This isn't a souls-like game at all.

All traces of the old magician here disappeared completely, as if he had moved out of the tavern long ago.

"Could it be possible that he really anticipated it?"

Ye Yiyi walked out of the room thoughtfully and took a look at Ba Shi Ba and his own room.

Room 88 was also given to other guests.

On the contrary, his room was not given to other guests. Except for the door being smashed open and the room being searched, everything else was unchanged from before he left.

"Why didn't they give my room to anyone else? Could it be that those two really foresaw the danger and left early?"

"If that's the case, then Halville should have left me some information."

Ye Yiyi thought about it, and then sensed it carefully, and indeed he detected a faint strange magic power.

"Is this magic power a concealment magic?"

He followed the trail of magic to the window, his eyes finally landing on the porcelain cup on the small table.

"this thing……"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to pick up the porcelain cup.

Then he saw faint spots of light falling, and the porcelain cup in his hand suddenly turned into a small glass bottle.

There was also a rolled-up note stuffed in the bottle.

"really!"

His eyes lit up!

Halville really left him a message!

He flapped his wings of light and flew out of the room. Looking back at the Crystal Rock Tavern collapsing in the fire, he sighed slightly.

"Return to the earth, souls."

He prayed softly, then flapped his wings and flew towards the Fire Sparrow Monastery Church in the center of the town. He expanded his cosmic aura to scan the entire town, continuing to search for possible living people.

But the situation in the church was not much different from other places. The once tall church had completely collapsed, and all that could be seen were flames, ruins and charred corpses.

The attackers' methods and strength were beyond his imagination. There was not a single living creature left in the entire city. The knights and monks of the Fire Sparrow Monastery were powerless to fight back against the attack.

Only the bishop seemed to have exchanged a few moves with the opponent, but he was ultimately outmatched and his head was chopped off. He died with his eyes open and was placed high on the ruins of the collapsed church, staring at the sea of ​​fire in front of him with tears of blood.

The Fire Sparrow Monastery's property and assets were also looted. Ye Yiyi found the basement in the monastery where all kinds of gems were supposed to be stored, but it was empty and had been completely emptied.

But in this way, he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions or guess where the other party came from.

Although the Curse Master is a suspicion, the possibility is not high.

They are not fools, and they definitely have no shortage of gems, and they would not do this for Halwell.

What good can they do except further anger Ye Yiyi?

But who could it be?

Ye Yiyi couldn't guess.

He hung high in the sky, looking at the town below him that had turned into a sea of ​​fire, with his eyes lowered and silent.

Such a horrific atrocity of annihilating an entire town reminded him of the "hell" he had witnessed that night in the capital of the Campbell Kingdom.

"No matter who you are, I will find you..."

He whispered to himself, his eyes reflecting the flames that engulfed the city.

"...Then, I'll kill you!"

The dung beetle sensed his emotions and lay silently on his shoulder without saying a word.

He took one last look at the town, then spread his wings of light and turned to fly northeast.

The only thing he could be thankful for at the moment was that Halville and Eighty-Eight were safe and sound.

He landed on a steep hill, opened the glass bottle left by Harwell, took out the rolled parchment from it, and slowly spread it out.

Looking at it in the light of the fire on the pointed corner of the dung beetle, he saw that it was covered with strange symbols that he could not understand.

"..."

Ye Yiyi suddenly didn't know what to say.

He couldn't understand the bordering text at all.

Fortunately, the light curtain jumped out in time and helped with the translation.

After a moment, Ye Yiyi put away the parchment and looked down at the forest under the moonlight, lost in thought.

Halwell didn't say much in the letter, but only mentioned that during the time Ye Yiyi was away, he noticed that many dark people with strange auras appeared in Platinum Crystal Town.

These people, whose origins were unknown, visited various taverns and inquired about various local information.

Halwell felt something was wrong, and his previous experience of walking on the border gave him an ominous premonition.

But he was unable to contact Ye Yiyi, so he had to leave a letter, and then took Bashiba on a carriage at night, left Platinum Crystal Town, and headed northeast of Fire Sparrow Flower, to the border city "Ansuo Shuber" bordering the Iron Kite Knight Kingdom, where he waited for Ye Yiyi.

"In other words, those deceitful people really came here for the gems in Platinum Crystal Town?"

"As for Harville, they probably viewed him as a destabilizing factor in the town, so they wanted to get rid of him before the looting."

"But they didn't expect that the old magician was overly cautious. Once he sensed something was wrong, he ran away faster than anyone else. He was completely unlike a master of magic."

Thinking so, Ye Yiyi flapped his wings again and flew towards the northeast.

But there was no point in thinking about it now, as the attackers had already left after setting fire to the city.

Ye Yiyi even used the Crescent Moon Exploration Technique at that time, but was unable to find out where they were going.

Although after retrospection by the metaphysician, he also discovered other versions of the Crescent Moon Inquiry.

But unfortunately, those versions are not much different from this one, and are even worse than this one.

And the initial impression is still not the original version of the Crescent Moon Inquiry Technique.

At its core, this magic was originally a hymn.

Hymns are not magic, so naturally they cannot be recorded as impressions in the world's memory, but in another place similar to the Temple of Impressions.

This puzzled him a little, but he didn't delve into it too much.

His faith attribute is not even 70 yet, so there is no point in thinking so much.

After flying all night, Ye Yiyi finally arrived at Ansob, a big city of the same level as Amblet, located on the border of the kingdom in the early morning.

Chapter 541: Creating cults and cultists.

After a night of trekking, Ye Yiyi finally arrived at Ansosuober, the largest port city in the Kingdom of Firebird Flower, at sunrise.

The reason why it is called a port city is that Ansuoxiubo was built next to the "Xiubo Fuling River", which is a large river that runs from north to south across the entire southern border. It is also one of the mother rivers of many creatures in the southern border.

In the language of the firefly flower, the word "Xiu Bo" refers to the mother, and "Fuling" means "milk".

In other words, the direct translation of this river is "Mother's Milk River".

The word "Ansuo" means offspring, so the meaning of "Ansuo Xiubo" is the offspring who drink breast milk and river water.

"But it's worth noting that we, the Firebirds, are not the only ones who call this river that."

"Many countries in the north, such as the Knight Country of Tieyuan, the Mountain Country of Yurenfu, the Desert Country of Rangjiangtu, and so on, also call Xiu Bofuling the Mother's Milk River."

"Especially the Rangjiangtu Kingdom, where yellow sand and strong winds are everywhere. It's a deserted place with few people. If it weren't for the Mother's Milk River, the Rangjiangtu people would have died of thirst long ago!"

On the official road beside the lush mountains, Ye Yiyi, dressed as a mercenary, was sitting on a pile of straw at the back of an ox cart, listening to the old farmer driving the cart chattering about various rumors.

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi showed an interested look and asked casually.

"But the language of the Firefly Kingdom is different from those of other countries, right? How did you know they also call that river the Mother's Milk River?"

"Hey, young mercenary like you, I can tell you haven't traveled far before. This must be your first time in Ansoshoeber, right?"

Ye Yiyi showed a youthful smile just right, scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Yeah, that's why I'm a little curious."

"You'll find out when you get to Ansorhoebe."

The old farmer in a coarse turban smiled and said casually:

"Ansuoshuber has the largest port in the entire Fire Sparrow Kingdom. It's a vital trade route connecting the north and the south. Plus, across the river is the port city of the Iron Kite Kingdom, so you'll see a lot of foreigners doing business there."

"Is that so? The other side of the river is already the territory of the Iron Kite Nation."

Ye Yiyi suddenly realized that when he was flying in the sky before, he could see the magnificent city shrouded in the morning mist across the river from afar.

At that time, he was still wondering, the river was so wide and there was no bridge, wouldn't the city be divided into two parts, east and west?

"So, it's no use for a young mercenary like you to just be delivering letters in a small place. While you're still young, you should go out and explore more so you can gain experience."

The old farmer gave a kind smile of an experienced man teaching a younger generation, then raised his arms and bulged his scarred muscles.

"Back in the day, I was also a freelance mercenary roaming around!!"

I was saying, this kind of knowledge is simply not something an old farmer can have.

Ye Yiyi showed an expression of belated realization and chatted with the other party for a long time until they walked out of the mountain path and said goodbye at the fork in the road.

"Ansorthup is right there. Just follow the main road. The city doesn't have walls, so there's no entrance tax. But you still have to be careful. The Knights of the Fire Crown have been checking people quite frequently lately. Don't get caught by them."

"Okay, I understand. Thanks for the ride."

"That's not the case. See you again if we're lucky, young man."

Watching the old farmer driving the cart towards the end of the road, Ye Yiyi also adjusted his leather armor and the long sword at his waist, and looked up at the dung beetle circling in the air.

Then he looked towards the big city in the northeast.

To go to the new territory, Ye Yiyi still used the old method, but this time his character was a rookie free mercenary who went to Ansosuober to deliver a letter.

The Iron Kite Knight Kingdom is different from the Fire Sparrow Flower Kingdom. The distribution of power is more complicated, and his previous identity was too ostentatious. He doesn't want to alert the enemy and disturb those life prototype messengers in advance.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the character in advance.

"Then let's go into the city first, find the old wizard, and then see how to cross the river to the other side."

He walked along the dirt road and soon arrived at the streets outside the city.

The city of Ansoshoeber is quite old. The wooden houses on the outskirts of the city have been repaired many times, but they still look damp and decayed.

The residents here make their living from the river, and the streets are always filled with a foul smell of fish, which becomes more pronounced the further you get into the city.

People of all kinds walked on the streets, including many foreigners and subhumans.

Ye Yiyi also saw an orange-haired cat-like figure about 1.9 meters tall with an apron on his front, bargaining fiercely with a fish vendor at a stall.

Judging from their height and body shape, they don't look like Cui Lengbai people, but should be the cat-people race bordering the native land.

In addition to the cat people, he also saw a group of snake people wearing gauze, with slender figures and their bodies covered with fine brown scales.

These snake people have no legs and can only move by wriggling their bellies. However, their legs are not straight. They also have a pair of human arms and bird claws. The bird claws are extremely flexible, no less than human hands.

Ye Yiyi also noticed that there was a rather peculiar existence among this group of snake people.

The neck beside its head is as wide as a fan, and the scales on it are of different colors, like a pair of brown pupils.

"Cobra Man?"

This shape is so strange and eye-catching that Ye Yiyi couldn't help but take a few more glances. The other party noticed it, turned its head with its bright red tongue, and looked at her with its narrow snake eyes.

But Ye Yiyi had already retracted his gaze and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

The snake man seemed a little confused. He turned his fan-like snake neck and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the back of a young mercenary in the crowd.

"Such high alertness, can be detected by just one glance?"

Ye Yiyi felt the gaze coming from behind her and felt surprised.

If we encounter this on the battlefield, wouldn't it be difficult to launch a surprise attack?

Fortunately, the other party didn't care much. He just glanced at it twice and then looked away, no longer paying attention.

Soon, Ye Yiyi found the place where the other party was staying according to the location described by Halwell in the letter.

An ordinary, inconspicuous tavern in the city.

"squeak~"
