Chapter 28 The Fire
"We only need three of us to come today." The next morning, Shuer pulled Dark, and the two of them ran to the camp where the missing caravan was located, with Linda who was unknown.
This time, even Xinyue was not with him. According to Shuer, the clues that should be explored yesterday have been investigated. It is a waste of time for him to come with him. It is better to stay in the camp to strengthen defense. As the phenomenon of ghost space gradually fades away, a large number of scared monsters will definitely migrate back, which will inevitably induce a small beast tide. If the defense is not strengthened, if it is not affected by ghost space, it will cause a war loss in front of the beast tide, it would be too embarrassing.
It must be admitted that his worries make sense. Warcraft have their own familiar territory. They will indeed escape after being frightened, but they will definitely return later. Be careful. But Dak, who is familiar with Sul, can know without guessing that Sul cares about this little thing. He intends to open the crescent moon, probably for other purposes.
"It's true that there's no need for him to follow. I observed yesterday. What he is good at is the field tracking skills, not small-scale details, right."
Dak nodded. The Crescent Knight is indeed good at long-distance tracking in the field. He can only rely on tracking skills to follow hundreds or even thousands of kilometers behind a unit, and even the troops' daily camping time and rough operations can be seen, but he can't find out all the details that may be problematic in a camp.
"So, what can I do?" Linda was puzzled. She had been thinking about the reason why Shuer asked her to come along, but unfortunately, she could not keep up with Shuer's thinking.
"You don't have to be nervous, and you won't be in danger." Shure comforted, "You know the caravan better than us, and you just left the caravan's camp shortly before the incident. Therefore, the first-hand information you have happened to be something we lack. When you need your help to provide clues, we will ask you directly. Other times, it's enough for you to follow and watch."
"Okay, I'll do my best." Linda couldn't be sure whether she could meet Shuer's request, but from her position, she couldn't refuse. She could only sigh, "If you don't do it well, I hope you don't blame me."
"I won't blame you. Your task is to provide information and we will do the exploration ourselves. Huh, it would be great if Marca Jaylen was there." Shure sighed regretfully, missing his teammates in Zhuying's team, "If Mia and Marca Jaylen were there, it would be much more convenient than now."
"Maca Jaylen? Is your halfling friend?" Dark and the halfling had only met once, and had never cooperated with each other, so they were not familiar with each other. "It's a thief, no wonder, thieves are best at exploring small-scale details."
"Well, but this is nonsense. They are sure that no one can come over, and they can't catch up with us. And having two of us is enough. If there are too many people, it will be a problem. This is the main reason why I didn't let Xinyue follow him. Speaking to him in person will definitely hurt his self-esteem, so I can only use this method." Shuer thought for a while and added, "Today, I plan to go to the tents for the banquet. Since Malian and the others are missing there, we must check it out, otherwise no problem can be solved just by thinking out of thin air."
"Hiss, have you decided?" Dark was not a fool who was ignorant of the importance. Of course, he understood how dangerous it would be to break into the missing position of Marlene. With Shure's courage, he didn't even dare to enter yesterday, which could explain everything.
He did not intend to persuade Shur to go in, and even himself did not intend to approach those tents easily. After all, staying outside and finding a way is much more effective than actually falling into it. At most six days later, if you can't think of a way to rescue Malian and the others, Dark will try to enter the big tent and explore it for the last time, which is also a lasting effort.
But unexpectedly, Shuer actually offered to approach the most dangerous place and go in today, which made him stare at Shuer strangely, as if he had just met him.
"Don't stare at me like this. I'll go in sooner or later. Based on the legendary situation inside the ghost space, it's better to get earlier than later." Shuer said with a smile. "I thought about it for a long time last night and almost didn't sleep all night. I thought about it a lot about ghost space. Combined with our personal experience, I discovered some issues that need to be confirmed. These all need... Well, it has arrived."
While speaking, the caravan's camp had already appeared in front of him. The camp was still immersed in a dead silence. The open doors were like big open mouths, waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.
Seeing the gate, Linda couldn't help but tremble. She didn't hide it from her last night, or it didn't hide it from the parasites. Everyone already knew what had happened. Thinking of four powerful knights breaking into the gate in front of her, and then going back forever. Thinking about the fact that she actually broke in early yesterday morning, Linda couldn't help but feel scared.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to return safely. If I was lost in that haunted space like four knights, there would be no hope of survival.
Linda was afraid that Shuer and Dark would not. When they explored the camp for the second time, the two of them felt much more relaxed, at least not as cautious as the first time. Through previous experience, although they didn't know what the state inside the ghost space was, at least they were safe outside the space. As long as they were not sucked in like Marlin and the others, there would be no sudden danger, and at least there would be no physical danger.
Near the gate, everything was like when I left yesterday, and there were no traces of hidden tripwires. Obviously, not only did no one come here all night, but even small animals dared not approach it.
After checking a few tripwires, Dark smiled bitterly, and he really couldn't tell whether this was a good or a bad thing. Without animals approaching, at least it would not damage the scene, so that the details of the camp could be kept as they were. But then again, the animals did not dare to approach, which means that the deterrent power of the ghost space has not subsided and is still closely connected with the real world. In this way, Marlin and the others are more likely to come back, but the possibility of their own repeating the same mistake is also not low.
However, now I don’t have time to consider these things. The most important thing now is to follow Shuer to find the information he wants to know.
Passing through the open camp gate, Duke looked at the base of the wooden stakes, and of course the mark left by Malin was still engraved there, without any difference from what I saw yesterday.
"What's wrong with you?" Dark turned around and found that Shuer was in a bad state. His eyes were staring at Malin's mark. What he had never seen in Shuer's eyes was the emotions he had never seen in Shuer's eyes.
fear.
Before, when fighting side by side in the Shadow World, several people joined forces to fight against many powerful enemies, including many extremely powerful opponents who seemed invincible. Even when facing them, Dark had never seen them. Shuer showed fearful eyes. He even thought that people like Shuer had no idea what fear was.
Unexpectedly, today I finally saw Shuer in fear, but why was the object of his fear a mark that he had seen before?
"Shuel, Shuel." Dark shouted loudly, "Sobert, what have you seen?"
"Huh, nothing." Dak shouted a few times, and then Cure woke up as if he was dreaming. He smiled reluctantly and shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just something bad."
Liaring is definitely a fraud.
Dark could see at a glance that Shure must have not told the truth. His eyes at that time were definitely not related to the scattered and unscrupulous expressions of other things. The things he feared must have been related to the mark left by Malin.
However, Dak did not continue to ask questions. After working together so many times, he had long been used to Shuer's habit of pretending to be mysterious in everything and never saying it clearly until the end. Since he didn't want to say it, it was useless to ask questions. Therefore, Dak could only glar at him dissatisfiedly and said angrily: "If you have nothing to do, don't block the door, and no one will tie you to the door to watch the door."
"I did find a little abnormality, but it's not that I pretended to be mysterious. If I don't say it, I don't want to put too much pressure on you." Shul sighed and reluctantly explained, "Let's keep going first, don't worry, I will definitely tell you everything in the future."
"I hope so." Dark's attitude eased a little, "What should I do now?"
"You check the left, I check the right, Linda follows me, and finally meets at the missing location of Malin and the others." Shure reminded, "Check carefully."
"What are you looking for?"
"There is no fixed goal, and you will record anything you think is questionable first." Shuer said thinking, "By the way, there is one thing that needs special attention. Don't touch anything in the camp."
"Hmm? Including the ground? Then I can't do it."
"Nonsense, it certainly does not include these, and the ground belongs to the camp." Shure rolled his eyes, "It refers to the things that will affect them after you touch them, such as tables and chairs, decorations, and even those goods. In short, don't touch anything randomly, just look at it with your eyes. Note that you don't have to worry about what looks normal."
"I know, no problem." Dark nodded, "You want to find something that might be a medium?"
"Yes, no one knows what the medium refers to, so we can only find out everything we find strange."
"No wonder you have to bring her." Dark finally understood Shuer's purpose. "She knew what the original camp should be like, and she could judge abnormal conditions better than us."
"That's right." Shul was laughing, but there was no smile in his eyes, but instead became more and more serious. "Now, you and Linda need to judge the first strange thing."
Following Shuer's gaze, the two of them fell on the fireworks with a faint smoke in the center of the camp. It was yesterday, which led to a series of accidents later.
