Chapter 285: Evil Ghost Village: Grady's Village

As they delved deeper into the mountains, the trees and leaves grew denser.

The entire Grady's Village was surrounded by dozens of consecutive hills, and with the addition of the surrounding vast forests, the area was perpetually gloomy, devoid of sunlight.

The dense forest concealed many things beneath its overlapping canopy.

In ancient times, this was the northern border of the Eastern Human Empire.

However, during the era of the Storm Kingdom, due to its national power being far inferior to the peak of the Eastern Human Empire, this area had long fallen into the hands of the Bulgars or other nomadic tribes.

The nomadic tribes could easily cross this barrier and advance south to attack Storm Keep.

Moreover, with these mountain-adjacent towns, the nomadic tribes essentially gained sedentary characteristics.

Nomadic tribes themselves were not frightening, because their organizational structure was scattered, and at most, they would only engage in a wave of looting.

But nomadic tribes with a feudal organizational structure could conquer territory and seize land.

Su Nan walked through the mountains, noticing that this area had already spawned a miasma composed of poisonous fog, perpetually gloomy environment, and uncontrolled head-lowering magic.

All the air in this region contained a special miasma.

This miasma was not good for the bodies of ordinary people; living here would likely lead to a short life and frequent illnesses.

Su Nan even saw a highly condensed mass of miasma under a tree.

Next to this tree, there was also a skeleton, seemingly left behind by a resident of this place.

Once an ordinary person fell into this green miasma, it would directly corrode their flesh, leaving behind only a skeleton.

The mountain man looked at the skeleton in the green miasma, his teeth chattering in fear, "See, I told you this place is very strange."

"Everyone be careful, don't step into that green mist."

"Ah, Master, you actually put this disgusting thing into your bottle."

Su Nan opened a bottle of White Aspen Tree Stabilized Sap Potion, introduced this green miasma into it, and preserved it.

He shook the potion and found that the miasma did not change much in the White Aspen Tree sap, indicating that its effect had been stabilized.

It would be good to occasionally study this miasma, perhaps discovering a new one-ring magic, and being able to draw inferences from it.

One cannot limit oneself.

Su Nan said to Vasilian and Warwick beside him, "How do you feel?"

Vasilian said briefly, "Master, I am fine."

Warwick said, "I feel some discomfort, but I will quickly adapt to this environment."

Su Nan said, "Keep going…"

They walked for about half an hour more, at which point the mountain man's legs were already a bit weak.

Along the way, they encountered many venomous snakes and insects, but these were all child's play to Su Nan now.

Before these things could even get close, they were directly crushed to death by the magic pressure emanating from Su Nan.

The road was littered with insects killed by Su Nan's magic pressure.

Su Nan did not conceal his magic pressure of 503, because if there was a powerful one-ring wizard here, they should have already come out to negotiate with him.

If not, then he could do as he pleased.

He was here to harvest the magical resources of this place.

Of course, Vasilian and Warwick were disguised; this was a necessary precaution.

Soon, a poisoned arrow landed in front of the mountain man's feet.

A mountain man with an unfriendly expression, a scar on his face, and resembling a monkey, held a bamboo tube for blow darts in his hand.

He looked at Su Nan's mountain guide and angrily rebuked, "How dare you enter here.

This is our family's territory, we don't welcome outsiders, leave here quickly."

"This is the last warning.

If you don't leave, your bodies will be covered in rotting flesh, and you will die in your own beds."

His mountain guide paled in fright and repeatedly looked at Su Nan, "Master… Master… we better leave here."

"These people from Grady's Village are very scary…"

Su Nan looked at the mountain man from Grady's Village, looked for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed.

"Mortal, arrogant."

In the next moment, Su Nan's magic pressure concentrated on the bamboo tube for blow darts in the other party's hand.

In just an instant, the bamboo tube was crushed into dozens of pieces by the magic pressure.

Then, Su Nan only glanced at the bamboo tube fragments, and all the fragments directly burst into flames in front of the mountain man.

A large ball of flames ignited on the chest of the Grady's Village mountain man.

He repeatedly extinguished the flames in front of him, then looked at Su Nan Peter in horror.

"You…"

"Are you a head-lowering master?"

Su Nan was too lazy to waste words with him.

In the next moment, in Su Nan's gaze, wind elements condensed into a knife, cutting open his cheek.

"I want to go to Grady's Village, lead the way."

The miasma was heavy here, and the terrain was complex, making it difficult to determine the location of Grady's Village for the moment.

The Grady's Village mountain man and the mountain guide simultaneously looked at Su Nan in horror.

They both regarded Su Nan as a head-lowering master from these mountains.

Su Nan looked at the mountain guide who had led the way before and tossed him a gold coin.

"Consider this your reward, go back the way you came."

Su Nan used the ecological niche reversal spell to summon Kor, then Kor looked at him, forcing him to forget everything.

Then, Su Nan looked at the Grady's Village mountain man.

The Grady's Village mountain man dared not offend Su Nan, "Head-lowering Master, I will take you into our village."

"Don't kill me."

With this original villager leading the way, Su Nan quickly found a village in the miasma.

The village existed in a place with barely any miasma between the miasma and the mountains.

At the same time, most of the people in the entire village looked weak and were constantly coughing.

Su Nan saw the core area of this village.

The core area of this village was the gathering place of two families.

The stone and wooden houses all had their respective family crests, which seemed to be the emblems of ancient noble families.

They had already become extinct in this era.

Su Nan was still standing on a hillside, seeing that there were at least two hundred well openings in this Grady's Village.

A large number of villagers tied a rope around themselves and jumped into the well openings, with someone watching at the well openings.

Some people had just jumped into the well openings, while others had already climbed out of the well openings, carrying a large bag of things on their backs.

Then they scattered these things on the ground, most of which were bronze ware, and a small part was gold.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows.

"So that's how it is."

The gold wizard's head-lowering system would use gold to harvest lifespan.

His magic path believed that gold could be traded for lifespan, thereby achieving a certain purpose.

Therefore, under this system, a group of people would inevitably be cultivated, constantly trying to find treasure from his wizard ruins.

These families passed down through generations, using their own lifespans to gradually exchange for the gold wizard's treasure.

But what did the gold wizard need so much lifespan for, gathered on his body?

His current physical state did not seem to be that of a normal living person.

In these two thousand years, how many years of lifespan had he gathered using this method?

The next question that came to Su Nan's mind was, if the lifespans he had gathered had not been spent by him, could they be plundered by himself and used to refine magic potions…

Moreover, there should be a large number of high-level undead in the gold wizard's wizard ruins, and he needed a one-ring undead creature's corpse.

Su Nan led the people down the hillside and came to the well opening on the south side of Grady's Village, looking at these villagers who were still trying to go down the well with ropes tied around their waists, and said to Warwick, "The residents in this village are essentially descendants of tomb robbers."

"Not bad, it seems that each one has practiced tomb-robbing skills, I am beginning to like them."

Warwick thought for a moment and understood the reason why Su Nan liked these tomb-robbing villagers.

These villagers could break into the half-step two-ring wizard ruins here with ordinary mortal bodies, so they could definitely dig up other ruins for Su Nan all over the world.

Su Nan looked at the brass ring he wore on his left thumb, which was what the 'Justice' witch had given him in the market that day, a set of two, used to contact each other.

Now, Mary should have followed his magic pressure and already found him.

Su Nan looked behind him, and sure enough, Mary, wearing a black and white dress, stood behind him, arms crossed, and said, "Su Nan, this place is quite difficult to find.

There are some peculiar energies that prevented me from finding this place."

Now Mary was also a formal wizard, so she would not call him "Master" anymore.

The two interacted as equals, but in fact, the relationship was more familiar than before.

Su Nan showed some smiles, looking at Mary, "Your mental power has actually reached 200, how did you do it?"

Mary smiled and said, "There is the credit of your Flash +1 potion, and…"

Mary restrained her expression and said, "Since I discovered that my divine talent and the path of the wizard combined very successfully, I told my eldest brother Michael VIII.

He tried to arrange a series of powerful curses for me, and then helped me to unlock them, strengthening my power."

"He… sometimes, I feel that he only has cold rationality.

In his eyes, the relationship between people is a transaction."

"He didn't care about my feelings at all.

But then again, as the biggest beneficiary of the wealth of the Nicomedia Empire, I really shouldn't say these words."

Mary said, "Am I too ungrateful, Su Nan?"

Su Nan looked at Mary Paleologus and said, "I don't know.

But Mary, now you are a one-ring wizard, and you are still the divine person of the Paleologus family.

I noticed that the special divine power of the God of Law on you is even more intense."

"I see, the God of Law doesn't mind that you are a wizard.

On the contrary, he loves you even more."

"Take out your courage, 'Justice', just like the card you chose in the tarot cards."

Tarot cards are a popular divination technique.

Su Nan believed that tarot cards would have a special meaning.

Wizards have special spirituality, often the tarot cards they choose casually represent her personality and future.

Mary Paleologus smiled and said, "That's right."

"I am at least a divine person and a one-ring wizard."

"I can make decisions for myself!"
