Chapter 284: Strange Forest
As Qin Weijie expected, the knights of the Round Table did not attack the ordinary villagers. They just erased the villagers' memories before leaving, and also erased the memory of Qin Weijie taking Quluo in. How can the Knights of the Round Table meet after all? He can also be regarded as one of the supporters of the "Secrecy Act".
In other words, from the currently known history of the magical world, it can be seen that the promotion of the "Secret Law" at that time was probably promoted by the camp of the God Imprisoners. Therefore, in the face of Qin Weijie and others who did not abide by the rules at all, Erasing traces of its existence is a routine operation.
"Captain Jason, based on the Legilimency of the villager just now, the target group of three people walked north and entered a forest in the north. The villager separated from the three of them at the edge of the forest." A knight bowed Reporting to the leader, Captain Jason.
Captain Jason nodded, looked at the crowd and said: "The heroic knights of the Fourth Knights of the Round Table and the Seventh Team are tracking the target through the woods!"
"yes!"
A group of nearly twenty cavalrymen slowly walked into the woods. Because the woods were overgrown with vines, the speed of the horses was restricted, and in some places they had to dismount and move forward.
The forest was extremely quiet, not even a chirping of birds or insects could be heard. What was even more strange was that when a group of Knights of the Round Table walked into the depths of the forest, a mist suddenly appeared in the forest. The mist came from nowhere, gathered together and never dispersed. Even the magic is hard to blow away.
Captain Jason stretched out his hand to signal the team to stop advancing: "Alert around, there is a problem here! Tes and McCono led three people in two teams to investigate the surrounding area. Remember not to go too far. Meet here in twenty minutes! The rest! People stay where they are and be on guard!”
Not long after, the four-man team headed by Tes returned to the place: "Captain Jason, we investigated around and found that there were mirrors placed on all the trees. The styles of the mirrors were different. They were the same as those hanging in that village. The mirror is almost the same, nothing else is wrong.”
"Mirror!? Could this be a unique custom of that village?" Jason thought for a moment and looked up at Thes: "Has the source of the fog been found?"
Tes shook his head: "It seems to have appeared out of thin air. We have also investigated and found that these are ordinary fogs and there is nothing abnormal. By the way, one more thing, we found that the vines in this forest are a bit strange..."
After listening to Thes's words, Jason lowered his head and looked at the vines at his feet.
Most of the vines in the forest are caused by the exposed roots of trees or the growth of vine-like plants. They are all wood-colored or slightly green in color. However, the vines in this forest are mixed with some dark red wood vines. If not If you look carefully, you may miss these red vines.
"Red vines? Is this some kind of special plant?"
Tes shook his head: "It's not some special plant rhizome. We have checked that these red wooden vines are the rhizomes or vines of these ordinary trees, but for some reason some vines have mutated, which are these red vines. "
It has to be said that the knights of the Knights of the Round Table still have two brushes. They are so meticulous in their observation that they can even detect the different colors of the vines. Their investigation of the surrounding environment is also remarkable. In just one inspection, the nearby trees were completely covered with brushes. I remember all the locations where the mirror should be hung.
"Well, I didn't detect any magic fluctuations...but we can't take it lightly and continue to be vigilant." Jason said, frowning slightly and looking at Thes: "McCuno hasn't come back yet? It's been twenty minutes!"
"Micuno should come back before us?" Thes was also a little confused at this time.
At this moment, the noisy sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the fog. Jason frowned and looked into the fog. The other knights also looked cautiously into the depths of the fog.
A moment later, four familiar figures rushed out of the fog, it was McCono who had not returned for a long time.
However, before anyone could ask, the four of McCuno rushed towards the large army without any explanation. They slashed with the giant sword in their hands, their eyes were blood red, and they looked like they were going to fight desperately.
"Micuno! Are you crazy! Why did you attack us?" Jason took the lead in blocking Micuno and drew out his knight's sword to resist Micuno's powerful sword.
McCuno's eyes were blood red and he shouted sternly: "Don't try to confuse the heroic knights! You monsters!"
As he spoke, McCuno couldn't help but start fighting with Jason.
Four people faced off against eighteen people. There was obviously no advantage in numbers, so one can imagine the final result.
In less than five minutes, the four of McCuno were subdued. Three knight swords were pressed on each of their necks. The slightest movement would result in their heads being separated.
Now McCuno finally calmed down: "Are you real? Captain Jason? Are you the real Captain Jason?"
Jason pondered and looked at McCuno: "What's going on? What happened? Why did you launch an attack on us!?"
"Captain, there is a problem in this forest. We just met a group of people... four people..." McCuno took a deep breath and continued: "Those four people turned out to be ourselves... They attacked us without any explanation. The move abilities are exactly the same as ours...and we also met 'you'."
"Meet us?"
"Yes, they look exactly like you, but they launched an attack on us. The four of us ran away and were slightly injured. We bumped around aimlessly in the forest, and finally passed through the fog and met you. I thought it was another pair of people, so I subconsciously attacked you..." McCuno said, still a little scared.
After hearing what Macuno said, Captain Jason also felt the weirdness of the forest and immediately ordered: "Everyone, follow me and leave the forest immediately!"
Captain Jason turned his horse's head and returned to the way everyone came.
Captain Jason was still cautious. He didn't know what dangers he would encounter on the road ahead, so it was safer to go back at this time.
However, an hour later, everyone finally found something wrong.
Tess looked at a crooked tree in front of him, frowned and stopped Captain Jason: "Captain, it's that tree again. I remember we have walked past this tree three times!"
Jason was silent. In fact, he had already noticed what Tess said.
It was only 20 minutes since everyone entered the forest. It was very strange that they had walked back for an hour and still hadn't left.
In addition to the repeated scenes, Jason had already discovered that something was wrong here. The reason why he still led the team forward was just to observe it again, and it would be best if he could find out where everyone entered this weird lost cycle.
However, the result disappointed Jason. 40 minutes had passed since the discovery of the repeated scene and the opening of Tess's mouth, and everyone had passed through two repeated scenes.
During this period, Jason deliberately walked in different directions, but in the end they all returned to the original place, which made Jason sure that everyone had entered a strange cycle, which was probably formed by the effect of space magic. Everyone should now have entered a space similar to the "second-level domain" of the Knights of the Round Table.
Some of the physical laws should have been modified or distorted, which caused everyone to enter a strange cycle.
However, after observation, Jason found that although there was a shadow of the "second-level domain" in this strange forest, it was not just a superposition of the "second-level domain".
The fog that could not be dispelled, the other team mentioned by Macuno, the strange vines of different colors in the forest, and the strange mirror hanging in the forest. At this time, there was no explanation... Captain Jason couldn't help but feel a little panic.
"Sure enough, every time I face the child of the Fuli family, I will encounter unexpected things..." Jason sighed, and couldn't help but recall the first confrontation with Qin Weijie a few days ago.
