The alpha wolf's insistence on heading to the ominous land tainted by chaos sparked a dispute among the mixed team behind her.
This kind of internal dispute is not surprising: the team accompanying her came from three factions, including the Knights of Black Rook Fortress. We still have to go to the White City to establish a contact line; the second force is the sanctuary investigation team brought by Calassius. Their purpose is to cross the Kingdom of Talos to find the Casuan Temple in the middle of the barren wilderness. It just happened to be with the wolf on the way That's all; the third force is the personal guard composed of fierce monsters such as demon wolves, giant monsters, and fur monsters. The army of the beast tide has already stayed on the southern border. Lily has selected a group of guys who are good at fighting to follow her as dog legs Yibo is a diehard loyalist of the alpha wolf, and basically supports everything the alpha wolf announces unconditionally.
If the three parties were just on their way, they would still work together, but at this time, conflicts emerged.
The leader of the Knights of the Black Crow is a female knight with dark complexion and red hair, named Tridis. Female knight commanders are rare in Black Rook Fortress, but no one dares to underestimate this expert The tall and slender sister Yu who wields two giant swords and is born with great strength, she was the first to stand up against the head wolf's opinion: "The tearing point of chaos is very dangerous, head wolf, you don't understand this thing, the inside of it is far stronger than the outside. It looks weird, we don't need to waste time here. We must go to Baicheng as soon as possible, this is the top priority."
Calassius also made an opinion afterwards: "The tearing point of chaos is not a rare thing, wolf, you can see more tearing points that are more spectacular than here in Talos. Feel free to explore."
He was more or less familiar with Lily, at this moment he thought she was going to explore the purple-black mist out of curiosity.
The magic wolves in the Beast Guard started howling and screaming, and they all agreed that the wolf was right, the human type was BB.
Lily circled around twice, shrugged her nose, and pointed stubbornly at the hillock ahead: "No, my nose is fine. I just smelled a familiar smell here. Maybe the landlord is right in front!"
Calassius and Tridis looked at each other. They knew that the wolf's sense of smell was far superior to that of a human. If it was true what the wolf said... then no one would be able to stop her from going to the tear point to find out.
Everyone knew that the only reason the wolf headed to Baicheng was to find her "landlord".
"Choose yourselves," Lily said with her hands on her hips, looking at the two groups of humans in front of her, "I'm going in anyway to see the situation, but you can leave—after all, you are not my subordinates, so there is no need to follow me to take risks. .”
Calassius frowned, and his eyes swept over his team members—the sanctuary fighters had rested in Black Rook Fortress, and now their mental and physical strength have fully recovered, but they are still wearing those tattered church uniforms, The glorious investigation team in the past now looks like a wandering army.
Facing the eyes of the high-ranking monks, the knights and monks of the Holy See straightened their chests, and no one flinched.
"Fighting against chaos is our mission. No matter where we are, we cannot escape facing chaos, but the mission is equally important..." Calassius said, raising his hand to select several knights and monks from the investigation team , "Carl, Hubert, Vanessa, Veruseran, Ryan, the five of you stay outside, if the wolf and I haven't come out after a day, you just leave, continue the mission, and never stay again Hubert, you will keep my seal and sacristy."
The senior monk handed over several seemingly important things to his deputy: a simple and stable church knight, and Tridis nodded to Lily after a short thought: "Ulysses I was ordered to serve as the guard and guide of the wolf before arriving in Baicheng. Knights must not disgrace their mission—I will take half of the people in with you, and the rest will wait outside. Just like the arrangement of this monk, let them stay in the city. Wait outside for a day." As she said that, she turned around and said, "Now I will start the roll call, and those whose names are called will follow me!"
Lily thanked her, then looked back, she pointed to the big iron cage being carried by the furbolg: "Then what about this piece of smoked meat?"
"This 'monster' still holds important secrets..." Calassius frowned, "at least take it to White City and hand it over to the Talos royal family. But the monster must be guarded by a bear that does not fall into dreams Strange… "
"It's easy, you guys stay too," Lily waved her hand, letting a few furbolgs stay, and by the way, a lizardman shaman who could speak the common language of mankind was left behind, otherwise the stupid furbolgs would have no way to fight with those furbolgs. The remaining humans communicated, "You, you, you, and you... Well, now that the smoked meat is also escorted, is the arrangement properly? Let's go to that tearing point!"
This time, no objections were raised.
Everyone checked their equipment. Just in case, Lily asked each of them to put a pinch of their own tail hair in their pockets. After making all preparations, she, the wolf, took the lead and stepped into the flowing water first. In the purple-black mist that hovered like a dragon.
The moment she stepped through the fog, she felt that she had stepped into a completely different "field" from before. The air was filled with a cold and corrupt atmosphere, and her vision was affected by the purple-black mist. It became soft and corrupt, and even the sky above his head was covered with a layer of purple-black tulle, and the sun became a dim round spot, crumbling, as if it would be driven away by darkness at any time.
And all these changes happened at the moment of stepping into the fog. Looking at the "Chaos Tearing Point" from the outside before crossing the fog, it was just a gloomy hillock, far less weird than it is now.
Lily sniffled, the smell of corruption in the air made her a little awkward, she looked down at her hand, and found that she really started to shine again.
It's just that this light is much weaker than that in the Black Forest and the Great Wasteland, and its scope of effect is much smaller-after all, the tearing point of Chaos is surrounded by the Land of Order, and the ubiquitous power of Order suppresses the primitive darkness. Mana, the conflict between order and chaos is naturally much weaker.
"This place is much wider than when I looked at it from the outside." Lily shook her head, looked up and looked around, "When I looked at it from the outside, it was obviously a mound of dirt, but it looks like a hill from here."
Calassius is a veteran in this area: "The space and optical phenomena near the tearing point of chaos will be distorted. It is normal for the environment inside and outside the tearing point to deviate. Be vigilant, everyone, we have entered the realm of chaos. This land The evil forces in the world have noticed the approach of the intruders, and they will attack at any time."
Lily let out an oh, and walked ahead to lead the team up to the hill.
The hill was not very big, although it was several circles larger than when observing from the outside, but at this time it was only a small hill with a height of several hundred meters. Lily looked up at the top of the hill and saw a dilapidated large The house stood silently in the dark.
It was a two-storey bungalow, and it might have been gorgeous in the past, but now its outer wall is mottled and dilapidated, with several large holes in the roof, and the windows and doors have become black holes. Around the bungalow, there are twisted and poisonous thorns Under the stimulation of dark magic power, it grew wantonly, climbing up to the second floor of the bungalow as if it was going to swallow the whole building.
"That's Hogus' hut," said Calcius, who knew every chaotic tear point in Kolo's world. In the library of the sanctuary, he consulted the history of every chaotic lair, "in Four centuries ago, before the Talos Kingdom was established, this hill was once the territory of the Eagle Empire. In a certain year, a plague with curse characteristics broke out here, and a powerful shadow mage was ordered to come here , to investigate the traces of shadow magic behind the plague—but that shadow mage named Hogus is actually a follower of Annihilation. The portal of chaos. Later, his plan was revealed, and he was hunted down by the emperor's knights all the way to this place, and this is his last magic laboratory—the lunatic used himself as a source of energy to open a chaotic passage here."
"Afterwards, this place became a tearing point," the female knight Tridis shook her head, "Its power once covered a third of the southern hills, and later, with the efforts of many generations of monks and mystics in the sanctuary, , the tearing point is compressed to such a small range. So cult lunatics are the most hateful things in this world, you must see one and kill one."
At this time, the team had already reached the top of the mountain, and the dilapidated bungalow was right in front of them. Lili had sharp eyes and saw something unusual at a glance: "Sure enough, someone has been here recently!"
The surrounding area of the bungalow was filled with dark magic power, and there were originally poisonous thorns, but the thorns in front of the house were obviously cleaned up.
Lily leaned down and sniffed vigorously again—although the stench in the rotten soil made her very uncomfortable, there was indeed a little familiar smell mixed in the stench.
But this time, the happy look on her face gradually faded.
Calcius was the first to see something was wrong: "What's the matter, wolf?"
"There are other smells," Lily's eyes flashed with a strange light. Anyone who is familiar with the wolf knows that her instinct as a predator is awakening. "An unpleasant smell... I want to bite people..."
Strands of dark magic power began to seep out from the bungalow.
The intuition of life and death as a warrior all the year round made Tridis react immediately, and the female knight immediately raised her two swords: "Be careful, there are enemies!" (to be continued~^~)
