"This is the diary of a resident we found in an abandoned house."
Artoris slowly opened her eyes, and just as her consciousness returned, she heard a familiar voice coming into her ears.
Feeling that she couldn't exert any strength, Artolis tried to straighten her body, but found that she couldn't do it at all. Not only was her whole body weak, but it also hurt when she moved!
Atoris bared her teeth and heard Gawain, Kaguya and Crow talking.
"Although I can't be completely sure, it is most likely related to the headless horseman." Gawain said.
"Headless Horseman?" Crowe frowned after listening to Gawain's explanation.
"The fourth-level Earth Spirit level strength, fortunately the opponent did not continue to pursue..." Kaguya also added here.
Listening to the two voices, Artolis was a little confused, but before she could speak, the Wolf King's voice came into Artolis's mind.
"woke up?"
"Master Feng, what is going on?" Artoris's mind was full of questions, hoping that the Wolf King could give her answers.
After communication, Artolis learned the general outline of the matter. Just as Artris remembered, it was indeed herself, Gawain, and Kaguya who came to accept the request, and it was not her own insanity.
In fact, the problem lies in this fog. According to what the Wolf King said, after being separated from Atoris, Gawain and Kaguya found a diary of a resident in a B&B. The diary contains information about the Headless Horseman incident and the mist.
From the diary, we can learn that this kind of fog has a hallucinogenic effect and can interfere with people's subjective thinking. This is why, at that time, the Wolf King would say that Artoris was the only one who came to the Ghost City. It was the fog that covered up the recent part of the Wolf King's memory about Gawain and Kaguya. Artoris will have doubts about her own memory, which is also affected by the fog.
"Fortunately, everyone is fine." Artolis breathed a sigh of relief. Now she was out of the ghost city. Looking up at the starry sky, Artolis said with emotion: "After all the hard work this afternoon, I have never felt so tired."
After hearing what Artoris said, everyone turned their heads and looked at her up and down with a look of surprise.
Being glared at by three people and one wolf, Artoris was startled, and then she asked with dignity: "Is there any problem?"
"An afternoon?" Gawain frowned. Looking at the other person's expression, Artolis sensed something was wrong. Then she heard words from Kaguya's mouth that shocked her: "Liz, are you sure it's an afternoon? But we have obviously been in the barrier for five days!"
"Five days?!" Artolis was a little surprised, "Have I been asleep for so long?"
"No, it's only been two hours since you fell unconscious."
Listening to Gawain's words, Artolis's eyes widened. At this moment, she finally understood why she couldn't use her strength. The punch of the undead knight was not an exaggeration at all, it was clearly caused by hunger after not eating for many days! Just when she thought of this, Artoris heard herself purring.
It was also at this moment that Artolis believed Gawain's words. The feeling of hunger was really like not eating for several days. But...she clearly feels like only a few hours have passed? ! Without thinking much, Artoris quickly took out a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. After swallowing it, she asked for a pot of water from Kaguya.
After barely subduing her hunger, Artoris breathed a sigh of relief.
"Atoris, can you tell me what you have seen during this period of time?" Looking at Atoris's appearance, Gawain thought for a while and then said.
"It's just..." To be honest, Artolis couldn't believe it, so she told her experience at the crossroads in detail, but the story of the Headless Horseman was only a rough summary.
"Is it an illusion? It sounds like an illusion where time flows more slowly." Kaguya analyzed.
"No, all illusions are faster than time. There is no illusion that is slower than time." Mr. Crowe denied it. Looking at Gawain who was nodding aside, Kaguya could only spread his hands helplessly.
To be honest, Kaguya is just a layman when it comes to illusions, while Mu is someone who has actually arranged illusions.
"Then it doesn't mean it's an illusion?" Artolis felt a little dizzy.
"It should be because of the barrier, or another barrier." Crow muttered here, recording the situation in his notebook, which can be used as intelligence to report to the commissioning office.
A full five days had passed, although it seemed to Artoris that only a few hours had passed, but fortunately, this commission was successfully completed. As for the bounty, that will have to wait until Mr. Crowe reports the situation, but before that, Mr. Crowe has fulfilled his promise.
The three of them could never have guessed that what the other party handed them was a map!
"Is it a treasure map?" Artolis moved closer, "It doesn't look like it."
Although the leather map doesn't look very old, it looks like it has been around for at least five or six years. Compared to the detailed and easy-to-understand golden map, Artoris could not say that she couldn't understand this ordinary map at all, but she could barely judge the path direction from the map.
"Mr. Crow, what is this?" Holding the map, Gawain raised his head and asked with confusion.
"I can't say this yet, but I believe you will use it."
Is it so mysterious? What Artolis didn't expect was that even Mr. Crowe started to tell the truth.
…
It had been five days since he had been there, and he was still unable to contact the outside world while inside the barrier. This time, he was thrown to the ground by an emotional Xilu as soon as he entered the dormitory. Lifting up the slime covering her face, Artoris grinned as she looked at the little girl touching her head and laughing.
The team qualifiers have come to an end, with only 495 out of a total of 19,000 teams advancing. In addition to testing the overall strength of the team, the reformed qualifiers also have an integral element of team luck. It is also true that many teams of top 100 players in the individual competition failed in the qualifying rounds, and these people have become the focus of media reporters.
Among a series of hot spots, the most discussed one is Barong and his team. Not to mention that Barong and Huang Hao are on the same team, the video captured by the game team of the two teaming up to fight the dragon has always been at the top of the list of popularity.
At Lilith's request, Artolis took a look at the top five most popular events recently. Needless to say, it’s all news about Barong.
"As the son of Duke Massa Bocar, Baron can be said to be too low-key. I have never heard of him in any hot spots or news before. Compared with you, he is definitely more... He can be called a dark horse player." Lilith said with interest.
