Chapter 2892 The Invaded Camp
Although Flora has not often appeared in Willendale City in recent years, she spent her girlhood there after all, so she has a very good relationship with the great witch who has been active in the royal capital all year round.
Sylvia glanced behind her, and the young girls took a few steps to the side sensibly, so the witch whispered:
"Oh, Flora, are you making fun of me? Since you are all called by his name, of course I can too, right? Something happened last night. I convinced Shade to change the way he calls me. , just like Xi Wei."
The artist lady nodded and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it:
"So now, apart from Granny Cassandra, Bella is the only one who is still called by Shade's surname, right? Speaking of which, you started earlier than me, but you didn't move very quickly~"
She smiled unconsciously as she spoke, and this smile made Sylvia change her original mind. She narrowed her eyes slightly:
"Flora, do you know how I persuaded Shade to change his name for me yesterday?"
The curious artist lady shook her head:
"Is it a very romantic scene?"
"Yes, of course it's romantic."
Sylvia lowered her voice and whispered in her friend's ear, and the latter's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. When a large group of blue and yellow furry chocobos came happily in the forest, and Shade turned to greet the girls to set off, the gray-black-haired Flora Winslet just looked at each other. He immediately blushed and crossed his arms across his chest.
"What's wrong?"
"You guys are so shameless!"
Although Shade wasn't sure what happened to Flora, he could probably guess something by looking at Sylvia's slightly satisfied expression. But fortunately, this did not affect the next action. After Shade determined the direction with powerful spatial perception, he rode on the tallest blue chocobo and led everyone into the forest.
The chocobos were extremely fast, and the group entered the area where the orchard was located around ten o'clock in the morning. Out of caution, they stopped at the periphery, and followed the usual practice of asking several girls who were good at long-range reconnaissance to use thaumaturgy, and then got a not-so-good result:
"There are traces of the activities of ring magicians nearby, and there are obvious detection rituals."
The speaker was Sylvia’s follower Miss Natalie Moreno. Like Sylvia’s assistant Miss Drake, she had been promoted to A ten-ring warlock.
"How extensive is the coverage of the ceremony?"
"We were worried about disturbing each other's rituals, so we didn't rush into in-depth perception, but the coverage is definitely not just a small area."
Sylvia then said to Shade:
"It seems that someone has chosen this area as a camp. In order to repair the ancient temple buildings scattered in the forest, the three major colleges, and recently the United Church, have summoned many ring warlock organizations to come to the local area. It seems that we have some luck this time It’s not easy to bump into other people.”
Even if there are two high-ring witches around now, it is not very prudent to rush into a camp that has been set up for a ring warlock. But now that we are already here, there is no reason to turn around and leave:
"Take care of those chocobos. Sylvia, you take Miss Moreno and the others and hide them in the woods. Flora, you turn into an owl and follow me. We directly touch each other's rituals and tell each other We have discovered this camp to see what kind of people will come to 'greet' us."
The girls who came this time all came from Willundale with the great witch and princess of space, and they are all good at space abilities. Even if you encounter the worst situation, you can still run away if you want to.
Sylvia had no objection to this plan, and the Great Witch of Death, who had not spoken to Shade because she was shy along the way, nodded and turned into an owl, fluttering her wings and flew to Shade. on the shoulders.
Shad waited for a while to make sure that Sylvia and the others were hidden, then he reached out and touched the owl on his shoulder:
"If it's not necessary for a while, let's not take action now."
Obviously he had done this before, but this time the gray owl shook its body violently, as if it was frightened:
"Okay."
"Well, what did Sylvia just say to you?"
So he asked tentatively, hoping that Sylvia would not explain it too carefully, but the owl refused to discuss this topic:
"I didn't say anything! I mean, you can't say this at a time like this!"
Xia De did not ask further questions, put on the soul crystal ring, took a deep breath, stood there and punched the air in front of him:
"Mind blast!"
Under the influence of the powerful soul and strong mental power, the impact of the punch fired into the air roared forward like an invisible storm. While the branches of the dead trees in the forest rustled, more importantly, the invisible spiritual impact interacted with the spirit, directly triggering all nearby investigation rituals.
From the perspective of the owl on his shoulder, if Shade's punch hit him head-on, it should be enough to turn most of the mid-ring warlocks into idiots. But then she remembered that when she visited Carina who was lying in bed, the other party praised Shade's physical strength, so even without the addition of mental power, Shade's fists were still deadly weapons.
"But what does Carina mean by specifically praising Shade's physical strength to me? She wants to tell me, isn't Shade afraid of being affected by the death essence of my soul?"
The ritual was triggered without producing any sound or light effects, but the "strong wind" frightened away a few birds resting on the treetops not far away. Shade stood still, thinking that someone would appear soon, but he waited for five minutes and nothing came.
If the other party was really so lax about guarding the camp, they would probably all die on the first night they came here.
Finally, the owl on the shoulder suggested:
"Look ahead. Except for the squirrel that jumped over your head just now, I don't feel any soul bigger than a fist approaching us."
Shade then made a gesture behind him, indicating to Miss Sylvia that they did not need to come out for the time being, and then walked towards the orchard that had been abandoned for a hundred years.
The perceptions of the girls just now were not wrong. Centering on the old site of the orchard, there are indeed a large number of traces of investigative rituals here, and those ritual traces were indeed touched by Sha De.
At first he thought it was a trap to lure him into the opponent's territory, but soon there were traces of fierce fighting in the nearby woodland. A large number of trees seemed to have been cut by high-energy light, turning into pieces of wood scattered on the ground. Occasionally, large trees could be seen uprooted and then inserted diagonally into the land further away.
The battle that took place not long ago seemed to be a devastating one. Of course, this meant that the side attacking the camp was devastating. The opponent should have entered the camp directly along the way. The clear signs of fallen trees in the forest explained the opponent's route.
The few charred trees that were ignited by the fireball explosion were still lying on the ground with smoldering sparks. Shade bent down and wiped the blood on the ground, and found that the blood had not even dried up.
"This kind of soul power."
Miss Owl now crossed her wings in front of her face:
"It smells so disgusting. The other party used a soul-like ability, which is definitely not a safe power."
Of course Shade knew that the power was not safe. At this time, he did not even need to look at the light of the [Night Watch] in his hand or use the "Visual Demon" to observe the strong demonic power around him.
In other words, all the traces of battle he could observe had obvious traces of demonic power. Not only the intruders, but also the ring warlocks stationed here use demonic power.
As expected, the intruder must be a doctor. The cuts on the surrounding trees were obviously caused by the light coming out of his eyes, which he called "anti-life rays". The big tree that was used as a stick was probably pulled out by the doctor after his right hand was wrapped in "human pus" and turned into a giant shape.
As for his opponent, Shade guessed it should be the [Fog Crow Brotherhood]. Most of the people who use demonic power in the entire material world are gathered in this organization. Although "seeing demons" is a thaumaturgy that specifically targets evil spirits and demons, because those ancient evil spirits often appear in the bodies of alien demons, this thaumaturgy also has an effect on the power of ordinary demons.
After thinking about this, Shade said to the owl on his shoulder who only had a mysophobia about soul power:
"These are probably my friends in front of you. You guys wait for me here. I can just go there myself."
But this time the "Owl" did not agree:
"You should know that the other party's station is ahead. There must be more than one person waiting for you, right? I know you don't want too many people to see your friend, but I will never disregard your safety. ”
While speaking, he flapped his wings twice to express his emotions, so Shade smiled and touched the owl:
"Okay, you fly to the sky in a while, don't let everyone on the ground notice you."
The doctor must have disguised himself well, even if he was seen, it would be nothing:
"Also, take this sword with you."
"Why? Are you afraid that others will know your identity?"
"No, no, I'm afraid of accidental injury. Wait, why do I feel like something is vibrating on my body?"
Xia De said suspiciously, feeling in his pocket, and then took out the dragon egg fragment that was obtained with the tree hole yesterday. This was the thing that kept vibrating:
"What does this mean?"
The owl stretched out its wings and touched the eggshell, and analyzed it professionally:
"The longing soul resonated. To put it simply, although the creature in the eggshell is not here, the eggshell has been with it for a long time, so it has been infiltrated with its soul power. Now it senses something related to it. It’s something important, so it’s shocking. We’re in the right place, there are definitely clues related to that black dragon beast!”
