Chapter 1,487 The Crisis Is Coming
I tentatively moved the things on the stall, but the stall owner still didn't respond. Even when he poked the stall owner with his finger, he still looked like a dead person who didn't care.
Ezio deliberately threw the wooden bowl in his hand, causing some noise. The three of them immediately looked in three directions. They were nervous, but also wanted to see what reaction it would cause.
But everything is business as usual...
This is something quite abnormal.
No longer focusing on the stall in front of them, Ezio and Kish both looked in the same direction. Rowan followed the gaze of the two men. And this look also made her see something fishy.
There are still different opinions on whether there is a sixth sense on earth, and there is no conclusion. The most important thing is that this thing cannot undergo effective scientific verification or data analysis, so earth scientists can only say no.
But in Lost Land, this can be regarded as a prominent skill. Regardless of whether it is a warrior or a magician, when one's skills reach a high level, there will always be some connection with the external environment. If there are any abnormal changes in the environment, it will certainly stimulate the attention of these people.
If the person involved is a believer in a certain god, it would be even simpler. One of the divine favors is danger prediction, which is a permanent additional attribute.
It's just that this danger prediction is not a situation and will work at any time. Basically, those who are opposed to the god who bestowed divine grace on them, and even those who can be regarded as their old enemies, will definitely react, and sometimes there will be situations where the camps are in opposition.
Therefore, this kind of danger prediction is rather due to the fact that he is on the same side. Then when he meets his boss's opponent, the extra attention from his boss will make him feel uncomfortable all over. It's not really a warning of danger.
However, both Ezio and Kish would react at the same time. On the one hand, it is related to their talents and backgrounds, and on the other hand, it also shows how big the crisis is. Kish took the shield on his back into his hands and tightened the straps on his arms.
Ezio relaxed his left hand, ready to pop out his hidden sword at any time. At the same time, he took out the ordinary long sword from his waist and held it in his right hand.
Seeing that the two people next to him were so careful about their affairs, Luo Wen was certainly not an ignorant novice. But she just took off the horn bow she was carrying and held it in her hand. This kind of preparation is enough for her to deal with various emergencies and fire quickly.
The strange atmosphere that aroused the three people's alarm has actually been there since they approached the ghost market. It's just that the outside is relatively sparse. The further you go in a certain direction, the more obvious the feeling of disgust coming from your bones will be.
Later, even Rowan felt the strong unpleasantness. Even the air seemed to be filled with a foul stench, a smell of sulfur...
Suddenly a warning flashed through the minds of the three people. They looked at each other, maybe that was the answer.
Not far away, there was a loud noise. As the pace progressed, the sound became more pronounced.
Ezio slowed down, bowed his body, and walked cautiously toward the mountain wall and the shadows among the trees. The two people at the back followed suit, bowed and walked the catwalk.
Especially Kish, he walked even more cautiously because he was fully armored. Fortunately, the joints had been specially treated, and he had mastered many techniques to still move silently while wearing this outfit, so he didn't cause too much noise.
As they got closer to the top of a hill, the three Ezios lowered their bodies lower. In the end, they simply lay on the ground and crawled forward.
They arrived at the ghost market near noon, and the current season is summer. Even if the Sulitan Empire is located in the north, it should be warm at noon. But the fact is that a chill from the bottom of my heart becomes more and more obvious as I advance.
When they finally climbed to the highest point on the hill, they looked out and saw a horrifying and frightening scene.
It was originally a hilly terrain, but now a huge pit has been dug out. There are layers on top of each other at the edge, with scaffolding erected to connect the top and bottom. There is also a wooden lifting arm that is rotating to transport the objects on the platform to the upper or lower level.
There are also various strangely shaped fire pits and stoves burning brightly. Because there are many demons and orcs walking in it, forging weapons and armor.
There was also a phalanx of orcs or little demons assembled, shouting and shouting, training each other's cooperation and movement.
In the center of the pit is a tall independent portal. The thick gate pillars that need to be surrounded by several people, or the horizontal door rails, are all composed of miscellaneous and tangled human bodies. As for whether those people were human sacrifices or just statues, Ezio didn't even consider it.
Under the living doorpost, it is not possible to see the scene on the other side at a glance. Instead, there were clouds of black smoke gathering and lingering. Occasionally, the smoke that ran out of range would swish back as if it had been attracted.
Seeing this strange scene, the three people lying on the hill knew what was going on, even if they were inexperienced.
After all, it involves the dark history of the gentleman in the family. It is said that a certain magician was originally the tower owner of a magic tower. The problem was that he was frightened by the door to the abyss that was about to open. Not only did he return his entire fortune to the Magician Association, but he also eventually left his hometown.
And near any portal, there will be a gathering of orcs, a race with an evil camp per capita, and demons, a specialty of the abyss.
This is a door to the abyss! Moreover, it has already been opened, and the abyss has sent a large number of troops to the complete abyss gate at one end of the puzzle.
Ezio immediately realized what he should do in this bright crisis. Anyway, I didn't rush forward, thinking that the three of me could break through the opened abyss door. No matter how many people there were, it wouldn't be enough to kill them. But to spread the information here so that the fans can prepare and even counterattack.
Judging from the current situation of this door, troops have already been assembled. Although I don’t know how many there are, and why the opponent hasn’t activated it yet. But the southern border of the Sulitang Empire, where the Gate of the Abyss is located, will inevitably become a scorched earth.
But for such a big thing, you can't just run back and yell a few times, and others will believe it. There is no definite evidence. Even if someone is willing to believe him, the matter is serious and it is inevitable that he will have to send someone to verify it. Going back and forth is just a waste of time.
Otherwise, let these demons rush out and wreak havoc. This saves you a lot of saliva, and you don't have to explain it to others until others believe it. Anyway, the devil is about to kill you right in front of you. Anyone who can close his eyes and shout "I don't believe" is dead.
But Ezio felt that he was not like that heartless magician, nor was he his biological father and son. That guy can still sleep soundly despite the sky falling apart outside. As a young man with great ambitions, he couldn't just sit back and watch the demons unite with the orcs to wreak havoc on the land.
As for how to obtain evidence that can convince others. If it had been a few years earlier, I might have found a way to sneak into the Gate of the Abyss camp and steal a few items with obvious demonic marks, preferably documents, secondly weapons, and at last, sundries with the aura of the abyss, to threaten others. Proof that the demonic invasion is real.
Especially paperwork. The abyss world and demons rarely use letters to communicate. To be able to resort to abyssal writing, in addition to the magical power of the writing itself, its content must also involve quite important secrets.
But this kind of thing is hard to come by. Ezio didn't even think about sneaking into the camp to search for this unknown thing.
His idea was simple. In the early years, photos for use in the forum mall already existed. After these years of development, although the mall system has not taken root outside the Southwest Peninsula, other regions have also relied on the forum to build their own blocks with similar functions.
Especially the area of taking pictures of products has also made great progress in technology. And people are not satisfied with using this technology only to take photos for selling goods. Some adventurers who travel around also like to use this method to record their lives.
For adventurers, one of the great advantages of doing this is that they have evidence to show when they brag. What a great asset. Another hidden benefit is that when you die outside, you can still leave some clues for others to know about yourself during your lifetime.
However, Ezio was not yet ready for such a fashionable hobby. The most important thing was that he did not have any spare money on hand. The water mirror magic stone can be connected to the forum. If you bring your own magic stone, the cost of the forum system is only one gold coin. This is an incredibly cheap magic item.
But based on the magic of the Arcane Eye, the magic stone that can be used to take photos is worth a lot of money. In addition to the genuine version produced by a certain magician, there are also many pirated copies made by other magicians. Although the Magicians Association in the Lost Land has taken a prototype to protect intellectual property rights, it is still full of loopholes.
Unfortunately, no matter which version it is, it is not affordable for Ezio.
It's just that he can't afford it, and there are people around him who can afford it. Ezio immediately signaled to Rowan who was lying next to him.
Although they were lying on a hill, they were still quite far away from the Gate of the Abyss camp, so even if they spoke, no demon or orc would be able to hear them. However, the shocking scene in front of them still scared the three young people so much that they did not dare to make a sound and even moved cautiously.
Rowan looked at Ezio making weak gestures, and was a little confused at first. They have designed tactical gestures, but those things only have a simple communication effect and do not include everything. So it is normal to not understand what Ezio wants to express.
But after a few rounds of gestures, Luo Wen also figured it out. Even if you don’t understand it at first, it’s not difficult to understand what the best approach is based on the current situation. She quickly took out a thumb-sized cat's eye stone from the silk brocade bag that was close to her.
This is a photographic stone made cheaply from Sister Kaya and made with the best carrier of the Arcane Eye. It was designed and made by Mr. himself. Normally, she could regard this stone as life. If I could leave anything to this world, it would be my own travel pace stored in the cat's eye stone.
Now this cat's eye stone has a more important mission. After Rowan took out the stone, he aimed it at the Gate of the Abyss camp.
