Chapter 3061 The Fog Dissipates
After confirming that the illusion could be broken, Witch Sharon felt more relaxed. She did not bother Axe and Stoop anymore, but focused on dealing with another matter.
The guards of the Guman royal family have arrived!
Through the observation of the wizard's eye, there are no official wizards among the royal guards who came, which is consistent with the message from Paganini.
Without official wizards, it will be much easier.
The only thing to pay attention to is the possible spy among the guards.
The background of the spy belongs to the camp of one of the two choices. If it is a spy sent by the wizard organization, it is fine; but if it is a spy from an extreme sect, it is not good. After all, although they are human beings, they have lived in the wilderness for many years, and the extreme sects are very sensitive to the breath of the other world.
Once they are targeted by the extreme sects because of the details, the consequences are somewhat unpredictable.
However, Witch Sharon also thinks of the worst case scenario. In the real reality, once the heart is prepared in advance, there are many ways to avoid the worst case scenario.
In the end, Witch Sharon chose a simple and crude method: deterrence.
She summoned several human-faced spirits and integrated them into the many ancient trees outside the forest. In an instant, human faces appeared on the weathered skin of these ancient trees... Looking closely, they looked like tree people.
These human-faced ancient trees are the first link in Witch Sharon's plan.
The human-faced ancient trees have no combat power. Their purpose is just to use words to intimidate and dissuade the guards from approaching the forest.
And its rhetoric only needs to revolve around one core: there is a powerful black wizard in the forest.
Regardless of whether the guards were able to retreat in the end, as long as the guards knew that the black wizard appeared in the forest, they could directly enter the second link.
Witch Sharon will appear as a black wizard and face the guards in person. And whether to trap or kill them afterwards depends on Witch Sharon's mood.
After all, she was "kind" to place the human-faced ancient trees outside the forest to dissuade the group of people from leaving. If you don't leave, you have to bear the consequences of not leaving.
As for talking to the black wizards about reason? Forget it, they are not white wizards.
Isn't it generally acknowledged that black wizards act irrationally?
This is the plan of Witch Sharon. It is very simple and crude. To put it bluntly, if you don't listen to the kind advice, you must be prepared to accept the punishment of the stick.
It is enough to create the idea of "everything is our own fault" for the group of guards.
Of course, there will be flaws and doubts. But the personality of the black wizard is here. Even if you want to doubt, you have to start with the black wizards.
There are no fewer black wizards in the wizarding world of the Southern Territory. By the time they really find the problem, it will probably be a long time later. And by then, it is hard to say whether Witch Sharon is still in the Southern Territory.
So, as long as the implementation is successful and the present is delayed, there is no need to worry about the future.
Soon, the plan began to proceed according to the arrangement of Witch Sharon.
The appearance of the ancient tree with a human face did surprise the group of guards. However, they also realized that the strength of the human-faced ancient tree was very weak and would not pose a threat to them. Therefore, they did not mind listening to what the human-faced ancient tree said.
Soon, the human-faced ancient tree planted the concept of "there are black wizards inside, do not enter" in their minds.
But as royal guards, they have always been arrogant in their behavior. Anyway, they have the support of King Guman behind them; what's more, this forest is located in the territory of the Kingdom of Guman, and King Guman is the most important.
Although they are also a little afraid of black wizards, they think that this place is not far from the king, and the other party may not dare to take action... Besides, they just want to see what happened, not to arrest on the spot.
What's more, whether there are black wizards inside is still a question mark.
Thinking of this, the royal guards continued to move forward.
In the process of their advancement, they encountered several human-faced ancient trees. These ancient trees changed their attitudes from intimidation at the beginning to persuasion later.
It was also the plan of Witch Sharon to create a "painstaking" setting for the human-faced ancient trees.
This setting has only one purpose: do your best.
In order to stop outsiders from snooping, so many ancient trees with human faces were released to dissuade people from entering the forest. This is already a very righteous act. If you still don't listen, it's your own fault.
Later, the royal guards were actually a little embarrassed. After all, the ancient trees with human faces looked full of goodwill, and they had been betraying their goodwill.
But in order to find out the problem here, they had to move forward. ——The situation in the Guman Kingdom is now tense, and King Guman has ordered a thorough investigation of any disturbance, so they also have the hardship of not being able to move forward.
Also because the guards' thoughts began to become complicated, when they really saw the "black wizard" wearing a black robe and a mask coming, they actually felt a subtle sense of relaxation in their hearts.
After that, it was naturally the performance of Witch Sharon.
As a formal wizard, and a powerful space wizard, it was easy for Witch Sharon to deal with this group of apprentices.
By this time, the witch Sharon had already appeared, so there were more ways to do it.
In front of the guards, she used the power of space to create a special forest maze nearby and threw the guards in.
"As long as you can get out of the maze, you can survive... However, I left some small gadgets in the maze, you'd better pray not to touch it."
"Good luck to you."
After leaving these two sentences, Witch Sharon's mission was basically completed.
She did leave something in the maze...that is, the space crack.
As long as they observe carefully, they still have a chance to find the space crack, but if they touch the crack without knowing the space crack, then with the strength of this group of apprentices, they will definitely die.
However, there is always a way to survive. What Witch Sharon said, "If you walk out of the maze, you can survive", is not a lie. She left an exit for this maze. As long as you explore slowly, there will definitely be a chance to get out.
Of course, there is another way, which can even save everyone.
That is to stay where you are after entering, and wait for King Guman to send people to rescue them, then everyone will be safe.
For Witch Sharon, whether they choose to explore the maze or wait for rescue, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they will definitely not be able to enter the forest in a short time, and her goal has been achieved.
After solving the "external disturbance", Witch Sharon returned to the vicinity of the fog, and now she is waiting to solve the "internal troubles".
Still on the top of the tall black fir tree, Witch Sharon quietly looked at the fog in the forest ahead.
At this moment, the fog in the forest is much thinner than at the beginning.
In other words, the fog illusion is weakening. At this rate, it won't take long to completely break through the fog illusion.
Thinking of this, Witch Sharon also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have solved the problem of the guards. How is the situation on your side?" Witch Sharon asked in the mind tie.
However, after a long time, no one on the other end of the mind tie said anything.
Witch Sharon just thought they were seriously breaking the fog, so she didn't care and continued to stay outside and wait silently. She even had the leisure to observe the actions of the guards in the maze of the woods.
It is worth mentioning that after these guards entered the maze, they were not as radical as when they entered the forest, but chose to stay where they were and wait for rescue.
However, not everyone is willing to stay for rescue. There are still some people who want to take the initiative.
Among those who took the initiative to attack, there are also two categories: one is to go alone and not to implicate others; the other is to hope to attack together with everyone.
Sharon witch found that among the second category of people, there were several people who seemed to be "fanning the flames". They did not suggest that everyone attack together, but secretly encouraged everyone's emotions.
For the authorities, they have not found anything wrong with these people; but Sharon, as a bystander, felt that their behavior was very strange.
Spies...maybe they came from these people.
Sharon witch observed these people with interest, secretly guessing who was the spy, and whether the camp behind the spy was a wizard organization or an extreme sect?
After observing for about five minutes, Sharon witch finally locked on a man and a woman.
These two apprentices had obvious signs of sensationalism, and their speaking format, content, and language structure to express their meaning were obviously different from others.
Generally speaking, different life backgrounds will lead to different ways of speaking; but now, the difference between these two people and others is not just a simple background difference, and even the difference in "values and cognition" is faintly emerging.
They may not have discovered it themselves, but Witch Sharon saw it clearly.
There may be a spy among these two people; it is even possible that both of them are spies.
"I seem to have discovered a spy among the guards... How about I go over and test it? Find out their background?" Witch Sharon said in the mind band.
Unfortunately... no one responded.
"Stop, Axe?" Witch Sharon hesitated for a moment and called their real names directly.
However, no one gave any feedback.
Sensing the quiet mind band, Witch Sharon felt a sense of emptiness inexplicably in her heart.
Something is wrong.
Even if she tried to crack the illusion seriously, she wouldn't call her name and she wouldn't answer, right? Could it be that there was a problem in the illusion?
Witch Sharon called several times in a row, but no matter how she called, there was no response.
At this moment, Sharon Witch had no time to care who was the spy. She jumped down the black fir tree without hesitation, and with a swooping posture, she penetrated into the fog with a puff.
After entering the foggy illusion, Sharon Witch immediately felt the familiar psychedelic feeling.
Everything around was white, and the five senses seemed to be confused.
However, this time Sharon Witch was not at a loss as she was when she was trapped in the ring before, because... the mind lace was not broken.
Illusion can confuse the five senses, but it can't cut off the connection of the mind.
She closed her eyes, closed all external perceptions, and just followed the guidance of the mind lace, step by step. And the direction she was moving was the depths of the fog.
After an unknown period of time, Sharon Witch felt that the connection of the mind lace seemed to be about to reach the end.
At this time, Sharon Witch opened her eyes.
There was still fog around, and no human figure could be seen.
Witch Sharon didn't pay attention to the fog, but focused on the end of the mind tie...
In theory, the end of the mind tie must be connected to Stoop and Axe. But now what Witch Sharon saw was a thicker fog.
This area covered by fog is only about ten meters square at present, and is roughly similar to other fogs around it, but it is thicker... and there seem to be more green veins in the fog, and even a faint green light.
Looking at the small fog area, Witch Sharon suddenly felt a little cold all over. This is not a change in external temperature, but a kind of "horror" from the heart.
It's like there is some kind of great terror ahead.
"I'm scaring myself." Witch Sharon murmured in a low voice. There was nothing here before, how could there be a great terror suddenly?
Witch Sharon was silent for a moment, and shouted loudly to the fog: "Can you hear me? Axe, Stoop?"
No response.
"It should be the fog that obscures the senses, and it was the same when I was on the ring before." Witch Sharon moved her throat, swallowed her saliva, and finally decided to go forward to take a look.
Because the end of the mind tie is in this fog.
In other words, Stoop and Axe should be in it.
"Paganini didn't warn Stolpe before, so I don't think it will be a big deal. Maybe they are just trapped. After I go in, I should be able to destroy this layer of fog with my strength." Sharon Witch talked to herself, as if to cheer herself up.
After speaking, Sharon Witch took a deep breath and walked quickly into the fog.
The fog swallowed up the figure of Sharon Witch, and soon, the surroundings returned to silence again.
The voice of Sharon Witch, who was still talking to herself, stopped abruptly because she entered the fog.
Time kept passing.
Without the energy support of the operator, the power of the green veins was also exhausted, and the world will of the wizard world suppressed the external energy system, which caused the speed of the green veins to be consumed faster and faster.
It also means that the existence of this fog will not be too long.
An hour later, the thick fog that swallowed Sharon Witch gradually faded, and it could be clearly seen that there was no human figure inside.
Four hours later, the fog surrounding the forest changed from thick to thin.
Two hours later, the fog completely disappeared, and the forest returned to its former tranquility under the morning light.
But after the fog disappeared, Witch Sharon, Stoop, and Axe still did not show up.
It was as if they had never been here.
Only the maze of trees in the distance showed the traces of Witch Sharon's existence.
