Chapter 662 Avalon
Nierosta woke up with a slight shake.
The first thing he smelled after waking up was the strong smell of smoke, mixed with the smell of blood. He coughed twice and saw Adore squatting beside him, bandaging his wounds.
"Are we alive?" Nierosta asked in a hoarse voice.
Before Adore could answer, he heard Sand Dune's voice: "Kill two people with all your might, don't look like you have ended a war."
The familiar harsh tone made Nierosta feel at ease.
Looking around, they seemed to be in the village they had seen before, leaning next to a well.
Then the surroundings were filled with the crushed and beaten corpses of Night Country knights, broken armors, broken cursed knives, collapsed houses, and even some wooden houses that were set alight by cursed fire, and there were still sparks left.
Not far away, a bloody carrot was stuck on a small pile of corpses. The painting style was incompatible with everything around it, but Nierosta knew that it was this carrot that created the hellish scene now.
Nierosta got up, shook his still heavy head, and thanked Adore.
"Hey, curses are as unique as certain people's personalities. Can you combine them at will?" Shaqiu mocked with a split mouth on his face.
Nierosta was a little embarrassed: "The situation is urgent. The knights on the other side are all good players. If we can't fight quickly, my three-axe will be easily defeated by catching the flaw."
Both he and Adore could calmly accept some of the inhuman abnormalities on Sand Dune.
The threshold has been raised in advance by those strange-shaped plants.
"Although it almost cost me my own life, just exchange for the heads of two insignificant people." The supervisor brother continued to sarcastically say.
Nierosta said no more, because it was the truth. The lack of hard power can only be made up for by some small actions and cleverness. This is a fact.
He looked around and changed the subject: "How is the situation here? Do you have any clues?"
"This group of people is temporarily stationed here, and one of their troops left a day ago. Everyone in this village was killed. They did it very simply. The corpses of the villagers are all on the ground where you were leaning. In the well." Shaqiu slapped the supervisor back and pointed at the well behind Nierosta.
Adore was also at the edge of the well. He shuddered when he heard the words and took a few steps away from the mouth of the well.
Nierosta sniffed the air again, and then he realized that the smell of blood he smelled did not seem to come from the Knights of the Night Country who were crushed by carrots, but from the well he had just leaned against.
My heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
"Killed by the curse, if it accumulates for a period of time, it may become a wandering soul." Sha Qiu added.
"Wouldn't that be bad?" Adore stroked the goosebumps on his skin.
He thought of some widely circulated horror books, about ancient houses hiding evil spirits in deep mountains and old forests. Could this village become a real supernatural place in the future?
Nierosta shook his head helplessly, looked at Shaqiu and said, "Mr. Shaqiu, shall we continue to track the army that left a day ago?"
"It's not necessary. I mainly wanted to find out the other party's identity before, but now I know it. And they are not my target. It's time to return to our own way." Shaqiu shrugged, not planning to continue chasing.
Although he knew that the team that left early was probably the real key.
Drawing vitality through killing, the remnants of the old Yexiang emperor, taken together, are likely to be related to the method of corpse fraud mentioned by Red.
These don't really matter.
Anyway, he knows that the opponent's target is Loki, and as long as he reaches Red, he will always meet him.
Before leaving, they came to the edge of this small village.
Nierosta and Adore stepped back a certain distance under Sand Dune's instructions, and then looked at Sand Dune with his hands open.
The two people behind them suddenly felt the roar of the mountain wind, as if some kind of creature was screaming.
The dark wind was blowing, the moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, substantial resentment floated on Sand Dune, and black air rose.
Then, flying directly from the top of the dune, it was a terrifying resentful spirit wearing a tattered suit, pale face, twisted limbs, and full of hatred!
Adore and Nierosta were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
There are so many surprises in Shaqiu. I never thought that this big boss would actually harbor such a resentful spirit!
After Brother Grudge appeared, he opened his mouth to the village in front of him, and immediately a large amount of black energy was drawn out from the entire village.
Those scattered Knights of Night Country, the remnants of the houses, the scorched earth, and the well.
The majestic black gas emerged together, as if black clouds were pressing over the city.
You can vaguely see the hideous and painful human faces looming in the black air.
And in the end, they were all swallowed by Brother Grudge.
"Hiccup."
After eating, he burped and Brother Grudge fell down and returned to Sand Dune's body.
These grievances and curses may seem like a lot, but in fact they are much inferior to Brother Curse's daily income. They feel inferior to Wanyi, who commits suicide every day and explodes with gold coins everywhere.
But it is enough as a snack. There is nothing wrong with changing the taste, not to mention that he has pets recently.
Adore and Nierosta looked at the silent village in front of them. Although there was no change on the surface, after being sucked in by the resentful spirit, the village in front of them seemed to be less sinister.
Maybe it's just an illusion.
Without saying anything more, the three of them left the place.
…
Loki's Avalon.
This city is the largest city in Loki and the capital of the small country of Loki.
Its main body is located on the mountainside. With subsequent expansion and certain demands, the building even extends to the nearby mountain peaks. When the three of them trekked here, they could see the buildings "attached" to the mountain from a distance.
Shaqiu took out his camera to keep a souvenir.
The city on the mountain in front of you is the final destination of this journey, and it is also the hometown of the legendary wizard Merlin.
After the three people looked at it from a distance, they came to the foot of the mountain, where there were villages of various sizes.
Adore once again exerted his function. After socializing with the villagers, he found a carriage that was about to enter the city. For a small fee, the kind villager could help take him a ride.
"Hey, this last journey can be regarded as relaxing again." Adore sat on a bale of hay, beating his knees that had been overworked during this period.
After a warning from the coachman in front, the carriage began to move.
Sha Qiu fiddled with some crops nearby that were probably going to be transported to the city for sale, and casually stuffed some of his own crops into them.
Adore went to the front to chat with the villager and find out more about Avalon.
"How many of you came to Avalon specifically from other places? Hey, the mountain scenery here is really amazing. Before the war, many people from the surrounding countries came to visit."
"Yes, the war seems to be over now, and more and more people have come to the city recently. There are more tourists, and those of us in the villages down the mountain can also pick up and drop off tourists and earn some extra money."
"Who has more people from outside the city? It's hard to say... There are probably the most people from Night Country and Risheng, especially the people from Night Country. When the war was about to end, many people from Night Country came to Loki. People seeking refuge. Recently, there have been more people in Risheng, including people from other countries, but not as many as these two."
The sound of conversation was not covered up very much, and Adore came back after talking casually, looking at Sand Dune and Nierosta.
Shaqiu nodded to him, then suddenly turned to look at the edge of the road.
"What's wrong?" Nerosta asked.
"There's someone over there." Sha Qiu said.
Adore looked carefully until the carriage turned and lost sight of that place, and didn't see anything special.
"Maybe it's just some mountain animals," the coachman said.
The dunes did not speak. The road leading to the city was built flat and spacious. The carriage went up without bumps. City buildings gradually appeared around them. They had arrived at Avalon.
