Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 88 Strange

Milo spoke clearly and logically, without any pauses, and there was absolutely no sign of him lying.

Herag didn't think he would lie about such a thing, and instead remained silent, deep in thought.

"Mr. Milo, you must be wrong. I've been to that place a few times before. There are people in the town; it's just an ordinary little town. But when we went there two days ago, the mountain road was fine on the first day, but on the second day it was overgrown with weeds. It takes many years for it to grow like that."

Robert, unable to sit still, began to recount his experiences to Miro with some emotion.

Milo straightened up. If both the great knight Robert and the mysterious Herrag said so, then the matter was not simple.

These two wouldn't come here to tease me for no reason.

After a moment of contemplation, Milo said, "Mr. Herag, do you remember the Valley Town file I showed you before? Everything I said is recorded in the file; we can take another look."

Hrag nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

That's what he thought too. People's memories might be flawed, but the records are written in black and white, so they can't be wrong, right?

The three went upstairs again and arrived at the place where various files were stored.

Just like last time, Milo went to the location of the Valley Town archives and retrieved them.

He handed it directly to Helag: "Mr. Helag, take a look."

Herag took it and found no trace of magic residue on it. He opened it and began to read it carefully.

He watched for about ten minutes without saying a word.

After reading it, he closed the file and muttered, "Deep Blue, take out the information about Valley Town that I recorded last time."

"The data for Valley Town has been retrieved." Deep Blue presented the Valley Town file that had been scanned and entered last time to Herag.

Herag looked at it again, pondering, "How could this be?"

The file in his hand clearly stated that thirty years ago, Creek Valley was attacked by bandits, and everyone in the town was massacred; not a single person survived.

The robbers stole all the property in the town and set fire to many houses.

More importantly, this gang of robbers has never been caught, and to this day, no one knows who did it.

After this incident, Creek Valley Town gradually fell into disrepair, and few people went there anymore.

Because so many people died there, no one wanted to settle there.

Gradually, the valley town was forgotten.

From the paper and handwriting, Herrag could tell that the file was indeed many years old and did not seem to be a hastily made forgery.

"Deep Blue, did Milo show any signs of lying throughout?" He wanted to confirm again.

"Based on observation, there is a 99.8% probability that Milo is telling the truth," Deep Blue stated.

Milo is only a knight-level character and there are no traces of energy particles on his body, so he shouldn't be lying.

Herag was a little confused. In his field of vision, the file clearly recorded all the population increases and decreases, tax revenues and other information of the valley town over the past thirty years.

This information is very detailed, and it was something I scanned and recorded myself at the time.

"That place is so eerie? When did I start being affected?"

After arriving in Stormwind, Herag never visited Valley Town, and his experiences at the Adventurers' Guild should not have been affected by Valley Town.

But after I came back, things changed.

Herag's expression turned grave: "It seems that Milo's or our memories have been altered. What kind of power could have such a wide-ranging impact? This probably involves the rules themselves..."

The text in the file has undoubtedly been altered, but this place is more than 100 kilometers away from the valley town.

While he was thinking, Herag casually handed the file to Robert so he could take a look.

Robert took it, glanced at the file, and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

His hands trembled slightly after reading it, and he asked, "Mr. Miro, you're not kidding us, are you? Is this file authentic?"

"Of course, not just anyone can come here, and no one would switch such a worthless file. It's just a small place, and this happened many years ago," Milo explained.

"Robert, go out and ask other people about Valley Town. Don't ask anyone inside the Adventurers' Guild, go ask on the main street." Herag was still a little worried; he needed to confirm whether everyone's memories were inaccurate.

Theoretically, there's still a possibility that Milo lied or replaced the files. Although the probability is small, he still wanted to confirm it again.

Robert nodded, understanding what Herag meant, and quickly ran downstairs.

He really wanted to confirm it, hoping that there wasn't something wrong with his brain.

About an hour later, Robert came running back, panting heavily.

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem tired, but rather frightened.

"Sir, I've gone out to inquire, and what they're saying is exactly the same as what Mr. Miro said." Robert's face was ashen, and he kept turning back, as if afraid that something was following him.

Herag nodded to indicate that he understood; it was impossible for Milo to conspire with everyone in Stormwind to lie to them.

Therefore, there seems to be only one possibility: after they caused trouble in Valley Town, they triggered some kind of power, causing everyone's memories of Valley Town, except for the two of them, to change.

Only rules can accomplish this, a power that Hrag is not qualified to access at this stage and for a long time to come.

He and Robert were unaffected, most likely because they were in the town of Creek Valley at the time and were therefore affected by that force.

Although Robert didn't know why he was sleeping there, he did have memories of drinking in the tavern, which meant that he himself had gone inside.

"Sir, what do we do now?" Robert felt that everything around him was fake, and only he and Herag were real.

Herag patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "It's nothing, it's just some kind of force at work. You don't need to be too anxious, just eat and drink as usual and live a normal life."

"But sir..." Robert was still a little uneasy; it was the first time he had encountered something so mysterious.

It's one thing if one person makes a mistake, but how could everyone make a mistake? Even the contents of the file could change; this was beyond Robert's comprehension.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. You shouldn't die, otherwise neither of us would have made it out alive, right? Don't be so scared."

Helag could only offer him some comfort, without telling Robert that there were things more terrible than death.

The situation in the valley town was clearly beyond his control, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The only thing they could do was run away.
