It was about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and people in the village had already begun to move.
Seeing strangers suddenly appearing in the village, the villagers seemed a little afraid. Their eyes looked at these strangers from time to time, but they had no intention of getting closer, and even avoided them.
"Lord Holy Son, would you like to find someone to ask?"
Thinking of what Jeff said before going out, the man hesitated.
Although I don’t know why Jeff said this, these words undoubtedly planted seeds of doubt in everyone’s hearts.
Abner raised his eyes and looked at the villagers who took a detour.
"Don't contact the villagers first, look around before talking."
The group dispersed and finally gathered at the entrance of the village.
The village is not big, so we can finish it in less than half an hour.
Small vendors operating normally, farmers working in the fields, children playing on the streets, everything is normal.
The few people who arrived first stood by the path they came from yesterday.
The road was completely dry, and the path extended into the distance until it was hidden in the fog, and the forest seemed to have become hazy.
They finished reporting what they saw.
"Lord Holy Son, there seems to be no problem in this village."
There are no monsters or evil spirits.
Although I didn't sleep well last night, I didn't hear any unusual noises.
"It's better to find someone to ask. Maybe someone knows where those people went before?"
"Yes, I don't know whether Jeff's words are true or false."
That guy is very weird.
Mo Qin stood aside and said nothing, but looked at the villagers who were secretly looking at them in the distance.
"Are the people in the village afraid of us?"
It was like seeing a scourge.
They were wearing the uniforms of the Temple of Light, and there were very few people on this continent who didn't recognize them.
What are the villagers afraid of?
And the surrounding fog showed no sign of dissipating.
Elaine glared at Mo Qin with no concealed hostility. She took a step forward and said to Abner:
"I'll ask."
After receiving permission, Elaine walked towards one of the women.
She had a soft smile and a great attitude.
But such a good attitude did not infect the woman. She backed away repeatedly and her face gradually began to turn pale.
"You, don't come over!"
Elaine didn't expect such a big reaction from the woman. She quickly stopped and raised her hands to comfort the woman:
"Okay, okay, I won't go over. Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you something."
The woman was not comforted at all, and her emotions became more and more agitated:
"I have nothing to say to you! Stay away from me!"
"Get out! Get out!"
Elaine's smile froze, "We are not bad people, we are people from the Temple of Light. If you have any difficulties, tell us and we may be able to help you..."
She tried to persuade the woman, but at this moment, a figure suddenly came out of the room next to her.
"ah!!"
A thin man came towards Elaine with a knife. She hurriedly dodged, but her arm was still scratched.
After hurting someone, the man didn't intend to stop. Instead, he rushed forward again with a knife.
Click——
Abner chanted a spell, and the ice froze the man's feet. He was pinned in place, unable to move forward any further.
The restricted movement did not calm the man down. He twisted his body and swung the dagger, still not giving up the idea of stabbing someone.
"What's going on? He seems to have gone crazy!"
Not knowing if madness was contagious, the timid woman who had been avoiding him also pounced on Elaine.
Elaine is also a clergyman after all. The man appeared too suddenly just now, but now she has reacted.
The woman did not hurt her.
But in line with the principle of not hurting innocent people, she did not fight back, but dodged.
The woman jumped in the air, and when she was about to catch up, she was restrained by a transparent circle of light.
Mo Qin recited a spell this time. After all, so many people were watching, and she didn't want to attract everyone's attention because of this incident.
Elaine bit her lip and stepped back holding her injured arm.
The surrounding fog became thicker at some point, and the houses in the distance were no longer visible.
The bound man and woman were still struggling. Their faces were ferocious and their eyes were scarlet, like crazy beasts with no sense at all.
"Is this why Jeff doesn't let us get close to the people in the village?"
"But why didn't he just say it?"
Someone came up to see, "Why are they going crazy?"
I was avoiding them before, but as soon as I got close, I went crazy.
"It seems to be controlled by something."
"I don't know what happened to the others?"
As if in response to them, several noises were heard from far away.
Abner looked in the direction of the sound, "Go over and have a look!"
Elaine ignored the injury on her hand and quickly followed.
Mo Qin originally planned to follow, but suddenly he found that black filaments were slowly wrapped around the halo that restrained the woman.
When he moved his eyes, he found that the ice under the man's feet also had black threads.
Those black threads were corroding the magic that bound the two of them.
To be on the safe side, Mo Qin added another layer of physical protection to the two of them - tying them up with ropes.
Now I don't have to worry about them running away.
By the time Mo Qin finished tying up the two of them, the others had already disappeared, leaving only Wenzel still with her.
The fog became thicker and thicker, and the visibility was only about four or five meters.
Mo Qin looked at Wenzel, "Are we alone?"
Wenzel immediately promised, "I will always follow you."
"Then let's go."
Although the visibility was reduced, the sound was still audible.
Mo Qin followed the voice and quickly found three companions and several villagers who had been subdued but were going crazy.
The three of them were obviously very excited when they saw her, "Master Qin? Are you okay?"
Mo Qin shook his head and said he was fine.
One of the three was injured. While bandaging his wound, he said:
"These villagers are crazy. Even if they are knocked unconscious, they will still pounce on them."
He was injured because he knocked out a villager. Unexpectedly, the knocked-out villager got up again and gave him a blow.
Fortunately, it wasn't a serious injury, and I don't know what the person behind the scenes was doing by manipulating these villagers to attack them.
The villagers are no match at all.
Mo Qin took out the rope he borrowed from the villagers.
"There seems to be something in the fog that will eat away at the restraints set by the magic. It would be safer to tie them up."
When the three heard this, they immediately looked at the trapped villagers and saw something.
"Your Excellency is indeed observant of every detail."
But he looked at the bundle of hemp rope in Mo Qin's hand.
Is this a little too prepared?
Complaints were made, but their actions were unambiguous and they quickly tied up the villagers.
"Let's find the others together."
In such weather, it is safer to move together. Who knows what will burst out of the fog at the next moment.
