In a small village with only a few hundred people, the banquet held lasted until midnight. The food and wine seemed to grow out of the ground and were served on the long table. Later, Hao Ren even began to doubt whether the banquet would be possible. It will go on like this forever, like a time flow that turns round like a wheel, but the banquet is finally over, when Lily is already snoring with her rice bowl in her arms.
The banquet was over, but the villagers gathered in the square seemed to be immersed in the endless celebration. The young men and women began to dance an ancient dance around the bonfire, while others were making loud noises, drinking the remaining Fine wine, these villagers who seemed numb and vulgar during the day seem to have acquired some kind of spiritual power at night, making them look extra... Vivid, that is, vivid, the most suitable word that Hao Ren thought of was it.
Catherine and the Wang brothers have participated in the villagers' follow-up celebrations without any barriers, and Pierre was not exempt. He was dragged by two village girls to the bonfire. In this enjoyment. However, Hao Ren and his party politely declined the invitation of the old village head and other villagers. They asked to go back to the longhouse to rest on the grounds that they were exhausted from the long journey. After some negotiation, this request was granted.
There is a distance between the longhouse and the central square, but the noise from the square can still be clearly transmitted to the longhouse. The first thing Hao Ren and his party did after they came back was to check their own physical conditions. In addition to self-awareness, they also let the data terminal conduct a comprehensive scan of everyone.
"The situation is normal," the data terminal said after checking Hao Ren's body for the last time. "The food you ate did have some kind of strange magical reaction, it seems to be something produced by magic power, but for your physique The effects of these magics are negligible."
"... This heartless bastard can eat at least six people's meals." Hao Ren covered his forehead and glanced at Lily who was sleeping soundly on the low bed next to him. "She's not worried at all."
Lily's strong and tenacious biological clock is at work, and she is currently in a state of being stunned by lightning. After eating, the husky girl fell asleep in a ball, and did not respond to Hao Ren's evaluation.
"There is nothing in the world that can stop a husky from stuffing food into its mouth, except for the pile of 'Emperor's Exclamation' you brought back last time." Vivian gave Hao Ren a sideways glance, "What do you think of this place? ?Could it be that Hercules arranged some powerful secret realm blockade here in order to avoid the demon hunter's eyeliner?"
Hao Ren shook his head: "I can't see any clues yet, I can only confirm that the atmosphere in the village is very strange, but I guess we will find out the reason soon, that Pierre is obviously still..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of footsteps from outside, followed by a few knocks on the door, and Pierre's voice sounded: "Aren't you all resting yet?"
Hesperis got up to open the door, and Vivienne threw a little bat out of the window, then nodded, "He came alone, and he seems to have left the villagers behind."
After Pierre entered the room, Hao Ren poured him a glass of water: "I thought you couldn't escape."
At this time, Pierre was completely different from the previous performance at the banquet. He swept away the calm and comfortable appearance before, and replaced it with a serious and worried face. He took the oak water glass handed over by Hao Ren, After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't drink: "I'd better not touch these things again. This is a cursed place."
"We know there's something wrong with this place," Hesperis said casually, leaning against the door, "but what about the curse?"
"This is..." Pierre looked curiously at Hao Ren and Vivian, and pointed to Hesperis and Lily who was snoring, "They are also from 'your side'? Can I have Do you know their identities first?"
Sure enough, the curiosity of the detective in the spirit world would never weaken under any circumstances.
"Oh, you almost saw them last time." Hao Ren didn't mind, pointing to the two partners and introduced, "This is a descendant of Olympus, whose real name is Hesperis. You have to study it The mythology should know who she is. The one who is sleeping... well, she is the overlord of the northern snow field, known as the low-profile version of Fenrir... "
Vivian couldn't understand Hao Ren's choice of words and sentences: "You say that a demon hunter, the first emperor, is better than a low-profile Fenrir."
Hao Ren curled his lips: "Nevermind, when I mention the late emperor, I can't help but think of the middle way... although she was indeed collapsed back then."
Pierre didn't know what Hao Ren and Vivienne were muttering about. When he heard the name of Hesperis, he immediately became energetic. At this moment, he stared blankly at the legendary "Goddess of Twilight", the expression on her face is 100% looking at the walking ancient fossils: "Descendants of Olympus?! My God! It's worth it for me to be trapped here!"
"Okay, okay, don't mention that year, I'm sad," Hesperis waved his hand vigorously, "You still tell me what happened to the curse you just mentioned, you were really trapped here?"
Speaking of this matter, Pierre calmed down for a moment. He first asked Hao Ren and his party about their mental state: "Do you feel anything unusual now? Do you still want to leave here? Can you still remember how you came here?" Did you come here?"
Hao Ren reassured the other party: "Don't worry, our resistance is high. At least the current erosion of magic power has no effect on us. You mean the food before? It doesn't affect us."
"It's not just food," Pierre said with a serious expression. "Since you stepped into this place, this cursed land has already prevented you from leaving. The so-called curse is just like that. You must find a way to leave here immediately. The outside may be able to lift the curse here. If it takes too long, I'm afraid that even you will be affected... Uh... "
Pierre couldn't continue talking. He remembered that the group of people in front of him were genuine supernatural creatures, and they truly belonged to "that world". "Magical Creature", he felt that his words were a bit presumptuous.
Of course Hao Ren didn't care about this, and he was very grateful for Pierre's kind reminder, but he was also very confident: "Don't worry, we know what we are capable of, and I have taken care of even more dangerous places."
In fact, he wanted to say that he had bombed all the more dangerous places. After thinking about it, he felt that this was simply being brought into the ditch by the Queen of Dragons, and he had unknowingly accepted the setting of Bomb Ren, so he quickly said this sentence Swallowed it back.
Pierre breathed out: "Of course it's best. I don't know how many people have been swallowed up in this cursed place. If you didn't show up, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on."
"How long have you been stuck here?" Hao Ren looked at Pierre's clothes, "Look at your state... time won't be short."
Vivian also added: "There are three other people, are they not in your same wave? Do you know their situation?"
"Here, the decay of things cannot be used as a time reference." Pierre looked at his outfit, "Some things can last longer, and some things will decay at a faster rate than the outside world, without any rules. I've been stuck in these two months, and those two Chinese surnamed Wang seem to have come here a year ago, as for that Catherine... "
Pierre paused, frowning: "I have talked to her, but she has been completely captured by this land, all her mind has been distorted, and sometimes she even thinks that she is a native of this village. .I only once heard a topic related to the outside world from her mouth, and she thought the current president of the United States was George W. Bush."
Hao Ren and Vivienne looked at each other, and Hesperis said leisurely, "That was really many years ago."
"Obviously, being trapped here will cause the passage of personal time to become weird. Catherine always feels that she has only been here for a few days," Pierre shrugged, "In fact, if I hadn't been taking potions , I have long since lost myself.”
"Why did you come here?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"In order to find the secrets of ancient times, otherwise?" Pierre smiled wryly, "Spiritual detectives are scavengers who follow the fragments of historical fragments around. I saw this place in some broken ancient books. Some ancient families The descendants called this place the cursed place, so I came here to see if there were any relics that could be unearthed, but I almost put myself in it. Hey, I was seriously injured by evil spirits last year when I was looking for a tower of the secret realm However, I just recovered two months ago, but I didn't expect to encounter such a place again."
Vivienne looked at Pierre for a while, then suddenly patted the latter on the shoulder: "Young man, listen to my advice, you are not suitable for this job—you are naturally good at getting yourself involved in all kinds of fatal incidents."
Pierre: "..." (to be continued~^~)
