Headshot Wizard - Chapter 299
Chapter 299 Forbidden Devil Forest (seeking subscription!)
The snow-capped mountains at night appear to be exceptionally quiet, with snow and wind blowing from time to time, and they are blocked by cold rocks and glaciers.
In the wind shelter, a bonfire ignited raging, and the light of the fire shone on the tent, pulling out strangely-shaped shadows.
“In four days, all places have been searched.”
As Dora spoke, she took off the quill pen in her mouth and crossed the last blank area on the map.
This map is a preliminary map drawn by her and Lance using the flying capabilities of the second-level wizards to conduct aerial reconnaissance in the area east of the Hanshan Pass. Although it is very rough, it can roughly describe the specific situation of Sanchester’s demiplane.
The forest to the south of Baicheng is one end of the river of planes; and the northern part of Hanshan, there is also a branch of the river of another plane, but there is no lost wharf here. Wizards below level 4 want to rely on their own abilities. To travel through the river of planes is undoubtedly an idiot dream. In the entire Hanshan Mountain Range, only the Hanshan Pass has a special plane depression phenomenon, which is attached to another plane. That’s why Lance can enter the Blackpool Land and the Kingdom of Storms through there.
And between the river of the plane and the cold mountain in the northeast, this large area is the place where Sivare Castle may exist, which is the target area they searched for.
They were only disappointed that after four days of searching, they found nothing.
“Is it possible that the castle was invisible by some power?”
By the campfire, Valerie frowned and said, “Or another half plane?”
“Your knowledge of the plane must have not been studied well.” Landry attacked mercilessly:
“The demiplane is embedded in the demiplane? This is a phenomenon that violates the three iron laws of plane knowledge. The demiplane can only be inlaid with two normal planes, because there is no plane heart as the core force to inlay each other. The demiplane of the will soon lose balance, and eventually sink into the void under the action of the gravity of the astral. The reason why the Sanchester demiplane can exist for a long time is that on the one hand, the river of the plane is used as a hub and embedded in Faerun. Near Dole; on the other hand, it was also confirmed by Lance—the world in the northern part of Hanshan Pass must also be a complete plane.”
“Landry is right.” Dora said flatly: “There can be no more demiplanes. As for invisibility, it’s possible…”
“Not invisible.” Lance denied:
“It is very difficult to enchant a castle, not to mention, even if it is invisible, it should not escape my eyes.”
Seeing that he was so confident, the rest of the people nodded despite doubts in their hearts.
Naturally, Lance was not bragging. Hawkeye itself had a certain anti-concealment ability, and with the assistance of black bats, he could not miss an entire castle.
“There is no demiplane, and it’s not invisible…” Dora muttered, “Then only the last possibility is left.”
As soon as he said this, everyone was silent, and Landry’s face turned slightly blue.
The bonfire crackled, making everyone’s silence even more embarrassing. After a while, Landry first said:
“It’s true that this is the only possibility left. We shouldn’t give up this clue just because of the previous events.”
After all, he smiled bitterly and looked at everyone: “Why are you doing this expression? Do you think I am the kind of man who will leave a psychological shadow forever after being hit once?”
Lance patted him on the shoulder and said kindly: “Don’t think too much, work, we are just considering the danger level of that place.”
“Undoubtedly, it’s extremely dangerous.” Landry said with lingering fear: “The Forbidden Forest is a forbidden zone, and it is shrouded in mist, and I don’t know where it leads. This mysterious place is like a treasure. The buried ruins. If it weren’t for Lance, I would have almost died there…”
“That’s why we used that place as the last place to explore.” Lance sighed, “It would be great if we could find the entrance of Sivarre elsewhere… Sure enough, do we still want to take risks? Dora, your ancestors. What do you want to do?”
Dora also looked puzzled and shrugged: “How do I know? The only clear instruction I got was to find the golden sword. In addition, I learned that Sivareli has a lot of wealth and treasures, and there are also a lot of them. Dangerous. I have shared the second stage prophecy with you, and I don’t know more than you.”
After that, she spread out the white paper, and saw that all the blank areas on it were crossed. Only in one corner of the southeast was a big question mark.
At the edge of the question mark, there was also a scribbled evaluation: Forbidden zone, highly dangerous.
“Get a rest early. The only good news is that the place is visually below the snow line, and there will be no ice or snow obstructing our vision. We must maintain sufficient energy. There are not many days before the summer solstice, and we will leave early tomorrow.”
Lance said firmly: “I am responsible for watching the night tonight, and there is just one spell to review.”
No one opposed Lance’s arrangement, and the rest of them went back to the tent, but Dora stayed.
“why do not you sleep?”
Lance asked casually, and at the same time he took out his magic book, and began to silently review the spells of a few second-level witchcraft he had just learned. His casting speed of these second-level witchcrafts is not fast enough, and some witchcrafts cannot be used to cast spells on the move. He must always concentrate on overcoming these difficulties. With his mental power, there is no problem even if he doesn’t sleep for a week.
“Can’t sleep.” Dora replied simply.
Lance uttered “Oh” and didn’t say more, just quietly flipping through the magic book with dense notes by the campfire.
After a while, Dora’s voice rang: “I found out that you are quite cute when you are serious.”
“Cute?” Lance closed the book in surprise, and pointed to himself: “Are you describing me?”
The girl nodded.
“For a man, this is not a good compliment.” He rubbed his nose, a little uncomfortable with Dora’s attitude.
“What you should pay more attention to is the qualifier in front.” Dolanunu said: “Especially when reading a book.”
“Okay, but don’t I suddenly become obnoxious when I’m not reading?”
Lance asked with interest.
“It’s not enough, it’s just a little…a bit damnable.”
“You have too many secrets. Although I know this is your way to protect yourself, I still don’t like this style of behavior.”
“Actually, what I am most curious about is that you are obviously only sixteen or seventeen years old. Why do you look like a thirty or forty-year-old uncle? Your words and deeds can easily make people ignore your appearance, and only you At the moment you read the book, you will reveal some temperament that fits your age—looks like the son of an elegant nobleman.”
Dora whispered: “Actually, you already knew that the forbidden zone is the real entrance, right?”
Lance was silent for a while, and the content of Dora’s words changed so quickly that he was a little surprised. The first few sentences seemed to be still chatting, but the tone changed suddenly and turned into questioning.
Obviously, she didn’t jump too fast in her thinking, but deliberately. The purpose was to catch Lance by surprise.
She didn’t give Lance a chance to answer, but went on talking to herself: “I asked Landry. He said that when he was attacked by that unknown force, he heard a cry of crying. There were babies. , There are women too. It’s in that cypress forest. And you were there at the time, and you saved him.”
“But then you didn’t mention a word. Those four lines of poems, you must be familiar with them.”
Dora looked directly at Lance with wide eyes.
The latter smiled slightly and suddenly said: “[The Coffin of the Indus, The Weeping Wood].”
“That’s it.” Dora said calmly, “Landry didn’t care about this because he was too frightened; the rest of the people were not present. I also asked him privately this morning to get this clue. But you are different, you knew it a long time ago, right?”
“I’m just skeptical.” Lance said without evasiveness: “Everything must be investigated clearly in order to act. What if it is a coincidence? Or is it Landry’s illusion? Did we just rush in because of such a clue? Don’t you? I don’t think this is necessary. Rather than taking a risk, I’d better spend more time and check other places. Do you think I have a problem?”
Dora looked at him suspiciously, and Lance looked calm.
The two were silent for a while, and the former shook his head: “I’m just asking.”
After that, she stood up, left by the campfire, and returned to her tent.
Lance sat there quietly, shook his head slightly. After a while, the seal ring that had been worn on the ring finger of his right hand became slightly hot.
“Another one died… This time he didn’t even walk over half of it. This is a real jungle tiger.”
Lance felt a little heavy.
Just as Dora said, he did find out what was wrong with the forbidden forest in the first place. So he used the seal ring to control some beasts to find the way, but for a few days, all the beasts sent out by Lance died tragically, and the feedback from the shared vision was very little-tonight he sent a jungle tiger , But still dead on the way.
He didn’t even see the face of the murderer. I only saw a black whirlwind rising in the forest, and the beasts often died tragically on the spot. Lance also lost the shared vision.
“It’s really weird.” He thought silently: “The last time I was with Landry, it was just on the edge of the forbidden forest. He was attacked inexplicably, both physical and magical, all sorts of things, although It’s messy, but I almost didn’t kill Landry. Although I rescued him, I didn’t see the enemy’s face. Could it be that he is really an invisible monster?”
“You can’t even see the enemy’s face. It is really troublesome to go to the Forbidden Forest tomorrow… At least the three first-level wizards of them secretly saved their lives. It’s really embarrassing.”
Lance smiled bitterly and shook his head, took a deep breath, and said to himself:
“The night is still long, think about it again.”
…
In the early morning of the next day, on the mountainside of a small mountain in the north of Shanshan Mountain.
The five people stood in parallel, and in front of them was a dense cypress forest. From the outside, this forest was no different from other places.
The same gloomy blue, the same tall and dim-only those who have experienced its dangerous places can truly feel its uniqueness.
Since approaching the woods, Landry’s face has become paler. It can be seen that he has tried his best to control himself, but still shows a trace of fear.
The encounter a few days ago gave him too much excitement. He was attacked by an enemy hidden in the dark. In an instant, more than ten first-level spells hit him. His defensive spells were shattered. If Lance hadn’t decisively blocked most of the spells for him, I’m afraid he is dead long ago. If so, there was still a flame arrow grazing his heart, hitting his left arm, almost burning his chest.
Although the spell attack alone is unprepared, it will not make a determined wizard feel fear, but what makes him feel terrifying is that from beginning to end, he has not seen the enemy at all!
This is undoubtedly a very devastating thing.
“Are you sure you want to go in?” Dora said solemnly: “Obviously, we don’t know much about this forest. The only thing we know is that magic is forbidden here, and everyone’s witchcraft and magic will be suppressed by a mysterious force. , Lance and I will be suppressed by half, while your strength is estimated to be only 30%.”
The three looked at each other, although a little afraid, they all chose to nod their heads resolutely.
This is the end of the matter, and they cannot give up halfway. Ferendor can’t go back, and the resources that can be provided to them in the Star Tower are also very limited. If you want to make a further breakthrough, you must find the true burial place of the Dora family treasure.
According to Dora, her breakthrough and promotion stemmed from a “Secret Apple” left by her ancestors. Mortals who eat this kind of apple can become advanced apprentices in one fell swoop; after taking them, they can be promoted smoothly to second-level wizards. .
Dora got only one of this secret apple. But in Sivare Castle, it is said that there are seven secret apple trees! As long as they can get one, they will be able to successfully advance to the second-level wizard, standing side by side with Dora and Lance. It is impossible for them to refuse such a temptation!
After all, if you practice alone, you may not be able to succeed for many years. Before today, they had already thought about the joints, so naturally they would not shrink back.
As for Reims, the purpose of looking for Sivare Castle is also very clear. Naturally, it is to become stronger!
On the road to wizards, his needs are infinite, and resources are limited. Between infinity and finiteness, witchcraft resources are inevitably scarce. He needs a lot of things, including magic compression, magic refining methods, all kinds of witchcraft secrets, and the way to promote the third-level wizard in the future, and so on.
These things are not available in the Blacklands, Ferendor may be able to, but God knows whether the Underworld people have turned it into a piece of hell; the rest of the places, such as the Blue Mountains and the Black Gold Fort, are too far away. , I don’t know how much danger it will take to arrive along the way, so I might as well follow Dora to find Sivare Castle.
Coupled with his current strength, it is impossible to back down because of a little danger.
…
“In that case, let’s go.” Dora looked at Lance intentionally or unintentionally.
The latter groaned for a moment, and walked in in a stride: “I’ll be the first, you guys follow.”
At the moment, the five men entered in one file and walked from under the scorching sun into the shade of the dense forest.
Everyone felt a lot heavier when they walked into this place. The magical power that was originally extremely active was suppressed by a mysterious force and became much silent.
Lance walked forward step by step, because the seal ring could share vision with the sealed animal, so he was fairly familiar with this forest.
Entering the forest, he looked around, and chose a fairly safe route, all the way forward.
Step by step, he walked on the thick and wide leaf pile, and heard a nice sound of leaf breaking under his feet.
Everyone’s attention is highly concentrated, holding the staff, ready to cast spells at any time.
Only Lance walked unhurriedly, as if strolling in a leisurely courtyard.
At the beginning, his magic power was indeed suppressed a bit, but after going deep into the forest, he suddenly found that the situation had changed——
The originally silent magic power suddenly became a lot more active, he observed carefully, but found that it was due to the heart of the evil demon!
After this mysterious heart encountered the seal of the Night Demon, its magical power seemed to have been reduced a lot due to the influence of the seal. The auditory hallucinations and illusions that had often appeared were all disappeared; but the benefits of timely replenishment of magic power and strengthening of physical fitness are one thing. None of them disappeared, which made Lance a little grateful to the Night Demon.
For a long period of time, this heart was very peaceful, and I even almost forgot it when I was in Reims.
But in this forest, this heart seems to be vaguely awakened under the action of some mysterious power…
“Boom!”
The sound of his heartbeat became louder and louder, ringing rhythmically in Lance’s ears, and the five-hundred-point magic power became restless, and Lance could only suppress them with his will.
But the vigilance in his eyes grew stronger.
To make the heart of the evil spirits become so excited, this forest forbidden must be weird.
“I think something is wrong.”
At this moment, the silent savage wizard rarely spoke.
“What’s the matter?” Lance asked a little surprised.
“This forest, although it looks normal, has no smell or smell of trees.” Sacra walked to a cypress tree and gently stroked the rough bark.
Suddenly, he pressed the bark with his right hand and slid down gently. In the next second, a line of blood dripped from the palm of his hand.
He silently wrapped his right hand with a handkerchief, and then used a healing stone to heal the scar on his palm.
The eyes of everyone looking at the cypress tree immediately changed.
Where is a tree… It is clearly a knife!
Lance frowned, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a cry of tears!
At first it was the cry of a baby, and then it turned into a woman’s.
In the long dense forest, the sky suddenly darkened. There is a mist over the sky.
The woman’s cries approached from far away, and in the next second, it sounded behind him!
