Chapter 105 Silver Top
Gramoyne is one of the major cities in the southwest of Plitvice and the capital of Hand County. It is located in a wide mountain basin and is a transportation hub in Hand County.
Since the southwest area of the main island of Plit is almost entirely mountainous plains, Hand County is also dominated by mountainous terrain. The only large plain in the entire county is the Gramorn Basin. The land here is mainly used for reclamation. Agriculture and light industry are the pillar industries here. Since it is close to the plains of Star Lake, the largest lake in the southwest of Plit, there is also a certain amount of fishery output here.
Although Gramorn is the largest city in Hand County, its total population is far inferior to that of metropolises like Tivian. Due to its small population and lack of heavy industrial resources, the environment here is much better than most Plit cities, and even the surrounding rivers and lakes are less polluted.
During the day, birds were flying in the blue sky, and a few horse-drawn carriages were traveling through the quiet streets of Gramorne. Dorothy was sitting in a roadside cafe, slowly savoring a local specialty coffee. In front of Dorothy, across a table from her, was Nephthy, whose expression showed a hint of worry. At this moment, she was looking at Dorothy who was savoring coffee in front of her, and spoke slowly.
"What... Miss Dorothy, you mean to say that the group from the Eighth Point have arrived? Have they arrived before us?"
"Yes... yes, the lake next to this city is covered with spiritual blood mist at night. The blood mist is very thin and ordinary people cannot see it with the naked eye at night unless extraordinary means are used to detect it.
"I have seen this kind of blood mist before. In the early days of Barrett's assassination, I briefly worked with Yatsen to remove it. He has this ability."
Dorothy took a sip of coffee in her hand and put it on the table. She looked at Neveu calmly and responded. Hearing Dorothy's words, Neveu's expression became more serious for a moment, and she couldn't help but mutter.
"Eight-pointed people... This is bad, Miss Dorothy, it seems that we are still a step behind, and they got there first."
Neveu's tone was solemn, but Dorothy's face did not show too much nervousness. After putting down the coffee cup, she sat down slowly and then spoke leisurely.
"The Eight Points are moving faster than us. I had expected this before. After all, their influence is all over Plit, so it's normal for them to be in position faster than us. But there's no need to worry too much. Seizing the initiative in advance does not mean winning the final victory. As long as they haven't found the Mirror Moon Temple, we have a chance."
Dorothy said this. After listening to Dorothy's words, Neveu paused slightly, and then continued.
"Miss Dorothy, what you mean is that... the group of people from the Eight Points haven't found the temple yet?"
"Yes, I've been observing Star Lake for two nights in a row. On both nights, the eight-pointed blood mist appeared on the lake. If those guys had already made a big fuss, they would not have continued to waste their spiritual energy in a place like this and would have returned home long ago." Dorothy said this. Listening to Dorothy's words, Neveu blinked and then continued to ask.
"The blood mist covered the lake for two nights. This means... the Eight-Pointed Man used the blood mist to monitor the entire lake while searching for the temple on the lake?"
"Yes, the blood mist is essentially the blood of the Eight-pointed Spirit-level Extraordinary people. It is a part of their body. Once it touches you, you will be immediately detected by the Eight-pointed Spirit. The blood mist can even penetrate into the enemy's body and affect its internal organs."
Dorothy explained to Nefernis. In fact, Nefernis looked even more worried as she listened to Dorothy's words.
"Being able to create blood mist to cover such a large area of the lake for detection feels a bit similar to the situation we encountered in Monte Carlo... But if the entire surface of the Star Lake is covered by blood mist, how much blood would the Eight-Pointed Dragon have..."
With an obvious look of worry, Nephnis looked at Dorothy and said, Dorothy raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing Nephnis' words, as if she had thought of something.
The blood mist in the eight-pointed water has many similarities with the spiritual mist used by Edward, the water magician. For example, they are both extremely difficult to detect, can actually sense the information within the coverage area, and can even destroy the interior by letting the enemy inhale it.
However, there are essential differences between the two. The mist created by the waterbender is essentially ordinary water vapor with spirituality, while the blood mist of the Blood Dark Bender is a part of the Beyonder himself. In terms of perception sensitivity and operating efficiency, the blood mist is better, while in terms of coverage and overall manipulation volume, the mist of the waterbender is stronger. Moreover, judging from the ability of the Spider Fang Priest that Dorothy encountered, the blood mist should have more functions than water vapor.
'No matter what, the production volume of Eight-pointed Blood Mist should be much smaller than that of Water Mist created by Water Magician. One is to directly use the moisture in the air for transformation, while the other is to release the blood in the body and atomize it into the air. No matter how you think about it, the production scale of Eight-pointed Blood Mist should not exceed the water vapor created by Water Magician like Edward.
'The fact is, the scale of the blood mist released by Bajian every night is quite astonishing, enough to completely cover the entire surface of Star Lake. Although the content of the blood mist released by Bajian in the air is relatively thin, the surface of Star Lake is also quite large, larger than the entire area of Gramorn City. Although the blood mist of the middle-level Blood Dark Extraordinary may have an unusual amount of blood, is the blood mist it creates really enough to cover such a large lake surface? '
Thinking of this, Dorothy suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. The scale of the blood mist created by Bajian exceeded her expectations. Such a large scale of blood mist was almost close to the mist released by Edward on Mon Carlo.
'Anyway, it feels a bit exaggerated that a single Blood Dark could create so much blood mist. Could it be that Bajian had deployed some rituals in Gramorn to expand his abilities? But Bajian and I should have received information from Gramorn at the same time. They arrived here not long before me. Did they really have time to deploy such a ritual? Or...was there more than one Bajian when he came to Gramorn?'
Dorothy thought so in her heart. When she thought of this possibility, her face sank immediately and she froze in place for a moment. Nephnesse, who was standing next to her, saw Dorothy's expression and asked.
