The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
Not only can it summon this strange creature, but it can also split according to people's fear. So who is the real master?
Keep going forward, but there will always be people who can't help but look back. Once fear or even curiosity appears, the bandaged man will instantly appear in front of that person.
Looking at the witches around him, he was subconsciously startled.
“I saw it again”
The other party nodded.
"I'm sorry, Lord Earl."
"Don't look back, don't think that once you look back you won't be able to forget it, it will always follow you," Sean said.
But in fact, he couldn't completely control the curious thoughts in his heart. It was as if he tried his best to tell himself not to think about the bandaged man, but subconsciously he couldn't help thinking about its weird appearance. Every time Sean turned his head, he could see the bandaged man standing around him.
It's like entering the other party's territory, and it follows you wherever you go.
It’s just that I’m really not afraid, so they won’t really pounce on me.
"This is very difficult. How can I stop myself from thinking about what I just saw, and it's so weird."
"Think about something happy and chat. Relax your mood." Sean said.
But these are not effective, people still can't overcome their subconscious
Seeing that everyone around was in a nervous state, at least they were not afraid or frightened, so the team's safety could be kept for the time being.
There is probably no chance to leave now. I believe no one will forget the appearance of the Bandaged Man once they have seen him. Once he leaves, he will always follow the team. Countless people will see him, and then he will spread like a virus to the entire Oro region or even further.
The species displayed by the other party is chaos.
So this is what it means
He turned his sight and saw the location in the surrounding dense forest.
It just stands there looking at itself
Motionless.
Like a shadow
"Nisha."
"I am here, my Lord."
Sean asked Nisha, the only one on the other side who had research into alchemy.
"How much do you know about the so-called Door of Truth of the alchemists? What will happen to those who violate the alchemy taboo?" He felt more and more uneasy. There were countless bandaged people around him who were staring at him and he couldn't get rid of them at all.
It is even more difficult to forget them. Just one look at them will leave an indelible mark in the soul, and I will probably think about them even in my dreams.
“There are many theories”
Sean looked at each other.
"There's a story in the stories passed down through Kserk that goes something like this: thousands of years ago, in order to win the battle against the underground spider monsters, the alchemists of the former state, with the capital on the verge of destruction, used the flesh and blood of countless people to fuse into a gigantic war machine that could withstand the enemy. However, in the end, they summoned a terrifying monster."
"What kind of monster?" Sean asked.
Many people around turned their attention here. Once they stopped worrying about the bandaged man, he no longer existed.
But when Sean thought about this, he subconsciously looked at the surrounding forest and it appeared again.
"A monster described as having countless arms and no face. His appearance did not indeed destroy the enemy, but it also led to the extinction of the entire empire. Anyone living in Xerxes should have heard this story. It is used to warn people not to delve too deeply into the nature of the world." Nisha said.
"So, do you know something called a Lovekla pendant?"
When he said this, the other party suddenly stopped, and then Sean also stopped. Because he stopped, everyone stopped as well.
"Where has the Earl heard this name?"
"So you know..." Sean looked at Nisha, and couldn't help but glance at the dense forest behind her.
Once you have even a slight thought in your mind, the bandaged man will always be standing where you can see him.
"It's a strange pendant. It's said to be able to heal all wounds, both mentally and physically. However, the price is very high. I've never seen its true appearance. It's only been passed down in stories about the works of famous ancient alchemists."
While the two were talking, the person who was sent to explore the way ahead had already returned.
Although everyone knew it, Sean knew that the bandaged man must still be in their sight, so everyone looked nervous all the time. They didn't want to be passively protected as well.
The scouting soldier replied that an enemy camp was found ahead, but no one was found.
"No one"
"No one."
Sean took Ascalante and the witches and quickly ran to the location of the revolutionary army camp, which was the same location marked on the map, and his own map showed that there were no enemies on it.
Everyone is gone
Could it be related to these bandaged people around?
Sean previously thought that the bandaged men might be some kind of magic or controlled by a master behind the scenes, so by coming to their camp he should be able to find the mastermind and eliminate these fears, but there was nothing in the camp.
Sean stood in the middle of several houses. The soldiers were looking around and searching. He also walked to the door of a house and squatted down.
There were traces of footsteps on the snow, but there was no one around.
Everything in the room was neatly arranged, including the meat, vegetables, and pots they had eaten but not yet cleaned up. It was as if all those people had evaporated in an instant.
"Sir, come here quickly," Ascalante at the door suddenly called out to him.
