There is no sunlight in the lands of the Pale Throne.
It couldn't be friendlier to the creatures of darkness.
Not to mention that we are now shrouded in polar night.
I woke up early in the morning and walked out of the cabin. I saw that the night was dark and the sky was covered with thick leaden clouds.
Neither Ash nor Sigourney liked this kind of weather.
Ash didn't like it because he couldn't see the stars.
Sigourney didn't like darkness, even though he was a vampire and could only live in darkness.
Although they didn't like the weather, when they left Mogo's cabin, the atmosphere around them was extremely peaceful and soft, just like dried kelp soaked in warm water, which became soft and warm after being fished out, without any sharp edges.
They didn't plan to join Yolande and his men. They had been slacking off the entire afternoon yesterday, so today they were going to complete their mission seriously and patrol the area completely. If they encountered any wandering undead creatures, they could just take care of them.
Before leaving, Ash looked back at Mogo's cabin. The wooden cabin had already decayed and was crumbling. He wondered if it would still exist when they returned to this place next time.
But he did not ask Sigourney if she wanted to protect the cabin. Sigourney could probably protect the cabin for a long time with just an alchemical tool.
But Sigourney did not choose to do so when she left before, so she naturally would not protect the cabin now.
In the long river of time, the wooden house will decay and weather, but every scene here must have been treasured by Sigourney long ago? Deep in his memory, there are wooden houses, courtyards, pine forests, and Mogo scenery, which will never fade.
He tilted his head to look at Sigourney who was walking beside him, and suggested very seriously: "After we find the White Moon Country, let's build a tree house? A cabin for Sigourney and Ash?"
Sigourney paused and sneered, "Isn't this something that has been decided long ago?"
Ash exclaimed, "Ah!" Yes, he had promised Bart a long time ago that he would find the Land of the White Moon and build a beautiful tree house... Although he promised it in a dream created by the devil, he still would not break his promise.
In reality, Sigourney, who really met Bart, must have agreed to the other party's request and good wishes, right?
Find the land of the white moon and build a beautiful tree house.
It would be great if the tree house could become something Sigourney was willing to call "home".
In the dim night, under the heavy dark clouds, Ash and his vampire were in a particularly cheerful mood, perhaps because of their vision for the future, or perhaps because the person next to them would always be with them.
They spent the whole morning covering a large area.
During this time, they encountered a floating low-level undead, a blurry and transparent mass. They didn't find it, and the undead, smelling the fresh flesh and soul, foolishly came to their door.
Sigourney gave the task to Ash to practice with, and Ash calmly cast a three-ring magic "Grasp of Holy Light" to kill the undead who had no mind and only the attack instinct left.
"I wonder how Brother Yolande is doing." Ash said. This task was much easier than he thought.
As he was speaking, a call came in from Yolande.
Sigourney opened a mirror the size of a pocket watch, and a light curtain with Yolande was projected onto the mirror. Compared to the ancient alchemical tools that Nance and Ash used to communicate, this was very advanced.
Of course, it's not that Nance can't afford such a communication tool. But using a notebook to communicate is so discreet that even if he tells Ash something bad about Sigourney, Sigourney won't be able to hear it.
On this side, Yolande said softly, "There is news about Mr. Meng."
Meng and Jane cooperated with each other through unspeakable means in front of Ash, and gradually infiltrated the forces of the Camarilla.
And they found out a piece of information that the recent unusual movements in the Undead Swamp are related to a mysterious organization.
The mysterious organization is recreating an ancient sacrificial ritual in the Undead Swamp, seemingly trying to summon a terrifying existence. The ritual is still ongoing, but the slightest breath leaked out during the ritual will cause the undead race in the Undead Swamp to explode.
It can be inferred that the existence that the mysterious organization wants to summon must be a higher-level existence for the undead race in the swamp. Just like low-level vampires can only kneel before high-level vampires, the breath leaked by this existence makes the undead race feel the absolute suppression of their rank, so they flee and even flee outside the Undead Swamp, attracting the attention of the local lords.
The lord of Leigu Town has issued a mission, and soon a team of black-robed wizards will go deep into the Undead Swamp to explore the root cause of the changes in the Undead Swamp.
The mysterious organization certainly doesn't want the Wizarding Association to discover what it is doing.
Therefore, their sacrificial ceremony should be coming to an end.
When the black-robed wizard who takes on the task enters the Swamp of the Undead, he may end up with an empty house and gain nothing.
As Ash was analyzing this in his mind, he happened to hear Yolande say, "Time is running out. The sacrifice ceremony will end tomorrow night, and I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until the people from the association find the ceremony location. Mr. Meng hopes that His Excellency Scarlet Moon will go to the Undead Swamp as soon as possible and capture all the core members of the organization in one fell swoop."
The sacrifice ceremony seemed to be a big event for the mysterious organization. According to the information obtained by Jane and Meng, all the top leaders of the organization were present.
——This is good news.
It makes it convenient for him to catch them all in one fell swoop.
Sigourney thought, glancing at Ash as she thought, and very much doubted whether it was the result of Ash's good luck.
I have received the message from Yolande, so why am I still patrolling?
The rest of the area will be left there.
It would be better to go directly to the Swamp of the Undead and resolve the root cause of the mutation once and for all.
Before leaving, he only informed Nance.
There are people from a mysterious organization in the Wizarding Association, and even the top leaders have been infiltrated, so they can't go and tell the association now that someone is performing an evil ritual somewhere in the Swamp of the Dead. God knows if they tell the story now, the mysterious organization will get the news immediately, and when they go there again, they will only find the place empty.
Once you alert them, it will be more difficult to catch them again.
Moreover, it is unlikely that such a lucky opportunity will occur a second time for the core members of the organization to gather together at once.
To put it another way, the core members of the mysterious organization are all gathered together, and the guards and surveillance inside the swamp must be extremely strict. If a large group of people from the association really rush in, they will only alert the enemy.
Others will not just sit there and wait for the association to arrest them.
It is not impossible that after they have escaped in all directions, they could find a remote place and hold the ceremony again.
Sigourney didn't plan to bring many helpers.
He alone is enough.
In the paradise of the undead race - the Swamp of the Dead, he, as a creature of the dark night, is absolutely invincible.
Before taking a step forward, he tilted his head to look at Ash, and thought, well... let's take Ash with us.
Of course, Sigourney would never admit that she had become a little superstitious about Ash's luck.
Having made up his mind, he took out a magic carpet with the effects of "concealment" and "extreme speed" and flew towards the Undead Swamp with Ash.
As for Yolande and the others, they felt that they could not get involved in the internal changes of the Undead Swamp, so they continued their mission diligently. Including Ivan, each of them performed with superb acting skills and behaved as calmly as ever.
Only Quentin was particularly unwilling.
We agreed to take him with us when we take action!
Back then, Mr. Youhun single-handedly dealt with all the people in the Red Sand Camp, and did not leave a single enemy behind!
Now that we know that the organization has revived, it is a great opportunity for revenge!
He wants revenge on that organization!
"You're not strong enough." The honest Ivan gave him a critical hit.
Quentin: “…”
He looked gloomy and said no more.
