To the north of Iansui Country, hundreds of kilometers away from the dock area, there is a huge cliff with a magnificent castle on the cliff.
This is the base of the Night Clan after they came to Lundria.
Since they arrived, the fog on the cliff has begun to thicken.
Even in the daytime, the castle's towering spires seemed to be drenched in the twilight, and the thick black granite walls were covered with crimson rose vines, swaying in the breeze and exuding a faint scent of floral fragrance.
The Queen of Eternal Night accepts things quickly.
After moving the entire race to Iansyu and the country, she became interested in everything that appeared in Iansyu and the country, especially electric lights, which could perfectly replace magic crystal lamps or kerosene lamps.
She even built a beautiful crystal chandelier for this purpose and hung it in the center of the hall, replacing the previous magic crystal lamp.
A few days later, the daughter of the Queen of Eternal Night, Liuli, found her teacher, Xing.
She said, "Teacher, there are many strange ghosts appearing near our forest. Every time they are driven away, they will reappear, scaring many people, but my mother has no idea what caused it. Teacher, can you help my mother find out what the problem is?"
A mysterious starlight flashed in Xing's eyes, and she smiled and said, "Your mother is smart."
Liuli tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why Teacher Bai suddenly said that her mother was smart.
Xing said: "Come on, Wiz, let's go see what's going on."
......
Stepping into the territory of the Night Clan, I felt a little confused by the fog before my eyes.
"Why is there so much fog on this cliff near the sea?"
Xing said: "The Night Clan doesn't like sunlight, so they create some fog. But the fog they created actually adds a lot of mystery to this place."
I said, "Come to think of it, I've heard some magicians say that a mysterious and ancient cliff appeared in the west, and that there might be treasures and ruins hidden in it. I guess this is it."
Xing laughed and said, "Yes, but this is the territory of the Night Clan. It is not a treasure or a relic at all."
Liuli was a little distressed about this: "Some of my classmates also said that they wanted to come here for adventure. If they came to visit, I would welcome them. But if they came to adventure, it would be a bit strange because this is my home."
After a while, Xing and I, led by Liuli, passed through the fog and came to a village. The surrounding houses looked very gorgeous and clean, but there were no signs of any life activities.
Because the Night Clan are active at night, they are still sleeping at this time.
Then they came to a castle.
The castle is also very beautiful. It is the design style of this castle that makes me feel a hint of antiquity and mystery.
I think the designer of this castle is definitely a very talented architect.
Xing and I came into the hall, and a mixture of dampness, darkness, wine, tomato juice and a hint of blood hit us in the face.
The towering dome of the hall was painted with a dim mural of the starry sky, and the huge crystal chandelier was off, making the light in the entire hall extremely dim.
At this time, the crystal lamp lit up, dispelling the darkness, and the Queen of Eternal Night, Xiaoyue Wuzhi, came out to greet us.
She had a slender figure and was wearing a beautiful black velvet dress. Her long silver hair was neatly tied behind her head. Her face was so beautiful that it was almost inhuman, and so pale that there was not a trace of blood.
Her eyes, as deep as ancient rubies, were now full of smiles.
Liuli ran over, hugged the Queen of Eternal Night, and said, "Mom, I brought the teachers here."
"Well, be good, go and get some rest. I have something to talk to Xing about."
Liuli puffed up her cheeks a little unhappily, but still obeyed the Queen of Eternal Night's arrangements and went back to her room.
"Xing, Wiz, thank you for coming." The Queen of Eternal Night's voice was deep and pleasant.
"I heard from Liuli that there's a ghost here?" Xing Qi got straight to the point, looking around the hall curiously.
No traces of ghosts were found, but the atmosphere here really makes people feel that there are ghosts here.
Wuzhi sighed and said, "Yes, ghosts have appeared recently. They are usually harmless, just scary. Many humans who came here out of curiosity were frightened. I have dealt with it several times, but it still has no effect. I heard from Liuli that Xing is now a detective, so I want you to help me find out what is going on with these ghosts."
Xing smiled and said, "You actually already have a suspect, and because you think this matter is a little difficult to solve, you want to ask me for help and borrow my strength to solve this matter, right?"
Wuzhi showed an expression that he could not hide it from you, and smiled bitterly, "Yes."
Xing: "Okay, I'll help you with this matter, but this time I'm not going to solve it directly, I'm going to use my wisdom to solve this matter!"
Wuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what method you use, Xing, I agree with it."
"Then take us to the scene first."
"OK."
Afterwards, Xing and I, led by Wuzhi personally, came to the haunted place, the Half Moon Forest.
In fact, it is the front part of the cliff, the protruding cliff, half of which is bare grassland, and the other half, as well as inside the cliff, is a huge dense forest. This place is called the Half Moon Forest.
The forest is full of ancient trees that rise high into the sky. Even during the day, the sunlight is filtered through the dense, dark red leaves and becomes mottled. The air is filled with the smell of damp earth and rotten leaves.
“This is it.”
Wuzhi pointed to a clearing in the woods and said, "Those ghosts like to be in this area, usually at dusk or at night, with a ball of green light that makes it hard to see the specific shape and is erratic. Sometimes they will make a shrill scream, and sometimes they will release an extremely unpleasant stench that makes people dizzy. Many humans who wanted to come and contact us out of curiosity were scared away."
As they were talking, a dark green ghost flashed before them.
Xing and I chased after it immediately, and when we were about to catch up, the dark green light began to disappear. At the same time, a pungent smell that was so strong that it made me sick began to spread, and it was so smelly that it almost made me vomit.
Xing didn't react to this and said, "This is an alchemical item, a poison gas bomb."
I heard Xing's words and was surprised: "This ghost also knows how to use poison gas bombs?"
Xing smiled and said, "This is not a ghost. It's just someone's prank. He also transformed the poison gas bomb into a stink bomb."
