, and a sticky tentacle covered with raised chickenpox-like tentacles stretches out from it. Live and squirm!


    “This, what is this!”


    Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
