Chapter 688 - v4c68 Milos Breath (2/2)

“My father mentioned that the forest is immersed in darkness all day long and that there are some glowing pale people under the night that lurk in the trunks of the trees who attack travelers who pa.s.s through it. My father said they were the ghosts of those who were lost, and spent their days looking for victims who could replace them.” Peya replied in a small voice.

Everything she said was almost accurate and Brendel was surprised. It seemed like the female hunter’s father had entered the forest. The first area of Milos’ Dying Breath was the Forest of Night, which was as she had described it, there was the only night, never day, and there were all sorts of dangers lurking in the night.

But it was the easiest piece of area of this pre-quest. There was not any specific plot to this area, there were quite a few monster lairs and some special random events, and it all depended on the player’s luck as to what he could encounter.

He was familiar with this forest from the walkthrough. But Peya’s father’s notes could help him understand the forest from another perspective, and Brendel suddenly realized that his decision was beneficial.

“Would we be able to spot them?” The young prince, who seemed to lack natural resistance to these mysteries, gripped his sword and asked with a bit of a pale face. “I have a jewel, it can detect the Undead in advance.”

“The Psychic Gem.” Laurenna seemed to know quite a bit about magic items and instantly reacted to what Haruz was talking about. “Young prince, it would be great if you had that item. Ghosts and spirits are unpredictable and dangerous, and the Psychic Gem can keep them at bay.”

“I have a different opinion, you’d better put that thing away.” Brendel, however, interrupted their conversation and turned back to Peya, “What your father saw wasn’t a ghost, although it looked like one. It was demonic spirits, they are very sensitive to magical items and are used to killing travelers who carry them and stealing their equipment.”

“Demonic spirits?” Firas was a little puzzled.

“They are a cruel kind of spirit. You’ve heard of the mages who became mad in pursuit of the mysteries of magic, some of whom turned to delve into how to control the dark magic, but most of them failed. The Dark Magic that rushes in will tear their bodies apart in an instant, but their purest souls remain, one with the magic they loved most in life. But of course, these mages can no longer be called human at this point, their minds are reduced to nothing more than a hint for magic, and beyond that, they are more akin to beasts. ”

Brendel explained calmly.

His words sent chills down the spine of most of the people present.

Only Ciel nodded, “My lord is not talking about the bedtime stories you have heard, as I can testify to that. There are indeed many of them in the history of mages, but why are there so many magical spirits here, how strange is that?”

“It’s simple, you’ll understand when you get in,” Brendel replied.

The party was now close to the wall of light, and it was only when they got closer that they could see the wall of light for what it was. It looked like a flowing wall of water, with the water elements bound to a thin surface and waves of light. As everyone approached it, the smooth surface mirrored the grotesque image of them being stretched.

Brendel reached out and touched the wall of light. This was to gain the approval of the EP Binding. The seal was, after all, a seal, and only the People of Order could pa.s.s through it safely and without fear, while the demons would be bound within forever.

The ripples on the wall of light flickered, and then the water receded to the sides, the scene was exactly as Brendel had seen it in his last life. Soon, a cavernous area about two people high and five people wide appeared on the blue wall of light. The hollow area revealed a corner of the Forest of Night behind it, and when Brendel squinted his eyes to look inside, the dark forest was exactly like the one he had seen.

But even amid the dark forest, there were stars floating around. Only that it was not a good thing, because Brendel knew that nine times out of ten, the living things in this forest would not have good intentions.

He stepped inward, one step into the forest that was forever shrouded in the silent night, then turned around and said to the people outside.

“Please come in, and welcome to the forest of eternal night-”
