"...Okay, okay, let's go in and talk slowly, this is not a place to talk about things."
After entering the hotel, the girls asked for a private room, and after ordering, they sat down one after another. Facing Edwina who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Willis nodded to indicate that she could start her statement.
Paladin Ji coughed twice, then scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Well... Actually, it's like this. After I separated from everyone in the afternoon, I just chose a direction and walked straight forward. You also know that Town Demon City is very big, so you may not be able to reach the end by walking for a whole day. I I didn’t think too much about it, I just paid attention to the roadside markers in case I couldn’t find my way back.”
"However, as I was walking, I suddenly felt something was wrong. There should be a lot of people on the street, but it suddenly became very quiet. When I noticed, I don't know when, and in the blink of an eye, the surroundings changed to another scene."
"...?"
What the hell, let's tell a horror story here?There can't be any other seven mysteries of Town Demon City, right?
It was naturally impossible for Miss Priest to hear the complaints in Edwina's ears. She glanced at "Gulu" Ti Lisa who was swallowing her saliva, and continued.
"Although I don't know what happened, I drew my sword and prepared to respond."
"It's in a cloud-shrouded mountain, er, it's not the kind of gray fog in the city of the sky, it looks quite normal, but the place is very quiet, there is no one around, only a lot of butterflies flying around .”
"I walked around that mountain for a long time, but I couldn't get out, and for some reason, I felt that the armor and weapons on my body were also very heavy, just like going back to the time when I first became a paladin in the early years, just walking made me feel tired. sweating a lot."
"Just when I was a little anxious, the surrounding scenery changed again, and I suddenly returned to Town Demon City."
"And...it's still where I started, just like I'm still standing still."
Chapter 383: Chapter 11: Discussion and Search
After talking about the sudden and inexplicable encounter, Edwina looked at the black-haired girl who was resting her chin on the table as if asking for help.
"That's it, Ms. Willis, I thought about it when I came here. Although I have some speculations, they don't feel reasonable, so I hope to ask for your opinion."
"My opinion..."
Wei Lisi groaned and did not answer immediately, and then smiled and scanned the crowd present.
"Since everyone is here, why don't you share your views first, and only by brainstorming can we learn from each other's strengths."
"Oh! That's true, as expected of Miss Willis!"
The Paladin Ji, who was involved, thought so deeply, with an expression of "That's right!" However, in fact, no matter what Miss Priest did, she would always react in the same way, so there was not much reference value.
The other girls looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end it was Ti Lisha who was trembling and couldn't help but speak.
"It's haunted! It's definitely haunted, Miss Willis! I've heard a story called [Ghost Hitting the Wall], and it's very similar to what Miss Edwina described!"
"Well, okay, the next speaker."
Miss Priest motioned for the guy who offered no constructive advice to sit down with a blank expression, and then looked at Leila beside her.
"I think it may be something like an illusion. Edwina may have never left the Town of Demon Town from the beginning to the end."
This answer... is quite satisfactory, and it sounds like that. It is obvious that Leila has really thought about it.
But before Willis could speak, Edwina herself immediately shook her head and denied it.
"I've also thought about this possibility, but paladins are priests protected by the goddess, and they are highly resistant to abnormal magic like hallucinations, not to mention that every plant and tree in that cloud-shrouded mountain is very real , not like a fake."
"There is also a very important point. If it is an illusion, unless everyone nearby is hallucinating, otherwise I have been in a daze for so long, how could no one notice the problem?"
"Well... Speaking of which."
Willis interjected at the right time.
"Didn't you ask the testimonies of the witnesses around you? What is your situation from their perspective?"
Apparently Edwina had anticipated this question, and nodded immediately.
"I asked, but that area is a bit remote, and I heard that martial law was imposed for a while in the afternoon for some reason, and most people didn't go out. Probably because of this, I felt very quiet at that time. Although I returned to Town Town By then, the martial law had been lifted, but in the eyes of those residents, I just popped up from a remote corner instead of standing there motionless."
"Martial law..."
It seemed that something really happened in that place, and what happened to Edwina might not be accidental.
At this time, the relatively introverted sister Renee also tentatively guessed.
"Could it be space magic? Someone teleported you to that place, and then teleported back after a while... something like that?"
This was even more impossible, and Wei Lisi directly vetoed it and gave a little explanation.
"Spatial teleportation has an obvious process. It is impossible to suddenly appear or disappear without warning. The short-distance teleportation of the space system is still possible, but the scene in Edwina's description has obviously left the Town of Demon Town. .”
Finally, Miss Priest cast her eyes on Xiaolongniang beside her.
"Xiaoguang, what do you think?"
"... Small plane space."
"Yeah! As expected of you, it's exactly what I thought, our Xiaoguang has become smarter now~ Reward a touch!"
Willis raised her head in satisfaction and rubbed Miss Julong's head, and the latter didn't care about the sights of the people around her, leaning on her master with pleasure, narrowing her eyes and purring.
Obviously, the attention of all the girls immediately shifted to this so-called reward, and their eyes widened by coincidence, and even Edwina, who was the victim, muttered enviously, "Wow!" I really want to be stroked on the head by Ms. Willis like this..." and other weird words.
"Cough um..."
Embarrassed by the look of envy and anticipation, Wei Lisi could only end the interaction with the pet ahead of time, and bring the topic back to the latter's unfinished expression.
"All in all, from Edwina's description, I preliminarily judged that she might have been sent to a special small plane space by chance or deliberately by some guys, and then ran out after being trapped for a period of time... Of course, it’s just speculation, not necessarily the truth.”
"Small plane space...? What Miss Willis means, is it similar to the reflection of the Forgotten Land?"
Edwina was also one of the first-hand witnesses to what happened in the Forgotten Land of the United Kingdom, so she naturally understood it immediately, and pondered thoughtfully.
"Although I missed the target, it's not far away. I just have nothing to do. So, after a good meal, let's go to the place you mentioned and see if we can find any clues."
Afterwards, the waiter served the food, and the few people stopped discussing this topic, and instead talked about what they saw and heard after they separated, especially after hearing Wei Lisi's report about the possible connection between the town's officialdom and the current situation. Different expressions.
With enough food and drink, the group of people took advantage of the light of night and led by Edwina to the place where she had encountered the strange incident before.
This is the end of a small street in the north of Zhenmo City. Although it is not very bustling and noisy, it is still full of people. Even now that it is already night, you can still see many night stalls and shops with lights on the roadside.
"Miss Willis, it's just around here. At that time, the shops were closed, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. I just felt that when the surroundings became abnormally quiet, the environment and scenery suddenly changed."
"Um…….."
Staring at the paladin Ji who was gesticulating in the night, Willis frowned slightly.
Although Edwina's current location is not in the central area of the street, it is not particularly remote. As long as she pays attention to it, she can quickly notice it, so the theory of illusion should be completely ruled out.
In addition, this street only has two main roads heading north and south, and the alleys that extend out are all dead ends. If the government imposes martial law here, the most Wei Lisi can think of is rounding up and other activities.
What are they rounding up?
Why was Edwina suddenly sent to the small plane?
It's hard to judge now, after all, based on the description of the paladin Ji, it may not be the whole picture of the incident, and her observation must be one-sided and subjective.
If you can experience it yourself, it's good to judge.
But unfortunately, the few of them wandered around for a long time without any commendable abnormal phenomena, and they did not get any valuable clues after consulting the local residents. unknown.
The cloud-shrouded mountains sounded more like Edwina's own imagination.
But Wei Lisi knew that this guy was not just talking about it, and the sweat on Paladin Ji's body when they met in the evening was also a strong proof. According to her description, there was probably some kind of suppressing effect similar to law in that mountain.
Ms. Priest also tried to secretly use sp to conduct a more in-depth investigation of the small area, but still found nothing. This is indeed a normal space, and there is no hidden entrance.
"Oh? Miss Willis, look, what is this?"
Suddenly, Ti Lisa exclaimed with doubts, and everyone leaned forward one after another, only to see that she was squatting next to a roadside plant, gently wiping the tree's skin with her fingers.
Chapter 384: Chapter 12: Silver powder, the beginning of delivery
This is an unremarkable tree, and the tree species is also a common type in the United Kingdom. Naturally, what Ti Lisha was referring to was not the plant itself. She raised her hand and showed the area that was just being wiped to her companions.
There is a small faint mark on it that is not easy to detect in the night.
Edwina squatted down, looking at this loophole that she hadn't noticed before.
"Is this... silver powder? Potion or something?"
"Probably not, this thing is interesting, but..."
Without making her words clear, Wei Lisi gently rubbed it with her fingertips to get a little silver powder on it, and handed it to Xiaolongniang.
As a pure-blood dragon, Xiaoguang has a very sensitive sense of smell, and can easily distinguish the deep meaning of each smell, which is also one of her abilities.
The two sides cooperated tacitly, and Miss Julong didn't care about this kind of behavior like ordering her. She immediately sniffed the black-haired girl's smooth and fair fingertips a few times, and smashed her mouth again.
"Master, it looks like a powder secreted by a living creature. It's very strange. It should be a creature I haven't seen before."
"Powder secreted by creatures..."
Wei Lisi nodded and wiped her fingers clean on her body.
There is some law-like aura remaining on this powder. Although it is very weak, it is not wrong. Since it is secreted by a living creature, it is very likely that the other party is a powerful living body with similar abilities, that is-mythical species .
She didn't know whether this unknown powder was related to the situation that Edwina encountered, but since the two appeared in the same area at the same time, the possibility was still very high.
"It seems that we can't find any more valuable information. It's almost time. Let's go back to the hotel first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
Although this matter feels confusing, especially the powder left by the suspected mythical species, Wei Lisi has aroused a lot of interest, but since she can't find it, she will not stare at this unlucky encounter without many clues. put.
Now the main problem in this town of demons is still the intensified conflict with the Wanmo Mountains. Although Wei Lisi came here for this matter, she has not yet decided whether to fully intervene in this matter. Where do you stand.
As far as the relationship with Lilia is concerned, she should naturally help the United Kingdom, but this time is different from the Beast Kingdom. Although the monster war is about to break out, in fact, judging from the information I have learned recently, it is actually human beings who kill themselves. If he was really beaten, he could only say he deserved it.
But for now, the intelligence collection is far from enough. If you want to make a real decision, it's best to wait until you know the situation from multiple angles, especially from the monster side.
If it is really troublesome and difficult to make a decision, as Lester said, it may not be a bad choice to help each other carry buckets and run away.
After returning to the hotel they had booked in advance, the girls went back to their rooms to rest. During this period, nothing worth mentioning happened.
Silent all night.
The next morning, as soon as Wei Lisi woke up from the bed, she heard a large number of dense footsteps and the sound of armor colliding from the street downstairs.
She woke up Xiaolongniang, and just about to go out to see what happened, she found that Leila Renee, Edwina, Ti Lisa and others were standing in the corridor, looking straight down, and many other hotel guests were also staying at the door of the room and whispering.
In the hotel lobby, a group of heavily armed kingdom soldiers lined up to guard the door, and the hotel owner was communicating with a casually dressed middle-aged man.
"What's going on, what happened?"
Seeing the black-haired girl and Miss Julong who was yawning slowly, Edwina and the others hurried over, and the smartest and most reliable Miss Layla quickly explained.
"Master Wei Lisi, according to what they mean, it seems that the demons from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain disguised themselves as humans and sneaked into the city yesterday. For some reason, they were discovered by the demon hunters. Now they are searching the whole city. We also need to investigate here, room by room."
The pastor was taken aback.
"Demons have sneaked into the city? How many demons... do you need to make such a big fuss?"
The devil is just a general term commonly used in the United Kingdom, and does not specifically refer to a certain race. Basically, any monster can become a devil, so the devil can also be understood as a monster that is powerful to a certain extent.
Not all powerful monsters are devils, but devils must be difficult to deal with.
That's about the concept.
But even so, it is a bit over the top to directly hunt down the whole process for the sake of a few demons.
"Yeah, we also feel very strange, and I heard that this is not the first time. In the past month or so, the scale of the raids has become larger and larger every time. They are all the devils who have sneaked into the city. Lady Willis, you Could it be that last night..."
Miss Pastor shook her head, and she didn't let Leila continue to talk. It's not that she is jealous, but they are outsiders, and they know too little information at present, so random guesses are meaningless.
During the conversation, the negotiations downstairs seemed to have ended.
Although spying on the privacy of the tenants is obviously not allowed, but the boss would not dare to stop the army from searching, and depending on the situation, these people obviously have a search warrant. According to the laws of the kingdom, in this case Continuing to resist enforcement is tantamount to treason.
The boss stepped aside resignedly, and the soldiers also began to enter the guest rooms one by one, searching through boxes and chests.
Seeing this rude action, Wei Lisi frowned.
It’s okay if it’s just to search the room. Anyway, her things are basically stored in the props column, and there are only dispensable things outside. Edwina and the others also have their own storage props. Leila Renee is the feather emperor before leaving. It was presented as a gift, and Ti Lisa, the caring Miss Life Goddess, also made one for her, and the quality is not low.
But is this action really something that normal kingdom troops can do?
Unscrupulous, rough behavior, throwing the package on the ground like tatters, and throwing the contents everywhere, even chairs, teacups and other things were deliberately knocked to the ground, which is more like venting violence than searching.
It directly reminded Willis of the scene when the robbers rushed into the village and robbed them when they were traveling in the past.
