Chapter 622 Lin Hai Xueyuan
Emilia never expected that she would leave the blocked Wudong City under this situation.
When she walked out of the door and turned to look at the city covered with wind and snow in front of her, Emilia had the illusion of being exiled... They were the only investigation team allowed to leave Wu Winter City. Indeed, although Erbis'' statement was not wrong, Emilia still felt like she was driven out of Wu Winter City because she was in the way.
"Okay, what are you sighing? Let''s go."
In contrast, Duanmu Huai didn''t care at all and even urged her to get on the road as soon as possible.
"How to get to Heim Fortress? I''ll wait for you to lead the way."
"To be honest, Mr. Duanmu, I really think your thoughts are a bit too exaggerated..."
"After seeing those things, do you still say that?"
"Indeed, we saw the aberrant variants under the warehouse, but there is no evidence that these things are related to Deszel..."
"Aren''t we just going to find evidence now?"
"Why………"
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, Emilia sighed again. She didn''t know why Duanmuhuai was so hostile to the Heim believers, even compared them with the cultists. Emilia rarely left Wudong City before, and she had only met Heimers 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 will turn their faith and gods.
But Duanmu Huai said it as if the Heim believers were like cockroaches...
Logically speaking, Emilia could have completely rejected Duanmuhuai''s request, but she still led the way to Heim Fortress. On the one hand, as a Paladin who believes in Tel, Emilia herself is not good at rejecting others, and she also hopes to get this done as soon as possible. As long as there is no abnormality in the Heim Fortress, I believe Duanmu Huai will no longer focus on them.
On the other hand, Emilia herself also thinks this matter is strange.
Although the final investigation incident was left unresolved because Ms. Aribes forced to intervene, this was not Ms. Aribes'' usual style at all. In fact, Emilia herself admitted that she had some doubts about Deszel deep in her heart, and the actions of those Heim believers after entering the city are indeed suspicious in her eyes...
But Emilia still doesn''t believe that Heim Fortress will fall. After all, Heim Fortress is a border fortress. If Heim Fortress falls, it means that Wu Winter City''s territory has almost reached the brink of collapse - the situation shouldn''t be so bad, right?
The cold winter in the north is naturally very difficult. Duanmuhuai walked in the snow with great strides, Aojis sat on his shoulders, and Emilia and Lokishi were behind him with Duanmuhuai''s tall body to resist the whistling wind and snow.
Duanmuhuai and Emilia were both fine, but Luo Qixi couldn''t hold on after a long time.
"Okay, it''s so cold, let''s find a place to hide!"
"Aren''t you a mage? You should know the mage mansion."
"That''s the Seventh Ring Spell, I''m just a Fifth Ring Mage!"
Luo Qixi stared at Duanmu Huai in dissatisfaction. If the iron shell on the other party hadn''t looked very hard, she would have wanted to go up and bite the other party. Since she graduated from the Magic Academy, she has never been looked down upon in the magical level...
"There is a cave over there, let''s go and take a look."
Emilia was also a little tired. She happened to see a cave not far away, so she hurriedly asked for it. The others did not object, so the group speeded up and came to the cave. However, just as they were about to enter the cave, they suddenly...
"Roar!"
With a roar, a huge black bear suddenly poked his head out from inside and glared at everyone. When Emilia and Lokishi were shocked when they saw this tall black bear.
"Bear?!"
“Roar—Roar!”
The bear was obviously hibernating here, so he was naturally very unhappy to be disturbed by others. He stared at Emilia and Lokishi fiercely, and let out an angry roar.
"Now, what should I do now?"
Emilia pulled out her long sword, looked at the black bear in front of her nervously, and asked in a low voice, while Lokishi shook her head.
"No, there''s no way, let''s go, we don''t have druids, and we can''t communicate with it..."
"Don''t worry, leave it to me."
At this moment, Duanmu Huai also came over. He just said something lightly, then crossed 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 roared and raised its claws - but even so, it only reached Duanmuhuai''s chest.
Duanmu Huai lowered his head and stared at the black bear standing up.
"Shut up and stay there, otherwise I''ll be careful of getting rid of it!"
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists, stared at the black bear, and then snorted coldly!
"go!"
“Woo———!”
The next moment, the black bear was obediently transformed back into a ball, then curled up and hid in the corner of the cave, trembling without saying a word, and didn''t even dare to look at this side.
"Okay, come in."
Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and said to the two of them, then took Ojisi into the cave. Emilia and Lokihi looked at each other and could only follow in helplessly.
To be honest, they feel like they are robbers who have occupied the house...
Although the process was a bit speechless, everyone still found a place to live. Emilia set a fire and then began to prepare food. Ojisi took out a book, hugged it in Duanmu Huai''s arms and started reading it.
Emilia and Luo Qixi were chatting in a low voice, while Duanmu Huai was closing her eyes to rest, while thinking about the next action plan.
To be honest, this world is actually a great benefit for Duanmuhuai, because this world is similar to the Greek mythical world that Duanmuhuai has been to before, and there are a large number of gods. In other words, Duanmu Huai can completely copy his practice in that world here, kill the gods, and absorb divine power and priesthood for his own use. But in the game, no player has a clergy, so gods are NPCs for players.
Now for Duanmuhuai, ordinary enemies have very low experience, just like a level 100 player who can only get a little experience when killing a level 1 kobold. Although it is simple and convenient for you to kill a hundred kobolds, the upgrade efficiency is too poor.
Gods are much better, and in this world, there are indeed cases of robbing priests and killing gods. Although it is not common, it is not without them.
As for the **** AO, Duanmu Huai is not even a bird. If he dies, he is just a big demon-level subspace psychic creature. If it wants to trouble Duanmu Huai, Duanmu Huai will not surrender.
Although this world also uses nouns such as "celestial realm", "main material plane" and "hell" to divide the world, basically to put it bluntly, this is actually no different from the world where Duanmu Huai is.
Whether it is the "celestial realm" or the "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 of gods in this world. No matter which side is good or evil, if you want to pray for the arrival of the gods you believe in, you must sacrifice your own life, and then the gods can send their incarnation saints to the main material plane to help believers.
Its essence is actually to make large-scale sacrifices with the believers of the evil gods, and then weaken the marginal boundaries between reality and subspace, so that the evil gods can send demons into the real world. It 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 existence, otherwise it will be weakened and expelled.
That''s right, it''s like Emilia, as a Paladin of Tyre, sacrificed her **** in confrontation with the evil Lich King, and then summoned the Saint of Tyre to kill the Lich King.
In Duanmu Huai''s eyes, this is actually a self-sacrifice by the evil **** believers, and then the evil **** uses her soul power to travel through the sub-space to interfere with the real world.
Same and the same.
There is no difference at all.
Duanmu Huai has decided to find time to go to the **** battle battlefield in this world - the battle between **** and abyss there is very suitable for him. On the one hand, both the devil and the demon are basically relatively strong subspace psychic creatures. On the other hand, the devil generals and demon lords of **** and the abyss are very powerful, enough to be Duanmu Huai''s prey.
Of course, there is another aspect in the end. Bloody battles can be regarded as a copycat version of the evil **** space. Before the decisive battle with the real evil gods in the sub-space, it is still necessary to accumulate some experience in similar regions.
It is more difficult to kill gods in Heavenly Mountain, but it is much easier to kill demons in the abyss...
Of course, Emilia didn''t know what a traitorous thought was in Duanmu Huai''s mind at this moment. She and Luo Qixi chatted aimlessly for a while, and then planned to rest - after all, it was already dark, and there was no entertainment in this world at night... Well, Duanmu Huai wanted to teach them how to experience it, but unfortunately the two of them would definitely refuse.
"Roar——!"
However, at this moment, suddenly, the black bear, who was originally curled up in the corner of the cave, suddenly stood up, let out a low roar, and stared at the outside of the cave. Seeing the black bear''s abnormal movements, the two girls were also stunned.
"What''s wrong?"
"Hey? Did Mr. Duanmu scare it again?"
"I didn''t. Is there anything outside?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at the black bear. At this moment, the other party seemed to be facing a great enemy. Obviously, the black bear seemed to have noticed some danger.
"Outside?"
Emilia reached out to hold the hilt of the sword, came to the entrance of the cave, and looked around vigilantly - in the dim forest, there was silence.
"Nothing?"
“It doesn’t look like it.”
Duanmu Huai glanced at the black bear again. If it was still as if it was facing a great enemy before, then the black bear had already hid behind him, hugging his head with both hands and trembling!
"Loqixi, think of a solution, aren''t you a mage?"
"I am a magician in the Department of Energy!"
While she emphasized the word "power" vigorously, Lokixi looked out the hole. Then she thought for a moment and raised her hand.
“Lighting Technique!”
Soon, a ball of light emerged from Luo Qixi''s hand and flew out of the hole, illuminating the surroundings.
Then, under the light like an incandescent lamp, suddenly, the bushes not far away made a "swish" sound, as if something was approaching.
oh? Is there really something?
Duanmu Huai stood up with interest and looked outside. At this moment, Emilia at the entrance of the cave also drew her sword and unsheathed it, and Luo Qixi on the other side also held the staff in her hand tightly. Only Aojis was still flipping through the book slowly—even closer to the fire.
"Swish--"
The bushes continued to sway, and after a moment, a dark shadow emerged from it.
"Huh...it''s just a deer."
Emilia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the deer crawling under the light technique, but Duanmu Huai''s eyes were condensed at this moment.
"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, the deer not only did not run away, but walked straight towards them. As the deer approached, everyone finally saw its appearance clearly!
I saw that the skin on the deer''s neck had almost fallen, and even the white bones could be seen under the rotten rotten flesh! And 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 also find that at the right eye of the deer, there is a huge hole that seems to have been eaten up, a sticky tentacle covered with chickenpox-like protruding out of it, and is constantly squirming!
"This, what''s this!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
