Chapter 402 Shadow Cursed Land

Nohir was right, there was indeed an accident on Jaheira's side.

Just three days ago, Master Jahira, Minsk, and Leon, who was also temporarily following them, but whose actual purpose was to continue the pilgrimage, accidentally discovered some secret information from the Harpers.

At that time, they had just entered the main fortress of the Dawn, and were about to continue along the Jonsa River towards Baldur's Gate. However, Master Jaheira, a high-level harpist, was in the villages surrounding the fortress. Discovered the code words left by the other Harpers.

Those code words showed that they seemed to have discovered some terrible secrets, and a colleague who had sacrificed sent some very dangerous signals, so at this time they were secretly gathering other Harpers, and the purpose was to investigate that An unknown source of danger from the Shadow Cursed Land.

As a high-level Harper, Jaheira, who has the most respected status in the entire Harper organization, naturally would not ignore this news. After discovering those marks, she decisively took the other two, no, it should be three powerful people. Aid joined in this operation.

Then they quickly headed towards Nohir's original destination, which was the Cursed Land of the Netherworld. By deliberately hurrying, they successfully entered that area a day ago and found the group at the outermost edge. The Harpers gathered in secret.

——

At the outermost edge of the Shadow Cursed Land, in a seemingly abandoned small wooden stronghold surrounded by fences, a group of about 30 people were quietly repairing inside.

Most of them wore civilian clothes, and then wrapped a layer of leather armor on the outside. Very few of them were equipped with chain armor or medium armor, which made their protection look a bit weak, but everyone in sight was holding various weapons. A variety of weapons.

Spears, swords, or farm tools such as dung forks made them look like a group of ragtag militiamen, rather than the prestigious Harpers who had been famous for a long time.

But they are indeed. The Harpers are a loose, corporate organization. There are no hard requirements for joining the Harpers. This organization is committed to maintaining the balance of the world and resolving the conflicts between civilization and nature, personal freedom and social order. conflict.

The Harpers have different backgrounds and come from various regions of Faerûn. Members usually have their own jobs, either as farmers or merchants. Their secret strongholds and supplies are spread throughout Faerûn, and this camp is where they are. One of the secret strongholds.

The members of this organization are all Harpers who joined because of their passion for maintaining peace and fighting against evil, and they are noble and do not ask for anything in return. It is precisely because of these characteristics that they, like the guerrillas, have almost no solution. Destroy them.

And they will not reveal their identity as harpists, and harpists do not have uniform clothing. Only the symbols of the silver moon and harp, and the oaths they abide by in their hearts can prove their existence.

At this time, in the central wooden house of this camp.

"Is everyone gathered? Jonas."

The speaker was a young woman in a red robe with wavy black hair, and the person she was talking to was a man in chain armor, carrying a crossbow, with golden hair combed into a ponytail, and a A young man with a neatly trimmed beard.

"We're all here, at least everyone in the nearby area should be here, but Sandra, do we really want to go in? This cursed place has a terrible reputation. I think we need to wait first. Wait for our companions from other areas to wait for their arrival before proceeding with the next step of exploration.”

Under normal circumstances, harpists act individually, but almost every harpist knows a small group. This group usually does not exceed ten people, and they are all friends who know each other. At this time, so many people have gathered in this stronghold. People, this is a very rare situation for the Harpers, because only when some unstoppable event occurs, the Harpers will gather in large groups.

"I also want to do this, Jonas, but time waits for no one. We still don't know what our colleagues who delivered the news found here, but Marula conveyed the highest level to us before he died. A danger signal, this is the highest level of danger warning, we cannot..."

"Calm down! Sandra! With the few people we have now, we can only survive here, operating on the outermost edge of the Cursed Land! But you have to know that this is not even a cursed land. This area is just an ordinary land radiated by the real shadow curse! We are not in real danger yet, but as long as we take another step forward, we cannot guarantee the safety of others!"

The Harpers have a unique code system, which contains various symbols that can guide the Harpers to convey key information secretly. However, most of the Harpers are spies who do not participate in combat because they are civilians themselves. This allows them to infiltrate almost any organization and understand the relevant plans of the evil forces in advance.

But precisely because of their status as civilians, even if they pick up weapons, they have almost no fighting power. The most they can do is fight low-level monsters such as goblins. Facing dangerous Jedi like the Shadow Cursed Land...

"They are not warriors or adventurers, Sandra, they are just a group of ordinary people. Without a high-level professional to lead the team or a numerical advantage, letting them enter there is to risk death. We must be responsible for their safety. !”

"... Maybe you're right, Jonas. I may be too impatient, but the unknown threat has been choking me. I really... Why is it so noisy outside?"

Sandra's brows suddenly frowned. The screams of other harpists were constantly coming from outside the house, so loud that they could hear them even in the house.

Sandra and Jonas looked at each other, walked out of the house side by side, and then saw a group of unexpected reinforcements.

"Master Jaheira!"*2

In the camp, Minsk was holding Xiaobu up high without any care, letting Xiaobu bathe in the admiration and praise of others in the middle of the crowd. Leon just stood aside with his hands folded, silently paying attention to Master Jaheira beside him.

She was asking other harpists for information. This key information would allow them to prepare for the next enemy, but seeing the master's frown, it seemed that these ordinary harpists didn't know much more than them.

The lack of crucial information made them somewhat embarrassed, but with the appearance of the two Harpists who were suspected to be the leaders, Master Jaheira's frown finally relaxed a little.
