dark moon

Chapter 179 Process
"Bang bang bang", the light tambourine sound was mixed with the crisp ringing of bells, the organ played a cheerful melody, the alluring aroma floated from the fire, and several outgoing female caravan members hummed a light tune, Taking small steps, the tableware is distributed to everyone's hands. The fragrant breeze blows as the body turns around, and the gorgeous clothes are not affected by the cold weather at all.

Beautiful even if you freeze to death!This is the persistence of Linte women. Well, maybe this is the persistence shared by female intelligent creatures all over the world.

In the afternoon, after a simple exchange, things finally became clear. The coincidence made everyone sigh at the magic of fate.

No one knows how the ghost space broke out, but they are not far away from each other. The three teams, which are at most ten kilometers apart, were drawn together to the ghost space at some point before and after the banquet the night before. space.

Maybe everyone had fallen asleep at that time, maybe some teams were still busy cleaning up the camp and cleaning up the mess, maybe some knights were still rolling together and didn't know what they were doing, but no matter what everyone's actions were, no one found themselves and surrounding anomalies.

Until the next day, that is, yesterday, the sky was just getting dark. The caravan people had a banquet last night. Although they had cleaned up the mess at night, they definitely had more work than usual this morning, so they got up earlier than usual. Earlier.

So early in the morning, everyone was in the dark, preparing to pack their personal belongings and then continue the day's journey.The whole team was very lively, and everyone was very busy. Although they hadn’t started loading the truck yet, it still took a lot of effort to sort out the tents and put everything in a customary place for easy loading.Even the pampered Count Merck was cleaning the collection of jade jewelry he showed to everyone while drunk last night.

The children were also very busy. Three children gathered together, crying and looking for the toys they lost last night.Obviously, they had so much fun last night that the children fell asleep without knowing it. No one could remember where they threw the toys in their daze. They could only wipe their tears amidst the good-natured laughter of a group of adults, everywhere. Search for your treasures.

Of course, they found it. When the adults finally packed up everything and started loading the car, the children finally found their favorite toys under the long dining table in the main banquet hall, which had become fresh and tidy. .

So, as the three overjoyed children rushed towards their toys and held them in their arms, the entire camp was in shock. Even the children were stunned and cried at a loss. stand up.

Because, everyone suddenly found that their work all night and morning was in vain, and the camp suddenly changed back to what it was like in the middle of the banquet last night.

Tableware and wine bottles were strewn crookedly on the table. Tables and chairs were standing and lying down everywhere on the ground. Boxes containing food were placed in the open air. Even the bedding and other sundries that had been made were restored. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned up last night.

What was even more frightening was that it was getting dark again.

One moment ago, the sky was still slightly bright. Although the sun had not risen yet, you could already see things clearly around you. However, the next moment, the sky fell into darkness again. The silver moonlight shone on the wilderness, and the cold light made people feel all over. Tremble.The fire in the center of the camp was still burning, and the weak flames were still beating, struggling to emit the last of their light and heat.

Look at the sky, look at the fire, the current time is at most around two o'clock at night, that is to say, it's only two hours since the banquet is over, and it's impossible for everyone to be refreshed Get up excitedly and start working.

Were we sleepwalking together just now?
At this time, the members of the Chamber of Commerce remembered to observe themselves, and then they were surprised to find that all the clothes and items they had just put on today had disappeared. When they ran back to the camp, they found that the clothes were lying quietly where they were last night. , however, the clothes they had changed out of this morning had completely disappeared. They were not on their bodies, not in their packages, and could not be found anywhere. It seemed as if they had gone to another dimension, so that many people only wore their underwear and stood awkwardly in the cold wind. middle.

Before anyone could recover, the children's cries rang through the sky. Three children ran out with frightened faces and trembled in their parents' arms.After explanation, the adults learned that after these children picked up the toys, they suddenly found that all the toys appeared in the same place, and what they held in their arms was just a ball of air. The strange changes really frightened the children. They were in a daze. After being stunned for a long time, I remembered to cry loudly.

The sudden appearance of the children reminded the adults that they should count the number of people first to see if there were any missing people. After a simple count, they found that someone was really missing. A businessman affiliated with the chamber of commerce had just greeted a friend and said he wanted to go there. To solve a personal problem, he ran to the edge of the camp for convenience, but he has not returned yet and he cannot be found anywhere.

All changes are beyond the scope of normal people's understanding. From the leading nobles and captains to the transport workers of the caravan, and even the mercenary guards outside the two ranks, they are all in panic. Parents Holding the child in their arms, not caring about underwear or not, everyone gathered together, protected by the guards in the inner circle, and waited nervously.

Even they themselves don't know what they are waiting for. They are just at a loss after experiencing the changes, and they are looking forward to further changes so that everyone can understand what happened.If nothing else happened, they would probably have to panic for a long time before they would try to rearrange the camp and then quickly escape in confusion.

Fortunately, an accident occurred.

Just over ten minutes later, five figures appeared out of thin air from the edge of the crowd. Fortunately, when the figures appeared, the crowd was far away from the banquet venue, so no murder occurred.Of course, Marlene and the three knights appeared, and one of them was the missing member of the caravan.

This poor guy will probably never forget the experience of this day for the rest of his life. One moment he was joking with his friends and companions, but when he came back after having just solved his personal problems, he saw that everyone had disappeared, leaving only an empty camp.

What a hell.

The poor businessman was almost frightened by the sudden change, and ran around the camp crazily, trying to find other people, hoping that it was just a joke made by his companions, but he ran to every corner of the camp. Not a companion was found.

At this time, he still maintained the minimum of composure, and reluctantly lit a firework for help in the camp. He huddled pitifully beside the fire and shivered. The loneliness of abandonment and the fear caused by the strangeness continued to linger around him. , allowing this poor guy to imagine countless horrifying scenes.

What's even more frightening is that a sneaky rustling sound suddenly came from outside the camp.Already oppressed by fear, he was close to losing his mind, and he heard the sound of sneaking. The poor guy had already forgotten the purpose of lighting the fire. Like a rabbit shot by an arrow, he burrowed into the pile of goods and covered his head. Don't dare to come out.

In fact, it was Linda's footsteps when she came to check the situation. Unfortunately, this guy didn't know, or, fortunately, this guy didn't know, and Linda just wandered around in the empty camp before leaving quickly. , unwilling to stay in this strange camp for a long time, resulting in the two sides passing each other.

I don’t know how long I had been hiding with my head in my hands when the heavy sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in my ears.

To him, the upright and undisguised sound of horse hooves at this time was much more intimate than the sound of tiptoeing footsteps. At least it made him dare to stick his head out and look out to observe the source of the sound.

knight?A knight?

The reputation of knights in Parvatiga is not particularly reliable, but it is by no means bad, especially for knights who are well-equipped and look very powerful at first sight. At least they are rich and will not become robbers who commit murder and swindle goods.In this situation, the strange knight was already the most trustworthy person he could think of, so he ran out immediately, crying to the knights for help.

The knights must be Marlene and her companions. She originally wanted to explore the situation, so she was naturally overjoyed by the merchant's appearance. After asking about the general situation, she asked the abandoned merchant to lead them on a hurried tour of the camp. Again.

The inspection stopped abruptly at the banquet venue.

In the middle tent, Yan Xin accidentally kicked the wooden sword protruding from the bottom of the table, and then brought the entire pile of toys with it.So, in the originally silent camp, they suddenly heard a lot of weak sounds. When they walked out of the camp, they saw hundreds of people staring blankly at each other. No one was speechless for a while.

With the poor middleman as a communication bridge, the two parties quickly put down their guard, at least on the surface, and began to communicate with each other. After understanding the general context of the matter, although Marlene did not know what happened, she Her keen instinct made her realize immediately that the last pile of toys that was touched might be the key to the matter.

After blowing the trumpet, they couldn't contact the leader Dak, so they sent people to explore the parasite's camp. All they saw was an empty camp. What's even more frightening is that when the Wind Wolf Knight was sent to go back the same way to find Dak and the convoy. At that time, Feng Lang ran all the way back to the place where he camped last night, only to find the carriage that had not been moved in the camp.

At this time, Marlene already knew that there was big trouble, and then she made the wisest decision, which was to force everyone, including the hundreds of people in the caravan, to not come near the banquet area, and no one was allowed to touch them. That pile of weird toys.

No one knows what kind of situation the people in the ghost space will fall into if the status of the toys is changed in the real world, and whether they can go back the same way. But it turns out that at least not touching them is the right thing to do. Two hours later , Xiure and the others returned safely, and could sit in the new camp far away from the scene of the incident and enjoy the warm hospitality of the caravan as they do now.
