"What you're talking about is complete nonsense..."

As she spoke, the human idol saw something unbelievable. The glass eyeballs stopped rotating at this moment, and she spoke almost word for word.

"It's Ella Williams' dress."

"how is this possible?!"

Hyde almost jumped up, and he took a few steps to look at the fragments of the ruffled dress, which indeed looked like Ella's style, but... Hyde couldn't help scratching his head and asked:

"Could it be a mistake?"

"will not."

Shadow asserted,

"The cloth does have her scent on it."

The puppet suddenly smiled helplessly,

"You idiots have made a very simple mistake... She did have a deviation in the time coordinates of the transmission, but that may not necessarily be a delay, Ayla may have reached that coast before us. But that's not a problem..."

Strictly speaking, Yingying's words actually scolded herself, but no one would jump out and touch her at such a time.

The puppet pinched a section of it with two fingers, and the broken cloth was swinging in the cold wind, she turned her head and added.

"The question is how early is she?"

The wind and snow seemed to grow louder, the voice was buried in the wind, and no one could answer the puppet's question.

Chapter 27 Childhood Horror Stories

The team continued to move forward, and the shadow found that every hundred steps away from each branch, there would be a section of wrapped cloth.Their materials and winding methods are exactly the same, and it can be determined that these are all marks left by Ayla.

Walking along the mark, Schiff was the first to find a house buried in snow.This is a relatively low-lying area, but the snow cover is strangely thinner than the surrounding area.

After clearing the snow in front of the door, they found that the space inside the house was much larger than expected. Counting the downward prey warehouse, it could barely accommodate the wizards and wounded who were only about [-] people left.

"Miss Fittilly, have you found anything?"

Lucien was not in a hurry to go into the house to avoid the snow, he carefully noticed Fittilly hovering around the hut, frowning.Or rather, the head of the envoy's oblique attention to any woman was far greater than the normal standards of other members of the regiment.

But Fittili has nothing to complain about. When she was hiding in Paris as a writer, her reputation might not be any better than that of Lucien.

Relying on the sharp senses of dirty blood species that are different from ordinary people, she said with certainty:

"I smelled blood and the dead...it was faint, but it was there."

"To be more precise, there is also the smell of magic fire and ashes. Have your people clear this snow to see what might be hidden underneath."

The shadow appeared from nowhere, supplementing the anomaly that Fitili had noticed.

Lucien nodded and dispatched a dozen wizards in better condition from the house to clear the snow.According to Shadow's suggestion, they did not use magic, but shoveled the snow in the most primitive way.

"And what is this for?"

After arriving in a relatively safe environment, Lucien finally found the opportunity to use a dagger to deal with the recently grown black beard.But to be honest, even though he doesn't think so himself, it does look a little more pleasing to the eye than he should have been.

He didn't refute, just expressed puzzlement at this approach.

"It's common sense that their magic will affect the original appearance under the snow, little boy."

Shadow was very disdainful of the behavior of the head of the envoy, and said sarcastically.

Lucien hit a soft spot, and the name the other party used made his scalp numb.In fact, at over 30 years old, he thought he would be the oldest person besides Fiennes among the league representatives.

He suddenly had a strong interest in the real age of this puppet girl, but years of experience and reason told him that any female humanoid creature with wisdom and reason would hate this question.

At this time, as a large amount of snow was cleared, some traces that were originally difficult to detect appeared on the exposed soil.

Shadow picked up a piece of carbonized plant roots from the ground. The soil was so hard that it was unnatural, as if it had been burned by high temperatures.Judging from the touch from his fingertips, the burnt wood was actually much cooler than the ice and snow.It was as if there was some kind of magic that showed both blazing heat and extreme cold, destroying its original structure and transforming the piece of wood into something strange.

"This is Ella's magic. The nature of her magic power is not so easy to be imitated by others... Judging from the remaining power, they should not have arrived a few days earlier than us. This is good news."

As she said that, she found a few sharp feathers nailed into the ground not far away.

"It seems that the two of them encountered something rather bad in this place."

"You'd better be vigilant. This forest is definitely not as simple as you think... I don't think there is any ordinary beast that can make those two crazy women expend so much effort."

The puppet's words were quite unkind, and she almost arbitrarily instructed the wizards of the Alliance and the Brotherhood to continue clearing the snow along with her discovery.

One of the wizards belonging to the Albion Brotherhood shoveled something cold and hard with a wooden board removed from the furniture in the house.

"Oh shit!"

He cursed, what appeared in front of the young wizard was a half mutilated human corpse, it was stripped to the ground, and the skin and body fractures showed a disgusting color like bacon.

As the young man moved, a large pile of snow fell apart.So heads, thighs, elbows, complete or incomplete rigor mortis pieces were scattered out, they were stuck together by the ice and snow, and were exposed as the snow hills collapsed.

The young wizard couldn't help throwing up on the ground, throwing up everything he ate a few hours ago.

"It's not good to waste food."

A gentle whisper came from behind his ear, and someone patted his back lightly.

"Lady Famini——"

Before he was about to say anything, Val went on:

"Go back and rest, and leave this place to others."

The young wizard's heart was moved by the girl's thoughtfulness, but what he didn't know was... When he said "wasting food", Val Farmini, the saint of the Albion Brotherhood, watched But it was in another direction not far from him.

Not far from the pile of corpses, another hastily buried snow pit was discovered.Different from the former, there is only one corpse buried here. It belongs to a huge black monster with antlers growing on its head.

"Wendigo!"

Fittili subconsciously yelled out. The scene in front of her eyes stimulated her somewhat vague memory, and some childhood scenes resurfaced in her mind.

"Wendigo?"

Hyde was stunned for a moment, he didn't remember hearing about this dangerous humanoid creature with antlers.

"What it is?"

Schiff squatted in front of the huge corpse and said with great interest,

"Generally speaking, Wendigo is a demon that exists in the descriptions of the Algonquians. Some people believe that they are also the legendary Bigfoot, and some people say that they are corpses possessed by evil spirits. According to Algonquin According to the Gunkun, a rapacious human cannibalistically degenerates into a demon at the end of his life."

Farmini also squatted beside the monster's huge corpse with great interest. She touched the forked antlers rooted on Wendigo's head with her hands, her tone full of innocence and curiosity.

"You're saying this is what cannibals end up like?"

Schiff pushed his silver-rimmed crystal glasses, didn't think much, just replied following the train of thought as it should:

"In fact, this statement has no theoretical basis... There are many famous cannibals in history. The indigenous people on some islands even retain the weird custom of cannibalism as a funeral, but they did not do it because of this. Become a Wendigo... The mysterious world has never captured their living bodies, and even their remains have not been discovered. Before that, we all thought it was just a rumor spread by ordinary people about ghouls and the like."

From Schiff's point of view, the corpse in front of him was severely damaged, and even had obvious signs of dissection. The only good thing was that it hardly rotted because of the temperature.

He noticed that there was a terrible curse in the corpse, which seemed to be similar to the obscure smell in the black resin, and even the smell of soil to a certain extent.

So a terrible conjecture gradually took shape in Schiff's mind.

"But I want to take back what I just said... The common sense of the outside world may not be fully applicable in the land of Nord. If possible, I would like to get a more complete corpse."

At this moment, a young maid from the Beluse family left the cabin. She found a piece of parchment on the table in the room.

Hyde glanced at it. It was a rather crude map, and the English notes marked on the map were obviously in Ayla's handwriting.

"It seems that they have indeed been here...but why don't they stay in the cabin and wait for us?"

He read the contents on the parchment, and his face gradually became a little ugly.The lines and patterns aren't precise though, and rather rough.

It is probably a poor imitation drawn by Ayla after a map that was not very professional, but other than that, the annotations are very detailed.

"If my guess is correct, the person who is reading this message now should be a representative of the embassy."

"Maybe you're Shadow or Hyde...it doesn't matter."

"I'll just say it, this forest is far more dangerous than you think..."

After reading some information left by Ayla, Hyde raised his hand and let a magic barrier with a silent effect shroud the hut.

Just as he completed this step, the strange wind sound like a night owl began to howl in the forest.

Looking at Schiff who was a bit puzzled, Hyde suddenly said so.

"Mr Schiff, I remember you mentioning that you wanted a whole Wendigo corpse?"

"Yes, if there are more samples, I will be sure to verify a conjecture about the birth principle of Wendigo."

His approach was very similar to what Ira had done before, using several glass test tubes to collect different body parts of Wendigo.The difference is that Schiff also stuck stickers full of information on one side of the glass wall.

But before he filled the last test tube, he was pulled up by Hyde, who said with a serious face:

"I think your wish will come true soon, but the prerequisite is that you must live until then."

The blizzard suddenly became violent, the cold wind scraped people's exposed skin like sharp knives, and the large white fine snow dust kicked up made it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

A dull vibration came from a distance, accompanied by the sound of large trees snapping.

Lucien's serious voice echoed around the hut, and by his orders the five wizards and Victoria were left in the room to tend to the wounded.Other combat forces quickly gathered outside the wooden house.

"disperse!"

Under his command, multiple magic chants sounded at the same time, and the huge wind pressure gathered isolated the blizzard dozens of meters away.

"illumination!"

As he spoke, he stepped back a few steps and entered a safe position behind the wizard.The gryphon also lowered its body and roared, assuming a defensive posture.

Dozens of shining fluorescent balls rose into the sky at the same time, making the space of nearly [-] meters in the forest as bright as day.

The shadow's glass eyeballs turned slightly, looking at the dark woodland a hundred meters away.Rows of trees were collapsing and breaking one after another. The hard twisted trunks were torn apart by some invisible force, and then fell to the sides to form a wide and messy road.

Not just one place, but three roads destroyed and torn by invisible forces are approaching the wooden house.

No...not completely intangible.

The shadow vaguely seemed to see something. She suddenly waved her hand and released large black smoke, which instantly extinguished all the light balls in the air.The puppets all pointed their fingers towards the sky, using the most common lighting technique.

When there was only one light source left, people finally saw clearly the nature of that invisible force.
