Chapter 43 It’s dark, let’s take a rest first!
Hearing the baron's question, a young soldier scratched his head and came out. After saluting, he said:
"Baron, my name is Dirk. The person in charge here is Uncle Morben. When investigating the black fog in the quarry, Uncle Morben accidentally inhaled the black fog and lost consciousness! We pulled his body out, but he is still unconscious."
The young man named Dirk reported to Baron Andre nervously.
Baron Andre frowned as he listened to Dirk's words, looking towards the bare black rocky mountains in the distance. The barren mountains seemed shrouded in an ominous atmosphere under the setting sun.
Looking at the present, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village all looked extremely frightened, in a mess and without any order.
As the group dismounted, Baron Andre immediately took the initiative to introduce Wizard Matyu to the villagers.
"This is Wizard Matyu. He has great strength and rich experience. I specially invited him this time to help you solve the black fog problem in the quarry. With the help of a distinguished wizard, the problem will be solved within three days!"
After hearing Baron Andre's introduction, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village turned their eyes to Wizard Matyu.
Seeing the kind and friendly image and powerful strength that appealed to them, the villagers, who were originally panicked, felt much more at ease, as if they had found a backbone.
"Welcome, Master Wizard. With you here, we will definitely be safe!"
"Master Wizard, please save my son. He is also unconscious because of the black fog!"
"Please, Master Wizard, save my husband."
Wizard Matyu worked with Baron Andre to calm the villagers. After the villagers' emotions had stabilized, they followed the baron's orders and went home to wait.
After the gathered villagers left, Baron Andre brought Wizard Matyu and, under the leadership of Dirk, came to a yard in the village.
“My Lord Baron, My Lord Wizard, all the people in the village who were unconscious due to the black fog have been gathered in this yard by us. There are thirteen people in total.
Seven of them were quarrying workers. They were the first to encounter the black mist. When the black mist was sprayed out from the cracks in the rocks, they inhaled some of it and ran away in fear. They fainted on the ground after a few steps and were carried back by other workers.
The remaining six people were warriors who volunteered to explore the black fog. They all fainted within a few breaths of entering the black fog and were rescued only after being tied with ropes. "Dek narrated.
As Dirk entered the room, Andre and Mathieu saw thirteen people lying on the big bunk bed, lying neatly on the bed and breathing quietly.
Their complexions were normal, and people who didn't know the truth would think they were just asleep.
But according to Dirk's introduction, these thirteen people could not be awakened no matter what.
"Wizard Matyu, please help me!"
Baron Andre stepped aside, giving his seat to Mathieu, and said.
Just from the outside, Andre couldn't see any problems. The strange phenomenon was beyond his understanding, so he could only ask the more professional wizard Matyu to come.
Hearing this, Wizard Matyu nodded and walked to the beds to check on the thirteen unconscious people.
As a wizard of the undead, Matyu also has some research on the human body.
However, the more Matyu examined, the more serious his expression became.
"That's not right! There's nothing wrong with their bones or flesh. The black fog didn't cause any damage to their bodies. But why are they unconscious? Could it be that the black fog has affected their souls?"
Wizard Matyu frowned, realizing that the strange black fog he encountered this time might be dangerous.
Looking around, there were still quite a few people around, so Mathieu gave the Baron a look.
The Baron understood immediately and immediately tricked the others out by saying that they needed a quiet place for the wizard to heal them.
“Andre, these people are not physically injured, but they are unconscious at the moment. I’m afraid their souls have been affected by the black fog. This is a serious matter involving the soul!”
Andre didn't know much about wizards, but he also knew the importance of the soul to a person. When he saw the solemn look on Wizard Matyu's face, he immediately realized that something was wrong and said tentatively:
"You mean, we may not be able to save this person, and even the people in this village will be affected."
"Well, to get a specific conclusion, I still need to go see Black Mist! Only by verifying some things in person can I draw a final conclusion. But I really can't do anything about these people! Alas."
Andre shook his head and sighed.
“What should I do?”
Baron Andre whispered, sighed, and his face was full of helplessness.
After a while, the two walked out of the room, their faces returning to normal.
Wizard Matyu looked at Dirk and said:
"It's still early. Before it gets dark, I'm going to go to Black Rock Mountain to investigate the black fog! Your name is Dirk, right? Show me the way!"
"Master Wizard, are you sure you want to go to Black Rock Mountain now? It's dark now, will it affect your exploration?" Young Dirk said seriously.
"Yes, Master Wizard, it's getting dark. Do you want to take a rest and explore the mountain tomorrow?"
Not only Dirk, but also the soldiers next to him and the villagers in the courtyard, heard what Matyu said and said that it was already dark.
"Nonsense, it's already dark. Forget it, I'll go to the mountain tomorrow!"
Wizard Matyu was about to retort when he suddenly felt dazed. When he looked up again, the sky was already pitch black and lights were on in the courtyard, so he stopped insisting.
At the invitation of the villagers, Mathieu, Baron Andre, and a group of soldiers who had arrived also entered the courtyard and began to rest.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Amid the sound of horse hooves, Lu Feng and Annie arrived at the edge of the Black Rock Mountains before the sun set.
The quarry village is right in front of us.
Lu Feng pulled the reins to stop the white velociraptor, and Annie, who was following closely behind, also stopped her horse.
"Master, we are almost there, why are we stopping here? Let's go quickly, it will be dark by the time we get to the village if we are any later!"
Annie asked Lu Feng with a puzzled tone.
At Annie's urging, Lu Feng did not move forward, but slowly turned his head and looked at Annie.
The cold gaze fell on Anne's face through the mask of the armor, making Anne feel goosebumps all over.
"Master, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong? It's going to be dark soon!"
Facing Lu Feng's gaze, Annie was at a loss and spoke with even more confusion.
Just when Annie was feeling uncomfortable being stared at by Lu Feng, Lu Feng moved, and the tall metal monster showed a different kind of agility in Annie's eyes.
Before Annie could react, a nail hammer fell on her head.
In an instant, Annie, wrapped in a black robe, had her head smashed by Lu Feng's hammer, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Lu Feng was not moved at all by the bloody scene, he just looked up at the sky.
sky,
I don’t know when it got dark!
