This is the third village in Icewind Dale, called Snow Village.
Ye Qing caught up with Shi Feng in the second village on the map, because she only had to follow the traces left by him to catch up, but Shi Feng needed to carefully explore the various changes that occurred in Icewind Valley after he left.
Then they came to the snow village together, only to find that the village was being invaded by monsters.
However, from the sky, it is not so much that the monsters are attacking the village, but rather that someone is feeding the monsters.
The attacking monsters were all low-level beings. They were originally unable to climb the towering city wall, but the city gate suddenly opened. The defending villagers were unconscious on the city wall silently, and the snow wolves and ice jackals filed in through the city gate. It's as if the hunting dogs were driven into a sheep pen full of fat sheep by their owners, and then began to feast on blood.
This was what Ye Qing and Shi Feng saw, so Shi Feng launched his strange domain without any hesitation. Countless ice thorns grew and spread throughout the village, while Ye Qing was attracted by the cry of the snow fox during his inspection. Attracted, the mother and daughter were saved by chance.
But that's about it.
Even if Shi Feng used the most powerful means to kill the raging monsters, the killed villagers would not be resurrected. In just a quarter of an hour, one-third of the lives in the village were lost.
So when the villagers, with the assistance of Ye Qing and Shi Feng, re-sealed the city gate, collected the corpses, and disposed of the remains of the monsters, everyone's face was filled with deep sadness.
"Why?" Ye Qing quietly asked this question when she was alone with Shi Feng.
This is not a field she is familiar with. The battlefield she is most familiar with is in the court where conspiracy and power are intertwined. She can smell the fear, excitement and desire in everyone, but in this snowy field, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Lanye is out and out. stranger.
Therefore, she could only rely on Shi Feng, the boy and lord who grew up here, to obtain correct information and judgment.
"The monsters have lost their freedom." Shi Feng stood on the city wall and looked at the snowfield outside. The storm was still continuing, and it became extremely difficult for the villagers to go out, so they could only huddle within the city wall and wait for the storm to end.
"I tried to communicate with them, but the response was dead silence."
"They seem to be alive and can eat and breathe, but their souls are imprisoned in their bodies and they can only howl helplessly, just like the ones we met outside Tianlan City."
Ye Qing stopped and shuddered as he recalled what Wuyougu said at that time.
"Someone is watching us."
Wuyougu said this at that time.
Then she followed Ye Qing and his entourage into the city. After completing Operation Divine Enlightenment together, she waited for everyone to leave.
Massacred Shi Feng's entire clan, and she herself turned into a corpse.
Now it seems that those eyes looking at them were undoubtedly Wuyougu's eyes at that time.
"Did the Dragon Bone Lich control them?" Ye Qing also said this taboo name: "But why?"
"It's always difficult to ask why the beings in the heaven behave the way they do." Shi Feng replied: "Since I was born, Tianlan City has been shrouded in the shadow of the great corpse witch. All magic contracts ultimately point to the source. He enjoys all the offerings. He is like the second master of Tianlan City, sucking the blood of the city in the shadows. In return, he protects the city and will not take the initiative to attack the city. All Families that offer sacrifices to him will receive rewards commensurate with the sacrifices every year. If a sufficient price is paid, he will even grant some powerful magic scrolls and even items to help those families who serve him increase their strength."
"His lifespan is almost endless. Before the establishment of the Lanye Empire, when the age of saints had not yet begun, he came to the Holy Snow Mountains and lived adjacent to Tianlan City. He shocked the entire snowfield with the peak strength of Ziwei. ."
"Three hundred years have passed like this. Countless old people have died, countless children have been born, countless families have been destroyed, and countless bloodlines have arisen. The Lanye Empire has been established in the lake in the west, and the city lord of Tianlan has bowed his knees to that emperor."
"The sea has changed, time flies."
"Everything has changed, only he remains the same."
"Of course he is not a good person. He is a necromancer, a forbidden magician who is associated with death. He has not been involved in the world for hundreds of years. So when I first met Wuyougu, I never compared her with that person. Connect it, because the Dragon Bone Lich has not heard of any major movements in hundreds of years, and none of its descendants have appeared in the world. The only recognition of his existence is that he is there. "
"Not only are ordinary people completely unaware of his existence, but even those families who are closely related to him, their attitude towards this strong man is more like worshiping an evil god, sacrificing precious things in exchange for the power he needs."
"But today, three hundred years later, he suddenly took action and controlled the monster in this weird way."
"The purpose of keeping these villages in Icewind Dale is to provide delicious canteens for his pets, but the canteens will always be eaten. After these villages are destroyed, what will he do? "
Shi Feng asked himself calmly with cold eyes.
"Nature is the outside world."
Ye Qing sighed: "I have only vaguely heard of his name. He is widely regarded as a strong man wandering the boundary between life and death. If he can deal with his hidden dangers, then the Necromancer has a cruel motto. Shi Feng, you must have heard it too." Pass."
Shi Feng nodded.
"We draw strength from death."
Shi Feng calmly said this widely circulated motto. This sentence is the best endorsement of the Necromancer and is also one of the ironclad evidence used by the major empires to encircle and suppress the Necromancer after the collapse of the Kingdom of the Necromancer.
He looked back at the village immersed in the grief of death, with firm eyes: "Wuyougu asked me to come here to seek the truth. Although I haven't gotten what I want, I have seen everything else."
"She used to tell me to run away as far as possible, or try to stop it all. I didn't know what to stop, but now I seem to know."
Then he looked at Ye Qing: "You have seen everything here. When you return from here, tell the city lord immediately that neither the Dragon Bone Lich nor the upcoming army of monsters under his command are things that Tianlan City can fight against." ."
"We need help, all help, and you are the best messenger."
Ye Qing looked at his serious expression and slowly shook his head.
"I reject."
Shi Feng looked at her: "Why."
Ye Qing laughed lightly, but the expression on his face was extremely solemn.
“I haven’t seen enough to want to keep watching.”
"Ask for help." Ye Qing reached out and took out the crystal from his arms, and smiled lightly: "We can do it at any time, but we haven't seen the whole truth yet. I want to move on until I see enough. As far as things go."
"There are three more villages ahead, right?"
Ye Qing asked.
Shi Feng shook his head coldly: "You can't go."
Ye Qing smiled slightly: "There is no place that Her Royal Highness cannot go."
She pulled out the piece of beautiful green jade from her arms and looked at the ice gorge in the distance: "You think so, Lord of Icewind Valley."
